The Gate of the Past – the space where you can't move forward

Sigh for the desert, the wounds of the earth.

It was the mark of the end of the Tertiary Age, a scar that will never be erased.

The great creator Yarra appeared at the last moments to reorganize the shattered earth and save countless creatures that were still alive and thin on the shattered earth. However, with the power of the Creator, it is impossible to put together a piece of the already broken earth and restore it to its original appearance, so it is inevitable that it will leave a deep trace in the center of the earth.

The Earth's Wound was located in the middle of the Sighing Desert, a deep rift in the shape of a multi-pointed star that stretched hundreds of meters in all directions. According to common sense, such a crack in the desert should have been filled with quicksand a long time ago, and there was no trace in sight. But in reality, no grain of gravel can fall into the wounds of the earth, it is a big open mouth in the desert, always telling the tragedy of the end. The reason why the gravel can't enter the wounds of the earth is because its interior is constantly filled with destructive energy, powerful and violent, tearing everything inside to pieces. No one knows how deep the wound of the earth is, and no one knows what the center of the wound of the earth is, for thousands of years, no one has been able to successfully enter the center of the wound of the earth, the more terrifying the inner energy, just exploring its periphery, it takes two demigods to join forces to support it with their own energy, in order to be able to support a safe range of a few square meters.

Most of the people in the team who were determined to die had been here and seen the wounds of the earth with their own eyes, but all of them found that what they saw now was completely different from what they remembered.

From a distance, the star-like wound of the earth has not changed, what has changed is the space above it. Above the wound of the earth, a huge black sphere-shaped space now appeared, and the edge of the space flowed with shining silver light from time to time, which was the aftermath of energy generated when the two spaces collided.

The black orb hovered above the Earth's Wound, its edges just touching the concave corner of the polygram, as if it were held up by Earth's Wound. Every second, countless undead poured out from the bottom of the sphere, and the undead who poured out of the earth along the concave corners walked out of the wounds of the earth. Step into the desert of sighs, and then walk off into the distance without stopping.

"Roar~~~~ Rush, little lion. Maya and Tiya stood on top of Dilly the Manticore, pulling the lion's mane and shouting, "To the big black ball." Charge. ”

"Shut up, two fools. The giant manticore shook its head vigorously and threw the two winged maidens above its head into the air, but let the two of them swing in the air with their manes, leaving a string of crisp laughter with each shake.

"Lady Mina, please. "Observed the distance. Kyle gave a thumbs up in the air. Above Dilly, Mina turned into a prototype, and her body several times larger than the giant manticore was covered in the air like a dark cloud, when she heard Kyle's instructions, she immediately lowered her height, gathered her wings, wrapped her body around the manticore and the passengers above, and used inertia like a ball to rush directly into the black space.

Mina is one of only two combat-type dragons in the Guardian Clan, and her defense has reached an astonishing height with her skin and scales alone. Even the Douqi shield was not strengthened, but it relied on the normal solidified shield. Mina wrapped the people around and broke into the black space. The rift and violent energy formed by the collision of the two spaces could only cause a string of sparks when they hit her, and they couldn't even leave traces on the scales.

With a "whew" and the wings spread again, the team had already passed through the spherical black gate and entered another unknown world.

Previously, since no one knew whether the energy contained in the world behind it would be enough to supply the demigods with near-unlimited extraction and consumption, or how long it would take to travel through space, Kyle had developed such a plan. Mina, who has the strongest defense, uses as little consumption as possible to carry everyone into the space gate, and it is best if it does not happen, in case it takes too long to pass through the gate. Or if the energy consumed through the gate is too much to recover, then Mina will humanize when she feels hard, and the next person will take over.

Luckily, though, the pre-designed backup plan didn't have a chance to be used. The world behind the space gate still has a lot of energy to supply, and it only takes a few seconds to pass through the space gate. Everything went smoothly and there were no unexpected surprises.

"Finally came in. Clark wiped his thick beard and said in a rough voice, "But where are we now, why haven't we seen the undead?"

All members are now suspended in total darkness, and nothing is felt in the dark void, except for a large number of flickering lights that can be seen far away in the sky. In the darkness, people can only rely on their own means, using magic or fighting spirit to make a faint light around their bodies, barely illuminating the vicinity.

"Strange. Kyle touched his chin and said strangely, "Supposedly, we rushed in from the top of the undead's head, and we should be in the same position as the undead who are preparing to go out, how can we appear in such an empty place? Or is there something wrong with the space door?"

"There was nothing wrong with the space door. The black-robed mage Fira closed her eyes, her thin right hand flicked in the air, touching the will of the elements in the void, and after a while, she opened her eyes and continued: "That's right, there is no problem, we have come to the right place. As for the current situation, it is easy to understand that the space crossing from the inside to the outside is orderly, that is, it directly crosses to the position where the space door is opened, while the space crossing from the outside to the inside is not necessary, even if you enter at the same time, it is possible to travel to different places. ”

"If that's the case, we should be separated. Kyle looked left and right, "There is no one less now, and there is no scattering at all." ”

"Thank you, Lady Mina. Phila said coldly: "Lady Mina wraps everyone with her body, I'm afraid that the space gate will mistake it for the same body, just like the various organs in our own bodies, they will not be scattered around the world without crossing." ”

"Understood. Kyle nodded and said, "The next step is to make sure that the exit path is clear." Although we were mentally prepared to die when we came, if we were lucky enough to survive, we always need to return to the world of Yara. So, now the question is, where is the passage of return, the breakthrough of the army of the undead?"

"Over there. Phila pointed ahead, also in the direction of the stars: "I can feel that the fluctuations of the portal are coming from that side, and the way home should be there." ”

"Good. Kyle clapped and said, "The portal is there." Then the army of the undead must be there too. And through the army of the undead, it is completely possible to trace back to the source and follow the clues to find the remnant soul of the evil god. Then let's start going that way, and the sooner we solve the problem. The continent of Yara will be able to have fewer war dead. ”

Dilly threw his head back and roared, waving his wings and flying forward in the void. Ms. Mina then transforms into a human form and lands back on Dilly's back. The Dragon's Guardians have an unknown weakness, which is why Diely is needed as a means of transportation.

For dragons, each one has a huge body. Great power. As a guardian clan, each dragon has a legendary rank and corresponding strength since birth, and most adult dragons have ** strength comparable to the power of demigods, which can theoretically be equivalent to demigods. However, this is also the root cause of their weakness. Too large body and strength, so that every action of them, need to consume a huge amount of physical strength, if you want to support such physical consumption, you have to eat food, to supplement a lot of energy. Someone once calculated. It would take a full five hours of non-stop feeding to supply the physical strength needed for a dragon to move all day, and with the hundreds of dragons in the Dragon Mountains, if left unchecked, the entire Yarra world would soon be consumed. Because of this weakness, combined with the lazy nature of the dragons from the bone marrow, most of the dragons lie motionless in their nests for many years, and the physical exertion can be reduced to a minimum, so that the world of Yara has survived the fate of becoming a dinner.

"No, I think there's something wrong here. Dilly, stop. After two hours of flying peacefully in the void, Kyle suddenly stood up and said. As a special manticore, Dilly flies far less than the dragon Mina. But it is also quite fast, usually a distance of nearly a kilometer has been left behind as soon as the wings are spread, and now in order to seize the time and fly at full speed, two hours can completely cross five or six hundred kilometers. However, it seems that Kyle still has something to complain about this. Stopped Dilly's flight.

"Are we really moving forward?" Kyle asks the group, "why don't I see it at all?"

"If you don't have a reference around, it's hard to see even if you're moving forward. Goblin Christo explains: "This is not uncommon. ”

"No, there is a reference, our shadow. Kyle gestured to his feet. Everyone present was an extremely strong person, and the darkness could not cause trouble to everyone at all, so after seeing the surrounding environment clearly, everyone had turned off the light emitted by the fighting spirit and flew into the distance in the darkness. So, on Dilley's back, everyone is cast very dim shadows by the light in the distance, and Kyle is pointing to these shadows and says, "I've been keeping an eye out for the shadows, and as long as there is any slight change in their angle, it can't escape my eyes." But from the beginning to the present, everyone's shadow has not changed its position. ”

"Does this mean that those lights are too far away from us, hundreds of kilometers away from us, and they can't change the shadows at all?" Although Nelly's knowledge is not as rich as Kyle's, she still understands this simple basic knowledge: "Or maybe we haven't moved at all?"

"That's how it should be. Kyle nodded, "I'm more inclined to the latter, because this space isn't actually too big, after all, it's just a space derived from continental fragments." ”

"Maybe in this space, there is no such directional law as forward and backward?" said the black-robed Phila with her finger behind Dilly's back, "This will cause us to fly for a long time and still be in place, because there is no concept of moving forward." ”

"No, maybe there's another explanation. Goblin Christo suddenly jumped on the spot and screamed, "I see, I see, it's not that you can't move forward here, it's that you don't use the right way." There are similar rules of space recorded in the classics, in which it is useless to move forward with limbs, and if you want to move forward, you must rely on ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the goblin's thin body suddenly disappeared from Dilly's back, completely gone.

"Hey, little Carat. The Winged Twins were taken aback and said in surprise: "This, why is this guy suddenly gone?"

"That idiot went first. Phila said harshly: "I also understand that moving forward here is not by walking and relying on wrong, but by contemplating and meditating, when you concentrate on moving forward......"

Just like the goblins, the black-robed mage was the second to disappear without a trace. But this time, everyone understood, but instead of meditating, they each grabbed the mane of the manticore.

"It's up to you, come on. Kyle patted Dilly on the back, "I believe you are a qualified vehicle and will be able to do it." ”

"You're the means of transportation, your whole family is the means of transportation. Dilly let out a grill of dissatisfaction, and everyone disappeared at the same time, leaving only a dark void. (To be continued.) )
