Volume 8: Floating Under the Sky Chapter 8 The World in the Sky (Part 2)
Some elements of the world are incomplete, not because of the Creator, but perhaps because of trauma caused by ancient wars.
The recorded history of intelligent creatures is only a thousand years old. Before that, there were ruins everywhere caused by terrible wars. The gods of the past unleashed malice and terror without restraint. The terror in the depths of the universe shook the entire starry sky, and all creatures wailed in infinite fear and despair.
No one knows how many wars have occurred and how many worlds have been destroyed before the records of history. But what is known now is that traces of the old gods can still be found on the edge of the Pale Crusade, and the monsters chased by the Paladins to the edge of the universe can still leave behind a large number of incomprehensible nests and ruins, and in the dark galaxies that are unknown how far away, the roars of those ancient monsters licking their wounds can still be heard.
Therefore, the servants and legions of Holy Light spared no effort in searching for various relics and clues, sorting out all the gods and power systems that have appeared so far, trying to find the most fundamental solution.
Although this project is huge and seemingly limitless, weak and incompetent people and defeatists will not join this ranks. Therefore, no one doubts the feasibility of this progress. The failure of a great project is not due to people's technology, but often just because people think about failure and take it for granted. After abandoning this weakness and luck, the Holy Light Department has completed the induction of 60% of the genealogy of the old gods, and this progress may be further improved as the Day of Decay progresses.
The sky world that they sought help from this time was also one of the battlefields of the Dark Ages. It was unknown what of existence had roared and vented its anger in this world. The stars and soil boiled and evaporated. The remaining buildings and the stripped sky became part of the world, trapped on the edge of nightmare and reality. Theoretically, this world could not exist, but since it existed, there must be a reason for it.
So this is why Li Lin came here. What he needs to do is to record the details and small coordinates of this world, and then send them to the researchers responsible for on-site protection and destructive research.
Although it looked like a laborer, Li Lin felt that now was not the time to be fussy about it. It was a rare opportunity to have a small task to practice and level up, so why not do it?
"This is the edge of the realm. Assistant, just jump down and open the space gate."
Flying above a storm vortex in an airship, the navigator said through the intercom in the helmet:
"Because the intervention of gods and demons may affect the surrounding world, I hope you will wait until you enter the inner world before summoning."
"Yes, I understand."
Li Lin nodded, looking at the vortex that appeared out of thin air under his feet, which violated common sense.
His plan to be a middleman came to an end because the standard Holy Light equipment could only be received and not exchanged, and he didn't know where the +2 ritual sword and Winchester that the old elf got from.
However, another plan was more successful. After being strengthened, Sally's charm was beyond Li Lin's expectations. Li Lin found a few unlucky bandits on the road to test it. Just by releasing a part of the charm of the big devil, those people seemed to be brainwashed and shouted "Long live". The effect was extremely powerful.
This time when he goes to the sky world, Li Lin plans to test Sally's abilities while testing his own weapons.
As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. It is so good to hone your skills.
It's enough to think too much while doing such a stupid task.
"Then I will go."
Looking at the vortex under his feet, Li Lin stepped out from the airship holding the cross.
In an instant, countless rays of light enveloped Li Lin's body, and a dazzling white robe spread from the light.
The barefoot white knight was born from infinite light, looked at the dark vortex, opened his arms, removed the restrictions of gravity, and plunged into it like diving.
And the vortex was not full of lightning and twisted storms as Li Lin had expected. There was no resistance in the calm vortex, as if it had simply jumped into the eye of the storm. After a series of flashes of darkness and light, it broke through an imperceptible curtain, and the world in front of Li Lin suddenly lit up.
“Wow…”
It really is the world of the sky...
Looking at the endless clouds and the dark blue sky that touched the stars, Li Lin, who was falling from the sky, couldn't help but sigh.
One thing that the Holy Light Department's report did not mention is that this world, which seems to have not been polluted by any existence, truly has a breathtaking natural beauty.
The White Knight's talent allowed him to lose the restraint of gravity in mid-air, and he could walk freely on the path he wanted to move forward as his mind changed, without any inanimate objects blocking his way. In front of Li Lin, the sea of clouds retreated layer by layer like an opened ocean, leaving the knight with a sacred path.
Because maintaining the form of the White Knight required holding up the Apocalypse, Li Lin held the long sword of light in one hand, and floated in the clouds while sighing at the buildings that were looming in the sea of clouds. Those things were like the wreckage of heaven, looming in the white clouds, and some of the wreckage was still passing across the sky, reflected above Li Lin's head. Through the translucent wreckage, one could also see the starry sky outside the world.
However, rather than being a world in the sky, it is more like a reflection of the deep sea.
Especially facing the infinitely deep and dark sky, reflecting a touch of blue sky, the world seems like a world where heaven and earth are upside down, falling into the deep sea that looks like the starry sky.
If you look closely, most of the buildings in the phantoms are hanging upside down as if they are about to fall into the sky. They violate the basic gravity in the clouds and fall towards the starry sky outside the atmosphere together with the nightmare.
"I don't feel very well..."
Feeling the terrifying intention, Li Lin didn't know what level of war had broken out here.
The remaining wreckage alone is enough to inspire awe, and some even think it is a creation of the power of heaven and earth. It is obviously not a boss that Li Lin can challenge now.
But this time he was not here to cause trouble, but simply to expand the map. So Li Lin took a look at the starry sky that looked like a phantom of the deep sea, then turned his head to look at the blue sky world under his feet that reflected the universe, closed his eyes slightly, held the cross and began his distant call.
The light suddenly appeared.
