"Hey! Delivered directly to the task trigger point...... It's really a caring service. Mo Wen looked at the pillars of light and smiled softly.

"And now are we?" Lias jumped in front of Mo Wen with Xiaobai in her arms - the kitten had been held in Lias's arms at least forty percent of the time since she was summoned, and the girl almost regarded the kitten as her own child.

"Of course, I will definitely regret this kind of sure-fire thing." Mo Wen got up, and with three or two clicks, he removed the tent that was stuck on the ground and put it into the storage space.

"Ready to go."

……

【Firmament...... Is that what you're facing? Long Aotian's eyes flashed with an inexplicable brilliance.

"Alliance leader, we've made a decision." A man in Hanfu bowed slightly in front of Long Aotian. "All three hundred and ninety-three brothers who are still alive are willing to follow you on that mission."

"Let's go, then!" Long Aotian smiled slightly.

……

"Looks like I'm not the only one who can interpret this information." The man with an olive branch had a gloomy face.

"It's normal." The Asian man held his spear and said flatly: "Among these tens of thousands of travelers, there are always people with the same abilities as you...... It makes sense to be preempted first. ”

"Hmph, how can we gods lag behind mortals?" Apollo, holding a harp, gritted his teeth.

"So we have to be ahead of everyone else in the next step." The man with an olive branch on his head slammed his scepter: "Although I don't know why the guy who was ahead of us opened the teleportation array, there is no reason for the Traveler's House to lie to us...... That's our chance. ”

……

"It seems that the ultimate goal of this so-called world mission should be to save the world." At this time, Wright was not wearing a helmet, and his dazzling blonde hair swayed slowly with the gentle breeze, and anyone who looked at it would praise the beautiful man.

"Are you ready?" Wright turned around and raised the hammer like a god who had descended into the world.

"For the light of our hearts! For the justice of our ideals! ”

A calm voice with unshakable firmness.

"For the light of our hearts! For the justice of our ideals! Dozens of men clenched their right hands into fists in their hearts.

……

[Mission? A man who was surrounded by an incomparably powerful aura of death smiled coldly, raised his hand and crushed an undead spirit, and a trace of black qi flowed into his body. [I might as well accumulate some more strength if I have this time.] 】

……

"It seems that the ultimate goal of this mission should be this unslayed filthy creature." A white man in a tuxedo shook gently with a goblet of red wine, his pale blue eyes glittering with murderous intent. "It's really my appetite."

"It's time to bring the elite together." The man muttered to himself, then drank the red wine from his glass.

"I wonder how many of them are still alive?" A smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth, but then turned into a cruel smile: "The guy who can't survive is not an elite......, right?"

……

As the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse, and although the purple pillars of light didn't seem far away, it took Mo Wen and his party nearly three hours to come to the bottom of the purple pillar of light that was closest to them.

It was an incomparably huge magic circle, and the complex and mysterious patterns were confusing to see, and in the middle of those patterns, a white stone tablet that constantly emitted a rich purple light into the air stood quietly.

"Is this the teleportation array? It's so pretty......" Lias's eyes were full of little stars.

"Is this also a supernatural force?" The black god looked at the faint light flowing on the texture of the magic circle, and his heart was excited.

“…… It's beautiful indeed. Lori, the silent vampire, rarely opened her mouth again.

"Meow woo...... "The little white cat squawked with soy sauce.

[This thing is obviously a teleportation array...... But how do you use it? Mo Wen was silent for a moment, and then stepped out. [In that case, just give it a try.] 】

Mo Wen was right, the moment he stepped into the magic circle, the prompt sound of all spirits rang.

"Hint: You have reached the trigger point of the quest World Mission Chapter 2: The Redemption of the Ancestors, and pressing your hand on the stone tablet will open the World Mission Chapter 2: The Redemption of the Ancestors."

"Let's go." [There is actually a system prompt...... Looks like the Traveler's House wants us to accomplish this mission as well? Mo Wen's expression moved, and he waved at the loli behind him.

"That...... Master, can I touch this? "Although her body has developed quickly and she already has a considerable ability to think independently, Kuromi Takaki is still a girl who is full of curiosity about beautiful things. But she was able to resist her desires, and asked Mo before touching the flowing light with her hand.

On the side, Lias, who had already squatted down, suddenly retracted her hand.

"Yes." Mo Wen nodded: "These rays of light are just the energy that escapes, and the power that really drives the magic circle is actually flowing underground, and these constantly flowing rays of light in front of you are just a simple trick to cover your eyes." ”

"Really?" The little girl stretched out her little hand and swept over the lilac river, and sure enough, it brought a touch of brilliance and bloomed a beautiful smile: "It's so beautiful......"

"It's like an elf." Lias muttered as she watched the glow slip and disappear from her fingers.

"Meow~?" Xiaobai stretched out his little paw and lightly touched the scattered light, and screamed with some curiosity.

"Alright, little girls." Mo Wen, who was standing next to the stone stele, clapped his hands, "There are still many beautiful things in the world, and there are many opportunities, come here, I'm ready to activate the teleportation array." ”

"Got it." Although a little reluctant, the three little girls quickly leaned close to Mo Wen's side.

"Okay, I'm ready to teleport." Mo Wen pressed his hand on the stone tablet.

The light flashed, and the figure was gone.

……

An indescribable sense of distortion, the feeling of this spatial teleportation is many times more uncomfortable than the feeling of Mo Wen when he used the Thousand Miles Escape Technique before, the power of the teleportation array guidance violently tore through the space, and Mo Wen who was teleporting seemed to be able to feel the space screaming.

[Have a magic circle that can penetrate space and locate it, but does not give the teleported a little shelter...... Is it a test or do the indigenous people not need shelter at all? Eighty percent is the former! 】

The teleportation process was very painful, but fortunately it didn't last a long time. Ten seconds later, Mo Wen found that his feet had touched the ground.

"Whew...... It feels really nice to suddenly feel grounded. Mo Wen looked back behind him: "How is it?" How does space travel feel? ”

"It's so uncomfortable...... Lias drooped her eyelids, and although the kitten in her arms didn't move at all, her breath was still very steady, and she seemed to have fainted.

"It was a very special experience." Vampire Lori's face is also ugly, it seems that she has withstood that dizziness, and she has endured it without gaffe.

Compared with the two predecessors, the performance of the little black god can be said to be embarrassing.

The little girl is young and has little experience, her physique is even worse than Lias, and her soul power is not very strong, so her adaptability to this kind of situation is naturally far inferior. In the distorted space of the teleportation array, the black god only felt dizzy, and his stomach turned upside down, and at the moment when the teleportation ended, the little girl finally couldn't hold back the disgusting feeling in her chest anymore, and spit out with a 'wow'.

"Are you feeling better?" Mo Wen leaned over, patted her back gently, and handed over the towel by the way.

"It's okay...... Vomit! The little girl took the towel and covered her mouth.

"It seems that you are not in very good shape, so you want to take a break." Mo Wen handed the kettle over, and then took the opportunity to carefully observe the surroundings.

It was a small room, only about twenty square meters, and there was nothing in the room. The walls were made of a stone that glowed with a pale blue glow, densely carved with intricate patterns that Mo Wen could barely see through the glimmer of light, but unfortunately he couldn't understand the meaning.

Directly opposite the four of them was a black octagonal wooden door, and the light of pale green light slowly flowed along the beautiful pattern on the door panel, just like the teleportation array that Mo Wen had seen before.

[This is definitely a magic circle...... But what is this thing for? 】

Mo Wen approached slowly, wanting to take a closer look. However, just when he was still close to ten meters away from the door, the magic circle engraved on the door instantly shone brightly, and a pale green figure appeared in front of Mo Wen and the others.

“！” Mo Wen was startled, and suddenly took a step back, holding his sword and waiting for him.

The figure gradually became clear: it was a creature with a roughly human appearance, three arms and four legs, one meter four or five tall, wearing a lilac robe, completely inconsistent with Mo Wen's aesthetic face, and there was no grass on the round head...... It's like a deformed child who has been exposed to nuclear radiation.

"What kind of monster is this!" Lias hurriedly pulled the black god, who was still a little uncomfortable, and hid behind Mo Wen.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, latecomer, and my name is Lanclancy. Montrette, Master Lecturer at Wings of the Firmament. Just as Mo asked the four of them to be on guard, a strange voice sounded in their hearts. To Mo Wen's surprise, although he had not learned this language before, he could clearly understand what the other party meant.

[Idea call? Psychic communication? Or something else? Mo Wen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Your purpose?" ”

"I'd love to see this scene with my own eyes, but unfortunately, I guess I was already dead when you came here, and what I left here was just a phantom preserved by borrowing spells."

【…… Indeed, there is no breath of life, no soul power, this is just an ordinary illusion. Mo Wen breathed a sigh of relief, but the cloud shadow in his hand still didn't let go.

"And the reason why my visions are here is just to give you a story...... A very old-fashioned, very sad story. ”

"I hope you'll listen."

=== Storytelling dividing line ===

"Once upon a time, there were three empires on this beautiful continent, and hundreds of small tribes survived in the cracks between them. Although the three empires were constantly in conflict with each other, they also controlled each other, and there have been no major wars for thousands of years: the Karar dragons have settled in remote islands, and the archmages have been studying the mysteries of the world in Veria...... The known world has become more beautiful with our efforts, and the mystery of the unknown has been slowly unveiled by us. We are still immature and continue to grow in bumps and bumps, although we are inevitably intrigue and blood, betrayal and sacrifice, but we are always moving forward ......"

"Until that war comes."

"In the Aquamarine Age, at the beginning of the thirty-seventh year of the Silver Dragon Dance, the most talented mage ever was born in the royal family of the Lacebo Empire, and the cross-era invention of the magic teleportation array was also born, the inventor was the court archmage of Laceipo, in order to commemorate this great invention, Laceipo VIII gave his newborn son a quite appropriate name: Dicarus, which means the light of the arcane."

"As the third prince, Dicarus received the best education as a matter of course, and his extraordinary talent was soon revealed. At the age of three, he was able to successfully cast rudimentary magic and became an apprentice in magic; At the age of ten, he had become an intermediate magician, and he improved the magic teleportation array, greatly reducing the consumption of arranging the teleportation array, making the whole world more close; At the age of seventeen, as an archmage, he successfully improved the meditation method, giving countless mages with a slightly inferior talent hope for advancement; At the age of twenty, he was already a sage, and he used magical energy to successfully create food and water, which freed countless people from hunger...... One groundbreaking study after another was completed by Decarus, we are getting closer to the truth of the world, the power of knowledge is constantly changing our lives, and we have an incomparably better future...... At least that's what I thought at the time, as a high-level mage. ”

"But it's a pity that although spells have no borders, mages have their own countries; Although DiCarus, the sage of truth, was bent on studying spells and had no intention of supremacy on the throne, because of his presence, Lysipo's national power skyrocketed, which made the other two empires jealous...... Finally, in the autumn of the 123rd year of the Dance of the Silver Dragon, the Siamad Empire and the Yanio Empire declared war on the Lessibo Empire, which was originally named the Battle of the Continent, but as we remnants used to call it the War of the End, or ...... Original Sin War. ”

"The flames of war soon swept through the whole of civilized society, and one small country after another was drawn into it—of course, and no one wanted to be a wall-to-wall. Tens of thousands of soldiers are killed on the battlefield every day, and neither the powerful war race Clex nor the weak Polya can afford to refuse the invitation of the Grim Reaper...... Although Rasibo's power far surpassed that of either of the two empires, it was no match for the two empires combined. Driven to retreat by the sheer numerical superiority of their opponents, Lysipo's army finally struck as millions of troops surrounded the imperial capital of Lesippo, the Sage of Truth Decarus. ”

"I can't describe the scene at that time, I only know that in order to cast that spell, the Sage of Truth was in a coma for 100 days, and the three archmages who assisted in casting the spell died on the spot...... After that this spell is called the forbidden spell. The smile of the Grim Reaper, this is the first forbidden spell in the history of the continent. ”

"Although DiCarus severely damaged the combined forces of the two empires, the Laceipo Empire at this time was also unable to counterattack, and under the mediation of the Firmament Wings of the Austrofa Alliance, the three empires that were defeated finally chose a temporary truce, and the weakened DiCarus was forced to return to the headquarters of the Firmament Wings, Veria, while the remaining two empires also gave up the attack."

"But the war is far from over......"

Emperor Laisibo, who was forced to send away his brother, who had a good personal relationship with him, soon died of depression, and was succeeded by the fourth prince, Keriyasi. This Lai Xibo X is also a genius, whether it is conspiracy methods or military formation strategies, he is all proficient, and the eight-year continental war has allowed him to accumulate a lot of experience. After he succeeded to the throne, he began to reorganize his armaments and raise reserves. In less than a year, he started the war again, and unlike the conservative of Lysipo VIII, Clejasi chose to take the initiative to attack, and under his command Laisibo's army changed its previous decline and defeated the reorganized forces of the two empires. These are nothing, although there are not many famous generals who have been rampant in the world, but there are still more than ten on the continent in the past thousand years, and what makes us afraid is his extremely cold heart and very hot methods. Assassinations, poisonings, threats, death squad attacks, driving innocent people to be the vanguard...... All kinds of despicable means can be said to have buried the lives of countless soldiers of the Imperial Alliance. Although there was no right or wrong in the war, Kriassi's actions still aroused the discontent of a large number of people...... To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the fact that the royal blood of Lesippo had the Eternal Covenant and the Sage of Truth who had no choice but to harm others, I really doubt that the death of Lesippo VIII was his masterpiece. ”

Soon, Cleassi occupied about seventy percent of the land that had been exploited, countless small countries fell under his iron hooves, and the alliance of the two empires was on the verge of collapse...... Seeing that the mainland is about to be reunified, a new era is ushered in. And just then, a Clarks stepped forward. ”

"Compared to his kind, who are only good at charging into battle, this Clarx can be described as talented. Under his leadership, the weak Imperial Alliance slowly gained a foothold, and then successfully broke up the seemingly seamless Laceipo Empire coalition through a series of vertical and horizontal alliances...... If Kriassi is a once-in-a-century military strategist, then this Clex is a politician like no other in the world. ”

"It's a pity that this Klex didn't leave his name in the end, and we called him Kaslevin, which means unsung hero."

"Eventually, Kaslevin gathered a vast army that even Kriassi's talents could not handle, and the capital of the Lessibo Empire was once again surrounded by a large army. Unlike last time, because of Keriyasi's previous actions, the Sage of Truth gave up his support for the Lysipo Empire, and only made a simple request to preserve the continuation of the Lysibo royal family. ”

"Having lost the support of the Sage of Truth, Kriassi was in a real desperate situation, and a large number of soldiers escaped from the siege, and before the coalition could attack the city, the defenders of Lesipotti had changed from a hundred thousand to fifty or sixty thousand—and they had no fighting spirit."

"At the time, almost everyone thought that Kriassi had lost...... None of them were wrong, but they didn't expect him to drag the whole world to the same desperate situation. ”

"The Sage of Truth Dicarus was forced to return to Veria without anything, and his research and notes were left in the magic tower of the Lycipo Imperial Capital...... Among them was his invention of forbidden spells. The whole process of the Grim Reaper's smile. ”

"Forbidden spells. The Grim Reaper's Smile was a spell created by the Sage of Truth DeCarus through the study of a gem he had obtained from an unknown land, an undiscovered land—a gem that Decarus could perceive contained in the gem, and the genius magician racked his brains, but he could not safely draw out these powers. But he still learned a lot from this gem, the forbidden spell. The Grim Reaper's Smile is the ultimate spell he created by mimicking the power of the gem. ”

"No one could have imagined that Kriassi, who was unstoppable on the battlefield, was also quite accomplished in the path of magic, and he fully understood the scientific notes of the Sage of Truth, and used the gem as his last resort - even he himself could not control the power in the gem."

"On the day when the Great Army was besieging the city and Criassi was at the end of his rope, he gathered the last strength of the Imperial Mages of the Laceibo Empire, a total of six archmages and seventy-one high mages, and created a tiny crack in the top of the gem, in the name of the last resort to save the Empire."

"An irresistible force erupted from the gem, and the entire Lacey Poti was instantly transformed into a dead city, but it wasn't over yet. The power of that gem snowballed, and the more lives that died under that power, the greater the power of that gem...... In less than a day, there were only 100,000 lives left in the world. ”

"Those who can survive the erosion of the power of death are undoubtedly strong, but manpower is limited, and even the strong cannot insist on resisting the erosion of the power of death for twenty-a quarter of an hour a day. In order to allow us survivors to live longer, Dicarus, the Sage of Truth, traveled to the Dead City alone to retrieve the gem that was spreading the power of death and placed it on the moon. ”

After that, all the remnants gathered in Veria, and the powerful men worked together to build an enchantment to keep the forces of death out. Mages make food in enchantments, and warriors go out during the day to forage for items...... Having settled down, we thought that the disaster was over, and that as long as we worked together, the light of civilization would shine again on this continent. ”

Unfortunately, we were wrong, and in the following year, the fact that none of the 23,000 couples in the whole of Villeia had become pregnant and that the thirteen asexual breeding races could not produce a new generation made it clear to us. We have, already, no future at all. ”

"We were in despair when we discovered this fact, just before everyone's sanity was devoured by madness. Master Dicarus has finally cracked the secret of the gem's power. ”

"That gem is the embodiment of the concept of 'death' in the whole world, whose power was fueled by the death of countless lives in the final battle, and the power that spread continues to cause the death of other living beings...... It is this vicious circle that has led to the destruction of our world. ”

"Due to the spread of the power of death, the opposition between life and death in the whole world is completely unbalanced, although we old guys have avoided death because of our own strength, but we who are shrouded in death have long lost the qualification to create new life."

"But we still have a chance! Since we can find the manifestation of the power of death on the mainland, the manifestation of the life force should also exist! ”

"In the Age of Original Sin, in the second year of the end of the world, all the strong people with advanced power levels poured out of their nests and searched for this continent full of death. Although people continue to fall in the process, no one gives up...... Finally, a year and a half later, an archmage discovered the valley where the life force manifested, and Cadillus led the remaining powerhouses to defeat the undead guarding the valley and obtain the pale green crystal, which symbolized life...... But at this time, only fifty-three thousand one hundred people and sixty-three lives in the entire Wings of the Firmament survived. ”

"However, we have not achieved the desired result after paying such a big price, even if we have the life crystal, it is still difficult to reverse the current desperate situation - after the imbalance of life and death, the power contained in the life crystal has been greatly weakened, and without enough life force to support it, it is simply unable to compete with the death gem that harvested almost the life of the entire world."

"Master Dicarus had already guessed this outcome, he soothed us in despair, told us that the balance between life and death still exists, and that if anyone can rely on the life crystal to understand the mystery between life and death, we can solve our desperate situation, and then he gathered all the surviving archmages and began to study...... Three years later, when the first new life after the War of Original Sin was split off by the Lotesa patriarch with the help of Lord Dicarus, the entire Wings of the Sky was plunged into a sea of joy, and I seemed to see the light of the future......"

"Then, the Sage gave us a slap in the face."

"'If I had ten years to live, I was convinced that I would be able to unlock the mysteries of life and death. It's just ......,' Master Dicarus pointed to his snow-white sideburns, 'I've consumed too much of my life when I've been exposed to the power of death, and I'm running out of time. ’”

"The reality is so cruel, Lord Dicarus, who has advanced arcane cultivation, can live at least five hundred years old, but when he sent the Death Gem into the sky, his body suffered great damage......

"The weakened Lord DiCarrus has entrusted us with his final plan...... If none of us can grasp the true meaning of the life force, this is our ultimate salvation. ”

"Master Dicarus died six days later, and this peerless genius, who guided us like the sun, finally came to an end to his short but magnificent life. The rest of the people continue to work tirelessly on the Life Crystal. One year, two years...... Eight years, nine years...... Twenty years later, we who are still alive have finally died and comprehended something from the life crystal, and we have begun to carry out the last plan left to us by the Sage......"

====== dividing line at the end of the story ====

"Latecomers, if you are the natives of this world, be sure to remember this lesson, and do not use unmastered forces, which can easily destroy yourself. If you are visitors from another world, and the world is still full of death......" The old mage's bark-like face showed a look of obvious begging, "For the sake of great life, save this dead world!" The key to saving this world is sealed behind the door, please take it to the center of the Tower of the Celestial Instrument and activate the magic circle there......"

The old mage's stiff and thin body bent deeply.

"Please."
