Chapter 355: 355

Chapter 355: Return

“Is this a shard of the Book of Creation?”

Xiao Lin and Lilith both exchanged looks. They might each have a shard, but neither of them knew what the shards actually looked like to this day, and the scene in front of them was way too odd.

In Xiao Lin’s mind, since it was a shard, it should have been something the size of a thumb or something like a diamond, but the ball-shaped object in front of them was as big as half a soccer field.

The volcano was still erupting, and large amounts of lava flowed everywhere. After a few minutes, the dragon went toward Xiao Lin with the strange ball in tow.

The dragon once again turned into a human, and the woman’s face basically said it was now Xiao Lin’s problem. Xiao Lin said in frustration, “How am I supposed to carry this?”

“I’ll help you.”

Xiao Lin let out a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to voice his thanks, the woman walked over to him in large strides, grabbed his collar and threw him into the air.

Xiao Lin cried out as he watched the ball of light close in on him until he went right inside of it. He then noticed that the ball of light actually had no physical body. The outer shell of the colorful lights seemed to be like a bubble, soft and light.

Xiao Lin’s view was now completely covered by the five-colored lights, but the scenery in front of him suddenly changed. He noticed that he was somehow in a limitless universe, and in the distance was a bright star. Below him was a yellow earthen planet.

Xiao Lin tried to get a better look at the planet, but the moment he tried to do so, he noticed that his body suddenly started moving. He was moving quickly toward the planet’s surface at a shocking speed. His heart had almost jumped into his throat, but when he got within a few hundred meters, he started to slow down until he stopped moving.

It was an empty and desolate planet. Other than rock formations and an endless wasteland, there was nothing to be seen. The sky was covered with a gray layer of dust that even the sunlight was unable to pierce through. Xiao Lin did not feel the cold, but something in his subconscious told him that the planet was extremely cold, to the degree that normal life could not exist.

Where was this?

What kind of place was this?

Xiao Lin shouted out loud, but he did not get any response. All he could do was float around on the surface of the planet. At some point, the dust in the sky started to part. With the introduction of sunlight, the planet’s temperature started to rise.

The first thing that appeared were flames, which was the fire element. Next was water, slowly gathering and forming rivers and creeks. The change in the weather started to produce the wind element, and from the nourished lands plants started to grow, forming the earth element.

Finally, that desolate planet started to bear the basic foundations of life.

The scene stopped there, and what he saw in front of him started to rapidly change again. What Xiao Lin saw was actually the product of the ball of light rapidly transferring a large amount of information into his head, basically showing him the birth of the four basic elements.

Xiao Lin returned to the ground. When he looked up, he noticed in surprise that the ball of light had vanished without a trace. He furrowed his eyebrows and looked at Lilith. The latter raised her hands, looking at him with the same difficult look. “You were thrown into the ball of light by that girl just now, and you quickly returned by yourself.”

The entire process had only taken a few minutes, and the light surrounding the ball had quickly dispersed. There was nothing within the ball at all, so Xiao Lin was full of doubt. He scratched his head, thinking about the scene he saw earlier before having a moment of realization. A shard did not convey a physical shard, but rather a form of information. Since he had already received that information, he had obtained the shard.

“Leave now! Without the shard, this world does not have the ability to continue existing.”

As if hearing her words, the volcano started to erupt even more fiercely. Other volcanoes in the distance started to erupt as well. Large amounts of lava began to cover the land, and the blood red sky started to shatter like glass, large pieces falling toward the ground. The scene was actually quite familiar, it looked like what Xiao Lin saw right before he left The Final Lands.

The dragon woman was quite calm, not appearing to want to bother with their current predicament. Xiao Lin and Lilith did not say anything. Leaving that world naturally needed the help of the dragon, but the woman did not seem to want to leave immediately.

Looking at the world collapsing around them, Xiao Lin could not help but voice his urgency.

The black dragon looked at him thoughtfully, saying with some dissatisfaction, “I’ve helped you so much. Do you not have anything to ask me?”

“Huh?” Xiao Lin’s face was full of sweat. He actually did have a lot he wanted to ask, but he did not feel like that was the time.

Lilith rolled her eyes, nodding to the dragon as she said sincerely, “Thank you for your help. If it’s possible, could we know your name?”

The dragon snorted, obviously unhappy that Lilith was the one who had to ask the question. However, she still used a low voice as she said, “Remember this well! Onyxia, that’s my name. Don’t forget your promise. When I need help in the future, you have to lend me a hand.”

Lilith sighed. She noticed that the dragon, Onyxia, did not refer to the two of them when she said that. It was obvious that, in the dragon’s eyes, Lilith was not at all important. The dragon only wanted Xiao Lin to remember.

“Onyxia?” Xiao Lin repeated the somewhat familiar name a few times with a strange look on his face. “What a nice name. I’ll remember it.”

The praise lifted Onyxia’s expression somewhat before she cried out toward the sky, turning back into the large black dragon. Two gigantic claws grabbed ahold of them before she flew right toward the shattered sky.

The black dragon was extremely fast. Even though the claws were protecting Xiao Lin, it still failed to block the wind roaring in his ears. As they got higher, Xiao Lin started to feel like the air was getting thinner. When they broke past the shattered sky, there was only darkness around them. Xiao Lin’s head started to get heavy. He did not know how long the rest of the journey took, and he felt like he was carried across a dark and extremely long tunnel by Onyxia.

When he opened his eyes again, he noticed that Lilith and himself were lying down on wet ground. The silent night sky had two moons in it, signifying that they had returned to Planet Norma.

However, Xiao Lin was shocked when he noticed where he was lying down. It was actually the center of Silverlight Lake, but the entire lake had been completely dried up. He did not know where the lake water had gone. All that was left was seaweed, mud, and countless fish flopping around.
