Chapter 810 542: The First Journey
"But my family is poor. We don't have the funds for me to go to Ice Blade and achieve my dream. Plus, the crater at Ice Blade is often erupting unpredictably, so even if I had the money, it might not be possible. That's why my dream is just to take a photo there!"
When Ning Rou said this, all the audience members were stunned.
Damn it, can't you save that idea for another time?
Such a good opportunity, and you want to waste it on this? Truly, a girl's thoughts are dreamy and bizarre, impossible to predict with common logic.
Contrarily, Xia Liang nodded.
"Alright, then write down your thoughts on this scroll and see if it brings you a miracle!"
Ning Rou quickly nodded.
"Uh-huh, okay."
Then she picked up a special pen from the table and wrote down her thoughts on the scroll. After writing, she set the pen aside, and Xia Liang smiled and said,
"Alright, you can return to your seat now. Next, let's witness the realization of your dream together."
Ning Rou nodded excitedly, and then, guided by security, returned to her seat.
When Ning Rou was back in her seat, Xia Liang extended his right hand and gently pressed it on one point of the scroll.
There are a total of five points on the scroll, representing five places one can travel to.
When Xia Liang's finger touched that point, he felt a strange force erupt from the scroll.
Immediately, the entire venue began to shake, and from the scroll as the center, a mysterious and unfathomable power exploded, swiftly enveloping the entire venue.
Then the surrounding environment began to undergo eerie changes, most notably the sky's colors turned abnormal.
It was deep night, and the sky was black, without a trace of starlight due to the winter season. But now, some people saw the night sky changing, with stars appearing and disappearing.
At the same time, everyone around was shrouded in a faint glow, as were their seats, the ground, and the surrounding environment, giving off a surreal, almost transparent feeling.
This scene left everyone present in shock.
"What the hell? What's happening? My chair has become unreal, did you all notice that?"
"Mine too! This isn't an illusion; it's really happening. Oh my God, am I really starting to time travel?"
"This must be fake. Surely, they coated the seats with some special luminous material, that's why this phenomenon is happening."
Countless people were frightened by the abnormal signs in front of them, and they looked around in panic.
Xia Liang was the calmest in the whole venue, as his right index finger remained on that point of the scroll.
According to the Space-Time Scroll's instructions, once time travel begins, Xia Liang's finger must not leave the scroll. If it does, the travel fails and ends.
This process did not last long, only a few minutes before it ended.
Yet everyone on site felt dreamlike and surreal. As the surrounding tremors ceased, they were amazed to find an unusual bright light appearing around them.
The light came from below their feet; some people curiously looked down, almost jumping out of their chairs in shock at what they saw.
"Whoa, is this a crater? Oh my God, I'm sitting on a crater, I'm going to go crazy!"
"I'm really sitting on a crater; it's so magical!"
"I can see the magma moving below the volcano. We won't just fall in, right?"
"This is a real crater, but I don't feel any heat at all! This glow around us must be providing protection."
"We traveled, we really traveled, it's unbelievable!"
"Look at the sky quickly!"
Not only were they sitting on a crater, but the sky had also changed colors at this moment.
It was no longer pitch black but flashed with intense green light, the northern lights of Ice Blade.
At this moment, Ning Rou on her seat was so shocked her eyes almost popped out. She excitedly wanted to stand up, but remembering Xia Liang's instructions, she restrained herself.
Actually, many people on site wanted to stand up, but their bodies seemed bound by some energy, and they couldn't stand or perform any actions, as if they were pinned to their seats.
After calming down, including Ning Rou, many quickly took out their phones to take photos and record videos, trying to capture this miraculous moment.
Just then, the crater beneath everyone, like the mouth of a giant beast about to devour, suddenly opened wide, spewing forth waves of heat and magma.
The magma, wrapped in a terrifying force, came rushing at the crater's crowd.
Everyone screamed in fear, for they were seated on the crater, and if the magma sprayed over them, it would burn them to ashes.
Though everyone knew their bodies were coated in the glow, supposedly providing absolute protection.
However, in such an environment, they couldn't help but scream in terror.
Rumble...
A series of dull roars erupted from the crater. Since the volcano was shaped like an upside-down funnel, the momentum of the magma eruption multiplied as it approached the crater top, like a giant beast's deafening roar.
The terrifying magma, fiery red, formed a wave of red ocean, pouring out toward the crater.
Countless people trembled with fear in such a scene, their legs shaking, and some even wet themselves.
After all, this kind of spectacle might be cool to see on TV, but experiencing it firsthand was overwhelming for most people.
Finally, the scorching magma ocean rushed out of the crater, lunging toward countless spectators, causing many to shut their eyes in fear.
However, the magma did not touch anyone's body.
The stadium's more than ten thousand spectators seemed to be covered by a transparent protective shield, unmoved by the magma's pounding and washing.
Soon someone noticed this and they cheered in excitement.
"Damn, this is amazing! The magma can't reach us. I can't even feel its heat!"
