Chapter 453: Primordial Wilderness

Legend has it that the dragons of creation were born in the gap between order and chaos, and they gained their form and life from nothingness, and this gap is their wonderful home, where they were born and raised. But in the end, the battle between chaos and order also spread to this land, and when it was determined that the invasion of chaos could not be stopped, the five dragons of creation had to leave this land with the remnants of the people of this continent, and used it as a base to create a new refuge -- that is, the predecessor of the Dragon Soul Continent.

"Okay, we can listen to the history lesson when we go back."

Rod reached out and pressed his forehead and said helplessly. He turned his head and looked around.

"The most important question now is how we got here......... No, I've pretty much guessed what happened. ”

Saying this, Rod snorted coldly. This reasoning couldn't be simpler, when opening the passage, Rhodes used the "plane coordinates" seized from the "black sticks" in the hands of the men in black before, and Maribel was sure that there was no mistake in the plane, so it could only explain one thing. That is, the plane passage opened by those men in black at the beginning was not connected to the Dragon Soul Continent, but to this primordial wilderness, and then they ran to the Dragon Soul Continent by unknown means, where they failed to ambush Irene, and then opened the passage to try to return to Earth. As a result, they didn't expect fate to play a big joke on them, not only did they not be able to run out of the palm of Irene's hand, but they also brought them a big disaster. And for this reason, Rhodes subconsciously thought that the location where they had opened the plane passage was the Dragon Soul Continent......... It's a sad story.

"Well, I guess......... There should be a way to return to the Dragon Soul Continent from here. ”

The situation in front of him was not optimistic, and Rhodes could feel that the nothingness here was so obvious that he could not even use his own power very well. It's not even as good as Earth, and although there's almost no magic on Earth, their rules are still sound. But here. Even the "sound" rules may not have been formed, and even absorbing the power of the Fantasy Magic Stone will become a little difficult. Obviously, this is a place of death for them, a place that will lead everything to eternal death, and devour it mercilessly.

"Yes, indeed. Your Majesty. ”

Soon, Maribel nodded in answer to Rod's question.

"Between the Primordial Wilderness and the Dragon Soul Continent, the Seven Illusion Realms are used as a connecting channel. At the beginning, after the creation dragons established the Dragon Soul Continent, they completely abandoned the original wilderness. And in order to prevent Chaos from taking advantage of the void, they closed this world and connected it to the Seven Illusion Realm. We'll take care of ............," said Maribel, waving her wand lightly before continuing. Hearing Maribel's words, Rhodes frowned.

"If I remember correctly, shouldn't the Demon God be in charge of guarding the plane passage connecting the main material plane with the underground world?"

"That's our responsibility, too. Whether it is the Seven Illusion Realm or the Plane Passage of the Underground World, it is our jurisdiction. In fact, the Seven Illusion Realms are also connected to the plane passages of the underground world. The passage at the junction of Hell and the Abyss is just a projection, if any Hell Lord or Demon Grand Duke tries to get to the main plane through that passage..............."

At this point, Maribel didn't say any more, but Rhodes understood what she meant. It seems that these demon gods are bad enough, saying that they are guarding the plane passage, but they have quietly made them into projections. If any stupid devil or demon is so stupid as to rush straight in. Not to mention if they can deal with the guards in the passage, even if they can kill them. Then the next moment, these guys will fall directly from the passage, and then enter the Seven Illusion Realm.

And then......... There is no then, it must be a miserable experience of the sad person who hears the heart and the listener tears. What those unlucky demon kings will be beaten by the demon gods when they fall into the Seven Illusion Realm, Rhodes doesn't even dare to think about it. However, that wasn't something he should be concerned about in the first place.

"So, we only need to find the entrance to the closed Seven Illusions Realm for now. Then just get in there. I think Your Majesty also feels that this is the place of exile, and far from the center of the Dragon Soul Continent, the power of order is very weak here, so we must hurry up. ”

"No problem."

Hear Maribel speak. Rod nodded. Then he looked at the people not far away, and fortunately, although the place did not seem to have any signs of life, it was not enough to starve them to death in a short time. Whether it's Rod, Maribel, Irene, or Lydia, they don't need to eat at all at this point. Canary No. 2 and Little Bubblegum don't need to eat because they're Phantom Guards. As for the others......... Thankfully, before returning, Maribel had each of them prepare supplies just in case. Rod had to admit that it felt really good to have such a thoughtful and all-encompassing person around him. Like Rhodes himself, he didn't think about the problems with teleportation, so he didn't care. In his mind, as long as he returned to the Dragon Soul Continent anyway, he could directly transmit a group teleportation technique home. But perhaps because of the effects of the teleportation failure, Maribel was clearly quite thoughtful in this regard. Not only did she think about what to expect from teleportation, but she also thought about how to merge and communicate with the personnel in case they were dispersed after teleportation.

At the time, Rhodes just thought that this Demon God Miss was a little too neurotic, but now it looks like ......... Sure enough, it's better to be careful in everything.

After deciding with Maribel, Rhodes asked her to organize the others to prepare for the action, and he gathered Irene, Lydia and Canary and the others together, and then explained the situation to them in detail. And after listening to Rod's words, everyone's reactions were also different.

"It's boring, I'm thinking I'll go back sooner."

Little Bubblegum pursed her lips and said boredly.

"I'd like to show Christie and the others the high-tech I've brought from Earth......... How could you still encounter such a troublesome thing? Let's get going, Captain, I've had enough! ”

"No problem, Rod, I'll listen to you."

And the canary, as always, did not have any objections and complaints. They shook each other's hands, then smiled and spoke.

"O primordial wilderness............... I've seen it in history, but I didn't expect it to come here..............."

Irene looked up to herself, staring at the abandoned land in front of her with a complicated expression. Look around. Everything here is so illusory and lifeless. It's like being left in a corner, covered with dust because of too much time, wrapped in cobwebs and losing its luster, and finally turning to dust. And the land in front of you is like this, just by seeing this scene, you can feel the loneliness of being abandoned.

"One day will pass away, no one can escape the torrent of time, and all glory and wealth will turn to dust in a hundred years. Even the most beautiful sculpture cannot last forever. Merely......... When I see this scene with my own eyes, I still feel unbearable..............."

Lydia was as literary as ever, but this time, Rhodes was staring at her with a strange expression.

"That......... Her Royal Highness Lydia? ”

"Huh? Can I help you? Your Majesty Rhodes? ”

"Pardon me, you really didn't plan to change this outfit?"

Although she returned to the world of the Dragon Soul Continent, Lydia obviously did not plan to change her clothes back as the locals did, on the contrary, the archangel's dress at this moment can be said to be extremely sexy and hot. She wore an ultra-short pair of jeans that almost reached the base of her thighs. In this way, the curvy and snow-white legs are displayed in front of everyone without any scruples, and the feet are wearing a pair of white calfskin boots. Lydia wears a short-sleeved T-shirt with her belly button exposed. She wears a sun hat on her head, which looks like a hot girl in a dance hall bar............... In all fairness, if Lydia wore this to a place like that for a bar or something, Rhodes wouldn't have seen anything wrong with it. But now that everyone has returned to the Dragon Soul Continent and is talking about some very serious issues............... This sense of disobedience is simply bursting!

"Oh? Why did His Majesty Rhodes think this way? ”

Hearing Rod's words, Lydia's eyes rolled slightly. Then she smiled smugly, and then she leaned in front of Rhodes, looking at her slyly. Looking at Lydia in front of him, Rhodes couldn't help but squint his eyes -- I have to admit that this dress really suits Lydia very well. But......... Thinking of this, Rod's eyes swept downward, and soon he saw the small protrusion on the towering chest of the girl in front of him. Seeing this scene, Rod sighed helplessly.

"Anyway, you're also the archangel, so it's not good to go into battle in vacuum......... At least underwear or something........."

"That stuff is so tight, it's very uncomfortable. Instead, I think it's torture for women in that world to dress like that, and I can't imagine how they could allow this kind of thing to bind their bodies. ”

Well said, Your Highness the Archangel! When I move the Dragon Soul Continent to the solar system, I will definitely let you spread this doctrine to Earth! While Rhodes was spinning in his mind how to put Lydia on the altar in the future, in the name of "Vacuum God Cult", he would convey this mythical that the masses of people like to hear and see to the earth, so that those stupid human beings could fully understand the will of the gods, and at the same time pressed his forehead helplessly.

"Anyway, you're not fit to fight right now......... And it's easy to get problems..............."

Hearing Rod's answer, Lydia's eyes rolled, and then the corners of her mouth curled slightly.

"Oh? Then His Majesty Rhodes means that you don't want people to see me dressed like this? ”

"Of course, after all, every man is selfish. If you wear it to me in private, I won't be welcome to wear anything at all. But in front of a large public......... That's another story. In the face of Lydia's ridicule, Rod was cheeky and gave an answer that was quite in line with his style, to a certain extent, he was also a man who followed his own desires, and Rod never thought there was anything wrong with it. It's people who have desires, and being brave in the face of desire is what people know, obviously they just like to see beautiful women, but they have to deliberately pretend to be high-definition and turn their heads to read "Red Pink Skeletons, Soil for a Hundred Years" That's the real artificiality. For Rhodes. Why should he care about what beauties will become after a hundred years? Isn't it enough to be able to spend a romantic evening with each other at this time? Staring at the beautiful woman in his eyes and imagining her death and decay into the form of white bones a hundred years later -- Rod felt that if there really was such a person, then his fetishes were really not understandable to ordinary people.

After hearing Rod's answer, Lydia opened her eyes curiously, looked at him for a moment, and then turned away with a smile. And in the face of Lydia's actions, Rod could only shrug his shoulders. Anyway, everything that needs to be said has been said, and the next can only go with her. From this point of view, Irene is much more worry-free than Lydia, although she is also wearing clothes bought on the earth, but it looks like a good match for this world, the simple black dress is not conspicuous, but it sets off the charm of Irene herself. Compared to Lydia's out-of-place outfits, this side feels much better.

In the end, Lydia did not change back to her original costume. According to her, she likes this style of clothing, which not only makes it easy to move, but also makes herself look more radiant. However, having said that, Lydia finally added an extra white leather jacket outside, and finally eliminated the hidden danger that it might go away. And for the willfulness of this archangel, Rhodes was also speechless, so he simply didn't say anything. Instead, they set off quickly.

The path to the Seven Illusions Realm is not hard to find, at Maribel's reminder. As long as Rod raised his head, and after adjusting to the bright light of the dome, he could easily see the existence of a huge and thick cylinder on the horizon, almost obscuring one-fifth of the sky. The other end is the point that leads to the horizon -- that, according to Maribel, is the point of connection between the Seven Illusions and this world. As long as you reach the huge white cylindrical tower, you can enter the Seven Illusion Realms. At that time, you can return to the Dragon Soul Continent through the passage of the Seven Illusion Realms.

By the way, spatial teleportation is not possible in the Primordial Wilderness, and Rhodes once tried to open the spatial passage. The result was completely unsuccessful. Everything here feels clear and cloudy, like coffee milk stirred constantly, and although you can tell at a glance which side is milk and which side is coffee, it is impossible to separate them. And that's how the Primordial Wilderness now feels to Rod.

So there is no other way but to walk.

However, this is definitely not a comfortable experience for everyone. Not to mention, although it seemed that the huge white cylindrical tower was close in front of them, everyone had been walking for hours, but they still had no intention of closing the distance with each other.

But that wasn't the main concern for Rhodes, as he looked up at the front, a whistling breeze mixed with dust blowing through him, obscuring the view in front of him. But Rhodes didn't care about this, on the contrary, he was more concerned about another thing -- thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Irene, who was walking not far from him. That was also the topic that he and the Moon Princess were discussing just now.

From the current point of view, it is an indisputable fact that the other party has turned on the coordinates of the teleportation channel in the Primordial Wilderness. So the question is, why are they opening the passage here? Indeed, if it were here, Rhodes and the others would not have noticed it at all. Because this place is far away from the Dragon Soul Continent, and there is no Dragon Soul to protect it, in the gap between chaos and order, even Alice's historical tracing is powerless. If they're hiding here, there's really nothing they can do about it. However, it was just a coincidence that they opened the coordinates of the plane passage here? Or was it premeditated?

In this world, will they build a base here in the same way that humans have explored the moon? If that's the case, then I'm afraid things will get even more troublesome. However, it is a pity that Rhodes does not have the extra strength to search this world, and according to Maribel, it is dangerous and not suitable for a long stay. Therefore, Rhodes could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart for the time being, after all, their main purpose now was to return to the Dragon Soul Continent safely. After that, if possible, bring others here to see how things are going.

“………………?”

But at this time, Rod suddenly stopped, not only him, but even Lydia, Irene and others slowed down at this moment, looking at the front with a solemn face.

"What's wrong? Rod? ”

Seeing Rod stop suddenly, the canary asked curiously. In the face of the canary's inquiry, Rhodes was silent for a moment, and then nodded.

"There was the sound of battle not far ahead."

"Huh?"

Hearing Rod's answer, Canary and Little Bubblegum were stunned, they were just ordinary people, so naturally they couldn't hear the sound too far. But for Rhodes and others, the sound was so clear that it seemed to be close to the ear.

"Probably just behind the hill, the number of people......... It's probably about a thousand people. ”

Lydia narrowed her eyes, and it only took a split second to come up with an answer.

"Do you want me to fly over and see what's going on?"

"No, wait a minute..............."

Rhodes waved his hand at Lydia's inquiry, and then he looked at Maribel.

"Maribel, are there any remaining inhabitants here?"

"I don't know about this, after all, we are the spokespersons of the rules created by His Majesty the Dragon of Creation in order to stabilize the order of the Dragon Soul Continent after creating the Dragon Soul Continent. We've only heard a little about everything here. But the specifics ..............."

"I see."

Hearing Marybell's answer, Rod nodded, and then he quickly turned his mind to ask his own question in his head again.

"Do you know what's going on?"

“…………… I don't know, brother. ”

His sister's hesitant voice rang in Rod's head.

"The only thing I know for sure is that not everyone was willing to leave with us, and there were some who didn't have time to arrive to join us, so someone must have stayed. But I don't think they've survived until now under these harsh conditions......... Brother, you also realize that this is already a forgotten place, a place to be abandoned, and logically speaking, no life can survive. ”

"After all, that's just a theory, and now it looks like it's not the case."

As he spoke, Rhodes raised his head, then flicked his right hand slightly, and soon, a long sword appeared in his hand.

"It looks like we're going to get ready, and they seem to be heading in our direction."

And at the same time, as if reflecting the version of Rod's speech, on the hill in front of everyone, the dust was flying, and then black shadows emerged from it. (To be continued......)
