023, Holy Ark

"So, your purpose in coming to me today is to find out whose creation the human beings on Merika were, or did they come into being naturally at the moment when the universe was born and the continent was formed?" The space lord god looked at the avatar of Adam sitting in front of him and asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Uh, yes."

Adam briefly described the similarities and differences between the two cosmic humans, and suddenly remembered that the Kabbalah gem not only exists in the multiverse, but also has his traces on the Merika continent.

In this way, the Three Goddesses of Prophecy can be removed from the selection of those who opened the Chaos Sea and took out the Creation Gem.

After all, when Adam came to the New World, Lady Grace hadn't even found Merica.

"As the presiding god born in the first age of Merica, I think there is something you should know about Your Majesty Silsay." Adam looked expectantly at the Lord God of Space.

"As curious as I—" It would be false to say that I wasn't curious when it came to the origin of the universe, "but I'm afraid the answer will disappoint you, the human race was born long ago when I was born. According to Merika's past stories and legends, no one created humans. ”

"In your words, yes, human beings are born naturally. In fact, if you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known that the humans of the two crystal walls actually have completely different origins. ”

The humans of Yupla and Asha have the blood of giants in their veins!

It's a pity that the Titans have not been able to incorporate the entire human race into the belief system for various reasons, otherwise the position of the first main god of the multiverse would not be the turn of the God of Truth and the God of Destruction and Flame Demons.

The space lord god looked at Adam, who was obviously a little disappointed, and reminded: "Adam, although we are the main gods, we are only the main gods of the laws of a specific realm. The realm of light, honoring you. But in the field of space, I am the king. And to look at the time that has passed in the past, it is obviously the realm of the Lord God of Time. ”

"The Law of Time, or the Time Gem."

"Yes, Time Stone, that's a solution." The concept of the Law Gem was known when the Shock Lord God Extradimensional Aerial Tunnel descended, "If you can find the Time Gem, you can enter the long river of time and go back in time to view history." ”

The River of Time is a manifestation of the law of time, hidden in the unknown depths of the multiverse, recording all the events that happen on the timeline of the entire universe.

Any past that happens anywhere is precipitated in the long river of time.

Even if Adam did not have the priesthood of time, if he used the Time Stone, he could still read the past from it as the main god.

As for whether it can be traced back to the origin of the universe, it is unknown.

Adam showed a look of embarrassment after a moment of happiness: "The Time Gem has already emerged from the Chaos Sea's regional clock that represents the law of time when the God of Truth strengthened the law of chaos last time, but unfortunately it is missing. ”

Along with it was the soul gem that had fallen into the lava realm—until now, only the gods of the Demon God and the Realm of Truth knew that the soul gem had fallen into the hands of the Demon God of Greed and had been made into a ring.

"In that case, there's only one last option left." The space lord god paused, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the Heavenly Mandate Realm, "The long river of fate." ”

"Prophecy of the Three Goddesses?"

"That's right, the first thing the three of them did when they came to Mirika was to summon the River of Destiny, collect intelligence and information on the entire Merika Continent with the help of the 'past' part that precipitated in the River of Fate, and finally use the weak click of the Nine Pillars God to kill the Thunderbird God."

"Time, fate - wait, time! Space! ”

Adam suddenly realized that in addition to the creation gem that represented the law of creation, there was another gem that was outflowing—the space gem that was integrated into the moon well by the mother earth god, and the space gem that was supposed to be held by the [space lord god].

Of course, now the space gem has been devoured by the magic web, and together with the moon well, it has been parsed into a space faction arcane.

Very well, Adam nodded, thinking to himself, the doubts were not solved, and the confusion was getting more and more.

"What does the goddess of life say?" The space lord looked at Adam, who was deep in thought, and asked.

"Much like your answer, His Majesty Thrandale said that the moment she and the god of nature were born from the Mother Goddess of Life, the Ancient Tree of War, the Sun Elves, the Moon Elves, and the Star Elves were born with them. Previously, the three major races were already active on the continent. ”

"Alright, Adam. If we have to dig deeper, there are many things in the universe that we can't explain. The space lord omitted the part he did not understand, and said with relief, "If you can know everything, understand the mysteries of the whole universe, then you are omniscient and omnipotent, and knowing is the truth." The most important thing at the moment is that I help you deal with the God of Destruction and Flame, and you help me deal with the Lord God of War. ”

For a moment, Adam felt like he was grasping something, but he didn't react for a moment.

The Cult of Truth failed to preach in the Buffyson Merchant Alliance, and the war between the Orc Kingdom and the Duchy of Winter was not decided, as on July 21, a cold wave brewing in the Arctic due to an imbalance of elements broke out again.

The last time a cold wave erupted was in late April, when the destructive Slow Shadow, which maintained the Silver Rank, affected the Upla Northern Ice Fields and the Ice Kingdom.

However, that cold wave was forcibly dispersed when the two crystal walls merged, the laws collapsed, and the gods descended on the main material plane, and returned to calm, delaying the process affecting the entire main material plane.

However, after two months, the cold wave finally broke out again.

This time, instead of slowly moving south with the destructive power of the Silver Order, the cold wave rushed directly over the North Pole and affected the entire world by affecting the atmospheric circulation of the main matter plane.

Looking down from Adam's perspective in the Kingdom of God, a spectacular scene can be clearly seen: a giant pillar with a radius of more than 100 meters rises into the sky, as if a giant dragon is spinning and rushing into the sky.

When it comes into contact with the atmospheric circulation, it immediately differentiates into a stream of air with a faint blue luster.

Everywhere you go, the temperature continues to drop, and under the influence of this, thick clouds accumulate and a blizzard brews.

In less than half a day, the cold wave brought the entire Northern Hemisphere into its area of influence through atmospheric circulation.

Monsters and magical creatures, who have the keenest sense of smell for the weather, look at the sky suspiciously, alarmed.

According to Adam's eyesight, by the time the sun goes down, a cold wave will sweep across the globe.

Whether it's Uppler, Yasha or Merika, regardless of the current seasonal weather in various places, they will all be affected by the cold wave and usher in cooling and snowing in the coming week.

The only thing to be thankful for may be that because the scope of influence has been directly expanded to the whole world, the power of the cold wave has been dispersed, and the destructive power of the silver rank no longer exists, not even black iron.

But the consequence is also very significant, that is, there is only one kind of weather in the entire main matter plane from the first snowflake: snowfall, a steady stream of snowfall!

"It's not good to go on like this."

Adam sighed as he watched the wind and snow brewing in the clouds, and silently calculated how long the food supplies that had been stored in the Sanctuary space warehouse and had not been useful could last.

"At least one thing can be determined for now, the prophecy of the three goddesses is not lying, and the ice age in their mouths is true." The Goddess of Life stopped evolving the Red Dragon, "At this rate, the main material plane will be covered with ice and snow in a month. ”

If the goddess of earth and abundance cannot ascend to the main god in a short period of time, it will only take a few years, the snow will turn into ice, the temperature will continue to drop, and the main matter plane will gradually enter the ice age after many years of cold winter, and there will be very few living beings who can survive smoothly.

And, more importantly, it's not just a cleansing of all beings, but also a cleansing of the gods.

"There are definitely not a few gods who have been pulled into the astral plane because of the collapse of faith."

"Your Majesty Adam—"

"I understand, Your Majesty Thrandale. The Red Dragon thing will be put aside for now, thank you very much. I also need to go back and prepare as soon as possible to help the Empire survive this crisis before Her Highness Farissa is promoted to the Lord God. ”

"What I really want to say is something else." The Goddess of Life looked at Adam with a smile, "The sun you put away earlier might come in handy. ”

The temperature provided by one sun can't stop the power of a cold wave, but what if there are two suns?

As for the trajectory of the sun, it can be adjusted by the sun god himself, who holds the position of the sun god.

In fact, the first reaction of the Goddess of Life when she saw the outbreak of the cold wave just now was to emigrate, immigrate the elves on the main material plane to the transitional plane or simply unrestrained wilderness.

However, the transition plane is probably due to the fact that it belongs to the inner plane, and there are very few balances of the four elements and the two major energy energies, which is not suitable for ordinary people to live in.

Furthermore, how to bring ordinary people to the transitional plane is also a problem.

As for the Unrestrained Wilderness, only the High Elves of pure blood can live in it.

In just a split second, the goddess of life ruled out several options, and finally thought of the sun that had been put away by Adam.

Perhaps, this is fate. It was Adam, the sun god, who took away the extra sun, and now, it is destined to be him who replaces the second sun.

"Uh-" Adam pondered the possibility of re-placing only about four-fifths of the sun in the star belt, and then had a flash of inspiration, "Your Majesty Thurlandal, I must say that you have provided me with a wonderful inspiration. ”

***

On the evening of July 22, the first Pope of the Church, Clement I, was taking care of the affairs of the Church when he suddenly felt a spiritual sea shake and a huge sun rose in it.

The sun radiated a bright and pure radiance, shining through the entire spiritual sea, hanging high above it, incomparably divine and majestic, but it also made him feel very intimate.

"This breath—" Clement I reacted immediately after a brief moment of surprise, "this is the will of our lord!" ”

And it came directly to his spiritual sea through the channel of faith!

"My lord, what do you command? Crément is always ready to listen to your teachings. ”

"Crément!" The majestic voice rolled through the sea of spirits, but it did not cause any discomfort to Clement, "The whole world is about to usher in a terrible catastrophe. ”

Disaster?

Clement did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly gathered all his attention, for fear of missing a single word.

This was the first oracle he received after his coronation as Pope, and there must be no mistake.

"In seven days, endless snow and ice will begin to sweep across the main material plane from the north and south poles, and cover the earth in the next month. Warm winds, rising suns, and flowers will disappear from the earth, while cold winds, snowstorms, and cold will rule the world. ”

Ice Age!

After listening to Adam's description, Clement's first reaction was the Ice Age.

He had heard Lady Teresa, now Her Highness the Angel of Salvation, mention it slightly.

In the future, the world may be covered in endless snow and ice, and few people will survive, even the gods may be affected.

Could it be that the Ice Age is coming?

"My lord, what should I do?" Clement asked hurriedly.

"I want you to lead the Templar to build an ark within the Holy Griffon Empire to protect the empire from this disaster."

Ark!

Is it the ark in the second chapter of the gods' blessings?

In the next moment, a huge stream of information poured into his spiritual sea like a tide, the Divine Ark, the Blazing Sun Orb, the Snow Plague, and the Ice Age......

By the time Clement came back to his senses from the impossibly large message of thought, Adam's will was long gone.

"Praise be to my lord!" Clement prayed a few times before closing his eyes and sinking his mind into the sea of spirit to digest the sacred ark given by the sun god himself.

"What a worthy one is my lord." Two hours later, Clement opened his eyes, "Ivan, immediately inform and invite all His Highness the Holy Spirit, the Patriarch, Summers, Eric, the Golden Dragon Patriarch Midgard, and the Feathered Serpent Patriarch Nora to come to the Basilica of Holy Radiance. ”

Midgard was the first red dragon to be evolved by Adam and the Goddess of Life, possessing the powerful strength of the Legendary First Order, and was appointed by Adam as the patriarch of the Golden Dragon Clan.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" A look of surprise flashed on the face of the papal attendant who had been guarding the door.

It was almost midnight at this time, and the Pope had solemnly invited the Templar to discuss the proceedings, and something terrible must have happened.

I didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so I hurriedly went to inform him.

Ten minutes later, the main hall of the Holy Radiance Cathedral was brightly lit, and the Patriarchs and other high-ranking officials from all over the empire came through the Gate of Divine Primal Heaven after receiving the notice.

"Two hours ago, I received an oracle from my lord." Wearing a crown of thorns, Clement briefly recounts the events of the Ice Age, the Ice and Snow Catastrophe, and the Holy Ark.

"Your Majesty, don't know the Holy Ark that my lord mentioned?"

It was Summers who spoke, who was in charge of the Holy Grail of Treasures, and had recently grown in strength by leaps and bounds after absorbing a divinity contained in the treasure, and had a tendency to move towards the legend.

As the lead priest of the Templar support faction, Summers knows the Ark all the better, and the second chapter from the last legendary divine blessing of the Templar auxiliary faction is a very powerful defensive divine art.

But to defend against natural disasters, he wasn't sure if he could put the entire city under the protection of the Ark, which would require a huge amount of magic support.

As if knowing what Summers was worried about, Clement explained, "There is no need to worry about this, in fact the sacred ark that my lord has just given is a magic array, completely different from the second chapter of the gods' blessings. ”

This magic array, named the Sacred Ark, is based on the Ark of Divine Magic, and was deduced by Adam and the gods of Heavenly Mountain over a day's time.

According to Adam's original idea, the Sacred Ark has two main functions: defense and heat release, and is composed of three parts.

In addition to the Ark Enchantment, which evolved from the Ark of Divine Arts, there are two important components: the Solar Sail and the Sun Well.

The former is used to absorb sunlight and light energy floating in the void, while the latter is to store the energy absorbed by the solar sail and provide it to the Ark Enchantment to maintain its operation.

However......

"My lord." Raphael looked at the magnificent magic array designed by Adam himself with some hesitation.

The Holy Ark certainly deserves the word grandeur, and it can protect the people of a city from the terrible calamities that are coming.

Of course, all this is based on the fact that the Holy Ark can be smoothly arranged.

The angel of the Gospel had to fulfill his duty as a servant of God and reminded: "My lord, I am afraid we do not have enough materials to furnish the complete Holy Ark. ”

If the magic array is also divided according to the class level, just one ark enchantment is enough to be included in the legendary level, and the difficulty of arranging it is quite huge.

What's more, there are two solar sails and sun wells that are not inferior to the Ark Enchantment.

As a last resort, Adam, who was still thinking about whether to merge the rainbow enchantment into the Sacred Ark, had no choice but to weaken the power of the Ark Enchantment, and directly weaken it to the bronze rank, giving up the powerful defensive ability comparable to the legend, just to prevent the blizzard smoothly, and separate the heat release function.

The independent part is modeled by Adam on the sun, simulating the stars to deduce a new golden magic, the Blazing Sun Orb.

The Blazing Sun Orb has no attack power, and its only function is to release light and heat, providing the necessary heat energy for the city when the earth is covered in ice and snow.

The standard exothermic time for a Blazing Sun orb is twelve hours, after which it will disappear completely, requiring the Patriarchs to release it again.

In addition, the solar sails and the sunwells faced the same fate, suffering significant cuts.

So, by the time Adam gave Clem the complete Divine Ark Magic Array, it was actually a low-level version.

"The Golden Divine Blazing Sun Orb will soon appear on our list of divine arts, and our mission is to build sacred arks within the Empire to withstand the cold and wind and snow before the wind and snow turn into a real disaster."

"Your Majesty, with all due respect. Given that a blizzard is coming in a week, we don't have enough manpower. ”

Speaking is Eric, the head priest of the Templar attacking faction, who wields the treasure Eternal Blazing Sun.

"That's why I invited Lord Midgard and Lord Nora to come along, and besides, the Silver Light Society will help us build the ark together."

Even if Adam weakened the power of the Sacred Ark to the greatest extent, because of its wide range of action and complex structure, the Divine Ark still maintained the level of gold.

It took the Templar two days to build the Holy Ark in Griffon, using a number of gold and legendary professions, including the Templar Champion Patriarch, the Holy Spirit, and the Angels.

At first, the populace did not know what this powerful group of priests was doing, although the Empire had warned residents through an executive order and the Celtic Times not to go out easily in recent days, and issued a blizzard warning.

It's true that the populace has a lot of trust in the Empire, but the blizzard isn't a bit ......

It's July, the hottest month of July.

The weather varies depending on the geographical location and topography, but there is no doubt that it is summer, and it has nothing to do with snowfall.

If it weren't for the fact that the Empire and the Templar had always been so reputable, I am afraid that some would have thought it was a ridiculous joke.

However, the facts were soon verified, and just three days later, Lille, the northernmost city in Celtic, was hit by a blizzard.

"Hell, what the fuck is this weather!" When the first snowflakes fell on Lille, similar words popped out of one mouth.

The people finally realized that the Empire was not joking, and that a terrible catastrophe was about to befall them.

"Let's open the ark." The Patriarch and the Holy Spirit, who were in charge of the Lille Cathedral, glanced at each other and activated the magic circle that had just been arranged.

Rumble! Twelve rays of light rose from all corners of Lille, converging in the air, falling downward, square and heavy, like a huge ship that was extremely smooth, sailing smoothly in the waves of calamity.

Immediately after, six huge wings rose from the giant ship and slowly opened.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but people feel that the light in the air seems to be distorted, and it is constantly absorbed by the six wings.

At this time, if someone looks down on the city of Lille from the sky, they will find that the rays from the sun are gradually extending into soft curves and lines due to the attraction and pull of the six wings, and finally outline the shape of a feather.

These feathers come together and become another pair of giant wings in a place that people can't see.

"Blazing Sun Orb!" The Patriarch whispered a prayer, raised his scepter in the admiring gaze of the other priests, and rushed out a golden ball of energy with a radius of more than two meters.

The orb floated at the very apex of the Sacred Ark in a pre-set position, like a small sun slowly releasing light and heat, illuminating the drowsiness caused by the blizzard, sweeping away the haze and cold.

"Holy Ark!" The Patriarch looked at the huge magic array that enveloped all of Lille and sighed, "I hope I can help the city survive this disaster." ”
