Starfall 833, September 3rd, noon, cloudy. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The Sacred Mountain of the Far Sea, the central temple area, the temporary square.

Hundreds of Divine Construct Puppets were carrying earth and stone back and forth, clearing out the rectangular square with a radius of hundreds of meters in the ruins. The square was wide open, and the ruined temples and the golden light shrouds around them could be seen, and the towering temple ceilings were filled with a divine light mist, and runes flew out of it one after another, and then merged into the light shroud.

Since that battle, the dragon has not harassed the Church of the Seven Gods again. There are many reasons for this, but the biggest one is that the Five-Colored Dragons have found that they are no longer able to break through the Holy Mountain.

Pope Eagle as the strongest on the continent is not claimed by humans alone, it is a fact recognized by all races in the entire Microf world, and the three legendary dragons dare to fight with them by virtue of their numerical superiority, but the appearance of the Mentor of Nature and Israel is completely out of their plans.

The Holy Mountain, which now has three legendary powerhouses, can almost be called 'indestructible', and even if the legendary dragons try their best to entangle them, after losing the Ember Sword, the remaining dragons will not be able to break through the defenses of the Central Temple area.

As a result, the long-lost calm of Eda Gray Island was ushered in, the dragon no longer even blocked the sea route, and the first reinforcements from the Far South Kingdom had arrived at the temporary port on the eastern side of the Holy Mountain - the original port had collapsed in the earthquake due to the power of the Ember Blade to change the terrain, so a sea port could only be temporarily built by divine magic.

The temporary plaza was designed to house the large quantities of supplies brought by the reinforcements. The puppets that had been used for war put down their swords, armed themselves with shovels, and began to carry out large-scale rebuilding work on the ground, and their efficiency was unexpectedly good, causing many priests to consider the possibility of completely transforming them into engineering golems.

Saya stood at the top of a temple near the plaza, leaning against the pillars at the top of the temple and giving remote commands to the puppets at the bottom.

Since the return of the exploration team from the Abyss of Anoth, the original trio of the Church have quickly moved to different positions, with Lolanda and Robzek both assigned to the Northwest Defense Line as commanders, while she is responsible for controlling the magic puppets and supporting the desperate defense lines.

It's an unusually mentally draining job, giving orders to hundreds, if not thousands, of magic puppets at once, and fine-tuning their formations against all kinds of dragon beasts, which is not an easy job for Saya as a golden powerhouse, let alone working for weeks on end. But the war didn't give her time to complain, and Saya wasn't that kind of person, she did her job perfectly, rescuing dozens of emergency temples, and this dutiful act was rewarded by the church—from now on, all the two hundred and thirty-three magic puppets in the square belonged to her.

Although these puppets do not fit Saya's aesthetics...... But at least the puppet won't betray! In this regard, the great nun who has been psychologically traumatized is still very pleased.

"It looks like the Holy Mountain needs to be completely rebuilt." Sure that her puppets were working according to plan, Saya nodded, and she looked around, looking down from above the temple.

Saya was able to 'see' the surrounding clusters of shrines, golden light covering them and circulating a divine aura. However, while it may seem fine at a glance, the walls of each temple are cracked, the stone roads that connect the temples are all shattered, and many of the stone monuments and pillars along the road have crumbled and cracked, leaving only fragments of the walls.

Although the dragon did not completely conquer the holy mountain, it did destroy nearly eighty percent of the buildings on the surface, only the inner circle of the core of the central temple area and the holy mountain itself were not affected, according to the judgment of the great nun, after the five-colored dragon clan retreated, the church will definitely carry out large-scale reconstruction work, at that time, she with many magic puppets may be busier than now, even during the war.

"That's fine, those old-fashioned buildings on the Holy Mountain were originally built little by little over the millennium, and there was no reasonable planning at all...... Starting from scratch will definitely be better than before. ”

Just as Saya was thinking about how the Holy Mountain should be rebuilt in the future, a white light suddenly lit up in the sky, and the Grand Nun looked up at the sky in surprise, and she saw that with the peak of the Holy Mountain as the reference point, the dark clouds over the far sea began to disperse rapidly, and the dazzling sunlight swept towards the place where the wild dragons gathered in the distance like a rapidly expanding pillar of light.

But what was shocking was that the dragon legions, who had been silent for several days and had not come to attack the Gray Island, actually dispersed like a foam version under the sunlight, turning into pieces of broken light chips.

"No, it's really an illusion!" Just by 'looking' at it from a distance, Saya clearly understood that those lifelike dragons were indeed just illusions, not only that, but the dragons hidden in the clouds and high in the sky had all disappeared, and the dragon legions that had besieged the holy mountain for dozens of days were all replaced by illusions in silence, and the main body had long since disappeared!

"Hmph."

A cold snort with a slight anger came from the top of the sacred mountain, echoing throughout the sea and sky: "Coward. ”

But the great nun exhaled slightly, as if some boulder had fallen in her heart.

At least, there is no need to fight now.

It seems that the five-colored dragon clan knew that they could not break through the Holy Mountain, so they evacuated the main force during the period when they rescued the wounded and reorganized the defense line in the Holy Mountain, and it is no wonder why the support fleet of the Far South Kingdom came to the Gray Island without the slightest hindrance. In this way, the dragon plague that originally ravaged the southern part of the entire continent will be terminated due to the defeat of this battle, and it is impossible for the temporarily withdrawn dragon legion to turn back to support those remaining dragon beasts on the Far South continent, and the kingdom's army will wipe them out one by one.

But this is not the end, everyone knows that the decisive battle that unfolded on the Holy Mountain before is just a tiger's tail, and the mad dragon army that withdrew because of the three legendary powerhouses still has the ability to break through any country and federation in the southern continent, and they have not lost their core vitality, and they still have the strength to fight again.

Joshua understands this, too.

At the entrance of the main temple at the top of the sacred mountain, warriors stood on the edge of the suspended temple, looking out at the sparkling sea in the distance.

The development of all this can be said to be completely different from the previous life - the dragon disaster in the previous life occurred in 834 years of Starfall, the powerful dragon army invaded most of the territory of the Far South Kingdom, the adjacent business alliance, the elf gathering place and the insect nest also suffered great losses, and the main force of the dragon army almost broke through the holy mountain, until Pope Eagle defeated the three-headed legendary dragon, and the seven gods also defeated the five-colored dragon god to the boundless heaven, and the incarnation of the saint ended.

Although the dragon army was scattered, it coincided with the arrival of the first wave of demons, and the violent magic fluctuations that swept the entire world made all the beasts irritable, and even prompted the rebellion of the scattered dragons, which further aggravated the dragon calamity.

It can be said that before this, the so-called dragon calamity was nothing more than a planned and step-by-step invasion of the five-colored dragon clan, a war, and after that, it was a calamity similar to the beast tide.

But now, because the three legendary powerhouses gathered in the Holy Mountain, Joshua himself foiled the other party's conspiracy to destroy the defense line of the temple, and the five-colored dragon clan saw that the frontal battlefield was no longer dominant, so they did not force it to fight, but retreated to the unknown region. In this way, the intensity of the war could not reach the point of attracting the intervention of the gods, and the great demon tide had not yet come, and the scattered dragon beasts on the continent did not go any further, and the deviation from the orbit was extremely huge.

It can be said that the rate of change in the world line is definitely more than 1, because the intensity of the war is not high, the five-colored dragon god did not fight with the seven gods of the human race, and the mad dragon army was not scattered, but only retreated, and the holy mountain and the priests of the church of the seven gods did not suffer great losses. Whether this is good or bad, the warrior does not know, but in any case, all this has nothing to do with him.

For he was now preparing to return to the Northland.

Joshua had been chatting with the three legendary powerhouses for some time before Israel dispelled the clouds and revealed the fact that the dragon had retreated, and the warrior and Lolanda explained their experiences in the world of Ilgena to the Lady of Nature, the Grand Druid, formerly known as Edrith Garanord, and believed them after the long-named Nature Mentor confirmed that the two were not lying.

When the Father of Nature sent Joshua and the others away, he closed the space-time passage, but the traces of space-time at the bottom of the Great Ajax Volcano were still there, and it was naturally impossible for the elves to give up the possibility of finding their father. You know, even now, the belief in the Father of Nature is still widespread among the elven tribes, and although most of the elves except the druids only use it as part of their oral beliefs and culture, it can be seen that the influence of the Father of Nature is so deep that it has not been lost thousands of years later.

The Nature Mentor said that she would personally lead a team to the Northlands in a few months to survey the traces of time and space beneath the Great Ajax volcano in order to determine the location of the world of Ilgena, and before that, she advised Joshua to return to her territory to rest and make sure that no one destroyed the traces left behind the space-time passage - if all was true, she would give the warrior a great gift.

Whether it is Pope Eagle, Israel or the warrior himself, they all feel that this is a good suggestion - it is obvious that the situation on the Holy Mountain is gradually becoming clearer, there is a legendary powerhouse pressing the formation, and Joshua does not need to stay here, for his help, Eagle temporarily expressed his verbal gratitude, and the specific reward will be sorted out later because the Holy Mountain is still being rebuilt.

At this time, the three legendary powerhouses were discussing matters related to the five-colored dragon clan in the main hall, while the warriors came to the outside of the main hall with the god machine siblings, Hei, the first number, and the sad-looking Suralno, waiting for the teleportation later.

Soon after, the long-lost elven boy Ciel and the sea dragon lady Fina also appeared at the door of the main hall, and when they saw the warrior group, they smiled and greeted their former comrades.

The two of them came to the Great Temple, also to wait for teleportation, and they were invited by the Church of the Seven to explore the abyss of Anos, and they also participated in the war with the dragon later, and they could sense that the strength of the elf boy had improved significantly after a series of bitter battles, and it seemed that he had touched the edge of the golden barrier. Because of this, Ciel seemed to be in a good mood, and he and Fina stood by talking and laughing, as if discussing how to narrate this adventure to his companions after returning to the Eastern Sea Dragon Knights.

In September, when the warm autumn wind blew and the sun was shining brightly, Joshua withdrew his gaze from the sea, which was already empty, without the slightest trace of the dragon, and looked back at the large group behind him.

This exploration and adventure to the Far South can be regarded as coming to an end, and he has gained a lot and changed a lot. Looking at the smiling faces of Hotaru, Rin and Kuro, and then at Hatsu and Suralno, who had a strong fighting spirit, the warrior felt that this trip was worthwhile, both in terms of strength and mood.

After a while, footsteps came from inside the main hall.

The white-haired old man walked out of the main hall, and Pope Eagle smiled at the group gathered at the door of the main temple.

This time, the Holy Mountain was able to deal with the attack of the dragon at such a small cost, precisely because of the group of people in front of him. If it weren't for the Time Exploration Team that sealed the abyssal rift in the Abyss of Anos and repelled the army of demon-blooded dragons in the Blood Moon Abyss, then perhaps a group of raging abyssal dragons would have been added to the five-colored dragons besieging the Holy Mountain this time. If it weren't for Joshua who was the first to discover that there was something wrong with the red dragon holding the artifact sword, then the priests of the Holy Mountain would have suffered at least thousands, or even more than 10,000 casualties.

Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but turn his head to look at the warrior. Maybe he could already tell him that there was news about the fourth sage lineage, Eagle thought.

But in the end, he still didn't say anything, and the old pope planned to wait until the Holy Mountain was rebuilt and everything was free, and then tell Joshua the news.

For now, let him rest a little longer.

"I can see that you are also in a hurry to go back, so I won't talk nonsense."

Looking around at everyone present, Eagle said in a deep voice, "Ready, everyone, the teleportation is about to begin." ”

Teleportation was something that had been notified a long time ago, so there was no need to say more.

Joshua, Sal and the others naturally said that they were ready, and at the same time, the Nature Mentor and Israel also walked out of the main hall, and the two legendary powerhouses glanced at everyone silently, looking also in a good mood.

The faint blue light quietly bloomed under the surging holy light, and two space-time passages leading to different places appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and after saying goodbye to each other, Joshua and Sal and the others stepped into different space-time passages and returned to their hometowns.

One step out, entering the teleportation channel, the feeling of time and space being reversed and chaotic hit, and at this moment, the warrior suddenly felt something, he closed his eyes, and used his soul to 'look' at the endless void around him.

The divinity silently diverged, connecting all kinds of information in the fluctuations of time and space.

In the void, there were several huge and incomparably large beings, as if they were the embodiment of endless beings, and they gathered in one place, as if they were waiting, watching out for something. In these huge existences, Joshua sensed several familiar auras, including the god of power and the god of life, but what surprised him the most was the five-colored dragon god with a faint trace of abyssal aura.

The gods of the five-colored dragon clan and the seven gods of the human race and several other gods who set off the dragon calamity and invaded the Far South Continent actually did not fight each other, but watched out for something together?!

Before he had time to think about anything more, the teleportation was over, and when the warrior opened his eyes, he found himself in front of the lord's mansion in the Moldavian Territory of the Northland, the main city of his own territory.

Behind him, the Shenji siblings, the Black Dragon Maiden, the First Horn and the Blue Dragon also walked out of the space-time passage one after another, and before Hotaru and Rin cheered home, a magical glow flickered in front of everyone, and with the surging of elements, Miss Artificial Intelligence's slightly surprised projection appeared in front of Joshua.

"You ...... I'm back. ”

She whispered.

"Long time no see."

Joshua nodded, "I'm back." ”
