Chapter 2568: Chapter 1165: Paradise God
The starry small boat carried Lin Baici and Fang Mingyuan, soaring into the sky.
"Damn, is Old Fang crazy?"
Zhang Zhixu was shocked.
"What is Fang Mingyuan doing?"
Liu Zilu was furious: "He’s just an ordinary person, he can’t even defeat those puppet monsters, is he going up there to get himself killed?"
"He absolutely doesn’t have the strength, you know?"
"He’s simply just dragging us down."
Liu Zilu wished he could fly up and drag Fang Mingyuan back down.
Ji Xinyan and Hua Yue Yu looked serious, knowing Lin Baici’s character, he would definitely protect Fang Mingyuan, this was trouble.
"Mingyuan wants a life he desires!"
Qian Jiahui sighed.
He had long since decided to take it easy, living a life freeloading, because the more he worked hard, the faster the family fortune might dwindle.
The task his dad gave him was to have more kids, hoping to pick out one relatively outstanding, which is why, when his girlfriend got pregnant, he didn’t insist on an abortion.
This is the only contribution Qian Jiahui felt he could make to his family, so seeing Lin Baici and Fang Mingyuan going off to fight the BOSS, he was envious.
Soon, the small boat disappeared into the clouds.
...
Up high, the air currents surged, making Fang Mingyuan’s face hurt.
He held onto the boat rails tightly, afraid he might be thrown off.
Lin Baici glanced down to the ground.
They were already so high up!
The small boat climbed steeply like a rocket, and after breaking through several layers of clouds, it suddenly started to fall.
Bang!
The small boat landed on a sea of white clouds.
"Wow, it’s really beautiful!"
Fang Mingyuan’s eyes widened.
Surrounded by a tranquil, peaceful sea of white clouds, it felt like heaven itself, and in the distance, a few mountain peaks were faintly visible.
Lin Baici scanned the surroundings, his gaze landing on a fairy tale-like Gothic building at three o’clock.
The small boat slowly drifted over.
Behind it, the cloud sea parted like waves.
Fang Mingyuan reached out to touch the clouds but hesitated: "What a pity, if only phones worked here!"
Seeing Lin Baici unfazed, Fang Mingyuan couldn’t help but marvel: "You God Hunters must see stunning scenery often, right?"
"So envious!"
In various God’s ruins, Lin Baici had indeed seen many magnificent sights, which might be the sole benefit of these places.
Ten minutes later, the small boat stopped at a small pier on the right side of the building.
"Dream Theater?"
Fang Mingyuan looked at the large words on the building, composed of starlight, shining brilliantly.
"You should stay here, alright?"
Lin Baici disembarked, advising.
"I’ve come all this way, staying here would be a joke, wouldn’t it?"
Fang Mingyuan took a deep breath, feeling suffocated, likely due to the thin air here.
"Once we’re inside, don’t worry about me,"
Fang Mingyuan was prepared to die.
Seeing Fang Mingyuan’s resolve, Lin Baici didn’t argue further, stepping onto the white shell-paved steps, heading towards the grand entrance.
Ding ding dong dong!
These steps were like pianos, as Lin Baici and Fang Mingyuan stepped on them, each step produced a musical note.
In sequence, they naturally formed a melody.
Fang Mingyuan suddenly felt sleepy, eyelids drooping, wanting a nap.
Lin Baici remained unfazed, but seeing Fang Mingyuan’s state, he knew pollution was manifesting.
"Mingyuan!"
Lin Baici called out, seeing no response, he quickly carried him, leaping over ten steps at a time, charging towards the main entrance.
He planned to be cautious, observing first, but there was no time now.
[This staircase is called the Fairy Tale Dream Stairs, as you step on them, the sounds emitted are notes of a fairy tale, leading them into the kingdom of fairy tale dreams, indulging in their most anticipated, sweetest dreams, never to wake again!]
The way to exempt oneself is to step on as few stairs as possible, avoiding notes, or having a steely will, immune to all enticements.
With Lin Baici’s current will, such rule-based pollution couldn’t possibly affect him.
He effortlessly crossed the Dream Stairs.
"Mingyuan?"
"Old Fang?"
Seeing Fang Mingyuan unresponsive, Lin Baici had no choice but to pinch him awake.
After three or four minutes of effort, Fang Mingyuan finally woke up.
"Old White?"
Fang Mingyuan groggily asked, "Why are you suddenly back in the dorm?"
"We’re in God’s ruins now!"
To wake Fang Mingyuan quickly, Lin Baici suddenly yanked out a few strands of his hair.
"Ouch!"
Fang Mingyuan winced, instinctively covering his head, then as he looked at the cloud sea and the grand door adorned with golden fairy tale murals, he finally remembered.
He was with Old White, going to defeat the final boss.
"Old White..."
Fang Mingyuan felt extremely embarrassed; if it weren’t for Lin Baici, he would’ve been dead before even attempting the mission.
"Don’t go further!"
Lin Baici patted Fang Mingyuan’s shoulder, then got up and moved towards the door.
Fang Mingyuan hesitated briefly, but still followed: "At crucial moments, I’ll be your cannon fodder!"
The main door was tightly shut.
Fang Mingyuan quickened his pace, overtaking Lin Baici to push the door, but it didn’t budge.
"Looks like we need a key!"
Fang Mingyuan rubbed his chin, carefully observing, searching for the keyhole.
Finding the keyhole first, he could then deduce the size and shape of the key.
"It’s not a key!"
Lin Baici looked up at the twelve-meter-high door.
The murals above were composed of square blocks, each side two decimeters long, many parts were disordered.
Following Lin Baici’s line of sight, Fang Mingyuan saw: "This is... a puzzle game?"
"Move those disordered parts to the correct positions to form a complete fairy tale mural, and this door should open!"
