On the high seas, the ship, which had been drifting with the current for two days, finally met Lin Feng, who flew in from the sky.
Renn was grabbed by Lin Feng and placed on the deck. The creaking of the wooden planks had just begun when the few people who were staring blankly on the deck immediately looked over at the sound: "Renn!"
"Uncle Maer!"
As cries of surprise arose, the pirates who had gathered around looked eagerly at the sea in the direction Lin Feng had appeared, waiting for another person to appear.
"The flying fish is dead."
Dead?
Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, the pirates' expressions changed several times, and a few of them quietly retreated to the rear.
At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly snorted coldly: "Continue along the original route. I don't want any unnecessary changes to happen along the way!"
"Yes...yes!"
A few quick-witted individuals from the crowd immediately stepped forward; they were also among the strongest of the group: "Raise the sails, accelerate forward according to the original plan!"
"yes..."
Sparse responses emerged, and the pirates returned to their posts, their former energy gone, replaced by a coldness that had been absent when Flying Fish was around.
“Mr. Magician…” Mal and Carol approached with concern.
Lin Feng glanced at the silent Dragon Ern and said slowly, "I'm fine. Just continue with the previous plan."
"Thank you." Mar bowed in gratitude.
Lin Feng patted the other person's arm: "Find a shield for Rein, preferably a tower shield."
“Hmm.” Mar glanced at Renn beside him and walked towards the cabin without hesitation.
After thanking Lin Feng again, Carol was pulled back by the approaching Dragon Ern.
Soon, things returned to normal on the ship. After casually eating a little something in the evening, Dragon Ern swayed and groped along the edge of the ship, walking step by step to the bow and coming to Lin Feng's side.
"You've obtained the ultimate power?"
"Um."
A sea breeze swept across the calm sea, the only sound the waves crashing against the ship. But in Lin Feng's eyes, there were nine blood-red demonic stars reflected on the surface of the sea.
"Amazing..." After exclaiming in amazement, Dragon's Earn quietly asked, "You... can you use the Transformation skill now?"
"That's fine."
Lin Feng nodded: "But... you'll lose your humanity."
Humanity? Dragon's Earn suddenly remembered something and asked doubtfully, "You really have no faith?"
“No.” Lin Feng raised an eyebrow and glanced at Dragon Ern.
Dragon King Ern sat down to one side, leaning against the mast, and said, "Don't you want to become a god?"
"Why become a god?"
Lin Feng's question made Dragon Ern laugh, replying with a hearty laugh: "Why? You tell me why! Who in this world doesn't want to become a god! Power, authority, money—once you become a god, everything in the world can be yours!"
"Yes, and immortality!"
As soon as Dragon's Ern finished speaking, Lin Feng asked a new question: "And then?"
"And then? Of course, you can do whatever you want!"
“No one’s stopping you from doing whatever you want right now.” Lin Feng cut off Dragon’s laughter, but the other quickly retorted, “That’s different…”
Before Dragon's Earn could finish speaking, Lin Feng interrupted him: "And then what? So what comes after power and money?"
"after?"
Dragon King Ern almost burst out laughing again, but this time he held back and said seriously, "I want to go back to Upper Dales, open a Dragon Tavern, and drink to my heart's content every day!"
"Do you drink alcohol every day? What does that have to do with becoming a god?"
Lin Feng's question stunned Dragon Ern for a few seconds. If he hadn't known that the other party had obtained the ultimate power, he would have wanted to slap him.
Of course it's different. Nobody dares to mess with him, and he can do whatever he wants without fear of anything... but it doesn't seem like he needs to do that.
I'm getting old, and that drive is gone...
"Old man, I can't argue with you, but becoming a god is still a good thing."
Dragon's Earn stood up. He now understood why Lin Feng sat at the bow of the ship every day—he was obsessing over trivial matters like those scholars. Who in this world doesn't want to become a god? Who doesn't know that becoming a god is good? Given the chance, who would give up the possibility of becoming a god?
Lin Feng smiled slightly.
Becoming a god is certainly a good thing, as it grants immortality, power, and the ability to manifest oneself before others.
He also wanted to become a god. People naturally desire better and more powerful things and take precautions against the dangers inherent in human nature. But should this kind of god be the one?
In the eyes of the dragon Erne, there is no god; money, power, or status can ever replace his life.
"If only there were no gods in this world."
The sound slowly entered Dragon's Earn's ears, like a thunderclap in his mind, startling him so much that he hurriedly said, "What? What? Old man, I didn't hear anything. Sigh, I'm tired, I'm going back to sleep."
Blasphemer? You want to die?!
Just then, Renn, who was still practicing with his shield, heard Lin Feng's words and countless thoughts began to run through his mind.
There is no God?
How could this world not have a God?
What would the world be like without God?
Before long, Lin Feng sat back down quietly, calmly looking at the sea, and slowing down his thoughts and consciousness.
...
Several days later, the ship sailed out of the current, furled its sails, and dropped its anchor.
“We’ll see the coast an hour from here, and the Monument Tower is to our right. Once night falls, we can…” A pirate recounted all the things we needed to be aware of.
“Kid, why don’t you just take Carol with you? We’ll meet in Crimson Mist Harbor tomorrow.” Dragon’s Earn walked out of the cabin and slapped Raine as he passed by: “Take him with you too.”
Lin Feng nodded; he had been planning to do just that.
“By the way, he only needs to be on the first 10 floors. You take her to the 30th floor. As for you, how many floors you can go up is up to you.” Dragon’s Earn picked up a bottle of wine from the deck next to him. Just as he was about to open it, his expression suddenly changed. He pulled Carol aside and said, “Stay away from that kid. As for what he said, just chat with him for a bit, don’t take it seriously.”
It's one thing to not believe in God, but would it be great if there were no God in this world?
Are you crazy?
“Hmm…” Carol nodded obediently, but there was no worry in her eyes like that of the Dragon King Ern. Born into nobility, they had long questioned the existence of gods.
They were all as audacious as Lin Feng to utter such insane words as "there is no God."
Before long, Carol and Ryan were ready, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Feng grabbed them and jumped off the ship, disappearing into the sea.
The feeling of weightlessness suddenly disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, Carol was sitting in a very luxurious chair.
Before she could fully explore the space, which resembled a carriage, a fleeting glimpse of the scenery outside immediately captivated her.
This speed... is dozens of times faster than a celestial horse!
And it's getting faster!
Oh my god!
Their speed was only possible because they were traveling with the wind and current, while the other party could do it without any effort... What exactly is she sitting on now?
Before the confusion could last long, Carol felt a sudden weight lift from her bottom and fell from mid-air, landing hard on her backside.
"arrive."
arrive?
Ryan quickly stood up, already used to this sudden change.
Carroll, who stood up a few minutes later, turned around in confusion and saw a tall tower standing on a remote reef on the coast.
It's the Tower of Remembrance!
Just like the one she saw in her childhood paintings, towering into the clouds, carved with incomprehensible patterns, connecting heaven and earth.
So fast?
Is the one-hour journey over just like that?
At this moment, Lin Feng walked to the foot of the Tower of Remembrance, and with a gust of sea breeze, he forcefully pushed open the broken stone door at the foot of the tower, opening the building that had been sealed for several years.
"Creak..."
Compared to modern architecture, this tower is equivalent to a hundred-story building. Without special means, the technology of this world would not be able to complete such a structure.
