No one knew if Sinehowze had anything to do with Xin Ji.
But since Angor didn't drink her soup, he decided to put the matter aside for the time being. He was more concerned about the fact that the time was almost up.
Before he knew it, the hourglass was coming to an end.
What would happen to the garden when the time came? Would the barrier in the sky really open when the time was up? If the barrier really opened, the water pressure from the sky would surely destroy the world.
Alan quickly noticed Angor's absent-mindedness.
"I think I need to go now. As for the exit, I don't think it's under our feet. It's up in the sky."
Not only did he tell Alan, but he also told Hermes and Keely about it.
He put a hand on Alan's shoulder and whispered, "I hope you can leave the garden safely."
With that, he released a mist illusion to cover everyone, put away Gondola, and ejected his soul from his body to leave the place.
The hint he gave Hermes was a reward for opening the way. As for what they should do after that, it was up to him to decide.
However, Hermes and Alan knew that Angor was going to leave, so they quickly calmed down. Sinehowze, on the other hand, didn't know what was going on, so she thought they were fighting.
When the illusion disappeared, Gondola and Angor were nowhere to be seen.
"Ladies, I think it's time for us to split up." Hermes spoke to Sinehowze while she was still pondering the question.
…
This time, Angor didn't drink the witch's soup. He calculated the time in his heart. If there were no accidents, he should be able to return to the membrane before the vitality of his body decreased.
Although he was fast, he still had to slow down when he reached the sky. There were too many flying fishes in the sky, and Angor learned his lesson from last time. This time, he decided to pass through the school of fishes to avoid the same situation.
As he passed through the school of fish, the hourglass had already begun to count down.
Angor was also counting down in his mind. He wanted to know if the barrier would break when the time was up.
When the last bit of sand fell into the bottle, Angor's heart tightened.
However, under the high pressure, no abnormalities appeared.
The membrane did not break, and the world did not change at all. With a puzzled look, he flew to the barrier.
He reached out and touched the membrane.
This time, he didn't receive any information, but his hand naturally passed through the membrane and touched the huge body of water behind it.
"Can we pass through now?"
He took out a strange top hat with a smiley face on it from his bracelet. The hat was enchanted with a purifying field, which could create a barrier underwater.
He put on the hat and dashed through the barrier, dragging his body with him.
As Angor was surrounded by the water, an emotionless voice echoed in everyone's ears.
"The sacrifice has officially begun. The current world will enter the countdown to its destruction. Please move to the Sea of Purification."
While everyone was still in a daze, a golden countdown appeared in the sky: 01: 59.
As long as they raised their heads, everyone could see the bright countdown. A minute later, the countdown changed. It was now. Everyone finally realized what was going on. Did the voice mean that the world they were in would be destroyed in two hours, and they had to find the so-called "Sea of Purification" to survive?
But where was the "Sea of Purification"? No one knew.
While everyone was frantically searching for the Sea of Purification, Angor was swaying left and right with the current.
He naturally heard the cold voice that resounded through the world. He also believed that he might have arrived at the so-called Sea of Purification, but where should he go next?
When he couldn't find his way, he looked down to check the world outside the barrier. But he noticed something strange.
He couldn't see the school of fish or the white clouds below. Instead, he saw endless stars and a dim moon.
It was as if the world had been turned upside down. The barrier was no longer a barrier, but a sea under the night sky.
It was as if the world he saw in the beginning had disappeared.
He thought about it and slowly floated upward. He wanted to see if he was above the water or outside the barrier again.
It didn't take him long to reach the surface of the sea. Instead of seeing the white clouds and flying fish, he saw the stars and the moon.
"So the Sea of Purification isn't the same as the original world? I can't go back after coming here? "
Angor flew out of the water and tried to check his surroundings. However, they were surrounded by the vast sea, and they couldn't see anything clearly.
He decided to fly higher to see if there was a similar "barrier" in the sky. Two minutes later, Angor felt his heart palpitating. He knew that something bad would happen if he kept going higher.
He trusted his intuition.
Besides, there were no dangerous flying fish in the sky. Angor believed that Floating Mech City wouldn't use the same trick twice. After looking around for a while, he returned to the Sea of Purification.
Since he couldn't go higher, should he go to the bottom of the sea?
He didn't know if he should look for an exit or a continent on the surface. Personally, he preferred to check the bottom of the sea. After all, according to Dodoro's prophecy, he appeared at the bottom of the sea somewhere. As for whether he was at the bottom of the Sea of Purification or not, he didn't know.
He looked at the dark, bottomless sea and decided to dive in.
Not long after he reached the bottom, he saw a school of fish coming his way. Instinctively, he tried to use Infinite Reticence to avoid them. But as soon as he did, he felt something bumping into his back.
When he looked back, a dark gray dolphin had appeared behind him without him noticing.
Angor's heart skipped a beat. He prepared to use a cantrip. But when the dolphin noticed that it bumped into something strange, it quickly looked at him.
Infinite Reticence was used to weaken one's presence, not to eliminate it. Since the dolphin already bumped into him, it wasn't hard for it to notice him.
The dolphin circled around Angor several times in a friendly manner.
The look in its eyes was very pure, and it was not as vicious as the flying fish outside the membrane.
A moment later, the dolphin suddenly swam toward Angor and began to rub its tail against his body.
Angor didn't know what to say.
It didn't take him long to figure out that the dolphin was just a normal animal.
Angor didn't want to get into a fight with the dolphin. He sent a stream of nightmare aura into the dolphin's head, which made it look like it was in a trance. After that, it swam away.
He kept going down and saw more and more schools of fish around him, and there were more types of them. Also, he didn't think any of them were supernatural creatures.
So the Sea of Purification was just a normal ocean? Or maybe the danger didn't come from the fish?
While Angor was pondering, he didn't know that the floating fish had already swam into the Sea of Purification after touching the barrier. Some of them were giant whales surrounded by energy.
The deeper he went, the darker the darkness became. When he reached about 300 meters deep, he couldn't see any light at all.
In the complete darkness, Angor also felt a sense of insecurity and … endless loneliness.
The deeper he went, the lonelier he felt.
He didn't know any night vision spells, so he could only use Illuminate to illuminate the area.
When he cast Illuminate, it only illuminated an area several meters around him.
Surrounded by the boundless ocean currents, in the dark underwater world, this faint light was weak and trembling, as if it would be extinguished at any moment. However, the light dispelled most of the loneliness in his heart.
As creatures that followed the light, the school of fish came and surrounded Angor.
Without their ferocious aura, they looked much cuter.
Following the school of fish, Angor went deeper into the seemingly endless sea.
He didn't know how long he stayed in the water, but he soon saw a giant whale over 30 meters long and an unknown school of fish fighting fiercely. However, the fish didn't seem interested in him at all. Angor didn't even need to use cantrips to defeat them. He could easily defeat them with his low-tiered alchemy items.
When he was about 3,000 meters under the sea, he saw a rocky slope with different heights. He also saw something shining on one side of the slope.
He thought it was the natural light of some fish, but it wasn't. When he swam closer, he saw a strange underwater building.
It was a round, black fortress with seaweed covering the roof, as well as beautiful seashells and corals.
There was a round window at the center of the fortress.
The light he discovered was coming from the window.
"There's a door and a window … This isn't a building made by fish. Is there some kind of intelligent creature under the sea?" Puzzled, Angor canceled Illuminate and activated Infinite Reticence to slowly approach the fortress.
However, when he was less than a hundred meters away from the fortress, a strange creature rushed out and threw a harpoon at him, completely ignoring his invisibility.
Before he could react, the harpoon behind him suddenly changed its direction. It was still aiming at him, and it did not miss its target.
His Infinite Reticence didn't work again.
However, he did not have time to find out why. He noticed that the strange creature contained energy that was no weaker than the flying fish outside the membrane. Also, the harpoon it threw seemed to be equipped with an automatic aiming device. No matter how he tried to dodge, the harpoon would hit him accurately and attack automatically.
