Chapter 1119 Heaven
“How long has it passed?”
Lin Qiye looked at the gradually darkening sky and turned to ask.
“Half an hour,” An Qingyu answered.
“Half an hour…” Lin Qiye’s brows slightly furrowed, “Did something unexpected happen to Brother Zhuai?”
Logically speaking, with Shen Qingzhu’s temperament, entering the pure land of the mind by eliminating distractions shouldn’t be difficult. If he hadn’t entered after half an hour, either something unexpected happened on the ship, or his mind was filled with too many distractions… Based on Lin Qiye’s understanding of Shen Qingzhu, he was more inclined to believe the former.
“There was no unexpected situation. He has too many distractions in his mind and cannot enter,” Michael’s eyes swept through the void as he spoke calmly.
The three of them froze in place.
Brother Zhuai has too many distractions?
How is that possible?
That’s the Brother Zhuai who had fought for his life and struggled through life and death!
If asked who in the entire team had the most mature mindset, everyone would immediately choose Shen Qingzhu. Lin Qiye really couldn’t imagine what kind of distractions could restrain this man who disregarded even life and death.
Lin Qiye and An Qingyu exchanged glances, both seeing confusion in each other’s eyes. Only Jiang Er floated silently in the air, as if lost in thought about something.
“We don’t have much time. If he can’t come in, I’ll let him wait on the ship. After obtaining the [Ark], you can reunite with him.”
Michael casually traced a string of characters in the air, which transformed into a golden light and disappeared into the void.
After doing this, He gently fluttered His wings, and a golden light surged out like a tide, enveloping the three behind Him, then flew toward the center of the cloud layer under the dusky sunlight.
…
Above the sea.
In the endless darkness and mist, the exploration ship rocked with the rolling waves. Inside the silent cabin, a figure still stubbornly sat cross-legged on the floor. The yellowish candlelight illuminated his face, with large beads of sweat dripping to the ground.
Shen Qingzhu frowned deeply, his face pale from excessive mental exertion. As the ship violently rocked, the candle on the table burned to its end and suddenly extinguished, plunging the entire cabin into darkness.
Heavy breathing echoed in the cabin. After a moment, Shen Qingzhu slowly opened his eyes, showing unprecedented fatigue on his face.
He took two deep breaths, glanced at the time in the center of the cabin, and clenched his fists tightly. Just as he was about to try entering heaven again, a golden light shot out from the void and hovered in front of Shen Qingzhu.
It was a string of characters Shen Qingzhu didn’t recognize, but the moment it appeared, a message was transmitted into his mind.
“No need to try again. Wait here.”
Shen Qingzhu froze in place.
Whoosh!
The golden characters burned up in the air, the golden light particles dissipated, and Shen Qingzhu’s pale, stunned face sank back into darkness.
The creaking sound of the ship’s hull echoed in the dark cabin. Shen Qingzhu stood still like a sculpture for a long time before finally giving a self-mocking smile, leaning against the door and weakly sitting on the ground.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and exhaled a cloud of smoke with apparent ease, though his left fist unconsciously clenched.
He looked up at the churning mist at the stern and fell silent.
Thud!
After an unknown amount of time,
The muffled sound of a fist hitting the deck echoed through the silent cabin.
…
Heaven.
A golden light flashed continuously in the sky, speeding toward the depths of heaven.
Michael’s speed was so fast that Lin Qiye and the others, enveloped in the golden light, could only see countless blurry shadows passing beneath them before arriving at a flat, barren open space.
Lin Qiye’s feet landed on the cloud, and he looked around to see white clouds encircling this open space, like a slowly rotating white tower, connecting from the cloud layer beneath their feet all the way to the dusky sky. This space enclosed by white clouds was roughly a hundred kilometers wide, like a city.
“Is this heaven?” An Qingyu asked in surprise.
“This is the Holy Lord’s residence. The area outside the clouds is the true heaven that belongs to the souls,” Michael explained calmly.
Lin Qiye was stunned.
Such a large area was just Yelan’s residence? How big was the entire heaven then?
Thinking about the shadows that had just flashed before his eyes, Lin Qiye’s eyebrows raised slightly. If it took that long to fly even at the speed of a Seraph… the scale of this heaven was probably far beyond their imagination.
“Heaven is not material, so physical measurements like size and area are meaningless here. From a spiritual perspective, heaven itself is infinite,” Michael flapped his wings, flying toward the center of the open space, scanning the surroundings as if searching for something.
How mystical.
Lin Qiye marveled inwardly again, and the image of the figure walking out of the sixth ward appeared in his mind, prompting him to ask:
“Yelan… where did the Holy Lord of your Western Holy Religion go?”
Michael’s form paused slightly, “He left.”
“Left?”
Hearing these words, Lin Qiye didn’t know how to interpret them.
Michael stopped, looked up at the sky, raised his hand, and gently pointed upward:
“He is there.”
The three followed His gesture and looked up, seeing nothing but the boundless sky. They were stunned at first, then as if realizing something, they exclaimed in unison:
“The moon?!”
Michael nodded slightly, “Long ago, when the Cthulhu gods first descended to Earth, some of Earth’s supreme gods discovered the anomaly and joined forces to try to eliminate them. But their power was too bizarre, so the gods could only change their approach, attempting to expel or seal them instead.
Finally, several supreme beings managed to lure the Cthulhu gods to the moon. After a great battle, the Holy Lord shattered the moon and, sacrificing himself and the essence of heaven, transformed into the new moon to forcibly seal the Cthulhu gods.
Since then, heaven has fallen, and I have been stationed on the moon in accordance with the Holy Lord’s command, preventing the Cthulhu gods from breaking the seal and endangering Earth.”
After hearing Michael’s words, Lin Qiye and the others were shocked to their core, their mouths uncontrollably hanging open…
“The seal on the moon was left by your Holy Lord?!” Lin Qiye’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
