He watched as the stone platform slowly sank. Beneath the stone platform was a bottomless abyss. There was no light in the deep hole below. Even his gaze seemed to be devoured.
As the stone platform descended, the figure of the girl lying on the stone platform gradually became blurry.
Zhou Wen was sizing up the bottomless pit below when he suddenly saw the girl open her eyes and smile strangely at him. She opened her mouth as though she was saying something.
However, Zhou Wen didn't hear anything, nor did he know what she was saying.
Zhou Wen couldn't help but tremble. The girl and the stone platform had already sunk into the bottomless abyss and were nowhere to be seen.
Was that an illusion? Zhou Wen wasn't sure if he had really seen the girl open her eyes and speak.
However, Zhou Wen remembered the pair of silver pupils and the strange smile very clearly.
It shouldn't be an illusion, right? Zhou Wen tried his best to recall the girl's lips, trying to guess what she was saying.
However, before Zhou Wen could think carefully, it was as though there was an earthquake. The entire building collapsed. The seven Devils glared at Zhou Wen and jumped into the bottomless abyss. In the blink of an eye, the seven Devils vanished.
Zhou Wen and Grim Demon didn't dare take the risk of jumping down. All they could do was escape the building. Not long after they left, the building completely collapsed as though it had been sucked into a bottomless abyss. Soon, even the ruins vanished. The bottomless abyss-like cave vanished.
The spot where the building was had turned into a pit. Soon, flowers that didn't age or die grew in the pit as though the building and the bottomless abyss had never existed.
"Grim Demon, did you see the girl open her eyes just now?" Zhou Wen asked Grim Demon.
"No, when did she open her eyes?" Grim Demon asked in puzzlement.
"Not long after the stone platform sank into the hole and was about to fade into the darkness, she seemed to open her eyes and say something. Didn't you see it?" Zhou Wen recounted in detail.
"Did you see wrongly? I stared at her from beginning to end. Until she disappeared, I didn't see her open her eyes, much less say a word, "Grim Demon said with certainty.
Zhou Wen frowned in silence. Although he felt a little dazed at that instant, as though he was dreaming, his brain still remembered it very clearly. It was unlikely that he had seen wrongly.
Grim Demon didn't see it, so Zhou Wen didn't ask further. He looked at Demonic Neonate in his arms. She was still sleeping, looking very soundly. Her lips were still sucking on her thumb.
"We have to think of a way to return." Zhou Wen looked around, hoping to find a way to return to Earth.
Zhou Wen had been to the dimension once before, but with the ice maiden leading the way, he knew how to return. However, he didn't know how to return now.
"I think we should stay here and wait for His Excellency to wake up. It might be more dangerous to run around in such a place," Grim Demon said.
Zhou Wen naturally knew that Grim Demon was right, but who knew when Demonic Neonate would wake up.
If Demonic Neonate was really evolving, according to Zhou Wen's previous experience, the higher the level of a Companion Beast, the longer it took for it to evolve. The time it took for a Companion Beast to advance to the Terror grade was considered short.
If it was long, it might even take a few months. Zhou Wen couldn't wait and do nothing.
There was still an endless sea of flowers around him. Apart from that, there was nothing else. Apart from flowers, there was no vitality in the world.
The vitality of the flowers was very strange to begin with. They looked full of vitality, but they also had a deathly aura that resembled ash.
"Grim Demon, what else do you know about the Land of the Fallen?" Zhou Wen asked Grim Demon.
"I don't think so … Oh right … I seem to remember hearing an angel say … The Land of the Fallen is also called Paradise Lost … It's a place where there's eternal misfortune and no happiness …" Grim Demon said as he tried his best to recall.
When Zhou Wen heard the words "Paradise Lost," he thought of a mythical epic called "Paradise Lost." The story told in it was related to Satan.
After Satan was defeated, he was sent to hell by God, but Satan wasn't willing to accept defeat. He waited for an opportunity to take revenge.
Once, Satan finally found an opportunity to transform into a snake and enter the Garden of Eden. He tempted Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. In the end, Adam and Eve were chased out of the Garden of Eden.
This was only a mythical epic. Even if the Garden of Eden really existed, it was hard to say if there were Adam and Eve.
"Is Sweetie living in the Garden of Eden?" Zhou Wen suddenly thought of Tiantian, but he couldn't connect Tiantian's image with the omnipotent God.
Grim Demon recalled some information he had heard, but it wasn't of any help to Zhou Wen and company's present situation. He still couldn't think of a way to leave.
"Hell is a prison used to imprison devils. Even in the dimension, this is an extremely special place. It's definitely not that easy to leave this place. Let's wait for His Excellency to wake up before making any plans." Grim Demon tried his best to persuade Zhou Wen not to act rashly.
Zhou Wen wasn't afraid of loneliness. It wasn't a problem to stay here for a few years, but something could happen in Guide City at any time. Zhou Wen was afraid that Li Xuan and company wouldn't be able to handle it.
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Wen walked in a direction with Demonic Neonate in his arms. He decided to give it another try.
However, the moment Zhou Wen walked, he discovered something very magical. When he walked forward, the flowers in front of him automatically parted and made way.
These flowers can move on their own? Then why haven't I seen them move before? Zhou Wen attempted to walk in another direction.
However, no matter which direction Zhou Wen walked in, the flowers in front of him would automatically make way as though they were avoiding him.
Zhou Wen glanced at Demonic Neonate in his arms and said to Grim Demon, "Walk in the other direction."
Grim Demon walked in another direction, but the flowers didn't make way for him.
"Catch." Zhou Wen handed Demonic Neonate to Grim Demon and gave it a try himself. The outcome was the same as Grim Demon's. The flowers didn't make way for him.
Now, it was very obvious that the flowers were making way for Demonic Neonate.
This didn't happen when I summoned Demonic Neonate previously. From the looks of it, it's because Demonic Neonate ate that gem. Zhou Wen thought for a moment before carrying Demonic Neonate and continuing walking forward.
Wherever Zhou Wen, or rather, Demonic Neonate, went, the flowers would make way, forming a flower path. Zhou Wen walked along the flower path.
After walking for a short while, Zhou Wen and Grim Demon were surprised to discover that they had reached the end of the sea of flowers. In the distance, they could see a continuous mountain range.
At the foot of the mountain, there was smoke curling up. A small city was located at the foot of the mountain.
