The other three girls were all watching him, waiting for his final decision. Even though she had received the Sea God's inheritance, Xianxian still appeared very obedient.
"Shall we take a look?"
Luo Fan also realized that this trip was indeed too short. Apart from spending some time shopping, the subsequent battle was not challenging at all and ended hastily.
"Mmm~" they answered in unison.
Back on Xiao Feng's back, the guy ran even more happily.
Xianxian had entered a meditative state, while Xiaoling'er fiddled with the conch shell she had bought earlier, blowing on it every now and then, looking forward to the journey ahead.
As for Xiaoxue, she leaned against Luo Fan, holding him tightly, listening to him and Patty in his sea of consciousness discussing the Lost Continent.
After Patty's introduction, Luo Fan gained a general understanding of the Lost Continent.
The original Lost Continent was originally called the Divine Abyss Continent. It was only after the Divine Abyss was destroyed in the war between gods and demons that it was renamed to its current name.
The Abyss of Gods corresponds to the Abyss of Demons, and it houses a sacred gate. Whenever a deity dies in this realm, their soul can pass through the Abyss of Gods and be projected into the divine realm, achieving a kind of rebirth.
As they departed, those divine souls also took away some of the energy of the Divine Abyss. Over time, this caused the magical energy near the Divine Abyss to decrease and its effects to diminish, until it was finally completely destroyed in that great battle.
After that, as space became unstable, the Sacred Gate also became extremely unstable. This led many gods to flee this realm, and it was at that time that they simultaneously sealed off the Abyss of Demons.
As things stand, the magical essence of the Lost Continent has been largely lost. Ordinary people, including some descendants of gods, find it extremely difficult to break through to the realm of gods, and even Grand Magisters are rare among humans.
Strangely, Patty had never seen any Holy Mages from the Divine Demon Continent on that side before. Moreover, the history of that continent had become blurred and unclear since some point, as if someone had deliberately concealed the truth.
Regarding the legends that followed the Lost Continent, there are only records about the Tomb of the Gods, which is said to be a gift left to the world by the gods after they left.
If it weren't for racial inheritance, Patty would never have been able to learn so much truth based solely on records passed down from humankind.
"By the way, Master, when I left the God and Demon Continent with you before, I seemed to sense a strange formation."
"Um?"
"I have a feeling that if my real body passes through, it should trigger some kind of sensation."
"Could it be related to the mark of that soul-devouring beast?"
"It's possible, I'm not entirely sure. But I have a feeling that guy probably doesn't want me to go back to the Lost Continent."
Luo Fan thought for a while but couldn't come up with a solution; he still didn't have enough information.
Xiao Feng moved very quickly. In about a day, a large group of islands appeared before Luo Fan's eyes, and it seemed that some kind of large-scale formation was slowly operating.
Crossing that island, we encountered no obstacles and were greeted by a vast expanse of land, where lush tropical plants swayed in the wind, looking full of vitality.
However, the magic element content here is really low! Within a radius of a hundred miles, Luo Fan did not find a single magical beast wandering around outside, not even the lowest-level slime.
If he had ended up in a place like this at the start of the game, Luo Fan didn't know how he would have survived. As for running into the dungeon, that would be too dangerous.
The three girls clearly didn't like this continent much either. Without the support of magical elements, their strength would be greatly reduced, and they felt a bit insecure.
"Patty, you can become a god even on this continent, that's amazing!"
"That's because you haven't been to the dungeons or ruins yet. Most of the magic energy that disappeared from this continent has been concentrated there."
Luo Fan continued his journey, encountering many towns along the way. Even without the support of magic energy, he still saw numerous magical artifacts, mostly made from weakened magic cores and crystals.
The alchemy level on this continent is indeed a level higher than that on the continent of gods and demons.
Upon seeing the giant bird appear, alarms were sounded in many places, but Luo Fan did not choose to attack and instead flew over directly.
He could also faintly hear voices. Knowing that large magical beasts had been flying around the area from time to time recently, these towns had all been on high alert.
I need the help of the strategist, Cat Head, to understand the language here.
"Little Bell, do you like this continent?" Luo Fan couldn't help but ask, looking at the little girl who was full of curiosity and looking around.
"Hmm, it's more peaceful here than the God and Demon Continent. There's no restless demonic energy outside, and those people all seem very united."
"Oh, let's go to the dungeon later and see if we can make any new discoveries!" Luo Fan pondered, and it seemed that this method of separating magic elements was indeed a pretty good choice.
Soon, Xiao Feng stopped in front of a ruin, and Luo Fan sensed the aura of a magical beast within. The closer they got to the lower levels, the denser the magical energy became, and the stronger the magical beast was.
There were many adventurers inside, unaware that Luo Fan was sensing the changes within. Their team was seriously fighting a fire wolf, and their teamwork was quite impressive.
"The dungeons here are very similar to these ruins; they're both places where monsters gather. However, ruins are more dangerous, but you might find treasure. Dungeons, on the other hand, have even more monsters, and their corpses are excellent materials."
Patty continued to explain, slowly instilling the facts about this place in Lofan.
At the same time, Luo Fan's divine sense extended and reached the lowest level of the ruins. He found only a level 70 Skeleton King, slumbering in a corner, holding an ordinary magic sword.
Although the magic element content here is much higher than outside, it's only at the level of a typical underground city in the God and Demon Continent. Luo Fan quickly lost interest and led the group to continue heading towards the Ruins of the Gods.
I heard that the location is the site of the former Divine Abyss. Luo Fan felt that that bastard was very likely hiding in some area nearby.
With his current strength and the laws of immortality, he was probably no match for him, so he became extremely cautious on this trip.
Before long, after flying over countless lands and forests, a stench of decay wafted through the air, and a vast expanse of mist shrouded the area ahead. At the same time, Xiao Feng's voice also drifted over.
"Your Majesty, this should be the place. Shall we continue deeper?"
"Wait a minute!"
"Brother Fan, I feel so sad here!" Little Bell's voice was somewhat melancholy, and there was no happy expression on Xiao Xue and Xian Xian's faces either.
Luo Fan's attention had already begun to observe this area. He sensed a kind of sealing power that seemed to be suppressing the spread of the mist.
Inside the area, he could vaguely see caves resembling ruins, and it seemed that some kind of force was attracting his and Xiaofeng's attention.
"Xiao Feng, can you still sense your friend?"
"I can't sense it anymore." Xiao Feng hovered in mid-air, its divine sense also constrained by some force, and it could see less than Luo Fan.
"So you still want to go in?"
"I sense that there is some kind of power attracting me. If I can obtain that power, I might be able to break through to the realm of a god."
Luo Fan seemed to be deep in thought.
"Patty, have you ever encountered this situation before?"
"No. I stumbled into some ruins by accident and obtained a lot of spiritual materials there. I didn't have this strange power."
“I have a feeling that something is wrong here. Xiao Feng’s companion is very likely dead.”
"That's what I think too."
This world's hidden realm is returning to its rightful place, the Heavenly Gate is about to open, and even the ancient divine tombs are stirring. This sudden leak of energy can't possibly be anything good, otherwise it wouldn't have remained dormant for so long.
That bastard stopped Patty from coming back. Could it be that the key to getting in is possessing the laws of the gods?
