"It may not be Mordenkainen's private chamber. Many high-level spells involving force fields will cause the teleportation function to fail. Perhaps the anomaly here is caused by something, such as... the Eternal Furnace."

Considering that he and others were brought here by the Platinum Key, and Ruiyi Drael believed that the storm on Lonely Mountain led to the location of the Eternal Furnace, Carl felt that his current experience was caused by the Eternal Furnace.

And since the Eternal Furnace was not discovered by the people of Ruiyi Dra until after the Lonely Mountain Incident, it proves that it itself or within a certain range may have properties that cannot be divined or predicted.

This meant that Carl could not use the banishment spell to teleport himself and others back to the main plane as he had done before in the dungeon demiplane, and the people in the main plane could not use any spell to observe their safety.

"So what should we do now? If we can't teleport, we can't return to the main plane. Are we going to be trapped here forever?"

Looking at the fairly beautiful scenery outside, Mitris seemed a little anxious.

What if her afterlife bar was taken away by someone? !

Seeing her like this, Nia patted her shoulder and explained softly:

“No matter how powerful a device is, it will have an effective range. As long as we can leave a certain range, we should be able to try to teleport back to the main plane.

In recent years, there have been no problems for mages traveling back and forth to the Air Plane. This at least shows that the situation we are currently experiencing is just a special phenomenon of the Air Plane, and is not widespread. "

Having said that, the teleportation spells mastered by Nia and Iris are limited in distance and can only be used to teleport within the plane in which they are located.

Most of the teleportation spells belong to the School of Conjuration, and Nia only has some knowledge of the School of Transmutation but has never learned it.

Although every wizard can theoretically learn spells from all schools, the reason why schools exist is not only the increase in learning efficiency brought by the specialization characteristics of the school, but also corresponding disadvantages.

That is, they will have difficulty concentrating when casting spells from non-specialized schools, which often leads to spell failure and unpredictable consequences.

If a low-level spell fails, it fails, but the higher the level of the spell, the greater the harm it may cause.

This is why Nia, a wizard genius, did not learn too many spells from other schools. Besides the time cost being disproportionate to the rewards, it is also easy for problems to arise when releasing the spells.

Of course, scrolls and wands are not included in this list. Anyone can use their effects as long as they understand the logic of the spell and meet the requirements of attunement.

"Well, it looks like we already have a preliminary goal! Let's first find the boundary of the Eternal Furnace's influence range!"

After listening to everyone's discussion with satisfaction, Carl nodded and sat back in the driver's seat.

Holding the steering wheel with both hands, the feeling of being one with the machine arises again.

"Huh~, I haven't driven a car in the Air Plane yet. How do the creatures here reproduce? Just floating in the air? Hiss~ I kind of want to try it!"

Complex thoughts flashed through his mind, and Carl stepped on the clutch and accelerator, shifted gears and rushed forward.

However, just as the truck drove a distance, the soil underneath suddenly shattered.

The wheels were spinning and the entire truck was floating in mid-air, with no way to go anywhere.

"Oh no! I forgot the special features of the Elemental Plane of Air! I heard that the gravity here is subjective. You will fall in the direction you think is down. We now have a truck as a reference and can stand in the truck compartment, but how does the truck determine which direction is down?"

Looking at the clods of soil floating around the truck, Carl felt that he and his group were like astronauts on a satellite that had lost power in outer space.

The carriage suddenly fell silent. Nia and Iris frowned and thought, but they had no clue for a moment.

Seeing the truck floating like that, Carl thought for a moment and decided to give it a try.

Putting on his power armor again, he activated some of the truck's weapons, allowing the hidden floater to reappear.

He then connected directly to the mech's operating system, while still retaining its truck form.

As the two connected, suddenly, the truck began to plummet towards the chassis.

Carl's thoughts had an effect on the gravity acting on the truck itself!

Strangely, the other people inside the truck did not experience weightlessness due to the sudden drop of the truck. They still sat quietly in their seats, unaffected.

“It’s been a wonderful experience.”

It was a rare moment that Ying, who had been silent for three days, actually spoke.

However, seeing that she seemed eager to fly, Carl quickly controlled the truck and closed the doors and windows.

After ensuring that Ying would not open the window for ventilation, Carl's thoughts were transformed into command programs for the mecha, causing it to change rapidly.

"Start perspective conversion, switch sensors, target, front of the car!"

As Carl's instructions took effect, his power armor helmet suddenly connected to the camera on the front of the truck. At the same time, Carl felt himself being lifted up, with his feet facing the front of the truck.

The falling truck gradually slowed down, but began to slowly accelerate in the direction of the front.

Carl used his own illusion of gravity to change direction and made the truck move in mid-air.

The two activated floating cannons were attached to the two sides of the truck, one on the left and one on the right. They continuously compressed the air and accumulated energy with the help of air elements, allowing the truck to use nitrogen jets to turn and drift when encountering obstacles.

Just like that, a rampaging mechanical truck appeared in the sky of this area, and it was speeding towards a certain direction with a momentum that showed it would not turn back until it hit the wall.

Some floating islands inhabited by griffins, hippogriffs or Pegasus are often startled by this flying car, and then chase it for a distance in frustration.

After an unknown amount of time, Carl disconnected from the truck, causing the car to lose its main power again.

"Phew, how long has it been? I feel a little dizzy."

"At least 25 hours have passed. Isn't there a difference between day and night in the Elemental Plane of Air?"

Without the obvious changes in light and darkness, everyone became somewhat numb to the passage of time.

He stepped forward and supported Carl with concern. Everyone cleared the space in the back row and prepared to make dinner here.

After instructing everyone to call him when dinner was ready, Carl lay down on the reclined chair and gradually fell asleep.

…

In the third dream, Carl gradually regained consciousness.

Looking at his body which had completely transformed into Optimus Prime, Carl shrugged and prepared to return to the second dream to study the teleportation array.

But at this moment, Carl noticed something.

"Hmm? When did the third level of dreams become so bright?"

Looking up, I found that a "sun" had appeared above the dream world without me noticing.

It radiated endless light and heat, and Carl even felt that the deformed flesh and blood tissues in the third level of the dream seemed to have become warm.

The warm feeling filled his whole body, making Carl a little addicted for a moment.

However, Carl did not notice that as the sun shone, some orange-gold lines similar to those on the adamantium key began to spread from his mecha body.

These lines are not noticeable, and no traces are left after each flow.

So when Carl came back to his senses, he didn't notice any of this.

After taking a look at the relatively "prosperous" third-level dream, Carl mobilized his psychic energy and floated up to the second-level dream.

"Huh? Why hasn't the sun disappeared yet?"

In the second dream that condensed all of Carl’s thoughts and fantasies, the sun with a strong presence still existed.

This made Carl interested in its existence.

But when Carl tried to go to the location of the sun, he found that no matter how he manipulated the dream itself, he could not get closer to the other party.

It's like trying to catch up with a figure in a dream, but never being able to do so.

Carl was chasing the sun like Kuafu. After an unknown amount of time, he felt someone approaching him in reality.

…

"Karl, it's time to eat!"

In the real world, Hope called out to Carl and gently pushed his body.

Suddenly, a streak of orange-gold light flowed across Carl's skin.

The flash of light was fleeting, and happened to appear in the gap between Carl's clothes. Although Hope noticed it with his peripheral vision, it was difficult to confirm it.

Rubbing his eyes, Hope rummaged through Carl's clothes, but could no longer find the flowing light.

Just when she wondered if she had seen it wrong, Karl opened his eyes.

"Hmm? Have you eaten yet?"

Karl stood up from the recliner with a confused look on his face. Looking at Hope who seemed to be undressing him, he asked jokingly, "Although there is no night here, there are so many people. It will have a bad influence. Let's do it another day."

After that, he stretched and walked towards the dining table.

Hope behind him rolled his eyes at Carl, thinking that the streak of light he had just seen was an error in his eyes.

"Hiss~, why do I feel like I forgot something important? This shouldn't be the case..."

Walking to the dining table, Karl reached out to take the dishes and chopsticks handed to him by Nia, mumbling something.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Seeing him like this, Nia next to him asked curiously.

"Uh~, I seemed to have dreamt about something just now, but I forgot it as soon as I woke up."

Hearing this, Nia chuckled and said:

"Who doesn't dream like this? It's better to say that you actually dreamed with your physical condition. Are you under too much pressure recently?"

Just as Hope and Mitris also laughed softly, Iris on the other side of the table suddenly said, "Did you forget everything in your dream, or just one thing?"

After thinking for a moment, Carl replied, "I probably just forgot something. I remember that I seemed to be chasing something, but I couldn't catch up no matter how hard I tried. This is not normal. Since I awakened to my dream world, I am almost omnipotent in my dreams!"

Frowning, Iris narrowed her eyes slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "I actually have some abnormalities as well."
