After who knows how many years, the void gap finally welcomed the first living alien life.
Zhao Lihe, dressed in white and dressed like an ancient man, got out of the black SUV. With the help of the SUV's lights, he looked at the tall mountain shrouded in darkness in front of him with a shocked face.
In the center of the mountain, illuminated by the lights, a stone staircase appeared.
The stone steps lead straight up, all the way to the top of the mountain, and disappear into the darkness beyond the lights.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhao Lihe was shocked and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Brother, this...where is this?"
"Bang!"
Lin Zhongtian closed the car door casually, walked to Zhao Lihe, and looked up at the mountain in front of them with him.
"Who knows? I only know that this is a transit point for countless worlds. Do you see the starry sky above your head?"
Zhao Lihe followed Lin Zhongtian's gaze and raised his head, looking at the dots of silver light on the black curtain above his head, and nodded with difficulty: "I see."
Lin Zhongtian smiled and stretched out his hand, pointing at them and whispered: "Each of those stars is a world!"
As he spoke, he turned around by holding Zhao Lihe's shoulder, pointed at the large silver ball of light behind the SUV, which was about three meters long and wide, and said softly: "Behind that silver ball of light is the world of Xiu Chun Dao where you are."
“…”
Zhao Lihe was shocked and speechless. It took him a long time to recover and regain his ability to speak. He said in a difficult tone: "So, brother, you are not a time traveler from the same world as me, but a time traveler from a different world?"
"Well... that's not a wrong understanding, but the world you're in is indeed the first world I've ever been to."
"..." Zhao Lihe turned around and looked at the mountain shrouded in darkness and said, "What is this place? Hasn't it become the main god space yet?"
"Of course not. Like I said just now, this is just a transit station between worlds!"
"Then why is the world I live in the same as the world in the movie 'Blade of the Assassin'?"
Lin Zhongtian frowned: "This is also one of the biggest doubts in my mind."
Zhao Lihe took a deep breath, then jumped twice and frowned, "Since it is a gap between worlds, why is there air with the same composition as the earth? And the gravity I feel seems to be the same as the earth's."
As he spoke, Zhao Lihe raised his leg again, stepped on the solid ground under his feet, and said worriedly: "And this land, this mountain, this stone staircase, everywhere is full of traces of human beings..."
"You are calm and alert!"
Lin Zhongtian laughed and shook his head, saying, "Don't worry about it. The air is sucked in from your world. Gravity is because the mountain under our feet is revolving around a certain point. As for this seemingly man-made stone staircase, come with me and take a look, and you will know."
Lin Zhongtian patted Zhao Lihe on the shoulder, turned on the high-power flashlight he was carrying, and was the first to step onto the stone steps.
Although Zhao Lihe was full of doubts, he still followed Lin Zhongtian out of trust in him.
Not long after, the two reached the end of the stone steps and looked up to see the tall palace.
The entire palace is made of rocks with a single color tone, but it is full of ancient and wild atmosphere.
Entering the hall, eight white stone pillars stood on both sides. The light in Lin Zhongtian's hand passed through the stone pillars, and one could vaguely see many exquisite dragon patterns carved on them.
As Zhao Lihe looked around the palace, he whispered, "This palace seems a bit monotonous."
Lin Zhongtian replied casually: "It's normal to use local materials, so it's a bit monotonous."
Using local materials...
Zhao Lihe was slightly startled: "Could it be that Big Brother knows how this palace was built?"
Lin Zhongtian waved his hand and continued walking forward, saying: "I was just guessing - Nuo, do you see the altar in front? Those things on it are the things I moved from your world and the other world."
“…”
Zhao Lihe stopped and looked towards the huge altar in front of him following the light.
The altar was about fifteen meters long and five meters wide. It was the largest altar Zhao Lihe had ever seen in his life. Coupled with this huge empty palace, Zhao Lihe felt very insignificant and had the illusion that he had come to the residence of an ancient giant.
There are many objects placed on the altar. On the far left are a large number of various gold, silver, jade and other valuable items. In the middle are neatly arranged guns and ammunition, which are rich in variety and cover a wide range of time, from the First World War to the 21st century.
As for the far right, it is an ordinary iron cage with a sleeping wild pheasant inside.
When Zhao Lihe saw the pile of neatly arranged guns, his attention was immediately attracted. He hurried forward, picked up a Mosin-Nagant M1891 rifle under the light, and lovingly stroked the gun body that bore traces of time.
"Did you get these from another world, brother?"
"That's right."
"So that world is in the modern era - is it also a movie world?"
"Well, have you heard of John Wick?"
"Ah?!" Zhao Lihe couldn't help but turn his head and asked in surprise, "Speedy pursuit?"
Lin Zhongtian smiled and nodded, then he picked up the iron cage on the far right, glanced at Zhao Lihe and said, "Okay, forget about it for now. Don't you want to know why there are so many traces of human intervention here? Then follow me first."
“…”
Zhao Lihe glanced at Lin Zhongtian on his right, then looked at the Mosin Ganna in his hand. After hesitating for a moment, he reluctantly put it back to its original position and turned around to follow Lin Zhongtian.
Soon, the two of them walked out of the back door of the palace.
What caught my eye was a U-shaped cliff with no grass growing on the edge of the cliff and only a few large rocks scattered around.
Zhao Lihe followed Lin Zhongtian to the edge of the cliff and looked down along the light. Below the cliff was a rolling sea of gray fog and clouds, like thick dark clouds surging in the sea, brewing unknown dangers that were daunting.
Just when Zhao Lihe had not yet recovered from this shocking scene, Lin Zhongtian suddenly threw the iron cage off the cliff.
The pheasant that was sleeping soundly in the cage woke up in mid-air, flapping its wings wildly and making fear-filled cries.
But no matter how it struggles, it cannot escape the fate of falling into the gray fog sea along with the iron cage.
The next second, the rolling gray mist completely engulfed the iron cage and the pheasant.
Zhao Lihe widened his eyes and couldn't help but take a few steps back with fear on his face.
He clearly saw that at the moment the pheasant came into contact with the gray fog, the gray fog rushed madly into the pheasant's body like a shark that smelled blood. In just a moment, it completely dissolved its entire flesh and blood body.
“What…what is this?”
Zhao Lihe stood on the edge of the cliff, still frightened, and couldn't help but ask a question.
Lin Zhongtian glanced at him and said, "This is the gray fog energy I mentioned. It's also in the jade pendant I gave you."
Zhao Lihe was startled when he heard this, and he touched the jade pendant he was wearing, muttering, "But brother, didn't you say that this kind of energy is life energy that helps life evolve?"
"That's right, but too much tonic is poisonous. I don't need to explain the dosage to you, right?"
Lin Zhongtian turned his head, looked at the gray fog and sea of clouds below the cliff, and explained softly: "According to my guess, there will be a gray fog riot here every once in a while, just like the ebb and flow of the tide. When the tide is high, everything will be submerged by the gray fog sea, and when the tide is low, this mountain will appear from the endless sea of fog."
“Those things with traces of human activity might have been left behind by people who had entered here during low tide.”
"As for those people, there are probably only two endings: either they die of old age with the secrets, or they are swallowed up by the gray fog sea."
Lin Zhongtian was talking nonsense in a serious manner, but Zhao Lihe listened thoughtfully and nodded in agreement.
After Lin Zhongtian finished speaking, Zhao Lihe sighed and said, "Brother is right. After all, no one knows how long this cycle is. We cannot enter during high tide, and forcing our way in will only lead to our death."
"In this case, once a high tide event occurs, the only option is to abandon this place."
At this point, Zhao Lihe paused, smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, you brought me here before telling me this news. Aren't you afraid of a sudden gray fog and tidal wave?"
