Lei looked out from the glass cover. The sun and the light were connected together and elongated into a cross star.
The light was so bright, and the blue sky and clouds looked like they were painted in watercolors.
Everything feels unreal.
At this time, they had left the endless sand sea, left the giant island of Ruhe, and were traveling across the sea.
After flying for so long, the aircraft's power was exhausted and it gradually lost power.
"Number two."
"Transformation."
Lei, the leader of the adventure team, gave the order and the aircraft immediately began to change; the glass cover above suddenly expanded and turned into a huge transparent hot air balloon.
The flame is burning under the transparent hot air balloon. It is difficult to notice the hot air balloon when looking from below. You can only see a ball of flame, as if something is hanging under the ball of flame.
The aircraft turned into a gondola, and the puppet demon and the kite demon also disintegrated from the aircraft. One stood in the gondola, and the other, also a little tired, was mounted on the gondola.
Lei lay comfortably on the edge of the metal hanging basket, looking at the sea under the clouds and comforting the kite demon.
"Look~"
"We really flew out."
"The sun rises from the east. Does this mean we are closer to it?"
When the kite demon heard this, he suddenly stopped hanging on the hanging basket and flew up to hover around the hot air balloon.
He seemed very happy and expressed his expectations in this way.
Then we flew for several days, flying farther and farther.
His goal is the east where the sun rises.
This morning, Lei just woke up from the hanging basket. He used sleep to restore his mental strength and recharge his batteries to prepare to fly farther today.
Then the moment he was lying next to the hanging basket, he suddenly saw a shadow appear in the sky in the distance.
Under the sea of clouds there are plains, jungles, and mountains. You can see some unknown beings with wings flying in the distance, and something is running on the earth and in the jungle.
Lei was stunned for a moment, then became extremely excited.
he shouted.
"Look!"
"Look over there."
"Isn't that a new world? We have found a new paradise."
He was excited and cheered.
Because this scene was so shocking, it was a scene he had been looking forward to for a long time and a place he had imagined for a long time.
He shouted to the other two demon spirits, and the three immediately started the aircraft and chased towards the place where the shadow was.
But flying all the way, I didn't see the "new world" at all. I just watched the image dissipate little by little.
What they just saw was just a mirage.
An experienced sailor at sea would have recognized it at that time, but Lei had only heard of this phenomenon but had never seen it.
When everything cleared up, Lei realized that they were still in the inner waters where the giant Ruhe Island was located. Many merchant ships, warships, and pirates had arrived here. How could there be any "new world"?
"It turned out to be just an illusion."
However, Lei believed that this illusion was not born out of thin air, and that the scene he just saw must really exist somewhere in the world.
The empty joy did not shock Lei, but made him look forward to the future even more.
He said to No. 2 and No. 3, his voice full of enthusiasm and his hands dancing.
"Did you see it? There really is a continent in the distance."
"Did you see the thing flying in the sky just now in the picture?"
"That might be a winged man, or it might be something else we haven't seen before. It's definitely not the Ruhe Giant Island."
He raised his head and stared into the distance.
"I want to go there."
"I must go there."
Lei was full of enthusiasm and said loudly.
"Today we have to speed up. If we go faster, we will definitely be able to find the new continent one day earlier."
Lei's enthusiasm seemed to ignite No. 2 and No. 3, and the aircraft became faster and rushed into the distance.
But not long after flying, the situation at the end of the sky changed in his sight.
The overwhelming darkness appeared in the distance.
Terrifying dark clouds rolled in, covering the sky and the sun.
Black storm.
Flame Demon Spirit No. 2 seemed to feel something and exuded fear.
On the contrary, the kite demons are fearless, and the terrible storm makes this extraordinary race belonging to the sky even more restless.
"It's here, don't be afraid."
"Let's go and see if the legendary black storm is as scary as they say."
Lei and the others flew the aircraft into the black storm. They were full of energy and courage to challenge everything.
But the black storm is not only as terrifying as the legend, it is even dozens or hundreds of times more terrifying.
They seemed to have rushed into a world in a painting.
The whole world is filled with black lines painted by crazy painters with black charcoal, covering everything layer by layer.
Lei's consciousness felt that the sky and the sea were spinning, and the terrifying sounds pierced his ears, giving rise to terrifying thoughts.
So the aircraft rushed into the darkness, and they soon lost their way, wandering around like headless flies.
"Buzz buzz~" The sound of the storm was overwhelming, so loud that the ears could only hear a buzz.
"Boom~" The occasional burst of thunder not only does not make people feel harsh, but also gives a solid feeling of being relieved of irritability.
The terrifying extraordinary storm continued to consume the aura of the aircraft, and thunder in the darkness continued to bombard their aircraft.
The power of the enchanted aura was constantly being worn away, and the aircraft swayed left and right in the storm.
Moreover, they can feel a powerful corrosive force mixed in the storm. Once a conscious life comes into contact with this force, it is estimated that consciousness and wisdom will be wiped out in the blink of an eye, and it will fall into chaos and darkness.
"By the way, I have Ms. Elena's compass."
"It keeps us from losing our way."
At this time, Lei suddenly thought of the miracle prop compass given to him by Elena.
He grabbed the metal box around his neck and opened it.
This miraculous thing given to him by the God of Demonic Spirits did not disappoint Lei at all. The compass rotated crazily and finally settled in the direction of the giant island of Luhe.
Lei looked in the direction of the pointer.
The direction it was pointing seemed to tell him that he should give up and go home now.
This was just a short time after entering the black storm. The entire black storm covered a range measured in units of thousands of miles, and the deeper it went, the more terrifying it became.
"go back?"
"Or should we move on?"
Lei, who had just seen hope, seemed unwilling to leave like this.
He suddenly looked at the sky above the layers of storms and black clouds, at the high sky where the thunder turned into gaps, and said to No. 2.
"No. 2, transform."
"We passed through the dark clouds, flew to the highest point, and flew all the way up."
"Since we can't pass below, let's go from above."
The aircraft turned into a hot air balloon and rose rapidly.
The further up you go, the denser the thunder becomes.
But fortunately, Olan and Lei had already considered this aspect when designing this flying prop. It has the thunder curse seal and barrier on it, which can naturally resist the power of thunder and lightning.
The barrier blocked the power of thunder, and the hot air balloon basket flew higher and higher, gradually penetrating into the black clouds.
Things seem to be getting better among the dark clouds.
The terrifying extraordinary storm no longer consumes the aircraft's extraordinary aura, and the thunder in the black clouds seems unable to do anything to them.
But suddenly, a huge mountain-like shadow appeared in the dense and sticky black clouds, and the lightning flashed along with the thunder.
Terrifying power and aura permeated the black storm, freezing people's spirits and consciousness.
An idea of fear and madness was forcibly inserted into the body of every conscious being.
Including Lei them.
"what is that?"
Lei looked at the black clouds and lightning in the upper floors, and there were unimaginable and terrifying things moving around and squirming.
It was a volume born from the breath of the Ruch giant monster.
They are restrained by the Ruch Troll and can only live in the troll's breath.
As long as the thunder goes up, it will encounter the opponent, and the result will be death.
It would be fine if there was only one, but Lei felt that there were a large number of such terrifying entities in the storm, and the thickness of the black clouds was most likely far beyond his imagination.
Not only that, Lei also felt that the higher he went, the invisible erosion force became more and more terrifying. It was definitely not a place where intelligence could exist.
"It turns out that the black storm that seems to be the scariest is actually the safest place here."
Lei finally understood that the black storm that people talked about was just the most insignificant danger in this sea area.
It's just because for ordinary people, the limit they can reach is right here, and the only place they can see is this storm.
Ray stared into the darkness.
Gaze at the terrifying black clouds and the monsters in the darkness.
Holding the miraculous compass in his hand, his spirituality suddenly extended to the endless sky.
He saw that the power of darkness extended to the end of the sky, where even air did not exist, and it was definitely not a height that mortals could leap to.
He saw seven terrifying shadows of Ruhe surrounding the giant island of Ruhe, and behind these shadows was a demon god who covered the entire world with darkness.
The continent is beneath it, and the sky is covered by it.
And the devil's hand reached into the sky, and it looked like it was going to swallow up the sun.
When I saw this scene, a vast horn sounded in the depths of my soul.
"Woo!"
Lei seemed to hear the horn of destruction echoing between heaven and earth, and the resurrection and destruction of all things were in the palm of the demon god.
Ray knew who he was seeing: "Sally, the Mother of Life."
"The eldest daughter of the Creator."
Perhaps on the altar, this god looks like a young goddess, and in the eyes of the Creator, she is just the little girl surrounding his feet.
But in the eyes of snake people, in this era and world.
She is the demon who can create life and continents, and can also destroy the world.
Do whatever you want, supremely.
Lei knew this after seeing this scene.
This stormy sea cannot be crossed.
No matter how much he longs for it, he will never take the risk again.
He told the Flame Demon Spirit No. 2: "Go down, go back."
The hot air balloon basket immediately descended, and then turned into an aircraft and rushed downwards, beginning to escape from the storm.
Lei controlled the aircraft, and the kite demon tried his best to control the wind, trying to rush out of here as quickly as possible.
But suddenly, a tentacle hung down from the dark clouds in the sky.
Another terrifying giant monster passed through the storm.
"So big?"
It was said to be just a wisp, but in Lei's eyes, it looked like a huge pillar falling from the sky, setting off layers of terrifying waves of extraordinary power.
The aircraft was unable to avoid it and was directly thrown away by the wave.
In the blink of an eye, the enchantment surrounding the aircraft burst.
The aircraft disintegrated instantly, and the three demon spirits were forced to retreat.
The main body of the aircraft turned into a metal egg and was swept into the wave.
Lei felt something bad in the sky: "Something happened!"
Once the intelligent species is directly exposed to this power, it will really be doomed, and it is impossible to leave this black storm without the aircraft thunder.
"Hiss~"
At this time, the kite demon activated its power and transformed into a layer of wind, quickly surrounding the thunder and flame demons.
Flying as hard as possible into the distance.
But the power of the kite demon also has its limits, and the wind realm is constantly shrinking.
Seeing that the speed is getting slower and slower, the strength is losing strength.
Death is right in front of you.
But their eyes suddenly opened up, and light came down from a high place and bathed them.
"Out?"
They looked around and realized that they had entered a large vacuum of black storm.
It's clear that we haven't reached the normal boundary of the storm yet, and there are still terrifying black storms raging in the distance.
It was obviously a large recessed place, as if something had eaten away the storm here.
Lei turned back and looked into the storm.
This time, he actually saw the shadows of a large number of monsters. No wonder he encountered such huge monsters when he walked this way. It turned out that the monsters were piled up here.
But these terrifying monsters don't know why, they just wander around.
It seems that I want to get close to here, but I don't dare to really get close to here.
Lei didn't understand what was going on here, and he didn't dare to stay here any longer.
He grabbed the body of the kite demon and flew in the direction of the giant island of Luhe.
On the way, they saw a winged demon and hitched a ride.
After lying on this winged demon and flying alternately with the kite demon, I finally saw an island.
Lei regained his strength on this island and finally regained his composure.
--------------------------
In the sea.
The submarine in the depths of the sea followed the giant island of Ruhe, and a huge vacuum zone was formed in the black storm.
The creatures born in the storm, those blind and mindless monsters.
At this moment, one by one they felt their supreme gods appear in the human world, lingering around them.
Sally stood in front of the window of the submarine, her face pressed tightly against the glass, her eyes widened and her nose crooked.
She looked at the thunder in the distant storm.
The accurate thing is not looking at Lei, but his props.
Because she actually saw a new hot air balloon. Isn't this something they only have?
Sally's angry shouts immediately sounded in the cabin, and her voice was full of surprise.
"God~"
"There is a hot air balloon in the sky."
"There are thieves, people are stealing our ideas."
Sally looked at it for a while and discovered something even more remarkable.
"God, look."
"It can also deform, which is also our idea."
As soon as Sally finished speaking, Lei's aircraft could not withstand the black storm and almost died in the hurricane.
Sally was extremely happy because the fake who dared to steal their ideas was punished.
"Ha ha!"
"The guy who stole our idea had his fake hot air balloon blown up by a storm."
Sally said that she didn't do anything. Those guys were just too unlucky and had no strength to dare to go through the dangerous black storm everywhere.
Now that I’m done gloating about my misfortune, I don’t forget to add one more thing.
"The fake stuff is really terrible."
"Ours is still really good."
Sally had forgotten that not long ago she told the mythical spirit Velen that this was a broken ship.
Sally had just been gloating about her misfortune.
The metal egg in the sky was blown out by the storm and fell into the sea, sinking all the way.
"Bang~"
The metal egg hit their submarine with a bang, and it happened to be on the glass where Sally was lying.
Viren's figure immediately floated in the sea water outside, carefully wiping her glass window. Although it was impossible for this mythical prop to cause any problems due to such a smash, she was still extremely precious.
Viren wiped the glass window, disappeared outside in the blink of an eye, brought back a metal egg and placed it in the cabin.
and placed it before the god Insai.
Sally and Sheila immediately gathered around, and even the witch doctor followed.
The metal egg unfolded and transformed into an aircraft again.
Silla looked at this new thing with doubts in her eyes.
"Huh!"
"I think I've seen this thing before."
She seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Yin Shen in surprise.
"god!"
"There seems to be something very similar to this in the mural in front of the temple."
Yin Shen nodded and looked at Laideliji's remains.
"That's the wall carving left behind when Lai Deliki was just born."
Sheila knew: "It was burned according to the pictures in God's memory."
There are a large number of wall carvings in front of the pyramid temple of the Kingdom of Creation, including high-rise buildings and steel jungles, iron birds flying in the sky, and long metal snakes sailing on orbit.
But no one knows what these pictures actually represent.
Yin Shen looked out the window: "The storm is dissipating, within the next few years."
The storm is dissipating rapidly and it is estimated that it will not take more than ten years.
But even if the black storm dissipates, the remaining impact will be very terrifying for ordinary people and powerful people. This voyage is still full of unknowns and various dangers.
Sally stretched her legs and sat on the aircraft: "They are so useless, they can't even control their strength."
They refer to the seven Ruch trolls.
Yinsai God looked at the black storm that stretched to the end of the sky, and a large number of monsters were bred in the giant monster's breath.
"about there."
"It's time to open the door to them."
This storm was once a layer of protection, a mechanism for the ecological operation of Ruhe Island.
However, as time has changed, it was once a shelter and a barrier from God.
When civilization began to become stronger, this shelter and barrier began to become a constraint.
It's like a gift from the past has turned into a divine punishment over time.
--------------------------
Endless sea of sand.
Demon Abyss City.
Lei's adventure team was forced back by the black storm, and even the flying props were lost.
Fortunately, none of these three guys are made of flesh, their vitality is extremely tenacious, and they still have some luck.
He actually came back alive.
Lei was complaining to his friend Oran in his Miracle Workshop.
"ah!"
"It's over now, there are no more aircraft."
Lei held his head, looking like he was about to die.
"broken!"
"Everything is broken."
But people who are truly discouraged will not have so many actions and emotions.
Oran looked at Lei and knew that he was not defeated.
For Lei, failure seems to be the norm and does not affect him at all.
He had just come back, and he was already preparing for his next adventure. He took a bunch of scrolls and began to record what he saw during his trip, and he was looking for new ideas.
"The Sea of Storms is impassable."
"At least we can't fly there. We can only think of other methods."
Although Oran admired Lei's courage in fighting despite repeated defeats, he was worried that he might not be able to come back from the Sea of Storms next time.
"give up!"
"thunder!"
"No one can cross that sea of storms. The miracles of the Aiweier people cannot be replicated."
Lei scratched his metal forehead and said to Oran.
"This is only the first time!"
"Even if you have to admit defeat, you have to try a few more times!"
Oran said to Lei: "Every attempt may be at the cost of life."
"Lei, the storm sea is too dangerous."
Lei said to Olan: "But every attempt and failure is not without gain. Every failure is moving forward."
"For example, after this failure, I know what the Sea of Storms is like, and I will be more prepared next time."
When Lei said this, he paused.
"But next time, I won't take No. 2 and No. 3 with me. It's indeed a bit dangerous."
"The power in the stormy sea is really weird, and there are those terrifying beings that are difficult to resist in mythology."
There was embarrassment in his voice, but also a bit of honesty.
"The two of them were so scared this time that they might not accompany me on my adventure next time."
Oran said to Lei: "I will try to find a way to check the history and records of the year to see how the Aiweier people left the Ruhe Island."
Lei expressed his gratitude to Olan: "Thank you for your help, Olan."
The puppet demon named Lei always seems to be unable to stop, and starts tossing as soon as he fails.
His life seemed to be full of infinite power and vitality, like a clockwork man who was always in a fully wound state.
In other words, his inner obsession with the distant place made him unable to let it go.
He even came up with some wild ideas that didn't sound very reliable.
"Since we can't fly there, can we pass through the dream world?"
"It's impossible to make a prop that travels through the dream world. Even the gods can't locate the direction and coordinates in the dream world."
He wrote down another feasible idea on the table in his workshop.
"I heard that someone once smuggled out of a storage item and wanted to go to Storage Wonderland to steal something."
"I can try it too!"
Lei had a flash of inspiration and felt that he had found a breakthrough.
But Elena heard Lei's crazy idea and summoned Lei to her side.
"Lady Elena!"
"You also heard my idea?"
Elena looked at this optimistic metal doll demon who still looked happy even in front of her, as if he never knew what giving up was.
Elena originally wanted to scold Lei, but when she saw his appearance, she couldn't help but sigh.
"thunder!"
"Give up, because everything you have done has no meaning."
Lei was very puzzled: "How can it be meaningless?"
Elena asked Ray: "Ray, do you really know what you want to do?"
Lei replied without thinking at all: "Go to the place where the sun rises and find a new world, a new continent."
"A land of plenty, a place full of hope."
Elena asked him again: "What then?"
Ray: "Then?"
"No need to do that, I just want to find it."
"I just wanted to go to a place like that, for no reason."
Elena told him: "There was a reason, and that reason is engraved in your blood and in your body."
"Although you no longer have the memory of that reason, your body is still chasing it."
Lei was stunned: "Ms. Elena, how did you know?"
Elena: "Because you are my student."
Lei was suddenly confused and didn't know how to answer.
The God of Demon Spirits in front of the temple lowered his head, and his beautiful, illusory and translucent face revealed regret and regret.
"Lei, a long time ago, you were my student."
"do you remember?"
"In the era of gods abandonment, the Sanye people will bring their bloodline into the next era, but we are about to perish in the previous era."
"You once told me that you would fly in the direction of the rising sun with your flight, and you would find a new place of hope for all the people of the Demonic Abyss."
"You believe that there is hope in the distance, and that the era of God's abandonment is not the end."
"You told me that as long as I don't stop and do it, hope will be born."
"I used the Demonic Pyramid Plan to restrain you. You gave up your hope and inherited my Demonic Pyramid Plan, which turned you into a puppet."
Elena, the God of Demon Spirits, said this and walked down the steps.
"thunder!"
"The people of the Demonic Abyss no longer need you to look for a place of hope, because in the new era, every place is a place of hope."
Elena thought of Lei's life, of her student who was always full of hope and smile, and of the puppet that drove the aircraft toward the light over and over again.
"Just give up, that's the end of it."
"Don't let the hopes of the past become your nightmares of today."
"Don't let the reincarnation of the past be repeated indefinitely in the present."
Lei stood stunned on the spot.
"I am Ms. Elena's student?"
"Why...don't I remember?"
But as he spoke, a picture seemed to appear before his eyes.
That was the scene of the age of God’s abandonment.
Elena has not yet transformed into the doll she is today, but is an apostle of Insai, a being in the form of a god.
In the high temple, she faced the window and walked to the final destination, holding the sword in her hand on the ground, guarding the statue of Insai.
just like.
Like her ancestors.
The teacher's final instructions echoed in his ears, despairing and confused.
"Take my divine grace stone and leave here."
"My body, let it stay here."
"And my divine grace belongs to the devil and to the gods."
Hearing those words, Lei couldn't help but tremble.
It seemed like another will was awakening in his body, transmitting strong emotions into his mind.
He was extremely excited and his eyes wanted to shed tears, but no tears came out.
Lei looked up at Elena, then looked at the temple.
"No!"
"I seem to remember some."
"It's not like that, it's not like that."
Lei stepped forward little by little, and finally knelt down in front of Elena, as if he was begging Elena for forgiveness.
"Ms. Elena, you didn't turn me into a metal doll."
"It was me and we who abandoned your last wish and chose this path."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, that's true."
He couldn't remember those things, but he was so sure of them.
Elena shook her head and leaned over to press Lei's shoulder.
"No matter what, we have reached this era and we have succeeded."
"As for those things in the past, they are no longer important."
"thunder!"
"You have found your paradise."
Lei raised his head and looked at Elena looking at him with concern.
He was a little happy and a little sad.
But when he lowered his head, it seemed that the clockwork behind his back that would never stop slowly stopped.
"So that's it."
"It turns out~"
"I don't want to go far away, I don't have dreams."
"But the me who used to be wanted to find a place of hope."
Lei laughed again, but when he said this, Lei's voice sounded a little lonely.
