Chapter 1243 - The Legend of the Origin of Chaos (1/2)

Inspectors observed the world from a unique perspective. Since they observed from a different angle, their focuses were often unusual. The chaotic forces and the Festered in the wilderness did not surprise Hao Ren at all. But when he saw the sun of Collow, he regarded it as a crucial finding.

A star was shining on this world.

It meant that there was at least a planetary system in the alien dimension of Collow. If Veronica’s description was correct, the planet here might be understood as a series of broken space continent floating in space. But at least the sun in the sky was real—it was a complete and functioning celestial body.

The power of Chaos had not spread to the sun.

He could look directly at the star with his strengthened physique without having to worry about his eyes getting blinded by the bright sunlight. He squinted because it was habitual to human. Gazing at the sun, he began to reevaluate his understanding of the war of Chaos in Collow.

The tens of thousands of years of war might only happen on the earth. All the dark forces in this anomalous dimension were confined to one place. At least as far as he could see, the star was not affected by the distortion of the law. Then what caused the Collow fell into this dark power?

Sir Morian had noticed Hao Ren’s action and realized Hao Ren’s identity as the ancient guardian. He said, “Please don’t stare at the sun like this. The light of Ulo will blind you. You haven’t seen the sun for many years. No. Have you seen the sun before?”

Hao Ren was started for a while and did not know how to react. Ulo was probably a religious name for the sun in this world, and Morian’s question was little inexplicable. “Why do you think I have never seen the sun before?”

“Legend has it that the tide of Chaos 10 centuries ago was unprecedented. Half of the world, except the sanctum, had fallen into eternal darkness. For a hundred years, thick clouds were blocking the light of Ulo, and humans were relying on the power of magic and faith to survive. In the place where the eternal night existed, generations of people had never seen the sun.”

Now Hao Ren began to understand. He appeared calm. “I have of course seen the sun, and I have seen it many times.”

I have even blown up one, Hao Ren whispered to himself.

“Ahh, forgive my gaffe.” Sir Morian immediately bowed a little and apologized, and his attitude was frank.

“It doesn’t matter.” Hao Ren waved his hand and continued to gaze into the distant land.

The airships flew faster than Hao Ren had expected. Their maker had not yet figured out the way to seal the cabin, but the airships had runes around their hulls, which could not only control airflow but also reduce the drag down to an incredibly low level and thus increase speed. Soon the mountains in the west had become a faint silhouette at the end of the horizon while the sight ahead was becoming the ‘normal.’

They were flying over a plain, and the vast expanse of land was covered in lush vegetation. Two glittering rivers ran across the plains, and they eventually flowed into a half-moon lake. On both sides of the river were towns and villages. Looking at this height, they appeared like small wooden blocks laid flat on the ground. Around these ‘wooden blocks’ were yellow crop fields and pastures.

Roads crisscrossed between towns and villages. With his supervision, Hao Ren could even see the horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians traversing the streets.

All of this was under the glorious sun of Ulo. Everything was brimming with life and orderly.

Hao Ren looked back to the west, where the mountains were almost invisible. But the light pillar of Fort West was still standing as if a fine silver thread at the end of the dark blue sky, where the boundary of Chaos was.

If he had not come from the realm of Chaos, he could hardly believe that the earth at the end of the horizon was the world shrouded in chaos. The worlds on both sides of the barrier were so distinctly different.
