Shadow Hack - Chapter 296
Chapter 296: Flux Ancestor Perishes
After Li Yunmu indifferently asked that question, Zhan Wuya and others’ faces turned unsightly, almost as if he had hit the nail and brought to the open the concealed schemes in everyone’s heart.
“Everyone, I believe Sister Qinghong promptly killing him was quite correct. Clearly, this Ye Qing wanted to drive a wedge among us before dying. As for his words that he knew a way to return, I don’t believe him,” Zhongshan Anling said suddenly.
“That’s right, I feel that him dying was the best outcome for all of us. In my opinion, this is fair to everyone and now we can get back to our proper business. Don’t forget, that the two deserters have already fled.”
Li Yunmu had to accept that not every descender was like Zhan Wuya, ready to fight at the slightest hint of conflict. Zhongshan Anling, Xie Qianxue, and even Lu Bu came forward in Li Yunmu’s support.
Hai Yue, on the other hand, was still acting as the middleman, trying to mediate between the two sides.
Finally, Zhan Wuya and others had to unwillingly let this matter go.
“Let’s go, we should move towards the south.”
The entire northern side was occupied by the dragon corpse resembling an enormous mountain range, leaving behind only a few directions to pick from.
After settling the matters, the group of descenders finally began to move. This lasted for more than two months.
Even if the descenders had formidable mental fortitude, but almost all of them were bewildered, thinking that they would never be able to walk out of this enormous jungle.
During this time, everyone hastened on with their journey. They would rush through the jungle and hunt animals which were in abundance when they got hungry. Thus they didn’t lack food, while as for water, everyone had stored sufficient purified water, not to mention that they still had micro water purifying devices in their fluxer badge.
In this enormous jungle which didn’t lack moisture, they didn’t have to worry about shortage of food or water.
After getting sufficient rest, they would continue with their journey. In this way, while walking through this enormous jungle where there was no sunlight or any vestiges of human habitat for two months, the group had turned completely silent, rushing through their journey day after day.
Who could’ve expected that this jungle would surpass their imagination. Given the speed at which they were moving, even if they couldn’t cover a thousand kilometer each day, they would certainly cover at least several hundred.
But even then, during this journey of two months, some of them who lacked willpower begun to wonder if they had entered an illusionary land once again.
Fortunately, everyone continued to persevere for two months, and then finally the hope appeared before them—the surrounding trees began to grow sparse.
What did this imply?
Everyone was clear that the great change in surroundings meant that the exit of the jungle was close.
At this moment, everyone was finally able to collect their thoughts and calm down, although astonishment still filled their hearts. Just to transverse this jungle, they had to travel for two whole months. Considering that they covered seven hundred kilometers every day, then in nearly three months, they had traversed around twenty thousand something kilometers.
This distance was equivalent to the distance between two corners of their Earth. However, here they had only exited the jungle after covering so much distance?
In other words, the length of this enormous jungle in the origin world was almost equivalent to their earth’s diameter?
The majority of the group didn’t dare to believe it, but they had no choice but to accept this incredulous fact. At this point, everyone recalled the enormous dragon corpse and realized something.
Perhaps only such a world whose enormity cannot be fathomed could nurture such a terrifyingly enormous life-form.
After adapting and experiencing the past few months, this group of descenders which included the proud sons and daughters of heavens finally lost the arrogance which was inherent to their nature.
Perhaps all of them could be considered as extremely talented in their world, but here even the disciples of War God Temple like Zhan Wuya had to restrain their innate tendency to act superior.
Because here, they were nothing.
Everyone clenched their teeth and continued to advance in the same direction. After advancing for two more days, the blue sky filled with clouds appeared in front of them once more. Seeing this, all of them couldn’t help but rejoice and quickly walk out.
Once they did so, a heavy pressure suddenly forced everyone to bend their backs. Their complexions changed, and all of them thought that they had encountered another formidable life-form, like the dragon’s corpse.
However, this time it was too serious.
All of them made some slight adjustments and looked at each other with gazes filled with shock. This wasn’t a suppression but gravity, the pull exerted by the world.
“It’s at least several tens of times greater than our Earth’s gravity,” Xiye Hanbei said coldly. He fiercely brought out his strength and began to straighten his body. But those descenders who had slightly weaker physical body were finding it quite hard to even breath at this moment.
“Are you both all right?”
Li Yunmu became apprehensive inwardly. It was completely out of his expectations that this enormous jungle might actually be blocking this sort of enormous gravitational pull.
Currently, everyone seemed to have reached some sort of agreement to remain silent about this descending region.
None of them was a fool. They had an increasingly greater sensation that this enormous jungle was quite unique and mystical, and they were now completely certain that the dragon corpse was part of the Black Dragon Island in their world.
The Black Dragon Island in their world wasn’t truly an island, but rather a real dragon, and the descending passage was the endpoint of the dragon’s tail.
This was an enormous life-form stretching across the origin world to the Fifty-fifth Earth. After the flux ancestor had discovered something unique about that place, he used his full strength to open a descending passage for the humanity.
But unfortunately, after the thirty-four people descended, the descending point at the dragon’s tail closed because the flux ancestor didn’t have the strength to maintain it any longer.
In other words, the youths that went down had lost the path to return back to their world. Perhaps after a few years, the flux ancestor could restore his power through the Tower of Glory and this descending passage would be opened again.
However, Li Yunmu and the others weren’t aware of a very important fact at this moment.
After they had left the Earth and descended into the origin world, an event occurred which shook all of the six continents—fluxer association’s Tower of Glory collapsed.
One after another, a cobweb of enormous cracks appeared on its surface, after which the Tower of Glory shattered like an ordinary building and collapsed completely.
Soon after, the headquarters of the fluxer association, which contained the heavenly world of the flux ancestor, also began to collapse.
Violent winds, hellfire, thunder, poison mist, and many other calamities appeared without any source, and cracks appeared everywhere in the heavenly world. The entire reserve force of the fluxer association, whether they were Flux Masters or Flux Sages, couldn’t escape this catastrophe.
The seven suns of the flux ancestor’s heavenly world began to fall down one after another, each landing with a heaven-shaking explosion.
This day was remembered as the day when flux ancestor perished. Flux ancestor had died! And his heavenly world collapsed along with him.
No one, including Divine Religion, had expected that Ye Qing’s action of destroying the five transcending sage tools to use Void Displacement could be so influential even when failing to accomplish its goal. Although the Black Dragon Island hadn’t been affected, the flux ancestor perished.
With more than thirty people descending at the same time, the flux ancestor had completely exhausted the world power of his heavenly world and become extremely weak. Then, although Divine Religion’s conspiracy to destroy the Black Dragon Island didn’t succeed because of the lack of the sixth transcending treasure, but they had accidently thrown the flux ancestor into a bottomless hell.
After this event, the quasi deities spared no price to send people to the dragon’s tail where the descending point had eternally disappeared. Naturally, these people found the information about the conspiracy of Divine Religion left by the descenders, and it sent the world into further chaos.
