Hao Ren turned his head awkwardly and found that the entrance to the different dimension had already opened, and was right behind him—this unlucky entrance was actually stuck in such a place, which almost overlapped with the main entrance of the Parthenon. The entry direction was simply the opposite...
In fact, earlier on Hessiana mentioned that the entrance of the relic overlapped with the entrance of the temple but, Hao Ren did not pay attention to it.
"So, this is the entrance?" Lily was the first one to jump to the entrance and observe it curiously. The entrance was a twisted translucent light film, had no fixed shape, like a projection of water curtain floating in mid-air. It had the width of about three or four meters with the height that connected to the temple's boulder beam. They could see a vague view of the different dimension from the light film where there seemed to have a different view of mountains and rivers. Lily curiously went to the back of the light film and found that there was nothing at the back of the light film--even the film itself had disappeared and she could see the persons directly behind the light film.
Vivian threw a small bat inside, then nodded to Hao Ren and said, "Well, it's a stable dimension, and it looks very spacious."
"Let's go!" Hao Ren rolled up his sleeves and took the lead to walk to the layer of light film that looked quite unreliable and Lily followed behind him and jumped into the light film, and followed by Vivian and Nangong Wuyue and Becky. Y'zaks stood at the back of the team and let Hessiana and Zeon Lucas go first. "You go first, I'll be the last one to go in. How about the altar outside…"
"These people will take care of it," Hessiana said and pointed to several mages who were maintaining the ritual and a circle of master guards standing around them, "They are the best fighters in the blood clan. They will take good care of the situation."
Zeon Lucas smiled and glanced at Y'zaks without saying anything, then lifted his leg and walked toward that layer of translucent light film.
At the other side of the light film, Hao Ren was staring blankly at the incredible scenery.
He stood on the top of a towering hill, beneath him was a stretch of open ground with broken slabstones. He did not expect that there were a clear and bright sky and a sea of clouds in this strange space, which was totally different from the kind of chaotic and dim space he had imagined. He saw the layers of clouds surging in front of his eyes, which were almost as high as the mountaintop as if he would fall into the sky with only a few steps forward. In this endless sea of clouds, Hao Ren could see the huge rocks floating in the air--the rocks seemed to be broken pieces of the mountain, with different sizes and shapes, floating in the clouds as if there was no gravity. Something even more amazing was floating in the farther sky: it was a temple-like ancient Greek building with a white and stately color and form and was much larger than the Parthenon. The building was already not intact, it was clear to see the jagged stubble on one side of it, as if half of the structure was abruptly torn away from the palace, while the rest of the building was floating in the sky above the sea of clouds as weightless as any other mountain fragment, slightly tilted, and a small part of it was hidden in the clouds.
The boundless sea of clouds, the broken rocks floating in the sky, and a sky palace slanted in the clouds, this was the scene that Hao Ren saw; shocking, and very challenging to the original cognition of the world.
But there was no much impact on him, his cognition of the world was already so twisted anyway.
"That's the energy zone?" Nangong Wuyue looked up at the sky and found ribbon-like colorful light streams floating in the more distant clear blue sky. These light streams were flowing through the whole sky, like a river of light constantly flowing and twisting. She could feel the disturbing power of the light: powerful, but distorted, seemingly completely uncontrollable.
Becky looked up at the sky curiously as well. She came from the Plane of Dreams, but she also felt strange to the bizarre scene in the sky. "What is that? The people in your world... in this place have even developed techniques of coloring the clouds? How free are the people here?"
"There is absolutely no such thing in the Plane of Dreams..." Hao Ren muttered while looked up at the sky. The data terminal was testing the energy readings around and at the same time kept warning in Hao Ren's head, "Warning, mixed-type radiation exceeding the standard, harmful to humans, but harmless to you all, warning, mixed radiation exceeding the standard, harmful to humans, but harmless to you all..."
Hao Ren took out the data terminal, shook it vigorously and scolded, "Then what are you alarming about? Can you just stay quiet?"
"Oh, I just want to show a sense of existence. I've been keeping quiet all the time and I guess you guys already forgot about me…"
Zeon and Hessiana also jumped in through the light film the moment Hao Ren kept the data terminal. Zeon looked weirdly at Lily who was running crazily around. Hessiana looked at Vivian with proud and said, "Lord Vivian, how's it? Is this place powerful? Do you feel the primitive energy around you? If the energy could be turned into magic power then we no longer have to worry about demon hunters!"
Vivian frowned and said, "Not... Not this kind of energy... These things are dangerous, better don't touch them!"
"What does it mean?" Zeon's attention suddenly shifted away from Lily, and he looked at Vivian with a startled face.
"Haven't you let other senior elders see the situation here?" Vivian stared at Zeon and asked.
Zeon opened his mouth, a little hesitated and said, "Err… We did invite Grandalr and Hesperides, but they're not interested in it, and we not yet invite other people… we just discovered the relic, I want to wait until we ascertain the structure of this place and then…"
"Here is not the mythical age..." Vivian looked around, raised her finger and pointed at the most striking hall in the distance. "Well, that indeed belong to Olympus family, but there's something wrong with the atmosphere here, and the raw energy in the air is not the product of mythical age, they are arcane energy that is more primitive and uncontrollable... I feel uncomfortable, some… a certain trait of these energies makes me sick, and it's no good messing with them."
Hessiana and Zeon were shocked at the same time. "You said this is not the power of the mythical age?"
Vivian said firmly, "No, even at the peak of the mythical age, there was no such energy in the air, and the environment didn't look like this at that time."
The greatest expectation of the unusual creatures regarding 'The Day of Return' was to find the source of power in the mythical era and restored their power. Therefore, Hessiana and Zeon were overjoyed after they discovered the energy that filled the space. They almost thought it was one of the 'remnants of the ancient kingdom' that collapsed and sealed off at the end of the mythical era, but now they were disappointed after they heard Vivian's judgment. Zeon began to ponder silently, and Hessiana asked with a little hope, "Well, there's energy everywhere, right? Although this is not the form of energy in the mythical age... it looks very powerful! It's definitely good to make use of it, and probably this could be as strong as the real primitive power."
"The power of the unknown source is never a good thing!" For some reason, Vivian looked more and more furious and her tone was very bad as if she was scolding Hessiana. "You will get killed for touching these sooner or later! No more study of the things here... Absolutely not allowed to extract any energy from here, and never infuse the energy into your body!"
Hessiana was shocked by Vivian's sudden rebuke. Hao Ren patted Vivian on the shoulder and said, "Err, calm down, please. You scared her."
Vivian paused for a few seconds and then slowly went back to her usual gentle expression and explained, "Oh… Oh… You're right. I'm too harsh. But Hessiana, it's for your own good. I feel the energy here is very dangerous... Although I can't remember when I had encountered it, it must be a bad one. Maybe... Forget it, I can't remember."
Then Zeon suddenly asked, "Lord Vivian, have you calmed down? So are we going to continue to look around the relic?"
Vivian seemed to be a little confused. She blinked a few times and then nodded as if awakening from a dream, cast an inquiring look at Hao Ren: Because at that moment Hao Ren was nearest to her. After Hao Ren confirmed that Vivian was fine, he nodded and said, "Let's continue. I want to look around here--rest assured, I promise not to touch 'your' things, I just look at them."
