Chapter 471 JourneyOne benefit of restoring contact with the sanctuary is that every time he walks a certain distance, Anti can use postcards to contact nearby sanctuary members and ask them to help guide him so as to avoid getting lost while traveling. But even though the people in the sanctuary gave their full support and even set up a "Guide Group for Antioch" to help Antioch, it was still a bit overwhelming. Every time I heard that about ten minutes after I reported the location to Anti, he would call again and ask, "I think I went the wrong way. Can you help me find my way back?" The people in the sanctuary all wanted to complain but couldn't find the words to say. The conditions in the sanctuary are limited now and it is impossible to transmit accurate information through postcards. It is still too difficult for Anti to verbally locate the location. Every time the hero leaves, his back is so handsome, and his ugly appearance when he is a person with no sense of direction is so lamentable. But this is not a bad thing. Anti doesn't want them to be so respectful to him all the time. It's really uncomfortable. Of course, this cannot be an excuse for him to constantly torture kind-hearted people because of his poor sense of direction. So whenever Antioch passed through a place, he would look for a nearby sanctuary that was busy and offer help. Whether it is settling disputes or hunting wandering gods, as long as the problem can be solved by violence, Anti can do it.
Of course, some issues other than violence are also acceptable. For example, ask Anti to get an autograph or take a photo with him. Over time, Antio moved from the west to the east, and the legend of Antio was left behind along the long road. Due to many factors, even with Anti's speed, it took him more than a month to walk this journey. It seemed like there was something worth talking about, but for Anti, it seemed like there was nothing to talk about. Without the company of acquaintances, without so many reasons and involvements, all he did was pick up the weapon in his hand and kill, kill, kill, kill. This might be the normal state that one should experience after coming to this world. If he had entered this "daily mode" earlier, his current reserves of various abilities would probably have increased several times. Listening to the people along the way cheering for him for killing the terrible and noisy parade disaster, Anti wiped the blood off his body frequently and continued on his way without any emotion. This feeling is a bit like when I was a kid, because of my outstanding athletic talent, every time I participated in a new sport, there would be people cheering for my performance. It makes no difference. Killing wandering gods is no different from playing football, basketball, tennis, table tennis, swimming... Just do it, then endure the expectations and cheers, leave the game and move on to the next one. It's that simple. Anti never thought about whether this world was worth saving. The "salary" from his bosses is the fundamental motivation for him to do this. He has never regarded himself as a savior, and his mentality has not changed much compared to when he first came into this world. …… That’s not the case. Maybe there is something else, besides the bosses' deals, that can motivate him.
Even if it's just a little bit, some of the touches are not false. Why on earth was I willing to be mediocre in the past? I still can't remember what my grandfather said in the end. Whether I really can’t remember or I don’t want to remember, it doesn’t seem to matter anymore. People always have to find a reason for what they do. However, my reasons are sometimes not so tenable. Unbalanced exchange, despised lives, valued people... His every move might seem a little scary and crazy to others. However, Anti would rather call this behavior too simple and normal. "I tend to think too much, and you tend to think too little, but that's not a bad thing. You can eliminate all the complicated information, and there will always be a time in the future when you can use your talents. However, when you start to reflect on yourself, don't be soft on yourself." Someone seemed to have said this to him, and it was probably just an unintentional remark from the other person, but Anti would still think of this sentence from time to time. How is that troublesome roommate doing now? Considering his ability and mentality, he should be very happy. I just don't know if he has become more like a "normal person". Normal people. After so long, have I become more like a human being? If I could go back, I would really like to ask him. …… In Anti's hand, there were a few purple crystal blocks. After walking out of the northern plateau mountains, Anti asked about the affairs of the Night Chaser Church, and then went straight there. They cut the Gordian knot quickly, killed all the people and collected the Eternal Night Crystals, which they had no idea how long they had been collecting. They then inquired about the information about the remaining Eternal Night Crystals and got all they could. This side quest, which had been stuck for a long time and was almost forgotten, made rapid progress at this time. There are now fifteen Eternal Night Crystals in Anti's hand. There is only one missing from the required sixteen pieces for the collection mission. And that one, strangely enough, according to the information he finally learned from the prisoners of the Night Chaser Church, was consistent with Anti's final goal of this trip, also on Xuan. It seemed that after Lingge shattered the Eternal Night, a follower from Xuanshang took away this crystal. That was why the Church of the Night Chasers had been investing extensively for such a long time and trying various methods but still failed. Even the recruiting charlatan from Xuanshang seemed reluctant to look for them. Most of the time Anti was lost because of the mountainous plateau terrain in the north. If Anti had not been so calm, someone with a slightly more irritable temper might have relied on his own strength to walk straight through the mountain. The shortest distance between two points is a line segment. After leaving the north, the vast plains in the east became much easier to travel, and there were also more fantastical scenes such as swamps, wetlands, and tropical jungles. But this kind of terrain is slightly easier to climb than the mountains.
Looking back at the route the people in the sanctuary described, even though I firmly believed that I was walking in a straight line, after taking a rough look at the map at a sanctuary camp, I found that I was walking in a strange "S" shape, jumping up and down in an extremely weird way. But then again, the feat of walking across the dream world in about a month is unprecedented. At this time, Anti was in a city in the eastern corner of the dream world. The architecture here has a bit of the style of ancient Eastern architecture on Earth that Anti knew, probably because of the close distance and the influence of the cultural outflow from Xuanshang in the past. The sea can be seen in the distance, but when you turn around, you see mountains all over the place, shrouded in fog and unable to see their true appearance. The mountains and the deep sea are closely connected. If you continue to sail eastward in the Far East Ocean, it is said that you will enter a fog, unable to distinguish the direction and the space will be confused. Occasionally, people would return from the foggy sea, and their stories of what they had seen varied widely. It is said that there are strange giant sea monsters in the foggy sea. Some also say that at the end of the foggy sea is a huge cliff, and the sea water flowing down is like falling into the abyss. It seems that Anti actually knows something about the sea monsters in the fog. He compared the coordinates and memories of the distribution of wandering gods in the entire sea area of the Chaos Dream Realm obtained from the Great Whirlpool. There are still a few in this foggy sea area. But I won’t look for them for now. Anti stood on the eaves of an observation deck, looking at the misty mountains in the distance. Tianwei Mountain is right in front of you. (End of this chapter)
