Chapter 449 Traversing the Heavens, Blue and White Crystal Platform
Chapter 449 Traversing the Heavens, Blue and White Crystal Platform
Above the blue and white stars, Lynn stood still, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
Meanwhile, the wizards beside him had already spontaneously scattered in all directions to explore the situation in this strange place.
They were inexplicably teleported to a blue and white star, unable to leave for the time being, yet the enemy's attack was nowhere to be seen.
Given this, investigating the environment as soon as possible naturally becomes the most reasonable choice.
As for Lynn himself, although the scene before him was also beyond his expectations, in a sense, it could be considered that he had "gotten what he wanted".
After all, he didn't trust Sky City to begin with.
Even so, he still brought such a small group of people and swaggered over to visit them in person.
It would be impossible for someone not to have the intention of "getting involved."
His purpose was quite simple.
That is to attract most of the attention of the civilization of gods.
Only in this way can the wizard Ald and the Sea King on the other side have a chance to accomplish what is truly important.
In other words... recalibrate the star chart coordinates!
"As long as the star chart coordinates can be restored..."
"That Hercules of the Morning Star Realm will become my greatest trump card."
Thinking of this, Lynn's gaze became even more profound.
Indeed, the reason he has changed his usual cautious, prudent, and methodical approach recently is that he has become so "reckless".
It wasn't that he was truly out of his mind; he did it on purpose.
He needed to draw the attention of the gods to himself, thus giving the wizard Ald an opportunity to repair the star chart coordinates.
In fact, before heading to the Pano plane, when Lynn learned that the enemy was the Goddess of the Magic Network, the first person he thought of was Hercules.
After all, back in the Wizarding World, that being at the Dawnstar Realm had once made a meaningful remark:
Someday in the future, perhaps Lynn will need to take action to deal with the Goddess of the Magic Network.
Now, Lynn has indeed come up against the Goddess of the Magic Network.
Although it might not be entirely consistent with the "future" that Hercules spoke of, Lynn still sent an invitation to the other party immediately.
The result was even better than he had expected, because Hercules actually responded.
However, the other party's current state seems somewhat unusual.
It turns out that Hercules is currently on a dimensional expedition and is not located within the Wizarding World.
Therefore, unlike Wizard Ald, Sea Emperor Storm, and others, he did not arrive via the interdimensional teleportation system of the wizarding civilization.
Instead, they chose a method that Lynn considered almost outrageous.
Crossing the heavens.
Not bad.
Hercules is actually preparing to travel through countless worlds in his physical body, heading directly towards the Pano plane!
He didn't even plan to use the teleportation array.
The only requirement is that Lynn maintains the precise and stable coordinates of the star chart in the Pano plane at all times.
In this way, he could rely on himself to forcibly lock onto the location of the Pano plane, and then travel across the realms to arrive!
Even now, Lynn still feels a jolt whenever he thinks about this.
Is the Morning Star Realm truly this powerful?!
His physical body traversed the heavens without relying on external forces, directly crossing countless worlds to arrive.
This is beyond the comprehension of ordinary Morning Star wizards.
The endless heavens and myriad worlds, also known as the universe and starry sky, are not necessarily too difficult to survive in if one simply wants to do so.
Let alone Morning Star Wizards, even some well-prepared Level 3 Archmages can survive for a period of time in an environment without oxygen, energy factors, or external supplies.
The problem is that the endless heavens and myriad worlds are never the universe in the traditional sense.
Traditional universes are characterized by vacuum, coldness, and death.
However, the "cosmic starry sky" in the endless heavens and myriad worlds will be subjected to strong radiation and distortion from one plane and civilization after another.
In some areas, a vacuum state does indeed still exist;
However, the external environment in some areas has already changed drastically.
It could be a raging torrent of flames that burns and spreads across the endless void;
It may be a liquid realm filled with terrifying pressure, like the deep sea;
It could also be a variety of special forms that are difficult to understand and constantly changing.
The most exaggerated example, of course, is the transformation of the external environment by those powerful civilizations.
For example, the civilizations of gods have a range of influence that can even directly change the shape of the universe itself.
There is no such thing as "cosmic starry sky" there.
That area is collectively known as the Kingdom of the Universe.
Once you step into it, you will need to follow the rules of the civilization of gods. Rules, laws, energy, environment... everything will be rewritten.
Another example is the ancient god civilization.
Beyond that territory, the starry sky was no longer what it used to be. The power of civilization radiated outwards, completely influencing and shaping even the cosmic environment beyond the plane of existence.
And similar situations are far from isolated incidents in the countless heavens and myriad worlds.
After all, the myriad realms and worlds are truly infinite, and the possibilities within them are naturally terrifyingly high.
That is why only by reaching the Morning Star level can one be considered to have the initial qualifications to travel through the endless heavens and myriad worlds.
Note that this is only a preliminary qualification.
Because the vast majority of Morning Star wizards will still dutifully use interdimensional teleportation arrays.
Very few people dare to traverse the heavens on their own, not only because their travel speed is not fast, but also because they may encounter all sorts of unknown risks.
However, if one wishes to do what Hercules did, without relying on a teleportation system, and directly traverse endless realms to reach the Pano plane...
Perhaps only those at the Dawn Star Realm barely possess such qualifications.
Even within the Morning Star Realm, they would be an absolute minority.
In Lynn's view, that Hercules was probably only one step away from the Radiant Moon level.
Of course, this is undoubtedly a good thing for Lynn.
After all, the stronger Hercules is, the higher his chances of winning in this interplane war in the Pano plane, and the less pressure he will have to bear.
This is precisely why Lynn still chose to take a risky move after the blue and white star completely sealed off the Pano plane.
"However, although the situation is still full of unknowns, at least the Blue and White Stars had undergone that strange change..."
"My plan may not have failed."
Lynn muttered to himself.
On the other hand, Wizard Alder may have already obtained the calibrated coordinates of the Pano plane star chart.
For Hercules, a star of the highest order, many things don't require reminders from others.
When the astrological coordinates are sometimes accurate and sometimes inaccurate, or constantly shifting, the other party will naturally notice the anomaly and will inevitably have their own way of dealing with it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so arrogant as to claim that he would travel across countless worlds in his physical body to come here!
What Lynn really needed to do was not much; he only needed to send precise coordinates occasionally at key moments.
Recalibrate every so often.
In other words, even if one is now in danger and has willingly stepped into the trap set by the other party, at least the core objective of this adventure has most likely been achieved.
Thinking of this, Lynn's tense mind relaxed a little.
Of course, it's only a few points.
Because Lynn knew very well that the gods had gone to such great lengths to send them to this blue and white star, it was definitely not just for them to "see the scenery".
"It is now confirmed that there is a connection between Sky City and the Civilization of the Gods..." "In other words, all the information I have in Sky City has most likely fallen into the eyes of the Civilization of the Gods."
"In that case, shouldn't the simplest method be to directly gather powerful experts to surround and kill me?"
Lynn's eyes were deep and unfathomable as he slowly lowered his head to look at the blue and white earth beneath his feet.
The surface of the entire star was incredibly hard. Stepping on it felt like walking on a huge blue and white marble, cold, desolate, and empty, like a star that had been dead for countless years.
"The number of legendary powerhouses in the Ocean Kingdom is certainly not small."
"And I have only a handful of true Morning Star Wizards with me on this trip..."
"But instead of directly surrounding and killing me, the lord, they went to great lengths to bring us here..."
Thinking of this, Lynn's vigilance not only did not lessen, but intensified.
Because often, the more complex the layout, the more dangerous the hidden purpose.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind, and it was none other than the wizard Sean.
"My lord, the blue and white star beneath our feet seems to be shrinking?"
At this moment, Wizard Sean and Lord Warren arrived side by side.
Just now, the two of them, along with a group of Morning Star Wizards and Level 3 Archmages, had explored the surrounding area for a while.
However, all that could be seen was a monotonous and lifeless blue and white.
There are no flowers, trees, mountains, rivers, or even the most basic lakes and highlands.
The entire blue and white star resembled a giant blue crystal ball that had been polished to its extreme—smooth, flat, and lifeless.
Even more strangely, as the exploration continued, the group vaguely sensed that the blue-white star seemed to be slowly shrinking.
Of course, no one could be completely sure, since everyone was currently suppressed on the surface of the star and unable to take off.
It cannot be separated from the "reference" of the star itself.
If one could fly high into the sky, then by simply moving slightly away from this blue and white star, one could clearly determine whether it was shrinking.
But unfortunately, they can't do that, so at this moment, they can only rely on the most primitive observation and speculation.
Upon hearing this, Lynn frowned slightly, and then subconsciously raised his hand and gently rubbed his brow.
After a moment, he slowly spoke:
"Pass on my order: everyone, disperse to the maximum extent possible in all directions, until you can barely see each other."
Since it's impossible to fly away from the blue and white star for observation, we can only use this most rudimentary method: to forcibly determine whether the entire star is shrinking by observing the changes in the distance between the people.
Wizard Sean and Lord Warren had no objections upon hearing this.
After all, this is indeed the only feasible solution at the moment.
However, it is worth mentioning that...
When Sean saw Lynn unconsciously rubbing his brow, his beautiful, deep eyes flickered almost imperceptibly for a moment.
A strange emotion seemed to flash across the depths of that gaze, but that change disappeared too quickly, almost in an instant.
In addition, the suppression of the blue and white stars is extremely severe, and everyone's mental power is bound to a very small area around them.
Even Lynn could only barely manage to surround himself with his mental energy at this moment.
Therefore, he did not immediately notice Sean's fleeting change in expression.
....................................
Time passed slowly, and the wizards gradually dispersed according to Lynn's orders.
From a distance, it looks like tiny beads scattered across a vast expanse of blue and white stars.
The gazes of the crowd, like an invisible thread, connected these "beads" together.
In this way, one can observe whether the blue and white stars underfoot have changed; at the same time, one can detect any abnormalities immediately if someone is in danger.
As time went on, the changes in the blue and white star beneath their feet finally confirmed Sean Wizard's earlier guess.
The wizards' figures, which were originally only vaguely outlined, are now slowly becoming clearer.
Although the change is not significant, it is enough to illustrate the point: this blue-white star is indeed shrinking.
For a moment, the eyes of many level-three great wizards flickered slightly.
Since the blue and white stars are shrinking, does that mean that when they shrink to a certain limit, everyone will be able to break free from their constraints and leave on their own?
But neither Lynn nor Sean and the other Morning Star wizards had such naive ideas.
The reason is simple: the shrinking of stars does not mean a weakening of the binding force.
On the contrary, when the volume is reduced, its mass and sense of oppression will become even more concentrated.
At that time, the terrifying suction force that enveloped everyone will probably only become more frightening.
Moreover, given the enormous cost the divine civilizations paid to send them here, how could they have simply trapped them here?
There must be a deeper purpose behind this.
And at that very moment.
Suddenly, an urgent mental fluctuation came from a great distance.
In an instant, the expressions of the many Morning Star Wizards in the very center changed.
Lynn immediately looked up in the direction from which the message came.
"Fall back!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Lynn gave the order, and the numerous figures that had been scattered across the blue and white stars quickly converged towards the center.
Soon, the group regrouped, and from a distance, it looked like a long dragon that had been reassembled.
Then, led by Lynn and Sean, the group quickly headed in the direction from which the message had come.
Since the Morning Star Wizard was always in the center of the group, the ones scattered on the outermost sides were mostly level three archmages.
Therefore, at this moment, everyone finally arrived at the very edge of the area previously explored by the team.
The urgent message just now came from here.
However, by the time everyone arrived, there was no need for Wizard Plant and Wizard Garrot to inquire about the situation anymore.
Because at this moment, all the Morning Star Wizards have seen with their own eyes what this so-called "anomaly" really is.
The landscape ahead had changed.
As the blue and white stars beneath their feet continued to shrink, the once flat and almost lifeless land began to bulge out one after another.
But those were not ordinary rocks; they were enormous blue and white crystals.
The crystal surface is smooth and flat, without any roughness of natural rocks. It even gives people an extremely neat and orderly feeling, as if all of this was not formed naturally, but was carefully shaped in advance by some entity.
"go!"
Lynn's eyes darkened, and he led his men forward. As they drew closer, the scene ahead finally became completely clear.
The area of blue and white crystals that rose up looked like a huge, stepped plaza. The deeper one went, the higher the terrain became, like a massive platform that kept stacking itself upwards.
Each "step" was incredibly vast, like a small city, and the square was already packed with countless figures!
Looking around, all that could be seen were believers of the various gods, their numbers so great that they seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see.
At the highest point, a figure stood quietly, but the distance was too great for the face to be clearly seen.
But it was clear that the other party slowly raised his hand and gently beckoned towards Lynn and the others.
The movements were incredibly natural, as if they were not mortal enemies meeting, but rather old friends who had not seen each other for a long time, greeting each other calmly.
Seeing this, Lynn's eyes turned slightly cold.
"Playing tricks..."
He sneered inwardly, then subconsciously raised his hand and gently rubbed his brow.
Then, leading the group behind him, he headed straight for the square. (End of Chapter)
