Chapter 639: Two Worlds
Chapter 639: Two Worlds
Another continent fell from the sky upside down, the two worlds were destroyed in a “slow collision” beyond recognition, a kind of surreal “collision” that was more than a simple physical touch… -After seeing the distortion, chaos, and madness spreading through the forest, Lucrecia had a vague realization of this truth.
On another occasion, she would have gladly embarked on a long and arduous study of the matter, and would have been willing to approach the scholars of the city-states, to unite the minds of the brightest and the most brilliant, in order to understand all the secrets of the collision.
But now was clearly not the right time.
The paper-folded boat was rocking wildly, like a flat boat caught in the storm, in a violent shock that was centered on the collapsing Silantis, unleashed on the whole world, and then returned as if it had been reflected by the “end” of the world, reverberating again and again between heaven and earth.
In this violent impact and tearing that was far beyond human capacity, the small paper boat emitted a disturbing tearing noise, and even the powerful “Witch of the Sea” felt that her control over the boat was rapidly approaching its limit.
Shirley saw the gravity in Lucrecia’s face at a glance, and immediately hugged Dog’s head while letting out a loud cry of alarm: “Are we going to fall!
Lucrecia frowned tightly, she didn’t reply to Shirley’s shout, but instead swept her gaze quickly over this world that was already fragmented and was rapidly on the verge of destruction, then suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the earth in the distance, “Let’s go and land over there.”
“Wouldn’t that be looking for death!” Sherry instantly exclaimed, “Do you see any place on this ground where we can land?!”
“The ‘erosion’ has stopped, it’s the flames that are burning everything at this stage – just fire, far friendlier than those weird and monstrous shadows.” Lucrecia twisted her head to look at Shirley, and without paying any attention to what the latter’s reaction was, she had begun maneuvering the rickety paper boat towards the lesser fire in that part of the forest in rapid flight.
The paper boat accompanied by Shirley’s screams broke through the smoke in the forest, and traveled between the two worlds that had already been turned into an inferno, the Silantis canopy crumbled above their heads, and the burning trees and blades fell from the boat to the earth like a collapsing nightmare, while the inverted piece of land was still slowly falling, and Shirley could now almost see clearly the ground grooves and undulating dunes on it! —
It was falling so slowly, as if the process could last forever, but the fall was so unstoppable, so constant, like a slowly grinding doom that was crushing everything on earth, inch by inch.
Lucrecia maneuvered the boat with all her might, scanning the forest with her eyes, trying to find a relatively “safe” landing spot in that inferno.
A blur of light suddenly caught her eye.
The next moment, the boat flew in that direction – so fast that Shirley thought it was falling out of control – and it passed through the rain of fire falling from the sky, through the dust and sand that had filled the sky and the earth at some point, floating and swirling like a phantom, in a very thrilling fashion. The sand and dust that had been floating and curling like a phantom since some time ago, rushed straight towards the flash of light that was located deep in the forest.
The flash of light became clearer and clearer.
It was a sheltering barrier supported by a curtain of light that was roughly conical in shape.
Shirley also saw the curtain of light, and she lay on the edge of the paper boat in amazement, staring downward with wide eyes for a long time, before finally recognizing the two familiar figures from the barrier, “Ahh! It’s Nina, and the old man!”
Accompanied by Sherry’s surprised shout, the paper boat carrying her and Lucrecia whistled through the last distance, finally reaching its limit at the last moment of contact with the ground, it split apart on impact and turned into fine dust in the blink of an eye.
Shirley hugged Dog, wolfishly jumped out at the last instant, one person and one dog hugged each other and rolled on the ground for a dozen times in a row before finally coming to a stop in front of the conical shimmering light.
She looked up and saw Nina, who was standing inside the barrier, and old Mr. Morris, who was showing a stunned expression next to her.
A pile of swirling pieces of colored paper, on the other hand, landed smoothly beside Sherry, and Lucrecia coalesced out of it.
Nina waved at them from the barrier.
Shirley and Lucrecia looked at each other, and without hesitation, they stepped into the seemingly fragile, but real “light curtain” that blocked the tide of destruction in the forest.
For a moment, it was as if the entire world had fallen silent.
The horrible noise that roared in the forest became inaudible, the scorching storm that swept over the whole land was blocked outside the light curtain, the pungent smoke and the poisonous mist that steamed in the fire were also blocked outside, and Shirley even felt a breath of fresh air coming to her face – she lowered her head, and even saw that she stepped on a few plants of green grass, and next to her there was a small bush. a small bush.
“Awesome ……” she looked up at Nina and Maurice in shock, “How did you guys make this? Lucrecia and I could only escape to the sky ……”
“Not us.” Nina, however, just shook her head gently, then turned sideways and raised her hand to point in a certain direction behind her and Morris.
Sherry looked there in surprise, and in the next second, her eyes widened slightly.
A small tree was quietly rooted there, rooted in the land that was falling apart.
Her trunk was thin and slender, with long branches spreading all the way to the sky, and then drooping down at the edge of the canopy, swinging gently in the breeze.
With this small tree at the center, a conical curtain of light constructed the last safe haven.
Out of nowhere, Shirley seemed to hear a voice-
“Come with me, I will take you to the wall of silence ……”
The voice then dissolved in the wind.
“We’ve come to the Silent Wall now,” Nina turned her head and looked Shirley in the eyes, “the last, true Silent Wall.” Shirley was stunned for a moment, and slowly made her way over to the small tree, the branches dangling from the edge of the canopy sweeping over her shoulders and feeling a little tingly.
She looked back beyond the thin curtain of light.
The world was collapsing, Silantis’ majestic canopy was gradually bending, disintegrating, and crashing under the “weight” of the other world, the forest was burning, and the distant earth was being lifted by invisible forces, slowly rolling upwards towards the inverted desert in the sky, and the flames seemed to be spreading to that desert as well, and in the haze, it seemed that the “that world” had been destroyed by the flames. In the haze, a layer of hazy smoke is emerging on the surface of “that world”.
But all the sounds were as distant as if they came from another world, like the gentle waves of the sea coming from a closed window at dusk.
“Yeah …… it’s really quiet.”
Even Sherry knew that this quiet probably wouldn’t last long.
But at least for this second, the world that was falling apart was no longer chasing her, even if the …… thing that was blocking it all was just a nice layer of bubbles.
What would happen next?
Vanna squinted slightly in the wind.
She saw that the inverted world had gradually touched the earth beneath her feet – the first to touch was the astonishingly large “World Tree”, whose crown had now touched the surface of the earth, where the giants had disappeared, and which now became the “contact point” for the first contact between the two worlds. The first contact was with the “World Tree”, whose crown had now touched the surface of the earth, where the giant had disappeared, and which was now the “contact point” where the two worlds had first come into contact, followed by the distant mountains, where the forested mountains had touched a mountain range at the end of the desert, which was now erupting into a constant flash of light, as if a storm was brewing that could tear the world apart.
The sea of fire spread and flowed above her head, and she could see that lush world being torn apart in flames – and so was this desert beneath her.
But the “collision” of the two worlds was becoming slower and slower, as if some force was forcibly slowing down its progress, intervening in the apocalypse.
Vanna lowered her head and looked at the brilliant sphere of light in her hand – tiny flames were flowing on the surface of the sun, and the light from those flames had once shone on a glorious civilization before the Age of the Deep.
To this day, the sun still shines.
She looked up again, not far from herself.
The huge cane still lay still in the dunes, the sea of fire spreading upside down in the sky illuminating its body and head, which was as rough as a tree trunk and a block of stone, and the firelight flowing over its rocky surface, reflecting in the light the countless words that the giants had carved into it.
In a trance, Vanna seemed to read them – she looked line by line at the fine words and symbols, as if she heard the giant’s low, gentle voice still speaking in her ears.
“…… Here they learned to use fire.
“Here they discovered the secret of farming.
“Here, there was a flood – waters that roiled over the land, bringing death and panic, only to leave behind fertile soil ……
“They learned to build ships ……
“They learned to harness the power of thunder ……”
Vanna slowly made her way to the cane, lifting her head to look at the last blank space at the end of it.
It wasn’t blank there anymore.
At some point, the giant had inscribed the last line of text there – the god who recorded history, completing his last entry on the Chronicle Pillar:
“Tarekin and the Traveler have completed their last journey.”
Unusual scents and disturbing rustling sounds came from far away, and unusual heat was coursing through the air, coalescing in the invisible.
Vanna turned to look in a certain direction she perceived.
She saw the converging streams of light – amidst the fires and distortions of the two worlds colliding, errant streams of light had entered the place through some kind of “gap”, and they were gradually radiating searing heat, and converging into an ever-growing mass in the sky, not far away. Those streams of light gradually emitted scorching heat, and in the sky not far away, they converged into a fireball that was getting bigger and bigger.
The fireball began to take on a sun-like appearance, its edges shaking and splitting into gushing streams of flame, and it began to hover like the sun between the two worlds, unleashing an unsettling wave of pressure and heat – then it gradually lowered its altitude in the desert, and slowly turned its true nature towards Vanna.
Countless twisted and stacked tentacles were hidden in that glorious solar shell, and a single inhuman eyeball gazed indifferently between them at the Inquisitor standing beside the dune.
“Kneel.”
This divine child said.
