"Captain, the fleets ahead have split into two routes." The team behind promptly reported to their captain, "One of the ships went right."
"Is the Sea God on that ship?"
"Left."
"They must be trying to mislead us. Follow the Sea God! They think this little trick can fool me? Without the Sea God, they wouldn't even know the way!"
The fleets behind were all closely watching the Sea God's movements, so they unanimously chose to follow the left fleet.
And the fleets even further behind did not see Raine taking the other path.
Before long, the Sea God said to Avril, "There is a counter-current ahead, we are preparing to accelerate upstream."
"Roger that, all captains be prepared to accelerate!"
Fancy had been leaning against the window, watching until that warship disappeared into the darkness.
"Raine, you have to come back alive, or I'll never forgive you!" Fancy said with tears in her eyes.
...
Raine sat in his seat, preparing to transfer his consciousness to the ship, but at this moment, White somehow appeared.
"White? How... How did you get on this ship?" Raine didn't expect White to stay on board.
"Woof woof!" White barked at Raine a few times, wagging his tail happily.
White always liked to follow Raine wherever he went.
There was no time to send White away now. Raine squatted down and petted White's head, "You rascal, you have no sense of organization or discipline. Well, you're much stronger than before, maybe you can help me. I'll take you with me. Just watch over my body for me."
"Woof woof!"
Raine's Sea God's Child body was secured by the seat belt, and his consciousness was currently merging with the ship. He could clearly see that no ships had followed him. For a moment, his warship was the only one in this waterway. Amid the surrounding darkness, it felt somewhat lonely.
Raine believed that Avril and the others could follow his orders and prioritize safety. The Sea God Fruit was not a must-have.
"Such a big tree, I refuse to believe you grew naturally." Raine muttered, "The Wood Heaven Crystal must be here!"
Speaking of which, although Raine had acquired the Fire Heaven Crystal, Earth Heaven Crystal, and Metal Heaven Crystal, none of them were obtained easily. One could say they all involved life and death situations!
So when the Sea God mentioned the dangers of this journey, Raine chose the gate to hell without hesitation.
"Display full topographic scan."
The system quickly completed the scan. Even though it was pitch black here, Raine was able to clearly observe the surrounding environment.
The surroundings were a sealed tunnel, and it felt like he was some microorganism traveling in a blood vessel.
There were no forks in the road, just one way forward.
He sailed along the waterway, and after about ten minutes, the water gradually began to become turbulent, as if the direction of the current was leading him forward.
"Ding, a large waterfall is located ahead. Please prepare in advance." The system sounded an alarm.
Raine checked the map ahead.
The topography ahead was a bit frightening. The roots were almost vertically downward at a ninety-degree angle, and the passageway seemed to become narrower than before, almost filled by the water flow. Even the flight mode couldn't be switched.
"Damn, so I have to be swept down with the water flow? It seems I can't take the warship on the road ahead." Raine quickly returned to the Sea God's Child body, unbuckling his seatbelt as he spoke.
"White, the ship is too large. We two will go down and let it wait for us here!"
The ship opened the hatch, and Raine and White jumped into the sea together.
The sea was turbulent, Raine carried White on his back and rushed along the water flow. In a moment, they arrived at the waterfall ahead.
"White, hold your breath!" As soon as Raine finished speaking, the two were directly swept down the waterfall!
The waterfall was about three hundred meters high, but just as the two fell into the bottom layer of the waterfall, there was a second waterfall less than fifty meters ahead.
The passage below was filled with water with no gaps, and it was fortunate that White's body was far from ordinary, able to hold its breath for a long time.
On the way, Raine went through a total of eight waterfalls, each one two to three hundred meters high. From the radar map, he calculated that he had dived at least 2000 meters!
After experiencing the last waterfall, the space here suddenly expanded a lot, the water surface was only half of the passage, and White finally had the opportunity to take a breath.
"Damn, White, luckily we can breathe here, otherwise I would have to supply you with oxygen..." Raine carried White and swam forward.
"Woof woof!"
White seemed to have found something and barked loudly.
Raine turned on the flashlight and pointed it ahead.
There was actually land ahead?! And on the land, there was a huge stone gate.
"Damn, aren't we supposed to be inside the hollow root of the World Tree, why is there... there's land here?"
Raine was also confused and could only carry White towards the land.
Arriving at the stone gate, Raine shone a light on it.
There were two lines of characters on the stone gate.
"Heaven has a road you won't take, hell has a door you insist on entering."
"When you open this door, you will bring endless disaster to this world!"
Raine was shocked and stood still.
"Damn, what... what does this mean?"
Bringing endless disaster to the world was definitely not the outcome Raine wanted.
The warning was a bit scary. Raine frowned, not knowing whether to go in or not.
.....................
On the third day of entering the World Tree, Raine was looking for any clues that would help him make a decision on the stone door when the previously orderly situation on Avril's side was finally broken.
No weak fleets could mix in the Sky-class sea area, and even though this journey was extremely energy-consuming, the fleets were well-prepared, and most of the ships completed this journey against the current.
As they continued to sail upwards, the road gradually began to widen.
The fleets behind also started to speed up and catch up, almost sailing side by side with the Dad.
On the third day, the sea area in front of them was quite wide, and thousands of warships were almost lined up.
"Sea God, what exactly is this place, what is the structure inside the World Tree? Why is there such a wide space?" Olivia asked puzzledly.
Sea God smiled slightly, "Do you think the World Tree is just the huge tree you see?"
"Um? Isn't it...?" Avril asked curiously.
Sea God smiled slightly, "If it weren't for my mental connection with the World Tree, I might think the same as you. But later I realized that the reason why it is called the World Tree is because... its roots are rooted in the entire earth!"
"What you see is just a tiny part of it that is exposed above the sea!"
Trajan frowned, "That's not right, even if it's like that, we have indeed been going upwards. According to our route, we should be at least four to five hundred meters above sea level. So by this calculation, we should be inside that small part of the World Tree that is exposed. No matter how developed its root system is, the above water part is only that wide."
Sea God smiled slightly, and turned his head to look at Trajan, "Do you know about high-dimensional worlds?"
"Huh?"
"Entities living in a low-dimensional world can never see the full picture of a high-dimensional world!" Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Sea God thought for a moment and said, "Let me give a not very appropriate, but relatively easy-to-understand analogy. Inside the World Tree, there are multiple worlds, and we have entered one of them. As for Brother Raine, the one he will enter... will be another world..."
"Captain, the fleets ahead have split into two routes." The team behind promptly reported to their captain, "One of the ships went right."
