Chapter 43: The True Face of Goldfinger

"It's strange, it's really strange, what did the Star Gate bring me here for?"

Mark couldn't figure it out, so he kept walking inside. Inside the palace, I don't know how many such pillars there are, I can't count them at all.

Mark walked around the palace for half an hour before he finally heard the first voice.

"Welcome, my new master!" An old voice sounded, startling Mark.

"Who are you? Can you come out and speak? Mark said.

"As you wish, new master!" Countless rays of light came from all directions, meeting Mark's side. The light stirred up and slowly took on a human form. The light flashed, and a young man dressed in black appeared.

"I am the steward of the Cosmos Temple, you can call me Heng." The young man introduced himself.

"The Cosmos Temple? Is that what you mean here? Mark asked, pointing to the palace.

"Not bad! This palace is called the Universal Temple. Heng said.

"Heng, you just called me the new master? Excuse me, why is that? Mark asked.

"This Cosmos Temple was built by my master, but a long time ago, it was destroyed, and the core part of the temple, the Cosmos Star Gate, was separated from the main body of the Temple, and after that, the Cosmos Temple was floating in the long river of time and space, and it was not until you reactivated the Cosmos Star Gate that the Star Gate and the Temple became one." Heng said slowly, "You have already recognized the Lord of the Cosmos Star Gate, and of course, you have inherited this temple. From now on, you are my new master. ”

"It turns out that the real name of the Star Gate is called the Universal Star Gate." Mark said darkly.

"Heng, you said that this temple was built by your master, but what about your original master?" Mark asked.

Heng frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he said, "I don't know where the master is." ”

"Then why is the Universal Temple separated from the Universal Star Gate?" Mark asked again.

"I don't know ...... this," Heng said.

"And what do you know?"

Heng Dao: "I know that when the Universal Star Gate appears again, I will recognize the master of the Star Gate as the master and help him grow." ”

Mark instinctively felt that something was wrong, this Universal Temple seemed to be a big pie, don't end up in a big pit.

"Heng, you said that I became your new master, so what can you help me?" Mark proclaimed.

Heng said calmly: "The Universe Temple transcends time and space, and combined with the Universe Star Gate, it can travel through endless time and space. The Cosmos Temple itself is independent of the time and space of any world, and even if the infinite universe is destroyed, the Cosmos Temple will not be affected in the slightest! ”

"Wait, what do you mean by that?" Mark interrupts Heng.

Heng paused to explain, and two rays of light shot out of his eyes and flew towards Mark.

"What are you doing...... "Mark had just spoken, and the light had already entered him. Then, countless pieces of information exploded in Mark's mind, but it didn't hurt Mark's mental power.

Three minutes later, Mark was absorbing the information.

"This Cosmos Temple is actually a supreme artifact!"

Mark, who has always been calm, also showed a surprised expression at this time, the light just now was Heng to transmit a message to him, according to those information, the Cosmos Temple is an amazing artifact, not only is it a space of its own, but even time is independent. In other words, the time inside the Cosmos Temple is not the same as the outside world, and the time here can be controlled by the owner at will, which can speed up or decrease the flow of time.

"Is this what my golden finger really is?" Mark fell into ecstasy, a treasure that regulates time, which he had never heard of in his past or present life. Mark recalls that there are legends of artifacts in this world, but artifacts are powerful weapons at best, and it is impossible to change time.

"Heng, apart from adjusting time, does the Cosmos Temple have any other uses?" Mark looked at the information and found it incomplete.

"Master, the power of the Cosmos Temple is incomparable, but you are only preliminarily recognizing the Lord now, and other functions cannot be used yet." Heng explained.

"When will I be able to fully recognize the Lord Cosmos Temple?" Mark asked busily.

Heng said: "When your strength reaches the God King, Master, the Universe Temple can be completely refined by you. ”

"God-king? What is this realm? Mark touched his chin, and it could be seen from the title that this realm must be very remarkable. God-king, king of gods, is this what anyone can call it?

Despite being able to use only the time-adjusting function, Mark is already satisfied. His magical qualifications are too poor, but with the Cosmos Temple, even if he uses time to spend it, he can become a genius.

"Heng, I'm going to speed up the time of the Cosmos Temple now, well, speed it up to a hundred times the time of the Roman Continent!" Mark ordered.

"Master, with your current strength, you can only speed up or reduce time tenfold." Heng said.

"Ten times?" Mark said helplessly, "Then ten times as much!" ”

Heng said again: "Master, the energy is insufficient, and time acceleration cannot be carried out!" ”

"Not having enough energy?" Mark shouted, "Heng, you're not kidding, this Cosmos Temple is an artifact, and the artifact still needs energy?" ”

Heng said, "Master, the Cosmos Temple is able to absorb energy on its own, and this energy is used to maintain the artifact itself. In order to use the artifact, the owner needs to provide the corresponding energy. ”

"So, how much energy does it need to provide when time is accelerated tenfold?" Mark asked.

"According to the standards of the master's world, a fifth-level magic core is enough. However, because of the low energy level of the demon core, the acceleration time is limited, which is only equivalent to half a year in the Roman Continent. Heng said.

"A fifth-level demon core only takes half a year's cultivation time, which is too short." Mark shook his head secretly, there is really no free lunch in this world, even if the big pie hits his head, he has to have the strength to pick it up.

The Universal Temple is temporarily unusable, and Mark can only put his mind on the Universal Star Gate.

"Heng, I'm going to open the Universal Star Gate." Mark said.

"Yes, master!"

With a constant move, a silver-white gate appeared in front of Mark, and above the gate, one star after another appeared, and among the countless stars, one had already been lit up, just like the last time Mark crossed over.

"Heng, this lit star belongs to the world that can be traversed, right?" Mark asked.

"Not bad. The Universal Stargate has the function of legend of endless time and space, and each star on the stargate symbolizes a world. Heng said.

"Heng, there are so many stars on the Universal Star Gate, why only one is lit?" Mark asked.

"Master, the endless worlds are scattered in the long river of time, and each world is separated by a different distance. If you want to connect to other worlds, you need to spend a lot of energy! ”

"Then why did I only use a fifth-level magic core, a fourth-level magic core, to be able to light up a world?" Mark asked.

"The world that the master is currently lighting up, including the world that the master has traveled through before, is the world connected by the Universal Star Gate itself. In this kind of world, there is no need for the master to build a space channel, as long as the Universal Star Gate is activated. So, very little energy is spent. Heng explained.

Mark said: "How many worlds does the Universal Star Gate itself connect?" ”

"Because of the exhaustion of space-time energy, there are only two worlds left connected by the Universal Star Gate." Heng said.

Mark was taken aback: "In other words, if I want to travel through other worlds in the future, I must consume a huge amount of energy?" ”

"Yes, master!"

Mark smiled bitterly, this Cosmos Temple needs energy, and the Cosmos Star Gate also needs energy, it seems that in addition to obtaining cultivation resources in the future, he will also have to find energy for this artifact.

"Forget it, we'll talk about it later."

Late at night, a mass grave outside the town. Dark clouds obscured the moon, and it was pitch black all around.

The night is very quiet, occasionally a few insects chirp, in the black mound, the green fire beats, from a distance, the fire is like the eyes of some kind of creature, mysterious, terrifying, this is what the folk call ghost fire.

Suddenly, a figure appeared among the mounds.

"It's night again, but there's no one around, and I don't know where it is." Mark looked around, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.

"Hey, there's a bright ......"

Mark saw a little green light more than ten meters away, and hurriedly walked over. Halfway through, he tripped over something and almost fell. He didn't care, and continued to walk towards the green light.

"Fireball!" Mark pointed to his hand, and a fireball the size of a ping-pong ball appeared, and the fireball lit up the space around a few meters, and Mark finally saw it clearly.

"This is actually a grave, this green light, is what the folk call ghost fire!"

Mark saw that there was a broken tombstone in front of him, and the tombstone was engraved with Xu's family, as well as the words of the third year of the Republic of China, and the rest could not be seen clearly.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Before Mark could look for the other tombstones, he heard a strange voice behind him. When he looked back, the voice disappeared immediately. But when he turned around, the voice came again.

"Who!" Mark shouted, but there was no response.

"Could it be that I've come to a world of ghosts?" Mark suddenly thought of something, he silently recited the incantation, and a half-meter-long lightning bolt appeared, crackling and flying backwards, only to hear a piercing scream, and the whining sound disappeared.

"Sure enough!"
