"Is what you saw in the sinkhole really like this?" Roland asked, standing up in surprise.

"Sorry..." Camilla said a little embarrassedly, "My drawing skills are only at this level."

The picture spread out on the desk was exactly what the Chief Butler had sketched based on Joan's memory, but not to mention compared to Scroll and Soraya, it was far inferior even to the level of apprentices in the art gallery – dense short lines represented grass, crooked circles were the sinkholes, a raised slope next to them was a mountain, and the wavy lines represented the sea. To outsiders, it looked no different from stick figures, and it was impossible to use it as a reference.

But Roland was different.

He had seen the legendary Bottomless Land in his dreams.

That was also the "end" of the Battle of Divine Will, the channel for the ascension of the victorious race. Although it was eventually swallowed by tsunamis and volcanoes, and the town built on it was completely destroyed, the general terrain remained largely unchanged. For example, one side was flat and the other was raised, and the towering continent that was vaguely visible in the distance.

Before it was confirmed with his own eyes, it was always an ethereal legend. After all, the northern end of the Dawn Border stretched for thousands of kilometers, and the humans before the Union had not been able to draw a detailed map, and even its existence was questionable.

From beginning to end, only Lan had mentioned the location of the Bottomless Land.

And now, Joan's experience turned it into reality.

"No, this is enough." Roland couldn't wait to take out the large map from the bookshelf and spread it out on the floor in front of the desk, then placed the drawing in the northeast direction of the continent, "It's probably here."

"What exactly is it?" Camilla couldn't help but ask, "I don't think it's a naturally formed sinkhole."

"Why do you think so?" Roland asked in return.

"It's obvious," she said, crossing her arms, "How can a sinkhole be so regular? And that strange seabed, the land and sea in the sky, it all looks weird."

Roland pondered for a moment, "I think there is no such thing as natural in the first place."

"What... do you mean?"

"For example, the Maze Forest and grassland west of Neverwinter City may have been just a wasteland before, but some bird or beast brought the seeds here, and gradually evolved into what it is today. As long as the time is long enough, this assumption must be true, but later people think that this is the inherent appearance between heaven and earth, don't you think it's strange?"

Camilla frowned, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

That's right, Roland sighed inwardly, these principles are indeed too complicated for contemporary people, and it's normal to not understand.

"I see." Nightingale, who was chewing dried fish on the side, suddenly clapped her hands, "What you want to say is that we are no different from birds and beasts, right?"

"Is this a riddle?" The Chief Butler rubbed his forehead with a headache.

"Think about it," Nightingale pointed to the city in the night outside the window, "Birds and beasts brought seeds here, forming forests and grasslands; humans moved to the foot of the North Slope Mountain and built Neverwinter City; the essence should be the same for this world. What we call natural is just from our own point of view, even if it is changed to a flying bird, it will not think that the branch is more natural than the eaves, otherwise how would it build a nest on the latter? According to this theory, the circular sinkhole and the reverse flow of seawater are part of the natural world, just like the Maze Forest and Neverwinter City." She paused, "Maybe the moon and stars above our heads were formed in this way!"

"This..." Camilla was stunned for a moment.

Roland raised his eyebrows in surprise. She was clearly a bad student, but her thoughts were particularly sharp in some aspects... Should it be said that it was her free-spirited nature, or was it that a fool's thinking was broader?

The scene of stones constantly colliding and finally gathering into a planet appeared in his mind again.

The gods brought magic to this world.

From that moment on, the world had embarked on a completely different path.

"Let's go back to your previous question." He cleared his throat and woke Camilla, who was in a daze, "The island that Joan arrived at should be the Bottomless Land, and the black hole is the channel for the ascension of the race. When the relics of the gods are united, the road to the sky will appear, but that is definitely not true liberation, and it will not win the smile of the gods. But we still have to go there – the Bottomless Land is the closest place to the realm of the gods, and perhaps only there can we find a way to get rid of the Battle of Divine Will."

Camilla's eyes widened, as if she wanted to blurt out "Where did you learn these things from", but she finally held back.

"As for the continent suspended in the sky, I guess it's most likely the Sky-Sea Realm mentioned by the demons." Roland turned around and picked up a pen holder, placing it on the west side of the Dawn Border. "For some reason, a distorted space channel was formed at the bottom of the Shadow Sea, and the other end is connected to the Sky-Sea Realm, so Joan moved from the Shadow Islands to the other side of the sea in an instant. In fact, it's not just her, the seabed of the two places is also connected, and every once in a while, a large amount of seawater will pour into the Sky-Sea Realm from here, and fall back down again, forming the ten-thousand-zhang waterfall that Joan saw."

Camilla asked in surprise, "Is that why Thunder saw the seawater crossing the sea line and always flowing from high to low?"

"I'm afraid so." He nodded, "The seawater doesn't need to flow back, because the high and low sides are connected to each other. Similarly, the rapidly rising and falling tides have nothing to do with celestial bodies, but only depend on the frequency and number of channels opened."

"Do you mean that there is more than one sea area like the Shadow Islands?"

"If you want the entire Whirlpool Sea to rise and fall, I'm afraid one channel is far from enough. As for whether there are relics of ancient civilizations in those places, I don't know." Roland felt that the puzzle in his mind was being pieced together piece by piece, "And the stone tower ruins in the center of the Shadow Islands should be looking at the Sky-Sea Realm."

"What is the meaning of the door seen in the telescope?" Nightingale interjected.

"Perhaps only the builder knows this." He shook his head, "But we can boldly speculate that it may be a surveillance post – the ruins have been under the water for a long time, and to be honest, it is not a good observation point, so could it be that a long time ago, the terrain of the Shadow Sea was not as low as it is now, and the Sky-Sea Realm was not so high? Until the Battle of Divine Will changed everything, both the monitor and the monitored no longer exist, only the magic-guided telescope is still staring at the original goal, and has not changed until now."

"Forgive me for speaking frankly, but this is too bizarre!" Camilla gasped, "Changing the height of two landmasses? Do you know how much impact this would have on the entire sea area?"

"It can probably kill all land creatures." Roland couldn't help but think of the waves that were higher than the mountains, "Perhaps that was the original intention of the gods... Of course, these are all my guesses and cannot be regarded as facts." He suppressed his distracting thoughts and changed the subject, "Finally, there is the black continent located in the northeast of the Dawn Border. Joan saw countless sea monsters launching attacks on it. Combining the information we have obtained, it should be the territory of the demons."

He walked to the top of the map and wrote the name mentioned by Vakiris on the carpet with charcoal.

"Black Stone Domain."
