Chapter 602  602. EMPTY PARADISE

Noah continued to fall thanks to the terrible force acting on his body. The tunnel he now determined he had fallen into remained bright, as several lines of light stretched toward its seemingly unending depths.

All the colors of the rainbow were present and bright. He could only wonder where he was being taken to.

'Is this the doing of the world?' He wondered sensing that the deeper he went the hotter his environment became. At some point, his clothes started to burn. However, that was when the heat suddenly vanished.

Noah continued to fall for minutes. He did not tumble in the air but fell with his face facing the dark depths of that ironically shining tunnel.

The walls of the tunnel were black, while those lines of colors hundreds in number ran across its length. Its width was also large.

The insides of the tunnel lacked air, meaning Noah suffered no burns for traveling that fast without the protection of his affinity.

He had tried to unfold his consciousness but they were negated by a more powerful force. He could only wait at that point.

Things eventually changed in that strange environment, a white light entered the gaze of a patiently waiting Noah and the more he drew nigh to it, the more intense it got.

So much so that when he had been about to cross the light which he identified as the end of that tunnel, he crossed his arms on his eyes to not blind himself.

The moment Noah crossed the light he felt gravity more or less return to normal and he found himself falling into an immense transparent pool.

The pool shone greatly with azure light, but he couldn't even call it a pool due to its size.

'More like an ocean,' he commented inwardly.

Hundreds of massive pillars worth of that liquid stretched towards the upper portions of the area. Like pipes connecting the world to that mass and supplying it with its contents.

Noah unfolded his consciousness but his mental waves could not comprehend the sheer size of that body of liquid.

It didn't take him too long to land inside the liquid, and although he had already sensed it while he approached it, Noah felt his body tremble at the touch of that body of liquified mana.

That was the purest mana he had ever come in contact with.

Another pressure acted on his body and he immediately began to sink, but Noah activated the function of his body and moved to at least make gains.

His body could absorb mana and make it usable for him.

Still, Noah determined that simply absorbing the liquid around him would be wasteful, so he commanded his consciousness to scoop as much as it could.

The mana remained terribly heavy, but he managed to get a small pool worth of that pure mana before his soul island grew weary.

Noah continued to sink and the vastness of that pool honestly made his curiosity spike. He had been sinking for several minutes straight but the bottom seemed to not exist. At least not yet.

During those minutes he managed to obtain more of that liquified mana until he ended up arriving beneath the sea of mana.

Once again, an area filled with air unfolded in his eyes as he began to fall again. The area had stone walls and it remained immense in terms of size, but the sheer amount of magic he sensed around him almost deafened his senses.

Noah had arrived in a region lit by the shining sea up above. He could sight lush greenery, forests, lakes, rivers, and even mighty landforms.

A fantastical scenery unlike what he had ever seen on Cregar, but the place was void of living creatures.

'Empty paradise,' he remarked inwardly, sweeping his gaze on that immense environment. He understood that it existed far below the surface. Almost like a different dimension

'This place isn't suitable for anything less than the fourth tier,' he concluded,seeing as the mana density in that place far outweighed the rest of the world.

Anything less than the fourth tier would die from pressure and ironically; too much mana.

Unfortunately, he didn't get to spend more than ten seconds when a teleport acted on his body, and the scenery changed.

Noah opened his eyes in an earthen passageway, he scanned the environment with his eyes wondering why whatever power that had brought him there,had done so.

A strange wind blew within that passageway and Noah looked forward, towards its end.

"Come..." a whisper in the wind called out, and he immediately followed its words not sensing any danger just yet.

The insides of that rather huge passageway featured azure veins running across its length. He sensed mana being carried in those veins, but did not know their use.

However, the light those veins produced was enough to light up that place properly. The walls were once again black and the azure color gave it a magical vibe.

Noah followed the soft wind rather casually, he still didn't understand what was going on but for some reason, he couldn't run in that place.

Not only that he couldn't call upon the rest of his affinities.

He asked the system why that was so and its reply remained pretty simple.

He had entered the domain of an existence far more powerful than he, and one of its rules was that no magical affinity beneath its level could be utilized.

"Can I break out of here?" Noah asked the system.

"Yes. Simply accessing your cultivation room would lead you out of here, but you won't have a dwelling place on the surface of Cregar, since Cregar has summoned you. The entirety of the planet is its domain."

"Besides, we both know you aren't leaving," the system giggled, even if her tone had been serious seconds earlier.

Noah nodded his head. The fact that he could leave anytime silver gaze fell on a wide area possessing seven immense pillars that surrounded a floating piece of land and their bottom could not be provided him the luxury of proceeding without fear.

It didn't take long to arrive at the end of the tunnel and behold his silver gaze fell on a wide area possessing seven immense pillars that surrounded a floating piece of land and their bottom could not be seen due to the dark depths of that place.

All seven pillars being of seven different colors caught his gaze, but what stood in their center demanded his attention.

Noah lowered his gaze and they fell on the center of that strange chamber. His eyes arrived on a transparent pink sphere no more than 20m in size.

Its material seemed to be made of gas, yet it looked solid. Motes of multicolored light silently appeared and disappeared in its mass and a certain vibrancy existed about it that Noah remained unable to properly comprehend.

The transparent sphere floated above the statues of four opened palms featuring several ancient multicolored words and markings running across their obsidian black surface.

A flight of gray stairs featuring strange symbols etched into their surface unfolded right before Noah.

The stairs led right to a bridge connected to the floating piece of land, but other tunnels led to that place and each one featured stairs that led directly to the sphere below.

"Welcome Noah… I've been expecting you for a long time now." A feminine voice rang out in the area and everything in the chamber including the pillars glowed brighter, before dying down at the end of the voice's words.
