Chapter 165 A Strange Realm
Flutter. Flutter.
The wind blew across the most enchanting open field that stretched out for miles and miles.
The beautiful scene was so breathtaking, filled with ankle-length grass all around.
The grassy carpet was soft and smooth, making one feel tempted to sleep on it. And very strategically, one could find several forest regions scattered far away from the open fields.
The sliced-bread-shaped butterflies fluttered their wings around, making many feel the scene surreal.
Bread butterflies?
HmHm.
The butterflies looked and even felt exactly like sliced bread. Soft, with a bit of hardness to them.
And even from this distance, many could see an enchanting lake with magnificent stones around the scene.
There were strange animals roaming around from time to time, staring at the unexpected guests in either confusion, shock, or understanding.
And just far away from the open fields, one could see what seemed like the only kingdom or city standing firm on the massive land.
Where... Where... Where were they?
(°0°)
Miroku, Yangku, and the other villagers gripped each other and looked around in disbelief.
Eh?
Only after they recalled Old Fru's words did their eyes fly out of their sockets in understanding.
Another Realm! Another Realm!
Woooo~~~
The villagers all felt like crying when they thought of how blessed they were.
Dammit! What luck was this?
Who would've thought that they, one of the lowest entities in this world, would ever get the chance to visit another Realm?
God! They must've saved the entire lower realm in their last lives to have such a good opportunity.
At the same time, they realized how selfless the Young Town Lord... No... it shouldn't be Boss Chu.
Yes. Now, they had realized how selfless Boss Chu was in giving such an opportunity for a low price.
Who were they? Mere nobodies. And suddenly, they now had an opportunity that many might die and never get. So how could they not feel blessed?
The qi was so rich that it quickly smacked their faces with its mere presence.
I'll be damned!
Just inhaling it made their inner body scream in glee.
Awesome!
Now, they felt like bowing and worshiping Boss Chu.
No! From today henceforth, he would be their Father!
(+0+)
...
Looking at the surreal scene before him, Yangku's lips quivered vigorously before focusing his attention on Chu Che with laser-focused eyes.
Zoom!
Target locked!
He looked so hard that it looked like he wanted to pry open Chu Che's head with his eyes.
But who can blame him?
He just wanted some validation to prove that he wasn't dreaming... or else he might just slap himself hard.
"B-Boss Chu!... Are we... Are we really in another realm?"
Chu Che gazed at the anxious man close by and chuckled: "Yes, Village Head Yangku. We are in another world."
Sigh... at this point, he had long given up on explaining that it was just a simulation. Since these people liked to think of it as another Realm, then who was he to spoil their fun?
Miroku's eyes beamed with sheer excitement after listening in on Chu Che's conversation with his father.
He stared at the beautiful scene before looking at the sky in confusion.
Why was it like this?
Miroku looked up, and probably about 10 stories high, was where the first 3 ladders were placed.
Following that, after another crazy height, several more ladders floated there too.
And this went on for what looked like infinity because no one could see the ends of it all.
Some ladders lay in a slanted position, while others stood erect instead, pointing in various directions
It was as if there were a million of them going upwards to maybe the sun itself. Who knows.
But this was yet another interesting fact.
He realized that he couldn't see the sun at all.
At present, they were at the edge of some massive floating city.
Yup! The magical land was so large that it encompassed both an enormous walled city as well as an enchanted forest too.
And looking over the edge of the land, he could see the entire land floating above the clouds.
Then if so, why couldn't they also see the sun?
Could it be that the level the city was floating at wasn't the highest point?
This… This… What kind of strange Realm was this?
(0w0)
...
Looking at the many stacks of ladders above the sky, Miroku's mind was spinning around with thoughts of his own.
Surprisingly, even though the Ladders were all stacked up, they didn't hinder the beauty of the sky.
The edges of the ladders looked like they were made of clouds. And the middle area of the ladder looked like it was made of glass instead.
It was all see-through and seemed to blend well into the scene.
However, the ladders were gigantic, made for giants and not people with their regular sizes.
And maybe it was just him... But why did he see the tail of a giant red snake gently resting on the first ladder?
The tail was so big! And yet, it seems like it was only the very tip of the Giant snake.
So how big was this beast? And why was it resting on the Ladders?
It was now and then that Miroku recalled the name of the Realm.
Snakes & Ladders!
~Boom!
Instantly, a voice rang from inside his head, and he soon found himself watching a strange scene unfold before his eyes.
[In the Time Before Man... The Serpent Gods existed…]
