"Of course." The black dragon moved its huge buttocks, revealing the huge stone door behind it, and on either side of the stone gate, there were two humanoid statues, both carved into the standard image of a summoner, wearing a robe with a hood, standing bowed, holding the Book of the Atlas in his hand, a full forty or fifty meters high.

Xing Tianyu heard an exclamation, he didn't look back, but guessed that it must be a new summoner like him, the shock in his heart was no less than that person, the island in the sea, the magical summoning, the talking dragon, and the huge portal, all of which made him feel extremely excited.

The old man, known as the sage, stood in front of the huge stone gate, raised the staff in his hand, and a dazzling blue light suddenly bloomed in the stone gate, gradually expanding to the space between the entire stone gates, forming a huge blue light curtain, through the blue light curtain, he could faintly see the scene on the other side of the portal, and the picture in front of him made him have a strong sense of déjà vu.

"Come, pass through this summoner's door, and we'll be at the Sanctuary."

As he spoke, the sage walked in first, followed by the other summoners.

Under the leadership of the old man, they passed through the door, Xing Tianyu felt as if he had walked into a wall filled with viscous liquid, he continued to walk forward, and soon passed through the blue light curtain, and then presented to everyone an even more bizarre scene, they were on a small island, but this island was not located on the ocean, but suspended in a void, Xing Tianyu looked around, he could not see the starry sky and moonlight, but only various colors, like an aurora halo, An incomparably huge storm was formed, and where they were located was in the center of this storm, the storm was composed of energy, and those energies swirled and impacted each other, bursting out of a dazzling flash from time to time, as bright as a star explosion, which made people look thrilling, it is not difficult to imagine the destructive power of the energy contained in the storm, but they stood on this small island, but they were extremely calm, and they couldn't even hear the sound of explosions, this strong sense of contrast made Xing Tianyu involuntarily feel a burst of awe.

He noticed that there was a shield-like barrier around the floating island, and it seemed that it was the thing that protected the floating island from threats.

"For those who are new to the island, I would like to warn you that try not to get close to the edge of this island, this is a subspace, once you fall, or out of the scope of the shield, you will be lost forever in the torrent of time and space, or torn into an atomic state by the energy storm, as for what the outcome will be, to be honest, I don't know, and I don't want to try."

The sage said as he walked.

"Alright, guys, come with me, and I'll give you a brief introduction to the island." Under the leadership of the sage, the group walked towards the interior of the island, this island is about ten kilometers in diameter, except for the portal located in the convex part of the edge, the other parts are a very regular circle, because they are located relatively high, so it is easy to see a magnificent huge palace, standing in the middle of the island, and around the palace, there are some scattered buildings, as well as gardens, forests, lakes, hills, All of these landscapes are presented in a very miniature form, this floating island is like a miniature kingdom, and the sparrows are small and full of organs.

Along the way, Xing Tianyu even saw some people living here.

"These people are the descendants of summoners and their loved ones, and if you, or your descendants, want to, you can live here, it's absolutely safe here."

"See that palace? It is the seat of the Summoners' Council, where the Summoners Elders discuss important matters, and in a moment all the new Summoners will come with me, where you will learn the meaning of your existence and a great secret. ”

"Over there, like a bazaar, is the trading area, where you can trade items with each other, exchange information and intelligence, and the trading area will be open around the clock for the next seven days."

"Over there, that independent building, is the library, where you can check out all kinds of out-of-print materials and books, and even inquire about various otherworldly creatures."

The sage explained as he walked, and when they came to a square, the procession stopped.

"Alright, the other summoners can be disbanded, as usual, the summoner assembly lasts for seven days, the welcome banquet is held tonight, the summoner fraternity will be held on the third night, and the summoner union will be held on the fifth day."

"As for the new summoners, please come with Maya, she will take you to the summoners council to report."

Many people left, and in the end there were only five people left, Xing Tianyu glanced around, and in addition to him and Sylvia, there was also a guy wearing a cloak and a black blindfold, who looked like a masked thief from the Renaissance.

The other was a black bald man, who was described as black but not definitively, who appeared to be clearly of mixed race, with skin closer to brown, wearing a black leather trench coat, a pair of black sunglasses, and carrying a katana behind him.

The third person is a young girl, an Asian, dressed very casually, white stockings, a miniskirt, and a bow tied on her head, which looks like a two-dimensional cute girl, Xing Tianyu instinctively thinks that this girl may be a Japanese.

The girl named Maya stood next to the sage, she was wearing a blue retro-style robe, she looked like a beautiful maid in Western fantasy, Maya smiled and nodded at the people, "Come with me, several." ”

The five men followed Maya towards the council.

While walking, Xing Tianyu observed the pedestrians around him, the residents of this mini world, dressed in a variety of clothes, some of them were also wearing Renaissance costumes, all kinds of gorgeous colors and complex patterns, and some were wearing Victorian periods, the kind of simple and simple black and white clothes, he could also see some people wearing Hanfu, these Hanfu have obviously been integrated and improved, closer to the image he saw in some TV series, but it is a lot more concise, probably for convenience reasons, Of course, there are also all kinds of modern clothing, and the whole mini world has a kind of cos play convention.

Several people followed the girl named Maya, and soon came to the Palace of Parliament, the style of this magnificent hall is very peculiar, neither European style, nor Asian style, nor even modern style, but a strange artistic style that Xing Tianyu has never seen, I don't know why, he looked at this palace, and had an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

"It's an Atlantean style building that's been around for thousands of years." Maya introduced.

Atlantean style? What the hell is that? Xing Tianyu thought.

The group entered the parliament building, and soon the five were ushered into a large hall, behind a semicircular council table, where seven men of various shapes dressed in white robes sat down.

Xing Tianyu was probably able to deduce that the white robe should be the costume of the summoner elder, while the gray robe should be the senior summoner, and the ordinary summoner was the black robe.

The white robe sitting in the middle was the first to stand up, he was an old man, and he seemed to have a kind of temperament that was not angry and arrogant.

"Welcome to the Summoners' Council, a new generation of Summoners, first of all, I am the Speaker of the Summoners' Council and the Chief Elder of the Council of Elders.

I guess you must have a lot of doubts, a lot of questions that need to be answered, you don't understand the meaning of the existence of summoners, and it is even possible that you will feel uneasy about what you have done, and you are afraid that your actions will lead to the destruction of this world, then I can tell you very clearly that not only will your actions not lead to the destruction of the world, but also may be the key to saving this world. ”

When Xing Tianyu heard this, he couldn't help but feel like laughing inexplicably, although he had heard similar statements before, saying that summoners exist to save the world, but he couldn't figure out how his actions were related to saving the world.

There was more than one who seemed to have the same idea as him, "Well, can you tell me why?" The two-dimensional girl asked in a low voice.

"Of course, that's exactly what I'm going to say next, and I'm going to tell you a lost history, a hidden truth, a legend about the survival of humanity."

The speaker said in a solemn tone, Xing Tianyu suddenly shook his spirits, the truth of everything and the origin of the summoner can finally be revealed today.

"Millions of years ago, there was a new race on the earth that appeared in this world and gradually prospered, a race called the Sakadom people, ruled the world, the Sakadom people are a very intelligent race, they have strong spiritual power, and gradually derived psionic magic, they use this psionic magic to gradually master a magical spell called summoning, using summoning, they can summon those creatures from another world, and use this to obtain resources and learn the skills and abilities of creatures from other worlds, It was they who created the Book of Sakadum, the Book of the Atlas in your hands. ”

"Although the Sakadom people have developed minds and strong psionic energy, they do not have a strong body, and the number is scarce, and they have encountered a lot of trouble in the process of developing this world, and they often lack protection in the face of otherworldly creatures, they urgently need a group of slaves and vassals to serve them, so they decided to summon and enslave a race from another world, and they finally found a suitable race after patient selection, this race has a certain wisdom, but compared with the Sakadum people, It's not that smart, it won't pose much of a threat, at least that's what they think, this race is hard-working and physically strong, and can serve them well, moreover, this race is very adaptable, and it's omnivorous, whether it's plants or meat, it can be used as their food, and the most important thing is that this race has a strong ability to reproduce, as long as a small group can breed a large race, providing amazing labor, and this race is us humans. ”

When Xing Tianyu heard this, he was extremely shocked in his heart, "Could it be that we humans are not the native inhabitants of the earth?" So where do we come from? ”

The Speaker nodded, "That's right, we humans are not native to Earth, we are actually from the world of Atlantis, which is our homeland. ”

Xing Tianyu couldn't help but feel a sudden moment, he had always been curious about why there were human beings in the Atlantis world, and now, all this was clear, when he thought that his hometown was in another world, he had an inexplicable excitement and an unbelievable absurd feeling.

The councillor's story continued, "Humanity was originally enslaved by the Sakadom as a vassal creature, and this life lasted for thousands of years, and as the population grew, the human race gradually developed its own social class, and even had its own independent settlement, and the Sakadom were very arrogant and did not want humans to live with them, only those few who passed the test would live beside them as servants and serve them, and the rest of the ordinary human beings were more like laborers, cultivating the land for them, Hunting prey and building houses, humans regard the Sakadum as gods and have a strong curiosity and yearning for the Sakadum's magical summoning skills. ”

"Human beings have never been a peaceful race, which has brought us countless dangers, but also brought countless opportunities, some of the humans who serve the Sakadom people, secretly learned some of the fur of summoning techniques, and brought them back to the human community, and these people are the first batch of summoners, human beings also have spiritual power, although compared to the Sakadum people, but with the help of the summoning circle, human beings can gather a pitiful amount of spiritual power, gather together, and summon creatures from another world."

"Human summoners continue to experiment and try, summoning a variety of otherworldly creatures, in the first few hundred years, human beings were unusually cautious not to let their actions be discovered by the Sakadum people, but as time passed, the mastery and understanding of summoning became deeper and deeper, and humans gradually became arrogant and no longer settled."

"Humanity believes that we can summon and enslave powerful otherworldly creatures like the Sakadum, and even use it to fight the Sakadum."

"So the summoning technique was quickly spread, and various summoner groups and organizations made all kinds of attempts, and the final result led to a huge disaster, a summoner organization accidentally opened a door to the other world that could not be closed, and countless otherworldly creatures were summoned to this world, demons, undead, elemental creatures, and those terrible creatures that could not even be described, filled the whole world, this disaster was not only a disaster for humans, but also a disaster for the Sakadum people, Both suffered almost as hard, but humanity had a huge advantage over the Sakadum, and that was numbers, and when the Sakadom cities gradually died, the humans fled the settlements, hid in all corners of the world, and finally survived to the end of the first invasion. ”

"You may wonder where those otherworldly creatures have gone, in fact, as humans and the Sakadom gradually disappear, the battle between otherworldly creatures has become the main contradiction, they have fought each other, and they have been fighting each other for centuries, and a group of powerful beings known as the Origin Gods have gradually suppressed all other races, they are creatures from the deepest and darkest Origin World, in that universe that has not yet been born from chaos, Energy and matter are condensed together in an extremely compressed way, and the Primordial Gods are the terrifying creatures that live in it, and they represent the most primordial forces in the universe.

Even demons and evil gods of the other world shy away from them, and in order to fight against these terrible beings, the races of other otherworldly creatures were forced to unite, but they were still unable to defeat these powerful individuals born in the chaos of the universe, so they had to find us humans, because only the exile of the summoner could expel these terrible beings back to their world. ”

"Humans naturally won't easily agree, if the Origin Ancient God is banished away, then these remaining otherworldly creatures will definitely not let them go, so the summoner council and these otherworldly gods, pseudo-gods, demigods or various powerful individuals have reached a contract, the otherworldly gods will temporarily lend their power to humans, helping humans use a spell similar to super banishment, this spell can banish all otherworldly creatures back to their world, humans will rule this world for three million years, when the three million years are over, That is, when the contract expires, all the exiled creatures from the other world will return and seize the rule of this world. ”

"So, humanity has become the master of this world, we have three million years to develop our own civilization, and use this time to prepare for war, to prepare for the second round of invasion, we are very confident, in three million years, we will be extremely powerful, but the otherworldly creatures are not fools, their gods saw the potential of humanity, and imposed a powerful curse on humanity before leaving, we have lost our knowledge, lost the history of the past, and our intelligence has become like a beast, ignorant and savage, After millions of years, as the effect of the curse gradually faded, we have redeveloped some primitive civilizations, but time is running out, the otherworldly creatures are about to return, and what is even more terrifying is that those terrible primordial gods will also return to this world, and even the Sakadum people are not completely extinct, a small part of them, using reverse summoning, teleported themselves to another world, and vowed to return one day to take back everything that belongs to them. ”

"So now you understand the crisis we're facing, right?" [.]
