Chapter 196: Lost in a Different World and the Mystery of Creation
After the glory of the Eternal Palace gradually faded, Lin Yu, Su Yao and Zhao Hao stepped out of the door to the unknown. They felt relieved that they had completed their mission, but also worried about the unknown future. However, when they saw the light of day again, the scene in front of them made the three of them dumbfounded - the familiar underground world no longer existed, replaced by a desolate and chaotic world. The sky seemed to be pressed down by heavy leaden clouds, lightning flashed across the sky from time to time, and the thunder was deafening.
"This... where are we?" There was a slight tremor in Lin Yu's voice. He looked around, trying to find a familiar clue in this unfamiliar place.
Su Yao frowned, her eyes as sharp as an eagle, scanning the surroundings, trying to capture something from the subtle changes in the environment. "It seems that the power of the Heart of the Creator is far more complicated than we imagined. It may have triggered some ancient seal and teleported us to another world."
Zhao Hao seemed calmer. He quickly analyzed the current situation: "We must adapt to the environment here as soon as possible and find a way to return to the Magic Academy. At the same time, we must also be alert to possible dangers."
The three decided to find a safe shelter first so as to plan their actions further. They traveled through the wilderness with overgrown weeds and dead trees, and every step seemed extremely difficult. Finally, in a hidden valley, they found an abandoned ancient ruins, which seemed to have been inhabited by people.
Although the interior of the ruins was dilapidated, it still retained some of its former glory. Lin Yu found a yellowed diary on a dusty stone table. On the cover of the diary were written the four characters "Traveler from Another World" in ancient characters. He carefully opened the diary, which recorded the adventure experience of a senior in this world and his unique insights into the legend of the God of Creation.
"Look here," Lin Yu pointed to a passage in the diary and said excitedly to Su Yao and Zhao Hao, "This senior mentioned the concept of 'space-time rifts'. He believes that there is some connection between this world and our world, and if we find these rifts, we may be able to find a way back."
Su Yao's eyes lit up, and she quickly flipped through the rest of the diary, looking for more useful information. "Not only that, he also mentioned three key locations: the Peak of Time, the Abyss of Memory, and the Abyss of Eternity. It is said that these places hide the powerful power left by the God of Creation, and are also the key to unlocking the secrets of this world."
Zhao Hao pondered for a moment and put forward a bold hypothesis: "If the records of this predecessor are true, then perhaps by exploring these places we can not only find the way home, but also solve the mystery of this world."
The three hit it off and decided to follow the clues in the diary to visit the three mysterious places one by one. The first place they went to was the Summit of Time, an island suspended in the air, where it was said that there were strange sands flowing on it that could reverse time - the Sands of Time.
After going through dense forests and climbing mountains, they finally arrived at the entrance of the island after many hardships. The island was filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, as if every grain of sand was telling a story of the past. They stepped onto the island carefully and began to look for traces of the sand of time.
In the center of the island, they found a huge hourglass-shaped building, with the two ends of the hourglass connecting the sky and the earth respectively, and golden sand flowing slowly in the middle. These sands shone with strange light in the sun, as if they contained infinite power.
"Is this the sand of time?" Lin Yu stretched out his hand to touch the sand, but was bounced away by an invisible force. He was surprised to find that his hand became much older the moment he touched the sand, and then quickly returned to its original state.
"It seems that these grains of sand have the power to control time," Su Yao stepped back vigilantly, "We must be careful to avoid being hurt by their power."
Zhao Hao began to study the structure of the hourglass, trying to find a way to control the flow of sand. "If I can master this power," he muttered to himself, "maybe I can find a way to leave this world."
After some effort, Zhao Hao finally found a tiny mechanism at the bottom of the hourglass. He carefully touched the mechanism, and the sand in the hourglass began to flow back at an alarming speed. The entire island seemed to be twisted by the power of time at this moment, and space began to twist and fold...
When everything returned to calm, the three found themselves in a completely new environment. They looked around and found that this was a magical valley with a clear spring in the middle of the valley - the Fountain of Memory.
There were countless flickering spots of light floating on the surface of the Fountain of Memory, and each spot of light seemed to carry a memory of the past. They approached the spring, trying to capture useful information from those spots of light.
Suddenly, a spot of light rushed towards Lin Yu's forehead, and he felt a huge stream of information pouring into his mind. Those scenes flashed through his mind like a movie: the birth of the God of Creation, the creation of the world, and his struggle with the forces of darkness...
When everything was over, Lin Yu was sweating profusely, but his eyes were extremely firm. "I understand," he said with a deep breath, "We must not only find a way home, but also prevent the dark forces in this world from reviving. Because the prophecy of the Creator God tells me that the fate of this world is closely related to us."
