Chapter 685: Ethereal Plane
Translator: Shiraishi Editor: TheAlliance
'I belong here?'
Doubts rose up deep in Marvin's heart.
Suddenly, something flashed in Marvin's mind: 'I am Marvin, I'm in the Sky Tower!'
When this thought appeared, it spread like wildfire. Those memories that had been added by some external source receded away like the tide!
'I clearly remember smoothly passing the 1st Floor's test and being taken away by that stone tablet.'
'Could this be an illusion?'
Marvin's mind was on alert.
It wasn't too strange to encounter an illusion here. He had experienced many such things in Feinan, including the dreams of the Dream God's Divine Servant, Ambella.
Compared to those illusions, this world seemed more benign, not trying to forcibly seal Marvin's memories.
He had only been suppressed at the start by a considerable amount of Order Power, but he quickly started recovering his memory.
It seemed that this illusion wasn't being directly controlled by someone.
'Could it be an illusion that was created by Lance? But what does this world mean?'
Marvin felt somewhat puzzled.
He could still feel the power of the Wisdom Chapter in his body. With but a thought, this Artifact made by the Wisdom God could smash this illusionary world to pieces.
But he didn't do so.
He instinctively felt that this world didn't have any malice towards him.
On the contrary… this world seemed very friendly and inviting, like an old friend that hadn't been seen for many years.
He opened the car window and looked at the scenery outside.
The flying car was speeding along the path, but Marvin could still see out the window with his own eyes.
The silvery-white skyscrapers were neat and orderly. They would occasionally pass by some civilian districts, and he could see the people there lining up for something on their own initiative, while some sweethearts were holding hands, all wearing gentle and intimate smiles.
'What kind of world is this?'
As this question popped up in Marvin's mind, he tilted his head back and suddenly saw a huge screen.
Just like what he saw on his balcony, there were many characters on the screen, but he could only see the headline…
[New World]
'New World?'
Marvin thought about its meaning.
A completely new world?
A world with only gentle smiles and no evil or other states of mind.
Marvin finally understood where his uneasiness and the strange feeling came from.
This really was a completely new world. Everyone looked completely new, and there were no negative emotions, no disputes, only love and smiles.
But such a world gave Marvin a very fake and abnormal feeling!
Was this world really beautiful? Marvin didn't think so.
At this point, he suddenly made a firm decision.
Whatever the meaning behind this illusion was, he couldn't keep staying here.
Marvin didn't dwell on the meaning of the words "New World" any longer.
His goal was to quickly get a hold of the Fate Tablet, to grasp the fate of mankind in his hand.
He then took out the Wisdom Chapter!
The Wisdom God's awe-inspiring power shrouded the entire New World, and Marvin saw the scenery around him begin bursting into fragments.
Everything was returning to its original form, turning into a gentle light.
A calm voice echoed from the center of the light: "Don't forget the key."
The light receded a bit, revealing a rolled-up page floating in front of Marvin.
'It's actually the Book of Nalu?'
An expression of shock appeared on Marvin's face.
He looked around at his surroundings. A black room. Not far, a door from which a milky-white light blossomed was waiting for him.
He didn't know what was behind the door.
But still, there was a page of the Book of Nalu hovering in front of him!
Could he be inside the stone tablet right now?
How come there was a page of the Book of Nalu here?
Marvin couldn't figure out the answers to these questions. It seemed like everything involving Lance couldn't be judged by common sense.
Regardless, Marvin directly took his Book of Nalu out.
The floating page didn't resist the call of the Book of Nalu and directly merged with the others.
After the absorption, Marvin opened the Book of Nalu and glanced at it.
Of the 11 pages of the Book of Nalu, he had collected seven pages and only needed four more to complete it!
And the name of this page was actually [New World]!
The 9th page of the Book of Nalu - New World!
'The Wisdom God said that he saw the New World after destruction. Could that be the fake world I just experienced?'
Thinking of this, Marvin couldn't help sweating a bit.
If a world only had beautiful things, then would that world still be real?
No one knew the answer.
Marvin didn't rehash his thoughts about that since he had already considered it.
He solemnly wrote down the word "key".
Although he didn't know the meaning behind it, he had a feeling that this word contained very important information.
…
After obtaining a page of the Book of Nalu, Marvin's trip to the Sky Tower could already be considered worth the effort.
But he wouldn't relax before obtaining the Fate Tablet.
He went through the milky-white door, reaching a hall with a vaulted sky dome.
The hall was illuminated with candles, revealing a shadow standing in front of Marvin.
'Someone was faster than me?'
Marvin was a bit surprised to see this.
Marvin could tell that this person wasn't from inside the Sky Tower. His back was facing Marvin and it felt as if he was expecting Marvin's arrival.
The floor was made of transparent glass, letting Marvin easily see far into the distance.
Marvin threw a few glances and found out that from this hall, he could actually see the Divine Servants still in those transparent rooms.
They were still working on the stone tablet code!
But from their expressions, most of them wouldn't even be able to clear the 1st level!
At this time, the shadow slowly turned and smilingly said to Marvin, "Do you care about those mediocre people?"
"They and the Fate Tablet have no fate in common. It would be better to think about how you can get what you want from me and the other one."
Marvin looked at this man with some vigilance.
He had a very pale face and seemed somewhat familiar, but Marvin couldn't recall where he might have seen him before.
"The other one?" Marvin asked doubtfully.
The man laughed. "There are only three levels in the Sky Tower. For you to reach this point, you should have already passed two levels."
"The final level in the Ethereal Plane has only three spots. The two of us are already here, so there should only be one more."
"I know you. You have been thriving very well recently, Marvin Cridland. An average name, and an illustrious family name."
"As for me, let me introduce myself…"
"I am Yin."
