…
Beyond the binary.
In the boundless starry sky.
The dark and frozen world suddenly began to ripple with ink-like ripples.
Not long.
A little spark can start a prairie fire.
These sparks come together.
Much brighter than the stars in the sky.
In this dark corner where the sunlight cannot reach.
It looks so transparent and bright!
Slowly.
The 'sparks' floated upward along a contour that looked like a vertical mountain range in the starry sky.
If your eyesight is good enough.
It can penetrate the obstruction of the starry sky medium.
See the solemn and majestic floating cities behind "Spark"!
One hundred and seventy-eight sparks.
One hundred and seventy-eight floating cities.
The Far North.
The accumulation of hundreds of years of space observatory.
It’s all here!
Under the decision of Glenn, the Grand Elder of the Council.
The Mayfly Project is officially launched.
The Cosmic Observatory united with Drovas.
Today, we will gather the power of 178 floating cities, plus Turing's Drovas and Corvas starships.
This will create an "updraft" strong enough to cross the star trails!
final.
Break through the gravity of star tracks.
Cross the fourth barrier.
Towards a higher, freer, safer and more powerful star track!
That's their plan.
They took advantage of the chaos between the two stars and the fact that no one was paying attention.
Quietly heading towards the cosmic ladder that was neither far nor near from the binary stars.
Its purpose.
Just to catch someone off guard!
This is to ensure that even if Roger and others discover their intentions, it will be difficult to stop them!
…
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The beautiful bell sound, symbolizing the start of a long voyage, came from the top of Hilbore Tower in Floating City No. 1.
Glenn was floating alone at the highest point.
He looked down.
Hundreds of sparks under your feet changed their shapes.
He spread his hands.
The arcane construct tracking his movements within the floating city sprang into action.
With the help of the "amplification matrix".
Glenn makes every adjustment to the virtual sandbox in front of him.
They can all form substantial fine-tuning of the floating group!
Although he is a mage.
But Glenn's hands were extremely fast.
Accompanied by the flashes of welcome.
The translucent silver-white sand table on his chest was constantly changing its shape.
After a few seconds.
The shape most suitable for climbing the "cosmic ladder" has been formed!
“It’s time!”
Glenn announced excitedly:
"Open the "ascending channel"!"
"We can try to light a fire!"
At that time.
Cheers were heard from all the floating cities.
The mages who work for the Cosmic Observatory feel joy from the bottom of their hearts.
For today's mission.
They have worked so hard for too long.
In those difficult nights.
They also doubted themselves.
Doubt whether the mission of the cosmic observatory is really meaningful?
Or maybe.
Is it possible for them as mortals to achieve it?
But with the passage of time.
The will of most mages is becoming more and more determined.
Because on this planet—
Disaster is approaching!
Evil continues to grow!
The chaos is even more difficult to quell!
They see no hope of ending it all.
so.
The mission of the cosmic observatory has become their more firm belief——
That is to survive!
Carrying the expectations and will of other people on Quinan Star.
Live better.
To achieve this goal.
They must get out of this damn star track!
Just a better planet.
Only suitable for human survival.
They had to abandon their homeland.
And make a complete break with other people on Quinan Star!
After this time.
They will rise into the free and beautiful starry sky.
As for those poor creatures who remained in their homeland.
When they are in a higher star orbit, they may cast a little sympathetic glance at them.
They don't even mind lending a helping hand when they can.
But more substantive action.
I'm afraid they can't do anything about it.
after all.
The environment of those two planets has completely rotted away.
Rotten things.
Just give up.
This is common knowledge among the mages in the cosmic observatory.
…
Under Glenn's command.
The ceremony began with the collective chanting of more than 3,000 extraordinary wizards.
Each floating city equipped by the "Mayfly Project" is equipped with an "arcane amplification device".
They can push the power of this collective spell to the extreme.
One and a half minutes later.
A high-speed rotating cyclone appeared in the sky above all the floating cities.
Wherever the cyclone goes.
The solid and dark medium of the starry sky was swept away.
Gradually.
These cyclones form a combined upward force.
Glenn, who was at the highest point, felt it most clearly.
Even though I'm trying my best to suppress it.
But he could still feel the lifting force that was constantly pushing him upwards!
That is a sign of victory!
“Success!”
Endless joy welled up in my heart.
But Glenn didn't relax at all.
He knew that it was this time.
The more careful and vigilant you should be.
After all, it has come to this point.
That "Twin Star Guardian" should be here by now, right?
Will he feel embarrassed?
If it is forcibly blocked.
Then the "updraft" that has formed will cause great damage to the fragile binary star system.
This could endanger the inhabitants of the binary planets.
If it is not stopped.
That was exactly what Glenn wanted.
In that case.
They will be able to successfully complete their mission!
According to Glenn's calculations.
There is a high probability that Roger will not stop himself.
Because he is the guardian of the binary stars.
The double star is his weak spot.
Even though the "Mayfly Project" caused great damage to the binary stars.
He didn't dare to make a mistake in this decision!
…
"He must be coming!"
"He's making a decision!"
Feeling the increasingly fierce impact force beneath me.
Look up at the starry sky.
The ascending channel to higher star orbits has also been opened.
You are ready to go!
Just waiting for Glenn's spell mark!
But Glenn chose not to light the fire.
His heart was pounding as he looked into the depths of the boundless starry sky.
Suddenly he shouted loudly:
"Master Guardian!"
"You'll let us go, right?"
Glenn's voice struggled to travel through the starry sky.
One minute later.
He got a very lazy response:
"Go away."
…
It's Roger's voice!
…
The words are very vulgar!
…
Although it has been deliberately modified, the voice still sounds very tired!
…
The above three points are what Glenn analyzed the moment he heard the words "Go away!"
"He is just as indecisive as I expected!"
"Between long pain and short pain..."
“He chose the former!”
Glenn was delighted.
He felt that he had analyzed Roger's every move accurately!
There is only one thing missing -
Roger didn't even come near the cosmic ladder!
He seems to be still in Quinan!
This shows that he doesn't care at all about the Space Observatory and Turing's escape together!
…
"Doesn't he know the seriousness of this matter?"
"No! He knows!"
"Otherwise, his tone wouldn't be so exhausted - that's probably the state he would have after going through countless psychological struggles! So, he was forced to let us go..."
Think of this.
Glenn smiled contentedly.
These days, the slightly unbalanced mentality caused by watching Roger killing everyone has returned.
Next second.
He shouted loudly:
"In that case, let's go!"
"We are the vanguard of the binary stars . Let us go and see what the stars look like for the creatures above this starry sky!"
"Goodbye, young guardian. I hope we can meet again among the stars one day..."
Said a few polite words.
Glenn swung his right hand downward sharply.
In an instant.
The countless sparks above the floating city seemed to have turned into suns!
A light thousands of times more intense than before pierced out.
The edge of the cosmic ladder.
The outline of the 'vertical mountain range' became a clear image!
That is...
A tree!
A giant cosmic tree that spans the star tracks of the nine planets!
It should have been lush and leafy.
But now only withered trunks and branches remain.
On the tallest invisible branch.
Hanging on!
Below this are other planets.
And here comes Mistra and Quinan.
Where the tree roots should have been, there was only nothingness.
Only a few broken branches are entangled in the cosmic star field surrounding the binary stars.
This can barely be considered as proof that the binary star belongs to the nine planets!
…
"Light it up!"
Glenn said.
So the next second.
All floating cities float up collectively.
And those sparks fell on the remaining branches of the iron-like giant cosmic tree.
At the beginning.
The sparks could not ignite the remains of the giant tree.
But the cosmic observatory was extremely well prepared.
More and more 'little suns' hit the branches of the iron tree.
Gradually.
Mars begins to spread.
Flames began to break out.
An unprecedented upward force.
Erupting from the bottom of the floating city cluster!
boom!
When the first explosion occurred.
All the floating cities rushed upwards hundreds of meters!
Immediately following.
That’s the second time!
The third time!
A very rhythmic burst.
Cooperate with the power of rising air currents.
Eventually all the floating cities were pushed to the heights of the star tracks!
…
Just as the remaining branches of the giant cosmic tree were ignited.
The floating cities that were originally supporting on the side also continued to converge towards the center under Glenn's command.
In order to gain more power to climb.
"Drovas", which was transformed into a floating city, is also among them.
Turing as an external ally of Project Mayfly.
He and his city also occupy a place in this upward channel.
In fact.
Drovas's ostentation was great.
Two retro, sky-class starships.
Thirteen escort satellite ships.
There are many more constructs that even the mages at the cosmic observatory may not recognize.
These things cling to each other.
A small independent circle was formed within the floating city group.
And just as all the floating cities were pouring into the ascending channel one after another.
Delovas’ circle is also rising rapidly.
But soon.
A surprising scene appeared——
Just before Drovas approached the ascending channel.
That city.
Along with the starships and all the structures around him.
Suddenly deviated from the course.
Flying towards a fork in the road deep in the starry sky!
This incident happened suddenly.
And because they fly so fast!
Almost seconds.
Drovas's small circle withdrew from the floating city group.
Sailed towards the unknown starry sky route without hesitation!
…
…
"Record: The Space Observatory has launched the 'Ephemerality Project'!
…
The cosmic observatory has opened the ascending channel!
…
The Space Observatory has ignited the 'top of the tree of the universe'!"
…
"Warning: This action will cause the Fifth Star Orbit to lose the favor of the 'Tree of the Universe'. From now on, no one on the Fifth Star Orbit will be able to use the 'Cosmic Ladder' anymore!"
…
"Tip: You have turned off warnings about related information..."
…
"Record: The space observatory has entered the 'ascending channel'..."
…
"Abnormal! Drovas and his related forces deviated from the ascending channel. They chose an unknown 'star route'..."
…
It's getting dark.
Sitting alone on an unknown mountain in the ancient continent.
There was no human habitation to be seen within a thousand miles.
Roger could only stare blankly at the strange sight in the starry sky.
It was actually different from what Glenn imagined.
He didn't put in much of an ideological struggle.
I chose to let them go.
There are three reasons for this.
…
First point.
About the little thoughts of Glenn and others.
Roger already had an idea in mind.
When the world was destroyed on the ancient continent, he noticed the small movements of the cosmic observatory.
And in the communication with Mistra.
He also briefly touched on the subject.
Regarding the current situation.
He actually had certain expectations.
The only thing I didn't expect was that they moved so quickly.
Roger knew it.
Use the power of the cosmic observatory to escape from the fifth star orbit.
Even with the help of the ascending channel of the cosmic ladder.
It also requires a lot of extra energy.
Turing failed to borrow "Taibo" from himself.
Naturally, they can only take an unconventional approach.
Ignite the Tree of the Universe.
This may be a serious matter for the planet.
Because it will completely disrupt the planet's systems.
They will also lose the protection of the Tree of the Universe.
But in Roger's opinion.
The current twin stars don't receive much protection at all.
The positioning effect of the Tree of the Universe actually brings negative effects to the binary stars.
Roger decided to take the two stars with him to "ascend".
The Tree of the Universe is naturally a burden.
Even if the space observatory doesn't burn down.
He might even have to burn it himself someday!
It’s no big deal!
…
Second point.
This is because Roger himself is quite curious about things above the stars.
The power of the star barrier is too strong.
Even he couldn't see what the fourth star track really contained.
Although I got some information about Asgard and other planets from Hediwara.
But seeing is believing after all.
And when the cosmic observatory breaks through the star track.
Roger could take this opportunity to use magic to peek into the contents of the stars.
These are the things he cares about very much.
Besides, he had no grudge against the Space Observatory.
Everyone has their own aspirations.
There is no need to stop others if they want to run.
…
The third point——
This is also the most important point.
Just as Glenn felt.
Roger is a little tired.
In fact.
After the destruction of the world.
He felt deeply tired.
Although the killing was done by a scavenger.
The soul-collecting was done by the Queen with the help of the White Turbid Snake.
But Roger as an executor.
At that moment, my souls intersected with those of millions of lives.
That feeling...
Very exciting.
It's also very tiring.
He forced himself to complete the subsequent tasks.
After Mystra went to the Abyss of Destruction for her second reincarnation.
The tight string in Roger's heart finally loosened -
He kind of doesn't want to be in charge anymore.
in this case.
As long as the cosmic observatory doesn't do anything outrageous.
Roger let him go.
He was now lying comfortably on top of the mountain.
There was also a group of priestesses and dragon harem nearby, providing attentive massage and service.
If I hadn't been able to feel Beiya's murderous gaze from time to time.
These women might go even further.
But even so.
Roger still felt more relaxed than ever before.
He had intended to just watch the group leave.
There was a moment like that.
Roger hoped more than anyone else that this group of people could safely reach a higher star orbit——
Don't cause any more trouble!
However, the opposite happened.
The accident still happened.
Delovas actually took the initiative to leave the main force!
Turing went solo!
At that moment.
Roger suddenly jumped out of the hot spring summoned by the priestess!
He sensed something was wrong!
…
"You want to stop them now?"
Beiya misunderstood his action.
She flew over with great grace.
By the way, he used the force field to push away the women around Roger:
"An updraft has formed..."
"No!"
Roger looked at the direction of the starry sky and murmured:
"It's Turing!"
"That old fox... isn't he afraid of getting lost in the turbulence of the starry sky?"
"The Khovas are known for their wandering. Does this foreign sage want to imitate the ancient sages?"
"wrong!"
"He sensed the danger!"
Next second.
He winked at Beiya.
Then he attached his consciousness to the "White Turbid Snake".
The divine body screamed.
With Beiya's help, he briefly escaped from the "Sea God Realm".
Not long.
The turbid white snake then passed through layers of starry sky media.
Arrived at the edge of the cosmic ladder!
But at this time.
Turing and his fleet have disappeared into the star channel.
Under the influence of rising air currents.
The media in the remaining waterways has been slowly being filled up.
Roger could only catch some clues!
…
"Hint: You have obtained the 'coordinates of the entrance to the Wandering Road'..."
…
"The Space Observatory has successfully broken through the fourth barrier and reached the fourth star orbit!"
…
"Um?"
"No accidents?"
Roger looked at the gradually closing "ascending channel" with a little surprise.
Through that narrow gap.
His perception pierced in like a probe.
Things on the fourth star track suddenly became extremely clear!
The next moment.
Roger saw two planets!
Among them, the blue and spectacular one is Tailodar.
The one with an overall gray-gold metallic color but full of vitality is naturally Maison Nari!
"Oh……"
Roger blinked.
The beautiful blue planet suddenly turned into a horrible place with holes all over and bloodstains all over the ground.
And the same is true for Maisonnaire.
When the illusion of vitality is broken.
All that is left is endless silence and sporadic smell of fireworks.
That moment.
Roger's senses sprang into action.
He seized every minute and every second to collect information about "Maisonnari" and "Taylordar".
If it weren’t for the little wolf cub.
He wishes he could send them all out to work!
at the same time.
Roger was also paying attention to the cosmic observatory that had successfully broken through to the fourth star orbit.
They succeeded...
Although the moment of breaking through the fourth barrier.
Turing's temporary solo flight made Roger think something was going to happen.
But in the end, no one could stop their breakthrough.
This shows.
At least one of the two gods of the fourth star track gave them protection—
This is as it should be.
A person who, after witnessing the White Whale tragedy, still stubbornly rushed forward.
It must be a PY relationship between Mai and Tai.
Otherwise he wouldn't have done such a stupid thing.
…
"Which of the two gods is it?"
Roger prefers Masonnerie.
Tarodar is too mysterious.
Although there were also some shots.
But he hardly showed his face.
Instead, Xiaomai frequently appears on Double Star.
It makes sense that she already had an agreement with the Space Observatory.
“It’s good that they succeeded!”
"At least we have found a direction."
Roger breathed a sigh of relief.
Even as a deserter from the Fifth Star Track.
The Cosmic Observatory is also an organization originating from the lower-level planets.
If they could gain a foothold in a higher star orbit.
It means a lot to Binary Star.
As for Turing's solo career.
At this moment, it seems more like the sequelae of playing the role of fence-sitter too many times -
There is always a time when something funny happens.
It turns out.
The Fourth Star Track is quite safe and friendly.
Roger was gathering intelligence.
While thinking so.
And just above the fourth star track.
Glenn and the other mages thought so too!
“We did it!”
"Maisonnari didn't lie to us!"
The spire of Hilbore.
Glenn and other high-level mages were so excited that they burst into tears and hugged each other!
For this day.
They have paid so much!
And about this day.
They also made too much preparation.
But who knew it would be so easy to execute!
Every dangerous procedure was carried out without error.
Roger let them go.
Although Turing went solo, he had completed all the functions he was responsible for in the Mayfly Project.
Masonnerie did not breach the contract!
They are safe!
They are free!
them……
You will soon have a broader starry sky and a better home!
…
“Success!”
"Very good!"
"It's safe!"
In the floating city.
Thousands of people cheered.
Someone beside Glenn asked with a smile:
"According to plan."
"We'll open up a whole new space between Maisonnari and Taylordar, right?"
"Come to think of it, the planet seeds we have cultivated for so long can finally come in handy..."
Glenn also looked at him with a smile:
"yes……"
"Start slowing down..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
A violent shaking suddenly came from all directions!
Immediately following.
Everyone was surprised to find out.
The floating cities did not slow down.
On the contrary.
They could feel that the boost from the bottom was stronger!
There is a greater force.
Carrying them, they rushed to a higher place!
…
Glenn looked down in shock and anger.
In an instant.
He saw more sparks being ignited.
The sparks surged toward the outline of the "Tree of the Universe".
Although it has not been successfully ignited yet.
But the terrifying energy contained in it is enough to scare Glenn!
"What are you doing?"
He roared at the gray-gold planet.
Very quickly.
A calm voice sounded:
"Your wish is to settle in a safe, beautiful, and free star orbit."
"But that's not the case with the Fourth Star Track."
"In order to fulfill my promise to you, I decided to send you to a higher place."
Glenn's face turned pale when he heard this.
An arcane light suddenly appeared on his body.
But then it went out in frustration!
“No, no, no!”
“We don’t have to be taller!”
"The fourth star track will do, just..."
His voice was instantly drowned out by an even louder roar!
In an instant.
Flames hundreds of times more intense than before rose up.
The terrifying lifting force directly blocked all speech.
In Roger's astonished eyes.
The floating cities are moving towards higher star tracks at a speed a hundred times faster than before!
…
…
"Upgraded Perception: You noticed that Maisonnari stopped the Cosmic Observatory from extinguishing the Flame of the Universe;
…
Masonary set fire to the remaining branches of the Tree of the Universe.
And it increased the strength of the updrafts…"
…
"It's wheat..."
"Damn it, Turing, that old fox, made him sense the danger and run away again!"
Roger was amazed.
Masonnerie actually took the initiative to cut off the connection between his own planet and the Tree of the Universe.
Is this an explanation?
Is she also not satisfied with the current system of nine planets?
And now she increased the intensity of the ignition.
Where are we going to send everyone in the floating city?
The answer will soon be revealed.
Under the influence of turbulent updrafts.
The barrier between the five star orbits was briefly broken.
A large amount of starry sky medium was madly squeezing out in all directions.
Right near the Cosmic Staircase.
A brief vacuum period was created.
This gave Roger the opportunity to not only peek at Masonnerie and Taylordar.
I even saw the legendary Yggdrasil!
call!
The space observatory is flying very fast.
Just half a minute.
They left the fourth star orbit.
Gradually drive into the range of the central star track.
But there was no joy on Glenn and the others' faces.
Until now.
The cosmic observatory has completely lost control.
They have no control over their own direction.
I don’t even know about the higher and unfamiliar star tracks.
Something is waiting for them!
There's nothing they can do.
All I could do was stare and wait.
Or close your eyes and pray.
Three minutes later.
The floating cities roared and leapt over "Yugatras".
Then he plunged into the second star track without hesitation!
The flame finally came to an end.
But the instigation from Masonnerie is still continuing!
Another five minutes.
The floating city group broke through the second star orbit.
Unfortunately, in that short period of time.
Roger did not capture the outlines of the three planets that should theoretically exist in the second star track.
The floating cities seemed to be riding on an endless reverse slide.
Rushed violently towards the direction of the highest star track!
…
"I said I would fulfill my promise. Is there any place in this world that is better, freer, and safer than heaven?"
Masonnerie chuckled.
Maybe Glenn and the others can no longer hear it.
But it was clearly heard by Roger, Beiya and others!
That moment.
Everyone stared at the sun.
The timeline seems to be infinitely stretched.
Roger saw that the floating cities had successfully broken through the barrier of the first star track.
They sailed towards the scorching sun in a mighty procession.
But at this moment.
The planet that was emitting infinite light suddenly went out!
Immediately following.
It revealed its true appearance for a moment -
It was an extremely dark and ugly face.
It has trillions of weird synapses on it.
all the time.
Those synapses are constantly wriggling.
And just when the floating cities broke below the first star track.
All the synapses grow out like seaweed.
They greedily sucked in all the floating cities!
Then he stuffed it silently into the invisible huge mouth in the center of his face!
suddenly!
Three seconds later.
All synapses return to their original positions.
They shook themselves.
It changed from pitch black to golden yellow.
Next second.
The sun is shining brightly.
Everything returned to calm.
…
"Warning: You have discovered a planet-level monster (Face of Kansas)!"
…
“As expected…”
"That's not O..."
Masonnerie's whisper rang in Roger's ears again:
"Did you see that?"
Roger remained silent.
The intention of Masonnerie's actions was obvious.
She just wanted to test the situation in heaven!
Now it seems...
It’s hard to put it into words!
Before Roger could think of how to respond to Masonnerie.
In the gradually darkening vision.
Suddenly, more than a dozen asteroid-like objects appeared!
They are falling rapidly!
Some fell on Yugatrashi.
Some also flew towards the lower star tracks.
Roger sensed it carefully for a while.
There was finally a response on the data bar.
…
"Hint: You found 'Kansas Face's Saliva'!"
…
"Qi Refiner Knowledge: This item can be used to refine magic weapons..."
…
"Planarology Knowledge: This item can be used to reinforce a demiplane or subplane, making it stronger;
…
Note: Too much saliva from Kansas Face may attract low-level vortex creatures.
…
"Jade Phoenix Raising Knowledge: This item can be used to feed the Jade Phoenix, allowing it to level up quickly..."
…
"Aura Gazing: You realize that the place where this item fell may give rise to a large number of high-level monsters..."
…
"Warning: Four Kansas-faced saliva are flying towards Mystra! Do you want to intercept them?"
…
"Interception failed!"
…
"The power from the planetary monsters is being integrated into the four great secret realms of Mystra..."
…
"What the hell?"
"Did you give me time to intercept?"
Roger's heart tightened.
He quickly activated his perception and checked it out.
It was discovered that this might be due to the stronger gravitational force.
The four spit that hit Mistra were all integrated into the great secret realm formed by the historical world of return!
This also includes the "Glorious City" where Alan is.
There are also three great secret realms that have just been formed:
…
"Green Whispering Mountains (Fourth History)"
…
"Deep Lake (5th History)"
…
"Lead Gray Town (6th History)"
…
"A planet-level monster..."
"And it's a super monster that's many times more advanced than Windermere..."
Roger recalled how he felt when he saw that strange face.
I just felt uncontrollable fear and dread.
Immediately.
He observed that the astral medium that had been opened by the updrafts was also slowly closing.
Masonnerie, who had just been trying to get close to him, had disappeared.
He controlled the white snake to patrol outside the starry sky.
Then he returned to the Sea God Realm.
…
"Looks like your plans to relax have gone to waste?"
Beiya asked softly.
I don’t know if it’s because there is no historical world.
Quinan had better luck.
Just got hit by a spit.
The rest fell into the Abyss of Destruction.
I don’t know what the consequences will be.
Facing Beiya's question.
Roger could only smile bitterly and nod.
After Quinan's defection.
The binary star environment has been greatly improved.
He wanted to take this opportunity to rest and calm down for a while.
Unexpectedly, there were twists and turns again!
"I have to go and take a look, otherwise I will be worried."
Roger explained:
"By the way..."
"Let's take the keys to the remaining six historical worlds!"
Beiya nodded:
"I'm waiting for your good news."
"But before you go."
"There is one more thing I need your advice on..."
Speaking of.
She opened the Kingdom of God casually.
They dragged out two depressed-looking people, a man and a woman, like chickens.
"This girl seems to be related to you."
"What are you going to do with them?"
Beiya asked calmly.
Roger was stunned for a moment.
Then he looked at Sophia and Felton beside her and began to ponder.
…
