The ship flew out of the field, passing through the golden barrier that surrounded the palace. They moved further away, heading in a direction that Alex very quickly learned was west.
Based on what Alex knew, there wasn't anything of importance to the west at all. The Black and White continent continued for some time toward the west, but everything that was important was in the other directions.
He wondered then where else they could be going.
As they continued, it became apparent where they were going. They were still headed west, but besides that, they were also headed up.
They slowly moved past the clouds that now hid most of the world below. As they continued moving further and further up, however, the clouds didn't matter anymore.
The clouds failed to hide the size of the world they were on.
"Brother Shen, what is going on?" Alex asked. "Are we headed to outer space?"
Bai Jingshen smiled. "That's precisely it."
