Chapter 2681 - The Silver Fox Maiden
Due to the length limitation of the interdimensional line, Tianming had to give up flying toward the sea of order. "The interdimensional line is still attached to me, which means this continent belongs to the Xenoworld.... Is it situated between the Xenoworld and the sea of order?" He remembered hearing that the ordered sea was above the Xenoworld.
"I didn't expect there to be a world here that’s similar to the human realm. Is Qingyu somewhere nearby?" He no longer hesitated. This time, he had brought all his lifebound beasts. Currently, Ying Huo was perched on his shoulder, looking around.
Most of Yin Chen was still searching on the Sun for the ancestral world monster and the remnants of the Exterminatus Army. So this time, Tianming had only brought a billion little silver eggs. Without any prompting, an endless stream of silver surged from his body, turning into invisible cockroaches that spread out into the mountains, rivers, and forests. Everything in this world was massive. For example, after he had descended, he’d felt like he was standing in the midst of a yellowish ocean of rocks. But for the large life forms of this world, it might just be a desert.
The continent Tianming was standing on was an endless landmass that felt even larger than Ebonia!
A billion Yin Chens scattered out like gravel sinking into the ocean. Their presence was silent, creating no disturbances. Tianming chose a direction where he could see a relatively flat area and rushed in that direction.
Currently, everything seemed mysterious. Thus, he didn't allow Lan Huang and the others to come out, leaving only Ying Huo, who could change its size, to explore with him. He flew over the ocean of rocks.
"Whether it's Ebonia or Gladeus, due to the proliferation of countless lifeforms, there’s all kinds of formations everywhere. Every brick and tile has one! But in this world, there’s absolutely no traces of any formations. Obviously, not many people are here." Even so, he found the presence of divine patterns on the rocks and trees, some of which formed natural formations and became top-class ores and herbs.
Tianming walked for a while but didn't find any traces of Qingyu. However, Yin Chen suddenly said, "Over there... a giant."
A giant? "Danger level?"
"An ordinary... astral god," Yin Chen replied.
"Bring me there." Tianming guessed that this giant should be a specter. After becoming stellaminors, specters would increase in size like lifebound beasts, becoming giants, and their bodies would grow much stronger.
From that point on, like Ying Huo, their massive form was their true form. Of course, they could also do as Ying Huo did, compressing the distance between astrons and shrinking their bodies. However, it would result in a decrease in strength and a reduction in their physical advantages, making them uncomfortable.
Ying Huo's true form was more powerful, but when it shrank, its agility and speed increased. But Tianming knew that the enlargement of the specter's form was different from beings like Huang Qi, the astral giant. Huang Qi felt like a condensation of a star domain, and her apparent height of a kilometer might be the result of already being shrunk, with each giant astron compressed to the utmost.
Specters were composed of astrons that still appeared like flesh and blood, whereas an astral giant was entirely like stars, no longer belonging to humanity. Tianming could only speculate that when astral gods refined themselves to the extreme, the next step in embodying the universe would be becoming an astral giant!
Tianming wasn't afraid of an ordinary astral god. He urgently wanted to meet the locals to understand the situation here and learn about Qingyu, Lingfeng, and the whereabouts of the sixth Primordial Chaos Beast!
He increased his speed. Yin Chen couldn’t spread very quickly, which meant the giant wasn't too far away. After passing many tall mountains, Tianming finally saw the giant that Yin Chen had mentioned.
"Wow!"
Looking ahead, there was a giant humanoid creature standing in a sea of blue, and Tianming was still some distance away from it. He had to crane his neck to see it properly. Of course, while it was enormous, it didn't appear out of place in this world. Rather, the giant perfectly blended in, and it was Tianming that was tiny.
He was used to lifebound beasts and wildbeasts being very large, but a giant humanoid was a bit unsettling to him.
In appearance, the giant was a young girl dressed in plain clothes. She had long silver hair that cascaded like a waterfall, and between the long hair, one could see a pair of fuzzy ears, resembling those of a fox. Although she was huge, her overall appearance was harmonious, exceptionally agile, and cute. Especially endearing were her fox ears and large, bright eyes.
"She's indeed a specter!" Tianming didn't know what level she was at, but her face appeared relatively youthful and she didn't exude a strong sense of danger. She should be within a manageable range for him.
The silver fox maiden seemed to have something on her mind. She furrowed her brows as she walked through the ‘sea’, splashing water in every direction. Of course, they were just small water droplets to her.
After observing for a while, Tianming took a deep breath and boldly approached. "Hello, Miss."
"Who's there?"
The silver fox maiden turned her head, and even her fingers, which seemed tiny to her, were longer than Tianming. She instinctively thought he was at her eye level but looked around and found no one.
"I'm here." Tianming raised his voice and waved his hand while flying a bit higher.
The silver fox maiden finally spotted him. "An outworlder?" Her eyes twitched, and she was slightly surprised. She took two steps back.
"Don't worry, I mean no harm. I accidentally ended up here and I'm very lost right now. May I ask your name, Miss? Could you help me understand this place?" Tianming gently asked.
His attitude was good, and the silver fox maiden hesitated. She looked at him for a while before finally pursing her lips and asking, "Are you sure you aren’t here to cause trouble?"
"Absolutely sure," Tianming replied with a smile.
"Alright, Little Big Brother, I'm Beibei." The silver fox maiden crouched down, looking at the tiny figure floating in the air, and she couldn't help but extend her hand, allowing Tianming to stand on her palm.
"Hello, Miss Beibei. I'm Tianming.”
"Big Brother Tianming." Beibei blinked, curiously saying, "I've heard of the existence of outworlders, but it's my first time seeing one in person!"
"What's an outworlder?" Tianming asked.
"Outworlders are those who come from a different world. They have ropes tied to their feet, mysteriously come and go, and are completely different from us. Most of them are very small, but there’s also specters like us," Beibei obediently said.
"Ropes tied to their feet?" That meant that many people had been here over the years! Tianming decided to start from the beginning, so he asked, "Miss Beibei, could you please tell me where this place is?"
