Chapter 4: The Battle of the Ages (II)

Savasein did not answer his disciple's doubts, reached out and opened the sealed box, only to see that in the box, there was a piece of blue crystal, which was constantly shining outward.

'What is this?' Such a small object can exude such a powerful force? Tardarin looked in disbelief at the crystal in front of him, which was not much bigger than a fingernail.

'Unbelievable, this is just a crystal fragment, is this what you said, teacher, a holy object that can prove the existence of the gods?' Arden looked in amazement at the crystal that had been taken out by Savasein, and having seen countless technological creations, he could easily tell that it was a natural crystal fragment without any traces of man-made existence, yes, it was just a fragment.

That's right, this is the holy thing that proves the existence of the gods, and according to the high priest, it was struck by a bird that fell from the sky during a sacrifice, and the crystal shard was contained in the bird's beak. Savasein used psionic energy to ingest the crystal shard into his hand and let it spin slowly to better display it to his students.

When I received the fragment from the High Priest, it did not radiate as much light and power as it does now, but then I had the whimsical idea to inject my psionic energy into it, and since then the fragment has been shining ever since, and the High Priest told me that he had also tried to inject the psionic energy, but it was like a mud ox into the sea, and nothing happened, and then he excitedly asked me if I wanted to worship him as a teacher. ’

Speaking of this, Savasein smiled slightly, "You all know what is next, and what makes me firm that the gods exist is not only that, after I infuse the power into the crystal, I feel as if my consciousness has come to a golden ocean, and in the ocean there is a powerful consciousness sleeping. ’

Savasein's eyes shone brightly: 'It must be the sleeping gods, and I can feel the love and tenderness that comes from that consciousness, which comes from the closeness of the soul, like a Buddha returning to the mother's body, and just as I was about to indulge, the crystal brought my consciousness back. ’

After saying that, Savasein sighed again, "But unfortunately, since then, I have never been able to return to the state I was in at that time, no matter how much psionic energy I entered, the gods did not respond to my request, but my power has become stronger under the influence of this crystal." When the High Priest found out, he comforted me, most likely because it was just a fragment of crystal, and if I could find more fragments or a complete crystal, I would be able to contact the gods again. ’

After listening to the teacher's words, the two disciples fell into deep thought, and Tardarin first came back to his senses: "But teacher, wouldn't this be too ethereal. ’

Arden said, "Yes, teacher, is it too risky for you to choose this path where you can't see the results just because of an unreproducible perception." ’

'Alas, Arden, Tardarin, you will not be able to empathize with me until you have come into contact with that great consciousness, and I can tell you with certainty that the darkness is approaching, and we have no power to resist now, since the gods have chosen me to carry out this mission, even if this path does not bear fruit, even if this path is illusory, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, it is worth my life to fight for, and what is it to sacrifice me for the sake of our common future. Savasein put away the floating crystal and placed it back in the box, but he didn't notice that after he put the crystal back in the box, the inside of the crystal seemed to flicker a few times.

Arden and Tardarin looked at each other and got down on one knee at Savathane: 'Dear teacher, if this is your mission, allow us to follow in your footsteps, we will always follow you, for our common future, EN TARO Savasein (honorific, roughly meaning to pay tribute to you)'

Savasein stretched out his hand to help his two disciples: 'I am glad that you still believe in me, and I am glad that I have a successor, and I believe that our efforts will not be in vain, and that we will one day be able to break through the darkness and bring a bright future to our race. ’

Since then, Savasein and his two disciples have left the capital and begun to investigate the places with ancient legends, trying to obtain sacred relics such as crystal shards from these places, but often they have failed to do so, and instead have broken the rumors and superstitions in many places, but Savasein has never given up, he has always believed that he will find hope.

At the same time, the Fanged King, who had returned to his own territory, learned about the temptation of his secret method to these people from a rebellious general, and sure enough, he began to spread his evil methods on a large scale.

All of a sudden, the dark tide within the Empire of Light was surging, although the empire ordered that anyone was forbidden to discuss, spread, and practice such evil skills, but there were always some people who were desperate and refused to give up at the end of their lives took the first step.

But the good times didn't last long, and five hundred years later, the secret method spread by the Fanged King began to expose its shortcomings, and the evil affected the will of those cultivators, and they began to become murderous, evil, and unscrupulous.

The Empire thought that there was something wrong with the secret method spread by the Fanged King, so they gathered all their armies and brought the latest weapons to attack the Blood Empire, and with the help of stronger warriors and a so-called nuclear weapon, they broke through the royal capital of the Blood Empire in one fell swoop.

The Fanged King sat on his throne, and under the influence of the evil forces, he grew ears, nose and mouth, and was very different from the others, which is why he did not appear in front of people, and now he was holding a glass of wine made of blood, laughing at the armies that slaughtered into his palace.

"Fanged King, you have failed, hurry up and hand over the true method, otherwise I will make your life worse than death." The commander wielded a sword that glowed red, and walked in front of the Fanged King.

"Hehe, I really didn't expect that the Empire of Light, known as the land of gods, would abandon their faith and choose the same path as me, it's ridiculous" The Fanged King smiled and took a sip of wine.

"Shut up! Demons, we are not you, we will kill innocent people, there is no right or wrong in the power itself, as long as you obediently hand over the real secret method, we will consider letting you live. ”

The Fanged King laughed and threw down his wine glass, blood splattered on the general's robe, "Hahahaha, it's ridiculous, where did the real secret method come from, it's just your wishful thinking." ”

The Fanged King stretched out his hand and pulled the corner of the general's clothes, brushed the general's reddened eyes with his other hand, approached the general and whispered softly, "Soon, you will enjoy the pleasure of this killing just like me, admit it, you have no way back!" Anger, fear, all things will eventually surrender ... ”

The blood-red sword pierced the Fanged King's body, and the red-eyed general left the Fanged King's palace, and soon the entire palace was buried in flames.

As the Fanged King said, the Empire of Light fell into an unprecedented crisis without obtaining the "real" secret method, and after killing all the captives, the army that broke through the Blood Empire soon became the first fire in the destruction of the Empire of Light.

Chaos is spreading, evil is spreading, the Empire of Light, which wiped out the Blood Empire, not only did not restore peace to the continent, but instead led to the danger of everyone, rebellions arose one after another, the entire empire fell apart, countless lives became sacrifices of others, and many innocent people joined this bloody feast in order to protect their families, and finally everything sank.

Huge mushroom clouds rose all over the planet's surface, dazzling light devouring life in one place after another, and Savasein knew that needless pain and sorrow could not save his people, and that darkness had enveloped the planet.

In the past five hundred years, he has watched the empire step by step into ruin, while his party has traveled all over the planet but has never found anything, and the increasingly harsh environment of the outside world has forced him to return to the land of the gods, the last afterglow of this empire of light.

Another five hundred years, the Empire of Light has completely fallen, order has been far away, chaos and evil have descended, and the surviving people are hiding in the wilderness and forests, no longer living in groups.

People who have fallen into madness in cultivating secret methods have fought each other, and gradually they have lost their voices, and the whole civilization has begun to regress, people no longer trust each other, and the wild animals affected by radiation have become more brutal, and people's survival has become more and more difficult.

Savasein led his disciples to live in the Tianzhu Mountain, and in the past thousand years, he has traveled all over the planet without finding a trace, but he has found hope in the land of miracles.

After carefully exploring every inch of Tianzhu Mountain, guided by the crystal fragments, Savasein finally discovered a hidden cave, and in the cave, he found a crystal about one meter high.

The moment they saw this crystal, Savasein and his party couldn't help but burst into tears, this was the hope of their clan, and they finally found it.

The rest of the year was the continuous study of this crystal by the three of them, and through this crystal, Arden and Tardarin also saw the great consciousness, and they could not help but admire the wisdom of the teacher.

There was no time in the mountains, and I don't know how long it was, but suddenly one day, Savasein excitedly announced to his disciples that he had found a way to use the crystal.

This crystal that he named the Kaidarin Relic really has a mysterious connection with the great gods, through this holy relic, he can strengthen the spiritual connection between the clansmen, so that they can connect with each other, and as long as the hearts of all people are linked together, they can attract the original power of the divine realm, purify the darkness in people's hearts, strengthen their spiritual power, and even awaken the sleeping gods with this, and this new path of cultivation is named the path of Kara by him.

In the next thousand years, Savasein and his party wandered around the devastated land, and through the promotion of the Kara Way, more and more people came together, connected to each other, understood each other, evil and chaos gradually faded away, and a new dawn had arrived.
