The ruins were a vast expanse of land, not a closed place as they had guessed at first. Nangong Wuyue looked at the endless sea of clouds and the high sky. The siren's curiosity was burning. "Have you explored the border of this place? Does it have a border? "
"Not yet, but there must be a border here." Hessiana shook her head. "The sea of clouds gets thicker the further you go, and there's a very strange fog rising from the clouds. Flying in the fog is very exhausting. I guess that's the barrier of the alternate dimension. Also, if you go down the mountain, you will encounter a thick fog. If you force your way through the fog, you will see a cliff. I didn't dare to jump down … "
It seemed that the alternate dimension had a border, but the environment near the border was so strange that even the powerful vampires could not get close enough to see what was going on. Hao Ren decided to go to the most eye-catching temple in the clouds in the distance to see what was going on. But first, he looked at Vivian worriedly. "Are you okay?"
Vivian had been acting a little strange since the beginning. The special energy in the alternate dimension seemed to have an effect on her. She, who was usually calm and indifferent, showed signs of anxiety and impulsiveness from time to time. But she could not tell what was going on. She could only shake her head when she heard Hao Ren's concern. "I'm okay … I just need to control my emotions."
Nangong Wuyue looked at Vivian, puzzled. "What's going on?"
"I don't know. I just instinctively hate the atmosphere here. It must have something to do with my amnesia." Vivian knocked her forehead, looking distressed. "I can't remember where I've encountered an environment similar to this, but I'm sure nothing good happened at that time …" She then smiled at Hao Ren. "Don't worry, I've encountered similar situations before. I was inexplicably allergic to something, and after thinking for a long time, I remembered some grudge from thousands of years ago. It's not like you don't know my amnesia. I'll go back and think about it. I'll let you know when I figure something out. "
Hao Ren saw that Vivian looked calm and relaxed. He pointed to the temple in the clouds in the distance and said, "Let's go there first? Do we still have to fly there? "
Vivian instinctively spread her wings and wanted to fly with him. Just as Hao Ren was about to cooperate, he suddenly realized something. He saw Hessiana's eyes suddenly sharpening. She was baring her fangs and hissing threateningly as she glared at them. Hao Ren broke out in a cold sweat. He was convinced that if he hugged Vivian in front of the lady, she would cut him into 700 pieces, sprinkle them with cumin, soy sauce, and vinegar for two months, and then feed him 100 grams of them with type B blood three times a day. To be honest, he was pretty good at imagining things in such a short amount of time. It was obvious that he had the experience of eating pickled vegetables for half a month after spending too much money in college.
"You can walk through the clouds, just be careful not to fall into them." Hessiana stood between Vivian and Hao Ren, pointing at the sea of clouds in the distance. "Do you see those glowing paths? That should be something made by the ancient Olympian family. It blends with the clouds, but it's actually a path. Don't step on it. No one knows what will happen if you fall. "
Only then did Hao Ren notice that there were some glowing paths hidden in the sea of clouds. They blended with the surrounding clouds, emitting a faint light, and connected to the distant temple in the clouds. There were many forks in the middle that led to other directions. They should have led to other temples in the past, but now there was only one main path. Vivian folded her wings and looked at the glowing paths for a long time. Finally, she clapped her hands. "Oh, yes, Zeus did make these cloud paths. Their houses are all built in the sky, and they are connected to each other by this kind of cloud walkway. Aiya, it's so classy. Every day, there are people falling from the top. Zeus himself fell five or six times. Every time he fell into a human village, he would climb out of the pit and say very seriously, 'I came down to inspect the world' … "
Hao Ren said, "… So what was the point of building this thing?! And why didn't they add a railing? "
"It looks good. It doesn't look good with a railing. Besides, they could fly back up if they fell anyway. Why would they care? In fact, most of the people who fell would fly back up halfway. Only Zeus was slow. He was too old, and he was used to walking absent-mindedly. "Vivian did not hesitate to reveal the secret of the Olympian family." It's not just the Olympian family. Those in Northern Europe and Egypt who pretended to be gods also had the same problem. They liked to build their houses inexplicably just to look good, look cool, and make people think they were awesome. In other words, they were just showing off. After being in awe for hundreds or thousands of years, they lost their minds and felt that they were letting down their title if they didn't live in the sky. Unfortunately, they all died in the end. Actually, they were a bunch of amusing jokers. "
Hao Ren was speechless.
They wiped their cold sweat as they stepped on the cloud trail towards the distant temple in the sky. When they stepped on the shimmering clouds, Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief. This thing could really stand on. Although it was only a layer of light, it felt no different from standing on flat ground. He walked for a while and could not help but turn his head to look at Lily. "Can you stop tugging? It's very troublesome to walk like this … "
Lily followed Hao Ren and did not let go of his clothes. To maintain her balance, she even revealed her tail. Anyway, everyone knew that she was a werewolf. She was not worried that Zeon or Hessiana would rush up and bite her. Hao Ren looked at the girl's trembling tail and could not help but be curious. "Are you afraid of heights? That can't be. You even dared to hang on the outside of the plane during the Republic of China … "
The fur on Lily's tail stood up. "I'm not afraid of heights … It's just that I don't feel safe stepping on this thing! Back then, there was a place that built a glass bridge and someone fell from it — it was me! They were missing a piece of glass, I didn't see it … "
Nangong Wuyue was surprised. "What kind of place could have such a low-level accident? Why haven't I heard of it? "
Lily looked like she was about to cry. "… The bridge wasn't finished yet. I sneaked in to see what was going on. But I missed my step and fell. It was a dry bridge. Below it was a half-paved road. I fell straight into the mixer and almost got cement poured into the road. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and jumped out when no one was looking. Otherwise, you would have seen me in the news a few years ago. Since that day, I've been traumatized. It's not safe to walk on this transparent thing. "
Hao Ren sighed and said, "Then you can continue to pull it."
The husky's past was colorful enough.
Vivian walked beside Hao Ren as she carefully observed the scenery in the space. She also searched for relevant information from her unreliable memory. She could already tell that the sky temple in the distance was vaguely familiar, but she could not remember which old friend it belonged to. The mountain behind her reminded her of Mount Olympus — the "other" Mount Olympus.
It was not the same as the real Mount Olympus on Earth.
"There were many wonders created by magic during the Mythological Era. Most of them were related to dimensional anomalies," Vivian explained some ancient knowledge. "Some of them were built for safety, to prevent being attacked, some for peace and quiet, and some were addicted to the game and felt that they should build their own divine realm. Whatever the reason, the otherworldlings built a lot of dwellings that floated on the edge of the real world. They were a bit like the Shadowy Divide, but the security was not as tight. Mount Olympus, where Zeus lived, was such a place. Part of it floated above Mount Olympus in the real world, and the other part was in an alternate dimension. After the collapse of the Mythological Era, most of the abodes in the different dimensions had collapsed, but now it seemed that some had survived. This place looked like a place near the main peak of Olympus, but the scenery was a little distorted, probably due to some kind of mutation after the collapse of the dimension. Of course, it's also possible that my memory is faulty. "
As Vivian explained along the way, they finally arrived at the foot of the cloud temple.
