Chapter 20: The Stone Statue
José quickly calmed down, so he took the lighter in his hand and shone it on the third picture, and another scene of war came into view, and the two men who had been standing side by side now seemed to be enemies, one with his spear pierced into the shield of the other, and behind each of them there were countless people fighting.

Su Ya's face was pale, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "...... After a few years, the two gods broke up, and their descendants also killed each other, and then the goddess of light sealed the demons in the nine shadows, chasing out their ethnicity, which is called the 'battle of sealing the demons'......"
"The Battle of the Demons?" Jonse sighed secretly, but this history was just as recorded in the Temple of Light.
According to Suya, after Ragnarok, only the Demon God and the Goddess of Light are left in the world. Later, the demon god connived at the demon race to enslave and kill all races, provoking all races to resist, and the coalition represented by humans prayed for the blessing of the goddess of light, and just like the temple glorifying the glorious miracles of the goddess, the goddess finally had compassion on the world, defeated the demon god, and won freedom and light for the world.
Later, the goddess of light sealed the demon god in the purgatory of the abyss of the earth with supreme divine power, and created a powerful divine beast to guard it, so that he would be imprisoned in purgatory for eternity.
And the goddess has compassion for the living beings, can't bear to kill too much, just banished the demons to the end of the continent, and set up countless powerful magic barriers, so that they can never return to the continent to invade the races, the last battle of this mythical era is called the "Battle of the Sealing Demons", and the temple records it as the "War of Light".
"Let's take a look at the next one," Jose turned his gaze to the last painting, but unexpectedly found that the last painting seemed to be blurred and illegible due to weathering, and could only vaguely see a few words, Su Ya glanced at it casually, and then smiled bitterly: "It seems that only this one word can be seen here, it means 'prophecy'......"
"Prophecy?" José secretly connected the contents of these murals in his heart, combined with what Su Ya said before, it seemed that this was just a relic of an unknown civilization from a long time ago, but what was difficult to understand was the authenticity of these words similar to the elves, and the stories recorded.
Suddenly, Joseph noticed that there seemed to be a black object on the edge of the cave wall, and he carefully moved the firelight over, only to find that there seemed to be a long stone on the edge of the cave wall.
When Joseph looked closer, he realized that the stone turned out to be a statue. The statue is only thirty or forty centimeters tall, somewhat similar to the size of a trophy.
Qiao Se carefully picked up the stone statue and found that it was not very heavy in his hand, although it was already covered with dust, but he could still feel its delicate texture, and it was a little warm in his hand, similar to jade translucent.
The stone statue is carved with a man in a robe, holding a spear and a shield, with a harmonious natural power and beauty. Jose couldn't help but sigh secretly, the works of those master carvers in the real world are probably nothing more than that.
The base of the statue appears to be made of some kind of metal, and there is a small inscription around the base, which José notices appears to be the same script as the symbol on the cave wall.
Jose glanced at Su Ya and asked with some curiosity, "Can you recognize who this stone statue is carved from?" and handed the stone statue in his hand to Su Ya.
After Su Ya took the stone statue, her face was a little solemn, and she looked at it carefully for a while and said, "The inscription carved on the base of this stone statue reads, 'Lord of All Things...... The God of Creation', it seems...... This is supposed to be a statue of the creator god. ”
Su Ya then explained: "Generally speaking, most of the gods worshipped by each race are the gods of their own race, such as the beast god, the goddess of light, etc., and only the elven race worships nature and all things, so in addition to worshipping the elven god, they also believe in the creation god who created everything in the world, and it looks like this is indeed the remains of a certain elven tribe." ”
After Su Ya finished speaking, she casually returned the stone statue to Qiao Se, thought for a moment and said, "This stone statue should be a ritual vessel used by the ancestors of this ruin." After speaking, he looked at the mural in some silence.
Qiao Se took the stone statue and held it in his hand, and saw Su Ya's silent appearance, thought for a moment and said, "Su Ya, in fact, you don't have to think too much, after all, no one is sure whether the things here are true or false." And each civilization has a different understanding of the legend, so you don't have to worry too much about it. ”
Su Ya smiled bitterly, shook her head and said: "I understand what you said, although I am not a very loyal believer, but I still understand this matter, what is recorded here must be just their own opinion, I am not confused because of these, but this strange elven script is really ...... Forget it, let's move on. ”
José nodded, although the murals and texts here are shocking, after all, the priority now is to get out of here.
Looking at the stone statue in his hand, Joseph's heart moved, and instead of putting it back in its original position, he carefully placed the stone statue in his arms.
Seeing this, Su Ya just frowned, and didn't say anything, so the two continued to walk forward by the light of the lighter, but the more they walked, the more shocked Jose's heart became, and he found that this cave seemed to be extraordinarily large!
At first, the two of them could still grope to see the cave wall, but after walking for a while, they could hardly see the wall of the opposite cave, and in the end, the two of them were almost like walking in the desert at night, and they could only rely on the cave wall on one side to grope their way forward.
José tried to take a few steps to the other side, but unexpectedly found that he couldn't find the opposite cave wall at all, and in desperation, the two had to grope along the cave wall little by little, and after walking for a while, José stopped.
He looked at Su Ya with a strange expression, "Su Ya, do you feel anything wrong?" Su Ya also smiled bitterly and said, "You also feel it, not bad...... We seem to be back to where we were. ”
Joseph frowned, he had just made some marks on the wall of the cave he had walked on to be on the safe side, but now, the mark appeared on the wall of the cave not far in front of him!
"What's going on?" José looked around warily, cautiously looking around despite the faint light from the lighter, "No matter how big this cave is, we can't get lost along the side, and we don't come across any forks in the road or something, so I can only think of one possibility...... Something's going on!"
Su Ya took the wand in her hand, closed her eyes, and expanded her spiritual power little by little, but soon she found that her spiritual power was beyond a certain range, and she couldn't sense things, as if it was like ...... Restrained by some kind of power.
After explaining what she felt to Jose, Su Ya couldn't help but say, "It's really a bit weird, it's hard to sense the fluctuations of the magic elements in the air here, and it seems to be limited by some kind of powerful force. ”
"Powerful power?" José hurriedly asked, "Could it be the Demon Scorpion King's ghost?"
Su Ya shook her head, "Not really, the Demon Scorpion King is in a period of weakness, and even if it recovers, the control of this kind of spatial magic element is not something it can master, after all, it is just a magical beast." ”
José touched his nose, a little puzzled, but no matter what, the feeling of being led by the nose always made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Forget it, since we can't go out now, we might as well stay here for the time being," Qiao Se sat helplessly on the ground, put the sighing frost in front of him, and saw Su Ya, who was silent next to him, and then smiled at the girl, and said lightly: "Su Ya, we will definitely be able to go out." ”
Su Ya also smiled and said gently, "You comforted me...... Actually, I think we can get out of here......"
Seeing that the girl's tone was gentle, José couldn't help but feel a little relieved, the two were left in the dark cave at the moment, and they could only barely see each other by the faint light of the lighter.
Jose watched Su Ya close her eyes and meditate again, she was a little silent for a while, and after repeatedly looking at the surrounding environment, she turned off the lighter, and simply closed her eyes in the dark, sat cross-legged on the ground, and went through the events of more than ten days in her mind.
Speaking of which, it has been more than ten days since he came to this world, and after calming down the initial complex emotions of fear, confusion, and curiosity, what José feels the most is perhaps ...... Powerlessness, a deep sense of powerlessness.
In the real world, he is just an ordinary person with a bit of a micro-home, living a muddy life in college every day, playing games, chasing goddesses, and never thinking about what he has to pursue.
Maybe I was a person who was at ease with what happened, and I didn't have much ambition, and although I didn't understand what I wanted, at least I didn't take the time to think about life or myself.
But after these days of almost "fugitive" life, José thought a lot, can he still go home, can he get out of this desert, or even ...... Will you be able to survive on your own?
After the initial confusion and evasion, there was something very strange in Jose's heart, like in the moment of facing the death threat of the Demon Scorpion King, his heart was very calm, and he finally knew what he wanted.
This is the most determined thought in Joseph's heart, I must live and return to my own world.
But it wasn't until that moment that he clearly realized his powerlessness! The fragility of life, if it weren't for Su Ya's appearance, he might have died a long time ago, just so silently and humbly.
I'm too weak to even survive in this world, and if I can't even survive, what can I do?" Joseph suddenly had a strong desire in his heart...... I'm going to be strong.
Maybe it was seeing Su Ya's amazing fighting spirit and magic, maybe it was seeing the Scorpion King's strong body and magic power, or maybe it was the undead knight who could shock Jose even with his breath......
One by one, they are all so powerful, but they still can't seem to control their own fate...... Are they really powerful?
Still is......
Suddenly something seemed to be felt in Joseph's heart, as if he had fallen into a strange feeling, and he was slowly losing consciousness without even noticing it......
At this time, Su Ya, who was meditating, suddenly opened her eyes, and her spiritual power suddenly felt a strong change, and the elements in the air were actually running rapidly.
Su Ya just stood up and was about to say something to Joseph, but she was surprised to see bursts of blue light radiating from Joseph's arms, and when she looked down, it turned out to be the mysterious "badge" on Joseph's chest.
And at this moment, the stone statue in Joseph's arms also appeared on the coat of arms, with a little soft and faint light!
The faint blue light slowly swirled around Joseph, and finally slowly concentrated on the center of Joseph's eyebrows, as if it was "injecting" light into his mind!
Su Ya was shocked, although she couldn't feel whether the light was a fluctuation of some kind of magic element, but seeing this scene, she didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly shouted to Joseph: "Jose, wake up quickly......", as she spoke, she stretched out a hand to push Joseph awake.
What Su Ya didn't expect was that as soon as her fingers touched Jose, a huge force suddenly spread out from Joseph's body, and the huge countershock force shook Su Ya, who was defenseless for a while, to the ground.
Su Ya's mind went blank, and then her body went limp, and she collapsed weakly, and her consciousness slowly blurred......
At this time, the light on the stone statue became more and more intense, almost illuminating the entire cave as if it was day, and a huge magic array suddenly appeared on the ground under Qiao Se and the two, and the light quickly poured into the magic array, and the magic array began to operate slowly.
Finally, when all the remaining light was infused into the magic circle, the stone statue seemed to be weathered, scattered like dust, and only the mysterious "badge" on Joseph's chest still flickered. A blue magical enchantment enveloped the magic array, enveloping the two of them at the same time.
In the end, the light of the magic array dissipated, and only wisps of faint blue light remained in the cave, lingering around the two of them from time to time......
