Apotheosis

Upon seeing the races of the Deep Space, Geoffrey asked, "Should we be going too?"

Elder Xue walked out of the oval building and looked up at the sky. "It's not the right time yet."

"But they've all sallied forth," said Geoffrey.

Elder Xue shook his head. "Today is the Power-boosting Day, so the innate skills of those races native to the Deep Space will soar. It's indeed a good day for them, but not for us."

In the past few days, Geoffrey had learned much about the races living inside the Deep Space. He knew that a portion of their power came from the annular sun above their heads, and the light it released today was indeed very dazzling.

"What about them?" Geoffrey looked at the members of the Elemental race.

"They'll naturally go too," said Elder Xue.

He then selected four members of the Elemental race. These guys had long prepared themselves thoroughly, so when Elder Xue chose them, they quickly gathered in front of the door, ready to set off.

After Elder Xue gave them a few words of advice, they stepped on the green lines and headed straight for the chimney.

"Actually, they don't have to go," said Geoffrey as he gazed at their receding backs.

"You're surprisingly quite kind-hearted," Elder Xue said with a smile. "Don't worry. I've taught them a new method. If the method succeeds, they'll be able to go even farther inside the chimney."

"But they'll die..."

Geoffrey murmured.

After staying here for a few days, he found that the members of the Elemental race weren't as hateful as they looked.

Furthermore, they had learned the language of the fourth-grade world from Elder Xue, so they could have simple conversations with Geoffrey.

Now that he had a better understanding of them, Geoffrey couldn't help but feel very sad to watch them heading to their deaths.

Elder Xue remained unconcerned. His gaze was fixated at the chimney in the distance as he wanted to observe the movements of the other races in the Deep Space.

Beams of green light began to rise from the surface of the chimney.

Some went out after they rose about forty feet, some were extinguished after they rose about eighty feet, and some others rose all the way to a height of more than a hundred feet—an excellent record, and it would have been even more excellent if it wasn't obtained at the cost of those creatures' lives.

"There are many surprises this time. The Wrona race did a good job, and the Cold Ape race is unexpectedly weak.

Anyway, it's our turn now,"

Elder Xue, who had been keeping an eye on t

s indeed used to their stubbornness. After all, he was the one who had been educating them, which really wasn't an easy thing to do. In the end, he roughly explained the reason why the Deep Space collapsed, the current situation, and what had happened in the third-grade and the fourth-grade worlds.

The members of the Elemental race were confused, but they roughly understood what had happened.

The person, who had caused the Deep Space to fall into such a situation, was currently making trouble in the third-grade world. Once he succeeded, the third-grade, fourth-grade, and fifth-grade worlds would collapse. Only by obtaining that object would they be able to save the world.

"So, I have no choice," said Elder Xue. "I'll go in with Geoffrey on the Rippling Water Day five days later."

"What about us?" a member of the Elemental race asked.

"You can come with us, but you'd better leave one person behind," said Elder Xue.

That person could later replace him and continue to fight for the slim chance.

The members of the Elemental race no longer objected, but they were now arguing over who should be left behind.

All of them were more than willing to sacrifice themselves. Now that they had reached this step, no one was willing to be left behind. After a discussion, the one who came with Geoffrey was finally chosen to stay behind.

Five days later, the Rippling Water Day came.

The surface of the annular sun in the Deep Space emitted a ripple-like golden light, and the sunlight became soft and warm.

The warm golden light put all the races in the Deep Space at ease. Geoffrey, Elder Xue, and three members of the Elemental race finally set off towards the chimney.
