Weighing the bird-shaped gold ornament in his hand, Crane quickly returned to reality, picked an open place at random, set up the altar, and held a sacrifice ceremony.

He has no idea of delving into the other secrets hidden in Calderón, the city of the dead, the River of Eternal Darkness and the vague figures that wander in it, because he has more important things to do, and there is a key question he wants to ask the "Goddess of the Night".

Soon, he performed a ritual in which the candle flame was combined with spiritual materials to form a "door of sacrifice and giving."

Without hesitation, Crane lowered the bird-shaped gold ornament into the wind, and it still passed through the mysterious door that slowly opened, and disappeared into the infinite darkness.

In the next second, he was keenly aware that he had been forcibly dragged into a dream.

At the center of the dream is a Gothic palace that seems to blend in with the darkness around it, beautifully detailed, dull in color, but gorgeous.

Crane walked through clumps of night herbs and sleeping flowers and stepped into the palace.

In the deepest part of the hall, the "Goddess of the Night" sat on an ancient high-backed chair, still wearing her long black dress that was layered but not complicated.

The sparkle on the dress and the glow on the dome, walls, and columns of the palace create a quiet and dreamy starry sky.

The "Goddess of the Night", whose face seemed to be covered with layers of tulle, took the bird-shaped gold ornament, slowly stood up, and walked down the steps to Klein.

His voice sounded like a serenade:

"What do you want to ask?"

Klein politely took off his top hat and bowed slightly:

"I wonder if the grey mist that shrouds the River of Eternal Darkness has something to do with the 'Lord of Mystery'. ”

That is, "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun".

Although the head of the "Goddess of the Night" was not clear, it intuitively made Klein feel that he seemed to smile:

"Yes, and it's not just the 'River of Eternal Darkness' that is shrouded in gray mist, the city behind that door in Bansey Harbor and the entire western continent are shrouded in gray mist. ”

Klein hesitated:

"It's a seal?"

The dream projection of the "Goddess of the Night" said:

"Yes, except for the 'Source Fort' and the 'Chaos Sea', all the rest essentia was sealed in the Western Continent by the 'Lord of Mystery'. ”

"The River of Eternal Darkness", "The Mother Nest", "The City of Calamity", "The Shadow World", "The Land of Disorder", "The Wilderness of Knowledge", and "The Key of Light" have all been sealed to the Western Continent by the "Heavenly Venerable......". It's no wonder that the city behind the door of Bansey Port is like the magic capital of the past...... Is it the "City of Calamity" that affects the real city, as well as Bansey, and then, in some way, because of them, it changes somewhat?

When Bansey saw the scene behind the door before, he suspected that it was related to the Western Continent, and according to the clue that Bansey was the location of the "Red Angel" Medici family, he suspected that behind the door was the map of the essentia of the "City of Calamity".

After a moment of silence, Klein did not hide his feelings, and sighed calmly:

"The 'Lord of Mysteries' is more powerful than I ever imagined......

"How could such an old day, who can be called a pillar of the universe, fall silently?"

The dream projection of the "Goddess of the Night" shook her head:

"Not without sound.

"From some of the clues now, it can be inferred that He fell with the 'God' of the ancient times.

"The corpse of that 'God' formed the first 'Blasphemous Slab' in the 'Sea of Chaos', and next to the Slab was the uniqueness of the 'Thief' path. ”

In other words, in the middle of the First Age, the "Lord of Mystery" and the "God" had an unusually fierce but modest battle, and both eventually fell? This explains why the ancient sun god had or herded the uniqueness of the "thief" path when he came out of the "Sea of Chaos", which was torn from the "Lord of Mystery" by the "God" in ancient times...... Crane asked with a little confusion in his thoughts:

"Why do they want to kill each other? They are both pillars, and they belong to different paths, and there should be no contradictions that you can't resolve to live or die. ”

The dream projection voice of the "Goddess of the Night" said softly and soothingly:

"Aggregation is instinctive.

"The higher the level, the stronger the instinct.

"Both the 'Lord of Mysteries' and the 'God' of the ancient ages have irrepressibly reunited to become the entire cosmic incarnation, the instinct of the original Creator. ”

The more powerful, the more crazy it is? In addition to being cunning, powerful, terrifying, and full of wisdom, "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" still has such a side? Klein thought for a moment and said:

"The 'Lord of Mysteries' and the 'God' of the ancient ages should be in essence different aspects of the original Creator?"

The dream projection of the "Goddess of the Night" said in a soothing voice:

It might be more accurate to use the analogy of different personalities of the same being.

"The original Creator is the Creator of the universe and the Terminator, the day and the night, the divine light and the fallen abyss, the aggregate of all contradictory concepts and symbols.

So, he naturally has an uncontrollable tendency to divide, and when he splits, he has a strong tendency to converge.

"In a history older than the time in which we lived, the sleeping original Creator had naturally split into multiple personalities, who were also in a state of slumber, but began to use their power and extraordinary characteristics to indirectly influence the world, preparing for the real division after the awakening of the original Creator.

"Among them, the most powerful and active are 'God' and 'Lord of Mysteries', the latter of whom has another honorific name in the Western Continent.

"In the middle and early part of the First Age, they must have mastered additional, plural essentia through different means, which made their instinct for aggregation so strong that they could not control themselves and act against each other.

"According to the research of the 'Ancient Sun God', the pillar is the highest level of self-state stability. If the old days exceeded this limit, even if they contained only one more essentia, it would inevitably be controlled by the instinct of aggregation and could not be reversed.

"No one knows what the specific situation of that battle was, not even the Seven Lights of the Spirit Realm. We only know that since then, the two old days that could be called pillars have completely disappeared, and the rest of the essentia outside of the 'Chaos Sea' and the 'Source Castle' have been sealed away by the power of the 'Source Castle' to the Western Continent, where the 'Lord of Mysteries' once ruled.

"This arrangement has led to a problem, that is, the 'Lord of Mysteries' and 'God' have reappeared, and before the seal of the Western Continent is lifted and broken, there is no Sequence 0 in this world who can become the old days and fight against the outer gods.

"As the end draws nearer, this problem compels all true gods to produce a 'master of mysteries' or 'God,' and the former 'lords of mysteries' and 'God' are likely to awaken within them. ”

This...... Therefore, sealing the rest of the essentia was deliberately done by the "Heavenly Venerable" to prevent the Sequence 0 True Gods of the later generations from deliberately avoiding their own path and stifling the birth of a new "Master of Mystery"?And as long as a new "Lord of Mystery" is born, there is a high probability that he will be resurrected and completely awakened...... To a certain extent, this kind of arrangement is not afraid of being known at all, and the more you know about the existence, the more inclined you will be to support a "master of mystery" as soon as possible, lest there will be only a few years left to control their respective essentia in the end, and they will not be able to become old...... The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt that the "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" was extremely terrifying.

This made him sigh in his heart:

"It is worthy of being a pillar-level old ...... that can make the 'God of Lights' fall into the current situation"

Klein then asked:

"Then why don't you support a 'Master of Mystery' in the Fourth Age?"

The answer to this question is actually known to him, because with the passage of time, the will of the different personalities of the original Creator, the "Heavenly Venerable" and the "God", is also declining. The closer to the end of the world, the weaker the corresponding will, and the more likely it is that the latecomers will confront and suppress it, so as not to lose themselves directly.

The fact that Adam waited until recently to become a "visionary" is proof of this.

The dream projection of the "Goddess of the Night" brought a bit of a smile:

Neither Amon nor Bethel were willing to do so, and they wanted to be prepared to wait until the end was near.

"Salinger intends to indirectly use the 'River of Eternal Darkness' to merge with the 'Red Priest' uniqueness and create a new path of the old days, and then he will go mad and can no longer restrain his desire for the convergence of the 'twilight' and 'darkness' paths. ”

The "Grim Reaper" is also forced to have no choice, on the one hand, there are only more than a thousand years left in the end, and on the other hand, the "River of Eternal Darkness" is sealed by the pillar of "Tianzun", and it is impossible to try to control it...... It's too insidious, it's too much! Klein couldn't help but criticize "Tianzun" in his heart.

At this time, the dream projection of the "Goddess of the Night" continued:

"As time passes, the seals of the Western Continent are gradually weakening, and those essentia instinctively or consciously exploit the uniqueness and high-order extraordinary characteristics within their own symbolic range to indirectly erode them and affect the outside world.

"The first to seep power was the 'River of Eternal Darkness', which formed a tributary in the outside world through Gregaret in the Second Age. Later, in the Quaternary period, more essentia began to appear on the northern and southern continents and the islands of the Five Seas.

"This is an important factor behind many of the mutations in the Quaternary. ”

In the Quaternary, there are various essentia through the seal, indirectly exerting influence...... No wonder Adam said I didn't know enough about Quaternary history...... In this way, Bansey Harbor retains elven customs, and in addition to the fact that it was once an elven settlement, there are additional factors...... Klein thought for a few seconds, smiled and said:

"I kind of get it.

"That's why you've been helping me?"
