Capítulo 84: Chapter Eighty-four: The Descent of the Colossal Pillar! The Aroma from Above
In the outside world, Wang Hui returned to his senses and opened his eyes.
His gaze fell upon the eastern plains of the clan world, where he could see the diminutive figures of Liliya and the witch Mag still present. They had only ventured slightly around the vicinity, not daring to approach the distant divine kingdom's pastoral folk.
Retracting his gaze, Wang Hui temporarily closed the glass dome to accelerate time in the miniature world, then turned to his refrigerator to rummage through his stash of snacks.
When he had promised Gulu Mi a unique treat, he had already known what "exotic delicacy" to offer.
Wei Long Spicy Strips!
What he found first was a large package, a special commemorative edition released by Wei Long last month, featuring spicy strips as long as thirty centimeters!
With such a classic flavor, who could deny it met Wang Hui's criteria for something "big and delicious"?
Initially pondering whether to cut it into pieces before presenting it, he decided against it after some thought.
The grandiose spicy strip should be enjoyed in its full size to truly capture its essence!
After all, wasn't the "Underground King" Gulu Mi known for its hearty appetite? Let's see if it can devour such an extravagant spicy strip!
Of course, Wang Hui also prepared a bag of mini spicy strips, convenient for transportation and storage by the diminutive clanspeople.
"A divine gift of this scale should offer more than just food..."
After a thorough search in the fridge, his eyes lit up!
"The clan world is in the sweltering peak of summer. Let the divine bring you a breath of coolness."
Wang Hui reached into the freezer compartment and retrieved an ice tray filled with small, frozen cubes!
Returning to the clan world, he lifted the glass dome, and in the span of an external minute, half a day had passed internally.
Liliya and Mag remained dutifully in place, now engaging in teaching and practicing new spells during their wait.
Meanwhile, the subordinates dispatched by Zou Qiutang had erected an expansive wooden platform on the plains.
Utilizing a mortise-and-tenon assembly of timber, it could be easily assembled and disassembled, facilitating the swift construction of wooden houses or martial arenas like a set of building blocks.
It seemed the naval architecture materials Wang Hui had previously left behind had sparked inspiration among the Nalan clan's craftsmen in other fields...
Presently, aside from those unable to leave their duties, the leisure-seeking populace of the three clans had gathered around the wooden platform on the plains.
Especially the young boys and girls, who had grown up hearing grand tales from their elders about the magnificent scenes of past divine gifts, eagerly sought the chance to witness it themselves.
When word spread from Lord Zou Qiutang of an impending divine gift, the children couldn't contain their excitement! They pleaded with their teachers to lead them to the site, hoping to catch a glimpse of the divine's grandeur!
"I heard the City of Divine Gifts was lowered to the mortal realm by the hands of the celestial deity. How immense must the deity's body be? Do you think we'll see it this time?"
"Not necessarily. My father once witnessed a divine gift where many pieces of meat rained down from the sky, but he didn't see the deity's hand..."
"Ah, I was only two years old when the divine meat was bestowed, and hadn't even grown all my teeth. My mother insisted on stuffing a piece in my mouth, claiming it was divine sustenance that could strengthen the body, and nearly choked me!"
The children from the City of Divine Gifts gathered by the platform, chattering excitedly.
Meanwhile, in an open space nearby, Liliya and the witch Mag stood dumbstruck.
They had been quietly practicing spells on the grasslands when they saw hundreds of carriages approach from the west, unloading vast quantities of sturdy timber, quickly assembled into a wooden platform by the divine kingdom's workers.
As the second and third convoys arrived, the wooden platform expanded, forcing the two women to retreat to observe from a distance.
"Is the divine kingdom preparing for some sort of ceremony?"
Despite her worldly experience, Mag couldn't fathom what the people were orchestrating.
Gradually, the area surrounding the platform swelled with thousands, a cacophony of voices, yet none dared step onto the platform.
Even the most mischievous children behaved, hiding beneath the platform with wide, expectant eyes fixed on the sky.
Although some had noticed the presence of Mag and Liliya, Wang Hui had instructed Zou Qiutang, who had conveyed the orders down the chain, so no one initiated conversation with these "outsiders."
"Even children under five have magical abilities..."
With [Arcane Sight] sustaining her vision, Mag observed with a complex expression.
She then turned to the fully-armed patrol soldiers, each robust and brimming with magic, comparable even to the Storm Kingdom's royal guards!
Beside her, Liliya, devoid of complicated thoughts, curiously surveyed her surroundings, hesitating to inquire about the events, mindful of Wang Hui's directive not to stray far...
Simultaneously, in the external world, Wang Hui observed the wooden platform's completion on the eastern plains and gently lowered a Wei Long Spicy Strip into the glass dome.
"The divine gift is about to commence! Silence!!"
Zou Qiutang, having undergone four body refinements and possessing acute senses, was the first to detect the atmospheric anomaly above the clouds and loudly commanded order!
The previously chaotic commotion among the three clans instantly hushed as they knelt in unison around the vast wooden platform.
The transition from clamor to silence left Liliya in a daze!
She couldn't help but quietly ask the witch beside her, "Ms. Mag, should we kneel too?"
Mag remained unresponsive, her gaze fixed upon the sky.
Puzzled, Liliya followed her gaze upward, her mouth soon agape in astonishment!
A vast shadow loomed above the clouds, obscuring much of the sunlight.
Whoosh—
As the clouds parted, the shadow revealed its true form!
It was a colossal yellowish-red... pillar?
At that moment, the slime Gulu Mi, wound around Mag's wrist, slipped away, stealthily morphing into a blue-haired girl to gaze skyward.
"Can such a terrifying thing really fit in the stomach?"
Though a touch of fear clouded Gulu Mi's face, a line of crystalline drool trickled from her mouth.
Boom!!
The gigantic spicy strip struck the wooden platform with a thunderous crash, akin to an earthquake!
An intense spicy aroma followed!
"What is that smell? So fragrant..."
"It's the divine food not recorded in history!"
"Oh my, are we witnessing new history?"
People craned their necks, the aroma enrapturing their senses.
For over a year, various spices had been introduced from Reverse Wind Port into the clan world, adding new flavors to the clans' tables.
Yet the complex scent of spicy strips from the outside world was beyond the imagination of the miniature civilization!
Soon after, the sky rained down more "small pillars" of similar color and texture, thudding onto the platform.
These "small" pillars were only relatively smaller than the previous giant.
After all, an ant in the miniature world was akin to a giant beast; the mini spicy strips from the outside were considerably larger than ants...
The stacked proportions were enough to satiate the entire clan population for a lengthy period!
Yet Mag's eyes remained fixed upward.
Her instincts as a seasoned water sorceress sharply perceived the chilling moisture advancing from above!
