My different world is game mode.

Chapter 706 Ten Years Later
[Dust Road World], countless sky islands float here.

After passing through the desolate outer world and entering the middle ring world where resources are normalized.

On these sky islands surrounding the Middle Ring world.

The towering stone pillar-shaped peaks stand here, reaching into the sky.

If you look at it from the perspective of a giant.

This circle of stone pillars and empty islands is like a fence to protect one's backyard, and also like an exquisite birdcage to imprison a canary.

[Guiding Stone Pillars - A broken world cannot retain resources. These stone pillars were created artificially to protect matter from condensing on the sky island and preventing it from flowing into the void.]

Standing on an empty island outside the middle world.

Lindsay looked up at the stone pillars, and then said to Alice beside him:
"These stone pillars are the core that ensures the operation of the entire world."

"If someone wants to destroy this world, I'm afraid that as long as they destroy some of these stone pillars, this place will inevitably decline."

Lindsay spoke while looking into the distance.

The heights of the sky islands fluctuate.

The resources here are gradually becoming abundant, and there are even clouds floating in the sky.

To some low-lying sky islands, these clouds appear to be towering clouds in the sky; but to some higher-lying sky islands, the same clouds appear to be carpets beneath one's feet.

Alice, who came here with Lindsay, also nodded:

"Yes, just like the crisis before Mooncry Ridge."

"If there are people with ulterior motives here, the situation will only get worse."

Lindsay mentioned:
"But this place is closer to the [Capital of Law]."

Alice has a unique perspective on this:
"Yes, some people can allow themselves to harm the world in their fight for dominance, but if the one who harms the world is an outsider, that's another situation."

Having said this, Lindsay opened her portable shop.

He collected food from around and prepared dinner for the two of them today.

The plants growing on the sky island are mainly low shrubs, which also give rise to a large number of berries or herbaceous fruit trees.

Lindsay adapts to local conditions.

Not only did he collect the corresponding species and cultivate them in his own garden, but he also adjusted his daily diet to focus on local products.

Eat it for such a period of time.

Every time when Lindsay cooked, she felt that the sugar content in her blood increased a lot when she saw the fruits being cooked in the pot.

【Food Production】Guaranteed delicious dishes.

But if you eat it like this every day, it will inevitably feel too sweet.

Meanwhile, Alice jumped onto the roof.

She looked into the distance, alerting Lindsay who was cooking seriously, and also expressed her admiration for this skill:
"Lindsay, every time I see it, I think your skills are too amazing."

"I can understand that [Gamer] has special abilities from another world, but what you have shown has far exceeded the limits of what can be described as 'special'."

"..."

As for other questions, Lindsay would definitely answer honestly.

After all, Alice is her companion.

But the real reason why his skills are so powerful is because of the [Anthroposophical Codex] that Alvette stuffed into Lindsay's hands.

This is the artifact of the [City of Law].

This is of great significance to both those who practice justice and those who are knights of the law.

Therefore, Lindsay did not intend to hand it over to anyone before personally arriving in the [City of Law] world and confirming the position of the righteous people and the people.

He replied to Alice on the roof:

"Look what you said."

"As long as I give you the corresponding modules, you can also transform it into a portable house, which is not much different from what I did!"

The girl on the roof smiled and said:

"But when the time comes, I won't have the ability anymore."

"Lindsay, this is your miracle. At times like this, don't bring Earth's modesty into the other world. Oh, right! I'm still a little curious, why is being hit and killed by the dump truck you mentioned connected to time travel?"

"..."

Lindsay was silent for a while.

In her boring life on the road, Alice often asked him for advice.

Lindsay also generously passed on some knowledge from Earth to this upright girl. As a result of this behavior, Alice learned some strange words and enjoyed them. One person cooked, and the other joked.

Their short life in the only house on Sky Island was like the plain daily life under the eastern fence.

boom--

at this time.

A powerful torrent of source energy suddenly erupted!
This force that breaks the quiet atmosphere does not come from anyone, it emerges directly from the root of the world!

"..."

Lindsay, who was cooking, and Alice, who was on the roof, stopped at the same time.

Their eyes met.

I instantly realized that today was a special day.

"Source Essence Tide!"

"Today is payday!"

Lindsay put down the food in his hands, jumped onto the roof, and looked into the distance with Alice.

This is Lindsay's first harvest day since becoming an awakener.

With his current fifth-stage power, he could clearly feel the powerful source essence emerging from the entire world.

This whistling force is indistinguishable, full of vitality, and mysterious.

At the same time, call for the awakening of all things in the world!

Lindsay just carefully sensed the source energy around him, and all the attributes on his data panel naturally increased by 5 points.

Now look into the distance again.

The clouds floating between the sky islands seemed to become more vivid under the impact of this source.

All of these are changes that are difficult for ordinary people to detect.

"..."

"Lindsay, how do you feel?"

Alice smiled and spoke to Lindsay, but the latter did not speak immediately.

In addition to its significance to the awakened, this tide also has another meaning for Lindsay.

It has been exactly ten years since he left his hometown.

"ten years."

"It feels like... it feels like time is passing by both quickly and slowly."

"Everything that happened 10 years ago seems to have happened right before my eyes, but when I think about it carefully, I have experienced a lot more."

For ordinary people, 10 years is a very long period of time in life.

Lindsay's past cognition also made him view this period of time in this way.

But actually?
As long as nothing unexpected happens, Lindsay can live for more than 1000 years even if he gives up the exploration of the source material now.

A long decade and an even longer life.

The contrast between the two, coupled with the source quality sensing at this time, brought Lindsay a very subtle feeling at the moment.

"..."

Alice smiled.

The girl was very sensitive and noticed Lindsay's current situation, so she patted her on the shoulder:

"Come, sit down and take a good look."

"When I first became a righteous person, I also experienced this kind of change in my mentality. Lindsay, a person's life will never remain unchanged. Adapting to a new self is also an important scenery on the road."

Later, Lindsay and Alice sit on the roof of the cabin.

Two small figures sat on the huge sky island and continued to gaze into the distance.

Lindsay inexplicably thought of someone—Vivian.

With the [Source Emblem] she left behind, Vivian will definitely become an awakener.

According to the customs of the world of [Mooncry Mountains].

It's time for that young and strong child to have a new name.
