“Argh! My head hurts.” Julia grunted in pain as she put her hands on her head.
“We just got out of a freaking black hole. You should be glad that we get to keep our head.” Ely responded, but she was suffering from the same problem.
They also had severe headaches. It took them quite a while, especially Julia and Brian, to recover.
After Brian finally recovered, he curiously raised his head at the blue sky.
“Lily, please tell me we somehow ended up on earth.”
“Sir, we are not on earth. We have reached a planet with a similar atmosphere. My trackers are suggesting that we are currently at the inner core of the universe.”
“I do not have any information about planets and galaxies in this region of the universe. I am sorry, sir.” Lily answered.
“No, it’s not your fault. I never asked you to study the universe’s core since it takes a lot of energy. Since we are here, we must find a way to return. But first, let’s get familiar with this place.”
“Hey Brian, are you awake? Come and check this out!” Brian heard James’s voice from afar. He looked at his daughter, who had barely recovered. He lifted his daughter in his arms and walked toward James.
They were currently at the edge of a hill, so he was curious about where they could see.
When they reached the edge of the hill, Brian was stunned. The scene in front of him was breathtaking. The highest snow peak acted like a wall. A gigantic valley that stood in the middle of the giant hills.
The valley had people crawling around like ants. And, each one of them was different, not in a literal sense, though.
He saw humans, elves, dwarves, lizard men, goblins, humanoid dragons, demons, ogres, and many of whom he had never seen.
Not only were they all there, but all of them had kind of a peaceful relationship with each other. They were all coexisting in a single valley, after all.
“Where in the hell are we? Brian, are you serious that we didn’t die and reach heaven?” James patted his chest and asked with a shocked expression on his face
“I am pretty sure that we are not dead, but now, I began to doubt it. How could so many races live together in harmony and peace? I don’t understand.” Brian rubbed his head in confusion.
Even his brilliant mind couldn’t understand the situation of this place.
“Anyway, we should go there. I am really curious about this place. They don’t seem like people who would try to kill us. So, hopefully, we can learn more about them.” James suggested as he pointed to a path designed to go toward the valley.
“Wow! Daddy, what kind of place are we in?” Suddenly, Julia’s voice rang in his ears.
“Oh! Is your headache gone, sweetheart?” Brian asked instead of answering her question.
“Yes, daddy, it is gone. Anyway, which galaxy are we in?” Julia asked.
“I don’t know much. We are at the core of the universe. That’s all I know. Let’s go down and settle with these people before finding a way to return to the earth.” Brian answered.
Everyone nodded their heads, and they finally walked into that path. Brian looked at Julia and asked, “Do you think those golems will find the spaceship?”
Julia shook her head and said, “Maybe Dragon Lord could find it, but others can’t see through its camouflage. And, as soon as someone enters the spaceship, I will get notified no matter where we are, and I can destroy it with a single command.”
Brian rubbed her head and said, “That’s my girl!”
“Always put the self-destruction sequence in the device you create. You stated this as the main rule in your personal dairy.” Julia cutely smiled as she answered.
“Anyway, didn’t your headache disappear? Why are you still in daddy’s arms?” Ely spoke with jealousy. Unlike Julia, she was big and strong. So, she couldn’t ask Brian to lift her.
But, she also wanted that feeling. She loved it no matter how much she had grown.
“Ahh! My head hurts. I can’t walk.” Julia tried acting as she put her arms around his neck and her head on his shoulder.
“Humph!” Ely snorted, seeing her little sister acting spoiled.
On the other hand, Brian didn’t think too much and let them bicker with each other. But halfway through, Brian got tired and put down Julia.
He didn’t use GMD since he had to save charge as much as possible in case of emergency.
After a few hours, they finally reached the front of the valley. It was pretty much open with no gates whatsoever. They saw countless people walking around.
But, they quickly noticed something. The clothes they were wearing seemed quite different than other people. These people were wearing formal pants and shirts.
Even women were wearing less revealing clothes. It honestly looked like the medieval age in Europe. But, there was more to it. There was a demeanor in their actions.
Even while walking, they barely touched each other, even though thousands of people were nearby. And, at this position, there was no one standing still.
Everyone was moving around. The more they walked toward the middle of the valley, the fewer people they saw walking around. They found high buildings at the bottom of each hill where many people were walking.
They finally found a place where they could stop. It was at the nearby area in the center of the valley. Even though they had been walking for like fifteen hours, the sun above them didn’t even move.
And the reason was pretty simple. Time here moved a lot slower than on their earth. Of course, it wasn’t in the literal sense, but since Time is just an imaginary concept, they had the habit of counting time based on earth’s passage of time.
But here, the passage of time is different. But of course, people living here seemed quite the same.
“So, how will we get the information about this place?” James asked as he looked at Brian.
“Maybe we should talk to some people.” Brian mumbled, but before moving, he heard a voice from behind.
“Hello, may I help you?”
They all turned around and saw a woman standing behind them. She was wearing a green dress that covered her entire body. She had brown hair and brown eyes with lizard skin on her body.
“We would be very grateful. It is our first time in this valley. So, we don’t know much about this place. And, I have to be honest. I have never seen so many races living together in the same place.” Brian politely smiled and asked.
“I noticed. Please come with me!” The woman smiled as she took them into a building. It was a restaurant, but before going in, Brian got embarrassed and asked.
“Actually, we don’t have any money with us. So, it wouldn’t be a good idea to go there. Sorry for bothering you.”
They were almost ready to leave when the woman stopped them and said. “Please don’t doubt our hospitality. We have been maintaining harmony and peace through kindness for millions of years. It would be my treat. Helping others always gives you good karma.”
Hearing her words, Brian and others paused for a moment, unable to decide whether to follow or not. It could be a trap, but at the same time, they felt guilty for having such thoughts.
After a while, they finally decided to follow her. She booked a small separate room for them, and they sat down while ordering the food.
After that, The woman looked at them and smiled.
“My name is Zila. This is Red Vermillion City.”
Brian nodded his head and introduced his group.
“My name is Brian. His name is James. These two are my daughters. The eldest one is Elenor, and the youngest one is Julia. Thanks for helping us out!”
“It’s no big deal. We love to keep the peace and prosperity in our world. By the way, did you come from another universe?” Zila asked.
Hearing her question, Brian was pretty shocked as he asked, “How did you know?”
“Well, even if it is the weakest person in our world, they still cultivate Primordial Energy. But, the energy inside your cells is quite a low level. So, I can only assume that you are from another universe.”
“How did you come here? Your strength doesn’t seem that great. I am really curious. How did you get here?” Zila excitedly asked.
Brian finally understood why she suddenly invited them for the food. While it was clear that she wanted to show goodwill, she was also a curious person.
“It was an accident. I can’t disclose the method we used to come here, but you can believe us that it was a pure accident. Anyway, which universe is this?”
Zila chuckled “No wonder you managed to enter our universe. It is isolated by our great god and thus nobody can normally leave or enter our universe. Our universe’s name is Primordial Universe.”
“It is also known as the home of ‘Invincible Race’.”
Tink!
Suddenly, James dropped the spoon he was holding.
