Chapter 55: The Truth
Sacred Source......
It is said that part of the soul of the god is hidden in it, and if you look at it closely, you can gain the possibility of immortality.
James said it was an antiquity, something he had acquired a long time ago, but he couldn't tell him why it was evidence or why he thought it was an antiquity......
Although he does not grow old or die, all kinds of bodily functions are still within the scope of human beings, whether physical or brain.
The same is true for memory, although the theory is that the repetition rate is high enough that certain memories are less likely to be forgotten. But at the end of the day, that was thousands of years ago.
And it is not the knowledge of herbs that is often needed, the memory of ancient technology and the like, and the immortal prophet cannot completely resist the ruthless power of the carving knife of time.
— so he also inevitably forgot a lot of things.
Thus James identified the Divine Source as some kind of antiquity, but he did not remember why it was.
He also had no idea how he came to know about it, whether it was discovered in the first place, or if it was ...... Did someone specifically say that to him?
Anyway, Jacob really can't remember, it's not that he's deliberately pretending to be mysterious in this regard, but he really can't provide any meaningful clues.
Laura also regrets this, but there is nothing she can do to change this fact.
As for the current owner of the Divine Source, the only clue Mo Chen told her was...... The Source of Divine is not sacred at all.
As for why he said this, he did not give a further explanation in detail.
Moreover, there is one thing that Jacob has always said that has always made Miss Crawford extremely concerned, that is, a certain secret about Mo Chen, as if to say that his essence is actually an indescribable thing that human beings cannot understand?
Miss Crawford thought she had the answer to this question, which was about the dark side of the world hidden in human history.
The myths that are primitive rituals, the great energies and ancient beings that are known as gods, the anthropomorphism of powerful natural phenomena......
If that guy is also a pillar of it, then nature is an incomprehensible and indescribable existence for humans.
It is also the existence of today's technology that cannot be explained, or even refuses to acknowledge.
So she thought she understood what Jacob had said, but then she thought about it and felt that something was wrong. Or maybe she just thinks she understands, but in reality what Jacob says and what she thinks may not be the same thing at all.
If it was really as simple as he understood, it wouldn't have made Jacob still turn pale with fear when he talked about it, right?
Even Miss Crawford and Ross and the others, although they were also shocked for a long time because they knew the tip of the iceberg that belonged to ancient mythology. But at this time, they have basically accepted this reality, and smoothly rebuilt the new three views.
But Jacob, an immortal prophet who lived for thousands of years, and a wise man who had accumulated wisdom beyond the ages, had not recovered after thousands of years?
And until now, he still feels terrified when he thinks about it?
Just kidding, right? If it's true, then this situation really looks weird.
Therefore, Miss Crawford also had doubts about her initial thoughts, and sincerely felt that this matter may not involve some small problems and small details that can be easily ignored.
It's just that because of this concern, she wisely didn't choose to ask directly, or directly ask Mo Chen, for example, to let her contact the Divine Source or something.
It's not that I'm worried that I'm mistaken that she has something bad in mind, but I'm worried that if something more terrible is really involved, it will be more likely to cause conflict...... Anyway, I just feel that there is no way to explain that concern to the person concerned.
Da Da Da ......
The sound of light footsteps echoed through the space of the spotless dark Grand Temple, though Miss Crawford had taken as little pace as she could—
But at the moment, she was in a nervous mood, and she still felt that there was only her own footsteps in the whole space, which was a little too obvious and too noticeable...... Although there is no one here at all.
It seems that the object of worship in the main temple did just leave at this time, so the girl didn't find the guy after walking around.
Although theoretically there must be priests and other clergy, it is not now, after all, the city has just been completed...... Software issues are of course solved after hardware issues.
It seems that Jacob had come to serve as the high priest of the temple after he had prepared to pass on the patriarchal position to Sophia, and his wisdom and experience determined that he was the most suitable candidate.
- But there is no doubt that this is a great opportunity.
“……”
“……”
Staring at the prismatic crystal-like divine source enshrined on the altar above for a long time, Miss Crawford kept taking deep breaths to cheer herself up.
She didn't know why she was so nervous.
To be honest, every time she entered here, she wasn't forbidden to touch the Divine Source, and that guy never cared about that.
Why do you feel scared and worried now? In any case, she didn't want to get any benefit for herself, but mainly wanted to figure out the thing that made her care a lot.
Despite the constant struggle in her heart, when she reacted, Miss Crawford realized that she had actually made a choice.
She had already walked up to the front of the altar, looking at the prismatic crystal.
And the Divine Source had almost immediately brought her a very strange feeling, evoking some nebula-like magnificence in her mind.
Miss Crawford couldn't look away from her eyes at all, she didn't know if it was an illusion or if she had really seen something from staring at it closely.
Considering some of the information revealed by Jacob's words, she thought it was most likely the latter, that is, the images that came to her mind must have had extraordinary significance.
The girl was perked up, and she was absorbed in the sights of the nebulae that came to her mind.
Soon, she felt that her consciousness was blurred, she didn't know where she was, or what perspective she was looking at, and she couldn't tell if she was awake or in a dream......
Those images vaguely evoke fragments of time, fragments of a distant and almost forgotten hidden history—
……
……
Something as terrifying as a giant polyp slipped quietly through the darkness around it, and it seemed that countless invisible bat membrane wings were constantly flapping around it......
All laws and rules seem to have begun to distort, subvert, and disappear, leaving only boundless chaos, chaos opening its abyssal maws ahead......
Mo Chen, however, continued to let the huge flying creature below him unmoved, and continued to rush forward with himself at an uncertain speed of speed or slowness, approaching the destination.
He just watched the wriggling darkness around him thoughtfully, wondering where he had come.
The Shattuck is a disgusting creature, but it is only equivalent to a race of subordinate minions in itself, and it is not a particularly dangerous thing, but they have a great ability to move-
Able to fly freely in space, it is used as a mount by the various attendants of the outer gods, and if left unattended, it may even take the rider to the throne of Azathoth.
However, Mo Chen was already mentally prepared for this possibility, so he didn't care too much, what he cared about was what the hell this place was?
It looked like cosmic space, with the stars dancing as if in mockery, changing their arrangement from time to time to form some pale sign of destruction...... But strictly speaking, that's not possible in itself, right?
After all, it is still unknown whether the area that can directly leave the dream and enter the real world can take off from the dream and keep flying out.
Can you even soar out of the universe beyond the earth at this time? It was impossible to think about it, so Mo Chen suspected that this was probably still in a dream.
But it was not the dream he guided and created, but it passed through the dark abyss of blasphemy and arrived at an unknown dream elsewhere
The wind was howling all the time, and it seemed like there was always dazed darkness and loneliness all around. The Shattak bird just pricked up its ears and lunged forward, feeling as if it was flying faster and faster.
It moved forward quickly and relentlessly, flapping its huge, smooth wings with a strange cheerfulness, and flew straight for the great dark abyss at the end of the road.
Although Mo Chen couldn't make out the strange darkness around him, and he didn't know how long he had traveled in the darkness and how long it had taken him, he had been paying attention to the state of this flying creature larger than an elephant.
This thing is not necessarily trustworthy, although his current appearance here is only an appearance, not even a corresponding entity, so the loss here is actually nothing.
I don't know how long it took, but the howling wind suddenly stopped without warning.
Mo Chen was keenly aware that he had passed through a transparent curl that seemed to be formed by outer space, and then he directly entered an ominous silence.
All the winds and terrors were silently gone, just as the things of the night would disappear before dawn. Immediately afterward, there was a faint hint of some distant melody that it was a song, but it was not sung with any voice.
The night and the stars sang about it, and it was very old long before it was born.
The grotesque scaly monster let out an ugly scraping glass cry with joy and flew straight forward! It soared and dashed, cutting the furthest edge and crossing the outermost abyss.
Leave the realm of stars and tangible things far behind, and like a meteor through a completely disembodied space.
Fly to that dark palace that is out of time, unimaginable and has no light.
……
……
"Laura? Laura! ”
The call from the outside world woke Miss Crawford from her trance and numbness, and she blinked her eyes and looked away from the prismatic crystal in front of her.
The arrangement of the surrounding dark temples caught her eye, and someone was standing next to her with a strange expression, as if his outstretched palm had just tapped her on the shoulder.
Just for a moment—
Miss Crawford realized something, and her pupils shrank to the limit! She screamed in fear, frantically shook off Mo Chen's hand, turned around and rushed towards the door of the temple!
She jumped off the platform desperately, and then stumbled blindly through the dimly lit space, intent on rushing out to the outside, away from here, away from this man's side!
“……”
Mo Chen couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth, and suddenly felt that his young heart had been hurt.
