A roar louder than thunder, more terrifying than a landslide, echoed between the two worlds. This roar repeatedly vibrated between the two inverted pieces of earth, and even dispersed the sea of fire and smoke around Silantis, penetrated the tranquility brought by the "Wall of Silence", and startled Lucrecia and her companions who were taking a short rest.
Shirley jumped up from the ground almost instantly, subconsciously looking up in the direction of the roar while yelling, "What the hell exploded?! What the hell?"
"Look up there!" Nina ran to the edge of the protective light curtain, raised her head and tried to look at the upside-down desert continent in the sky while pointing in a certain direction, "There was a big explosion over there!"
Shirley looked in the direction of Nina's finger, her eyes widening a little.
On the upside-down continent, she saw a raging storm. The vague storm clouds swept across the earth like a moving wall, and large-scale flashes could be seen in the storm. Every time a flash occurred, the storm itself seemed to be temporarily dispersed, and a terrifying roar would echo between the two worlds - and then the storm would reshape itself and gather towards a bright flame again.
And in these repeated bombardments and explosions, the matter from the "other world" has been thrown between the two worlds. Countless sands and dust are now floating above Silantis, flowing disorderly in the gap between the two worlds as if there is no gravity, forming rivers of quicksand floating in the sky, as well as large and small dust clouds.
The slow collision process of the two worlds has come to a halt at some point, as if some external force had forcibly "stuck" the process. Only the continuous roar remained between heaven and earth, and the matter that was constantly thrown out between the two lands formed an increasingly large "cloud" in the process.
"We can't stay here any longer," Morris said suddenly. "Maybe something happened to Vanna - she has been out of contact since a while ago."
"Then where are we going?" Shirley raised her hand and pointed to another world above her head. "I have no objection, but how do we get there? The paper boat that Lucrecia folded earlier turned into ashes when it 'landed'..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lucrecia had already pulled out a piece of white paper from somewhere and waved it in front of everyone: "I have more paper here, I'll fold another one."
Shirley stared blankly at the white paper that Miss Witch took out, with a somewhat subtle expression: "Still...still folding it with paper? Isn't there a more solid way?"
Lucrecia thought about it and took out another piece of paper from her bosom.
“I stacked two of them together.”
Shirley obviously still thought this was a bit far-fetched, but she couldn't beat anyone, so she wisely and carefully kept her opinion to herself - and as she and Agou watched carefully, Lucrecia had already thrown a new paper boat over the barrier.
The paper boat quickly grew larger and stretched in the air, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a white boat, floating outside the translucent light curtain like a light cloud.
Nina stared at this scene in amazement, and finally couldn't help but exclaimed: "Amazing! How did you do that?! Can I learn from you?"
"I suggest you don't be too interested in witches' tricks," Lucrecia glanced at Nina, who was full of admiration, waved her hand and walked towards the barrier, "At this stage, it would be more useful for you to learn math, physics and chemistry first..."
Nina pursed her lips delicately, then raised her head and looked at the world beyond the barrier that had completely changed beyond all recognition.
She took a deep breath and looked back at the small tree that supported the last wall of silence.
Two seconds later, she and Shirley waved to the small tree at the same time and said goodbye softly.
A moment later, the paper boat rose silently into the sky, carrying a group of people quickly away from the scorched earth and flying towards another world hanging upside down at the end of the sky.
Shirley lay on the edge of the boat, looking down at the forest gradually covered by darkness and smoke. She watched the small cone of light gradually disappear into the smoke and finally disappear after several flashes. After a long time, she couldn't help but whispered, "Will we see that tree again?"
"No, everything here will eventually disappear - and this is the best outcome for the real world," Lucrecia's voice came from the side, with a kind of inhuman calmness and rationality, "This is just a part of the memory of the elves. Everything here has disappeared in the distant past. Silantis, Shilin, Sasloka... They died a long, long time ago."
"...I know, I know." Shirley waved her hands irritably, complaining in her tone, "It's okay if you don't say it so clearly. I just feel a little emotional..."
Lucrecia ignored Shirley's subsequent muttering. She just carefully controlled the paper boat and quickly shifted her attention from the forest below to the World Tree in the distance.
Although the slow collision of the two worlds has temporarily stopped, the collapse of Silandis is still continuing - the huge tree canopy that once covered the sky has now been completely burned through by the sea of fire flowing in the sky, turning into a horrible wreckage crisscrossed in the flames, and the remaining fire is still flowing on the branches that are winding like mountains, and part of the flames have even spread to the scope of the "other world".
But the flames that spread over seemed to be blocked by something. They could only float above the desert and could not really touch that world.
A thunderous sound came from the direction of Silantis, and the collapse of the World Tree gradually reached its peak.
The treetops burned by the flames began to break apart in large pieces, crashing to the earth like a giant city falling from the clouds. The mountains were torn apart in the collapse of the World Tree, and the gullies and canyons were gradually filled and covered with the ashes of the giant tree. Smoke and dust covered the sky, and Silendis was gradually becoming what it was when Nina and Morris first saw it.
The boat gradually approached the critical point between the two worlds.
"Everyone be careful, there may be a gravity flip soon," Morris warned, "Don't panic, hold on to the side of the boat."
Nina and Shirley reacted immediately and grabbed the edge of the paper boat very obediently. Agou also used his claws to tightly grasp the raised structure formed by the creases inside the paper boat.
Lucrecia prepared herself for the gravity reversal while carefully controlling the paper boat to continue rising.
However, just when she had made all preparations, a huge sense of crisis suddenly surged from the bottom of her heart!
There is an attack!
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Lucrecia suddenly controlled the boat to move to the side - but this response was still a step too slow. The next second, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the air and passed by. Although it only brushed past a little bit, the edge of the paper boat was instantly torn apart and ignited by the light!
And the next moment, endless light appeared before everyone's eyes.
Those were interwoven lights, a kind of barrier hidden between the two worlds. When the uninvited guests tried to approach the desert world, the hidden barrier appeared - those interwoven lights were bright and pure, as brilliant as the sun, but they also carried a burning malice and a kind of crazy, twisted and terrifying aura.
This magnificent curtain of light was surging in the sky, and the flames rising from the edge of the curtain of light were like a rainstorm falling from the sky, covering the crumbling little paper boat!
In the "rainstorm" of flames and bright light, Shirley and Agou said in unison: "What the hell is this? ! ! "
"...It's the power of the Creeping Sun!" Lucrecia had already discerned a familiar and blasphemous aura from the floating light curtain. She hurriedly controlled the boat to lower its altitude while speaking quickly, "I knew it... The Sun's Descendant had gotten in, and that thing had blocked the sky!"
Before she finished her words, a blinding flash suddenly flashed before everyone's eyes.
The flash of light almost tore the entire paper boat apart.
The shattered paper boat lost control and began to stagger towards the ground.
Shirley immediately hugged Agou's neck and shouted, "I can't fly!"
Her screams echoed in the sky, but at this moment, a strange sound of a huge object tearing and rumbling suddenly came from a distance, interrupting her voice.
The strange sound even seemed to make the whole world quiet down.
In the swaying and falling paper boat, Lucrecia opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked in the direction where the strange sound came from.
That is the trunk of Silendis.
Somewhere at the base of the trunk there was a tearing sound.
The earth was shaking, and cracks that were visible to the naked eye even at this distance appeared on the surface of the tree trunk that looked like a huge mountain - the next second, the cracks suddenly expanded, and a blazing green flame erupted from it!
Amidst the rapidly expanding spiritual flames, a huge shadow emerged from the trunk of Silantis—first the majestic bow, followed by the raised mast and translucent spiritual sails, then the broad deck, neatly arranged gun ports and the towering stern...
That was the Lost Homeland that had been completely transformed into a spirit form. Now it tore apart the wreckage of Silantis and entered this world near the roots of the World Tree.
Then it began to rise, flying over the scorched earth, over the forest where the fire was still burning, sailing over this unrecognizable and shattered world, and heading towards higher places.
The ghost ship sails in the sky under the afterglow of doomsday.
The illusory spiritual flames were like bubbles and wakes spreading on the sea, rippling and spreading behind the stern of the ship, covering and soaking the sea of fire spreading around Silandis layer by layer, as if to gradually ignite the entire world again.
