One hundred and twenty-five chapters
I originally thought that the most high-grade purple item props were actually the most mysterious spiritual objects in the Nino Continent?! Even if he repeatedly determined the attributes, he knew that an item like this that directly gave the attribute could never be a joke of the system, but Ning Yuan still couldn't accept this reality for a while. The more he knew, the more he couldn't believe that outside of the nine-colored item grade of the Nino Continent, the rarest, the most difficult to obtain, and the most powerful spiritual object could be so easily in his hands.
Spiritual objects are equivalent to spiritual treasures in the mythological era, and there are several conditions that are basically needed to obtain them, whether they are congenital or acquired: power, strength, virtue, luck, and chance. forces, there is no doubt that huge forces have unparalleled advantages in intelligence and other aspects; Strength, strong strength is the guarantee of their own safety and access to Lingbao; Virtue, excellent virtue can get more potential advantages, but also can increase the probability of obtaining the recognition of the spirit treasure, there is a saying called "treasures have virtue to live in", this is not a joke in the mythological era; Luck and chance are the most important and unpredictable factors in obtaining Lingbao. And even with all the factors, it would be extremely difficult to obtain the Spirit Treasure in the Age of Mythology, even if it was the easiest to obtain the "Acquired Spirit Treasure".
What is Ning Yuan's current situation? It is an exaggeration to say that "people sit at home, and treasures come from the sky", which is equivalent to a pie falling from the sky. At least for a moment, Ning Yuan felt like this, even if it was only a part of the complete spiritual object.
Ning Yuan's memory did not contain any information about this "Source of Ice", whether it was the memory of the possession experience in the dream or the memory on the boundary line. In other words, this item was not obtained on the borderline.
Through the memory of the boundary line, Ning Yuan knew that even in the long time that "he" had reached the 52nd level of the profession, there was no news about the acquisition of spiritual objects among the player forces of the Nino Continent, and there was not even a clue that could be called it. Although it is not a question for players whether the spirit object exists, it has always been a question whether the player can obtain the spirit object.
Because at that time, there were only three aboriginal forces that clearly affirmed that they possessed spiritual objects. The three strongest city-state alliance forces in the Neno continent: the Ancient Alliance, known as the "Eight Desolations", the Terran Glorious City-State Alliance, known as the "Light of the Terrans", and the Sea Clan's Tidal Thousand Islands Alliance, known as the "King of the Four Seas".
And it is the three strongest forces in the Nino Continent, and the spiritual objects they have on the surface are only one of each. As for what? What is the effect? then no one knows.
There are countless powerful forces in the Nino Continent, but there are only three who clearly possess spiritual objects, and all of them keep the information of spiritual objects secret. This has to make players face up to the difficulty of obtaining spiritual objects and have doubts about whether players can obtain spiritual objects at all.
Ning Yuan was now certain that the player would be able to obtain the spiritual object. But questions began to arise about the difficulty of obtaining spiritual objects. Is there really only three forces in the Nino Continent that possess spiritual objects? Are spiritual objects really hard to obtain?
However, thinking carefully about his experience since entering the Nino Continent, Ning Yuan felt that perhaps there were more than the three strongest forces on the continent that possessed spiritual objects, but the difficulty of obtaining spiritual objects had indeed reached an unimaginable level.
Even though Ning Yuan had the convenience of overlapping memories of the boundary line, he had also experienced several near-deaths when he arrived here.
Although Ning Yuan used the ability of "Yesterday Dusk" to eliminate many different memories in the archive in order to successfully break through the labyrinth. But there is still a vague idea of how powerful the original "he" in memory is for his current self.
With a large number of skills, equipment, items, props and career advantages, with a full number of resurrection opportunities, he has a full number of resurrection opportunities, through hidden mountain crevices, labyrinths, and secret passages, and when he arrives at the Nameless Stele Forest, there is only one last chance to resurrect, and the props and items in the Kun bag are gone.
He was trapped once by numerous forks and natural traps in the hidden crevices of Dragon's Tooth Mountain, 5 times by the ubiquitous and insidious traps and constructed dolls in the labyrinth, and 2 deaths without memory. These two times, if Ning Yuan hadn't guessed wrong, they should have been lost in this secret passage.
Because of the loss of memory, these two deaths were not in Ning Yuan's memory, and he thought that they died in other places. But after he realizes that his memories have been erased and tampered with, he realizes that the two deaths that "he" has no memory of are likely to happen hereβin this unpredictable "safe" secret passage.
But even so, the "he" on the realm line did not obtain this spiritual artifact component "Ice Condensation Source".
And Ning Yuan, with the help of the 'Yesterday Dusk' ability that 'he' on the realm line didn't have, and the "Ice Condensation Source" that he had narrowly escaped several times was only a part of the complete spiritual object.
Although Ning Yuan is a newcomer to the Nino Continent, he does not have any strength and power, and he is not representative. But you can still get a glimpse of the leopard and foresee the difficulty of obtaining a complete spiritual object.
However, after carefully looking through the archived memories, Ning Yuan had a very intuitive feeling. That is, "maybe the two boundaries do overlap to some extent, but they are not the same world after all." β
In other words, the archived memories kept by Ning Yuan were already in a basically useless state after the previous consumption. Because of the difference in the boundary line, Ning Yuan could no longer ensure the accuracy of the overlapping memory. The treasure chest that didn't exist in the labyrinth, the illusion test that shouldn't have appeared, the "unknown orb" and the "unknown lamp" that might not have existed in the secret passage, all seemed to prove that Ning Yuan had unknowingly walked into the unknown.
Perhaps from the beginning of the establishment of the character to open the talent test, the two realms that should have been highly overlapping have already parted ways in Ning Yuan's choice.
As his thoughts turned, Ning Yuan looked at the achievements and mandatory tasks in the system log.
"Achievement: Ice Warden (Provisional): An achievement available to all players who have earned 'Source of Ice'. Players who fully combine the spirit artifact 'Ice Ancestral Land' will receive the full achievement 'Ice Warden' and the title 'Ice Restarter'. β
"Mission: Mystery of the Ice: Mandatory Mission. Mission Class: Unknown. Mission Description: All players who obtain 'Source of Ice' will be forced to trigger this quest. Find and decipher the mystery of the disappearance of the secret race 'Ice Clan'. Requirements: Step 1: Collect 9 'Ice Sources' to obtain the complete spirit object 'Ice Ancestral Land'. Mission Time Limit: None. β
"There's so little information." Looking at the task description in the journal, Ning Yuan muttered, "But I finally found a clue that my memory would be erased." β
In Ning Yuan's opinion, his memory will be erased and tampered with by the system, and it is almost certain that it is related to the information of this secret race, the 'Ice Condensing Clan'. The "he" on the realm line is definitely a memory that was erased only after coming into contact with relevant information. Although it is not known where "he", who did not obtain the spirit component and the mandatory mission, came into contact with the information.
"Ice Clan?" Ning Yuan looked at the humanoid figure in the crystal ball again, "The hidden race that disappeared from the Nino Continent. Now that it has been contacted, it must not be erased from the memory this time. β
After checking the description of the permissions of "Regeneration", Ning Yuan put away all his thoughts after checking the description of the permissions of "Regeneration", except that this should be the relevant permissions of the "Regeneration" new race plan prompted by the system when establishing the character.
"Now let me concentrate on the next test." In order not to be silently erased from the memory of the secret passage, for the spiritual component "Ice Condensation Source", and for the clue of the complete spiritual object "Ice Condensing Ancestral Land", Ning Yuan already planned to completely give up all other distractions and interference in the "hunger" state displayed on the character panel, and devote himself to the tests that may arise in the secret passage in the future.
Walking into the straight secret passage at the other end, under the shroud of the soft light of ice blue, Ning Yuan did not feel any discomfort. The ice-blue light did not produce a cold feeling as Ning Yuan had expected.
On the contrary, Ning Yuan, who had originally walked into the ice-blue secret passage in a tense and solemn atmosphere, unconsciously relaxed his body and mind while walking, and his whole body was shrouded in a wordless tranquility and pleasure. It seems that there is a mysterious power in this ice-blue passage that can completely relax. The originally cautious and nervous expression on Ning Yuan's face slowly became soft and relaxed after stepping into the passage.
About a hundred meters later, Ning Yuan saw some murals-like pictograms on the ice-blue walls on both sides of the silent and peaceful passage.
After careful observation, Ning Yuan determined that it was indeed a mural, and it was a mural about a certain period of history.
In the mural, Ning Yuan saw the figures of nine races, seven of which Ning Yuan knew through some information even if he hadn't seen them in the Nino Continent with his own eyes. For example, the Titan Clan, the Spirit Pattern Clan, and the Jingling Clan.
In addition to these three races, there are also the kittens, the humans, and the greenskins on the mural. The last race that Ning Yuan knew was the Ice Burning Clan as shown by the "Source of Ice".
There are also two races that Ning Yuan doesn't know, and they should be the same race that has disappeared as the Ning Ice Clan.
One of the races resembles humans, appearing to be slightly larger than humans, but with two hands and four arms. The extra pair of arms seemed to be in the position under the ribs, and the pattern was a little abstract, and Ning Yuan was not sure.
There was another race at the moment he saw it, and Ning Yuan felt that this race might be related to the "unknown lamp" in Kunbao.
The frescoes depict a man and a woman, the size of a human, and the appearance seems to be similar to that of a human, but both men and women have a lamp on their shoulders. The style is similar to the "unknown lamp" in Ning Yuankun's bag.
There is no text or similar text on the mural, and the content seems to be somewhat disorganized. One moment is the scene of the life of each race, the other is the scene of the sacrifice of several races, the other is the war between each other, and the other is the picture of several races uniting together.
After carefully examining the murals on the two walls, Ning Yuan seemed to have some understanding: these nine races originally lived in different regions, humans lived in the plains, the kitten clan lived in the mountains and forests, the ice condensing clan lived by the lake, the earth spirit clan lived in the underground world, and the titan clan lived in the canyon of thunder and lightning. The Jiao and Lingwen tribes live between mountains, forests and lakes, and the Jingling tribe lives on a plain that seems to be an ancient battlefield. As for why it is said to be an ancient battlefield? Because Ning Yuan saw many hieroglyphic symbols symbolizing battle and death, broken spears and broken flags on the etched murals.
Although they live in different regions, the object of worship seems to be the same for each tribe, and that is the sun. All the frescoes of the sacrifice have a round of eclipse like the sun on the previous stone door. Even if it is the Earth Spirit Clan living in the underground world, the Jingling Clan of the Ancient Battlefield and the Titan Clan that should be Wanlei Gorge are the same.
Although there are some doubts, it does not seem to be incomprehensible.
And then it seems that there was a war for various reasons. There are human and kitten people, there are kitten people and horn people, there are human people and spirit pattern people, there are also titan people and ice condensing people...
There seems to have been wars between the tribes, and then wars of union. For example, there is a mural of the Terrans, the Kitty Clan, and the Ice Clan, uniting against the Titans and the Spirit Pattern Clan; The other is a war between the Terrans, the Jingling Race, the unknown four-armed race and the Ice Clan, the race with the lamp on their shoulders, and the Titans.
The scale of the war seems to have been expanding, and the sights of human beings can be felt in simple murals. And the cause of the war is unknown, maybe it is resources, maybe it is land.
It wasn't until Ning Yuan saw a person on a mural that the content on the mural had a new change.
The people on the mural appear to be Terran. In the front, because of the obvious characteristics of each race, Ning Yuan was able to tell which races it was, and the image of "human" on this painting was very vague, as if it was hidden in a fog, and Ning Yuan couldn't determine which of the humanoid races it was. However, Ning Yuan tends to be a human race.
The contents of the subsequent murals also seemed to support Ning Yuan's speculation.
I saw that this "person" first appeared in the underground world of the Earth Spirit Clan, and seemed to have discussed something with the important people of the Earth Spirit Clan, and then went to meet the Kitten Clan with the representatives of the Earth Spirit Clan, and it seemed to have been tested here, and then went to meet the Spirit Pattern Clan and the Horn Clan with the representatives of the Earth Spirit Clan and the Kitten Clan, and with the footsteps of the "people", representatives of one race after another joined in, during which the content on the mural would be a negotiation, a test, a fight, or a competition or a small war, etc., and finally the "person" It seems that the other eight races were finally convinced, and then the representatives of the nine races performed the sacrifice together on a huge hilltop altar. The object of the sacrifice seems to be the sun, and it seems to be the "sky".
At the end of the mural, the last two frescoes show a giant city on the plain. In the penultimate painting, in the center of the giant city stands the "man", next to it are the representatives of the eight tribes, and outside the giant city, groups of people of various tribes gather like ants; The final scene shows the cities around the giant city, and the people of the nine races live together with smiling faces. In the center of the mural is a flag floating over the giant city, which is painted with a pattern symbolizing the sun.
"This is the history of a country?!" After sorting out all the contents of the mural in his mind, Ning Yuan muttered with some indescribable feeling: "Originally, there used to be a country on the Neno Continent, and it was a unified country with multi-racial integration. β
