Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

Jiang Li lowered his head and looked at his left hand.

The rabbit in his hand had disappeared at some point, leaving only a few strands of white fur.

“There’s no way to carry other lives.”

Jiang Li seemed to be thinking about something.

Moreover, during the process of crossing, this dark door did not ask him what coordinates he wanted to land at. He just walked through the door and naturally arrived in the new world.

It seems that the landing location was decided randomly. Judging from this crossing, there doesn't seem to be any need to worry about safety.

Jiang Li turned around and looked at the dark door behind him.

After he walked out, the door of the gate had been closed at some point, and the golden inscription engraved on the door turned into the words "The Heroic Tale of the Failed Knight", but the light of the inscription was very dim.

He pushed at the door, but no matter how hard he pushed it open, it wouldn't budge.

"You mean you can't go back for the time being?"

Jiang Li frowned.

Does this mean that there's a cooldown period for time travel? Only after a certain amount of time has passed will the time travel function be refreshed, allowing him to return to his previous world?

It's not like they're going to leave him here for the rest of his life and not allow him to go back.

Hope not.

I also hope that he won’t have to wait for decades and go back as an old man.

"I don't know how fast time flows on either side, and I don't know what stage the selection competition will be at when I return... Never mind, there's no point in thinking too much now."

Jiang Li shook his head.

Come here.

Since there is no way to travel back now, I can only find a way to settle down in this world. Don’t think about things that I can’t figure out, and deal with the future later.

Vast grassland.

Although the emerald green horizon seems to have no end in sight, fortunately this is not the center of the grassland.

On the right side of the place where we settled, there was a huge forest, and high mountains could be seen on the other side of the forest.

Two kilometers to the left is a huge city, like a giant beast lying on the ground. It is surrounded by high walls, and the scenery inside the city is almost invisible.

Jiang Li looked around and saw that there was no one around. Then he had an idea and made the black door disappear from behind him.

At the same time, that perspective that transcended everything also disappeared, and a real alien world appeared before his eyes, which made him feel down to earth.

Before setting off, he experimented with a video camera.

When he enters that transcendental perspective, his figure will disappear directly from his original position, but only within a radius of five meters.

Leave this circle, or make it disappear, and your figure will reappear.

But when he stands within this circle, no one outside can influence him in any way, and correspondingly, he has no way to touch people outside.

It’s like putting yourself in a completely different dimension.

This is undoubtedly a very powerful method. It can directly make one invisible and enter an invincible state of defense. It will be very effective when facing a strong enemy.

However, this "Illusionary Realm" will not move with your movement, and since you are in it, you cannot touch people outside, so if you want to defeat a strong enemy, you still need to have strong enough hard power.

It was unexpected that the newly awakened ability to travel through time would come with such a powerful by-product, but it was undoubtedly a good sign.

Jiang Li tightened the large travel bag on his back and walked towards the city gate in a good mood.

"Wait, what about the language?"

Jiang Li was just about to set off when he suddenly thought of a very serious problem.

"Does this world speak the language of another world, or the Japanese language commonly used in the Japanese anime world?"

If it was a different world language, then he would have to learn a new language from scratch.

…………

The two kilometers passed in a flash.

As Jiang Li got closer, the huge city gradually enlarged before his eyes.

Although the scenery inside the city cannot be seen, the construction style of the city wall itself is somewhat similar to the medieval style, made of stone bricks, but it is abnormally high, appearing to be at least tens of meters high.

But this is actually in line with the worldview of this world.

In his fragmentary memories, the world of Dicuo is a world with a strong RPG game style. This world has gods, humans, monsters, etc., and has a strong flavor of the other world.

"I don't know what time it is now...but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me."

Jiang Li thought so in his heart and came to the city gate.

He had almost forgotten the plot of the Failed Knight, and of course he had forgotten the plot of the irrelevant Earth World long ago. He only vaguely remembered some famous settings.

Outside the city gate, a long queue of people were waiting for inspection.

In that team, there were merchants riding in carriages and pulling goods, there were farmers in simple clothes holding hoes, and there were warriors wearing cloaks, holding swords and equipped with armor... Among them, there were even some races that looked very similar to humans, but were different in various aspects.

Among those races, there are orcs with animal ears on their heads, dwarves who are so short that they are only half the height of ordinary people, and elves with leaf-like pointed ears and very beautiful looks.

These are all races that only exist in fantasy novels, but now they appear before Jiang Li's eyes.

This is really the first time I've seen this.

It feels very fresh.

Jiang Li sighed inwardly, then walked to the end of the team.

"Um...Excuse me, are you a god?"

Standing in front of him was an ordinary human man, wearing brown coarse linen clothes, with the simple style unique to laborers.

When he saw Jiang Li coming over, he couldn't hide the surprise on his face and asked him somewhat stiffly.

Wow, you really speak Japanese.

Jiang Li understood his words without any hindrance. What came out of the other party's mouth was indeed the common language of the Japanese comics world, which made Jiang Li breathe a sigh of relief.

"No, I'm just an ordinary human."

Jiang Li shook his head.

My name is Jiang Li, an ordinary E-level swordsman, just an ordinary human.

"That's it."

The other party seemed to understand what he said and looked very surprised.

"I heard that gods are all very handsome, and the male gods are all very handsome. I thought you were a god... If you have something to say, why don't you go first? I'm not in a hurry."

He seemed relieved, then gave up the seat in front of him and signaled Jiang Li to stand in front of him.

"Thanks then."

Jiang Li blinked and walked forward disrespectfully.

"After you."

"Please go ahead..."

Unknowingly.

Jiang Li has already arrived at the front of the team.

Chapter 94 Gods Descending from the Sky

2023-06-01

Very strange.

Although Jiang Li had been courteously offered way to others while queuing, this was his first experience of being allowed to the front by so many people, especially since most of them were men.

"Hmm... you didn't deliberately hide your divine power, did you?"

The warrior guarding the city gate was also an armored soldier, exuding the aura of a well-trained warrior. He looked at Jiang Li with a somewhat subtle expression.

"No, I'm just an ordinary person."

Jiang Li waved his hand.

He had answered related questions more than a dozen times. Many people in the team seemed to regard him as a god, so they let him come to the front. Some of those who were skeptical also chose to follow blindly.

"I see. Please open your backpack and let us check it."

It could be seen from the other person's eyes that he obviously didn't believe it, but he still made a request to him in a respectful tone.

Jiang Li spread his hands and typed an emoticon.

There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me.

"what are these?"

“A specialty from my hometown.”

The soldier guarding the gate took out several electrical appliances such as flashlights from his backpack, his face full of confusion.

"Please show us how to use it."

"……Fine."

"I see, this is a different kind of magic stone lamp..."

The magic stone lamp should be something used for lighting in this world. In order to avoid suspicion, Jiang Li did not make any unnecessary reactions and looked calm.

"No problem, please come in."

The guard checked Jiang Li's belongings one by one, wrote down his name, and then respectfully let him go. He did not become greedy when he saw some jewelry in his backpack.

"I saw that everyone else got in easily, why is it so strict for me?"

Jiang Li stroked his chin and asked the other party.

He found it strange. The merchants who had come before him had simply looked inside the carriage, questioned them a few times, and then let them in. But when it came to him, he had to take out everything and have it inspected thoroughly. Was this how he treated people differently? Be careful, or I'll file a complaint.

"It's pretty easy for most people to get in, but..."

The other person looked at him strangely and sighed helplessly, as if saying, "Why would you ask such a question?"

"If the gods want to enter, they still have to be carefully inspected."

After thinking about it, he felt that he should not be disrespectful to the gods, so he answered Jiang Li's question.

Maybe he is a god from far away and doesn't know the rules of Orario very well.

"Didn't I already say I'm not a god?"

"But you have such a face, and it's hard for me to do anything!"

The guard's expression was also very embarrassed.

"Andra, since the God doesn't understand, you can tell him more about it. Leave this to me."

Someone came over to take over the shift and said to him with a smile.

Andra nodded dejectedly and took Jiang Li aside.

Regardless of whether the other party was pretending to be stupid or really didn't understand the rules of this city, adventurers from Orario could not disrespect the gods. He could only be patient and explain everything to Jiang Li one by one.

In this wrong world, gods really exist all over the world.

In Orario, the city that serves as the "center of the world", there are an especially large number of gods, but gods are not allowed to go out easily. Even if they come in from outside, they must be checked and registered.

Some people may ask, if they are gods, how could they abide by human rules with their arrogance, such as flying, becoming invisible, or even teleporting directly? Wouldn’t that make no one able to do anything to them?

But in fact it is not the case.

——The gods came down from heaven thousands of years ago in search of entertainment.

Gods are extremely transcendent beings, and their power is almost omnipotent. Over the past hundreds of millions of years, precisely because of their omnipotent power, nothing can defeat them, and life in heaven has become extremely boring. There is almost nothing in the entire heaven that can give them a sense of freshness.

After seeing that the Nether was such an interesting place, they ran down happily and decided to live in the Nether with a gaming mentality.

Specifically, it means sealing one's own divine power, prohibiting the use of magical powers and powers, and must live like an ordinary person. Abilities such as invisibility, flight, and teleportation cannot be used at all.

In other words, gods in the underworld are almost no different from ordinary people.
