Clouds surrounded the Floating-Space Tower above the sky.
In the hall at the highest floor of the Mechanical Clock Tower, human beings, dwarfs and goblins gathered together. The magic sparked by Magic Crystal shrouded the Magic Crystal Network and shuttled around all corners of the hall. In the center, a magnificent gate like the gate of heaven stood in the center, as tall as 20 meters; it looked like a Titan’s gate.
And now standing in front of that huge portal were four trolls, they were all professionals, Level Four Troll Warlocks. This was the first time that the Wizard Alliance was about to directly transmit the professionals, instead of using soul witchcraft for element projection or possessed their souls into alchemy dolls and then transmitted them over as before.
They didn’t have the enhancement of rules, which was akin to cheating, used by The God of Space and Exploration; they explored their own ways of creating a stable portal to transmit life forms. And it took them hundreds of years and generations of elite alchemy warlocks’ wisdom.
Colin was a silly troll. He was a Level Four Blood Warlock and was dressed in elemental armor; he was strong and had supernatural blood ability. On the battlefield, he was definitely the strongest fighter. He was from the Dual-Headed Troll Kingdom of the Titan Continent. During the period of founding the kingdom, those dual-headed Blood Warlocks were having two supernatural blood abilities at the same time. By virtue of such strong innate aptitude, they led the army on the Titan Continent, and set up a new kingdom belonged to the Troll.
In the time of territorial and resource disputes, Troll warriors were the most important fighting force in the battle between wizard schools in Wizard Continent; each and every one of them was strong enough to achieve victory even when fighting alone.
They could carry Annihilation Elemental Artillery and heavy firepower on their bodies; they could ignore and fight against opponent’s ordinary witchcraft and dart into the opponent’s camp. They could descend from airship and quickly join the battlefield. They were definitely the highly favored and high-quality soldiers of all forces.
But with the advance of the times, with the emergence of Floating-Space Tower, more and more advanced weapons, moving castles, war fortresses, Magical Elemental Airship, the Wizard Alliance needed more elite wizards who could manipulate those war alchemy props. They didn’t need the brutal human shields like trolls’ Blood Warlocks; the status of trolls in the society was lowered. When they didn’t assume a significant role in battle, it looked like they weren’t useful anymore.
Goblins and dwarfs emerged from the system of alchemy warlock as well as from the creation of colossus and alchemy dolls; they had become an important member of the Wizard Alliance.
The goblins joined Arcane Kingdom and became part of Arcane Kingdom. The long-lived race of goblins was very similar to the goblins in some ways. The system of the goblins’ arcane system was suitable for them too. Especially their Ancient Tree of Fairies and goblins’ arcane system were just as if they were specially designed and built for the long-lived race of goblins.
Hence, when Arcane Kingdom was roping in several kingdoms of goblins, they instantly joined them. Of course, a large number of goblins still stayed in the Wizard Alliance. Their natural wizard abilities were also very vital to the wizards. In Arcane Kingdom, there were also huge quantity of dwarfs and goblins. The Arcane Kingdom also needed elite alchemy warlocks and craftsmen of dwarfs and goblins.
That was the current overall situation of Starsoul World. The only difference was that the Trolls, their sense of existence, were getting lower and lower in that world. The silly trolls who didn’t have any ability to create were unable to keep up with the pace of the world; they were gradually abandoned. They were gradually reduced to the lowest worth of the world.
Wizard Alliance was a relatively fair and open civilization, but absolute fairness was impossible, especially in that world of saints; fairness was won by a person’s own strength.
In the dangerous test of the portal, the Mechanical Clock Tower had tested with animals, ordinary creatures and humans, and now they were using the Troll Professionals because they were at the lowest ranking in the occupation of various professionals.
“The charge is complete!” The wizard in charge of the mana pool’s energy control shouted loudly.
“Space Anchored! Coordinates are determined!” The goblin alchemy warlock sat at the bottom, on the console not far from the portal, he informed that the preparations had been completed.
“The wave of Space Fluctuation and Elemental Wave are normal!” The human wizard who was in charge of detecting data in the bitwall looked at Cook Bay, the tower master of the Mechanical Clock Tower, he was the only Level Seven Mythical Wizard of the goblins. All of the goblins thought of him like an existence of god.
“Open the portal!” Cook Bay looked unchanged from a thousand years ago; he had a small body but stamped with a pair of determined and wise eye. He was still seeking for the limits of alchemy and exploring the ultimate meaning of the role of an alchemy warlock unique to him.
No one could have imagined that such a small, somewhat ugly and funny-looking fellow could found the real era of alchemy; he created Floating-Space Tower, established Magic Crystal System, and perfected the technology of portal.
With a command from Cook Bay, a translucent whirlpool appeared in the huge portal, and the brilliance was glowing and illuminating the entire hall, the brightness even radiated out the window and to the outside
“It’s time to go in. The agreement is established. Don’t tell me all of you are going against it!” The goblin clerk who stood at the side was somewhat impatiently urging the Trolls standing on the stage.
“The troll is like this, stupid and foolish, how many times do they need me to repeat before they can understand! Can such a fellow be called a wise creature?”
“Quick, get in!”
Colin was trembling from top to toe, his face turned red and he roared, “We know!” His voice was so rough and shocking that it made a humming sound in others’ ears.
Colin felt the extreme humiliation, since when, when did the trolls reduced to such a level, even a small goblin, could reproach and command them at will. Trolls had become the existence whereby everyone despised, in that Wizard Alliance, one could see the discrimination against Trolls everywhere.
Colin and other Trolls stepped into the portal. Everything was normal when the first three entered. But when Colin was stepping in, the whirlpool in the portal, for some reason, was suffering from intense interference all of a sudden.
As soon as Colin leaped over, he saw the whirlpool stopped instantly, the space expanded rapidly and spread towards the surrounding area. Then there was a boom and a violent explosion was heard.
Cook Bay reacted fast, all of the mechanical gears on the Mechanical Clock Tower turned at the same time immediately. The huge clock on the tower seemed to emit extraordinary brilliance with tremendous power, and the power of a mythical boundary erupted immediately, it suppressed the huge element storm and overflowing energy.
But even so, the whole portal and the top floor of the Mechanical Clock Tower were all blown up, especially near the central part of the portal. There was only a huge crater left; there wasn’t even a residue left, as if everything had been engulfed by something.
Cook Bay frowned, “How could it fail? Previous experiments have all been successful!”
“There’re no errors in the transmission of animals and ordinary people. Why does this problem arise when we’re transmitting professionals?”
All the alchemy warlocks in the Mechanical Clock Tower looked at the wrecks of failure and fell into deep thoughts. No one worried about whether the Trolls were alive or dead!
————————————————————-
Waves splashed on the beach continuously, blue sky and white clouds, and there was no human in sight in the entire world; there was no trace of wisdom of life.
The land was covered with plants, but it wasn’t green, it was colorful. There were trees akin to ice-crystal, and they grew and stretched along the coastline.
On the faraway land, the red grass was in sight. It was like ink-splashed colorful vegetation, plants of odd shapes, giant mushroom composed from spores, they grew recklessly and wildly without adhering to any natural rules.
In the far central part of the continent, there was a tower that leaped directly into the clouds, as if it was connected to a building outside the world.
The whole world was magnificent and unimaginable. What was more unimaginable was that Colin saw the barrier of the world, the bitwall. The folded wall because of the refraction of light was illuminating colorful rays; it was like a rainbow-colored sugar which was flowing along the bitwall.
“Where am I?”
Colin had never seen such a place before.
He looked at himself and found that he had become a transparent luminous body.
“Ah! So I’m already dead!”
Colin didn’t understand his death, instead of being annihilated by the world’s reincarnation, he entered a strange kingdom.
“Is this the World of Death, the Kingdom of the Dead, managed by Starsoul?”
Colin’s soul walked along the beach, through the magnificent and dreamlike colorful forest, across the ink-splashed grassland, and finally he came to the sky tower.
The huge building was beyond Colin’s imagination. The staircase was nearly ten meters high. There weren’t any traces of joint of various bricks on the main body of the tower. It seemed as if the building was one on its own, it also looked as though it was generated in an instant. The door was nearly 100 meters tall, the window was unimaginably huge. Colin, which was nearly three meters tall, was enough to make most creatures in the Starsoul World to look up at him, but now he was as small as a mouse before the building.
The whole tower was in a peculiar state, it was like an ordinary building, or as if it was a living life form or it was like an illusory and unreal existence. Colin could feel that the tower was the key to control the world of that bitwall, but he wasn’t qualified to open the gate of the sky tower.
Colin seemed to recall something. He looked up at the sky tower and the whole world, and he was in a daze instantly.
“This is…”
“The Lost… World of Titan?”
