BXBX NOVEL Chapter 170: Land of silence
Chapter 170: Land of silence
There are nine realms above the earth realm and two underneath. The lowest realm is called the underworld where devils live and under it, the hell burns red.
Above those two, the earth realm is a block realm where humans can\'t leave. Above it, there are four more realms where higher intelligent species live. Above it, the guardian realm is situated. This is where the land of universes comes to an end and the gate realm to the gods begins. But reaching the realm of gods needs verification.
Thus, all the beings that live between the realm of gods and the realm of guardians, they cultivate to reach the divine stage. This realm is also called the realm of cultivators. This is the realm that Viktor intends to reach but firstly, he needs to reach the 1st realm above the earth or mortal realm.
For that reason, he needed to cultivate his divine Qi in his deep sleep.
\'But it\'s not that easy. If they want to go with me, they need to get strong enough to fight with the gatekeeper of the upper realm.\'
Viktor looked at Adonis\'s record in his library and saw he was doing great. For the past 10 years, he hid every sign of the North family from the world. He continued his work as the housemaster and trained all the family members on his own. Not only that, Ifrit and Mors also did great.
Welis on the other hand went through many obstacles to gain a Qi core but her progress was slow. Astrsus didn\'t recover from his mental shock so he was put to bed for a full recovery. Adonis knew he wouldn\'t be tagging along so he prepared a place where he could live quietly as a human on a different planet. Leaving him on earth that would lose its mana soon would be a bad idea so he put him inside his dimension room and waited for his master to wake up.
In 10 years, the earth also changed. Its temperature and water level increased. The air had become more polluted and so many islands drowned in the sea. New diseases spread that took so many lives but still, without Viktor\'s order, Adonis stayed quiet even though he knew every solution to those problems.
Furthermore, they were about to leave the planet so there was no reason for him to think about these trivial matters. He had a long journey awaited.
Viktor closed his record and mumbled, \'You\'re doing great. But I guess it\'s time for me to wake up. It\'s been so long since I\'ve fallen asleep in a time acceleration trap. It might be only 10 years outside but on the inside, I\'ve lived for so long that I\'ve finished reading every single red and green book inside my library. Since the time is so fast inside, it\'s basically frozen outside.\'
Viktor floated closer to the premise of his library and took a seat on the beach. He then said, "Well, it\'s the end of the time acceleration trap. I guess I should open my eyes outside."
He slowly opened his eyes after a long time and saw a different room. He was on a bed that was surrounded by green plants. On his left, there was a huge window where the sunlight was entering from.
He then pulled the blanket and walked closer to the window to see the world outside. Suddenly, someone opened the door.
"Good morning, master."
\'A familiar voice…\' Viktor looked back and saw Adonis smiling with a glass of warm water. "Did you get a nice sleep, master?"
Viktor smiled and replied, "Adonis, it\'s great to see you." He then walked closer to him and touched his face. "You\'re warm, just like the day I touched your face after you were released from your curse. My hands didn\'t burn after that."
"Wait, you burned your hands while touching my face before I gained consciousness?" Adonis asked.
\'Ou, I forgot that he didn\'t know about this…\' Viktor then smiled awkwardly and replied, "Yes, you were burning hot that I burned my hands back then. But it healed so don\'t worry. You are not warm enough to burn my hands anymore."
Adonis put the glass on the table and knelt in front of him by holding both of his hands. He then put his forehead on Viktor\'s hand and said, "Don\'t harm yourself, master. You\'re so precious to me. Without you, I can\'t imagine a world or my existence. You\'re the light that guides me to the future and beyond."
Viktor pulled his hand and forcefully made him stand. "Come on, don\'t be so emotional. I\'m glad that you\'re always beside me, but I have a question. Where the hell are we-_-?"
"Oh, the third world war broke out a year ago. So I moved the house inside a cave on Mount Everest. It\'s protected with illusion and holy barrier magic so not even a god can notice."
\'So much has happened after I stopped reading his record because he was in his heat-_-. He literally made my room into a greenhouse. Well, I don\'t hate it.\'
Viktor smiled and said, "Then, shall we go out for a walk? I want to see the world outside." Adonis agreed and then accompanied him outside to show him where he had moved the house.
After the climate changed, the Southeast part of Asia became the land of the show. The usual greenery turned into snow-covered white and the temperature dropped below -60. All the people who lived here left or made their houses underground to survive.
Thus, the land around the mouth of Everest became a silent land.
Viktor walked outside the house and saw the cave with crystallized water hanging above like spears. The floor of the cave was also frozen slippery so Viktor started to figure skating.
"Master, do you like ice skating?"
"There is nothing I particularly hate. I like everything that humans or any beings love to do."
He then jumped high and landed on an invisible surface in the air. "Adonis, how did you manage to find a huge cave on Mount Everest like this? It\'s basically a small town. The ceiling is more than a hundred feet above the ground."
"It wasn\'t like this before. I cut the whole cave into one area. There were more than 20 narrow caves connected here. I just took the whole area and made it into one."
"Why inside a cave? There were oceans, deserts, and forests. Why inside a cave?"
"Because I want to protect my master from any kind of danger. So I hid you from open places where people might attack or think of attacking."
"I see…"
Viktor then walked out of the illusion barrier and the cold blow of a snowstorm blew his hair and his thin white shirt. The temperature was so low that his eyelashes were starting to form crystals.
Since demigods aren\'t affected by any of it, it remained calm to see the outside world after so many thousands of years. He took a deep breath and saw the sun even though a snowstorm was passing by.
"Adonis, I can never find any fault in your taste. This place is spectacular…"
Viktor looked below right after the storm went away and saw the level of clouds below the mountains. They were standing so high up from the sea level that the ring around the sun looked so big, yet so cold. The air was also so thin that he barely sensed any oxygen around the area. It was a place uninhabitable for any human. In case someone discovers this place, they would leave right away because the oxygen level was so low, barely noticeable.
Adonis picked up a place to live where nobody but them can live. It was a perfect place to hide and cut communication with humans on earth.
"But, how did you manage to get a Wi-Fi line in this area?" Viktor asked.
"Of all things, is this what you\'re asking me, master-_-?"
"I sensed the radiation around the house. Also, I\'m curious because it\'s been a while since I\'ve played some games-_-."
"-_-. I will prepare your gaming room, master-_-."
"I appreciate your thoughtful decision, Adonis-_-."
Adonis then went inside to prepare what he asked for and became busy. Viktor stayed there to see the world that he was going to leave behind one day to achieve what he yearned for.
The situation was all well except for the evil plans of Lucifer. Since Elesis had his backup, he was doing whatever he wanted in the realm of gods by hiding his identity as a servant of Lucifer. But, he didn\'t pay attention to the fact that he was "The Lucifer".
Rose Castel, somewhere in the territory of the god of all evil, Lucifer.
A servant with three tails and a long horn in the middle of his forehead opened the door to a massive room. He then walked into the middle of the room and bowed. "Delkira has arrived to serve its mighty lord. I\'ve gathered all the information you asked for, my lord."
The dark room suddenly turned into a bright one and a massive throne became visible. There, a man with vibrant red hair and red ruby eyes was sitting with his leg crossed. His charming face with no facial hair became joyful after hearing the news that had arrived.
"Raise your head, Delkira."
"Yes, my lord." The servant raised his head and opened the notebook that he was carrying in his small pouch. He then read it out loud, "On the gods year 30Q, 30th August, somewhere in God\'s gate realm, Elesis has gained more followers. Then, he killed more than 800 people in the name of justice.
The reason: 1. He was lacking divine Qi to reach his 4th stage core.
2. His followers were all devil worshipers.
3. He does not like the concept of \'evil\'.
4. He wants to wipe the \'evilness\' from existence. So he is simply taking advantage of your authorities to continue this work that is related to his own justification. He does not show any sign of respect towards the great lord, Lucifer.
This is the end of my report. The rest will be my lord\'s decision."
Lucifer smirked a little and said, "Let him do whatever he wants. But make sure he doesn\'t step foot inside my treasury or my office. But now, I have a new job for you."
"Please give me orders, my lord."
"Sent this letter along with five infinite cores to Elerous, the younger brother of Elesis. He is currently living on earth quietly. A few days ago, someone put a barrier around so my spying spell got cut off. I know he\'s up to something big so I want you to deliver this letter to him. Make it quick."
The servant took the letter and a huge wooden box from him. He then said, "I will take my leave, my lord. This lowly servant will bring good news very soon."
Lucifer smirked and mumbled, I\'m getting a new toy after so long. Now, we\'ll see how good that toy is. My patience is nearly at an end."
