Chapter 196

~14 min read 2,760 words

When the Wind of Rest was about to blow, Ang rode Lightning and flew up to the Holy Heavenly Kingdom.

Lightning had a stick in its mouth, with a Void Bubble Stone on top, and it even had a lid. As long as Lightning bit the end of the stick, the lid would flip up, and a void bubble would be activated.

It didn't have a chance to play with this before, and couldn't help but bite curiously, then bite again, watching the void bubble flash on its body, and then was slapped on the head by Ang.

Lightning closed its mouth obediently. It never dared to say dirty words to Ang. Firstly, Ang couldn't understand, and secondly, if he understood, he would definitely beat it. It still knew clearly who could be bullied.

The reason for choosing to ride Lightning instead of Bai Hou is because Lightning's flying method can hover in the air for a long time.

Arriving outside the barrier of the Holy Heavenly Kingdom in advance, the Wind of Rest hadn't blown yet. Lightning stepped on the empty space boredly, looking around, looking extremely bored.

Ang's Dimensional Hand reached into the Palace of Breath, focusing on fiddling. Silver Coin brought him a lot of seeds this time, too many, more than a thousand kinds. What he needs to worry about now is which ones to plant first.

The Wind of Rest blew, and Lightning hurriedly bit open the lid, exposing the Void Bubble Stone to the windward side. The activated void bubble wrapped both it and Ang.

One person and one horse together were less than three meters. Standing still, the void bubble could cover them. This is why he chose to ride it.

The Holy Heavenly Kingdom is the largest wind-receiving surface. The Wind of Rest blew on its barrier, triggering many strange changes. Some wind flowed past along the surface of the barrier like water.

Some formed vortices, spinning in a certain area, and some flowed half a circle around the barrier and collided with the wind flowing from the opposite side.

The barrier is not a substance, but an energy structure. It has various adhesion, delay, and stacking effects on the Wind of Rest. No one knows which effect took effect, causing the Wind of Rest to hit a hole in it.

Standing still for more than twenty minutes, the barrier still didn't break. Negris, projected onto Ang, sighed: "The time this barrier breaks is too inaccurate. Without Void Bubble Stones, we can't come up at all. If it doesn't break after carrying it for more than ten minutes, we're done for."

Lightning let out a long breath and hurriedly responded: "Exactly, it should give you a definite answer, saying it will break in ten minutes, it should break in ten minutes, not a second more."

Staying alone with Ang is too stressful, and very awkward. Don't know whether to find a topic to chat about, or be quiet and not disturb. This feeling of staying with a leader is too uncomfortable.

Negris's words were like a life-saving straw. It hurriedly chimed in, echoing Negris's words.

It thought it was echoing, but Negris heard it and wanted to jump: "Are you mocking me?"

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense," Lightning hurriedly denied.

Noisy and noisy, Ang suddenly jumped down onto the barrier, obviously discovering a weak point. He smashed wildly, broke the barrier, and everyone entered the Holy Heavenly Kingdom again.

Ang landed on the Pantheon Plaza for the first time and let everyone out. Because of the experience last time, he was not afraid of encountering danger, so more people came, and almost everyone who was free came.

It seems no one was busy...

The plaza floor tiles were pried up last time and planted with Elf Beans. Seven or eight days passed, and the Elf Beans all sprouted, growing to the appearance of seven months.

Because of Ang, Negris is now half a planting expert. One look and it said: "The growth is good, really don't need watering and fertilizing, this soil is powerful."

Ang didn't say a word, found a corner, piled up a small mound of soil, and planted the second Plant Man seed.

There were only two Plant Man seeds. The first one had already been planted into the Palace of Breath. There was already a pile of God Kingdom soil there. Sowing in two places could compare whether the environment was important or the soil was more important.

Compared with planting, Negris was more anxious about another thing. It took out the control key: "Is it done? If it's done, let's go see the control key to see if it can drive the Heavenly Kingdom."

Lisa and Anna's eyes were shining, full of excitement.

The Holy Heavenly Kingdom, to be controlled by the God of the Undead, just thinking about it is exciting.

Arriving at the temple, this is almost the core area of the entire Holy Heavenly Kingdom. The top is the projection array of the Heavenly Kingdom Stairs, storing many angel Holy Skeletons, and it is also the control hub.

However, the core area is still further down. Before there was a control key, they didn't find this area at all. Now with the control key, as soon as Ang walked into the temple, the floor in front sank quietly, revealing a staircase.

Walking down the stairs, it was also two heavy-armored zombies leading the way, arriving at a circular space unscathed.

In the entire circular space, there were more than a dozen crystal steles, each two meters high. With Ang's entry, these crystal steles all lit up.

Along with it, the ground also lit up.

The entire floor was actually crystal, or paved with some kind of crystal stone. When it lit up, Ang saw a familiar thing.

"Coordinate system map? Wow, there are more than the coordinates of the World Transit Station. Many are not available in the transit station. Deserving to be the Bright Church, the foundation is really rich," Lisa said in surprise.

"More than rich, it's not like the World Transit Station, it can move. Look, those green dots on it are clearly where it can descend and carry out plane projection. This is simply a fortress for attacking different planes," Negris sighed.

Everyone gasped. Is the Holy Heavenly Kingdom actually a plane war fortress?

"There are not many green dots, and more red dots. Do red dots mean they cannot be projected? Why?" Lisa asked curiously.

"Either the distance is too far, or there is a plane barrier, such as the Main Material Plane. Its plane barrier is much thicker than this Heavenly Kingdom, and the Holy Heavenly Kingdom cannot get close," Negris said.

Lisa asked: "You mean, it cannot be inverted to the top of our house like this? Does the Abyss of Rest have no barrier?"

"Of course not, can't even get close, let alone project. The Heavenly Kingdom Stairs cannot project too far, so in the history of the Main Material Plane, you cannot find records of Heavenly Kingdom stages and Heavenly Kingdom descent. As for whether the Abyss of Rest has a barrier? If it has a barrier, it's not called an abyss."

The biggest difference between an abyss and a plane actually lies in the barrier. Those with barriers are called planes, and those without barriers are called abysses. No plane barrier means this is an undefended world. People can come and go as they please, as long as there is a beacon or coordinate.

As for why the Undead Empire built a transit station in such an undefended abyss? It's because it has no barrier.

With a barrier, the energy consumed by teleportation will double or even more than ten times.

Both planes have barriers, then the energy consumption will double again, especially for thick barriers, and also need to find the weak points of their barriers, otherwise the teleportation array needs several times the energy to penetrate the barrier.

The Undead Empire specially built a transit station in such a place without plane barriers, allowing personnel from major planes to come and go freely, trade freely, and take what they need.

The Undead Empire has the confidence, because it is the biggest barrier in this plane.

The Undead Empire has the confidence to protect the transit station, but Ang doesn't, so until now, the World Transit Station dare not open, equivalent to guarding a golden trade line and begging for food.

Of course, even if there is confidence to open, Ang will not open it. The World Transit Station cannot plant crops.

"Can it be activated?" Lisa asked again.

Negris took the control key from Ang's hand. After checking, it said with a bitter face: "Don't dare to move, I'm afraid it will fall."

First of all, it doesn't know how to control the Holy Heavenly Kingdom. It turned the control key for a long time, but didn't see any manual or beginner's guide.

Secondly, the Holy Heavenly Kingdom was stuck when it descended. Who knows if it can still move? If it messes up, it falls, what to do if it smashes the Abyss of Rest?

"Ah, can't do anything?" As a former saint, apostate, and old lich, Lisa was a bit unwilling. The Holy Heavenly Kingdom, they now occupy the Holy Heavenly Kingdom, the old nest of the Bright Gods, and can't do anything?

"It's not that we can't do anything, checking the coordinate system map is still possible." Negris just finished speaking, and saw Ang squatting on the floor, his fingers drawing circles on the ground, and the entire coordinate system map moved back and forth with his fingers.

Every point representing a plane and abyss, he looked at it carefully.

Negris leaned over, looking at some introductions about the plane displayed on the coordinates, and then looked at Ang, asking in confusion: "Are you looking for something?"

"Looking for something to plant crops," Ang said.

"Pfft... I knew it..." Negris vomited blood. Besides this, Ang wouldn't be interested in anything else.

But he is destined to be futile. Those suitable for plant growth are all material planes, and they must have strong plane barriers.

In the next few days, Negris dragged Ang here to do research, trying to figure out the entire control method, but in the absence of data and instructions, the results were few. The few results were activating one of the crystal steles.

The crystal stele first appeared some ripples composed of light lines, fluctuated for a while, and suddenly, a crying voice came from the crystal stele: "Supreme light, please grant me the power to heal everything, save my child."

The crystal stele kept flickering and flickering, and finally some blurred images appeared on the stele. A two or three-month-old baby was crying loudly. The baby's thigh didn't know what bit it off, the wound was uneven, and it was bloody.

A pair of rough hands tightly pinched the wound of the baby, crying and praying, praying for the appearance of a miracle.

The image displayed on the stele was seen from the perspective of the owner of these hands, blurred, because his eyes were already filled with tears.

Buge is a villager in a very ordinary small village. He usually believes in the Bright Gods devoutly, prays devoutly, donates monthly, redeems the original sin on his body, and also prays for a peace for his wife, children, and descendants.

Although he had never seen a miracle in his life, under the influence of his childhood, he firmly believed that the Bright Gods would protect his family, as long as he was devout enough, the light would protect his whole family.

Three months ago, his wife gave birth to a daughter, but died of massive hemorrhage due to dystocia, leaving only him and his daughter to depend on each other.

The devout Buge did not blame the Bright Gods for why they didn't protect his wife. He only blamed himself for why he wasn't more devout. For his daughter's physical health and happy growth, Buge served the gods more devoutly.

How to be more devout?

The priest told him that everyone is born with original sin, because they have sin, so they were demoted from the Heavenly Kingdom, and need to redeem the sin on their bodies to return to the Heavenly Kingdom.

How to redeem?

The priest said: I don't know, everyone's sin is different, maybe it's greed, maybe it's laziness, only God knows? The only thing the priest knows is that donation is the best way to redeem the sin on one's body.

Every silver coin you donate may help three fellow believers. This is redemption.

Buge donated most of his money in a muddle, and wanted to work hard to donate more. He carried his daughter who was only three months old, came to the back mountain, and prepared to dig some mushrooms.

Few people eat mushrooms in this era. This kind of thing requires a lot of oil and spices, otherwise it is very difficult to eat, and it has no nutrition.

So Buge's main goal is holy mushrooms. This is a kind of wound medicine that has a strong hemostatic and healing effect after being dried and ground into powder. Whether it is the church or adventurers, they like it very much.

Buge certainly wouldn't sell it to adventurers. He wanted to offer it to the church to redeem the sin on himself and his daughter, completely unaware that his daughter was actually a circle smaller than ordinary babies, because he donated most of his money and couldn't buy enough milk.

Carrying a baby up the mountain is even more dangerous, not to mention the snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the mountain, just the cold and damp air is enough to cause harm to the baby.

However, Buge firmly believed that this was good for his daughter. After doing this, the Bright Gods would protect himself and his daughter.

Then, he encountered a wolf. When climbing up the tree, the wolf pounced over and bit off one of his daughter's legs.

Buge hugged his daughter and cried in despair. At this time, he had no other way. There were wolves under the tree, and his daughter was seriously injured. If not treated in time, just the blood loss could take the life of this three-month-old baby.

Buge erupted with unprecedented belief, crying and shouting, praying for the salvation of the gods.

Ang tentatively cast his will toward the crystal stele, toward the baby image on the stele, toward the wound on the broken leg.

This kind of wound, Ang could stop the bleeding with the Purification Technique, so he tried to cast the Purification Technique.

Buge at the other end of the stele suddenly felt some power surge into his body. His hand was uncontrollably raised, and holy light erupted from his palm, wiping toward his daughter's wound.

The bloody wound healed rapidly visible to the naked eye.

"Miracle... miracle, light protection, light protection..."

Following Buge's muttering, things poured into the crystal stele continuously.

"God, save my daughter, save my daughter, I will definitely donate everything in the house to redeem my sin," Buge said excitedly and devoutly.

Ang hesitantly reached his hands toward the crystal stele, and his hands actually reached in.

He curiously hugged the baby image in the stele and carefully hugged it out. After his hands retracted from the stele, there was actually a small baby in his hands.

"Ku Ba Da, this also works?" Negris's eyes were about to fall out. Do these crystal steles actually penetrate space?

Buge in the image naturally had no baby in his arms. He was so excited that he knelt down and kowtowed on the tree: "Light protection, gods shine forever, light protection, gods shine forever..."

While kowtowing, a wolf howl woke him up. Looking down, he saw several wolves surrounding the tree, one of which was particularly large, like a small calf, staring at him fiercely.

Buge suddenly discovered that he didn't seem to be out of danger, and prayed loudly in anxiety: "Gods protect, grant me power, eliminate the evil wolves."

The leading wolf ran and leaped, pouncing Buge from the tree, and bit his throat off. This time, there was no light to protect him.

Negris floated over, the little angel and little zombie ran over, looking curiously at the fragile little baby in Ang's hands, reaching out to poke but not daring to.
