Chapter 49 - Chapter 49 High, High Altitude! Damage-free Bungee Jumping

"Did you know? The ground we step on is actually round, just like a ball of earth."

"If you keep walking forward from here without changing direction, you'll eventually return to your starting point. This is the true shape of the earth beneath our feet!"

"Perhaps people like us live in those distant specks of light too. When they look at the starry sky at night, one of the lights they see might be the planet we live on."

Hanako sighed, "If only we could see it with our own eyes!"

Hearing Hanako's voice, everyone looked at Lu Ming with longing eyes. "Lord God! Can you take us to see it?"

Hearing this, Lu Ming fell into deep thought, recalling the items he currently possessed. Which item could take them into deep space while also providing life support?

After thinking it over, only the arbitrary shuttle cube could do it. After all, its life support field allows people to survive in various environments.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming stood up. Everyone looked at him in unison. "Lord God! Have you agreed to take us to see it?" Nezuko looked at Lu Ming expectantly.

Of course, Lu Ming did not disappoint them. He nodded. "Since you all want to see it, how could I spoil the fun!"

Hanako picked up her younger brother beside her. "That's great! Rokuta, Lord God has agreed to let us go see it."

Rokuta also nodded vigorously. "Yes, Big Sister. Just wait! We'll be able to see what those lights in the sky look like."

Everyone else was just like them, looking at Lu Ming with great anticipation. Even the usually steady Urokodaki Sakonji had curiosity filling his cloudy eyes.

Lu Ming glanced at the eager crowd and raised his hand to take out the arbitrary shuttle cube.

With a thought, Lu Ming expanded the life support field of the arbitrary shuttle cube to cover everyone. No one felt anything unusual in their bodies.

As the arbitrary shuttle cube appeared, everyone's gaze fell upon the square cube that had suddenly appeared in Lu Ming's palm.

However, this cube was different from what was usually seen. In its center was a constantly rotating black hole, and around it were many blue glimmers being swallowed by the pitch-black hole.

Surrounding the circular black hole were four deep blue cubes. Overall, it looked like a black cube.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Lu Ming no longer hesitated. With a thought, everyone instantly disappeared from the spot and simultaneously appeared outside Earth's atmosphere.

In the blink of an eye, the group appeared in the starry sky of the universe. Looking at the Earth, which was half dark and half bright, Lu Ming pointed towards it.

Everyone stared blankly at the scene before them. "Lord God! Where are we now?" Tanjiro asked in a daze.

"Right now, we are outside the Earth. This giant planet before your eyes is the ground you were stepping on!" As he spoke, a wicked smile curled at the corner of Lu Ming's mouth.

Then, he led everyone in a fall from outer space toward Earth. Initially, there was no sensation in outer space, but after breaking through the atmosphere, the whistling wind roared in their ears.

Everyone's bodies rapidly plummeted toward the ground. Seeing this, they cried out in panic: "Ah... Lord God! What's going on?" Nezuko shouted in terror.

Everyone else shouted similarly. As adrenaline surged through their bodies, the pleasure of fear and excitement collided within their brains.

As the group got closer and closer to the ground, Tanjiro looked at Lu Ming with some fear. He asked Lu Ming weakly, "Lord God! You won't let anything happen to us, right?"

"Don't worry, it's fine, Tanjiro. You're guaranteed to live! Besides, don't you think this is very exciting? Doesn't your body feel great right now?" Lu Ming teased Tanjiro.

"Lord God! This is indeed exciting, but hitting the ground will surely be fatal!" Everyone present thought about the consequences if the Lord God didn't catch them later.

They might all turn into a puddle of meat on the ground. Seeing themselves getting closer and closer to the ground, they were all on the verge of tears.

At this moment, Lu Ming saw that Urokodaki Sakonji's face was pale, looking like he might kick the bucket at any moment. He waved his hand and teleported him back to the Cloud Resort Hot Spring.

Urokodaki Sakonji looked at the familiar scene before him and gasped for air. He lay on the clouds for a long time before he finally recovered.

"Lord God is playing too dangerously! I'm just an old man; I really can't take it. I've already seen the true face of Earth. This old man might as well just drink tea here."

Thinking of this, Urokodaki Sakonji silently walked toward the pavilion and brewed the tea leaves Lu Ming had brought him.

Just then, as he was brewing tea, Urokodaki Sakonji saw a large fireball falling toward the ground from even higher in the sky.

"Eh, what's that? Why is something falling from the sky?" Thinking of this, Urokodaki Sakonji's brain lagged for a second.

"This... this couldn't be Tanjiro and the others!" He tremblingly raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Luckily, Lord God sent me back! Otherwise, my life might have been over!"

He could only watch the rapidly falling fireball in the distance with a look of "good luck to you all."

At this moment, Kie, who was falling rapidly from high altitude, was being tightly held by Rokuta, Hanako, and Shigeru. She watched as her children screamed in terror.

Although she was very afraid, she wasn't particularly worried about dying like this.

At this time, Tanjiro and Takeo looked at Lu Ming in terror. "Lord... Lord God...! We're about to hit the ground!!!" The two shouted loudly at Lu Ming.

But Lu Ming ignored them, silently whistling instead. Looking at their panicked expressions, he acted as if it had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that Lu Ming wasn't nervous at all, the anxiety in Tanjiro's heart eased slightly.

He also calmed down; there was no other choice anyway. He couldn't fly. Even if they really became meat patties, the Lord God should be able to help them resurrect!

Thinking of this, Tanjiro began to estimate his distance from the ground. 10,000, 9,000... 3,000, 2,000, 1,000?

Tanjiro looked at Lu Ming. "Why hasn't the Lord God acted yet? Does he want to wait until the very last moment?"

Just as Tanjiro snapped back to reality, he saw that his face was only a mere meter away from the ground. At this moment, only one thought remained in his mind.

"Lord God! Could it be that he wants us to die once before resurrecting us?"

Everyone closed their eyes as they saw the ground right in front of them. Then, there was a loud "thump."

"Eh, I actually don't feel any pain!" Just as Tanjiro was still dazed, Lu Ming's voice came over.

"Nonsense. Falling from such a height, you'd already be a pile of mush. How could it possibly still hurt?"

Hearing Lu Ming's voice, everyone opened their eyes in unison. They felt around their bodies and found that there were no problems at all.

"How is that possible! Falling from so high? I... I'm completely fine?!" Takeo said in shock.

"Of course. You are within the coverage of my life support field. No matter how dangerous it is outside the field, everyone inside is absolutely safe," Lu Ming flexed invisibly.
