A group of lively children surrounded the cat lady, chattering incessantly. What surprised us was that the cat lady didn't seem to panic at all. Not only could she deal with the children's questions in an orderly manner, but at the critical moment, she could even burst out with something that seemed to be a teacher's authority.
It seemed that no matter how weak a character was normally, they would still be able to perform unexpectedly well in their own domain. Just look at Lin, the Ten Thousand Year Old Taker, wasn't she also full of dignity after becoming a Dragon God?
Come to think of it, Raby didn't look like a teacher and students when he was with the kids. Instead, he looked more like a senior sister playing with her juniors. This was due to the cat lady's pitiful height. She was only slightly more than 1.4 meters tall when she stood on her tiptoes and that was because she was a cat with her ears on top of her head. You have to factor the length of her ears into her height … To be honest, Pandora and Visca were quite envious of her cat ears. If everything went well, the cat lady might be the only hope for her two short sisters to grow taller.
After sending the noisy kids away, Raby ran back while blushing. He looked a little embarrassed. He pinched the kid's ear while chuckling and said happily, "Wow, I didn't know that you're so powerful!"
"Ah!" Raby's ear was pinched before he could react. He let out a soft cry like a kitten. He shrunk his neck and covered his head with his hands, "Don't move your ear … it's itchy."
"She has the same sensitivity as Blue," Lin Xue touched my arm, "But Blue bites while this cat is much more timid."
The cat lady's ears were obviously sensitive. She immediately emphasized to Lin Xue, "My name is Raby, I'm not a cat."
"She doesn't just teach the kids here," Liliana explained, "She teaches the kids in the morning and teaches the townspeople how to read and write in the afternoon. There are too many illiterate people here. Those who go out to preach are illiterate. You must know that most of the time, the preachers should represent the intellectual class. The situation here is the opposite. "
Lin Xue shrugged. "This gives me a sense of deja vu of a mountain village teacher. Hmm? Is that … a half-dragon? "
"Where?" Sha Jina was the first to call out. Lin Xue pointed her finger. Following her finger, we indeed saw three people standing on a stone platform not far from us, conversing in low voices. There were two males and one female. Even though they didn't look special, the thick scaly long tail behind them was obviously a unique characteristic of the draconians. Sha Jina was a person of action like Shallow Shallow. She immediately called out from afar, "Hey! This way! "
The three Half-Dragon townsfolk looked at him strangely, and then they were all stunned.
Shakina quickly ran over. She was very happy to meet her kin here. However, in contrast to her elation, the three draconians who were chatting just now suddenly looked at each other and nervously took half a step back, revealing a cautious and uneasy look.
"Ah, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong with my body? " Sha Jina looked at herself strangely. Everything was normal. The only thing that she felt awkward about was that she temporarily left her huge backpack in the Town Hall. After all, it was inconvenient to carry such a huge backpack around. However, this didn't seem to be the main point. The three of her kin in front of her suddenly became nervous because of something else. Just as she was puzzled, the only female among the three unfamiliar draconians suddenly spoke carefully, "Excuse me … Are you Madam Sha Jina or Madam Sona?"
"Huh?" Not only Sha Jina, even Sona who ran over was stunned. The two of them exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
"Have you forgotten about it?" I patted Sha Jina's shoulder and pointed at Lynn who was absent-minded. "Spokesperson of God, the two of you are now the prophets of all draconians in the world. Lynn's revelation has already descended on the heads of all draconians."
Sha Jina dragged out her voice, "Oh — —" Her reaction was slow. The three draconians next to her rubbed their hands nervously. One of them pointed at the huge shield on Sha Jina and Sona's back and said, "We saw this token in our illusion. This is the sign of our tribe's revival … Oh my god, we thought it was an illusion and were just discussing this matter."
Although Sha Jina and Sona were already known as the Spokesperson of the Dragon God, they still weren't mentally prepared. At this moment, they could only laugh dryly before pointing at Lynn who was still absent-minded and said, "This is our tribe's God."
In an instant, the surroundings became silent. Sensing that their gazes were focused on her, Lynn finally snapped back from her daze. Looking at the three stunned draconians in front of her, she smiled foolishly and said softly, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Cough cough, let's discuss the details later." Sha Jina also knew how the Dragon God that she had just met looked like. She immediately coughed twice to divert the attention of the three tribesmen, "Are there any other draconians nearby?"
"There are quite a few," the female draconian immediately replied, "There are a total of over a hundred tribesmen in the town. All of them were exiled here to mine together. Everyone should be at the stone quarry on the east side of the mine now. The town needs a lot of stone to rebuild. The draconians are strong and they have the Crow God …"
Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly stopped as a hint of awkwardness and uneasiness flashed across her face. Looking at Sha Jina and Sona's expression, she said hesitantly, "The draconians here believe in the Crow God … We … We didn't know at that time …"
"Oh, you're worried about that," Sha Jina nodded in understanding, "It's okay, the Dragon God doesn't mind." As she said that, she turned her head and said to Lynn, "The draconians here have already been baptized by the Crow God Denomination. It's okay, right?"
Lynn thought for a while and squatted down to discuss with the little crow, Medivh, who was digging a hole on the ground, "Hey, let me discuss something with you. The draconians among your Crow God Denomination believers have to collectively believe in the Dragon God. It's too troublesome to baptize them one by one. Why don't you baptize these believers in the future and count it as the Dragon God Denomination's initiation ceremony? This way, the Dragon God Denomination can save a lot of trouble. "
The little crow was busy digging the soil. She found two shiny stone beads and carefully put them in her pocket. Then she looked up and nodded happily. "Caw! Caw! Caw! Sure! "Then, she solemnly instructed Vanilla," When the draconians are baptized, it's considered as the Dragon God's baptism. "
We had long been used to the gods' unreliability, but the five draconians, including Sha Jina and the others, as well as Vanilla and Rabi, couldn't adapt to this setting at all. All of them were dumbfounded as if their worldview had collapsed. Liliana carelessly added to the chaos with a smile, "This is the legendary package service. Once you join the Crow God Denomination, you can register as a Dragon God member for free. At the same time, I've also added a few additional value-added items. The Crow God Denomination members can receive three months of Life Denomination experience service every year. At the same time, believers who believe in the Crow God and the Goddess of Life can enjoy the explosive discount of a 20% increase in the effectiveness of their prayers. Crow God Denomination believers can send spiritual messages to the Goddess of Life free of charge … Cough cough, free of spiritual consumption. Ah, Sha Jina and Sona, you can also add your services to the list. In the future, Dragon God believers can receive three lottery chances every month when they pray to the Crow God. After joining the denomination, the number of active days they pray every day will be counted, and the active days can be accumulated into a level. High-level believers will get two more lottery chances every month. Crow God believers have a chance to receive the Dragon God's blessing, while Dragon God believers have a chance to receive the Crow God's blessing.
Sha Jina and Sona were completely dumbfounded. Their mouths were agape for a long time before they could say a word, "… Huh?"
I pondered for a long time before I finally realized, "You are using God as a tool for China!"
"You must maintain the necessary respect for God," Liliana said with a serious expression. Then, she slapped her hand.
"Erm … Erm, we need to go to the stone quarry to meet the other tribesmen." Sona had a strange expression on her face as she took half a step back as if she was trying to keep a distance from a group of lunatics. After receiving Lin's nod, they led the three draconians and disappeared without a trace.
After that, my older sister and I formed an allied army and taught a lesson to Lina, that mouth of a person, a lesson.
We stayed in the 'Holy Capital' for three days, waiting for the floating river to connect to the mother continent. The South was indeed a very boring place. The land was barren, the population was sparse, and there wasn't any scenery worthy of our interest. Even the energetic Shallow shallow lost interest in this place after a day out. There was only the Gobi Desert everywhere. Within a straight line of a thousand kilometers, there were only rocks and sand as well as some dilapidated villages and towns. None of them could bring a good mood. So, we simply stayed in the town and watched how Liliana taught her new disciples: Vanilla, Sha Jina, and Sona.
The Crow God Sect had already laid its foundation. Although it wasn't even in its embryonic form, they already had the initial core believers. The power of the Crow God was stabilized in these believers, which meant that a religion had the foundation to develop and grow. With Liliana's help, the Crow God Sect established a leadership with the Crow God as their ultimate idol, Pope as their spiritual leader, and several High Priests (also known as Archbishops. The Crow God Sect's Ceremony Master and Religious Affairs Officer were unified) as their senior leaders. Below them, there were Bishops and Priests of various levels, as well as missionaries and friars, and priests stationed in small settlements. This was basically the organizational structure of every religion. At most, the name would be different. However, the Crow God Sect was very different from the common religions on Earth. That was …
The Crow God Sect allowed its believers to believe in as many gods as they wanted. It wouldn't be a problem even if you were baptized by seventeen or eighteen gods at once, as long as you could keep up with the pre-meal prayers. Similarly, the Church of the Goddess of Life and the Dragon God Sect pursued the same policy.
Liliana had finally achieved her ambition: to establish a cooperative network of interfaith prayer and blessings from different gods among the three major religions. Her next step was probably to persuade Vanilla and the other rookies, Pope, to open up a membership point system among believers … I had to stop her quickly!
Speaking of Vanilla, that child had also made great progress. Although her personality was still cautious, gentle, and obedient, she was definitely much more mature than before. She was working hard to learn how to become a qualified religious leader. At the very least, she could figure out what she needed to do. In fact, there were many things that she could do very well without anyone teaching her: using the Crow God's power to help others, protect believers, and do more good deeds. These were all things that she needed to do now. Even a black-bellied person like Liliana could do these things, let alone the kind-hearted Vanilla.
In fact, in the Crow God Sect's area of influence, Vanilla had unimaginable prestige and popularity. This kind and gentle little girl was quite good at making others feel good about her. She was always willing to help others, and she would always do it from the bottom of her heart. These things just happened to be what a spiritual leader should do. Perhaps she would never be able to become a leader in terms of authority and aura, but she could make herself a spiritual guide that her believers truly wanted to protect and support. In Liliana's words, this was also a successful pope, although it was in a different way from hers.
Together with Vanilla, Sangina and Sona had also begun to learn about religious matters. The two dracon girls were much more clumsy. First, they were complete novices. Before this, the only thing they had encountered that was related to the Gods was using the names of some indigenous Gods to curse on the streets. Second, they really didn't have much knowledge. Vanilla was the same (or even worse, Vanilla was a country bumpkin from the mountains, while Sangina and Sona had been to many big cities), but at least Vanilla had lived in our world for half a month. When she learned how to use a television remote control, she had already developed a strong ability to accept new things. However, Sangina and Sona didn't have such an experience. The two of them still hadn't gotten used to being explorers yet.
But I wasn't in a hurry — Lin wasn't even in a hurry, so why should I be? After all, everything was progressing step by step. The reemergence of the draconic species was an unchangeable fact. There were currently more than a hundred draconic humans in the town. They had all been exiled here as slave labor. They weren't charged with any crimes, and the only reason was that draconic humans were strong and had strong vitality. That was why they were chosen as breeding tools. These draconic humans had now all become believers of the Dragon God. Lin personally gave them their first blessing — this meant that the first batch of Dragon God believers in the Holy Capital would become the strongest group of people in the Dragon God Church in the future. Lin's power was beginning to manifest on these new believers. Apart from strengthening their bodies, some believers with strong comprehension abilities were now able to use the "divine power" they received from praying. Even though it was only small tricks like adding flames to their fists, summoning a strong gust of wind, or instantly covering their bodies with a large amount of scales to protect themselves, this was still a huge surprise for the draconic humans who had never come into contact with "magic" before. This meant that in terms of racial talents, they now had the qualifications to not be looked down upon by other species. This was the setting of this world. Every species would use the power of secret techniques as the standard for intelligence development (although the use of secret techniques was indeed related to natural talents in intelligence). If a species was completely unable to use secret techniques, they would be viewed as an incomplete race. The draconic humans suffered from this kind of discrimination.
However, if a species wanted to revive, simply obtaining individual power was far from enough. No matter how strong the draconic humans were, they were still a nomadic species whose country had been destroyed. The power of the Dragon God only allowed them to avoid being bullied when fighting, as well as to not be looked down upon by others. What truly determined a species' level of "civilization" was culture, tradition, society, territory, customs … and other tangible or intangible elements. Only when these things were revived would the draconic humans be able to declare that they were an independent species instead of a group of nomads.
In history, the draconic humans also had a glorious civilization. Even now, the ruins of their former cities could often be seen all over the world, as well as the remnants of their art that had been tossed into the sand and ignored by others. However, those things had been lost for many years. The current draconic humans had almost forgotten their own language. Sha Gina only knew how to write twelve draconic words, and not a single draconic human knew what utensils their own race used to process their food. The rupture in their culture was shocking.
This morning, Sha Gina came looking for me and told me about these things.
"I never thought that my species would have fallen to such an extent." The draconic girl sat on the steps in front of the town hall and couldn't help but sigh. The morning sunlight shone down, reflecting a dazzling golden light on the scales beneath her cheeks. A wild lass like her wouldn't learn to mature and steady in just three days, but it was enough for her to understand many things that she had never thought of before. At the very least, this was the first time that I had seen Sha Gina sigh. "We don't even have our own language. I don't even know how long the draconic civilization has lasted for. We don't even know when our country was destroyed, and we don't even know the name of our homeland. Our history is completely broken, and so is our culture. Even if we were to rebuild our homeland in the South, in the end, we would only be a group of barbarians who are very good at fighting. Can we really call it reviving? "
"That's why you came looking for me?" I glanced at her and tried my best to divert my attention away from her tail. Alright, I admit that an outsider is a little cute, but the main reason was that Sha Gina's tail was reflecting light under the sunlight. It was golden!
"You're the King of Gods," Sha Gina said seriously. "Although you don't look like one."
You don't have to say the second half of your sentence! Of course, the first half of my sentence is meaningless …
"Anyway, I heard that you control many worlds, countless mortal races, and civilizations. Our world should be no bigger than a grain of sand in your territory. If that's the case, I think that you should have … how should I put it, a little wisdom that exceeds my understanding. The wisdom of a God or something like that, or perhaps a vision that we mortals will never be able to understand. You should know more than me about the rise and fall of civilizations and the reproduction of races, right?"
I thought about it, but in the end, I was too embarrassed to tell her that I scored a total of sixty-five points in biology, history, and politics — I have the wisdom of a God! Who said that the gods had to have extraordinary ways of thinking? Why don't you take Dingdang out and let her show me how extraordinary she is!
"Don't remind me. I'm allergic to this word," I curled my lips. "Remember, this word is just a habitual way of calling powerful creatures that you can't understand. It doesn't mean that there's anything special about Gods. In addition to being powerful, we also eat and sleep noisily. Sometimes, we are even slower than you. Some Gods are even more troublesome than the group of children in the square. Just like how you believe in the Dragon God. But as you can see, the only good thing about the Dragon God you believe in is that she works very quickly and is the first to wash the dishes after eating. It's one thing that she provides protection to your entire race, but it's another thing how noble and great she is. You have to accept this setting."
Sha Gina lowered her head. "Err … Actually, I have already accepted this fact. God, it's really different from what I imagined in the past. However, they do have incredible power … Actually, I wanted to say this a long time ago. Can you stop playing with my tail?"
I was stunned. I looked down and quickly retracted my hand. "Cough, cough, sorry, I didn't notice. I was wondering why it was so cold."
Sha Gina awkwardly retracted her tail and hugged it in her arms. She finally spoke of her thoughts. "Actually, I have a plan … Oh, it's also Sona's plan. She thinks even further than I do. It's just that she's too introverted. We want to send out more than a hundred tribesmen who are currently in the town. " Speaking until here, she paused. Seeing that I didn't intend to interrupt her, she continued to explain, "Because there are many mines, we need a lot of strong labor. The number of Draconians in the southern region is very large. Sona thinks that we should first gather all the Draconians who can be gathered together. Now that our entire race has seen the Divine Revelation in the illusion, we vaguely know what happened. It's just that no one has contacted us. We are still in a state of disunity. If we send out a group of people to help, we will definitely be able to gather a large number of people. In addition, the people that we send out can also search for our former cities. Although hundreds of years have passed, the historical remains should still be able to be found. We have already selected the most knowledgeable tribesmen and want them to set out to restore the Draconians' culture. Even if they can only find some historical fragments, it will be good enough. Also, a portion of the people will head to the north to rescue our brethren who are still treated as inferior races. The influence of what happened in Sentu is limited. The Draconians are definitely still suffering in places far away from Sentu. Finally, we need to find a suitable place to build our new home. It might be near the Holy Capital, or it might be closer to the coastline in the west. No matter where it is, we have to do it. Even if we build a shack in the wilderness, it will still be our home … Hey, I'm done. "
Sha Gina looked at me with eyes filled with anticipation. I was slightly puzzled. "And then?"
"And then?" The Draconian girl was also stunned. "What's your opinion? I went to ask the Dragon God-sama. She said that you are the one in charge of the team now. She asked me to seek your opinion. "Lin, that brat … Should I say, as expected of Jingle's subordinate? She's always doing what she wants!
"I don't have any objections. Your plan is good," I said seriously. "You see, aren't you doing a good job? Go ahead and do it. If you need any help, just let me know. I will decisively throw Liliana over to you to be your coolie. "
Sha Gina's eyes lit up. "Is that really possible? But the town is at a crucial point in its construction. Over a hundred Draconians here are rather important laborers. They are also believers of the Crow God … "So that was what she was hesitating about.
"Go ahead. A hundred laborers or the first step of a race's revival. Do you still need me to tell you which is more important?" I chuckled. "Just go and inform Vanilla. She will arrange for more manpower. The town's population has already expanded by two or three times. Half of the new population has already completed the Crow God's baptism. It is impossible for us to lack manpower."
Sha Gina nodded happily. She stood up and was about to leave. However, before she left, I recalled something and hurriedly called out to her, "Wait! There's one thing. You and Sona mustn't follow me. We still have to go to the Sky Tower. "
"Of course, I remember that." Sha Gina had a delighted smile on her face. "The Hanging River will be open in a few hours. I will go and make arrangements with Sona now. After all, we are still explorers!"
"Ah Jun is really a good person. He is a good person to everyone." Jingle suddenly crawled out from my chest pocket. She turned around and looked up at me. Her little face still looked like she had just woken up. It seemed that she had heard my conversation with Sha Gina. She pretended to be emotional. I looked up at the sun above my head and used my finger to poke her head. "It wasn't easy. You finally got rid of your jet lag!" Jingle smiled foolishly. "Of course, Jingle is amazing! My afternoon nap is very comfortable … "
I was speechless. Damn, she just finished her afternoon nap! This little brat had gotten rid of her jet lag too much!
The shortcut to the Sky Tower was the Hanging River. The teleportation point of the Hanging River wasn't far from here. It was about two hundred kilometers away in a straight line. Anyway, it was quite close to us, so there was no need to set off early. We gave the draconic people time. Sangina and Sangina spent a few hours arranging their plan. They gathered all of their kind in town. There were a total of 105 people. (Xiaoxue casually mentioned that she had read about the legend of the 105 draconic pioneers in a history book. It seemed like their operation was indeed successful. Unfortunately, Xiaoxue was a child who read books fast and forgot fast. She only remembered the name of the draconic people.) They were divided into three groups. They went to the hinterlands in the south to gather their people and search for the draconic ruins. They also went to the north. Every draconic person had a determined expression that they had never seen before. They knew that they were not only going to embark on a long journey, but it was also the first step in the revival of their race. They had a heavy responsibility on their shoulders, and they didn't want to waste even a second. At the same time, even Liliana, who was giving these draconic people a send-off, looked very serious.
Despite the shortage of supplies in town, Vanilla still ordered his men to prepare the best supplies for the pioneers who were about to embark on their journey. Even though it was just a few pieces of clothing and one or two freshly forged self-defense weapons, it was enough to move the half-dragons. In their entire lives, they had never been cared for by so many people and supported by so many people. They had never embarked on a journey filled with hope like now. With the double blessings of the Dragon God and the Crow God, they embarked on their journey confidently. Some of them might be able to bring their tribesmen back very soon, while some of them might have to spend more than a decade or even decades searching for the ruins of the former half-dragon empire. Regardless of what kind of mission it was, they gladly accepted it.
This was the first time they took action for themselves.
"It's time for us to depart." After sending off the draconic people, the older sister looked at the sky and said.
"Hey, I'll leave this place to you and Vanilla." Liliana turned her head to look at Catwoman in the crowd behind her, as well as Vanilla, who was standing next to Catwoman and waving at the little crow on our side. The former's ears immediately perked up, and he shouted with the loudest voice he could muster, "My name is Rabi! I'm not that guy! "
Instantly, the surrounding people were overjoyed. This cat was still concerned that his name wasn't remembered again. Then, the group of us activated the teleportation array and arrived at the entrance of a valley hundreds of kilometers away.
Due to the short teleportation distance, Sagina and Sona didn't vomit this time. They just bumped into each other in a daze. Now, they were busy untangling their tails while we looked around curiously.
This was a barren land, surrounded by the most common type of yellow sand in the Southern regions. Even if there were plants, they were the withered yellow Gobi shrubs with thorns that grew tenaciously in the cracks of the rocks. In front of us, the terrain on both sides rose abruptly, forming ridges. In between the ridges, there was a valley that extended downwards at an angle of almost sixty degrees. The entrance of the valley was only about a hundred meters wide, and along the way, there were giant stone platforms that had a drop of more than ten meters. The terrain could be said to be dangerous. It was no wonder that so few people chose to enter the Hanging River from here. Since there were other safe entrances, of course, no one would choose to take this dangerous path. We chose this place because we were in a rush for time. Sometimes, a Lost World would have more than one entrance, and they might not all appear on the mother continent at the same time. Just like the Hanging River, other than the valley in front of us, another entrance to the Hanging River would appear near the western coastline in half a month's time. However, we didn't have the time to waste until then.
"What a thick fog," Shallow Shallow muttered as she looked into the valley.
The valley was filled with thick fog, but it was all gathered a few dozen meters below us. There was a clear boundary between the fog and the air above, and it looked very strange. Because of that, it was impossible to see how deep the valley was with the naked eye. The bottom of the giant stone platform was like a raging sea. There was the sound of rushing water coming from the bottom of the fog, which meant that the so-called 'Hanging River' was already connected to this world: it was right under the fog.
"This is one of the most dangerous Lost World entrances," Sagina said as she pointed at the sea of fog under the giant stone platform. "The bottom of these stones is even steeper than it looks. In the thick fog, you won't be able to see your fingers in front of you for a distance of more than ten meters. If you are not an experienced explorer, there is a high chance that a newbie will slip and fall. In fact, not many people would come here. As you can see, there is not even a station here."
"Pfft, let's go, let's go." Icetis waved her hand impatiently. Then, she summoned a ray of Holy Light under her feet. The thick fog was immediately opened up by the ray of Holy Light, forming a ten-meter wide path in front of us. At the end of the path, we could vaguely see the riverbank. Little Bubble and Medivh looked at it and instantly cheered as they jumped up. They slid down the path of Holy Light like a slide … and slid down …
"Holy Light can be used like this?!" I exclaimed and stared dumbfoundedly at Qian Qian pulling Kuo 'zi, followed closely by the God Race cops, Lin Xue, and the others who were cheering as they jumped onto the Holy Light Ramp and slid down one by one. Beside me, Bryndis smiled mysteriously, "Of course, normal Holy Light can't, but I have never been normal!" I was speechless.
"Cough cough, what I mean is, as a technological otaku, it is only natural for me to add some small functions to the things that I frequently use," Icetis scratched her head awkwardly as she explained.
The Hanging River, a river that hung in the sky. Every lost world had a straightforward and easy to understand name. Just hearing the words' Hanging River ', it was easy for us to imagine what kind of scenery this place would look like. However, when the Hanging River really appeared in front of us, we couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: The mysterious boundless world never lacked for wonders.
The Hanging River was a wide river that stretched across the endless sky. It stretched for hundreds of kilometers, and the widest part was so wide that we couldn't even see the other side of the river with the naked eye. The surging river water rushed out from a thin layer of clouds and finally dissipated into the clouds several hundred kilometers away. This miraculous river had broken banks — yes, the banks of the Hanging River weren't complete. Only less than a third of it had land on both sides. In most places, the water of the Hanging River flowed directly above the clouds, as though an invisible river was restraining the surging water. These broken banks and the Hanging River floated together in the sky, stabilized under the influence of some unknown power. The brave pioneers found a stable foothold on these floating pieces of land and left a small camp — there were humans stationed on both sides of the Hanging River.
Of course, since we chose a very unpopular entrance, we didn't land near the human camp. This was a small piece of broken bank that was only a dozen meters wide and no more than a hundred meters long. Visually speaking, this was a long piece of land that was next to the river, and it was floating in the sky. It was quite unrealistic.
However, this actually allowed us to better understand just how magnificent the Hanging River was, a scenic spot that was famous for being a "wonder" in many lost worlds. The floating river meandered forward above the clouds, and on both sides was an empty sky. If there was an endless river bank here, it would actually dilute the visual impact of the Hanging River.
"Wow — Oh!" Just like every time we arrived at an inconceivable place, Shallow Shallow immediately ran to the surging river bank and started cheering loudly. Behind her, the little girls all stood in a row and imitated her, cheering one after another. There was even the loud caw of a certain stupid crow. Pandora was the only one among all the little girls who didn't get involved in such an embarrassing matter. Seeing that her little sister was also fooling around with a brat like Little Bubble, her wooden face remained expressionless. However, it was likely that she was already preparing her supersonic karate chop.
"Look, the clouds are right under our feet!" Lin Xue grabbed my arm and pulled me to the edge of the broken bank. She pointed down and shouted happily. I looked down. Pure white clouds were several hundred meters below us, rolling and surging like the waves of the sea. It was indeed a magnificent view. If someone with acrophobia was here, they would probably be on oxygen right now.
"The floating river is floating in the sky. What's under the clouds?" I looked at the surging clouds and couldn't help but be curious. Sona happened to be standing next to me. She was stunned when she heard what I said. She said with uncertainty, "I think there are scholars who have studied this before. It is said that there is another floating river below the clouds, and it is the same above. The space here is constantly circulating."
I looked up at the sky and saw another sea of clouds. Endless layers of clouds covered the sky and the floating river as far as I could see. It was as though the space we were in was sandwiched in the middle. The layers of clouds, the floating river, and the layers of clouds were like sandwiched biscuits. I released my mental power to sense the structure of the surrounding space. I realized that I had soon reached the boundary of the space.
"The 'height' is only thirty-six kilometers." Sandora gestured with her hand. "This space is closed. The height is thirty-six kilometers. If you jump from the river bank, if you 'fall' continuously, you will quickly fall back from the other side of the space."
"Closed? Is this God's way of explaining the 'space circulation'? "Sona looked at us curiously.
My expression was solemn. "No, this is science." Even though this world itself wasn't scientific.
"Where is the teleportation point to the Sky Tower?" Although Sandora was also interested in the marvelous view, she still focused on business. She looked around. Apart from the projection of the valley that we had entered from not far away, there was no sign of the opening of the space door. So, she asked curiously.
"It is upstream of the river." Sona pointed in a direction. "The Sky Tower should be open by now. We can take a boat there. There should be a boat passing by here soon. "
"A boat?" I was surprised. "There are boats here?"
"Since it is a river, why can't there be boats?" Sona asked curiously. "Also, the riverbank here is broken. Other than the upstream riverbank and the islands in the middle which are larger, the other places are broken. If the people who are stationed near the floating river want to go out, they must take a boat, right?" Just as I said that, Sona leaned over and added, "The downstream of the floating river is the main source of the red algae and elemental water crystals. However, there is only a small piece of the riverbank that serves as a port and station. The red algae and elemental water crystals collected from there have to be transported by boat to the large camp upstream to be stored. The other boat is also responsible for patrolling the riverbank to see if there are any unlucky fellows who are stranded on the nearby islands. Or if there are explorers who have taken a different route — such as us, who appeared next to this unpopular entrance. Today is the day that the floating river opens its doors here. The cargo ship will definitely stop here. "
Actually, for us, the faster way to travel would be to summon 700 billion or teleport there directly. However, when Shallow shallow heard that there was a boat from another world, she immediately became interested. I thought about it. Since we weren't in a rush, we might as well wait for a while. Besides, the scenery here wasn't bad, so we might as well just take it as enjoying the scenery.
Sona and Sona were right. We didn't wait for long before we heard a low and melodious whistle from downstream — the cargo ship on the floating river had arrived.
