"Chris, what's outside our world?"

"I don't know, Dechimus, I never thought about this."

1999, 20 years ago in autumn, night.

The black-haired girl sat on the grass slope of the hills in rural America, pulling the weeds beside her while perfunctorily evading the boy's enthusiasm.

The boy was lying on the grass, and he was now staring at the starry sky above his head: the cloudless night sky was like an endless wall, which spread endlessly to the left and right, and the endless black wall was covered with stars of light.

A brilliant Milky Way composed of countless starlight extends from the left side of the field of view to the end of the right side, making anyone who is watching it unable to help but unfold his endless imagination of the distance.

"The outside of the world is another world."

The boy who had just read some popular science books for astronomical lessons said as if he was showing off, which attracted the girl who had read it: "What, it's obviously a star? The book says that the earth is a planet, and other stars are the same as the earth."

"It's all the same, other planets are also other worlds, and they're very different from the Earth."

When he sat up from the grass, the boy named Dechimus still did not look away. He still looked up at the stars and did not notice the slightly annoyed expression of the girl beside him: "It is said that in those places, there are red land, black plants, and all kinds of strange but powerful beasts like mushrooms... There is no air or water, and humans cannot live at all!"

"What's there to be happy about this? And who told you that there will be beasts on alien planets?"

The girl named Chris subconsciously pulled off the weeds, and read books more seriously than the boy. She replied helplessly: "There are not only no humans, but nothing, it is a deserted rocky desert, and there will be no life!"

"Because of curiosity! We need water and oxygen, but there aren't on those planets. Don't you think it's strange?"

The boy obviously didn't care about the girl's complaints. His eyes were shining at this moment, reflecting the light of the stars in the sky: "If we humans cannot survive there, then what is the meaning of these stars and the world?"

The girl was stunned. Her thinking was obviously not as free as the boy. The girl, who was just ten years old, was even surrounded by it and began to think hard: "Yes, yes... why do planets that we humans cannot live in exist? What is their meaning..."

Because I was too young, such a problem that no adult would be confused, really made the intelligent girl feel confused.

But then, the boy's passionate answer interrupted her thoughts.

"It's exploration!"

Standing up, the boy spread his arms towards the sea of ​​stars in the sky.

The tone of this child with brown hair and blue eyes is full of heat, confidence, and a unique belief of young children: "Those stars are left for us to explore!"

"Not only that, the entire starry sky and all worlds were born for us to explore!"

"...Hmph, I'm the only one who is willing to accompany you to think about these things all day long."

At first, she was a little surprised, but soon, the girl who reacted lowered her head, stared at the weeds that had been twisted and pulled out by herself, and then raised her up and looked at the starry sky with the boy.

After a while, the girl's voice sounded softly: "Hey, Dechimus..."

"What do you want to do when you grow up?"

“I want to be an explorer!”

The boy's answer was clear and thoughtless, as if he had already thought about it: "Discover the New World of America like Columbus, and discover new planets and worlds!"

"Is that... it's so good, I want to do it too."

Hearing this answer, the girl showed an expression of "I knew it for a long time."

But this time, she did not complain about the other party’s strange dreams as she usually did, but instead said to herself in a sense of loss: “But I can’t do it, the dessert shop at home is still waiting for me… I can only be a dessert chef.”

Said this, the girl shook her head, patted her face and cheered herself up:

"But it's okay. When you grow up, I'll make you dessert when you come back from the adventure."

It was not until this time that the boy noticed that his friend's tone was a little lonely and sad than usual.

He turned his head in surprise and looked at the girl beside him.

He grinned and said, "What are you thinking about? Chris, I will take you together then!"

The American countryside before the new century was always like this: boundless wheat fields, scattered farms, old towns that have remained unchanged for decades, and the troublesome family and interpersonal relationships.

To live here, you must be prepared to live here for the rest of your life. People who leave here rarely come back. The slightest bit of the bustling city is enough to attract the full attention of young people.

The wind blew, feeling the tranquility. The towering grain storage tower was shining by the moonlight, bringing long shadows. The boys and girls on the hills were bathed in the stars. They talked about topics about the future, told each other about their ideals and wishes, and then smiled and fell asleep.

Twenty years later.

2019, summer, evening.

Decimus, who returned to his hometown, once again stood on the hill imprinted in his heart. The silent man carrying the package stared at the hillside that seemed to have not changed in front of him, and couldn't help but recall the beautiful memories of the past.

But this time, he was alone.

As the pioneer of the ‘explorer’.

It seems that a long time has passed outside the distant world, but for my mother world and hometown, it is only a mere five years.

Five years are enough to make a small town boy who has never studied any extraordinary power, even before, become a demigod who can be called a "strong man" in most worlds.

"Has the earth revived its spiritual energy... Well, it's not surprising, after all, the earth is also one of many worlds."

Like in childhood, Decimus sat on the familiar hillside. He put down the package in his hand and closed his eyes: "Think about it carefully, I have always wanted to explore outside the world, but I have never calmed down to explore my hometown."

"What's the secret in my hometown? I haven't thought about this at all."

The peak of the commander level is only one step away from the overlord level. Before the spiritual energy is revived, he is inspired, leaving the earth, and exploring in the multiverse, breathing deeply and feeling the smell of his hometown.

Then, silence.

...This is a cliché story.

Boys and girls who grew up have become family members of the pioneer space.

They first parted, then charged, first sad, then excited, angry, fighting, and finally reconciled.

People who long to explore the distance move forward hand in hand, and they move forward clumsyly in the unknown darkness.

Walk slowly on the wire of danger and fun forged, and step on the single-plank bridge over the torrent of fate and nothingness.

Everything is just for the other worlds that boys and girls mentioned in childhood, and the light far away.

Dancing with crisis and running in parallel with death.

During that time, their lives were indeed extremely wonderful and radiated endless brilliance - people who are different from ordinary people can only live out their own taste under the protection of great existence.

Until one of the most difficult tasks of the entire pioneer space, the "Original Realm Exploration" interrupted the two of them.

The higher world, the prototype of the ‘Land of Skylight’, is located at the ultimate world at the highest point in this genealogical world, ‘Land of Creation’…

Decimus and Chris, who entered it, knew the dangers of this world well. After entering this world, they hid their names and explored their edges in the most cautious way, and everything puts safety first.

But even so, in the face of the ten major forces in the Creation World and the ten "cosmic divine systems", the information of these "landbreakers" was soon mastered.

They seem to have a huge net, a super network spreading across the starry sky. As long as there are existences from outside entering their domain, they can instantly detect it.

Then... it is to pursue, escape, fight, continue to flee, then fail, and be forced to return.

The process of explorers exploring the world is indeed full of passion and romance, but it is not always smooth sailing. Even if the pioneer space has set up various preferential policies and even protective measures for its explorers, it will occasionally fail when facing those too powerful "indigenous people".

In the final return, in order to protect the seriously injured Decimus, Chris chose to face the pursuers of the "Cosmic God System" alone and buy time for the final teleportation of the pioneer space.

She succeeded - when both of them were about to be captured by the universe's gods, Pioneer Space took the lead in starting teleportation and pulled her family back to Pioneer Space.

However, the universe's divine system is really too powerful.

The strong ones among them took action and stopped all movements in their positions - particles, waves, spiritual energy, time and space, and everything else that exists or does not exist. Everything is covered by absolute stillness, and time stops here.

Of course, such extremely powerful magical skills cannot prevent the return of Pioneer Space from being completely activated. Decimus successfully returned to Pioneer Space.

However, because of the palace, Chris, who was one step slower, was completely hit by the magical skill that stopped at time, turned into time amber, and was taken away by the universe gods for analysis and research.

No one can break the protective shield of his family when teleporting. It is equivalent to wrestling a great existence with a great existence. Even if it is used to use a black hole, it will definitely be a black hole.

But there is no need to confront the explorer head-on. There are too many ways to keep the explorer in place.

Then, seal, imprison.

The power of the original world is so incredible, it is the ultimate goal of all explorers, the world world with passion.

But now, he no longer has this enthusiasm.

Time passed, and when the sunset dimmed, the red sun fell into the mountains at the other end of the sky, and darkness once again spread to the sky, making the stars shine, I heard the man's "firm" self-talk like twenty years ago.

"Chris...I will definitely save you."

Standing up, Decimus's mood had calmed down.

Next he had a very important thing to do, that is, find Chris's family and get their blood.

This is very difficult for ordinary people, but for a demigod wizard, it is just a small matter in one thought. But the problem is that Chris's family moved out of the town three years ago, and no one knows where they are located.

After all, the incident of their daughter elopement with a poor boy whose relatives died has indeed made them look dull.

The poor boy back then, the current demigod Decimus, didn't care about their thoughts, but he did need the blood of these Chris' relatives as props for divination, to find the location of his lover who is now imprisoned in another world.

"I don't know what the situation is on the earth... The technological progress in the past five years seems to be great? Even my hometown has a projection light curtain, and it seems that everyone can have one or two spells?"

Already ready to take action, Dechimus' mind appeared in his mind, although all kinds of strange encounters that he encountered since he returned to Earth, but he had ignored it because he was too anxious before, which made him quite puzzled: "This has the basic conditions for the high demon world!"

"But it's not surprising, after all, Gaomo Hi-Tech is only a line of separation."

Although I discovered these strange places, the man didn't care too much.

Even if Lakong is in the world of high demons, his strength will not be unobstructed, at least he will not encounter any really particularly difficult problems.
