Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day

“My name is Jiuming, born in the deep sea seabed of the Northern Mariana Islands. I am fourteen years old this year, and I am a true dragon.”
“Gender: Dragon, Orientation: Dragon, Hobby: Collecting all kinds of treasures and bloodlines related to dragons, Occupation: Dragon King of the South Sea.”
“My current goal is to cultivate into an Earth Immortal. Although I am only a mere Xiantian (pre-celestial) True Dragon now, I have a dream. That is, in the future, I will deduce the Ming Xing Hualong Jue (溟涬化龙决, Ming Xing Dragon Transformation Art) left by my master, the Tianchi (天池, Heavenly Pool) Dragon King, to the Heavenly Immortal realm and become a true Heavenly Dragon Dragon God!”
“Originally, my life was peaceful and boring. Every day, I would just eat, drink, and wait to die in the sea, while cultivating and shooting advertisements for publicity. It was really empty and boring, which was annoying. So, one day, when a mysterious space sent me an invitation, I did not hesitate to accept it, looking forward to living in an interesting world in the future.”
“And now, I have encountered a big problem.”
“That is, the days now may be a little too interesting.”
——The Pioneer Space, Independent Trading World · Utopia——
The Utopian world is a small Gaia world without distinct seasons. It is round above and square below, with a perpetually suitable temperature, and it will make adaptive changes to all species. Ninety-nine percent of the creatures in the multiverse can live comfortably in such a world.
Today, the Utopian world is sunny, like a clear summer day, and a harmonious breeze is blowing in the large Adventurers' Central Trading Post located in the coastal area, which is quite refreshing.
The First Central Trading Post is a peaceful-looking coastal town. It is bustling with activity, with dozens or hundreds of completely different races coming and going, communicating with each other. Thousands of adventurers gather here, just like a real town.
Although there are other trading posts in the Utopian world, the First Trading Post, as the earliest established and the area with the most complete facilities, is still the first choice for many new and old explorers to trade wonders and exchange information.
Da da, light footsteps sounded.
Jiuming, in human form, wore simple open-toed straw sandals and a loose white robe. The dragon-human youth with delicate features and a gorgeous gold-crafted ornament on his forehead, his deep blue hair tied up with gold ornaments, hung down behind his shoulders, exuding a slightly moist water-based spiritual light.
Having come to the independent trading world more than once, Jiuming walked naturally on the stone road, his blue dragon eyes curiously scanning the various adventurers passing by. At this time, he was dressed in ancient Egyptian clothing, looking less like a divine dragon from Zheng country and more like an Egyptian priest.
In fact, in the last exploration world, a world called [Duel King], he was really hired by the Pharaoh of that world as a foreign aid to fight against the other evil priests who intended to launch a rebellion and seize the 'power of God'. In the end, he was given the name of High Priest.
The [Duel King] world is very interesting. Its power system is inclined to the mind. Everyone's mind can breed a powerful 'spirit', which turns into a Mind Card, and then they rely on these Mind Cards to fight each other in dark duels.
This is a power system that is very worth digging into. The power of the mind ignores the bloodline of the body - at least Jiuming discovered that the Royal Mind Cards inherited by the Pharaoh actually had the manifestation of the main god-level dragon powers of 'Sun Winged God Dragon' and 'Nether Sky Dragon'.
This immediately made him, who loved dragons, quite moved, so under the guidance of the Pharaoh, he awakened his own Mind Card.
However, as a true dragon, when he dug into his true inner self and manifested a Mind Card, it was not a dragon, but...
Sea Abyss Dragon Vein Giant Worm!
[Sea Abyss Dragon Vein Giant Worm]
[Normal Monster]
[Race: Dragon]
[Attribute: Water]
[Star Level: 6]
[Attack Power 2400]
[Defense Power 1900]
[As long as this card exists on the field face-up, when a magic · trap · monster effect that would destroy or banish a card on the field is activated, you can banish one water-attribute monster card on the field to negate that activation and destroy it]
[As a giant beast close to a dragon, the sea abyss giant worm imposes its might on all things in the sea]
A terrifying sea beast with sharp thorns all over its body appeared in the sea abyss.
"Why do you say I'm a giant worm!? At least... at least it should be a giant sea cucumber!"
This time, the awakening of the Mind Card did greatly hit Jiuming, but after all, the young man had an active mind - thinking carefully, the Dragon Vein Giant Worm was also a Dragon Vein, and it was also long, so naturally it was a dragon.
How could a true dragon be such an inconvenient thing? As long as you understand this, all worries will disappear immediately, and it doesn't matter at all.
By the way, it is worth mentioning that there are very many dragons in the [Duel King] world.
Very, very, very many.
That world is simply a dragon cancer world. No matter where, no matter what kind of duelist, they will basically bring a few Mind Cards related to dragons - even if some Mind Cards represent monster races that are not dragons, their forms are very much like dragons.
And according to the strongest true dragon of Zheng country, the current Zhuzhou (烛昼, Torch Dragon) who was identified by the Pioneer Space as not a dragon, the overlord Su Zhou, as long as it looks like a dragon, then it is a dragon.
They are all dragons.
The battles in the [Duel King] world were actually quite difficult. Whether it was repelling the rebellious priests who held the Seven Divine Artifacts or eliminating the leader of the heretics who intended to summon the evil god, they all made Jiuming exhausted. What's more, the main plot of this world was in the desert, which almost turned the water-based true dragon into a dried dragon after continuous battles.
But because of this, the current Jiuming has also found his true path to the Ruling Order.
That is to use the mined Mind Power to strengthen the body in turn, so that his own body gradually tends to spiritualization, holding various damage reductions, and also has the powerful destructive power of matter - in addition, such a body can continue to improve the effect of water assistance power by absorbing water-based wonders.
As a young true dragon who is not yet fifteen years old, and has not exceeded seventeen years old even counting the time in various plot worlds, he has touched the edge of the Ruling Order in such a short time. In addition to his own talent and the strong support of his power behind him, the help of the Pioneer Space is absolutely indispensable.
After assisting the Pharaoh in arduously sweeping away all the rebels and heretics, Jiuming obtained the biggest harvest of this exploration from the other party - the Millennium Necklace, one of the 'Seven Divine Artifacts'.
This necklace holds a certain power to predict the future. In the world of Duel King, it can even predict the historical shadows thousands of years later. In other worlds, although the effect is greatly weakened, it can greatly enhance Jiuming's spiritual level, so that he can almost detect any prying and malice against him in advance. Therefore, Jiuming wears this necklace almost all the time.
The First Central Trading Post.
After entering the small town, what appeared in front of Jiuming were explorers of all kinds of completely different races. Among them were traditional kinds of goblins and demons, elves and dwarves, as well as humans, worm people, fairies, demons, and a few elemental lifeforms.
All life languages are automatically interconnected here. Whether it is light waves, sound waves, electromagnetic signals, pheromones, robes, or magic fluctuations, they are all treated equally. Any struggle is prohibited in the Utopian world, but contracts can be signed here to resolve disputes outside.
Everyone is an explorer of the Pioneer Space. All kinds of people and races communicate with each other and exchange the treasures and secrets they have obtained in various worlds, so that they can grow quickly.
And Jiuming is not ordinary.
In addition to letting himself grow quickly, the true dragon youth has another mission.
That is, to help Zheng country exchange some useful and peculiar materials through the exchange system and market in the Pioneer Space.
After full discussion by the higher-ups, during the ten days of returning to Earth, Jiuming successfully passed the central meeting and became an 'Imperial Envoy', a profession that the central body possessed in ancient times.
While taking this salary, the Earth's higher-ups also gave Jiuming many treasures and wonders, so that he could exchange a batch of materials on the list in the market of the Pioneer Space.
These materials are now difficult to find on Earth, but they may not be so in other worlds.
This time, Jiuming came to Utopia, this independent trading world, not only to find some water-based spiritual objects he needed, but also to complete the list of Zheng country.
"Although I have been here once before, it is really amazing - there is really everything in the Pioneer Space!"
Jiuming, with a curious face, looked around the trading post. The dazzling array of various wonders and the many personal vendors and passing customers, and then sighed: "God, there are even ant-man liches!"
Not far from the true dragon youth, an ant-man lich who was rubbing his head was walking slowly in the crowd.
His whole body was surrounded by elemental fire, and the soul light flickered with a cold color, looking unapproachable. He seemed very tired of this crowded environment, but he had to come in order to trade.
The lich seemed to notice Jiuming's gaze, and slowly raised his head to look at Jiuming.
Immediately, after the cold, emotionless gaze met Jiuming's curious gaze, the ant-man lich suddenly felt a chill - the ant-man lich muttered 'why is it a dragon again' and then hurriedly withdrew his gaze and turned to disappear into the crowd.
"Huh, what exactly is going on with that guy?"
Noticing the other party's cold, defensive, and even fearful gaze, Jiuming, who thought he would be the first to back down, was immediately confused: "He seems to have the strength of a human immortal, the peak of the Ruling Order. Why does he look like he is afraid of me, who is only at the peak of the Extraordinary Order?"
Shaking his head in confusion, Jiuming didn't know the specific situation and could only continue to move forward and wander around the trading post.
The First Central Trading Post was divided into several areas by explorers in different fields, and occupied by explorers in different fields and levels. On both sides of the avenue were all kinds of private stalls.
Some stalls were full of cold light flashing, sharp-edged peerless divine weapons; some stalls were filled with dense, extremely precious kinds of divine beast bloodlines; some stalls were all kinds of smooth and simple, mechanical weapons and equipment containing extremely strong technological sense; and most stalls would display all kinds of books and manuals that were either handwritten or printed.
There was even a stall that simply sold all kinds of books from many worlds in the multiverse. The stall owner after that stall was a polite human male mage. He had a businesslike smile on his face, and his expression never changed, making it impossible to tell whether he was a clone or the real body for a while.
The explorers coming and going to these stalls were also full of all kinds of strange shapes and costumes: raccoon people wearing full-coverage exoskeleton armor, glowing iron balls floating in the air, constantly rotating, emitting electrical noises, and angels with halos on their heads, floating around.
Jiuming even saw a dragon-horned man who was probably also of the true dragon bloodline, wearing a classical robe, was bargaining with a slender elf, and in front of this elf's stall, pure spiritual light was rotating, transforming into various colors, showing the words 'Clearance Sale' 'Trying to break through the peak of the Ruling Order before clearing the inventory' 'No malicious bargaining' 'Specializing in bargaining for 415 years' and so on...
"It's not like I haven't been to the corresponding world. Of course I know that there are two types of Judgment Dragon bloodlines! One is the 'Judgment Form' with wings, and the other is the 'Adjudication Form' without wings... This is a world of difference!"
"They are all the same dragon, there is no difference. Anyway, you are just borrowing the bloodline to cultivate, who cares whether you have wings or not!"
"This place is really as lively as ever."
Jiuming walked through these peculiar but not chaotic stalls and avenues, occasionally passing by all kinds of dressed-up people. In this process, he bought some things in bits and pieces. Most of them were water-based comprehension needed for his future advancement. The precious items on the list were not even available in the trading market. I am afraid that he can only directly exchange them for exploration points in the Pioneer Space, instead of bartering with the warehouse given by Zheng country.
Jiuming didn't care about this. Anyway, he had already posted a task on the [Explorer Bulletin Board]. If he couldn't find it himself, others would take the initiative to come to him and bring him the target.
The relationship between explorers is not tense. Even if multiple explorers come to the same world, there will be no mandatory conflicts. The tasks that will inevitably lead to war are at most different exploration directions. Most of the time, they need to cooperate with each other to deal with those terrifying and incredible monster Bosses in each world. Therefore, the sense of competition in the entire Pioneer Space is not so strong. Instead, the atmosphere of mutual help is greater.
The Explorer Bulletin Board is the embodiment of this idea of mutual help and sympathy. In addition to various task commissions, it also contains various world intelligence worth noting that is specially disclosed to remind all explorers, as well as some powerful world Bosses worth guarding against.
"It's almost time to go and take a look - to be honest, if someone hadn't posted the general information of the Duel King world in the announcement area last time, I might have been completely confused."
Thinking like this, Jiuming sensed the storage ring on his wrist and confirmed that he had bought almost everything. Then he nodded and set off to the bulletin board.
——The First Central Trading Post - Announcement Area——
The announcement area is a square covered with all kinds of large-screen bulletin boards such as various electronic screens, projection screens, magic light screens, and Taoist water screens. There is less traffic here than in the trading area, but the strength is significantly stronger.
The strength of most explorers is actually not strong. The Pioneer Space pursues exploration and will not arrange tasks that are bound to die. Although strength is important, it is generally kept in a situation where it is enough. Most explorers do not have any pursuit of strength. Unless they encounter a situation where they cannot continue to explore without corresponding strength, they basically do not have a strong desire to cultivate, that is, the level of ordinary people.
After all, there are so many worlds in the multiverse. There are places where you only need various detective methods to solve puzzles. Even adventures and explorations related to various terrifying ancient gods do not necessarily require kicking the door to clear the level. On the contrary, kicking the door will reduce the chance of clearing the level.
Jiuming's strength at the peak of the Extraordinary Order is not bad compared to the average strength of explorers, but in the announcement area, it seems ordinary and even inferior.
You can see that under various light screens, there are batches of explorers holding together and exchanging information and fiercely discussing some issues.
Most of the worlds opened by the Pioneer Space are not the same, but there are some specific worlds with obviously similar developments. These specific worlds hide various very mysterious ancient legends and secrets. Their exploration is very difficult to increase, and seemingly ordinary plots hide deeper meanings. If you are not careful, you will induce all kinds of specific Bosses that are ridiculously strong or god-like developments, forcing many explorers to leave with regret.
The [Great World of Investiture of the Gods] and the [Duel King] world that Jiuming once went to are such specific worlds. Although the former's world view only shows a corner of Chentang Pass, the vastness of the entire world behind it, as well as the deep conspiracy behind it, I am afraid that reaching the overlord can only be considered to have the qualification to join it.
Although the Duel King world looks ordinary and there is nothing special about it, it is just using mental cards to duel and play cards, Jiuming's keen intuition smells the wrong taste - that world has main god-level divine dragons, extremely powerful evil gods, and all kinds of subsidiary worlds belonging to spirits and spirits... He has clearly helped Pharaoh defeat the rebels, but the world's exploration is stuck at a low limit and has not been able to increase. This obviously means that there are more elements in this world that have not yet been developed in the future. Everything now is just the tip of the iceberg.
Therefore, in order to help each other and also to exchange information with each other, explore these specific big worlds, explorers will gather together to publicly exchange information and even temporarily form strategy teams to solve and crack specific worlds.
The Pioneer Space naturally supports this behavior, so those explorers who are willing to disclose world information and share intelligence can even get extra exploration point rewards.
Now, in the central square of the announcement area, a hellfire demon with a loud voice is announcing with a succubus the exploration results of their team [Abyssal Surfacers] recently, as well as corresponding world tips and evaluations.
The Abyssal Surfacers are considered to be a relatively veteran adventurer team in the entire Pioneer Space. All the members are abyssal demons, but their alignments are all surprisingly Lawful Neutral, or even Lawful Good. They are all abnormal guys who cannot tolerate why demons can only stay in the abyss hell. Their greatest wish in this life is to go to the main material world or the heavenly realm for a vacation.
Announcements like this large team are generally to disclose their exploration results in various worlds, such as discovering novel monsters, opening up new mission lines in specific worlds, finding hidden characters, and greatly increasing exploration... These messages are what explorers like most.
[According to the results of our team members' exploration in multiple different parallel worlds, we have found that in the world of Dark Wolf · Undead Calamity, as long as the exploration progress is maintained at a certain frequency and the Demonic Dynasty is not given too much pressure, then it is very likely that after defeating the Extraordinary Order Demonic Emperor, you will encounter an Extraordinary High-Order Lightning Fairy, which can increase an additional 2% of exploration.]
[It is worth noting that this Lightning Fairy does not need to fight. As long as you try to survive its first wave of attacks, it will quickly give up the pursuit and then leave on its own to practice in the ionosphere. After more than ten days, it will break through to the Ruling Order and leave the local planet to go to outer space.]
[All of this is limited to explorers with strength between the Awakening Peak and the Extraordinary Early-Order to trigger. If the strength is higher than the Extraordinary Middle-Order, the Divine Wood Banyan Undead Tree will awaken, and the Demonic Emperor's strength will skyrocket to the Extraordinary High-Order or even the Ruling Order, and the Lightning Fairy's strength will also rise accordingly, making it extremely difficult to pass normally.]
[But in that case, a Divine Dragon Zhuzhou will appear around the Kunlun Secret Realm. This Divine Dragon, born with another Divine Wood, will be born because of the awakening of the Banyan Undead Tree. If you have its help, the difficulty can be greatly reduced.]
Recently, the Abyssal Surfacers have been focusing on the strategy of specific [Divine Wood System] worlds. The so-called [Divine Wood System], as the name implies, is a series of worlds that focus on all kinds of Divine Woods. Undead Calamity is just a relatively popular point among them. There are also worlds about the Tree of Wisdom [Eden Light], and the Tree of Continuing the Past [Conquering Heaven Divine Wood], etc., which are considered relatively popular specific world groups.
On the stage, the Abyssal Demon's speech was fiery, and the explorers around the square also discussed it. Just after the Fire Demon used a rumbling thunderous voice to say the name related to 'Zhuzhou', the discussion among the crowd below the square immediately became intense.
"There is also a Zhuzhou in the world of Undead Calamity? This Divine Dragon is quite rare in other worlds, but it appears unusually frequently in specific worlds..."
"What, you also encountered Zhuzhou? I also encountered it! Which world did you encounter it in?"
"Just that world of the 'Dragon Snake System', 'Holy Grail War', the local lord summoned Zhuzhou, that was really impressive, I have never seen a dragon that can escape with its head cut off, leaving its body to self-destruct, directly blowing me out of the game..."
"Indeed, Zhuzhou's frequency of appearance in specific worlds is particularly high, and they are all particularly random. You see that the plot has nothing to do with it at all, but suddenly it will pop up and give you a big scare..."
"This guy is the most terrifying hidden Boss in the space. He ranks at least in the top ten! I'm really speechless, have you ever seen a Divine Dragon that can take off its wings and use them as weapons? By the way, is he really a dragon?"
"Here, his legend is the guardian of Qingqiu, and he didn't say he was a dragon."
"Here, he is the Divine Wood-Cutting Dragon, which is relatively clear."
"Here, he is the Dragon of Judgment and Adjudication, which should indeed be a dragon."
"Here, he is the Rocket Pioneer, and the creator of staged rockets."
"?"
"?"
"?"
——What the hell is that?
The originally heated discussion suddenly stopped because of the last inexplicable answer. Everyone looked confused and seemed at a loss.
"That's right, that's it!"
On the contrary, Jiuming, who often saw Su Zhou disassembling his wings and using the Lanjia (岚甲, Storm Armor) rocket to travel, nodded with emotion: "This is indeed the real Zhuzhou."
"Moreover, it turns out that there are legends of Zhuzhou circulating in so many worlds..."
Although the discussion was only a flash in the pan, after all, most explorers had not gone to the world with Zhuzhou for exploration, but, you must know, this is the Pioneer Space that connects the entire multiverse! Even if only a part of the explorers know it, it also represents that its popularity is at the multiverse level.
At first, it was just emotion, just envy.
But in the end, when the young true dragon raised his head and looked at the distant and endless sky, a raging ambition ignited in his eyes.
"Jiuming..."
"One day, I will also let my name spread throughout the heavens!"
Explore farther, go to higher places, get stronger power, and then repeat the cycle again and again.
This is both pioneering and reincarnation.
And even more... innovation.
The story belonging to the young true dragon has just begun to take off.
The wonderful adventure of traveling through the multiverse, the endless novel journey, is now about to begin.
At the same time, in the Pioneer Space, in a certain private space.
Ansett, with a trace of annoyance and uneasiness, returned to his private space. The ant-man lich sat on his elemental throne made of five-colored gems, and he let out a long sigh.
"What's wrong today? Why is it that just going out and encountering a small dragon of the Extraordinary Order made me so afraid..."
"Am I suffering from PTSD from being beaten by the Lord of Judgment..."
Ansett's main purpose of going to the Central Trading Post this time was to find special ritual materials that would allow him to advance to the Overlord. Since the Four Elements Heart, the top-level material, is not easy to find, but the next-level perfect element gems are not so rare.
He has already found several powerful magic gems that meet the requirements and bought them. The advancement requirements are considered to be half completed, but the liquid funds have been almost exhausted. The rest are emergency funds that cannot be used.
But, even if the situation is still considered smooth, Ansett still has a strange irritability in his heart.
What exactly is the reason?
Is it because of the failure of the plan in the mother world?
No, definitely not. If Ansett was a guy who would be so unforgettable about a failed plan, then how could he have grown step by step from an ordinary ant-man to the current great elemental magician and become the current demigod lich?
So why?
Was he really so frightened by the Lord of Judgment's overpoweringly strong strength that he suffered psychological trauma?
That's not it either. Who hasn't encountered a few ridiculously strong hidden Bosses in so many years of explorer career? Who hasn't encountered a few hidden characters who can hang up hidden Bosses and beat them? The depth of the water in his mother world should have been seen from the fact that he has explored it for seventeen years and the exploration is still 'Medium'. He just didn't expect that the hidden Boss would be the Lord of Judgment.
"...Forget it, after a while, I will write down the information of my hometown and post it in the announcement area..."
Sighing for a long time, Ansett's mind always inexplicably restless, and the crowd of people coming and going in the trading post and the many adventurers who have mostly formed exploration teams in the announcement area appeared in his mind again, and he couldn't help but feel another burst of depression.
——I am, after all, still a bit socially awkward...
He thought with both distress and unwillingness, the soul fire in the skull of the lich sitting on the throne flickered, releasing a light that was uncertain in brightness.
But, how could he not be afraid?
"After all, everyone dies so quickly..."
Magic vibrated around, making a sound almost like a sigh. Ansett the ant-man took out a photography crystal from his storage ring.
That was many years ago, the last photography crystal he took with his family when he first returned from the Pioneer Space.
Father, mother, brother, sister, younger brother, younger sister... and more and more relatives. In this crystal, there are nearly a hundred ant-men with similar appearances taking a group photo. If it weren't for the Wind Folk, they would probably have face blindness in an instant.
Now, everyone in this photo has died.
"The lifespan of ant-men is generally only fifteen years. A longer one can reach twenty years. Among the Wind Folk, they are also considered to be one of the lower lifespans."
"An ordinary long-distance adventure for the Fire Folk takes five or six years, which is a dozenth of their lifespan, but it is a third of the ant-men's lifespan."
"The ant-men's time is always very tight. They don't need sleep. They only need a short rest to continue working continuously."
Staring at the photography crystal in his hand, Ansett murmured to himself: "And my sense of time is problematic - my sense of time is very slow, similar to that of the Fire Folk, not at all the rhythm of the ant-men."
"I spent a few years getting to know you."
"I spent seven or eight years getting close to you."
"I spent nearly ten years, from birth to ten years old, and finally had family with you - and then you aged, died, and turned into dust."
"Before you died, you seemed to be very familiar with me, very close to me, and thought I was your good son, good younger brother, good older brother, and the best friend... You confided your dreams to me, confided what you had not finished, and confided the heaven you imagined..."
"But... I don't know you at all! How can you deeply understand a person in just a few years, less than ten years? How can you breed the feeling of a best friend?!"
I don't understand at all... Ten years old for the Fire Folk is just a child, but ten years old for the Wind Folk is already middle-aged or even old age, it is an incomparably long life.
For Ansett, it takes a few years to build what can be called a deep friendship with people. This is not long, but for the Wind Folk, people like him are really a bit timid, not decisive enough, difficult to approach, resistant to communication, and appear extremely lonely.
But even so, it does not affect the enthusiastic Wind Folk from regarding the 'socially awkward' Ansett as a friend, taking him to work together, communicate together, and play together.
Then, regard him as a best friend, and then die.
Reincarnation.
Like plants, they live, and like plants, they die. A new batch of Wind Folk emerge, and among the chaos, only Ansett, who has obtained longevity, stands blankly on the land of his hometown, watching his former childhood home become someone else's home, watching the family of his former friends differentiate and split, turning into several branches.
Everything is different, and it only takes an insignificant amount of time.
Does he really understand the Wind Folk? Does he understand his family, his friends, his race?
He doesn't understand any of them.
Whether it is their thoughts, their dreams, or their will, they are all like this.
Stroking the photography crystal in his hand, this is probably the last crystal in the entire multiverse with photos of those ordinary Wind Folk. Ansett's eyes are full of melancholy.
"You, you are just, day after day, being farmers, day after day, repeating the same work, day after day, staying in your hometown, earning salaries to support your family and children, and then just like that, you die 'empty', without leaving anything behind, without seeing anything."
——I want to see the sea, with your mother and you kid. It's a pity that I'm too busy with work. It seems that there is no time to go. Ansett, I'm afraid only you will go in the future.
——What is it like to climb a mountain? I heard that climbing to a high place and looking at the people below, they will be very small... Brother, is this true?
——Ansett, you have been to many places, right? Can you tell me what the desert looks like, what the grassland looks like, and what the forest looks like?
——Ansett, you seem to live for a long time, like those priests... Are you a priest? Can you tell me what the Central Great Temple of Our Lord looks like?
Many wishes, many people's dreams, and the little regrets left by many people are remembered by the relatively long-lived.
And these Wind Folk who stay in place and have never been to the distance in their lives, their dreams are so, so... so...
Shining with light.
For the ant-man explorer, the seventeen years in the Pioneer Space are already an incomparably long time for the Tartarus world.
Everything has long since dissipated. The so-called mother world has nothing to do with him at all.
That is already a strange world, with no other special features other than the name of hometown.
"The life of the Wind Folk is already rich enough. You don't need to leave that small ant-man nest. You can spend your whole life in just one city, fulfilling and complete. The Wind Lord's spiritual link allows you to sense each other's feelings. You can understand each other and get friendship in just a few minutes."
"But for me, what is the difference between such a life and closing my eyes and waiting to die?"
"I don't understand why the Wind Folk need to live like this. Why can everyone only do one job that is destined to be good?"
"The world is so vast, and the multiverse is so vast. Why can the ant-men only be farmers? And it is generation after generation, forever and ever?"
"Why? What is the meaning of such a world? What is the meaning of such order?!"
"Unwilling... really unwilling..."
The almost immortal lich finally took back the photo of his long-dead relatives into his arms.
He murmured to the empty private space: "If I can become the strongest person in the mother world, become a true god, I can turn that world into my exclusive world and transform the order."
"In that case, I can also select some Wind Folk to join my team... They are no longer ants that live and die like plants, but real partners who can pour emotions to communicate with."
"This time, letting those pirates become gods was just to get the Four Elements Heart, but it still didn't succeed... Losing this path to the Overlord, how can I become an Overlord? How can I become a god?"
"Judgment Dragon..."
So powerful, it is the Overlord who created the order of that world.
"I won't give up."
Suddenly, Ansett raised his head. He stood up from the throne and walked out of his private space.
The ant-man lich looked up at the top of the Pioneer Space, the lines that were releasing dazzling light towards the endless distance of the multiverse, and roared loudly: "I won't give up!"
At this moment, he finally understood why he felt annoyed.
Because, before this, he chose to give up because of fear, fearing the powerful power of the Lord of Judgment.
Just because of the power of the Lord of Judgment, in the moment of returning, he actually temporarily gave up the dream of returning to the mother world and transforming the strange world order.
But not now.
——Go to a higher place, set foot on a farther place, become more powerful.
This is the belief of the pioneer.
Finally, Ansett understood the meaning of this belief... Sometimes, it is not to say what you want to do, you can do it. If you don't have the powerful power, no matter what kind of dream, you can't realize it.
The soul light in Ansett's body is burning fiercely. He resolutely made up his mind.
"No matter what means, one day, I will become stronger, and then go back and pioneer that world!"
"In order to allow everyone, no matter how long their lives are, no matter what their origins are, in order to allow everyone to explore the ends of mountains and seas, in order to allow everyone to see the other side of the sky and the stars, I will never give up!"
——Tomorrow must become stronger than today, and the future must become better than now.
The blue-purple fire is gently burning in the depths of the ant-man lich's soul fire.
"Eh."
At this moment, Earth.
Su Zhou, who had just returned to his home, suddenly sensed a throbbing in his heart, causing him to be slightly stunned.
Then, he smiled: "Unexpectedly, that lich has a very firm will... Sure enough, everyone has their own persistence. It's not easy to influence him like this.
"However, affirming one's own goal and making one's own ambition is also a kind of innovation... I have plenty of time to wait."
Earth, May 14, 2018.
One month after Su Zhou disappeared mysteriously again, or rather mysteriously went into seclusion.
The whole world, the world has undergone all kinds of new changes again.
[Su Zhou, you have disappeared again... This time, are you still going to say it's a mysterious immortal secret realm?]
Picking up the phone and dialing a number, Su Zhou soon heard Yan Sheng's extremely plain voice without any emotional color: [We won't care about you, but say hello in advance before you leave.]
"It's my fault."
Crisply admitting his mistake, even Yan Sheng, who Su Zhou would have casually fooled with immortal ruins in the past, was slightly stunned.
At this moment, Su Zhou said with a smile: "Also, Yan Sheng, do you have time? Do the other holy seats have time?"
"Thinking about it carefully, it's time for me to come clean with everyone."
