"This is the land of the gods, the remnants of the 'cataclysm'."

Just as Klein scanned the surrounding illusions, Hermes suddenly spoke: "Back then, the gods who participated in the war chose the battlefield on the sea, but as soon as they reached the edge of the continent, the situation began to deteriorate rapidly, and in the end, the gods had to fight on the coast of the eastern continent. ”

"In the end, the aftermath of the disaster devastated the entire Eastern Continent, but fortunately, the Southern and Northern Continents did not suffer much damage."

Hermes sighed and whispered:

"It's obviously not a good thing, but it's not the worst bad thing either."

Not the worst......

Klein was silent, he remembered that he was also a student who was very interested in the history of the Quaternary Period, but the history at that time had been packaged and changed too much by later generations, and after the relevant buildings were discovered, what was waiting was not archaeology and excavation, but destruction and burial.

However, the Aurora Society still preserves a considerable part of the Quaternary history, artifacts, texts, and seals, after all, the true creator was the only righteous god at that time. Crane was given a fairly high level of authority, and naturally he was able to borrow almost all the materials and books to help him play the role of a scholar of digestion. Therefore, he knew that in an extraordinary world, that era was too dazzling and simply shocking.

"I know what the Eastern Continent is like, dark, dangerous, terrifying, and it's not a place where humans should live at all."

Hermes walked ahead, his back straight, and he didn't look like an old man.

"The Angel of the Word who walked there in place of the true Creator is my junior, but his spirit has fallen into madness in the Fourth Age, and he thinks that the suffering of the people of God's forsaken land is atonement, on the grounds that the Creator cannot be wrong, and the destruction of the Eastern Continent must be because the people of the Eastern Continent did wrong things first. I think He's having a brain problem, after all, 'I am guilty' is easier to accept than 'the Lord is imperfect.' ”

"Oh, what are they guilty of? He himself is not guilty, and the law should prohibit fanatical believers from passing on such negative and wrong thoughts. ”

Crane coughed, hiding the corners of his mouth that were beginning to rise.

Hermes sneered:

"Later, when Adam said that He had the power to resurrect the sun god and seemed more reliable than the real Creator, I helped Him."

"Later, the True Creator returned to normal and recruited me again. Something happened to Adam at the time, and I saw that He didn't take revenge on the followers of the Eternal Sun when he took back Intis, so I decided to come back and help Him. ”

People have relied on extraordinary power to build a splendid and extraordinary world civilization. However, in the historical record, the nobles are omnipotent, and the commoners and the low-order extraordinary are only sacrifices that may be put on the altar with animals at any time, and the narrator faithfully records every sacrifice, and also records every celebration of the empire, which makes Crane creepy and unusually divided.

"Black Emperor" is not the title of every emperor of Solomon's empire, but the name of the gods;

Emperor Solomon cooperated with the true creator and used the power of the two gods to work together to deter the six gods at that time. And the god of death in the southern continent still exists, and the six gods can only go to the border places of the northern continent to preach, which is unprecedented downfall.

When looking through and reviewing these records, Klein always strives to ensure that he has a fair and objective attitude.

After all, the writers of these records were members of the Solomon Empire at the time, or the high-ranking members of the Aurora Society, and it was inevitable that the narrative would be personal, to overly belittle the gods, or overly praise the Solomon Emperor and the true Creator.

- But as it turned out, the power of the great emperor and the fallen creator was still limited, and when the six gods stopped their intriguing and meaningless behavior and found a breakthrough within the empire, they both inevitably failed, and Solomon died.

After that, there was the betrayal of two of Solomon's subordinates in the same order.

The two angels of the "lawyer" path, Arista Tudor and Trenthorst, together with the six gods, betrayed and killed Solomon, robbed him of his extraordinary qualities, and promoted to Sequence One, beginning the era of the two archons standing side by side.

Before Solomon's return, Tudor and Trenthorst, who sensed that Sequence One were about to leave him, made different choices.

Trenthorst chose to join the camp of the six gods, safely changed the path to become the true god "Inquisitor" of the "Arbiter" path, and won the support of the blood clan for himself by marriage, while Alista Tudor united with his own angel king dukes to kill the three conquerors, becoming the Sequence 0 of the Hunter's Path, the first "Red Priest".

The Black Emperor returned from death and occupied the north to start the Second Empire.

Later, there was the mighty Battle of the Four Emperors, and three of the Four Emperors fell.

The crazy "Blood Emperor" fell, and Trensost, who was protected by the six gods, did not escape and died with the Queen of the Blood Moon.

The only survivor and biggest profiteer, the "Hades", devoured the sequence one and uniqueness of the "Red Priest", and then pushed the "Pale Plague" to madness, and the history of the Quaternary finally came to an end.

There is no such thing in the official history, this retrograde history is described as "the normal order of the three empires of Solomon-Tudot-Trenthorst", there is no duke betrayal of Solomon who is both a god and an emperor to seize power, and there is no world where extraordinary forces intervene, and even these empires are under the protection of the six gods in history, and the belief has existed since ancient times.

Klein remembered himself as a researcher of history, a scholar of ancient history. He did not condemn the gods for rewriting history, nor did he complain about these ruined empires, but only felt that the destroyed ancient buildings were a pity.

From the perspective of a scholar, he is just a spectator.

"I've been to the ruins of the Divine War."

Crane scanned the sea below, remembering every anomaly marked by Hermes, observing the remnants of divine power there.

Hermes laughed, "Are you looking for a mermaid?" ”

"Yes." The original trip seemed like it was just yesterday, and Klein couldn't help but feel a little emotional—at the same time, he felt that his current mentality was really funny, and it was obviously only the first half of the year, and it was time to use the word "memory".

"Well, after Zarathu's promotion sequence got out of control, he gathered and devoured many seals and extraordinary beings in the Esoteric Order, and the mermaids were also turned into secret puppets by him. Until He returns to normal, no one will dare to use those secret mermaids to advance ...... In addition, some of the mermaids in the breeding area are devotees of the goddess of the night, and I don't know why the goddess is so interested in the 'soothsayer' route. ”

Klein didn't answer, he noticed that there was a small sea forest in the ruins of the Divine War, and couldn't help but ask:

"Life, plants, growth, that's the remnants of Mother Earth's divine power?"

Hermes glanced down and nodded, "Yes." ”

"Mother Earth Goddess was also in the original 'Feast of Betrayal'? Then God of War ......"

"I've never told you how many people there are in the Rose of Redemption, you can guess." Hermes said jokingly, he led Klein forward, did not directly reveal the information, but guided Klein to think, and unearthed the secrets of history by himself, "You should know that the original sun god, the all-knowing and all-powerful Lord, is not a single true god, and it can even be said that he has collected the five adjacent paths...... Coupled with the Chaos Sea, this has caused a qualitative change, you say, if you want to kill such an existence, how can it be enough to just be the king of angels? ”

Crane's eyes widened, and the blurred image of the "Rose of Redemption" in his mind took shape, and the angels and gods gathered around the long table.

He quickly followed Hermes's footsteps and uttered his speculation in the manner of a scholar:

"So, are the participants almost all, no, all the gods?"

"At that time, there were no six gods, in addition to the Mother Earth God, the God of War and the Goddess of Night, the other three were also the King of Angels, as well as the Dark Angel, the War Angel, and the Destiny Angel, in addition, did the Grim Reaper of the Southern Continent also participate in this murder?"

He clearly remembered what the little "sun" and the clergyman apparition that Colin Iliad had met in the afternoon town had said, a being whose name could not be said tempted by the temptation of Sasliel, the kings frequented the palace, from where great calamity would begin...... In addition to the king of angels, there are also gods, combined with the truth of the suicide of the ancient sun god, Sasriel, who symbolizes his half, is not so much tempted as his real thoughts, and the two of them conspire to kill themselves, and pass on the illusion of "the gods plotting to murder the creator" to the afterlife.

Unexpectedly, the ancient sun god was really killed and eaten.

The plan exceeded the Creator's expectations, and the murder that was supposed to save him came true.

As he made this guess, Crane had a vague sensation as if he saw a dark fog of history coming at him, and a corner of one of the areas completely shrouded in the fog was about to be lit up by him.

But it didn't light up after all.

The corners of Hermes's mouth raised slightly:

"You're smart, but, that's not already."

Still a little bit? Yes, I don't know what the name of the person who was erased was, he must be among the gods, but I don't know who it is, and why did he erase his own name alone......

Klein felt the fog, felt the connection between himself and it, but couldn't light it up. He had to give up the idea of inquiry for a while and press it to the bottom of his heart. After all, the answer is most likely in the Eastern Continent.

He followed Hermes in mid-air, passing by the forests of the sea where life was flourishing, the sea was lifeless, and the sea was full of thunder and lightning storms, and suddenly, when the bright sunlight was shining directly, Crane's ears suddenly sounded a burst of words with a strong sense of madness.

It was like a thin steel needle that pierced his eardrum and pierced his brain, filling his every thought with great pain in addition to familiarity.

And the "spirit worms" that make up his mythical biological form are gradually changing, as if they are about to give birth to a fallen consciousness that does not belong to him.

The whisper of the "true Creator"!

Are there also the whispers of the real Creator in dreams? Mr. Hermes, are your dreams a little too realistic?

Sometimes there is a chaotic roar, and sometimes it is a variety of chaotic spliced knowledge, which makes people's heads big in a physical sense. In this regard, Crane was able to barely resist it, but it was difficult to hold on for too long, and he couldn't go too far in the "Divine War Relic".

Just then, he suddenly saw Hermes stop, cough, and smile a little.

"Here we are."

"We're at our destination," Hermes said. ”

The murmuring did not abate, but Crane felt inexplicably relieved, and he was dragged a few steps forward by Hermes, landing on an unknown island, which was so wrapped in thick darkness that he could barely reach his fingers.

"The darkness here is dangerous, very similar to the Eastern Continent...... There are 'hidden' elements and there are 'shadows'. Hermes introduced him as if they were really walking on the island, "The power of the two gods has blended together, causing the night here to be muted, and only this path is safe, which is the path that the aurora will open up." ”

The murmuring in his head subsided a little, and Crane looked up to see a door suddenly appear in front of him.

In dreams, the appearance of doors and borders has more symbolic meanings.

Hermes pushed the door open first, and the back of the door was filled with a dusk-like orange glow.

Crane's eyes widened and he looked inside, only to see the majestic giant-like structure he had seen in his dream appear behind the door, and the darkness around the door was still so thick that it seemed to be impossible to dissolve. He followed Hermes into the door, as if "teleporting", and his surroundings changed suddenly, and he stood in the midst of that magnificent "collective dream", the sky above him was gray, but the sky in the distance was shrouded in the light of dusk. He looked up and saw the Black Monastery and the epic and mythical projection of the "Court of the Giants" on the other side of the cliff.

"Your 'Black Sage' once passed through this monastery and made a pilgrimage to the Eastern Continent."

Hermes thought he hadn't been here, so he gave Klein a brief introduction:

"He had a deep faith in the Creator, the One in the Holy Book and the Bible, and because of his piety he was given the opportunity to lead a pilgrimage."

"That is, the time it was codified into a codex."

But that trip took a toll on his spirit, and witnessing the remains of the city-state and the plight of the electorate, Leomast doubted his faith. Coupled with the fact that the Eastern Continent was filled with his whispering, his spirit soon went wrong. ”

He was then drawn to go again, but before he could enter, he had an accident and was trapped in the monastery by an extraordinary object, which caused heavy casualties among the other believers in his lead. Fortunately, he finally got the help of a passing oracle who brought him back to normal. ”

Passing by the oracle who endured the whispers of the true Creator, Crane pondered the meaning of these words, looked at the black abbey in the distance, and asked with some surprise:

"Is that the entrance to Godforsaken?"

"This is the entrance to this road."

That is to say, if I had wandered around and opened one of the doors of the monastery in my dreams, I might have suddenly appeared in the Godforsaken Land...... At that time, I was only in sequence 6, and I would definitely die without any suspense...... Klein sweated himself.

"Isn't it necessary to enter the dream at a specific location to open the entrance?"

"In general, that's right."

Hermes nodded, pulled Klein directly to the Black Abbey, and stepped into the square in front of him with traces of fighting:

"If it were a normal way to open it, you would have to take a boat all the way to the heart of this sea of ruins after leaving this monastery, which could take more than a month and go through a lot of dangers that you can't afford at the moment."

"You can't take it."

After Hermes finished speaking, the words suddenly changed: "I can't either." ”

Crane froze.

"So we need to wait here for a guide." Hermes winked at Crane and suddenly gave him a hard push.

A strong sense of weightlessness came suddenly, and Crane suddenly fell, aking up from his dream suddenly!

Immediately afterward, he found that he was not lying on the bed in his bedroom, but in his pajamas and was being carried by a man on his shoulder, and the spiky and angular black armor almost poked him directly in the face, causing him to have a pain in the ribs.

Crane was startled, first to see what was happening, first to extreme shock to realize that he had appeared in front of the real black convent, and then to see the person carrying him with red hair. When he looked again, the gray-haired Hermes was standing not far away, admiring the surrounding scenery with a "I don't know anything" look, and began to dig around as if he were archaeological.

Medici threw him to the ground, Crane reflexively rolled over and stood firmly, and the red angel clapped his hands and smiled:

"Surprised, surprised?"

"In order for you to enter, I prayed to the serpent several times. It just so happens that He is still awake, and I think it is just right, so I won't waste time, you know, the 'just' of fate is very precious! ”

So you moved me here while I was dreaming? Klein was incredible. The whisper I just felt wasn't imitated by Hermes, it was the dream I was actually walking through that sea? Can you angels discuss this with me in advance?

"Alright, let's go."

Medici patted Crane on the shoulder and dragged him directly in the direction of the Black Abbey: "Don't waste the precious time of the Great Snake!" ”

Hermes also quickly followed from the side, giving Crane an apologetic look. Immediately afterward, Klein felt in a trance, and the world around him seemed to suddenly become gray, as if the pixels and saturation had decreased together.

Once again, they entered the world of dreams.

"This monastery is a patchwork of dreams."

Hermes explained to Klein, "These are dreams of different beings from the Divine War Ruins, both past and present. ”

Medici, who was at the forefront, quickly approached the gate of the monastery that seemed to be prepared for giants, and on the black gate that Klein had pushed open with his own hands when he had come last time, there was a relief of a white serpent with an omoboros at some point.

"Yo! Orochi, how's it going? ”

Medici stepped up and touched the head of the silver-white serpent on tiptoe, but the serpent did not resist the warm greeting of his colleagues, and he turned his head slowly, and the figure of Crane was reflected in his ruby eyes.

Crane tensed, but nothing happened.

It was only a moment before Ulorius withdrew his gaze, he let go of his bitten tail, and his relief-like body roamed nimbly around the gate, which naturally opened as if to welcome guests who had embarked on this pilgrimage route for the first time in decades.

"I miss it."

Medici's face became serious, and he nodded an inverted cross on his chest, and then stretched out his hand to greet the two people behind him: "Okay, let's go!" ”

"It's been a long time."

Hermes muttered to himself, pointing out a positive cross.

Crane looked left and right, scratched his chest a few times, and then followed the two angels into the gate.

The silver-white serpent swam down from the gate, his body getting bigger and bigger, from a wrist-thick python to a giant snake that seemed rather grotesque and shocking in his dreams, his body was as thick as four people encircling him, he glanced at Crane again, and then came to the front of Medici, and snaked himself into a long, winding up silver-white staircase.

The staircase stretched to the heights, and the sky in the dream could not be seen, only an endless stream of light could be seen.

And the body of the giant serpent makes people dizzy, looking at it, it seems as if it has really become a staircase, and the golden sunlight has become a swirling corridor wall, and the corridor is hung with one blurry painting after another.

Klein indulges in these bizarre dream symbols, and the high points of the corridor seem to be adorned with painted stained glass windows of a religious nature, through which sunlight shines and brings a rainbow of sacredness.

Walking in such a dream, even a person with no faith like Klein can feel the shock of the heart.

It wasn't until Hermes kindly pushed him that he came to his senses and hurried to keep up with Medici.

"This plan, for us, is indeed more secure." Edward said, "But I don't want to help you." I can give you some of my memories, and for the rest, you can find a dead man with extraordinary traits yourself. ”

"Plans? Does the plan make any sense to you? ”

After a few seconds of silence, Edward spoke angrily:

"Remember that our purpose is to survive, and the rest is up to you, and if you don't trouble me, I'll be satisfied."

"But I have to say, your proposal is interesting - I still won't choose to have a good relationship with him, humans can't trust each other, and I definitely won't bet that he can treat the real outer gods as colleagues. If I had known that the fate of the Lord of Secrets would cling to Klein like a dogskin plaster, I would absolutely, definitely leave Earth early, I would not have come down at all, this is a farce from beginning to end! And it's quite a bad farce! ”
