Chapter 155: Humans, Heaven, and the Catastrophe of World Destruction

"Vanessa, you... you won't leave me again, will you?"

Li Meng, sitting by the bedside, looked at Vanessa with hopeful eyes.

Vanessa weakly shook her head.

"I won’t leave you. I won’t give Olivia another chance!"

It turned out that the other figure in the black robe was called "Olivia."

From the name, it seemed to be a female.

"Vanessa, why are you crying?"

As they talked, tears suddenly began to fall from Vanessa's eyes.

Clear, crystalline tears streamed down her cheeks.

Li Meng became anxious, unsure of what to do.

When it came to playing the role of a partner, Li Meng was certainly doing his best.

Vanessa shook her head, both crying and laughing.

"I... I don’t know either. Thinking of the days when we first met and got to know each other makes me feel so warm. It’s like everything just happened yesterday. But the thought of losing these memories at any moment terrifies me!"

Vanessa reached out and tightly held Li Meng’s right hand.

"Gobumeng, if one day I suddenly forget you again, you must tie me down. Don’t let me leave you. If one year isn’t enough, then two years; if two years aren’t enough, then ten years. You must live well and never let me wake up only to lose everything."

Faced with Vanessa’s heartfelt plea, Li Meng fell silent.

All he wanted was a strong subordinate.

But how should he respond to Vanessa’s genuine feelings?

Li Meng reached out his right hand and gently caressed Vanessa’s face.

"Vanessa, I won’t let you leave me again."

Vanessa happily nuzzled her face against Li Meng’s hand.

With Gobumeng’s promise, she felt at ease.

It wasn’t until two hours later that Li Meng finally left the wooden hut in a daze.

Standing at the door, he looked up and let the sunlight bathe his face.

"I’ll just treat her better from now on!"

With a grin, Li Meng leisurely walked toward the warehouse.

He wasn’t twisted enough to torture a woman who loved him, even if that love wasn’t entirely real.

About half an hour later, Li Meng returned.

In his arms was a pile of clothing he had found in the warehouse.

These clothes had been stripped from adventurers.

In the battle against the Irisis Public Pioneering Corps, many adventurers had perished.

The iron armor and weapons had already been melted down and reforged.

The cloth and silk had been collected and stored in the warehouse.

"Here are some clothes I found in the warehouse. Pick something you like to wear."

Li Meng placed the clothes on the floor next to the bed.

Vanessa, her bare body glistening, sat up.

She looked gently at the tall and ugly goblin before her.

Her dark red skin revealed seductive curves.

Li Meng sat cross-legged by the bedside.

"Vanessa, why did the Dark Elf race summon the Savage God?"

Whether Vanessa was willing to tell him, Li Meng didn’t know.

But how she answered was very important.

Even now, Li Meng couldn’t be sure if Vanessa was pretending.

Vanessa leaned forward and snuggled into Li Meng’s arms.

Li Meng instinctively held her smooth, soft waist.

Inside the wooden hut, Vanessa’s voice began to rise.

"Ammon, do you know the origins of humanity?"

The single word "Ammon" sent shivers down Li Meng’s spine.

"No, after all, in your eyes, I’m just a goblin who hasn’t been alive for long."

Vanessa chuckled.

Compared to her nearly eternal lifespan, Ammon was indeed very young.

"Three thousand years ago, humans on the Augus Continent were still very weak. They were the favorite slaves of the dragonkin. But one day, humans living on the Central Continent rose in rebellion against the dragonkin. They slaughtered their masters and fled southward, eventually establishing themselves in the southern borderlands of the continent, where they thrived."

"After arriving in the southern borderlands, humans suddenly became exceptionally strong overnight. They developed their own system of power, 'Crystal Magic,' and used it to repel numerous invasions from other races."

"For two thousand years, many races have tried to investigate the origin of human crystals, but all have come up empty-handed."

"Two thousand five hundred years ago, the Sea of Death appeared out of nowhere and began to expand rapidly."

"Where it spread, all life perished, and nothing grew. That is the Sea of Death."

"Fifteen years ago, a very strange being came to our chieftain. It was neither fully human nor inhuman, with a pair of pure white wings of light. It claimed to be an angel from Heaven and said that the crystals were a product of Heaven, while humans were a race favored by Heaven."

"The angel told the chieftain that the crystals worshiped by humans were slowly consuming the planet’s life energy. If the crystals weren’t destroyed, the Sea of Death would engulf the entire world within a thousand years."

"Upon hearing this, the chieftain began secretly plotting to use the Savage God’s power to destroy humanity."

"Olivia and I came to the Goblin Forest because of this."

"The Goblin Forest is very close to the human world and is home to many savage tribes. It’s the perfect place to summon the Savage God."

"And then I met you, Ammon!"

At the end of her story, Vanessa looked up at Ammon with deep affection in her eyes.

Faced with Vanessa’s tender gaze, Li Meng smiled awkwardly.

Earlier, he had suspected that Vanessa might be faking her emotions.

Now Li Meng realized the power of "Word Spirits."

Vanessa had truly accepted those false memories.

Imagined memories were the most deeply ingrained.

Holding Vanessa’s soft waist, Li Meng’s expression turned contemplative.

He hadn’t expected to learn such a world-destroying secret from Vanessa.

"Could my purpose in coming to this world be to destroy the crystals?"

The apocalyptic disaster made Li Meng wonder.

But he didn’t have the time to dwell on such chaotic thoughts now.

Looking down at Vanessa’s delicate and supple body, Li Meng grinned.

Vanessa’s body was indeed soft.

It also smelled fragrant, incredibly enticing.

"Vanessa, how do those ships flying in the sky manage to stay afloat?"

Whether the world ended or not, Li Meng didn’t care.

Satisfying his curiosity was far more important.

Li Meng had always been curious about how flying ships worked.

Vanessa, being a Dark Elf with vast knowledge, must know the answer.

Seeing Ammon’s curious expression, Vanessa smiled.

"That’s primal rune magic, originating from the dwarves. It allows magic to be engraved into enchanted materials using runes, making magic power more efficient. The dragon bones of flying ships are inscribed with numerous flight runes. When activated, these runes enable the ship to fly. By adjusting the amount of magic input, one can control the ship’s ascent and descent. The sails are inscribed with hurricane runes that generate wind to propel the ship."

Vanessa’s explanation made Li Meng’s eyes light up.

So the principle behind flying ships lay in "primal rune magic."
