Jianliang blinked.. Once. Twice. And now finally opening his mouth “..Your joking.” he said, raising an eyebrow as he looked at the old men whose expressions went to a calm one to some sort of smug face as they gathered up together.
Which.. Left Jianliang with a certain impression.
Jianliang had only two thoughts in his mind now, Chenyang being his secret admirer.. Not so secret and the fact that he is potentially gonna get kidnapped! looking at the old men, knowing that chenyang was QUITE important everywhere he went, well he was more famous but that didnt matter. And the expressions on their faces didn't help.
As he heard the old men start looking through their pockets and whispers of some ‘Rope’ or some form of restraints he had an already clear idea of what probably might happen to him if he doesn't run away now he will probably be taken away! And he JUST woke up knowing that shit around him is probably WAY WAY more different than he remembered 4 millenniums ago, or did he forget counting? Whatever. Jianliang began to run through the mountains barefoot as he heard the men chase after him.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! STAY AWAY FROM ME-” he screamed as they told him to calm down and shouted from a couple metres away, as he ran and ran his messy hair in his face making it hard he continued to run and kept thinking ‘No no no no no no no no.. they got the wrong guy!’ Afterall, Jianliang assumed due to Chenyangs status that he had definitely a lot of women, or men. Or whatever, he was the deity of death! And he was just a miracle! An stupid mortal!
As he looked back, noticing the men slowly disappearing from his sight of view, he sighed in relief before finally noticing where he was going, The street of Conceptia, or what was outside of conceptia, The forest surrounding it was full of Nature and had small houses or buildings that were all so busy. Conceptia outside was left to grow on its own, what mattered in the outside didnt bother, because really the path was quite small.
Compared to Ancient conceptia.
finally getting a sense of relief to finally check his surroundings, he noticed some things have changed.
Herbs he was familiar with, such as the Crystal Crescent an common flower that was known to cure common colds, which he took more time to research about when he wasn't sealed turned to a more translucent colour with different types of colour instead of the usually common white he was familiar with as he went to the plain grass field and plucked the flowers with his (somehow) still working hands,
he took a closer look and checked if they were lethal, usually most lethal plants would often show signs in there own unique way that they were quite harmful, however it seemed like this modern CC (short for Crystal Crescent ) was not so different from the past, the colours seemed to have different scents as he stuffed it down his pockets, if anyone from his past or anyone who was THAT old saw him, it would not be uncommon. As he got up he looked at the mountain and checked if the crowd was there, and which.. They still weren't, well he wasn't expecting alot from Old men, so he was in some sense of relief and looked to the pathway that could lead to somewhere he might be familiar with, that if he can recall his past, and began walking again, maybe there was a teahouse? Eh, he didnt care. He just needed to look normal again, he can't go around looking like this afterall, and he wouldn't get any information, and since the old men didn't know his status of being the Miracle.. He would probably be forgotten by now.
Damn.. he used to be in such a powerful position, being able to heal deities and mortals alike! He slayed beasts for god sakes! Now, he is left as some DIRTY Peasant! He groaned as he walked down the path strolling looking for any buildings, while stuffing herbs inside of his pockets in the way. He didn't know what they did but it would probably be important for now. As he continued strolling, pretty far away from the mountain,
Stolen novel; please report.
After a couple minutes, he looked and noticed.. He was near some strange courts, or a street. There sat and silver crested gate, purely made of silver and precious metals, apparently the mountains around him and the mountain he just came from had some purpose to it, at the architecture formal resembling those of pure royalty, as he sneaked upon the gates..
He was greeted with the view of strangely an lively place, the skies and clouds surrounding as people dressed in fancy clothing walked around, tailored to perfection, the borders were larger then the outside of the gate, as He walked around..
Certainly, he got looks from some people but the mass of people made him look like a face in the crowd, In the Corner he could hear Silhouettes of God's working hard, And Alot of talking, it seemed like alot of importance was happening there.
The other corner in the left you could see an Garden, full of cleaning servants and maids who were All quiet but some conversing in small talk the pebbles crunching among The footsteps and sweeping of the Women and Men.
But the Main attraction that seemed of great importance had to be in the middle of the Border..
The Higher courts.
Usually no one would Dare to set foot in the Higher courts unless you were working there or were a high ranking God yourself, No mortals were seen, and some even scared to even be near it..
It was huge.. It seemed to be up in the sky and underground as well. Reminiscing an Elevator but with whole floating and underground cities just in an Lift!
Advanced as it was, Jianliang.. wasn't really impressed, but abit annoyed with the technology As he stumbled upon an entrance in the Higher courts entrance.. except it was more of the back. An Opening!
Jianliang Could finally get answers, Perhaps there was someone or some gods he knew there that could get him through this mess! How long has it been? A couple milleniums long? Of course they'll remember him!
As he grinned “..Hehehe..” He muttered, as he looked around And realized no one had paid any attention to him.. and this was an opportunity, as he sneaked through the Bushes and walls, he walked through the walls squishing his body through the grass and Glowing signs..
He fell to the side of the inner wire Room, which was all so complicated, it had tech that can't be cut, or immortal technology if what you would call it. The heat was abit overwhelming, Since he was still a mortal. Not exactly a God was he, he got from his knees and began to slowly set afoot and Navigating his ways out of the wire room.. before meeting an Abrupt
Fall, which took him by surprise, usually these rooms would be checked on often right? RIGHT??
“You gotta be-” He uttered as he fell out of the wire room and realized he was falling off from level to level, as he saw the elevator going up he could only stare Falling as High ranking deitys.. were beholded with the sight of an Young Man with moldy clothing falling down to his doom infront of them..
“W-WHAT-” One of the God's uttered as some tried to save him, as Jianliang Started to praying for his life, as some of the people in the elevator were desperately Trying to pull it down, as the Usual peace in the elevator which was tense..
Was Broken by Jianliang Making a fool of himself, As The stress of this was getting abit too much for him, He passed out. His vision blurring and everything Around him disappearing as his body fell limp.
Well, **** this was it huh? He was gonna die just like this! Well, he might enjoy dying dramatically but falling down to his death? Where his body will probably not be discovered? NO WAY! As he forced his eyes up he noticed.. A glowing bright white light, around the area around him which he fell upon, the usual Black void people would panic on, or even like him think was just the end of his life but fortunately, it wasn't.. What lies under the black fog underneath the feeling was..
..Mud just. Distilled. Dirty. MUD, and a hint of distilled grass was what he can feel in his back and the palm of his finger. These, Raggedy clothes certainly didn't help with his experience, as he blinked..
Blinked again. Before.. Getting up, removing the dirt of his arms and scratching his back to rub off the mud as he picked himself up from the ground and was surprised to see that none of his bones have broke as he finally got a whiff of the fresh air of nature, He finally took a look up and across the layer he was in, and.. There it is..
A.. Beautiful Mangrove, which wasn't he expected at the bottom of this. But was better then falling down the void he expected to be at the very bottom as he groaned “..This is not what i expected down here.” before, in his direction an Piercing scream that echoed through the grove that caught the attention of him.
“..AAAGH!! WHAT THE FU-” Screamed Jiangliang as he fell to the.. Ground.
