What came into view was a bright area, which was far different from the blood-stained and dark red world they imagined, filled with the smell of sulfur. The surroundings were quiet, and there was no sign of danger.
The huge and old body of the ice dragon landed on a mound, and Ms. Andal stood on top of it. In the face of the will of the world, the ancient dragon cannot resist at all. She is its master. Ms. Andal looked up into the distance, "Is this here?" she asked. []
"Yes, dear lady. This is the place where our dragon clan fought desperately back then." The old dragon said sadly, "The Dragon King tore apart the space and invaded Clegg's lair, but we still couldn't see Clegg. The real body collapsed. The danger here is hidden under the seemingly peaceful environment, and there are terrible creatures everywhere. However, I never thought I could come here again."
¡°It¡¯s not too late to come now.¡± Leo said.
In his magical vision, this world is full of chaotic torrent of magic flowing everywhere. In the air and in the earth, it seems that this is a world completely constructed by magic. It was messy and unpredictable, and Leo felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart. He knew that this place was completely subject to Clegg's will, and that it would completely collapse if he thought about it. He glanced at Ms. Andal on the old dragon's body and found that her eyes were also shining. She must have noticed something strange here.
"You shouldn't have come." As expected, Ms. Andal said quickly.
"If you fail, we will still die. It's better to come along and maybe help a little bit." Leo said with a smile, "We don't want to just wait like that without doing anything."
Andal¡¯s eyes swept across them, and she understood that the humans who had awakened her had made up their minds. "Be careful yourselves." She sighed, "IfI can't protect you."
¡°You are the will of the whole world,¡± the pope said. ¡°In comparison, our lives are insignificant.¡±
"It's so annoying." Rosie waved her hand, "Anyway, we won't die that easily."
"Well." Andal held the golden sword tightly, "Be more careful."
However, they walked for a long time without seeing any obstruction. The surroundings were so peaceful that they didn't feel any anxiety about being in another dimension at all. It was as relaxed as if they were on an outing. Although they speeded up, looking around, there were endless grasslands and mountain forests as far as the eye could see.
"I can't feel the malice here." Andal suddenly said, "This is completely different from the peek I noticed when I first woke up. It's so peaceful here, and even reveals a kindness."
"Good intentions?" Leo couldn't believe his ears.
Rosie couldn't help but sneer, "He actually has good intentions?"
"We don't understand the situation, so it's best to be careful." Leo shook his head, "Master Ice Dragon, do you have any memories of this place that are worth reminding us?"
Old Long thought hard. "It was too long ago, almost ten thousand years ago." It said as it recalled, its eyes sweeping around, as if it wanted to evoke deep memories through this terrain. "I remember that when we first arrived here, we were besieged by demons. At that time, the magic here was in chaos, and the neighborhood was not like it is now. It was desolate, like an abyss of hell where demons live. Volcanoes and magma. But nowit's very different here. Just like Ms. Andal said, I don't feel any hostility."
"Maybe the devil is confusing us?" the storm chaser said uncertainly.
"No, this is not an illusion." Ms. Andal said without any doubt, "I'm sure this is the original appearance of this world. Alchemist, feel it with your heart, you should be able to feel the truth behind the chaos. That kind of fragility balance.¡±
Li Ou looked over as he said. The magic power of the plain in front of you is intertwined, and countless torrents of magic power are wild and roaring, but they constitute the most solid and stable ground in this alien plane. Leo stamped his feet vigorously, and the solid feeling reminded him how strong the fragile balance Ms. Andal said was. However, even if he tried to look far away, he could not see where the steady flow nodes of these scattered, seemingly rhythmless magic lines were. He could only faintly feel the flow of magic power. He raised his head suddenly.
"Keep moving forward, I can feel that the answer is in front of me."
Ms. Andal nodded slightly, "You are right. Regardless of whether the other party is well-intentioned or malicious, we have to speed up our pace."
So she raised her hand slightly, and they flew up as if they had been blessed with group flight. The ice dragon vibrated its wings, and they flew quickly in the direction indicated by Ms. Andal."This is a demiplane."
When the stars covered the night sky for the third time, they no longer knew how far they had flown. Now they were sitting in an open space in the forest, a blazing bonfire burning, illuminating their tired and uneasy faces. These days, they have not encountered any creatures, not even the dangerous demons mentioned by the old dragon. This silence and stillness tortured them, making them feel as if they were being watched from the shadows. Although Ms. Andal repeatedly emphasized that she felt nothing strange, the heavy feeling weighed on her heart like a mountain.
"Demiplane?" Lord Wind Chaser opened his mouth wide.
"No, to be precise, it can be described like this, but it is definitely not a demiplane in the ordinary sense." Ms. Andal, who had been paying attention to the patterns, explained. "Generally speaking, the demiplanes we are talking about are anchored on the main plane, and the Kingdom of God is one of them, but this one is different." Ms. Andal frowned.
"Difference?" Li Ou couldn't tell what the difference was. The sun, moon and stars here do follow a unique pattern. Different from the rigidity of other demiplanes, they are more like existences in a real universe. Leo racked his brains, "The only difference I can imagine is the magic that makes up this land. They seem to follow a weird rule."
"I have never experienced this kind of rule," Ms. Andal said. "And it is beyond imagination. Its effectiveness is undoubtedly beyond our world."
This is of course, otherwise why would Craig be called the Demon God of Destruction and Creation.
¡°Dear Madam, can you now determine the direction in which we are going?¡± the Pope asked.
¡°Keep going, I can feel that it¡¯s not too far away.¡±
"But noble lady," Ice Dragon spoke, "I suggest that we should be more careful. Although there are no obstacles along the way, I still remember that our dragon clan was completely destroyed there before There should be mountains surrounding the front, but I don¡¯t know what is farther away I am a deserter" Old Long said painfully.
"It's a great courage for you to come here again." Andal said, "Have a night's rest and let's move on."
The world is much bigger than they imagined. Even with the blessing of Andal's power, which allowed them to break through the sound barrier at a speed, it took them several days to fly out of the mountains mentioned by the ice dragon. Then they flew through the mountains, forests and deserts, until they reached the roaring seaside, and then they finally I saw the destination of this trip.
"If you're right, that's where we're going." Ms. Andal frowned, "I can hear some kind of call. It conveys goodwill."
In front of them, there was a towering tower in the ocean. Even looking at it from a distance, Leo could feel the fluctuations emanating from it, a controlled and regular pulse. There was no doubt that that was the world there. center of.
"But this ocean" The Pope seemed to sense something.
"This ocean has some incomplete malice, like fragments of this world that have not yet been assimilated." Ms. Andal said, "Don't worry, these are just fragments of consciousness and will not hinder us."
The closer they got to the spire, the more frightened they became.
It is much larger than Leo imagined, and it is far more shocking than the sword spiers. Standing under the tower, you can't even see the tip. Its highest point is hidden in the sea of ??clouds.
¡°It¡¯s the core of this world,¡± Ms. Andahl said, ¡°and maybe the core of our world.¡±
"What should we do now?" Leo asked.
They thought that there would be a fierce battle after coming to this world, but they didn't expect that this world would be peaceful and more peaceful than their world. This was simply unbelievable. Now Leo doesn't know what to do. He felt that all the ancient books he had read before were just a pile of waste paper and of no use at all.
"The owner here has no ill intentions. I heard his invitation." Ms. Andal showed an expression of listening and thinking. "Follow me, he tells me how to enter."
Leo was surprised, but before he could say anything, Ms. Andal had already sheathed her long sword and walked towards the tower first.
"Leo?" Lu Yuewu called worriedly.
"It's okay," he forced himself to smile, "Ms. Andal won't harm us. Come with me." He took the hands of Rosie and Lu Yuewu and followed Ms. Andal's footsteps.
There is still peace in the spire, only the light of magic shines inside. Ms. Andal led them through the labyrinth-like tower as if she were the master here, heading up. Li OuI was on high alert, but I knew that Ms. Andal stopped and knocked on a closed door, but no enemy appeared.
"Welcome, guests from afar." An old voice sounded in their ears, and the doors in front of them slid open to both sides. "Please forgive me for my limited mobility and inability to greet in person, the incarnation of the will of the world, the beautiful lady."
"Who are you?" Ms. Andal asked.
What appeared in front of them was an old man sitting on a chair. There were countless crystal screens erected in front of him, as if they were some kind of surveillance spell, watching the worlds he created.
"Craig?" Rosie asked sharply. She tried to summon magic, but this spire seemed to be a forbidden area of ??magic, and her spells had no effect.
"Are you the devil of destruction and creation? Trying to summon the culprit of the doomsday?" the Pope accused.
"Guests, you seem to have made a mistake." The old man pressed a button on the chair, and then several chairs appeared out of thin air. Even the ice dragon had a huge chair under his butt. "Please sit down and I will answer your questions slowly."
They couldn¡¯t refuse and sat down looking at each other.
"My name is not Clegg, nor is it the Devil." The old man said.
"Then who are you?" Ms. Andal used honorifics, which alarmed her followers. But she waved her hand to stop their words.
"My name doesn't matter." The old man looked at them with a smile. "What matters is that you are one of the few guests who can summon the incarnation of the will of the world and come here for so long. Congratulations, you passed Test, from now on, you will no longer be subject to any surveillance or suppression, and your world will be free."
"free?"
The old man smiled and pointed to the colorful screen next to him, showing different pictures and various strange creatures. "Each picture represents a world and a civilization. Creatures are endless, evolution and survival are eternal topics. You guys Your guess is correct, the world originated from me. I allowed civilization to grow, but many civilizations were always destroyed by themselves, but there were also more perfect civilizations born from the ruins. However, every civilization that can reach here means that they have become Maturity is like a child finally becoming an adult, they will eventually break away from their parents¡¯ supervision"
"Nonsense!" Ice Dragon shouted loudly, "But what about us? Where are the Dragon Clan? This was not the case when we came here!"
"Last time?" The old man showed a thoughtful expression, "I still remember your race. But I'm sorry, it was locusts from another universe who found this place at that time. They couldn't face up to their humbleness, were cruel and bloodthirsty, and I had to stop them. They destroy and devour this universe, so I'm sorry, friends of the Dragon Clan."
"You mean, those demons?"
"That's what you call them?"
"Anyway, they are those guys. They found your world. And they tried to erode, corrupt you, and take away your world." The old man said, "I tried my best, but the help is limited. I am just a recorder. The rules of the universe destined me to Can¡¯t interfere.¡±
"So, all the apocalypses that have ever happened were because of those demons?" Leo asked in surprise, "But what happened to the fall of those gods?"
"Because the devil has corrupted your gods." The old man said, while summoning a crystal screen to replay the past scene. "Like I said, I couldn't intervene. Fortunately, you resisted in the end."
On the screen, the war was extremely tragic.
"What about alchemy?"
"That is the gift from another world to you."
"Then who are you?" Ms. Andal asked again.
"Just as you are the will of the world, I am just the embodiment of the will of the universe." The old man said, "I exercised my powers of observation and selected its masters for the universe. You passed the test. But now, guests, those locusts are Yelling. I think our conversation can continue later and I'd be more than happy to talk to you, especially this lady."
"Wait, who is Craig?" Leo suddenly asked before leaving.
"The real devil, the leader of the locusts in another universe." The old man shrugged, "But it is no match for the will of the entire world."
¡¡
On this day, countless people witnessed this scene at the same time:
A huge meteor fell from the sky wrapped in golden flames. It exploded in the sky and turned into a Valkyrie with a golden helmet. She held a sharp sword and cut through the sky with her wave of hands. A huge demon emerged from the black void. Got out. It was defeated after fighting the Valkyrie for several rounds.? broke into pieces. Immediately, a rain of light enveloped the entire planet. Under the holy light, the demons howled in pain and died.
¡¡
"I didn't expect it to end like this." Leo said with a wry smile.
"I can't think of it either." Lu Yuewu sighed, "Anyway, I still have questions in my mind."
¡°Let¡¯s ask the question next time when we go to see the old man.¡± Rosie touched her bulging belly, ¡°I just don¡¯t know how long it will be next time.¡±
"Maybe soon." Leo said.
"Yes, very soon." They sighed together, and then looked to the end of the sky.
There, they saw the sky breaking and then coming together again in an instant. They all knew that it was a symbol of freedom. It marked that they had completely escaped from the prison of their birth, and could now fly freely in the sea of ??stars.
"After that, there will be another world." Ms. Andal appeared beside them at some point, "The vast universe. To be honest, Alchemist, I never thought about it."
I haven¡¯t thought about it either. Leo sighed, "No matter what, it's a new world."
"Yes, the new world." The golden Valkyrie showed a relaxed smile, like the rising sun. "Miss Rosie, if you don't mind, let me give your child a name." She said, "In the name of the world, she will be a witness of the new world."
