The Lepelian people have long forgotten the Fijian explorers who once went to sea in search of the "end of the world", including the initiator, the heroic emperor of the Hill Empire, Yiwan Sukaranna.

However, when the peace and prosperity of the Eastern Continent continued into the fifteenth year, one day someone suddenly came to King Hill and told him that the Fiydon explorers who had gone to sea fifteen years ago had returned!

What's even more incredible is that after fifteen years, the appearance of these Fiji explorers who returned from the East China Sea has almost no signs of aging, and even looks more radiant than before. At this time, Yiwan Sukaranna, as well as his noble ministers, were more or less clothed with the traces of time. Surprised, King Hill did not forget to inquire about the voyages of the Fidney explorers, and let them tell him everything without missing anything.

It turned out that after the fleet of Fiji explorers went to sea, they sailed east according to the original plan, and overcame many crises along the way. However, after a year of sailing on the sea, one day they were hit by a storm that had never been seen before, and a terrible storm destroyed almost all the ships. I managed to survive until the storm stopped, but I was trapped in a sudden thick fog. There was no wind around, and there was no way out, let alone a way out, so I could only wander in the vast fog of day and night. I can't count how many days passed until I ran out of food and fresh water. At that time, many people were sick and could not be well treated, so they could only wander helplessly in the thick fog.

Brave explorers don't intend to give up easily, but scurrying around like this without a clue is tantamount to waiting for death in silence.

Their boat, which had been ravaged by dozens of storms and had long since become dilapidated, had all the remaining ships tied together with ropes so that they could not be separated from their companions, and then rowed forward in unison, holding on in as much direction as they could. No matter how long it takes, no matter where it leads, it just can't stop.

Although they longed to break through the fog, they were always white in front of them, unable to distinguish between morning and night, and even did not feel the existence of time at all, only the torment of hunger and despair was clear. I thought that I might die, but no one expected that when they were no longer able to move forward and were almost dying, a scene of unforgettable beauty slowly emerged in despair.

The fog suddenly faded, and through the mist ahead, they could see a hazy and beautiful island. Whether it was a fantasy or it was really the end of the world, it gave these desperate explorers an uplifting hope. It seems to possess a mysterious magic that can make people forget hunger, fatigue, and predicament, and is miraculously full of power. So they hurried out of the already dilapidated boat, finding all the planks that could be used instead of oars, and with all their last strength, they rowed toward that beautiful place, and rowed and ......

But when the dreamlike island suddenly disappeared from view, was it really just an illusion? It couldn't be? Because it was so beautiful that it was far beyond people's imagination, it couldn't be an illusion. For some reason, these Fijian explorers stubbornly believed in their hearts that it was absolutely true!

"Look! it's in the air!"

At that time, I don't know who suddenly shouted, everyone quickly looked up, and sure enough!

White clouds covered almost the entire sky, and the mysterious island loomed in the dense fog at low altitudes, floating uncertainly, and it was impossible to see the whole picture in any way. There seems to be an incomparably large tree on the island, with extremely graceful posture, its branches and leaves stretching in all directions, covering almost the entire island, and there are many rainbow-colored lights surrounding it. It is an indescribable beauty, incomparable, and even if all the wealth and wisdom of the Fiji people are used, it is difficult to find a more beautiful existence than it.

When viewed from afar, it seemed to float on the surface of the sea, but when it got closer, it was found that it was floating in mid-air again. The Fiji explorers could only chase after it incessantly, looking up at it, reluctant to blink, as if everything would turn into clouds in the blink of an eye.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, without warning, a strong wind rolled up on the sea, and the waves rolled more and more fiercely, and the already dilapidated ship could no longer withstand the ravages of the huge waves. In fact, even a small storm now is enough to destroy them completely. However, at this moment, no one wanted to move, they maintained a posture of looking up, just standing in the storm, letting the storm tear the ship to pieces, letting the waves mercilessly sweep their bodies into the sea, and they were reluctant to lower their heads and not want to close their eyes with longing.

Because, the island floating in the clouds and mist is already their last hope. Everyone understands that these ships have long been unable to withstand any wind and waves, without fresh water and food, and cannot land for supplies and repairs, it is equivalent to no longer being able to continue sailing. However, for explorers who know that they will not be able to return to the sea, being able to see a fantasy scene that they have never seen before at the last moment of their lives is the most perfect ending of this journey, and there is no longer any regret.

At the moment when they were about to lose consciousness, they couldn't help but fantasize: Is there anyone on the island floating in the clouds? If so, who are the people who live in such a beautiful place? Are there flowers and birds? I wonder if there will also be a group of beautiful women in red dresses with a white flower in their hair, full of laughter and laughter to greet them, just like in the city of Fiji, their hometown......

With the beautiful fantasy of the floating island, with a happy smile on their faces, they rose and fell in the waves, without the slightest pain on their faces being swallowed by the huge waves, and their hearts were full of longing for the fantasy island that was close in front of them but could not be touched.

However, miracles often strike when people don't expect it. It wasn't until the explorers came to their senses again that they were surprised to realize that they had been rescued. Someone rescued them from the vast sea and gave them good treatment, and instead of any discomfort, they were relaxed and full of vitality.

“...... We walked into a world of strange creatures, the shock is indescribable, everything in the field of vision is incomparably beautiful, flowers and animals can be seen everywhere, and there are sparkling gems everywhere. The people who live there are very tall, different in appearance and form from us, and have an infinite lifespan, and there is no old man on the island. They only drank a sip of the sap from the giant tree for our dying companion, and he was cured of all his wounds. It was a place of incomparable beauty, and no one wanted to leave, but the journey was so long that it had taken us more than a year when we arrived there, so we did not dare to stay long, and we returned before we had time to see it in its entirety, for we had not forgotten the three-year period agreed with Your Majesty. ”

The Fiydon explorers gushed about the bizarre journey to King Hill: "...... We couldn't just cut wood on the island, but after learning why we were logging, they allowed us to use the timber there, built a new ship to return home, and sent us back to our original seas. Due to the speed of the new ship, the return journey took much less time than the time it took to leave, so we were able to rush back within the agreed period. ”

The Fijian explorers insisted that they had only built one ship on that beautiful floating island and returned immediately, but in fact, a full fifteen years had passed since the day they set out. Although the stories they told were too unbelievable to be true, King Hill couldn't help but believe them, for they did indeed look as young and strong as before, and even more energetic than before.

They said they met many very tall weirdos, some of whom even had wings and tails. The eccentrics walked barefoot, did not use any tools and did not build houses, and lived in nests woven from flowers and vines...... The most special thing is the miraculous giant tree, whose sap can actually revive a seriously ill and dying person. What's more, there's nothing more appealing than that mysterious island full of gems that can keep people young forever.

As a result, the strong desire for immortality instantly grew in the heart of this emperor Yiwan Sukarana, who had already unified the Eastern Continent and enjoyed supreme power and wealth, but could not withstand the aging of his youth.

Everything that the Lepelian people longed for seemed to be achievable on that fantastic island. It was only then that King Hill suddenly realized that ruling only one continent was far from satisfying him. He also wants to gain eternal life, keep the supreme power and wealth firmly in his hands forever, and become the emperor of the world through the ages...... He didn't want to die, not at all!

Driven by a strong desire, King Hill was convinced of what the Fijian explorers were saying.

However, the emperor, who was very deep in the city, deliberately accused angrily: "You are clearly a group of swindlers with rhetoric, not only did you abandon your own people, but you have been hiding for so many years in fear of death, and now you dare to make up such a ridiculous story to deceive me."

If there are gems everywhere, why do you come back empty-handed? I remember I said that you should go to the ends of the world and retrieve some treasures that are not available on the continent to prove your ability and integrity. And now, you have brought nothing back, which is enough to show that you are talking nonsense! If you cannot prove that what you say is true, I will bury the whole city of Fiti in the ground, including all the Fiti people in the city. Because, you have committed the felony of deceiving the emperor!"

"We're telling the truth!" Fijian explorers also knew that their experience was indeed unbelievable and unconvincing, but they still did not give up defending themselves. "Your Majesty, please listen to our explanation. If there is no one on the island, we will surely take back the treasures we have seen and present them to Your Majesty. But when the people of the island have saved our lives, how can we brazenly ask them for their possessions? They say that everything on the island, whether it is precious stones or trees, is intimately related to their lives, and that they never destroy or take it for themselves, and that it is already a great favor to allow us to cut down some timber for the sake of shipbuilding and returning. We have seen with our own eyes how they cherish every plant and tree on the island, and they will never dare to deceive Your Majesty. ”

Unexpectedly, after listening to these explanations, the aristocratic ministers present burst into laughter: "No one picks up the gems everywhere? How is this possible? Are all the weirdos on the island big fools?" Haha......

King Hill also snorted coldly, and said in an unkind tone: "It's nonsense at all! It seems that the evaluation of the Fiji people in the Ming Ancient Kingdom in the past was not wrong. They say that the Fijian people are insidious, cunning, treacherous, and use all kinds of trickery to get money. I also felt sorry for you, and I didn't want you to repay me with deception. ”

As early as when they set out to find the so-called "end of the world", the Fijian explorers did not expect that one day they would return alive, but what they did not expect was this infuriating ending, and they were no longer able to justify it.

However, King Hill did not intend to spare them, but listened to him continue: "Hmph! I will give you one last chance to prove yourself. If you can let me see the island with my own eyes, I'll take your word for it, and spare all the Fitans, or ......"

"But ......" At this time, the Fiji explorers had already vaguely sensed the ambition of King Hill, and could not help but worry about the beautiful floating island, so they had to make up a polite reason for refusing, "When we returned from that island, we promised the people on the island that we would not easily leak their location......"

"I am the emperor of this world, and everything is under my rule, and the ocean is no exception. You just have to follow my orders, and it doesn't matter what anyone else says. If I hadn't seen that island with my own eyes, the entire city of Fiji would have paid a heavy price, because cheating the emperor is a crime of betrayal, and there is only one way to die!"

Just like fifteen years ago, King Hill did it again. Knowing that he was uneasy and kind, but he threatened the life of the entire city of Fitan, the helpless explorers of Fiji had to be forced to agree to King Hill's request again in order to save their people and homeland, and this time, they really became the treacherous people in King Hill's mouth.
