Chapter 339: Ancient and Dead (1)
Maybe for a lot of wizards, they don't have any power to have any impact on the future, those second-rate wizards, those second-rate wizards, wizards like the ridiculous Professor Quirrell, Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, they don't think about this, they don't care about the future of wizarding England, and they don't care about the decline of the wizarding world as a whole. They don't have that ability, they don't have that kind of position, and worrying about these things is just adding more troubles to themselves.
But the end will come without any mercy, whether it is an innocent child or an abominable pure-blood, they will be killed by the Lord of the Star in the coming catastrophe. Since the time of the ancient demon gods, silence has been written in the chronicles of the universe like birth, and those powerful demon gods have the ability to open the heavens and destroy the stars, but they all died under the rules of immortality.
If you can't understand the horror of destruction, you'll never know the preciousness of life. Only Xie An, who has faced the catastrophe of the end of the law, will understand how perfect the world is now.
At this time, Cedric Diggory only entered the second level, which looked completely different from the first level. This is a real ruin. These carved beams and painted buildings, these blue bricks and glazed tiles, and the palace suspended in the air, are completely like a fairy palace. Of course, the little wizards from the Western wizarding world have never seen such magnificent buildings, and in their minds, perhaps only the hanging gardens of Babylon and the legendary gardens on the banks of the Nile in Egypt can have such a magnificent sense of shock. Zhou Shang whispered: "The morning frost of the Ninefold Palace is cold, and the moon is shining on the ten-mile building. I'm afraid this is the so-called 'Asgard'!"
"Asgard, do you mean that this is the place where the legendary gods of Yuan Huaxia live?" Cedric Diggory asked, although these Western wizards knew very little about the legends of the ancient continent, but the real elites like Cedric Diggory still had a little knowledge of some Chinese civilizations, and the unique human immortal culture on the ancient continent also made them very curious.
"Yes, in the legends of Huaxia, countless strong people once longed for immortality, especially those who were powerful in the Dao system, all hoping to break through the ultimate limit and live forever. Zhou Shang looked at the far middle position, where a magnificent palace was quietly suspended in the air, and a faint cyan light was released from the main hall. After all, this is not the real Asgard, but the real underworld.
"And they succeeded?" Fleur couldn't help but ask. As a true traditional nobleman, Furong is more aware of the legends of the ancient continent, and in the family's private library, there are many records about the Huaxia continent, some of which are secret, and even the ancient continent itself has been lost.
"As far as I know, no. Zhou Shang can say this with certainty because of an extremely terrible assumption: that is, if there is really a great power to achieve eternal life, the premise must be to understand the meaning of the passage of time, and in that case, the so-called time journey must be carried out. In the history of the Far East, a genius swordsman known as an immortal once said heroically: Heaven and earth are the reverse journey of all things; Those who have passed through time have passed by for hundreds of generations. Knowing that the present is unknown, there has never been a true power who can travel in time and the future at will, and change the cause and effect of things at will. This shows from one side that at least until now, no wizard has reached the other side of the so-called freedom.
In the era after the death of the Demon God, in fact, the only thing that kept the world running was the cold rules. There is no longer any free will to change anything at will. Although the wizards are desperately trying to catch the afterglow of the Demon God Age, it is a pity that until now, the wizards are still pitifully able to master the most superficial rules, not to mention creating their own rules, and even have great difficulty understanding the existing rules and magic.
Hearing Zhou Shang's somewhat sad words, everyone fell silent for a while. For wizards, there are certainly many of them who have lofty ideals. Although most of the so-called ideals of wizards we see are engaged in some specific work to become a minister of magic, to become an Auror, or to become a magizoologist like Newt, there are also some wizards whose ideals are different from these wizards, and their ideal is to obtain the true secret of magic and understand the rules of how the world works. These wizards tend to be the least common part of the wizards.
Hermione had said that wizards were more illogical than Muggles. Gellert Grindelwald used his own example to prove that wizards were not lacking in logic, but that they were not used to Muggle logic. After decades of intense research, Gellert Grindelwald eventually combined many Muggle theories with the powerful magic he mastered to create a magical "royal" that had never been seen before.
Many of these top wizarding warriors also aspire to become scholars like Nick Lemay and obtain the elixir of life. Now hearing the secrets of these predecessors of the Far East, I can't help but feel a sense of powerlessness with a bleak future.
