Chapter 1155 - First Wilderness (1/2)

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Legend had it that the Creator Dragons were born in the gap between Order and Chaos. They received their shapes and lives from nothingness, and the gap was the beautiful home they grew up in. But in the end, the war between Order and Chaos spread to this land. After the five Creator Dragons realized they had no ways to resist Chaos, they left with the inhabitants and used this place as a foundation to build a brand-new refugee. This was the birth of the Dragon Soul Continent.

“Alright, we can take our time to learn about history after we head back.”

Rhode held his forehead and said in a helpless tone before turning around and scanning the surroundings.

“The biggest question now is how we got here… No, I think I figured out what happened.”

Rhode said and let out a snort. This reasoning couldn’t be simpler. When activating the channel, Rhode used the ‘coordinates’ seized from the ‘black rod’ that the black-clothed figures held. Marybelle had also confirmed there wasn’t any mistake, which proved only one thing: the channel that the black-clothed figures initially activated wasn’t connected to the Dragon Soul Continent, but was linked to the First Wilderness instead. Then, they used some unfathomable methods and got themselves to the Dragon Soul Continent. After their ambush on Erin was unsuccessful, they activated the channel and attempted to return to Earth, only to be fooled by fate. Not only were they unable to escape from Erin, but a disaster also fell upon them. It was due to this reason that Rhode subconsciously believed that their initial location was the Dragon Soul Continent… which was truly a tragedy.

“Well… there should be a way to return to the Dragon Soul Continent from here, I suppose.”

The situation wasn’t looking great. Rhode sensed the obvious nothingness in this place, and he was unable to properly use his powers. This place was also inferior to Earth. Even though magic spells were non-existent on Earth, their various rules were still robust. But here, perhaps not even the ‘robust’ rules had taken shape and even drawing power from the Illusion Crystal was somewhat challenging. It was apparent that this place was like a land of demise that would mercilessly devour and bring everything into an eternity of death.

“There is indeed a way, Your Majesty.”

Shortly after, Marybelle nodded and said in response.

“The First Wilderness and the Dragon Soul Continent are connected via the Seven Fantasy Boundaries. Back then, after the Creator Dragons established the Dragon Soul Continent, they abandoned the First Wilderness entirely. In order to prevent Chaos from taking advantage of a lapse, they sealed this world, linked it with the Seven Fantasy Boundaries, and put us in charge…” Marybelle said and waved her magic wand gently. Upon hearing her words, Rhode knitted his brows.

“If I recall correctly, shouldn’t the deity wardens be watching over the channel connecting the main plane of existence and underworld?”

“That is also our responsibility. Be it the plane channels of the Seven Fantasy Boundaries or underworld, they are under our jurisdiction. As a matter of fact, the plane channels of the Seven Fantasy Boundaries and underworld are connected. The passageway at the junction between hell and the abyss is nothing more than a projection. If any demon lords or devil lords were to arrive at the main plane via that channel…”

Marybelle paused, but Rhode fully understood what she meant. It seemed like the deity wardens were truly smart. They said that they were guarding the channel and yet, secretly turned it into a projection. If any demons or devils were that naive to rush into the channel, they would perhaps fall off and plunge right into the Seven Fantasy Boundaries, even if they managed to defeat the guards who were watching the channel.

Then… there was no more then. Rhode didn’t even want to imagine how the unfortunate demons and devils who fell into the Seven Fantasy Boundaries would be thrashed. But that wasn’t an issue he should be concerned about.

“So now, we just have to find and enter the sealed entrance to the Seven Fantasy Boundaries. I suppose you’ve felt it too, Your Majesty. This is a place of exile and far away from the core of the Dragon Soul Continent. The strength of Order is extremely weak here, so we need to pick up the pace.”

“No problem.”

Upon hearing Marybelle’s remarks, Rhode nodded in agreement and gazed at his group. Fortunately, even though there didn’t seem to be any signs of life here, they wouldn’t starve to death anytime soon. As long as one reached the level of Rhode, Mini Bubble Gum, Erin, and Lydia, one basically didn’t need to consume food anymore. On the other hand, Canary No. 2 and Bubble No. 2 were Phantom Guardians who didn’t need food either. As for the rest… they were fortunate that Marybelle prepared food supplies before leaving Earth. Rhode had to admit that he felt wonderful having such a meticulous person beside him who could handle everything. For instance, Rhode didn’t expect the teleportation to go wrong, so he wasn’t prepared for this situation. In his opinion, since they were heading back to the Dragon Soul Continent, they could use a group teleportation spell and return home straight after. But perhaps due to Marybelle’s experience in teleportation failures, she apparently was more attentive to details. Not only did she consider possible issues in teleportations, but she also thought about how to regroup and contact one another in case everyone was scattered to different locations.

Back then, Rhode thought Marybelle was too on edge. But now, it seemed like… it was better to be safe than sorry.

After making the decision with Marybelle, Rhode instructed her to organize and get everyone ready. Meanwhile, he gathered Erin, Lydia, and the others to explain the details of the current situation. After listening to his words, the group had different reactions.

“How boring, I just wanna head back as soon as possible.”

Mini Bubble Gum pouted and said in a restless tone.

“I wanna show Christie and the others the high tech stuff I brought back from Earth… Sigh, why did we face such a troublesome problem? Hurry up and let’s go, Leader. I’ve had enough!”

“No problem, Rhode. I’ll heed your advice.”

As usual, the two Canarys didn’t have any complaints. They held each other’s hands and said with a smile.

“First Wilderness, huh… I read about it on the historical records, but I didn’t expect to actually come here…”

Erin mumbled, lifting her head and scanning this abandoned land with a complicated gaze. At a glance, it appeared so illusory and lifeless as though it were dumped in a corner to be wrapped in spider webs over time, causing it to lose its vibrancy and turn into dust. Just by looking at this scene, one felt a deep loneliness that came from being abandoned.

“There comes a day when all things pass away. No one can escape the current of time. All glory and splendor will turn to dust after a hundred years, not even the most beautiful sculpture will be preserved forever. But… When I witness this scene for myself, I can’t help but feel like it’s a pity…”

Lydia was as poetic as usual. But this time, Rhode gazed at her with an odd expression.

“Erm… Your Highness Lydia?”

“Hmm? Is anything the matter, Your Majesty Rhode?”

“Please pardon my rudeness, but do you not intend to change your clothes?”

Even though they were back to the world of the Dragon Soul Continent, Lydia apparently had no intention of changing her attire back as a native. On the contrary, her dress-up was extremely erotic. She wore super-short jeans that revealed the elegant curves of her snowy thighs to everyone, as well as a pair of white calfskin boots. On her upper body was a short-sleeves t-shirt that exposed her bellybutton. She had also put on a slanted sunhat and seemed just like a hot chick who would show up at bars… In all fairness, if Lydia were to wear this attire to a bar and danced, Rhode didn’t feel like anything would be out of place. But now, they had returned to the Dragon Soul Continent and were discussing an important topic… the level of contradiction was full to bursting!

“Oh? Why would you bring that up, Your Majesty Rhode?”

Upon hearing his words, Lydia blinked curiously and revealed a delighted smile. Then, she leaned forward and gazed at him slyly. Rhode couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. He had to admit that this attire suited her a lot. But…

Rhode shifted down his gaze to the two pointed spots on the young lady’s towering chest that were poking through the t-shirt. Looking at this magnificent view, Rhode let out a helpless sigh.

“In any case, you are an archangel. So I don’t think it is too appropriate for you to… Well, at least wear a bra or something…”

“That thing is too tight and unbearable. I feel like women in that world are torturing themselves to dress up that way. I just can’t figure out why they would allow that thing to restrict their bodies.”

Well said, Your Highness Archangel! After I transmigrate the Dragon Soul Continent to the solar system, I will make sure you spread this doctrine to the rest of the world!
