All the known history of this world begins with the "Great Annihilation" of antiquity!

If the "Great Annihilation" is regarded as a barrier, then this invisible wall is obviously not a simple "event node", but a de facto "cut" the entire historical time flow!

Archaeologists have exhausted all their wisdom and efforts to restore the information before that time node, and there is not even any historical relic in the world that can point to the history before the Great Annihilation - even a stone with words engraved!

This desperate "black wall" has stood for 10,000 years in the eyes of scholars, and now Duncan's boat, who has returned from subspace, has given this wall a fitting name!

As the leader of the Academy of Truth and the Pope of the God of Wisdom, Rune can deeply appreciate the existence of that black wall and the subtlety of the saying "the limit of horizons"!

"Our world seems to have been created out of thin air at some point after the Great Annihilation, and the fragmented and contradictory history is only an ironclad proof of the existence of the 'horizon limit'."

In front of his three old friends, Lu Ne said with emotion: "Since the rise of the city-state, and even since the beginning of the Dark Ages, countless scholars have tried to trace back to the past, trying to find the source before the Great Annihilation.

"A second, even a second before the outbreak of the Great Annihilation, is blank and unverifiable, and even the three cantons mentioned in the Book of Blasphemy 'mentioned in the book of Annihilation of the Duncan's Ship Bush Annihilation' are only describing the history between the Great Annihilation and the establishment of the ancient kingdom of Crete, and the information before the limit of the horizon is still blank!"

"It's dangerous to use the heresy of cultists as a reference!"

Death Pope Banst couldn't help but remind from the sidelines!

Lu En shook his head slightly: "The danger of heresy lies in its demagogic nature and motives for causing evil, remove these influences, the 'Three Nights' itself is still a subject worth studying, and we have a lot of achievements in the dark ages after the collapse of the ancient kingdom of Crete, which are based on the study of the Sun Sect and the Annihilation Sect!"

All in all, all you're trying to say is that you can't explain what's going on with the Leviathan under the city-state.

And the Leviathan beasts that carry the church ark can't give us an answer.

Frem broke the silence, "Because this is an event that took place before the Great Annihilation, and all the information pointing to it is unknowable, unfathomable, and unprovable!"

Lune didn't speak, acquiescing to Frem's words!

Helena thought for a moment, then suddenly spoke: "But you can at least tell us where the Truth Academy found the four Leviathans - at least the behemoths that carry the four church arks were indeed found and resurrected by you, aren't they?"

They came from the border, after a border collapse on a massive scale'!

"Eastern Seas?" Banst subconsciously frowned!

"Yes, near the site of the Thirteen Isles of Visceland," Luan nodded.

"Since that terrible subspace disaster a century ago, the Eastern Curtain of Eternity has been a fragile node, where the fog often collapses inwards or temporary anomalies appear in the seas, as you should know!

”

Helena and Frem nodded silently, and Banster had a thoughtful look on his face, but neither of them interrupted Lune's words, but motioned for the other to continue!

"When the Truth Academy was in charge of patrolling the border, one of our ships encountered something strange there," Luan continued as he sorted out his memories as he continued to speak, "The exact circumstances are no longer known, because the crew of that ship had a serious cognitive confusion and memory gap during the incident, and it is impossible to accurately describe the experience during the incident afterwards, but there is a hastily written Yushi on the ship, which records part of the situation at that time!" ”

The sea suddenly sunken inward, like the edge of a strange 'bowl' smooth and calm, and the water seemed to freeze, but the ship did not fall with the sunken sea, but floated over the sunken sea!

The ship lost power, could not move forward or backward, and in a terrible way suspended at a height of hundreds of meters above the sea!

A behemoth emerged from the sunken sea, like some kind of creature!

"That's what one of the ship's crew hastily wrote down before they were delirious and their memories were destroyed!

“

Later, another of our fleets found the missing patrol boat, which was slowly drifting out of a mist with no power, the steam core was cold, everyone on board was asleep, and in the depths of the mist behind the ship, four behemoths appeared in the field of view of the search and rescue personnel!

"That's the Leviathan we found at sea, the giant beast moon that has long disappeared into the river of history, the apostle of the Storm Goddess!

”

You'll find out what happened next, the Academy of Truth managed to resurrect those legendary beasts, and built a huge church ark on them for the Church of the Four Gods!

Lune's story was over, and Frem and Banst were still thinking about it, but Helena gradually frowned: "Those Leviathans are actually one of the border relics, no wonder you have been avoiding talking about these details before, it turns out that it is related to the collapse of the border!"

"The knowledge of border collapses increases the probability of border collapses occurring within the civilized world, and the closer you get to it, the more likely it is, a pattern that Duncan Abnomar summed up a century ago when he was a great explorer."

Rune nodded.

"But now it's been decades since the Truth Academy discovered Leviathan's border collapse, and it's not so dangerous to talk about these things anymore!"

"I'm a little confused!"

Frem suddenly said at this time, "Although the scale of the church ark is large, it is obviously not a level compared to the city-state, if the biological structure at the bottom of the city-state is really a Leviathan, then their volume is several times the size of the church ark Leviathan, is this really the same population?"

"Who knows?"

Rune spread his hands, maybe the four Leviathans we found at the border! Is it just some kind of 'small individual' or 'juvenile'?

"Theoretically, it shouldn't be," Helena shook her head, "I've often communicated with the Leviathan of the Church Ark, although there was a hint of anti-Confederacy in the past."

"Then the problem is with the biological tissues at the bottom of the city-state, perhaps they are mutants of a very large size

Possibly! ”

"It has to do with the impact of those blueprints in the deep sea!" Lu En guessed as he said, "After all, if the information from the Lost Country is good, then all the city-states on the Boundless Sea can actually be counted as the creations of the ancient gods, and even those biological structures at the bottom of the city-states are likely to be the result of the secondary processing of the Secluded Holy Lord!"

At this, Rune suddenly stopped, then shook his head a little self-deprecatingly, brushed his eyes with his hand, and made a gesture of prayer to Lachem, the god of wisdom: "May the Lord forgive me, it feels strange to talk about such heretical statements!"

"May Allah Forgive"

Helena and Fram also make their own gestures of prayer to confess to the Storm Goddess and the Eternal Flame behind them!

As the leaders of the church, they can look at these topics that are on the verge of taboo and even heresy from a higher perspective, and can analyze the information from heretics with a calmer attitude and a more practical perspective, but as the spokesmen of the four gods, they are also bound by the precepts of their respective sects, and when they talk about certain dangerous topics, the disobedience and resistance in their hearts are inevitable after all!

Only the spokesperson of the god of death, the tall, thin, and old-looking Banst never spoke, as if he had been in deep thought since just now!

"Banster"

Lune's attention was on the silent spokesman of the Grim Reaper, "You looked absent-minded from the beginning!"

"I'm thinking about a question, Run" Banster finally looked up, his sunken eye sockets as deep as night "The Thirteen Isles of Visceland--the place where those Leviathans were found was near the waters of the Thirteen Isles of Vesselland, don't you think it's worth paying attention to?"

Rune nodded calmly, obviously expecting Banster's attention to fall on this detail!

"I know what you're trying to say - the Lost Country!"

The elven old man said slowly, "A hundred years ago, the Lost Land opened a door to subspace on the Thirteen Isles of Visserland, dragging all the islands and inhabitants into the depths of the terrifying world, and this event also caused the space-time structure of the entire sea to be extremely fragile, and there were frequent anomalies!

From this point of view, there is a certain causal connection between the incident that happened to the patrol ship of the Truth Academy decades ago and the incident on the Thirteen Islands of Visserland!"

Speaking of this, he paused suddenly, raised his head and looked at Banst very seriously, and continued: "But we can't so simply think that it was the Lost Country that sent the Leviathan Behemoth into the real world, this lack of evidence is not enough

Theoretical support!"

"But it's true that those four Leviathans entered our real world due to some kind of continuous influence of the Thirteen Isles of Vesserland, and this matter of Rune was actually risky from the beginning!"

"You don't want the Ark of the Church?"

"Yes!"
