Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 726 - 327: Lost Continent

From a scientific perspective, most of the stars visible in the night sky are fixed stars.

The nearest of these stars are several light years away from the ground, which translates to more than tens of trillions of kilometers.

Theoretically, the movement of the starlit sky observed by the naked eye comes from the rotation of the planet, rather than changes in the starlit sky itself; the starlit sky is not supposed to suddenly accelerate.

Unfortunately, within the Abyss, not everything can be explained through science.

For example, at this moment, the starry sky above the sea, each star is moving at a subtle but visible speed, and upon close observation, the trajectory of each star varies.

The change in their positions does not come from the rotation of the planet under the feet of Wu Chang and others, but rather seems as if they are being pulled by some power to where they are supposed to go.

The sea wind started blowing, a strong wind blew from the sea towards Briff Island, bringing with it a special salty stench, like the rotting smell of seafood, and the rank smell of untreated offal.

Wu Chang felt a slight stinging at the corner of his eye, and looked up in the direction where the pain came from, just in time to see a star disappear from the sky.

He pointed in the direction where the star disappeared and said to Erin and the Great Saint Mother:

"Did the star there just disappear?"

Before the two goddesses could see clearly, another star silently vanished in the sky Wu Chang was pointing to.

The three of them stared silently at the disappearing stars.

They could feel that the disappearance of the stars was not the ordinary twinkling of stars, but rather the annihilation of a ball of light.

No, it’s not annihilation, it should be said that a luminous sphere just happened to fall into some "hole" and temporarily vanished.

The disappearance of the two stars was just the beginning; it wasn’t long before every luminous body in the starry sky found a fitting deep hole and vanished into it.

The originally brilliant starry sky disappeared entirely within half an hour, leaving a sky that was dead silent.

After the stars vanished, the rising half-moon seemed to be pressed with a rewind button, sinking back into the sea along the path it rose from.

When the last sliver of moonlight was submerged by the sea surface, the world fell into complete darkness, devoid of any light.

In a daze, the sky and sea merged into one, chaotic and indistinct, as if the Plane had reverted to its most primitive status.

Wu Chang and the others had the same thought in their minds, is this the return of the stars?

Applauding sounds.

In the dead darkness, the sound of crisp clapping emerged.

Wu Chang couldn’t help but start applauding; he had explored many Abyssal Dungeons and seen many dungeon bosses at work.

But whether it was the upper God Leman, top player Joy, or native Plane beings from the Desolate Realm, none of their shows matched the spectacle before him in awe.

What’s the saying again?

A good show deserves applause!

Erin had already become accustomed to Wu Chang’s antics, but the Great Saint Mother hadn’t adapted yet, and she displeasedly said:

"Mortal, what madness suddenly took you? If your Will cannot resist, then hide in the cabin like Gelman."

Wu Chang said:

"Don’t you find this scene awe-inspiring?"

The Great Saint Mother sneered and said:

"A frog at the bottom of a well, that’s how the ignorant mortals are, getting shocked by slightly complete Divine Kingdoms."

"If you entered my Plane and witnessed my Divine Kingdom, wouldn’t you be so surprised that you’d fall to your knees, prostrate and beg to kiss my feet?"

Wu Chang countered:

"But this is the Desolate Realm, even if you prepared, can you set up a Divine Kingdom of this level here?"

The Desolate Realm is restricted by the Plane barrier; if setting up a Divine Kingdom here was that easy, the Earthly Divine Kingdom wouldn’t be one of the top mystical ceremonies in the Desolate Realm.

The Great Saint Mother said as a matter of course: "I can’t, I would only be stunned by the Master of the Deep Sea establishing a Divine Kingdom in the Desolate Realm, not like you, surprised by the Divine Kingdom itself."

Wu Chang curled his mouth and muttered: "Didn’t you look like you hadn’t seen the world when I elbow-struck you before."

The Great Saint Mother: "You!"

Before the Great Saint Mother could get upset, Wu Chang pointed to the distance and said:

"There’s a vibration from over there, seems like something’s coming out!"

The Great Saint Mother also felt the disturbance from afar, and without further quarrelling with Wu Chang, her body rose into the air, and Erin took Wu Chang’s hand and ascended with her.

The disappearance of moonlight and starlight didn’t affect Wu Chang and the others greatly; Wu Chang activated the Eye of Breaking Method, allowing the elements floating in the air to act as a light source, enabling him to see afar.

At the furthest edge of his vision on the sea surface, a massive bulge emerged.

Due to the great distance, they couldn’t visually determine the height of the bulge, but as it appeared, the sea surface noticeably decreased, indicating the enormity of the object in the sea.

The object’s ascent continued for over ten minutes. As the seas enveloping it flowed down, a colossal island emerged from the giant water mass.

To be accurate, it was a continent.

Merely the waves stirred up by the continent emerging reached heights of hundreds of meters. If not for the powerful bindings existing around the continent, calming the waves automatically, the waves alone would be enough to destroy many coastal countries.

Wu Chang looked towards the suddenly appearing continent far away, thinking he expected legends to carry some exaggeration, that the so-called continent would likely be just a large island.

But looking at the enormous shadow in the distance, the Master of the Deep Sea seemingly dragged an entire continent into the sea.

Is this the power of a fully formed Divine Kingdom?

The overwhelming force capable of reshaping Plane landscapes evidently exceeds the limit of power the Desolate Realm can possess.
