Chapter 1 The Tides Begin

When the dark side of the Sea of Cernos is projected onto the material world, the order of the entire world will be turned upside down. The various rules set by the Creator Goddess are crumbling under the impact of the power of chaos. Shadows spread from the abyss, and fire and smoke will cover the earth. The worlds floating in the void will constantly shake, and the smaller lands will even capsize directly.

In the oldest books of the Violet Empire, the wizards of ancient times recorded prophecies about the Great Tide—these prophecies recorded, with surprising detail, the events that would occur when the chaotic tide reached its peak and the forces of order completely collapsed, to the point that some scholars in the Holy See believe that the "Violet Prophecies" record not only omens of the future but may even be events that have already occurred in the past.

High-level cultivator Karasuthus believed that what he was seeing was the Great Tide described in the prophecy.

Originally located outside the battlefield of order and chaos, smoke and clouds began to emerge from the endless void. The cliffs of the continent were quickly swallowed by the power of chaos as if sinking into a boiling pot. He saw the floating islands in the distance being torn and pushed by the power of the chaotic tide. Deafening cracking and collision sounds were constantly transmitted. Small islands were directly smashed into pieces, and large islands could not escape the fate of being torn apart in the violent shaking. Pillars of smoke and dust rose from those collapsing floating islands, a scene like the end of the world.

Above the Hammer of Holiness, the originally clear sky was now completely covered by dark clouds, and unsettling black masses loomed in the dark clouds: that was the chilling manifestation of the power of chaos. Darkness enveloped the holy warship, and the light emitted by the fire-burning device and the goddess statue at the stern could hardly spread far in the darkness—the entire world seemed to be gradually dimming as if the fear of being crushed from all directions by some invisible behemoth swept through the hearts of everyone on the warship.

Exclamations and hurried footsteps spread throughout the ship.

"Calm down! Don't panic! Negative emotions will allow you to be swallowed by chaos!" Karasuthus shouted loudly from the bow. His voice was amplified by magic and spread throughout the ship. "This is the Hammer of Holiness! You are standing on the most powerful magic warship in this world! With the Creator Goddess above, return to your posts, take up your weapons, and defend this ship! We will surely arrive in Lunier safely!"

The structure of the magic warship was creaking, and a rumbling, low-pitched strange sound echoed from below the deck. It was the rapidly increasing magic power in the air that caused the ship's conduction device to make an overwhelmed sound. The operators of the Hammer of Holiness immediately retracted the magic-conducting plates on both sides of the ship, and the ship was spared the terrible fate of being "burst" by magic power. However, the real trouble had just begun.

The ship began to tilt and shake incessantly during the tilting process.

Karasuthus struggled to maintain his footing. He clearly saw countless shadowy things emerging in the surrounding air. Some looked like ugly monsters with wings, while others were simply indescribable lumps and lines. These were the claws of chaos taking shape in the material world, and they were obviously unwilling to let a warship exuding the aura of order run amok in their domain.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Deafening cannon fire came from the lower deck. The crystal core cannons installed on both sides of the magic warship finally opened fire, and the chaotic monsters that had not yet formed entities in the air were immediately dispersed by the artillery fire, and the ship's capsizing was finally alleviated.

However, more monsters were constantly condensing.

"Accelerate! Throw off all the burden, blow up the magic-conducting plates, use the magic crystal to drive the power furnace, the Goddess is with us!"

A sudden gust of wind swept across the deck, and cold ice crystals quickly froze into a layer of ice shell on the bow. Karasuthus shouted in the storm and frost. Powerful magic power burst out from his body, forming a thin protective layer in front of the warship to reduce the magic power consumption of the magic warship after abandoning the magic-conducting plates.

When the warship's magic-conducting plates fell into the endless abyss in the explosion, the high-level cultivator subconsciously looked down at the thick dark clouds below.

He tried to find the blue balloons he had seen before, those crude and primitive flying tools.

However, he did not hold any hope: the powerful Hammer of Holiness was already swaying so much in the face of the chaotic tide, how could the primitive transportation tools built by a group of magical beasts on the floating island last for a few seconds? Perhaps the hot air balloons had already been shattered the moment the storm broke out.

Karasuthus couldn't help but sigh. He no longer lamented his own fate but felt sorry for the subspecies that might have entered the stage of enlightenment. This cruel world equally destroyed all hope in the world.

But just as he thought so, a ray of light suddenly broke through the clouds from the darkness...

When the storm broke out, Lily didn't understand what was happening at all.

She didn't know about the ten thousand years of war between chaos and order, nor did she know what the dark side of the Sea of Cernos was, and she didn't even know the prophecies and power of the chaotic tide. The magic apes and lesser demons living on the floating island were isolated and ignorant. They only had a little fragmented knowledge passed down from their ancestors, which was not enough to describe the worldview of this world. But one thing was beyond doubt: what was happening in front of them was a catastrophe.

Lily's fur stood on end, and she jumped up and down in the upper pod for several laps, almost subconsciously wanting to call Hao Ren's name, but after a few laps, she suddenly remembered that the landlord was not here, so she had to force herself to calm down and use her academic mind, which had graduated from Peking University four times, to think about how to survive in the current predicament.

She looked in the direction of the starting point. The floating island had been completely engulfed by flames, and huge stones and soil were constantly falling off the island. The entire island was obviously disintegrating, and it was only a matter of time before it collapsed into pieces, and around that floating island, other small islands were even more unbearable, and some islands were even tumbling like light bubbles under the impetus of some invisible force: obviously, going back was a dead end.

The only chance of survival seemed to be the continent in the distance.

Lily raised her head, and the distant scene was reflected in her golden eyes. Due to the influence of clouds and darkness, the cliffs of the continent were blurred in her eyes, but she could still see the direction she should go. On this route, everything didn't seem too bad.

Chaos was rising, but it had not completely suppressed the power of order. What was happening now was just the prelude to the big storm.

"Accelerate!" Lily shouted loudly, "We're going to the continent!"

An old magic ape stumbled out from under the deck. Lily vaguely remembered that its name was Grugru. The ugly magic ape looked panicked and shouted incoherently as soon as it came up: "Alpha! Our island is broken! Our island is broken!"

"I know, I've already seen it!" Lily shouted loudly, her sharp teeth flashing between her lips, reflecting a cold light. "If you were still on it, you would be dead by now—so I've let you live for a few more minutes! Now immediately listen to my orders, accelerate, signal the other hot air balloons, let everyone accelerate, only by going to the continent can we be truly safe!"

The old magic ape nodded慌慌张张, then its eyes suddenly愣, it stared straight at Lily, its expression as if it had seen a ghost.

It was really difficult for a magic ape to make such a complex expression.

"What's wrong?" Lily grinned, "Why aren't you listening to my orders!"

"Alpha..." the old magic ape pointed at Lily in fear, "You... you are glowing!"

Lily was stunned and quickly looked down at her body.

She was glowing.

White light seemed to seep out of her body, illuminating the surroundings softly but firmly, and the light was still expanding its range. In just a few breaths, it had illuminated the entire upper area, and then it spread to the entire pod and the entire airship as if ignoring obstacles. Anything along the way that was illuminated by the light did not leave a shadow: as if the light was not light, but some kind of bright and brilliant flowing water.

The white light continued to expand, already beyond the scope of the airship, and soon illuminated the other two small airships next to the main airship. Within the range covered by the light, the storm stopped, the shadows receded, and the fog and black smoke disappeared as if they had never appeared.

The originally crumbling airship also quickly stabilized after being illuminated by the light. Obviously, the invisible destructive force was also dispelled by the light.

"I remember..." the old magic ape's lips moved, "My grandfather said that humans call this the Light of Order..."

Lily blinked, not reacting to what was going on.

She didn't know that many of the strange-tasting foods that Hao Ren usually gave her were stolen from Crow 12345's house.

She didn't know that many of those foods were even made by Crow 12345 herself.

She didn't know that after eating too many natural treasures, even she would become a natural treasure...

She had the largest appetite in the family. Every time Hao Ren stole things back from Crow 12345's house, a considerable part of anything edible would end up in the stomach of this husky spirit. Now, these accumulated "divine treasures" finally showed their power. In this chaos-ridden world of Coro, Lily showed a physique similar to Hao Ren:

A mobile Light of Order Wi-Fi emitter, with wall penetration.

Lily was stunned for a while, muttering to herself: "...I'm so bright."
