Chapter 1043: Birthplace
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“You’re telling the truth, right?” Jiang Fei stared at Miluya for a long time. He was frowning. He could not decipher the little loli’s thoughts. After all, her origin was too strange.
“Yes! Yes!” Miluya nodded again and again. Jiang Fei’s angry look made her really scared.
“Okay then.” Jiang Fei dropped it as Miluya really looked like she was not lying anymore. Moreover, he had figured it out. If Miluya really wanted to harm him, he would not be able to fight back at all. Even though she was weak, she could summon Lucifer whenever she felt threatened, and Jiang Fei was like a toy to Lucifer.
“Big brother, you’re not angry anymore, right?” Miluya asked cautiously. After all, Jiang Fei was her only playmate. If Jiang Fei stopped playing with her, she would be lonely again.
“Sigh. Nah, silly. I’m not angry anymore.” Looking at Miluya’s pitiful face, Jiang Fei could not get angry even if he wanted to.
“Great! Let’s go and play!” Miluya’s face changed so quickly. Less than a second ago, she looked so pitiful, like she was about to cry. Now, she was full of smiles.
“Let’s go!” Jiang Fei nodded. The Teleportation Point only worked one-way. There were no Teleportation Points here, so he could not go back even if he wanted to.
Even though Jiang Fei’s minimap stopped working after he entered the Celestial Realm, it still had the basic function of displaying the name of the current map. Currently, the place that Jiang Fei and Miluya were at was called “Birthplace”.
“Miluya, do you know where this Birthplace is?” Jiang Fei asked. Since the little loli had been wanting to come here, she should have some understanding of the place.
“Yes! Yes!” Miluya nodded again and again. Then, she proudly began to share the legend of this Birthplace with Jiang Fei, as if she was offering her valuable experience.
Legend has it that the center of this forest was where the birth of life took place. Regardless of whether it was the first Ancient God or the Humans and other Races that came later on, they were all born here.
However, although Birthplace was in the Celestial Realm, not everyone could come here. If you wanted to enter Birthplace, you had to be below Celestial tier. Once you reached Celestial tier, you would not be able to enter.
Moreover, you could only enter Birthplace through four one-way Teleportation Points which were located in the palaces of the top four Ancient Gods.
The top four Ancient Gods were the four Elemental Lords—Therazane the Stonemother, Neptulon the Tidehunter, Ragnaros the Firelord, and Al’Akir the Windlord.
Among these top four Ancient Gods, the Stonemother, Tidehunter, and Firelord were still alive. So, it was almost impossible to enter their palaces. However, the Windlord had been killed by King Zhou of Shang and his temple had been abandoned for a long time. Hence, it became Miluya’s target.
“What do you plan to do here?” Jiang Fei asked curiously.
“Play!” Miluya grinned innocently. She had not been trying to get to Birthplace because there was something she wanted. She simply thought that it would be fun to come here. The more her brother and sister tried to stop her from coming here, the more adamant she was about it. That was it.
“Okay…” Jiang Fei nodded. The minds of children were not as complicated and corrupted as that of adults. Their motives could be pure, sometimes unbelievably so.
Jiang Fei and Miluya continued forward. They were getting closer to the core of the forest, but it was surprisingly quiet. Nothing came to bother them at all.
After about half an hour, Miluya suddenly pointed to the front and shouted, “Big brother, look!”
Jiang Fei looked at where Miluya was pointing. A big tree stood tall and proud in the distance, distinguishing it from the other trees around it. The big tree was several hundred times taller than the surrounding trees and its trunk was dead straight. It looked as if it was going to pierce through the sky!
“Let’s go there and have a look.” Jiang Fei was also attracted by the big tree. He held Miluya’s hand and ran forward. However, Jiang Fei quickly understood that it was easier said than done!
Although it felt like the big tree was not far ahead, Jiang Fei and Miluya only arrived near it after running for more than four hours.
“This…” Jiang Fei was standing in front of a lake. The tree was located on a small island in the center of the lake. In fact, the small island was not small at all, because the big tree was nearly a kilometer wide and tens of thousands of meters tall!
“Such a thing only exists in the game!” Jiang Fei exclaimed as he looked at the giant tree in the distance. The tree looked like a pillar that propped the sky up. Such a magnificent scene did not exist in reality.
“Big brother, let’s go!” Miluya wanted to drag Jiang Fei down the water.
“Wait!” Jiang Fei stopped Miluya. He remembered what his teacher Ou Yezi told him before he set off. It was more dangerous up in the sky and underwater!
If an Ascended Celestial like Ou Yezi said it was dangerous, Jiang Fei was unsure whether Lucifer could save them if they ran into trouble. So, he did not dare to rush into the water. If he died, he would have to return to the Overworld to resurrect. However, Ou Yezi could not sacrifice another Ancient God to send him back to the Celestial Realm. So, Jiang Fei who was carrying the burdening Quest which required him to destroy the Altar did not dare to take any risks.
“What’s wrong, big brother?” Miluya asked, confused.
“It might not be safe underwater.” Jiang Fei’s brows furrowed.
“Don’t worry!” Miluya smiled sweetly, then released Jiang Fei’s hand and ran toward the lake.
“Miluya, luyaluyaluya…” Miluya chanted joyfully. The next moment, something that shocked Jiang Fei happened. The little loli did not swim over to the island. Instead, she ran on the water!
She was extremely fast. Her two legs were like wheels, forming a string of ripples as she moved. In a blink of an eye, she was out of sight.
What is with this girl? Jiang Fei brain was filled with question marks.
Anyhow, Miluya was already on the island. Now, the question was whether or not Jiang Fei was going to go underwater.
“Whatever!” Jiang Fei decided to risk it. He was already here, and there was no way back. Maybe, he could go back to the Celestial Realm if he got to the big tree. So, even if it was dangerous, he had to take the risk.
However, Jiang Fei did not enter the water. Since being underwater was as dangerous as being up in the sky, flying over was way faster than swimming. His time in danger would be shortened, so the chance of encountering danger would reduce significantly. Hence, it was safer to ride the Evol. Skygliding Dragon!
Whistle!
Jiang Fei summoned the Evol. Skygliding Dragon.
“Go!” Following a shout, Jiang Fei rode his Mount and flew right on top of the surface of the water. He was trying to minimize the risks as much as possible.
Although he was tens of miles away from the island, he crossed the distance pretty quickly with the Evol. Skygliding Dragon. After a few minutes, Jiang Fei was already close to the island. Right then, however, Jiang Fei heard a sharp sound coming from behind him.
