Roland tried to speak or move his body, but he was completely paralyzed . Several pictures fleeted in front of him .
Numerous black dots paced back and forth around the pit like ants on the move . Slowly, a platform rose . However, compared to the giant pit, the platform was incredibly small like a mound of earth .
To Roland's surprise, he had seen buildings of the same material before .
He had seen them on the mural in the Temple of the Cursed .
Roland zoomed in "screen" with his mind, and the noises grew louder . The black dots turned into wriggly creatures, which were exactly the main character on the mural, the radiation clan .
He suddenly remembered that this was exactly what the mural depicted .
A dozen radiation clansmen ascended the platform while holding the God's Relic . They encircled the platform, their bodies contracting and expanding alternatively, as if they were holding a kind of ceremony .
Below the platform were thousands of Match Men, who were pushed into the fathomless pit before the celebrating Radiation Clan .
The last piece of the Relic was inserted, and the transparent crystal became complete . It emanated a dazzling glow and drifted toward the pit . Then it plunged and disappeared from the sight .
Roland suddenly realized that this was probably what Lan called the "Bottomless Land" .
But this was just the beginning .
Roland's eye widened as he beheld the following scene .
An orange light beam erupted from the pit and soared into the air . This was exactly what the ancient witches had described as the strange phenomenon upon entering the Dream World, but the light beam was much more intense . A "Bloody Moon" hung in the sky right across where the Erosion took place . For a split moment, the Heaven and Earth were connected, and Roland realized that the entrances to the so-called Bottomless Land and the Erosion were simply the two ends of the light beam .
The Radiation Clan swarmed toward the pit as flying moths darted into the fire .
But they did not plummet into the abyss . Instead, they drifted off as if supported by something and rose to the sky .
In an instant, there were innumerable black dots around the light beam .
Is this . . . the upgrade of a civilization?
Clouds scudded across the black dots and the light beam . Watching those black dots enter a new realm, Roland felt the whole upgrade process extraordinary .
Nevertheless, a deep sigh interrupted his train of thought . The voice reverberated across his head, so clear that Roland was positive that it was not an illusion .
Then time became seemingly faster, and the pixels on the "screen" became denser .
The image changed drastically .
Roland saw a few cities and towns dotted around the pit . Apparently, not all the members of the Radiation Clan were willing to enter the new world . Some preferred to stay . Probably, they feared the sky and the unknown adventure ahead of them . Roland did not know . He only saw several black dots disappear into the passage that connected the Heaven and Earth, like those legendary, audacious adventurers who set off for their journey . They looked, however, extremely lonely since most of their clansmen were already gone .
Now, the light beam dimmed .
In the end, it flickered and then vanished .
The noise screen again occupied Roland's vision, which marked the end of the story . Roland speculated that peace would be restored eventually . The legend of the road to Heaven would become a part of the history of the Radiation Clan, a written record for future reference . Perhaps, someone else would come to seek the pit and look for the upgrade method to reach God, but this would be something many years later .
When Roland thought that this was the end, a "towering wall" suddenly appeared at the end of the horizon .
At first, he had thought it was an illusion, since the "noise screen" blocked his vision . However, when the "wall" approached the pit gradually, he finally saw what that was .
A huge wave taller than the Impassable Mountain Range pressed in and submerged the little towns below instantly . The wave was so high that the top of it almost reached the clouds in the sky . Sun rays glazed off the wave and formed a new horizon .
Roland could imagine how desperate the Radiation Clan were when they saw such a horrific scene .
But the disaster did not stop here .
After the tsunami, volcanos at the distance suddenly erupted . Ashes were sent flying in all directions and dimmed the sunlight . Thunderbolts cracked through the air . Then there came heavy rain and harsh winter . The geographical movement became, unprecedentedly, active . After several major disastrous transformations, the world had transformed into an entirely different look .
The screen started to hiss again .
The image distorted, and the pixels almost filled out the whole "screen" .
Before the scene vanished, Roland saw the glacier melt, and a green plant break through the soil and sprout .
"Your Majesty . . . "
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
Someone shook Roland and looked at him apprehensively .
His eyes snapped open, and the pixels disappeared . He found himself again in the port area .
"All . . . done?" Roland mumbled as he studied his palm .
Phyllis thought Roland was asking her, so she said, "Yes, we killed all of them . Not a single one fled . Their magic cores also disappeared a few minutes later . You stood rooted here like you've fallen asleep . Your Majesty, are you really OK?"
Roland was not sure whether he was alright or not . All he had seen a moment ago did not seem like an illusion, for he could remembered all of them . They were more like some extra memories coming out from nowhere . In addition, he felt extremely exhausted, as though he had lived thousands of years in just a few minutes .
He somehow understood that sigh .
Roland thought of Lan's words .
"The truth is always what you understand . "
Was this . . . the last of the Battle of Divine Will?
Roland took a deep breath and said, "I'm fine . I just saw some strange phenomena . "
"Strange phenomena?" Phyllis echoed while blinking . "This isn't the time to say this, Your Majesty . The light beam just now almost lit half of the port and should have attracted a lot of attention . We must go . Otherwise, the Association will notice us . "
"Got it . Let's head back the way we came," Roland agreed with a nod .
Roland was not sure whether those were the Apostle's memories or something else, but he believed that one day, he would find the answer to these questions .
And Roland believed that day would come soon .
