Deep Sea Embers

Another continent hung upside down from the sky and fell, and the two worlds were destroyed in a "slow collision" beyond recognition. This was some kind of surreal "impact", not just a simple physical touch - after seeing the forest After the distortion, chaos and madness that spread in the world, Lucrecia was vaguely aware of the truth.

If it were on another occasion, she would probably be willing to start a long and arduous research work on this, and would be willing to contact scholars from various city-states for this purpose, so that the minds of smart people can unite to understand this. All the secrets of collision.

But now is obviously not the right time.

The paper-folded boat was shaking crazily in a violent impact, like a small boat caught in a storm. This impact was centered on the constantly collapsing Sirantes, and was released to the entire world, and then seemed to be swept away by the world. The "end" reflection generally turns back, echoing between heaven and earth again and again.

In this violent impact and tearing that was far beyond what human beings could contend with, the small paper boat made an unsettling tearing noise. Even the powerful "Sea Witch" felt that her control of the ship was quickly approaching its limit.

Shirley saw the solemn look on Lucretia's face at a glance, and immediately hugged Agou's head and exclaimed loudly: "Are we going to fall!!!"

Lucretia frowned tightly. She did not answer Shirley's call, but quickly scanned the world that was already fragmented and was quickly on the verge of destruction. Then she suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the earth in the distance: "We Land over there.”

"Isn't that just asking for death!" Shirley suddenly shouted, "Do you think there is any place to stay on this ground?!"

"The 'erosion' has stopped. At this stage, the flames are burning everything - it's just fire, far friendlier than those weird and distorted shadows." Lucretia turned her head and glanced at Shirley, ignoring the following. No matter what reaction he had, he started to control the rickety paper boat and flew quickly towards the place in the forest where the fire was less intense.

Accompanied by Shirley's screams, the paper-folded boat broke through the smoke in the forest, traveling between the two worlds that had turned into purgatory. The canopy of Silantis collapsed above their heads, and the burning giant trees and leaves were like The collapsing nightmare fell from around the boat to the earth, and the piece of upside-down land was still falling slowly. Now Shirley could almost clearly see the ravines and rolling sand dunes on the ground above -

It fell so slowly, as if the process could last forever, but its fall was so unstoppable and continuous, just like the slowly approaching doomsday, crushing everything in the world inch by inch.

Lucretia controlled the small boat with all her strength and kept scanning the forest with her eyes, trying to find a relatively "safer" landing place in that purgatory.

A blur of flash suddenly caught her eye.

The next second, the boat sailed in that direction very fast - so fast that Shirley almost thought it was falling after losing control - it passed through the rain of fire falling from the sky in an extremely thrilling way, and passed through an unknown time. The dust that began to fill the sky and earth, floating and rolling like a phantom, rushed straight towards the flash of light deep in the forest.

The flash gradually became clearer.

It was a generally cone-shaped protective barrier supported by a light curtain.

Shirley also saw the light curtain. She lay on the edge of the paper boat in surprise and stared downward for a long time with her eyes wide open. Finally, she recognized the two familiar figures from the barrier: "Ah! It's Nina and the old man. Son!"

With Shirley shouting in surprise, the paper boat carrying her and Lucretia roared across the last distance, and finally reached its limit at the last moment it touched the ground. It fell apart in the impact and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Turned into fine dust.

Shirley held Agou in her arms and jumped out at the last moment in a panic. She hugged the dog and rolled in a ball on the ground for more than ten times before finally stopping in front of the cone-shaped dim light.

She raised her head and saw Nina standing inside the barrier, and Mr. Morris with a shocked expression next to her.

A pile of swirling colored papers landed smoothly next to Shirley, and Lucretia's figure formed from the papers.

Nina waved to them from within the barrier.

Shirley and Lucretia looked at each other, and without hesitation walked into the "light curtain" that seemed fragile, but actually blocked the tide of destruction in the forest.

For a moment, it seemed as if the whole world had gone silent.

The terrifying noise howling in the forest became inaudible, the scorching storm that swept across the entire land was blocked from the light curtain, and the acrid smoke and poisonous mist that evaporated in the firelight were also blocked from the outside. Shirley She even felt a breath of fresh air coming towards her - she lowered her head and even saw a few grasses under her feet, and a small bush next to her.

"Awesome..." She raised her head in shock and looked at Nina and Morris, "How did you do this? Lucretia and I could only escape to the sky..."

"Not us." Nina just shook her head slightly, then turned sideways, raised her finger and pointed in a certain direction behind her and Morris.

Shirley looked there in surprise, and the next second, her eyes widened slightly.

A small tree took root there quietly, taking root in the disintegrating land.

Her trunk is slender and delicate, and her long branches spread all the way to the sky, and then hang down from the edge of the crown, swaying gently in the breeze.

With this small tree as the center, a cone-shaped light curtain constructs the final safe shelter.

In a daze, Shirley seemed to hear a voice——

"Follow me, I will take you to the Wall of Silence..."

Then, the sound disappeared in the wind.

"We are now at the wall of silence," Nina turned her head and looked into Shirley's eyes, "the last, real wall of silence."

Shirley was stunned for a while, then slowly came to the small tree. The branches hanging from the edge of the canopy brushed her shoulders, feeling a little itchy.

She turned around and looked outside the thin curtain of light.

The world is collapsing, and the majestic crown of Sirantes is gradually bending, disintegrating, and crashing under the "weight" of another world. The forest is burning, and the earth in the distance is lifted up by invisible forces, toward the inverted desert in the sky. Slowly rolling up, the flames seemed to have spread to the desert, and hazy, a layer of hazy smoke was emerging on the surface of "that world".

But all the sounds seemed distant, as if they came from another world, like the gentle waves coming from outside a closed window at dusk.

"Yeah...it's really quiet."

Even Shirley knew that this silence probably wouldn't last long.

But at least for this second, the disintegrated world was no longer chasing her, even if what blocked it all... was just a layer of beautiful bubbles.

What happens next?

Vanna narrowed her eyes slightly in the wind.

She saw that the upside-down world had gradually touched the ground beneath her feet - the first thing it touched was the astonishingly large "World Tree". Its crown had now touched the surface, and the once giant finally disappeared. place, and now, it has become the "contact point" where the two worlds first came into contact, and then the mountains in the distance came into contact. The mountains in the forest and the mountain range at the end of the desert came into contact, and there is now an explosion there. The continuous flash of light seemed to be brewing a storm that could tear the world apart.

The sea of ​​fire spread and flowed above her head, and she could see the lush world being torn apart in flames - and the same was true of the desert beneath her feet.

But the "collision" of the two worlds is getting slower and slower, as if some force is forcibly delaying its progress and intervening in this doomsday.

Fanna lowered her head and looked at the bright ball of light in her hand - tiny flames were flowing on the surface of the sun, and the brilliance that burst out from the flames once illuminated a brilliant civilization before the Deep Sea Age. .

To this day, the sun is still there.

She raised her head again and looked not far away from her.

The huge cane is still inserted quietly in the sand dunes. The sea of ​​fire hanging upside down in the sky shines on its rough cane body and head that are like tree trunks and stones. The firelight flows on its rocky surface, reflecting in the light and shadow. There are countless words carved on it by giants.

In a daze, Vanna seemed to understand them - she looked at the detailed words and symbols line by line, as if she heard the giant's deep and gentle voice narrating in her ears.

“…here they learned to use fire.

“Here they discovered the secrets of farming.

"Here, there was a flood - the water overflowed the land, bringing death and panic, but then left fertile soil...

"They learned how to build ships...

"They learned to harness the power of thunder..."

Vanna slowly came to the cane, raised her head and looked at the last blank space at the end of it.

It's no longer blank there.

At some point, the giant had carved the last line of text there—the god who recorded history completed his last sentence on the chronicle:

"Tarejin and the Traveler complete their final journey."

A strange smell and disturbing rustling sound came from the distance, and unusual heat was flowing in the air, condensing invisibly.

Fanna turned around and looked in a certain direction she perceived.

She saw those streams of light that were constantly converging - in the raging fire and distorted light and shadow caused by the collision of the two worlds, the chaotic light streams got into this place from some kind of "gap", and those light streams gradually dispersed The fire emitted scorching heat and gathered into an increasingly larger fireball in the sky not far away.

The fireball began to take on an attitude like the sun, its edges trembled, splitting into gushing streams of flames, and it began to float between the two worlds like the sun, releasing unsettling pressure and heat waves wantonly - and then , it gradually lowered its height in the desert, and slowly turned its true side towards Vanna.

Countless twisted and stacked tentacles are hidden in the glorious sun shell. Inhuman eyeballs are looking indifferently at the inquisitor standing next to the sand dune.

"Kneel down."

The descendant of the god said.
