“The world is divided into five continents and five oceans. The continent we humans live on is named Tianchen. Beyond it lies Tianchen Ocean. There are four countries on Tianchen named Dafeng, Tianlong, Kuishui, and Canglan. Each occupies their own corner of the continent. Dafeng is the most powerful of the four. Only by combining their strength can the remaining three countries hope to compete with Dafeng’s strength. Their alliance struck a balance against Dafeng, and it has maintained the peace and stability that exists today.”
The old man seemed to yearn for the old days after recounting this, as if it had been too long since he had seen the world of which he spoke.
Tianchen Continent?
Ye Wuchen’s thoughts were chaotic. What were the Hua Xia and the earth that existed in his memories? Where they false memories or ……
He had traveled from his earth to some new unknown world!
He recalled one of the words from his memories—traversal.
“Does everyone here speak a common language?” Ye Wuchen asked.
“That’s right.”
“Where are we now?”
The old man was silent for a moment and sighed. “This is the extreme north of Tianlong, an area that was forgotten and sealed off. It has existed for a long long time. It is common knowledge in Tianlong that it is impossible to leave this place once you step into its boundaries. But fifteen years ago, I broke through the barrier sealing this place in arrogance, and I have never gone back. I even implicated my own grandson. Now, those fifteen years seem to have passed in the blink of an eye.”
Noticing Ye Wuchen’s surprised face, the old man continued. ”Since I then, I have discovered that there are no natural disasters or monsters here, but there is a strong enchantment that only lets people in but not out. I have attempted many times to break it but every attempt has ended in failure. So, I lived my life here just like the other people that have been trapped here. They have no choice but to settle down and live out their lives.”
Ye Wuchen’s face stiffened in silence.
A sealed place. If there is no way to get out, then how would he recover his memory and explore the course of his life? Perhaps he should just choose to settle here like the other people?
No!
