Ashe gritted her teeth and finally endured the discomfort brought on by the gravitational reversal.
She sincerely didn't want to experience that feeling of blood stagnation and backflow a second time.
"Is this the underground cavern?" She looked around and found herself sitting on a meadow. When she looked up, a strange sight she had never seen before came into view.
Above her head, there was no longer a blue sky, but another land, filled with hills and valleys, with huge mountain peaks piercing down like stalactites, and in the distance, a strange light source hanging.
She herself stood on the other side of the earth, stomped her feet, and felt a solid sensation coming from beneath her feet.
The feeling of solid ground beneath her feet relieved her, and then Ash noticed that many pebbles were floating between the two pieces of land.
"That should be the gravitational anomaly region."
Looking back on her past experiences, she always felt like she was dreaming.
First, he was rescued by a great witch, and then, with her help, he escaped the pursuit of the giant skeleton lizard and came from an island called Skull Island to the underground cavern.
"Is everyone alright?"
She looked at her companions; fortunately, none of them were seriously injured.
Footsteps approached, and Ashe turned around to see the great witch who had saved them walking slowly towards them.
"We've finally arrived here, the place mentioned by the divine revelation, the closest to the core of the Ring."
The Great Witch Anna chuckled softly, her gaze fixed intently on the only source of light in the sky, a fervent faith brewing in her eyes.
"As long as you get there according to divine revelation, you can proceed to the next step, and then you will be able to..."
'
As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer until she fell silent.
Anna suppressed the fervor in her eyes, brushed a strand of black hair behind her ear, and looked at Ashe with a smile.
"What did you mean by what you just said?" Aisha became suspicious.
She was grateful to the great witch who had saved them, but she didn't completely trust Anna yet.
In particular, Anna's recent display of fervor made her feel uneasy.
Fanatics are always dangerous.
"What I mean is, I want you to go to that place."
Anna pointed to the light source in the distance and said in an unquestionable tone.
"Is that the sun in the hole underground? Why do we have to go there?" Vera asked.
"Because of divine revelation, divine revelation requires you to go there in order to proceed to the next step."
"Your god wants us to go there, so are we some kind of sacrifice? Do you want to sacrifice us with your blood?" Ash became alert.
"Sacrifice? That's a good description." Anna curled the corners of her lips. "But unfortunately, I don't know the next instructions from the divine revelation, nor do I know if you will be sacrificed."
But if it really came down to a blood sacrifice, she would do it without hesitation.
"You have no choice but to come with me."
Under her coercion, Ash and the others had no choice but to obey her orders.
They couldn't handle the previous three witches, let alone this great witch.
On the way, Ashe remained silent. She had a secret that she had never told anyone, not even her closest friend, Violet.
Calming herself down, she carefully felt the pulse in her blood, resonating with the great beings that were scattered throughout the world.
Even when she encountered that group of giant skeletal lizards, she vaguely sensed a connection between herself and the giant beasts, a connection that allowed her to command them.
She didn't understand what was going on, and didn't show it casually, but secretly started to study it by herself.
Not only can I interfere with underground cavities, but I can also influence the giant beasts that roam the surface to some extent. Perhaps I can use this to...
Aisha lowered her eyes, burying her thoughts deep in her heart.
The group walked for a long time, but still hadn't reached their destination. The light source illuminating the underground cavity remained suspended in the sky, seemingly within reach, but in reality, it was far away.
The principle is similar to the saying "looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death."
As they walked further back, the Great Witch Anna grew somewhat irritated. She simply used her power to lift everyone up and carry them toward the source of light.
The Great Witch's flying speed was obviously much faster than her walking speed.
What would normally take several days to complete, she reduced to just a few hours.
"We've arrived, this is it."
Upon hearing Anna's voice, Ashe looked up, her eyes widening involuntarily.
Before her stood a magnificent and towering mountain, and at its summit, a storm cloud lingered, radiating a strange golden light in all directions.
That luminous storm cloud was the source of light illuminating the entire underground cavity.
"Are we going to that mountain, or that storm cloud?" Vera asked in a trembling voice.
Anna, still looking like a charlatan, shook her head and said, "I don't know either. When we get closer, divine revelation will naturally give me the answer."
Upon hearing this, Aisha's heart sank, unsure whether she should reveal the secret at this moment.
If she could lure a few giant beasts, she might be able to distract the Great Witch Anna and prevent her from paying attention to them.
However, this also carries risks, since she cannot fully control the giant beast's actions, and if it goes out of control, they will inevitably be affected.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally decided to observe first and see what the god Anna spoke of intended for them to do. "There seems to be a man-made structure embedded in the mountain," a witch exclaimed.
Ashe looked, and indeed, just as she had said, she saw a temple-like building embedded in the outside of the mountain.
However, compared to a typical temple, this building was far too large, as if it were designed specifically for giant beasts.
"Ah, I've received a divine revelation. It seems this is the place we're meant to go."
Anna was overjoyed and increased her speed again and again, carrying the witches as she flew towards the entrance of the temple.
The closer people got to the temple, the more obvious its immense size became.
Each of the colonnades was hundreds of meters tall and looked exceptionally ancient, leading many to believe that its users were not humans, but giant beasts.
But Anna's focus was not on the temple; she had already fallen into a state of fanaticism because of the divine revelation she had received.
The group landed in front of the temple gate, only to find the gate collapsed and shattered into huge stones, no longer able to stop the intruders.
As soon as she stepped into the temple, a strange whisper entered Aisha's mind, as if someone was whispering in her ear, or as if someone was speaking in her head.
"Strange, did you hear any strange noises?"
Her companions all shook their heads, but Anna suddenly turned around and stared at her with a look of surprise and joy that sent chills down her spine.
"You heard it, didn't you? You heard the divine revelation too, right?"
She grabbed Ash's hand with such force that she almost left a bruise on Ash's hand.
A moment later, realizing her lapse in composure, she took the initiative to explain the characteristics of divine revelation.
After listening, Ashe paused for a moment, then nodded. "If your description is correct, I did hear that voice."
"Great, it seems you are the chosen one."
Anna looked at her strangely, and her attitude improved considerably.
"The chosen one... what does that mean?"
She had barely finished asking when Anna brushed her off with, "You'll find out soon enough. Now, let's go into the temple."
Under the Great Witch's coercion, they had no choice but to venture deeper into the temple.
An ominous premonition surrounded Ashe, and in her unease, she used her bloodline as a guide to call out to the behemoth.
This is an ordinary day in the real world, but it is of great significance to the Environmental Committee.
All committee members gathered at the boundary operation facility for the final meeting.
Or perhaps, the Last Supper.
At the long table, thirteen committee members, dressed in formal attire, appeared natural, as if they had shed all pretense.
Even Peter Weyland, who was usually the most rigid and serious, showed a slight smile at this moment.
Mo Di mingled among them, dressed in an ancient-style red crane outfit; only Hong Yu's style was similar to his.
"It seems this is the last time," he said.
Aichas, standing nearby, chuckled and chimed in, "Yeah, this is probably the last time."
The two exchanged a smile and toasted each other.
"Ahem, everyone," Wieland cleared his throat in the middle of the long table, "this is our last meeting, and also our last supper in this world."
"Thank you all for your continued efforts, which have made our shared ideals possible."
Everyone raised their glasses in a toast, their manners elegant and their faces smiling.
"And the researchers who proposed the concept of the Ring Boundary, Hongtu who made significant contributions to the research on the Witch Factor... and Styx Corporation."
He finally looked at Modi.
"Without Stix's witch production line, our progress wouldn't be this fast. It's fair to say that Stix deserves a lot of credit for making this meeting possible today."
Modi nodded slightly, his smile becoming increasingly playful.
After saying the last sentence, Wieland put down his wine glass and sat down, followed by the other committee members.
Even though there were platters of delicacies in front of them, no one was in the mood to enjoy them. After all, the opportunity to become a god was so close at hand, who would want to eat?
They're still sitting here, but only out of consideration for their own pride. After all, they're all important figures, and they wouldn't do anything shameful.
Besides, it's not like they'll never see each other again. After becoming gods, they'll run into each other all the time. It's better for everyone to save face for each other.
Therefore, even though they were anxious, they had to pretend to be slow and leisurely. It was probably only Modi on the field who was really enjoying his meal.
"The executive of Styx is so composed." Everyone nodded inwardly, but on the surface they appeared calm and collected.
Before long, the agonizing yet significant meeting came to an end, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"The deep-sea pod is ready, everyone. See you in the new world." With that, Weyland stood up first, followed by the other committee members.
They left the conference room and went to their respective infiltration rooms, lay down in their deep dive pods, and gradually lost consciousness.
"I can't help but laugh just thinking about what's going to happen next."
Modi remained lucid, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.
I endured it, I endured it, and I endured it again.
A moment later, he deliberately detached his consciousness and plunged into the ring.
