Chapter 19: Puzzle and Miracle Island
Walking on the long bluestone steps suspended in the void, Old Junker answered the questions of Chen Tang and others very patiently and in detail. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info also let them know some common knowledge about the Lord of the Nebula............ And not secrets.
In the mouth of old Juncker, the Lord of Nebulae is a much more powerful being than the so-called gods, Buddhas and other gods of mankind. He is a noble life form that travels through the universe and wanders everywhere. He controls a palace as huge as a small planet, that is, the [Nebula Shrine]. Not long ago, I finally came to the solar system where humans lived, and then discovered the earth with life. Out of his hobby of collecting all kinds of cosmic creatures, the Lord of the Nebula secretly abducted tens of thousands of humans of all races. Through the survival of the fittest, the last survivor, who is the most powerful, becomes his new pet.
Any statement in this world, even the most sincere and true words, will always have an element of exaggeration. Chen Tang just listened quietly, as for what he thought in his heart, it was another matter. -- He would not believe that the so-called Lord of the Nebula would be a more powerful existence than Buddha and God. At best, it comes from an alien civilization with advanced intelligence, which can control the high technology that is not yet known to humans, and creates some kind of invincible illusion for humans. Otherwise, if the Nebula Lord is really omnipotent, why does he need to build the so-called Nebula Divine Palace, wandering through the universe with a huge palace?
There is one more doubt............ If the Lord of the Nebula is really strong and unscrupulous. Why did he hide far away in the Kuiper belt at the edge of the solar system and secretly kidnap human beings? Wouldn't it be enough to appear directly on Earth? Anyway, human beings are so weak in his eyes, they should have no power to resist.
Chen Tang had an inference from this............ The Lord of the Nebula is far from being as powerful and invulnerable as he appears, and the solar system is ...... Or there must be some kind of power on the earth that makes the Lord of the Nebula jealous and even fearful. He only needs to solve the answers to these two doubts, and perhaps he will find the weakness of the Nebula Lord, and when the time comes, returning to Earth will not be just a dream.
Of course, it's too early to say this, the most important thing now is to adapt to life here as soon as possible, get familiar with everything as soon as possible, and learn everything............ If the Lord of Nebula allows them to learn.
A few minutes later, the bluestone steps came to the end, and came to a mirrored wall with rippling fresh water waves, and the gray-clothed old Junker smiled: "Follow me, don't panic, just go through it." With that, he stepped into the mirrored wall, and as the ripples scattered, his figure disappearing into it.
It's really magical, Chen Tang and everyone were amazed. He remembered a fantasy novel he had read on a certain website...... This should be the so-called [Teleportation Array], right? In this way, the place where the Lord of the Nebula comes from should be an alien planet with highly developed magic. If the Lord of Nebula is a powerful mage, then while his mana is strong, perhaps his own strength is not invulnerable.
With old Junker leading the way, everyone walked into the mirror wall one after another, as if diving into the water, and in just a few seconds, they got out. When they opened their eyes again, everyone was immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.................. They were suspended in the air on a small floating island the size of a football field, and a huge island as far as the eye could see appeared at their feet, and the forest was lush with dense jungle, dotted with rivers, lakes, and fertile meadows............ There are also a number of small castles and village settlements. The races that live here should all be the pets of the Lord of the Nebula. -- This is a huge zoo that will not be smaller than thousands of square kilometers in size, but it is inhabited by intelligent creatures, not lions, bears, tigers and leopards...... Chen Tang thought.
There is a sphere in the sky that looks like the sun producing light, the earth is not a planet but has the gravitational pull of the earth, and it is not the sea that surrounds the island, but the endless void!
"Alright, this is where you will live from now on...... [Miracle Island]. Old Juncker said to Chen Tang and the others: "Before I send you down, you can make some requests to me. As long as it's not too much, I'll say yes. ”
"Can you tell us more about this miracle island, what races inhabit it, what abilities do they have, how do we communicate with them, and how can we ask you for help when we are attacked by the enemy?" After Lin Jian's death, even if Chen Tang was very uncomfortable, he could only take on the responsibility of leading everyone, and when he heard Old Junker's words, he asked
"Oh, the island of miracles is inhabited by the pets of their owners, and they come from all different intelligent races. For their abilities...... You should have seen it in the cage fight on the master's test ground just now. As for how you communicate with each other. Old Juncker smiled and pointed at everyone: "Isn't everyone hiding a pink bead? As for the true utility of this crystal bead, it is not fixed, but completely controlled by the owner. Now, these beads, if swallowed, will allow you to understand any language, and communication is not a problem. ”
Chen Tang was secretly surprised...... He thought that he was very secretive and let everyone hide a crystal bead, but he didn't expect that everything was in the hands of the Lord of Nebulae. This made him a little frustrated............ If it were completely transparent to the Nebula Lord, any intrigue would be useless, let alone an attempt to escape back to Earth.
"We fought with those races, and they killed so many of our compatriots, and we killed some of their companions. After we go down, will they come to take revenge on us?" Lao Lei asked: "We are weak, I am afraid that we will be besieged and killed before we can live here for a few days." ”
"Don't worry, you have three months to adapt. During this period of adaptation, no other race will be able to do anything to you. As for what will happen after the adaptation period, you need to figure it out for yourself. Old Junker smiled and kindly reminded him: "By the way, not all the living beings here are friendly to each other......, right? That's always clear, right?"
"No problem, right? Then I'm going to send you down. Juncker Sr. finally asked. Chen Tang hurriedly asked one last question: "Can we see you again in the future?...... And the Lord of the Nebula?"
"Remember, you are to address him as Master, and even if you call him by his name, you must put the word Holy in front of him, otherwise it will be a blasphemy against him. Old Junker had a rare solemn expression and admonished. Seeing that everyone nodded in awe, he finally answered Chen Tang's question.
"Rest assured, the master is great and divine, and his words will surely come true. Since I said that I would let you go back to Earth in the future, I will definitely do it. But you also need to work hard for yourself...... Try to satisfy the owner, otherwise how can the owner's reward be given?As a pet, how to make the owner happy, that's also your duty, isn't it? So we'll see each other more often in the future, because the owner will often come to Miracle Island to play. ”
Enough was said, old Junker didn't say much, watching everyone swallow the crystal beads, he didn't know where to conjure a black staff, drew a circle in mid-air, emitted light, wrapped everyone, and disappeared in an instant. It's just that at the moment of leaving, Chen Tang faintly saw through the aperture that Old Junker winked at him, very vaguely, but really winked at him.
What did old Junker mean by blinking, and what did he want to tell Chen Tang? These were Chen Tang's doubts.
But soon he didn't bother with it, because the sixteen of them had been transferred to the surface of Miracle Island............ And around the clearing where they landed, there were already many creatures of different shapes.
