Chapter 568: The Dilemma of the Ceiling
The other side.
Beep beep beep—!
An electric scooter sped across the tumultuous sea, crashing through waves, dense seawater splashing onto the bright yellow helmet, dripping down and flowing into the sea along the edges of the windbreaker.
With a crack, the scooter’s headlights went dark.
The headlights had short-circuited.
Lu Wuwei frowned, an eerie orange light emanating from his palm. He slapped the dashboard of the scooter, and the headlights flickered back to life, piercing through the dim sea surface and illuminating a bright path ahead.
Under the sky above him, a woman dressed in a pure white gauze gown stood on a cloud, frowning as she watched the slow-moving delivery rider weaving through the waves.
One of the nine Egyptian gods, the sky god, Nut.
“What on earth…” she murmured to herself.
After hesitating for a moment, she spread her arms wide, the wind lifting her gauze gown. She whispered something softly, and a mysterious aura of law radiated from her.
On the sea surface,
Lu Wuwei seemed to sense something and twisted the throttle all the way!
The electric scooter began to move slowly but steadily at a speed of 40 km/h, continuing to navigate the turbulent sea.
At that moment, a flash of white light darted across the vast expanse of sea beneath him!
Whoosh—!!
In that instant, Lu Wuwei felt as if the entire world had flipped upside down. When he regained his senses, the sea beneath him had vanished, replaced by a vast blue sky…
Below him was a bottomless abyss, dark clouds swirling.
His world had been turned upside down.
The scooter spun in mid-air, yet it did not advance an inch. A strong sense of weightlessness enveloped his mind, and the next moment, he and the scooter plummeted from the great height!
The howling wind rushed past Lu Wuwei’s ears, nearly blowing off his helmet. He calmly scanned the high altitude beneath him, silently reaching into the small drawer beneath the scooter’s dashboard, seemingly searching for something…
A few seconds later,
He pulled out a small yellow duck wearing sunglasses and a big gold chain.
Like the small yellow ducks commonly found at street stalls, this one was light and small, topped with a coin-sized plastic propeller. However, unlike the others, this duck wore sunglasses and had a devilishly charming smile on its beak.
Lu Wuwei nonchalantly pressed the small yellow duck onto his helmet.
Then, he took out a second small yellow duck and pressed it onto the scooter’s handlebars.
In mid-air, the propeller atop the yellow duck spun rapidly, and Lu Wuwei, along with the scooter, surprisingly hovered in the air!
He twisted the scooter’s throttle, and it slowly moved toward the sky god standing on the clouds… Of course, in the air, it didn’t matter whether he twisted the throttle or not; the wheels were just spinning in place.
But he felt that twisting the throttle was more satisfying.
Watching this bizarre scene unfold, Nut stood frozen in place.
…
Dark clouds churned.
Drizzling rain fell from the clouds, drifting over the rolling waves.
Guan Zai, wearing a checkered shirt and a flat cap, looked up, gazing at the rain drifting through the air, lost in thought.
A drop of rain fell toward him.
Sizzle—!
Guan Zai instinctively turned around, and the drop of rain missed him, landing in the sea below, creating a small round hole in the surface…
This round hole resembled a nail hole hammered into a wooden table, fixed on the sea surface. No matter how the surrounding water churned, the hole remained, eternally anchored in place.
Guan Zai’s brow furrowed tightly.
Drip drip drip…
In the sky, the falling rain became denser, and the number of holes in the sea surface increased. This area of the sea had turned into a scarred landscape, with the rolling waves dotted with dense “bullet holes” left by the raindrops.
He kept dodging the raindrops, but a few still landed on the brim of his cap, leaving behind wisps of white smoke and several round holes.
He looked up at the sky, and at the end of the rain, a half-formed silhouette of flowing water flickered into view.
One of the nine Egyptian gods, the rain goddess, Tefnut.
The rain fell harder.
Slowly, the rain drifted everywhere in the sky, leaving Guan Zai with less and less space to move, and the number of holes on his body increased…
He took a deep breath, a faint glow emanating from his eyes.
His fingertips began to tap in the void,
And a series of green characters appeared in the emptiness before him!
The dense green characters flowed through the air like a tide, resembling a massive virtual screen, with dazzling lines of code reflecting in Guan Zai’s eyes, his pupils trembling at an astonishing speed.
Two seconds later, all the code before him vanished, replaced by a few lines of flickering characters.
“Filtering liquids with a single weight between 0.5 milligrams and 5 grams… Filtering complete.”
“Physical engine modification in progress…”
“Physical engine modification complete. A total of 34,172 target objects captured, gravity vector direction reversed.”
Whoosh—!
At the moment the last line of characters disappeared, all raindrops and splashes of seawater within a ten-kilometer radius around Guan Zai bizarrely froze in mid-air, then began to slowly move upward toward the sky!
In this area, all the liquids within Guan Zai’s selected target range had their gravity direction reversed, gradually accelerating upward.
Within a ten-kilometer radius, the rain was rolling back up!
The shadow hidden in the rain witnessed this scene, her eyes filled with disbelief, but the rain rolling back into the sky was beyond her control. With a flick of her fingertip, the rain completely froze in mid-air.
At that moment, a speeding carriage crashed into the suspended rain curtain, and a virtual Chinese courtyard rapidly spread from the carriage’s center, instantly absorbing all the rainwater into the “heartscape,” vanishing without a trace.
Guan Zai was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the carriage.
“How did this old man end up here… Where’s his opponent?” he muttered in confusion.
…
At this moment.
Inside the carriage.
Master Chen sat behind a tea table, holding a teacup in his palm, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead as he stared warily at the slender girl in a green dress before him.
“You seem quite nervous,” the slender girl in green said with a gentle smile. “Are you afraid of me? Let me guess… You didn’t expect me to breach your absolute defense so easily, did you?”
One of the nine Egyptian gods, the goddess of life, Isis.
