I am the creator of New Life on the Earth
Chapter 125: A Journey to the Unknown

Chapter 125: A Journey to the Unknown

The room was silent except for the faint rustle of Ani’s footsteps as she re-entered. Adam glanced up from where he stood, his arms casually crossed.

He had been waiting patiently, his expression unreadable but calm. Ani approached slowly, her demeanor slightly flustered.

"I’m sorry for the delay," she murmured, avoiding his gaze for a moment.

Adam’s sharp eyes softened as he noticed the change in her attire.

Ani had swapped her earlier outfit for something far more comfortable—a simple yet elegant blue ensemble that seemed to complement her natural confidence.

The fabric moved gracefully with her steps, adding a sense of serenity to her presence.

Adam himself had changed into casual attire, his dark blue clothes emphasizing his enigmatic aura.

"You look great," Adam remarked with a slight smile, his tone both reassuring and firm.

Ani nodded, a small but genuine smile forming on her lips.

Adam extended his hand toward her. For a moment, Ani hesitated, glancing back at her elder sister, Yami, who stood quietly in the corner, observing everything with an unreadable expression.

Yami’s lips curved into a faint smile, but she said nothing, her eyes speaking volumes about the trust she was placing in Adam.

Taking a deep breath, Ani stepped forward and placed her hand in Adam’s. His grip was steady and warm, instilling confidence in her.

Meanwhile, Sona, the psychic spirit created by Adam, gracefully descended from midair and perched herself on his shoulder.

Her small, wings folded neatly, giving her the appearance of a vigilant guardian.

Adam turned toward Yami, his gaze steady and filled with determination. "We won’t be gone long," he assured her, his voice carrying both a promise and a sense of responsibility.

He shifted his attention to Tayo, who hovered nearby, her sunlit aura shimmering faintly. "Tayo, protect Yami while I’m gone. If there’s any emergency, contact me through the Telepathy. No hesitation."

Tayo, the radiant sun spirit with her delicate wings, nodded firmly. Though small in stature, her presence was commanding, and her golden eyes reflected unwavering loyalty.

Yami stepped forward slightly, her voice soft but firm. "Adam, I’m trusting you with my sister. Take care of her."

Adam’s expression didn’t waver as he met her gaze. "I won’t let anything happen to her. That’s my promise to you."

Yami nodded, her trust evident despite the flicker of concern in her eyes. Ani glanced back at her sister one last time before turning fully toward Adam.

"Are you ready?" Adam asked, his voice cutting through the room like a calm but decisive command.

Ani nodded again, gripping his hand a little tighter.

"Let’s go," Adam said.

Adam closed his eyes briefly, focusing on the dimensional plane.

Sona adjusted her position on his shoulder, her small wings shimmering as she settled.

In an instant, the trio—Adam, Ani, and Sona—disappeared from the room, leaving behind a faint trail of white light.

Yami and Tayo were left standing in the now-empty room. The silence was heavy.

"How long do you think they’ll be gone?" Yami asked softly, her voice filled with quiet uncertainty.

Tayo hesitated before shaking her head. "I have no idea," she replied, her tone thoughtful and tinged with concern.

They exchanged a glance, their shared unease palpable.

The transition was instantaneous yet disorienting. Adam, Ani, and Sona materialized in a completely new realm. Ani’s eyes were shut tight, her grip on Adam’s hand firm as she tried to steady herself.

"Ani," Adam said gently, his voice pulling her back to the present.

She slowly opened her eyes, the initial dizziness fading as her vision adjusted. Her gaze shifted to Adam first, seeking reassurance.

He gave her a small nod before stepping aside to let her take in their surroundings.

Ani turned her head and froze. Her breath hitched as she absorbed the sight before her.

They stood in a narrow alley, flanked by towering, futuristic buildings.

The structures gleamed under a soft, radiant glow, their exteriors made of sleek white tiles that seemed to pulse faintly with blue light.

The alley was eerily quiet, its confines creating an intimate atmosphere. Yet beyond the narrow walls, Ani could glimpse a bustling, airborne metropolis.

The skyline was filled with vehicles—cars that floated effortlessly in midair, zipping through invisible pathways.

The roads seemed to glow with the same blue light that connected the buildings, creating an intricate, interconnected network that stretched as far as the eye could see.

The entire city seemed alive, humming with energy that was both mechanical and organic.

Ani’s wide-eyed wonder mirrored Adam’s own reaction. While he maintained his usual calm demeanor, there was no denying the slight lift of his eyebrows and the way his gaze lingered on the hovering vehicles and seamless architecture.

"This place..." Ani whispered, her voice tinged with awe.

"It’s... advanced," Adam replied, his tone measured but laced with curiosity.

The alley they stood in was narrow, its smooth, tiled walls rising high on either side. Unlike the vibrant chaos of the city beyond, the alley was serene, almost untouched. The ground beneath their feet seemed to glow faintly, the same blue energy coursing through it.

"Is this... a part of the city?" Ani asked, her voice hesitant.

Adam nodded. "It’s a side street, away from the main activity. But it’s still connected to the larger network....probably."

Ani glanced around, her amazement slowly giving way to unease. The alley was too quiet, too isolated. It felt like they were intruding on something private.

Sona, still perched on Adam’s shoulder, unfolded her wings slightly, her psychic aura shimmering as if sensing the environment. Adam glanced at her and then back at Ani.

"We’ll figure it out," he said simply, his voice grounding her.

From the corner of his eye, Adam could see Ani still processing everything. Her gaze flitted from the glowing roads to the hovering vehicles in the distance.

The faint hum of the city’s energy filled the air, creating a backdrop of sound that was both soothing and unsettling.

Adam’s sharp eyes scanned the advanced cityscape before him, its grandeur a blend of cutting-edge architecture and luminescent streets.

The vastness of the development left him impressed, but his focus remained fractured.

His earlier observations lingered—this dimension, once stable and harmonious, now bore an unsettling imbalance.

He felt it deeply, as though the very fabric of its existence was on the verge of collapse.

Despite the magnificent city unfolding around him, Adam couldn’t shake a troubling realization: Pratham and Mikasa’s presence, once as vivid as a flame, was now absent. A heaviness settled in his chest as he turned to Sona, whose expression mirrored his own concern.

"What’s wrong, Lord Adam?" Sona asked softly, her voice tinged with worry.

Adam hesitated for a moment, his gaze distant. "I can’t feel Pratham and Mikasa’s presence here," he replied, his tone low yet firm.

Sona’s breath hitched as her concern deepened. "Do you think something... terrible has happened to them?" she asked hesitantly, her voice barely a whisper.

Adam’s eyes darkened as he looked at her. "I don’t want to imagine such a possibility," he admitted grimly. His words sent a chill through Sona, and even Anya, who had been marveling at the city, turned her attention to the conversation.

The group’s mood shifted from awe to unease, the beauty of the city temporarily forgotten as they pressed forward.

As they walked, Adam’s sharp senses remained on high alert. The wide road beneath them, made of pristine white material, was lined with glowing blue lights embedded along its edges, their pulsating luminescence lending the street an almost ethereal quality.

Adam couldn’t help but admire the intricate design, a testament to Pratham’s brilliance.

Inwardly, he allowed himself a rare moment of pride. Pratham, you’ve built an extraordinary city. I’m genuinely proud of you, he thought, his admiration genuine.

They soon reached a corner where the street narrowed into an alley.

The smooth transition from the grandeur of the main road to the quiet, shadowy passage caught Adam’s attention.

His instincts flared as he sensed something ahead—a faint commotion, muffled but unmistakable.

Adam stopped abruptly, his gaze narrowing. This dimension was, after all, his creation. Here, his authority was absolute.

Without even focusing, he could sense the disturbances that rippled through its environment.

Now, with a slight effort, he extended his awareness forward, feeling the faint vibrations of an altercation taking place further down the alley.

Quickening his pace, Adam moved with purpose, his black-clad form cutting a striking figure against the glowing streetlights.

Ani and Sona followed close behind, with Sona effortlessly hovering slightly above the ground, her movements smooth and deliberate.

As they neared the alley’s end, Adam slowed, his sharp eyes scanning the area.

He wanted to assess the situation thoroughly before intervening—his understanding of this dimension’s current state was incomplete, and the lapse in time since his last visit left him uncertain of what awaited them.

The alley opened into a small square bathed in the warm glow of sunlight filtering through the holographic advertisements projected above.

A nearby restaurant caught Adam’s eye. Its sleek glass façade reflected the light, revealing a bustling interior. One particular advertisement floated just outside, displaying an image of a glowing blue drink labeled "Roink Drink."

But Adam’s attention was soon drawn to the far end of the square, where a tense standoff was unfolding.

---

A young girl stood at the center of the commotion. She appeared no older than fourteen, her striking white hair flowing down her back like a river of silver.

Her full-body suit hugged her form, its design seamless and futuristic. Along the suit’s side, a glowing blue line pulsated softly, snaking across her body before converging at her chest, where it seemed to feed energy directly into her heart.

Even her eyes glowed with the same ethereal blue light, their brilliance sharp and piercing. She was surrounded by twelve soldiers, their imposing figures clad in advanced dark green suits of armor.

Their helmets concealed their faces entirely, leaving only sleek black visors that betrayed no emotion or intent.

Each soldier held a weapon, its barrel glowing with the same blue energy as the girl’s suit. The weapons hummed softly, their power restrained yet palpable, aimed directly at her.

Adam’s sharp gaze lingered on the girl, noting every detail of her appearance and the strange energy coursing through her.

She stood unflinching in the face of the soldiers’ aggression, her luminous eyes locked on them with a mixture of defiance and fear.

The soldiers, in contrast, stood rigid and disciplined, their weapons unwavering. Their presence exuded authority, but Adam couldn’t shake the sense of unease that hung in the air.

This was no ordinary confrontation.

The Chapter ends with Adam standing at the edge of the scene, his mind racing as he prepares to uncover the truth behind the standoff.
