Chapter 19: A Desert City
"You've woken up sooner than I thought," Rega said gently, looking at the tame Kitten-like Hull, "It seems that I still underestimated your potential - a descendant of the royal blood of the Snow Ape, and even in the age of the gods, your appearance is enough to cause a sensation." β
Hull let out a low roar in response to his master's words.
"You're too tired," Rhaegar gently stroked the snow ape's soft hair, who was now exhausted from the exertion of strength, "but don't worry, we'll be home soon." "But until then, we'll have to let those who take advantage of the fire get the punishment they deserve." β
A wave of space like a ripple of water appeared in the air as he spoke, and when the wave disappeared, a huge bone dragon stood in front of Rhaeggar.
"No!" Suddenly, the bone dragon who had returned from the escape quickly figured out his situation, and shouted at Rhaegar in a loud voice: "Don't be impulsive, we may be able to have a good talk, I have nearly 100,000 strong and 'elite' men, I have a vast territory rich in resources, all this can be ...... for you"
Thin threads of energy silently swept across his neck, and the bone dragon's huge head fell to the ground, and his heavily protected soul core was suddenly outside, and before he could make any moves, another silk thread had already penetrated that core.
"Thank you, but I just want your life. Rhaegar said lightly to the consciousness of the bone dragon that had not yet dissipated, and then waved his hand again, and the Skeleton King and the Zombie King, who had just been summoned back in the same way, instantly turned into two scattered ashes.
"We're home," Rhaegar didn't seem to take to heart the destruction of the four *** undead as he turned to Hull and said in a gentle tone, "You can sleep as long as you want." "When you wake up," he said, "I promise, you'll be pleasantly surprised." β
Sinking his mind into the boundless sea of souls, Rhaegar allowed his consciousness to wander aimlessly inside his soul, and at this time, he had completely entered a mysterious and indescribable realm, and his whole body and mind seemed to have become one with the universe. The rules governing the operation of the universe flashed before his eyes, some of them seemed unattainable, which he did not have the strength to grasp at present, some of which were just fleeting, which were incompatible with his current 'nature', and some of which, when he concentrated his 'spirit', became as if they were static, and continuously transmitted the mysteries to him in an indescribable wayβ Even among the forbidden mages, there are only a few people who can comprehend the rules of the universe in this way, and in this state, Rhaegar is like a dry sponge, greedily and efficiently absorbing every drop of water that can be obtained.
Countless firefly-like highlights surrounded his body soaked in the water of life, an aggregate of countless primordial energies, and while comprehending the rules, Rhaegar did not forget his old friend, and the kind and friendly messages reverberated between the two. As this 'exchange' deepens, more and more primordial energies join in, influencing the water of life in their own way, making these liquids full of life energy more efficient in improving Rhaegar's 'flesh' body.
This was his second year after surviving the qualification test, and for the past two years, he had spent most of his time in this state, except for the day-to-day affairs and the occasional trip to Blackstone Island for experiments- With Thork's help, Rhaegar and the team were completely freed from the heavy work of crafting, the Orb of Origin that was second only to the Talking Passion for Creation had taken over all the work, and now the only thing he had to do was plant a servile contract for the Seekers once they were created, and in return, all he had to pay was to listen to Sock's seemingly never-ending conversation at all times.
A thought approached the cordon that Rhaegar had set up on the periphery of his soul, and he quickly sensed the presence of the other party, and the next moment, Rhaegar opened his eyes, woke up from his fugue, and then stepped out of the secret room, and a few seconds later, he appeared in the huge 'cave' of Black Rock Island.
"Is he waking up?" Rhaegar asked, looking at Hel, who was lying asleep in a pool filled with water of life.
"You know, he wasn't in good shape. Zuck's voice sounded directly in Rhaeggar's head, as it said itself, after mastering Rhaeggar's 'spirit' spirit frequency, as long as it wants, it can 'communicate' with the other party at any time, "Despite having the blood of the Snow Ape Royal Family, he didn't fully gain his own power when he rushed to rescue you, but only forcibly broke through the restrictions you set for him under the call of duty triggered by the brand of loyalty." Although this breakthrough could make him awaken early, it put his body and soul under great pressure, and under normal circumstances, he would have been asleep for at least a hundred years. β
"But don't worry about it now," Sock continued, "with the great Sock here, don't worry, I've healed all his injuries - and of course, your vital fluids play a role." β
Rhaegar had long been accustomed to Thorke's habit of taking the lion's credit, "Just healing the wound?" he asked, seemingly slightly disappointed, "You know, there's more to me than I expect from him. β
"Of course it's not just that," Sock was visibly unhappy with the other party's contempt, "Actually, no one but me can do what you ask for, although it takes a lot of effort - he has now evolved to the prime of life, which means that you have an assistant who can use spells unique to the beasts." β
"I'm so excited," Rhaegar said sincerely, "I don't know how to repay you for what you've done for me. β
"As the only intelligent creature that has been able to 'communicate' with me for tens of thousands of years," Sock said, "talk to me more." β
"No problem," Rhaegar said calmly, "I'd love to do that." "In previous conversations, unless Rhaegar actively shielded his 'spirit' spirit, Sock could keep talking, and no matter what Rhaegar was doing, even if he was meditating or dealing with important matters, as long as he didn't deliberately block it, this Primordial Bead could always transmit his thoughts to his mind.
A wave of 'spirit' and 'spirit' gently touched the soul cordon set up by Rhaegar, which relieved him in time. "There's news from the Seekers," he said, and his whole mind sank into the sea of souls and began to communicate with the Seekers who sent the message back.
"We've found the place on the map. An emotionless voice spoke to Rhaegar and sent back the information he had received. With Thork's help, the Explorers produced are so intelligent that they are even able to have simple conversations with their mastersβjust in the same style as sorcery-crafted puppets.
It was an endless desert, and as far as the eye could see, it was full of yellow 'colors' that seemed to have no end. Far away, where heaven and earth meet, a black spot that contrasts greatly with its surroundings catches Rhaegar's attention, and as the explorers move, the black dot gets closer and larger, and finally, a tall and majestic city appears before his eyes.
"This is it. While seeing this city, a throbbing came to Rhaegar's heart, and in the aura of the ancient and mysterious city that was 'revealed' everywhere, he clearly felt the 'waves' of his soul that he was extremely familiar with. "Tell me where it is," Rhaegar said to the Explorer, "Don't come near until I get there." β
"You look like you've finally got a catch. "Rhaegar has not been able to hide his relationship with the Explorer, and in fact, he has never been able to hide his secret from the other party - this Orb of Origin is perfectly capable of sensing the differences in his soul and can easily deduce his identity from those differences, and in order to be helped by it, Rhaegar must be honest with him. "If you want to go there, I suggest you wait a little longer, and when that snow ape fully wakes up, his talent for space will save you quite a bit of time. β
"That's exactly what I thought," Rhaegar said.
For the people living on the continent of Sata, the continent where Rhaegar is located, it was obviously too far away from them by at least tens of millions of kilometers by sea, even for Rhaeggar. If it weren't for the help of the snow ape, who was born to travel freely through space, he might have taken a long time to get here, and now, with the help of the passage created by Hel's tearing space, in just half a minute, they were already on this continent that was only one-tenth the size of Sata.
Walking silently through the streets of the city, Rhaegar looked at the environment of the continent known to the locals as Said, and found that the clothing, customs, and language were strikingly similar to Sata, and if it weren't for the relatively hot climate, any Sata would have mistakenly thought that he was still on his home continent.
This is not uncommon in both mortal and other dimensions, and is a product of the gods' domination of the universe: the same beliefs have given intelligent beings of different races and regions a common basis of civilization, they use the common language handed down by the gods, their customs and behaviors are all based on the texts of the gods, and to a large extent, all the followers of the gods live according to the same pattern provided by the gods. Even after countless years of the fall of the gods, the power of tradition has kept these patterns alive in quite a few places, even though people no longer believe in them.
