National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

The little chick glanced at Ren Yi with its clear amber eyes, then turned to the boundless forest of glass trees.

"Chirp."

Why does this seem a bit perfunctory?

Then it plopped down again and continued sunbathing on the [Heart of the Sun]. That shout just now seemed to have been just to clear its throat.

And incidentally, to intimidate these two-legged creatures.

"..."

"Is it... looking down on you?" Ivan suppressed a laugh and nudged Renyi with his elbow.

"Possibly."

However, while the group was chatting idly,

The light pollution in the glass tree forest ahead, which had blocked their path, suddenly lit up?!

The entire forest was as bright as a 1000-watt light bulb!

"Buzz—"

Countless rays of light shot into the sky from the depths of the forest, like a golden torrent formed by the melting of millions of amber beads!

"What is that?!" Esting exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone was startled by this sudden change and stood up.

Then, they witnessed a scene they would never forget.

"grumble--!"

"Hey——!"

Countless cries erupted from the forest.

Ten, a hundred, thousands, tens of thousands...

Tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of birds burst forth from that radiant forest!

They come in all shapes and sizes: there are white-headed giant eagles with wings like knives; there are blue cranes with tail feathers trailing a stream of light; there are small and exquisite birds that flock together... They were all guardians who were born from the ashes, but now they seem to have received some kind of command and have come out in full force!

It was like a grand pilgrimage!

A torrent of birds blotted out the sky, their goal clear—

【abyss】

Ivan's muscles tensed, and he immediately raised the "Thoughts" card.

"wrong!"

Klaus couldn't help but lift his glasses, even though everything was still glittering before his eyes. "They're not hostile!"

The flock of birds is getting closer.

The gusts of wind whipped up by the flapping of wings caused the Abyss to sway slightly.

Sean and Esther gripped the railing tightly, while Aurora instinctively gripped the hilt of her sword.

However, nothing dangerous happened.

The larger birds were in the middle, and the smaller ones were on the edges, layer upon layer, densely packed on the bottom of the boat, the wings of millions of birds intertwined to form a huge net.

"Bang!"

The massive ship lurched violently, then suddenly broke free from the constraints of gravity.

The ship was lifted up by these incredible creatures!

This brand-new 'engine' lifted the ship off the ground, while 'Free-Range Chicken' Jin raised its head—

"Chirp!"

The drawn-out ending of the syllable, coupled with that little look in his eyes, made the meaning crystal clear:

Does it have a certain prestige?

Renyi now understands the "theoretical" assessment of Hydra.

Little one, you're putting on airs!

As long as it works, that's fine. With a wry smile, I gently cradled its round little belly and placed it directly on a protruding hand bone on the mast.

Thanks.

Here's a VVVIP viewing seat for you.

[A palanquin carried by 100,000 birds—what kind of incredible mode of transportation is this?!]

[Brothers, type "show your support!" in the chat!]

[The Magpie Bridge is nothing compared to this; even the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl would quit the internet overnight after seeing it...]

[Then the aircraft carrier arrives! They can even lift the carrier-based aircraft up and fly them, hahaha!]

but......

They had the prestige, but the route soon ran into major problems.

Instead of flying smoothly across the forest, [Abyss] was carried by the group of guides who were on steroids and plunged headlong into the clouds!

The temperature dropped precipitously.

The fierce wind made the blue and white striped sails flap loudly, and Nathan had to climb up against the gale to furl the sails.

"Did these birds drink fake alcohol?"

Nathan shivered from the cold. "Why fly so high? Just walk forward! Are you afraid of getting a ticket if you fly too low?"

They quickly passed through the clouds.

Ren raised his head and stared at the rainbow-colored band of light that suddenly appeared above him:

"Get into the observation chamber... quick!"

Without saying a word, the group rushed into the observation cabin, and Klaus, who was covering the rear, casually kicked the clueless Rabbit Grass inside as well.

The hatch slammed shut, shutting out the increasingly cold air.

The glass tree forest below had long since shrunk to a blurry point of light.

Through the transparent bulkhead, everyone finally saw the incredible luck they were about to encounter—

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple.

—Just like the entrance they used to break into this plant kingdom!

It looks exactly like undiluted watercolor paint, haphazardly smeared on with a brush, with jagged edges resembling pixels visible at the boundaries of the colors.

"So... what exactly is that thing?"

Klaus ripped off his ink-stained glasses, his gray eyes filled with shock.

"It's the 'ceiling' of this world," Ren Yi thought to himself.

As they got closer, they could see more and more clearly.

That wasn't a light screen at all.

Instead, it was a canvas that covered the entire sky...

On the canvas, the flowing colors are rough yet seem to possess life; each change seems to depict a bizarre and fantastical world.

He could even see some distorted shadows struggling and swimming within them.

"..."

His mind sank into the abyss.

He tried to establish a deeper connection with the ship beneath his feet and with the embers, so that he could command the flock of birds to stop.

But the feedback I received was all joy and elation?!

they......

I want to break through this false sky!

"Could the exit be up there?!" Klaus exclaimed in surprise.

However, everyone's surprise quickly turned into shock.

"Hold on tight!"

"I can only say in a deep voice."

Almost the instant he finished speaking, the figurehead was swallowed up by the canvas.

There was no impact.

It was as if time and space had been distorted once again.

The thick "pigment" poured over, but was blocked by an invisible barrier, as if it were sliding down the hull.

The people in the observation cabin watched as they passed through layer after layer of bizarre and colorful blocks of light.

This time seemed to be stretched out infinitely.

Before they could even react, the 100,000 palanquin bearers had already swiftly passed through the watercolor canvas. The moment they passed through the canvas, they vanished into countless specks of light.

Gravity is now online.

All that was left for them was tens of thousands of meters in the air and a real free fall!

"Fuck you!!!" Ivan's roar was swallowed by the raging wind.

......

Let's return to reality.

"captain!!!"

Nathan pressed himself against the wall, clinging tightly to the cradle containing the [Swiftbird Dragon Egg], wishing he could squeeze right next to the egg.

"Isn't it over yet? When are we going to be 'ten-second true men'?!"

"It'll be soon...it'll be soon."

He made perfunctory remarks, but his eyes were fixed on the churning thick fog below.

Nearly.

[Abyss] Plunging into the thick fog, my vision was suddenly swallowed by a gray-white expanse, and the feeling of weightlessness intensified!

"Aaaaaahh ...

It's now!

"Stay in the air!"

It has almost zero latency.

The Abyss, which was falling at a terrifying speed, suddenly stopped in mid-air, as if time had stopped!
