【Chapter 515】 The dust of history
"Uh...... Could it be that there is a bear child?"
All three stared at the empty stone chairs, and the other twelve were already in place, as if waiting for the last one.
"It's not like ......," Eslena whispered, "If you look closely, there are thirteen stone chairs, and the empty one is in the very center. According to common sense, the missing person should be the one with the highest status among the thirteen. Or, there is also the possibility that he is the key to initiating the whole ritual. ”
"But there are no other ghosts in the whole hall. Iruli looked around, "Could it be that there is another one hiding somewhere, and we haven't found it yet?"
"Oh my God, I'm still looking for it. ”
Iruli, who had just found the feeling of being the guide, had a sad face.
The two were discussing in a low voice, but they never heard the opinion of the 'protagonist' Hadilys, and they couldn't help but look over.
I saw Hadilis staring at the empty stone chair with a solemn face, as if she had not heard their discussion at all, and was immersed in some wonderful state.
As soon as Iluri reached out, Eslena made a silent gesture and motioned not to disturb her yet.
After a while, Hadirith gradually came back to her senses, and met Esrena and Iruli's eyes, and there was some incredulity in her eyes.
"Rena, Iruli. I heard the whisper again. ”
"Whispering?"
"Yes. Hadilith nodded slightly, "But not a whisper of pain." It's a relief, a whisper of gratitude. It seems that what we just did relieved the pain of the previous ghost. ”
That proved us the right choice, continued. ”
"There were other whispers from others, who seemed to be calling out to me, calling me to accomplish something very important. Wait, I hear the word wait. ”
"Something very important?"
"Yes, it's important. Hadilith clenched her fists and a determined expression on her face: "I don't think my instincts are wrong. What they are waiting for is me! The middle place is calling me. ”
Now, the only option for Esrena and Iluri is to respect Hadiris's instincts.
"Go ahead, listen to your instincts, and we'll be there for you no matter what happens. ”
"Hmm!"
Hadilyse took a soft breath, took a step, and walked to the central stone chair with a sense of ceremony. In front of the tall stone chair, her body was slightly petite, but the overflowing light on the stone chair brought her a sense of sacredness.
Hold the armrest of the stone chair and turn it slightly.
Under the encouraging gaze of Esrena and Illuri, Hadilith sat down on the radiant stone chair. In an instant, the light enveloped her, and after a brief pause in her thoughts, she seemed to be attracted by some kind of force and began to rise.
After crossing into a starry sky full of stars, a picture scroll full of memories slowly unfolded in the sea of her thoughts.
Fallen Lodir, the turbulent forest.
The gods are above, and the stars are below.
Hundreds of millions of years ago, a meteorite crashed into a forest with two sleeping star seekers. They come from an ancient race, so old that at the beginning of the cosmic order, they were shaped by the hands of the great true God.
When they opened the Star Secret, a vessel containing the pure souls of their fellow citizens, the life of the Star Seekers flourished in the forest, where they built the Rune Star Tower to continue the Star Seeker civilization.
Thirteen of the most eminent star-seekers, together form the Star-Seeking Society, leading the faith of the entire race.
However, they did not perceive it.
In the depths of this ancient land, evil things sleep.
Years later, thirteen of the most eminent Star Seekers decayed and fell into a slumber in the Secret of the Stars. Every once in a while, a great soul awakens, attached to the most illustrious star seekers, directing the development of the race.
Until one day, the star-seeking secret team found the bones of a huge unidentified creature in the depths of the mine. Only then did they realize that there were traces of civilization in this ancient land.
The excavated bones proved to be a large serpentine creature with two legs and wings, known to them as the Pre-Existing Dragon.
Star seekers are obsessed with mysteries, eagerly digging up traces of their previous civilizations in an attempt to unravel the mystery of their annihilation.
The modern-day Star Seeker Prophet Maladir, the first of the thirteen Prophets to descend into the Turbulent Forest, is fascinated by ancient civilizations that eventually leads him to hear the whispers of God.
The whisper continued to guide Maladiel in her search for the ultimate answer to the universe—the destination of the One True God.
She began to become obsessed, stubbornly believing that he would become the chosen one and would become the most honorable servant of God in the history of star-seeking.
The more crazy the research, the more frequent the whispering, her ideas gradually distorted.
The anomaly of the Star-Seeking Prophet attracted the attention of the other main priests of the Star-Seeking Society, and in her bewitchment, some of them followed him on the same path, while others expressed strong opposition, believing that he had been bewitched by some evil force and must be purified and return to the secret of the stars.
In the end, the contradictions between the two factions became acute and irreconcilable.
A war of faith for the starseekers has begun, and the war has lasted for decades, destroying the entire turbulent forest and the star-seeker horde beginning to wither.
The opponents are in a predicament of defeat, but one of them, stealing the secret of the stars and awakening one of the star-seekers, recounts the catastrophe of the star-seekers.
However, it was too late.
Maradiel is pregnant!
She firmly declared that the harbinger of the coming of the gods, and that she would do whatever it took to bring the gods into this world, purify all evil, solve all riddles, and make the Star Seekers the greatest race.
Despite the best efforts of the awakened star-seeking prophet to organize the birth of the fetus, it ultimately failed.
Nativity ceremony.
Maradiel, a fanatical woman, offered her last sacrifice - her life and soul.
A monster is born!
It frantically devoured the star-seeking clan, and its strength increased dramatically, and when everyone suddenly realized, the entire star-seeking clan completely became its delicious meal.
It's too late for all remorse.
After absorbing the soul of the Starseeker Clan, its power was unprecedentedly powerful, tearing apart the originally intact continent, summoning an endless void and obscuring the brilliant stars.
Every remnant of the Star Seeker knows its terrifying name.
Candusos Reta.
The awakened star-seeking prophets fled to the surface of the earth with the secret of the stars and the remnants, losing the light of the stars and the power of the stars, and their power began to degrade, and their faces began to deteriorate.
Thousands of years later, some of the Star Seekers have lost their form of terrifying underground deformities, devoid of any sanity and no different from rats that only survive and reproduce.
In the darkest of times, the awakened prophet Qaddir heard the voice of hope.
Whispers from the One True God.
It was like a last straw for Karadir to hold onto, and according to the whispered revelation, he led the last few star seekers to activate the only remaining rune star tower on the surface and open up a starry sky.
Relying on the power of the stars, the rest of the prophets in the secret of the stars have awakened one after another.
In order to save the starhunters, the Prophets initiated an ancient ritual of summoning a meteorite with the power of a powerful star and striking the Candusreta perched on the surface.
The whole of Lodir fell apart completely. The fallen Candusothreta, the corrupted blood erodes the earth and destroys all living things.
When the Prophets returned to the surface and looked at the surface of the land with the blood of corruption, they did not despair. Firm faith and courage drove them to make a final effort.
To this end, they decided to create an artifact with the Secret of the Stars at its core, which would be forged to contain the remnants of Candusreta's wreaking havoc in Lodir, and to suppress them once and for all.
It took them a thousand years!
Soul Crucible.
A massive furnace deep underground, fueled by the ore corrupted by the demonic blood of Candusleta, and fueled by the power of the stars channeled by the Rune Tower.
They then transformed the Secret of the Stars so that it could restrain the remnants of Candusosreta's soul and transfer it to the Soul Forge to purify it of its demonic energy.
After a long time, as the remnant soul poured into the soul furnace, the power gradually became stronger, and the birth of the artifact was close at hand.
However, they never thought of it.
The nightmare has just begun.
The power of Candusosreta was beyond their imagination, and it was no longer possible to purify it by relying solely on the power of the stars.
The tyrannical soul of Candusothreta has suppressed the power of the stars and redrawn its original power from the fuel of the demon's blood ore.
He's coming back to life!
The prophets, who realized all this, made a desperate decision.
They decided to return their souls to the Secret of the Stars, and with their own strong will, return to the Soul Crucible for a final battle with Candusreta.
On the day of the return ceremony, the prophets entered the secret of the stars with great courage in the sacred ceremony of activating the secret of the stars.
But what they never expected—one of them, the Awakened Prophet who was guided by whispers.
Caladir.
The soul is corrupted.
At the last moment, they understood.
All of this is a conspiracy of Candusreta, in order to complete the final evolution, it must devour all the souls of the prophets, as well as the secret of the stars, before it can use whispering means to bewitch Kaladir and awaken the secret of the stars.
Even, he did not hesitate to guide Karadir, destroying its essence.
It's a conspiracy from start to finish.
A conspiracy spanning millennia.
Just as Candusreta was about to succeed and come back to life, an unexpected change occurred.
The original corrupted prophet Maladir, whose soul was purified in the Soul Forge and realized the grave mistake he had made, drove him to reconnect with the power of the stars in the Forge and use it to escape from the Forge of Souls.
At the last moment, Maladir stopped Kaladir's madness to free Candusosreta's soul and purified Kaladir in Soul Fusion.
Kaladir, who was also mired in remorse, and Maladiel, made the final redemption of themselves.
But they knew that the remnants of Candusleta who wandered in Lodir would one day recorrupt their souls and open the mysteries of the stars to complete their final evolution.
So, they misplaced the star map of the Secret of the Stars and stored it in the shelter of the Secret Society of the Stars.
Cast by Kaladir, it casts a star repulsion on Maladiel, distorting the space around him, making it impossible to touch anything, guarding the sanctuary.
The weakened Caladir turned the secret of the stars on the podium to a crucial page, and finally chose to make an interstellar jump.
Just as they did when they came down to Dil.
It's just that there are two people when they come, and one person when they return.
Due to the suppression of the power of the outer void, her soul was damaged, and she wandered in the vast universe, leaving only the last trace of obsession.
Searching for the One True God.
Regression!
Complete their unfinished purification ritual.
