The Mighty Mage
Chapter 140: Leaving The Island

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Leaving The Island

There were millions of dots in the spatial rift. Even if Long Yifan had a god-level artifact and entered a spatial rift, he would need at least 20 years to find her location.

Hence Gu Jin could only give up and tried to take the risk.

"It’s alright. I am already trapped in this forsaken place for the past 2 years, what worse could happen?"

Gu Jin had a very clear principle. She has been trapped on the island for 2 years if she takes the gamble, the best outcome would be escaping this place, and the worst outcome would be landing in another unknown location.

Given the current situation, taking the risk seemed like the only viable option.

"Alright, Space, let’s do it," Gu Jin said decisively, steeling herself for what was to come.

"Understood, Master. I’ll do my best to guide you through the storm," the space replied, its tone filled with determination.

"But before that, let me take some pills."

Gu Jin took out some Yellow Rank Body Strengthening pills.

She also wore the Magic Shield given by Yun Jing, wore a protective set of cultivation clothes, she also wore the defensive artifacts she had bought from the market.

Feeling fully equipped, Gu Jin took out some pills from her space and placed them in a box.

"What are you doing master?"

"This place has given me so much, I need to repay it." Saying so Gu Jin placed a big box of pills.

The pills in the box were only 1% of the pills she had produced during her time on the island, but she hoped they might help any future explorers who ended up in this strange place.

It was her small way of giving back and ensuring that her time here left a positive mark.

God knows whether she would be able to come here again or not.

"What about the herbs that master have planted?" the space asked.

Gu Jin looked at the vast island that was covered by the herbs planted by her, and shook her head,

"No need, don’t we have more than enough herbs?"

Gu Jin was telling the truth.

After all, the herbs she had accumulated by using Age the Herbs were enough to last at least 3 more years.

"You are too generous master." The space couldn’t help but praise Gu Jin.

"Stop saying nonsense things and let’s leave."

"Okay, master."

Gu Jin slowly walked toward the storm with her heart pounding in her chest. The air crackled with energy, and the storm seemed to roar louder as she approached.

As she neared the storm, she could feel the pull of its chaotic energy intensifying. It was like an invisible force trying to drag her into the vortex.

She took a deep breath and prepared herself mentally.

"Yes, Master. Just keep moving forward and don’t lose focus," The space encouraged.

Gu Jin braced herself and stepped into the swirling mass of energy. Instantly, she felt herself being lifted off the ground, spinning uncontrollably.

The defensive artifact on which she had confidence that it would at least last 10 minutes, didn’t even last 10 seconds.

Gu Jin hurriedly wrapped herself in her plant vines, in the hopes that her body parts wouldn’t be torn apart by the violent energy.

The storm raged around her, a cacophony of thunder and lightning, a blur of colors and sensations.

It was disorienting, but Gu Jin kept her focus, her mind anchored on the hope of finding an exit.

The sensation was disorienting, a dizzying whirl of light and sound. She clung to the thought that this was her only chance to escape, her only hope of finding her way back.

Suddenly Gu Jin thought about the compass and took it out.

A blue protective barrier wrapped around Gu Jin and Gu Jin finally felt relieved.

With the pressure gone, Gu Jin started to withdraw her vines, just enough to have a clear view of what was happening outside.

But all she saw was darkness.

Suddenly multiple space rifts appeared and Gu Jin’s eyes brightened.

She tried to sense which of the dimensions was her and suddenly felt the White Mana in her Mana space vibrating.

Gu Jin understood what was happening, closed her eyes, and entered her mana space. She touched the white mana and heard it say,

"Last. Left."

Gu Jin asked calmly,

"Do you mean the last one in the left direction?"

"Yessss..."

Gu Jin paused. Her body was continuously getting swirled by the violent energy of the storm.

How would she know which one was right or which was the left direction?

"Could lead the way?"

"Sure..." The White Mana replied a thread of white light shot through Gu Jin’s Mana space and pointed to one of the space rifts.

Gu Jin opened her eyes and jumped into the space rift.

Before she could completely leave the island, she saw the white light entering some other space rift.

It just happened that the space rift in which the white light entered was facing another space rift.

Gu Jin couldn’t see anymore as she fell into space.

After Gu Jin left, the space rift closed.

The space rift in which the white thread had entered echoed with the voice,

"Master move to that place."

"No."

"Master, trust me. That energy is the key to stabilizing the rift. It will help you regain control over your magic and possibly lead you to a way out."

"What’s going on?"

"Master the reason why the distance seems so large is because the path you are taking is wrong."

After some time, a girl came out of the space rift and instead of falling into the island she fell into the space rift that was facing the space rift from which she had come out.

The storm slowly calmed down.

Suddenly a small pole emerged from the ground of the island and it threw some red light around the area.

It was as if it was trying to sense something, and finally, after 2 minutes it stopped and went back to the ground.

The original peaceful island suddenly started vibrating a little.

If Gu Jin had been present there she would have noticed that the sea which she was not able to enter was a ground.

The sea was an illusion and slowly the ground appeared. The ground then started to shake a little and finally, it opened.

Two small figures came out from the open ground and looked around carefully.

The figures were very small and looked timid.

After ensuring that no one was present on the ground, both of them shouted,

"No one! That human left!"

One of the small figures announced it, and many small figures emerged from the ground and started running around.

"Yay! Finally!"

"Yes!"

All the small figures were actually humans, other than their height which was relatively short as compared to other humans, they were exactly like humans.

Dwarf.

If Gu Jin had been here she would have realized that the island in which she had stayed belonged to the dwarves.

Suddenly one of the dwarfs pointed out,

"Hey look! Is that thing legendary herbs only found in the Human World?"

"Is it? I have heard that they are poisonous!"

"Poisonous? No! I have heard that they have the effect of healing wounds!"

"Huh? Truly? Let me touch it then! I don’t feel well!"

"Hey don’t touch it without knowing!"

"What? Do you think you can stop me? You truly deserve a beating..."

An old aged dwarf tapped his stick on the ground and said,

"Shut up! Let me check!"

The dwarves who were fighting a few minutes ago, stopped and stepped aside with a guilty look,

"Sorry Elder Pei!"

Elder Pei didn’t look at those dwarves, currently, he was more interested in the treasure in front of him.

He checked the herbs and finally confirmed,

"It is indeed herbs. That human was generous!"

The dwarves around Elder Pei gasped in amazement.

"Truly? Healing herbs from the Human World? We’ve only heard legends about them!"

"Thank the heavens! This will help our wounded and sick!"

One of the dwarves, a young female named Suri, stepped forward with a glint of curiosity in her eyes.

"Elder Pei, do you think this human was aware of our existence?"

Elder Pei stroked his long, white beard thoughtfully.

"It is possible. The fact that she left these herbs here means she wanted to repay the land for sheltering her."

Another dwarf, a burly male named Garin, nodded in agreement.

Author: For people who didn’t understand the reason, why the past Gu Jin felt that the place was familiar, was because of the white thread.

When the past Gu Jin jumped into the space rift, she didn’t directly reach the island but fell into another space rift, which threw Gu Jin into the island 2 years back!

In short, it was the future self of Gu Jin who had guided the past self of Gu Jin.
