This is a book so big that it seems to have no visible edges. After it was opened, it was imprinted from the upper world into the shadow world. At this moment, only the two opened pages of the book can be seen. In the corner thousands of miles away, Fang Xiu also saw the number 4589. Fang Xiu estimated that the number written on the other page is 4588, which is the page number of the book.
What was written on the book was not words, but a picture of a vast world. In this world painted on the pages of the book, Fang Xiu could see several continents, countless kingdoms, and all kinds of characters.
Looking from here, there is a line above the head of each character. Fang Xiu drove along the line. Above the clouds, it seemed as if he was out of the frame and the color painting stopped here.
The large blank space contains the person's name and life. Every detail is destined for everyone.
There are also white angels outside the pure white frame of the sea of clouds, pulling at the thread of everyone's fate, distorting and modifying their destinies.
This place is like a well-arranged stage, and everyone is performing their own stories according to the predetermined script.
And a god high above holds a pen in his hand, writing their fate, birth, old age, sickness and death, joys and sorrows, separations and reunions.
"Oh! Isn't this book The Age of Dragons over yet?" Wind Crow Rostjoel was obviously very familiar with the situation here. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said the name of this book that was imprinted in the shadow world, forming a strange country.
"Age of Dragons? Is this the name of this book? Isn't this the City of Destiny?" Fang Xiu asked.
Wind Crow Rostjoel: "That's right! This is the City of Destiny. The city of God built on the Book of Destiny is the real side, and the book and the Kingdom of Shadows below that are turning pages are the shadow side."
"The City of Destiny was also built by a Lord God, and he is an extremely powerful Lord God. He did not build his own world in multidimensional space and time like other Lord Gods, but created his own kingdom in the Shadow Realm."
"This is the Book of Destiny, or the World of Destiny. In each period, the Book of Destiny has a theme or title, which resets the world view and character stories. It has been called various names before, and it is currently called the Age of Dragons. I remember when I came here before, the pages of the book had just been turned, and the story had just begun."
"This is a fantasy kingdom imprinted in the shadow world. Every life is between illusion and reality. They don't live in the real world, but on the pages of a book. They are a symbol on the book, a stroke of paint. I guess when this Lord God created them, he must have referred to the real shadow life."
“In the world of books, the story has already been written, but the people in the book don’t know it. They fight, struggle and pursue hard, but the ending has already been determined at the moment the story takes shape.”
"It's all in vain! But no one can break free!"
Wind Crow Rostjoel looked at Fang Xiu and said, "This is fate!"
"What's the point of this?" Fang Xiu didn't quite understand. He built the Mountain and Sea Realm in order to explore the way to return to the Ninth Level in his own Earth time and space and create a system that belongs to his own time and space.
This City of Destiny looks like an old-fashioned drama. As the main god, he must have his own purpose in doing this. Fang Xiu believes that it should not be just to watch a boring farce about mortals.
Feng Ya nodded: "I heard that this Lord God wants to explore the mystery of fate. He calls himself the Lord of Fate and wants to explore the meaning of his own existence, including his own destiny."
Fang Xiu thought about it and said, "Is there really such a thing as destiny? Does he think that he is just like the characters in this book, with a string tied to his head and someone writing his destiny?"
Wind Crow Rostjoel chuckled at this time, deliberately pretending to be gloomy: "In Clock City and many other time and space, there are legends about the Creator."
"The wizards, arcanists, and gods have been fighting for so many years that their brains are about to burst out. It is said that there are also many conflicts between the time and space rulers of these schools."
"It is said that this is a tradition passed down from ancient times. Who knows what exists in this world? Even the Lord God may not be able to understand the ultimate secret of this world. What is hidden behind the endless time and space?"
Fang Xiu's face was heavy. He walked out of his own world. Only then did he realize how big the world was. After seeing enough scenery, he realized how insignificant and ignorant he was.
Perhaps this trip to Clock City will be a brand new beginning for me.
Thinking of this, Fang Xiu's expectations for Clock City became even higher. No matter what the result is, it will allow him to see the true side of this world, instead of hiding in his own well, cautiously spying on the outside world.
"The Age of Dragons! What kind of story does this tell?" Fang Xiu looked at the exquisitely painted color scroll and the turbulent world in the book.
Rostjoel the Wind Crow said, "It seems to be about the arrival of an evil dragon in the Kingdom of Ogulas on the Finni Continent. The royal city was burned to ashes overnight, and the era of evil dragon rule has arrived."
"Hehehe! After the evil dragon became king, he asked each province to offer a thousand beauties to fill his harem, captured a hundred thousand slaves to build his hanging gardens, launched the Renaissance for watching dramas, and created all kinds of novel toys. Then, alchemists appeared."
"Generation after generation of brave warriors have entered the Kingdom of Augras to launch rebellions or kill the dragon, but all have failed."
"Kill all the male heroes and train the female heroes to fill the harem."
"Do whatever you want! Do whatever you want!"
The Wind Crow looked particularly obscene and lascivious at this time, and naturally made that sharp and piercing sound, and also laughed loudly.
Fang Xiu was somewhat speechless. This was actually a novel with a bit of color. This Lord of Destiny really made Fang Xiu not know how to evaluate him.
At this time, the mythical floating city above passed through the shadows and arrived in front of Fang Xiu, opened the exit of the shadow world, and prepared to enter the multi-dimensional space and time.
The Star Realm merchant Hongyue seemed to be listening to the conversation between the two. At this time, he interrupted with a hint of sarcasm: "It is said that the evil dragon was played by a female true god. She wanted to experience the pleasure of being a man and a different life, but she paid a high price to buy the protagonist's position from the Lord of Destiny!"
After saying that, the mythical floating city broke away from the shadow world and disappeared in a ray of light.
Fang Xiu was left with a look of confusion on his face: "Can the protagonist of this book be bought?"
Rostjoel the Wind Crow said as a matter of course: "Of course, this is the feature of the City of Destiny. Here, you can buy the destiny and story you want and experience all kinds of crazy lives. Many wandering gods, wizards, and arcanists who pass by here will choose to seal their memories and experience some of the emotions and stories they want to experience."
At this moment, the huge book suddenly turned the pages, and the picture went through spring, summer, autumn and winter, and it seemed that each page was a story of a year.
Wind Crow Rostjoel also took the opportunity to open the exit of the Shadow Realm, took Fang Xiu out of the Shadow Realm, and set foot on the multi-dimensional space-time side of the City of Destiny.
