Chapter 100 - Great Earth Essence Liquid
"There's nothing here"
Someone exclaimed while looking at the vast expanse of whiteness in front of him.
"Where are the treasures?"
Another person asked in a stunned manner.
The people outside had all passed through the black door. After stepping through the door, they felt like they were transported to an entirely different location separate from the trial lands. It was a huge space and looking around, it seemed boundless. The atmosphere was heavy and dull, with mist filling the entire space.
For the majority of the people, this was the first time they were experiencing this after entering the trial land. Although they prepared themselves mentally before stepping through the door, it still left them somewhat panicky.
Looking below them, there was nothing to be seen. It was like they were all standing in the empty night sky, floating to be more precise because everything below them was pitch black nothingness. This further increased the agitation some of them were feeling towards the place.The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
"Where are we?"
One of the youths from the first group asked in a confused state.
"This seems to be a separate space entirely from where we came from"
The young man said while looking around curiously.
He was also curious about this place. They were supposed to find a treasure here, but now, there was nothing to be seen, at all.
Amongst the crowd, some weren't as agitated as the majority of the crowd were though. Klaus, Reynolds, and Alice were amongst the few.
"It's just like that palace we encountered during the first period we entered the trial land"
Klaus said to his friends.
They were relatively more relaxed compared to most of the people here. Not just them, there were also a few groups who didn't seem bothered by this, seemed like they had also experienced something like the palace also.
"Yeah, only, this place feels more complicated"
Reynolds nodded.
At least at the palace, they could still see some things, this place, on the other hand, had nothing. There were no buildings, no nothing. It was like they were transported to an empire of nothingness.
Everyone felt like they had entered into an illusory space, the idea of moving forward didn't come across their minds. Under such situations, it would render one aimless even if they had the will to seek for treasures.
Boom!
"It's a stone slab!"
"You better keep your heads straight, or you'll lose them"
He said coldly.
A chill ran down their spines. Keeping their thoughts straight, they nodded. They were trained by the family anyway, and without the family, they wouldn't have been here.
"There's still no signs of Grey. Don't tell me he's going to miss this treasure"
Klaus said looking around.
They had been here for some time now, but Grey still hasn't appeared. Had the door still been visible, he would have gone back out and searched for him.
Fifty-four ancient paths suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Now, they were all thinking of which path to choose. According to the words, there were treasures and dangers in each path. Some are more fruitful, and others were more dangerous. Also, one of the paths held the legacy the man spoke about.
"Which path would we take now?"
Some asked looking at the ancient paths.
"Just pick randomly"
Another one said.
"*Sigh* There's nothing we can do about it now. Let's each choose a separate path"
Alice sighed before suggesting.
Since Grey wasn't here, they couldn't stay here and wait when others had already started picking different paths and entering.
Klaus and Reynolds nodded before each choosing a path.
Soon, everyone had picked a path and entered.
.......
Back at the valley...
"This is the place"
A youth said calmly.
Looking closer, the door was about to shut close. The youth quickly dashed towards the door and passed through before it closed shut.
Entering the space, everyone had already picked a path, the youth read the words before randomly choosing a path and entering.
Had Grey or his friends been here, they would have been able to recognize the youth. It was none other than Jonas.
After Jonas vanished, the stone slab and the ancient paths disappeared as well. It only showed how lucky Jonas was, had he come moments later, he would have missed this opportunity.
