Chapter 387: A beautiful World

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

On the steam locomotive, Lu Zhiyu travelled from the main world, across the portal, and arrived at Rhode Bitwall instantly. Everything around him seemed to faded away, transforming into void and silvery white shortly, then the locomotive took all through spaces, arriving at the City of Steams in Rhode Bitwall.

Through the endless tunnels, the locomotive travelled on the rails. Alchemy lamps lighted up in the tunnel, till the sky emerged, and a major city filled with metals and machinery appeared in front of everyone’s eyes.

“Wow!”, shouted kids on the train, as they were captivated by the scenery. They were students of various seminary schools. Those who came here and got off were at least apprentice professionals. It was completely a world of professionals.

It was an island floating on the sky. They had travelled on rails in the air, from the top of the island, circling down the City of Steams.

Alchemists in robes with mechanical dolls could be seen at their feet. Alchemy colossuses as tall as two-floored houses were moving around heavy cargos. Buildings on the streets spoke metal and retro. It was messy, but also weirdly beautiful at the same time.

Giant boulders floated around the island as well. Houses and shops were built on the boulders. Some buildings become one with the boulder below, looking like floating castles in the sky.

“Look! Look! The Sky Shop of Blanc! It’s real! I heard only the luckiest could see it. You could find anything inside! Elemental alchemy dolls, Philosopher’s potion, the mechanical core of Hall! Once a lucky dog found the legendary first batch second generation alchemy workbench! And someone from the Church of Steam and Machinery bought it!”

What was even more magical was that, when the steam locomotive was about to stop at the station, they saw a sop on the street stood up all of the sudden.

That’s right, an alchemy shop stood up. Like a steel bird, it spread its wings, flew to the sky slowly, becoming a moving castle. Passing through the shield of the City of Steams, the shop flew to another major city on an island.

Lu Zhiyu sat near the window. Young teenagers in the age of 12 or 13 pressed him against the window. Lu Zhiyu never imagined this.

At this moment, with the whistle blew, the train had stopped at the station. Passengers and children ran off the train immediately. They did not have the right to stay in Rhode Bitwall for long, as they were only tourists.

“The air, and environment have become similar to the main world!”, said Lu Zhiyu. He sniffed the air. It was not very refreshing, with the smell of rust and burnt gun powder. However, it had transformed into a place where even commoners could live.

The system of professionals changed the world in a way beyond imagination. Only after a few decades, Rhode Bitwall has transformed completely, leaving the name of Death Bitwall behind, turning into the kingdom of the sky.

Lu Zhiyu came by to check on the progress of Rhode Bitwall’s assimilation into the world. At the current pace, within 1,000 years, Rhode Bitwall would become one as the main world.

More importantly, the divine system and the forces of rules of the gods had entered the bitwall and spaces. The divine system was close to perfection.

Lu Zhiyu travelled on all kinds of special transportation methods in Rhode Bitwall. There was the steam locomotive which travelled across the sky directly, the alchemy aircraft which was spinning, trembling and spilling dark smoke, as if it was about to break down, and carriages of 3 rows, which could sit 6 people, dragged by magical horses with wings.

These powers were no wonders to Lu Zhiyu. However, such beautiful, dreamy kingdom with all these combined was breathtaking.

“The gravities are quite different though!”, said Lu Zhiyu.

Across different floating islands of various sizes, some had gravity which allowed someone to travel more than 10 meters with a small leap, and some had gravity which made even walking rather difficult. Depending on the different properties of different islands, various cities of professionals were built by professionals.

The original elemental creatures, gas-formed lives and astral lives merged into the system of Maria’s world, becoming a part of the world. However, these creatures with low intelligence and nothing but instinct, were mostly used by professionals and the Church of the God of Space and Exploration to transform this world, and create landscapes as they desired.

Snowy frozen islands, volcano islands with dripping lava, territories of wind where storms raged, powering alchemy mills, and lakes in islands filled with water.

“Next stop! Wrighthope Island!”

Mysterious professionals sat on metal seats on a giant insect with armor arrived at the core floating island of Rhode Bitwall, Wrighthope Islands, meaning the light of hope. It was where the main divine palace of the God of Space and Exploration located. The name of this floating island was given by the God of Space and Exploration as well.

The giant insect passed through the shield, entered the inside. The refreshing air woke up everyone. Forests and fields extended below their feet, with special spore astral lives growing within, nurturing special magical plants.

The closer one got to the center, one could see architectures of the style of the God of Space and Exploration, portals, and orderly major cities like channeling arrays. Priests of the God of Space and Exploration from all over the world came here to register, report and study.

As Lu Zhiyu just arrived at the square, he saw someone familiar immediately.

“Hey Hey! Hey! The Grand Theatre of Black Jack is about to start its performance, it’s about the Judgement Day! Feel the legends and stories of heroes, experience a different epic tale!”

A black wind raven spread the brochures on the sky. When someone threw it away once they finished reading, Black Jack just picked it up, and continued to give it to the next one.

The wind raven jumped and hopped on the ground, raising winds with its wings, collecting brochures on the ground and put them back into its satchel, just like the days when it was just a wind raven postman.

It was a bit tired, so it sat on the bench on the square, spread its wings, looking open and relaxed. At the moment, someone sat next to it on the empty bench.

“Hey, Anthony!”, shouted Black Jack as it jumped to the air, startled.

“Black Jack, what are you doing in the main world? Didn’t you go to the Star Kingdom with Rhode?”, said Lu Zhiyu. He stared at the adorable wind raven. Lu Zhiyu did not imagine that it would remain in this world, and become a level six. In terms of experience, it was the most ancient seniors.

Lu Zhiyu looked at Black Jack and said in satire, “And as a level six powerful being, you are doing trivial work in a theatre.”

Black Jack straightened up and said, “That’s because I like this world, I like humans, being busy and theatres! And I am not doing trivial work, I opened a theatre. I am the owner now!”

Black Jack waved its wings. A brochure flew out of its satchel. He said, “Look! Black Jack! Black Jack Grand Theatre!”

Black Jack was extremely proud, as if opening a grand theatre was the dream of his life. Though Lu Zhiyu did not understand at all how could this make a level six professional proud. Apart from mythical lives and gods, nothing in this world could threaten a level six wind raven. It had stood on the top of this world.

Lu Zhiyu hesitated and asked all of the sudden, “Black Jack, have you thought, your personality, nature, hobbies were designed by someone else? The things you love, even if you became a level six professional, your nature, still continued. That was how wind ravens were designed initially. You were born to be close to human and love life. Everything in this world was a play, fake and unreal. If that is the case, will you still be happy? Will you still love this world and humans? Don’t you find… this world to be dark and horrifying?”

Somehow, Lu Zhiyu felt the urge to ask Black Jack.

Black Jack looked to Lu Zhiyu as if he was a fool and said, “Happiness is happiness! Beauty is beauty! There is no fake or real. Al; I know is that the climax is that moment on stage. As for before the begin or after the end, or anything hidden behind the curtain, no one cares and there is no meaning! Is there anything more import than enjoying the happiness of life? Why do you think so much? You wizards… are weirdos! You keep thinking all sorts of stuff! Chasing after truth! Perfect world! Power and immortality! That’s why stupid heads like Bohr, madmen like Lewis and insane persons like you will always be there! Do you want to watch a play? Judgement Day, definitely a great production! Intense and exciting plot, promise to free you from your worries in no time!”

Black Jack threw the brochure into Lu Zhiyu’s hand. Beautiful painting and pictures of the actors in make-up were on the white paper. Lu Zhiyu looked to Black Jack’s eyes, and laughed in silence.
