Chapter 1124 – Mysterious Ashes
Above the dead silent sea, two dull explosions of thunder suddenly burst out.
Shen Qingzhu, who was sitting inside the exploration ship drifting along with the ocean currents, opened his eyes and looked through the porthole to the distant sea, only to see two figures, one white and one gold, crashing through a gaping hole from nothingness, quickly flying up into the clouds to cross the sky and disappearing.
”Michael?” Shen Qingzhu sensed the aura of that golden light, and her eyes slightly condensed.
How did Michael come out? And who was the person He was chasing? What kind of change had occurred in the Kingdom of Heaven?
A series of questions flashed through his mind, he ran to the deck and looked around, there was nothing else to see around him except the endless dark mist, under this kind of visibility that could be called blindness, Shen Qingzhu didn’t even know where the ship had drifted to.
The ship began to accelerate forward with the gradually turbulent water current, and the surrounding temperature gradually decreased, but in tens of seconds, it made people feel like falling into an ice cave.
”Something’s not right ……”
Shen Qingzhu frowned and reached out to the sky and snapped his fingers.
Splat–!
A blazing ball of fire suddenly surfaced above the exploration ship, dispelling the surrounding darkness, and with this firelight, Shen Qingzhu could barely see more than ten meters around the exploration ship.
His afterglow glanced under the ship, and his pupils contracted slightly.
At some point, the pitch-black seawater had turned blood-colored, and the originally wide sea was now like sailing into some kind of mountain chasm, with towering rock walls on both sides, and cold air continuously seeping out from the mountains on both sides, and a set of bizarre corpses were floating on top of the blood-colored river, exuding a nauseating aura.
This was by no means a normal sea!
Shen Qingzhu violently turned back to look at the stern of the ship, in the hazy mist, it was impossible to see the way he came, he swung his palm with force, the blazing fireball suspended above his head instantly flew out along the mountain chasm, illuminating the corner of the mist from where he came from.
Only to see a huge spatial gap that was silently hanging between the mountain gorges, beyond the gap was the normal sea shrouded in mists, and beyond the gap was this icy world flowing with blood-colored seawater and floating corpses.
Shen Qingzhu’s face instantly turned ugly.
This gap, should be just two Supreme Gods crashed through a certain space left behind, the gap appeared after the ocean currents in the surrounding waters changed, and even brought the exploration ship drifted all the way in …… If Shen Qingzhu did not notice the change in temperature, in that stretching out mist, I am afraid that after another ten minutes may not be able to find out.
Shen Qingzhu stood at the stern of the boat, his eyes sweeping across the narrow mountain gorge, his brain spinning rapidly.
The distance between the mountains on both sides of the mountain chasm was too short, even if he were to maneuver the exploration ship now, it would be impossible for him to turn the ship around and re-sail back to the normal sea under this terrain.
He could choose to abandon the ship and use his ability to temporarily fly over the gap to go back, but after losing the ship as a landing point on the sea, when his mental power was exhausted, he could only passively fall into the sea water and wait for death ……
The only way now was to wait for the exploration ship to sail out of this mountain gorge, to be able to enter a wide piece of water to turn around, and then turn on all its horsepower to go against the current and go back through the spatial gap.
Shen Qingzhu looked towards the bow of the ship, there should be no mist in this unknown space, the mist from the outside world surging in through the gap is slowly thinning, the visibility around him is gradually returning, he can already vaguely see the situation in front of the ship.
Gray-white snowflakes along with the cold wind, drifted to the air above the exploration ship, Shen Qingzhu reached out to catch a piece of it, surveyed for a moment, only to realize that it was a piece of burned ash, frowning slightly:
”What is this thing ……”
Dang–!
A dull thud came from the blood-colored seawater below the hull of the ship, and immediately after, the exploration ship, which weighed several tons, looked like it had been toppled by something, and lifted off from the surface of the sea in a hard way!
Shen Qingzhu’s pupils suddenly contracted!
”It’s been almost an hour.”
Jiang’er’s figure drifted over the Heavenly Kingdom for a moment and landed back by the shattered palace, and he was about to open his mouth to say something when he realized that both Lin Qiye and An Qingyu were frowning tightly.
”What’s wrong with you guys?”
”Jiang’er …… Have you ever felt that the sky seems to have gone dark?”
An Qingyu stretched out her hand and pointed at the gradually dimming sunset in the distance, a touch of darkness gradually climbed up from the end of the horizon, the entrance to the tumbling lava hell, as if night had descended after dusk, under the trio’s gaze, the light of this heavenly kingdom was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
”How could this happen?” Jiang’er’s brows also furrowed, “Didn’t Elder Blazing Angel say that there is no night here?”
”We were able to leave this place but failed;night shouldn’t exist here, but it appeared.” Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly, his face a bit gloomy, “It seems like some sort of change should have occurred in the Heavenly Kingdom, and it’s definitely not a good thing ……”
”Could it be related to that Supreme God hiding in hell?”
”It’s possible.”
Just as the three of them were talking, the dim sunlight had completely disappeared, and endless darkness enveloped the sky above the Heavenly Kingdom, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression.
Above the sky, a flake of grayish-white snowflakes drifted down onto the Heavenly Kingdom’s land, and Lin Qiye reached out to catch a piece of it with a frown on his face:
”Ash? Where did the ashes come from?”
An Qingyu placed a piece of ash in front of his eyes, a gray aura flashed in his eyes, he immediately slapped this piece of ash out of his palm, pinching the bridge of his nose with two fingers, seemingly a bit tired:
”Don’t touch it …… It’s something that grams the gods.”
”What?”
Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed as he waved his palm, and the gusts of wind that rolled up immediately shook away all of the ash that had enveloped the trio’s heads.
”Cthulhu deity’s stuff, how did it appear here?”
”I don’t know …… but I heard their ravings from it, although it’s much weaker than in the fishing village, but this kind of thing can only come from them.” An Qingyu shook her head.
Lin Qiye stood in place, the light in his eyes flickering as if he was pondering something.
”Could it be Odin ……,” he muttered.
When he was on the Pamir Plateau, Lin Qiye had heard the Queen Mother of the West speak the truth about Odin, and at this moment, the two major elements, the Supreme God and Cthulhu, appeared at the same time, so the only one he could think of was Odin.
”So what do we do now?” Jiang’er asked.
”This place can’t stay any longer.” Lin Qiye spoke firmly, “Elder Blazing Angel doesn’t know when he’ll be back yet, and since the things of the Cthulhu Gods have appeared, there’s no telling what kind of variables will be born if we continue to stay here. …… We’ll just have to take a chance.”
Lin Qiye’s gaze passed through the denser and denser gray snowflakes and landed at the end of the horizon, above the gap that led to hell.
