1167 When the Stars Are Righ (1/2)
”Chernobyl!”
Upon hearing Amon's words, Klein's first reaction was one of shock.
Back when they were approaching the bluish-black, single-eyed giant, he had come up with many possibilities, but he never expected to hear such a name.
This was akin to seeing a machine gun appear in an ancient oil painting, or a novel's plot appearing in a scientific paper. It was filled with unbelievable contradictions.
In the next second, he thought of the funny matter about how the ancient sun god had used ”His” rib to create Dark Angel Sasrir, but had named ”His” eldest son Adam. He instinctively believed that the current situation was similar, and he couldn't help but laugh.
To have Amon, who was so powerful that ”He” was almost a ”bug” in the real world, a King of Angels who always wore a sinister smile on ”His” face, speak the name with such seriousness and solemnity, it made Klein unable to hold back his laughter. Besides, he had no intention of controlling himself.
It's best if ”He” gets angry from the embarrassment and kills me… The reason Amon is this way today has largely to do with the ancient sun god's method of upbringing! The corners of Klein's mouth curved into a smile, prepared to ruthlessly vent his inner laughter.
At this moment, another bolt of silvery-white lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the deep ravine. It made Klein once again see the grayish-white building at the bottom.
This was a building that was completely different from the current style of the Fourth, Third, and even the Second Epoch.
Thump!
Klein's heart rapidly contracted before it expanded again. The smile he just made froze on his face.
Thump! Thump!
When he heard his own heartbeat, he suddenly had the common sense he had regarding the present world appear in his mind.
12 months a year, 365 days a year, has leap years…
24 hours a day, 60 minutes a day, 60 seconds a minute…
It's confirmed to be a planet…
There's a sun and a moon in the sky…
Badump! Badump! Badump!
Klein's instinct prevented him from thinking any further, but deep in his heart, there was still a ”voice.”
Could it be that I've never actually ”transmigrated”? I've always been on Earth the entire time, but I've been hanging from the door of light above the gray fog for too long, making me truly not belong to this era…
As this thought formed, many details that didn't catch his attention spewed out like a volcano in his mind.
To the easternmost front of the Sonia Sea, before entering the ruins of the battlefield of the gods, there are rotting and crumbling steel buildings around the ancient well. They appeared to be left behind by humans…
The Northern and Southern Continent are overall very similar in shape to that of North and South America. However, a large part of the isthmus that connects the two landmasses has been wiped away by some kind of power, forming the Berserk Sea with its complicated and winding sea routes… Also, Sonia Island is like the gigantic landmass in the north that drifted south… Midseashire is like the expanded and connected version of the Great Lakes of North America. It's as though it suffered a strike from a massive meteor…
The mountains and rivers on the Northern Continent have changed a lot, but the overall shape is barely recognizable…
In that case… the Western Continent where the elves come from, and the Forsaken Land of the Gods in the Eastern Continent, will correspond to Chernobyl…
In the legends of treasure out at sea, there's a lost civilization called the Newins. It sank somewhere in the Fog Sea…
The Giant King's parents are humans… The Sanguine, elves also seem to originate from humans…
I previously had two questions: Why would Sefirah Castle grab transmigrators from Earth? Why would all of them be people from my era? This can also be explained…
In the short span of two to three seconds, it was as if lightning was constantly exploding in his mind. This caused his lips to tremble slightly, as though he was trying his best to contain the backlash of his revelation.
But the moon in this world is crimson… The constellations are somewhat different from those of Earth… I'm not an astronomy aficionado, so I can't remember clearly. However, the Emperor consumed the potions from the Savant pathway. If the cosmos was completely identical, he would've discovered it a long time ago… The opposing opinion appeared in Klein's mind. They were like a strong anchor, preventing his ship from being blown away from the port in the midst of the storm.
But one second later, he remembered two lines.
One sentence was a terrifying prophecy that he had read online in his previous life:
”When the stars are right, Chaos will rise from underground, and the Great Oldest One will awaken.”
The other was:
”Be careful of the moon!”
This… That prophecy wasn't randomly made up? When the stars are right… So, this resulted in the previous discrepancies? Klein almost ignored Amon in front of him. Even his body began to tremble.
He used a great deal of strength before he sighed inwardly.
Perhaps, I've never left my hometown, but I will never be able to return home…
Just as he came to this understanding and realization, the grayish-white fog silently appeared in front of him.
This time, he directly stood in front of the Waning Forest, which corresponded to the end of the First Epoch and the early stages of the Second Epoch.
