Chapter 1 Embark on a journey
Ethan pinched his throat, then took a sip of the water from the wooden spoon.
"There is only the last little water left. If I can't see the land or the next rain, I might become the first time traveler to die of thirst." Looking at the bucket that was already bottomless, Ethan felt that this way of death was too frustrating, and it simply lost all the face of the time traveler.
Put down the wooden spoon and cover the bucket, and stand again at the front of the boat, Ethan told himself in his heart, "There is no way out!", "Everything will be fine!", while standing straight, looking at the endless sea, hoping that something would appear at the end of his sight - anything is fine, as long as it is not the boundless sea water.
He raised his left hand and focused his energy. A light blue light suddenly appeared in the palm facing upwards, and then a blue translucent light ball appeared in Ethan's hand.
There is nothing strange about the light ball, but there is an arrow-like thing in the center pointing to the direction where the boat is sailing.
"I firmly believe that you are my golden finger, but don't cheat me..."
Looking back on the past few years since he came to this strange world, Ethan suddenly felt that it was really unreliable to pin his hopes on something he didn't even know what it was.
"In the future... we can't do such a stupid thing anymore... If there is still a future..."
Ethan, also called Ethan in his previous life, only the only difference is that his surname was Yi in his previous life, but when he came to this world, he didn't even have a surname, only a simple name: Ethan.
Ethan in his previous life was a very ordinary person. He was neither good nor bad in his studies nor bad in his life. He found a job that was neither profitable nor loss, and he lived a pretty good life.
I thought I had lived my whole life in such a dull state, but I didn't expect that an acute illness would cost him his life, and when he woke up, he had already arrived in this world.
Fortunately, he directly possessed a seriously ill boy, and fully accepted the boy's memory, learned the language of the world and some basic knowledge, allowing him to quickly integrate into the new world, and he was not discovered by the boy's father.
He grew up gradually under the raising of his new father, and in the past few years he also knew what kind of world this was.
A world full of sea water, with very few land, cannot raise too much population. Even if the ocean climate near the island is pleasant, rich in seafood, it has a limit.
In the past few years, Ethan had seen countless people leave everything to their children, and then took a boat alone to the completely unknown sea to find the legendary endless land - no one came back, Ethan himself had never seen it, nor had he heard of any examples of returning from a few old men.
Therefore, Ethan came to a conclusion: this is a small island that is backward and ignorant, following the simplest laws to continue life, and those who go out to sea just give the opportunity to survive to their descendants. The so-called endless land may be just an ordinary continent, but it is difficult to reach the ships of this island.
"They all died at sea."
Otherwise, there is no reason to have no examples of coming back. There can be no one who wants to take away his wife and children, right?
Ethan didn't know if this was the case, but when he was sixteen, his father fell seriously ill after returning from overseas and died after persisting for half a month.
In the following days, after Ethan fulfilled his obligations that his son should have fulfilled, he did not take over his father's work and "replace" into the most "popular" fishing fleet on the island. Instead, he found the boat that his father had already prepared quietly, and after being filled with supplies, he embarked on the journey to find "endless land".
In addition to his unwillingness to live his life in an ordinary life on a small island that is "behind the ignorance", he was the strange light ball pointer in his hand.
It took Ethan a full seven years to form when it gradually formed but flickered like it was disturbed. Now it can maintain the shape of the photosphere stably without any problems.
In these seven years, Ethan could see that it was a pointer, and the direction he pointed never changed, and he pointed to a fixed direction very firmly.
He was poisoned by many novels in his previous life, and Ethan felt that this was telling himself, "Leave that little island with no future, and a brighter future is waiting for you."
Going to sea, from being unfamiliar to becoming more proficient, the theoretical knowledge learned from my father gradually turned into practical skills. Although I would occasionally make some mistakes, fortunately this sea area is very gentle and there are no storms and storms, which gives this rookie enough time to improve his driving proficiency.
Especially as the three arrows of the light ball pointer on his hand became two, and now they have become one, and some of the troubles he encountered after going to sea seemed to have disappeared, he was increasingly looking forward to the treasure he was about to get.
Until... the clear water on the boat was about to run out, he finally realized that he was on the vast sea, and no one would come to save him. All his reliance was on this small boat less than ten meters long. If it weren't for clear water, he might not have lived for three days.
"Sure enough... I was an ordinary person in my previous life, how could I become the center of the world of the plane son? "
Looking at the extremely dry bucket that had been sunburned, Ethan completely calmed down.
"It's useless to be anxious. Now you are either looking forward to raining, or you can only hope for this pointer that doesn't know where to point."
Ethan, who was desperate, almost squeezed out all his potential, not only drove the boat very fast, but also used the few remaining fruits with moisture to maintain his body's needs.
In this way, he barely persevered for another five days, and just when he was about to hold on, Ethan discovered that the light ball pointer in his hand had finally changed.
Instead of continuing to point forward, he pointed firmly below.
“Arriving? Here?”
Putting off the sails and throwing the anchor, Ethan looked around with a blank look on his face. The scenery in his eyes did not change at all, and it was still an endless sea.
"Is it at the bottom of the sea?"
Her face became worse. Ethan lived on the island in this life and relied on the sea to make a living. Of course, the water quality was not bad, but he had never seen the land after sailing on the sea for so many days. Who knows how deep the sea is under his feet?
The only color that can be judged - very magical. After he has been driving for so long, the color of the sea water is still light blue with a little green. Although it means it is not a real deep sea, it is not something that a person can dive to the bottom without the help of any equipment.
"I've been cheated..."
He sighed helplessly.
"And I was directly cheated to death! I just don't know if I will give my life again this time?"
Ethan sat helplessly at the bow of the boat, wondering whether he would just jump down and fight. Maybe drowning would be a little better than thirsty?
With a random thought, Ethan raised his left hand again, and suddenly found a strange change in his hand.
Originally, there was nothing special about his left hand except to concentrate his mental energy on his left hand and summon the ball of light pointer, but this time, he found that there was a complex pattern on the back of his left hand.
"this……"
As the pattern became clearer, he could gradually see what it was.
"It looks like a magic circle?"
Just as the magic circle finally took shape and began to emit soft blue light, a mental force suddenly counterattacked from the left back and returned to his brain.
In an instant, Ethan suddenly understood what was going on with this thing.
"Hahaha, it turns out that Tian Wujue...cough cough cough..."
As expected, the man could not be too proud. Ethan, who was almost choked to death, no longer stood on the bow and posed for shape. Instead, he walked to the smoothest part of the middle of the boat, and then knelt on one knee and covered his left hand on the ground.
"I want to mobilize all my mental power... I am not in good condition now, and I don't know if it's enough."
Anyway, Ethan decided to try it first. If this fails, he might try it again with the last bit of food left. If he had a rest, his spirit that had been raised by surprise might have dissipated. He might not have time to hold on until then and die first.
"There is no choice at all, I'll fight!"
Ethan, who was desperate to gamble, sent all his mental power to his left hand. Year after year of practice made him do this with almost no difficulty.
The magic array, which received the attention of Ethan's mental power, became more and more dazzling, and finally burst out with dazzling light, and a magic array pattern exactly the same as on the back of his hand was also displayed on the "ground".
"It's done!"
Seeing the magic circle appear, Ethan knew that he had succeeded. The mental power fed back from the magic circle into his mind not only let him know the usage, but also the posture of the magic circle being successfully activated. Even the function of this magic circle "telled" Ethan.
Plane shuttle!
This is what this magic circle does.
Ethan, who has been educated by online writing, doesn’t need to think about what this means at all. Although there are still endless risks, he is almost thirsty and has no choice.
"No matter what, I won't be able to take me to a place where I can't even drink my saliva..."
Just as the light of the magic circle gradually engulfed Ethan and the teleportation was about to begin, Ethan suddenly felt dizzy, just like the feeling of weakness after fighting all night in school that year made him fall to the ground.
"I actually fell at the last moment... It's really bad..."
