Chapter 445 The Sea and Sky are One Color, A Bizarre Situation
In the sky city forged from white jade crystal.
Lord Lynn, from the Dynasty of Nature, personally visited this place, naturally becoming the focus of everyone's attention.
Although the difference in their cultivation levels caused some doubt and astonishment among many Morning Star Wizards in Sky City.
But they clearly dared not truly express these emotions.
After all, he was a lord, a true high-ranking figure within the Natural God Dynasty, second only to His Majesty the Radiant Moon.
No one dares to offend such a person easily.
So, as Lynn and his group stepped onto the floating carpet, they officially set foot on the white jade crystal ground of the Sky City.
The wizard Sean, who had been accompanying Lynn, naturally took a half step back, and Bryce took his place.
At this moment, Lynn was walking in the very center. To his left was Bryce, the representative of Sky City, and to his right was Warren, the lord of Earth City.
The three walked side by side, followed by a group of Morning Star wizards.
Along the way, wherever Lynn's gaze fell, he would casually ask about something.
Both Lord Warren and Bryce would take the initiative to explain immediately.
In many cases, before Lynn even actually spoke, the two had already guessed his question.
Such a scene would only happen if it weren't in the wizarding world.
It would likely lead people to mistakenly believe that this is a supreme king in a mortal kingdom inspecting the fiefdoms of nobles.
Moreover, there were both Bryce, who harbored some dissatisfaction with the Natural God Dynasty, and Lord Warren, who already held Lynn in high esteem.
At this moment, their attitude is almost always one of "speaking frankly and without reservation".
This feeling of being surrounded by a group of Morning Star Wizards, like the moon being surrounded by stars.
Even Lynn had to admit that it was indeed quite useful.
Especially compared to the old nobles of the Western Forest Domain...
These Morning Star Wizards in the Pano plane are so much more pleasing to the eye.
After all, those old nobles in the Western Forest Domain hadn't shown him, the newly appointed lord, any respect whatsoever.
Forget about cooperating; many people even wish they could sideline him.
Thinking of this, Lynn glanced casually behind him out of the corner of his eye.
At this moment, Wizard Sean was standing in the second row.
He was still wearing that spotless white aristocratic robe, exuding elegance and composure.
Beside him, Anton, the patriarch of the Rockefeller family, secretly glanced at his ancestor.
Clearly, even he was unsure what Sean was thinking.
After all, almost everyone in the entire Western Forest Domain once believed that Sean was the most likely person to become the lord in the future.
Even if he ultimately cannot truly succeed as lord.
However, given his status as the "only noble family in the Western Forest Domain," the new lord, whoever he may be, will have to give him some respect.
To everyone's surprise, the one who ultimately succeeded to the throne was a fourth-level wizard.
Moreover, he was a newly minted wizard with no background or connections.
Therefore, the old nobles naturally wouldn't give Lynn a friendly look.
What they wanted was never just "face," but the real power and interests of the entire Xiyuan Forest Domain.
But who could have imagined that the newly promoted fourth-level wizard, who was originally no threat in their eyes, would actually persevere step by step.
He not only defused numerous open and covert attacks from the old aristocracy.
Now, having broken through to level five, it has forcibly integrated the entire Xiyuan Forest Domain under the guise of extraterritorial war, and even Sean has had to temporarily bow down and cooperate.
Looking back now, if the old nobles hadn't been so aggressive when Lynn first ascended to the throne...
Instead, they were willing to sit down and have a proper talk with the new lord.
Perhaps the situation would never have come to this.
Even if the Western Yuan Forest Domain is not divided equally, the old nobles can still firmly control more than 30% of the discourse power.
Instead of what it is now, where it still appears to be high and mighty on the surface, but in reality, Lynn has already gradually stripped away most of its power, resulting in a huge loss.
However, just as Anton was secretly sighing to himself, the wizard Sean, who had always maintained a calm expression, had obviously noticed the gaze that his junior had secretly cast at him.
The next moment, a deep voice transmitted directly into Anton's mind:
"Don't overthink it."
"At least within Sky City, our current status is that of a vassal of this Level 5 Lord."
"Even if I have any ideas... I'll have to wait until I leave here before I can think about them."
As soon as the words fell, Anton felt a chill run down his spine.
He wasn't a level six wizard after all, and his telepathic communication was easily detected by others, so he could only blink almost imperceptibly to indicate that he understood.
Since even the ancestor has spoken, he can only obediently play the role of "vassal of the lord".
Meanwhile.
Ahead, after a few superficially friendly pleasantries, Lynn finally steered the conversation toward the real issue.
"Lord Bryce."
"The Earth City had sent messages to the Sky City several times before, but had never received any response."
"Can Sky City offer me an explanation for this?"
These words caused the previously relaxed atmosphere to momentarily falter.
Many Morning Star Wizards from nearby Sky Cities suddenly changed their expressions.
Even the Lord of Warren couldn't help but secretly lament his predicament.
He knew that Lord Lynn was quite upset about Sky City's previous "loss of contact".
But he really didn't expect that this lord would be so direct.
They had only just arrived in the Sky City and hadn't even truly entered the Central Temple yet.
As a result, Lynn publicly questioned them in front of so many Morning Star wizards.
This scene undoubtedly carries a hint of interrogation.
However, faced with Lynn's undisguised attack...
Bryce, however, maintained his gentle and elegant smile, as if he had expected this all along.
He bowed slightly, then slowly began to speak:
"My lord, you are unaware of this."
"In fact, at the very beginning of this interdimensional war, before those believers of the gods had actually landed on the continents and seas..."
"The Sky City, which surveyed the entire Pano plane, had already detected the anomaly in advance."
"At that time, Lord Tsukikage even personally investigated."
At this point, Bryce's tone became slightly lower.
"But no one expected that the civilization of the gods had already set up a trap in advance."
"During the process of Lord Moonshadow's attack, he was secretly plotted against by an unknown powerful figure from the side of the gods."
"Therefore, not only was it affected, but the authority over the sky held by the entire Sky City was also obscured and eroded."
"Even now, Lord Tsukikage has not yet emerged from seclusion."
“He has been in seclusion in the Central Temple these days, trying to wear down the pollution and methods from the civilization of the gods.”
Bryce spoke these words in a calm and steady tone throughout.
Even though his actual relationship with the Moonshadow Wizard was more like that of a mentor and student.
In public, however, he still respectfully addresses her as "Lord Tsukikage".
With this explanation, many of the doubts that had been in people's minds were immediately resolved.
No wonder Sky City has been almost completely silenced since the start of the war.
They neither sent anyone to aid the Ocean Kingdom nor to support the Earth Capital, and even the most basic communication went unanswered for a long time.
It turns out that the Sky City itself had already been in trouble.
Moreover, the source of the problem even directly involves the great sage known as the strongest being in the Pano plane, the Moonshadow Wizard.
After hearing this explanation, Lynn seemed thoughtful and did not press for further questions. Instead, she slowly spoke:
"How is the Lord of Moonshadow City doing now? Is there anything he is having trouble saying?"
"I do have some solutions to the corruption and contamination by the gods."
“Yes, Bryce.”
Lord Warren, standing nearby, quickly chimed in:
"In the battle of the Earth Capital, the lord personally took action and severed the connection between those legendary mages and legendary archmages and the divine kingdom."
"If the Moonshadow Wizard is not in good condition right now, why not ask the Lord to give him a try?" Warren's words were both to prove Lynn's strength and to express his heartfelt hope that the Moonshadow Wizard could recover.
After all, the Pano plane is now in a precarious state.
If the strongest being of that plane fails to appear for a long time, it will definitely not be good news for the entire wizarding community.
Upon hearing this, Bryce gave a slight bow, his posture remaining elegant and composed.
"Thank you for your concern, Lord."
"However, Lord Yueying has recovered most of her condition, but she still needs to suppress the residual divine influence in her body, so she is not able to receive guests for the time being."
"Perhaps after some time, once Lord Moonshadow has fully emerged from seclusion, she will personally come to pay her respects to the Lord."
Upon hearing this, Lynn nodded slightly, his face revealing no emotion, only an indifferent expression.
The meaning behind Bryce's words is already quite clear.
For at least this period of time, he will handle all affairs of Sky City on his behalf.
The group then continued deeper into the Sky City.
Throughout the journey, the three engaged in a question-and-answer session, and the atmosphere seemed harmonious.
Lynn asked a lot of questions:
For example, who exactly attacked the Moonshadow Wizard in the first place?
For example, is the current authority over the heavens still able to survey the entire Pano plane?
For example, if we want to launch a counterattack against the civilization of the gods, where should we begin...?
Bryce's answer was also watertight; at least on the surface, there was no problem to be found.
Even Lynn herself gradually began to have some illusions.
Could it be that I'm just overthinking things?
After all, everything had been unusually calm since we stepped into Sky City.
There was no ambush; no trap; and no sudden betrayal or hidden agenda.
The Morning Star Wizards of Sky City, on the contrary, were extremely respectful.
Especially after learning of Lynn's identity as "Lord", they dared not be negligent in the slightest.
The whole process went so smoothly that it almost felt unreal.
However, the lingering wariness in Lynn's heart never completely dissipated.
Because the more normal something is, the more abnormal it sometimes seems.
Especially... that Moonshadow Wizard who never showed up.
....................................
Meanwhile, just as Lynn led his men into Sky City...
On the other side, Wizard Ald and Sea Emperor Storm had already traversed countless kingdoms.
The two hardly stopped along the way.
To avoid revealing their whereabouts, they did not even choose to fly recklessly from high altitudes, but instead sometimes hid in the clouds and sometimes used spatial rifts to travel through.
When they occasionally encounter countries occupied by divine civilizations, they will deliberately avoid them.
After all, their purpose this time was not to fight, but to explore. And the closer they got to the edge of the continent, the more solemn their expressions became.
Because everything they saw along the way was more serious than they had imagined.
Many countries have already fallen completely, and in city after city, blue and white divine flags are hanging.
Above the sky, one could even vaguely see faint blue and white veins intertwining with each other.
The feeling was as if the entire plane of existence was being slowly covered by some kind of massive network.
What unsettled Ald most was that the closer he got to the ocean, the stronger the blue-white aura became. Eventually, the flow of elements between heaven and earth began to show a slight stagnation.
The feeling was as if all kinds of elemental energies had disappeared, and the essence of all things in the universe had changed...
The two beings at the Morning Star Wizard level advanced at full speed. Even though they constantly concealed their presence and avoided detection along the way, they eventually reached the end of the continent.
In mid-air, two figures disappeared into the depths of the churning clouds.
And at the edge of the world ahead, a deep blue outline could already be faintly seen.
Without a doubt, that was the ocean.
At this moment, however, the expressions on the faces of both Wizard Ald and Sea Emperor Storm were extremely subtle.
Especially the Sea Emperor of Storms.
This deep-sea hunter from a deep-sea civilization possesses a perception and affinity for the ocean that far surpasses that of ordinary beings.
Under normal circumstances, even if they are far apart, as long as he gets close to the sea, he can vaguely sense the flow of ocean tides, changes in deep-sea water pressure, and even detect the migration direction of sea monsters.
However, he hadn't noticed anything the whole way here.
It wasn't until Wizard Alder suddenly spoke up and reminded them that the two looked up into the distance and realized they had actually reached the edge of the continent and arrived at the ocean territory!
This in itself is the most abnormal thing.
As the two continued to move forward, the vast ocean finally came into full view.
However, at this moment, the expressions on their faces became even more strange.
Rumble!!
A deafening roar echoed continuously throughout the heavens and earth.
The sound was like billions of thunderbolts rolling simultaneously, or like countless mountains colliding with each other.
Intense moisture filled the sky, and a deep blue luster surged and churned wildly between heaven and earth.
What truly made their pupils contract was the scene before them that defied all logic.
"really……"
The Sea King stared intently ahead, his voice trembling with rage:
"The Green Forest Wizard's judgment is correct!"
"The entire ocean of the Pano plane... has really turned into such a horrible sight!"
And the so-called "ghostly appearance" is none other than:
The vast sea area that should have been covered by endless water was now exposed with large areas of deep, cracked seabed.
Looking out, you can't see the end of it at all.
There is no seawater, no waves, only countless dark rift valleys and exposed continental shelves, like a desolate abyss abandoned by the world.
But the real ocean is currently suspended in the sky!
The boundless, deep blue sea, suspended high in the sky, slowly surges.
It swayed left and right, like a vast sea of sky that had been forcibly suspended upside down!
The deafening roar earlier was not thunder at all.
It is the terrifying sound waves generated when millions of tons of seawater collide, accumulate, and churn together in mid-air!
The sea and sky blend into one color?
At this moment, the sea and sky truly merge into one!
Because the entire ocean has risen into the sky!
"and……"
Wizard Alder stared intently into the distance, his voice low and deep:
"These seawater... do not appear to be still."
"They...are moving."
Upon hearing this, the Sea Emperor of Surging Waves reacted instantly.
Sure enough, at the far end of the sky, massive, deep blue waves were slowly advancing towards this side.
It seems slow.
But that's only because the ocean is simply too vast.
So large that even when it moves, it gives people the illusion of being "still".
The two stood in mid-air, gazing into the distance.
After a moment, they finally saw it clearly.
As the waves rolled in from the distant horizon, the ocean that was suspended in the sky ahead was actually "pressed down"!
boom!!
next moment.
The boundless seawater poured down from the sky, as if the entire sky had crashed down!
It pounded heavily on the parched land and exposed continental shelf below!
In an instant, the entire world seemed to tremble violently.
Billions of tons of seawater burst open, creating a water curtain that covered the sky.
Then, the seawater will be pulled up into the sky again by some invisible force.
This cycle repeats itself endlessly, as if the entire ocean of the Pano plane is swaying from side to side!
"You said... the Sky City's patrol of the Pano plane, is it possible for them to see this scene?"
At this moment, Ald recalled what Lynn had said when they met at night, and his voice grew soft and eerie. (End of Chapter)
