Many regular folks could not accept the disruption to the understanding of today’s system. People had always been educated on Earth that the universe was so unique and vast that no one really knew how large it was. There suddenly was an outer universe now, something they simply didn’t dare imagine.
However, Xerxes nodded, “There is indeed an outer universe. Alex and I have once seen it.”
In the underworld, the two had met people from outer space. Such words, again, gave rise to suspicion.
They walked along the road while talking. Finally, they came to the end, but there was an underground lake. The lake had no end. It was gloomy and cold, as dark as ink.
There was a boat by the shore. It looked very rudimentary as if it would fall apart at any time. But, a lantern was lit at the bow, the dim light within it flickering weakly.
With this weak light, one could see layers of white fog covering the lake that moved and wafted like waving layers of silk and satin.
The old man walked onto the boat.
“Come on up!”
Alex asked, “Where does this sail?”
The old man said, “Of course, to pick up those few friends of yours. Then, I will take you to the trial.”
”Huh..?”
“Senior, from your tone, could you, perhaps, know about the current status of our friends?”
The old man nodded, “Yes, they are all still alive.”
Martiny and the others smiled and immediately hugged each other in excitement and relief, tears streaming down their face. But after lifting the weight from their shoulders, their expressions all became odd…
If the old guy knew from the beginning, why did favonovel.com not say it earlier?
Was favonovel.com playing a trick on everyone?
However, before they found Gilbert and others, no one dared to turn against the old man.
They traveled on the lake for a full half-hour. Save for the old man, Alex and others were completely confused about the direction they were going in. Everything went quite smoothly, however, as they saw an island in the center of the lake. A beam of light cast down, shining right on the island.
It wasn’t a huge island and only ran a few kilometers around at most. Its lands were barren, devoid of vegetation.
Several people saw Gilbert and others sitting around.
“Mom, Dad!”
“Husband..?”
A group immediately rushed forward.
Several people on the island were also shocked, never expecting Martiny and the others to find them.
Xerxes saw Jade, who was still alive. He couldn’t help but feel happy, with tears in his eyes. He rushed over.
“You are still alive, Jade! Do you know how worried I was?”
Jade also stood up and quickly ran towards Xerxes. Xerxes was so happy to open his arms, intending to give favonovel.com a big hug. ‘A reunion is happening after a calamity…’ favonovel.com thought.
Unexpectedly, when Jade was almost in front of him, favonovel.com turned a corner and headed to Alex, giving favonovel.com a tight hug.
“Little Alex, you are still alive. Do you know how worried I was?”
Xerxes’ face went stiff.
“…”
