Chapter 281: Extraneous Aliens

"God on God? The most primordial god of the astral plane? ”

Astral Arka can almost understand, it should refer to the entire universe.

What they understand is the world that envelops the world.

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that.

"Then such a god is ...... compared to the words of the four gods," Simon couldn't help but ask.

Although it was a bit of a perverse question to ask, as a mechanic, he simply couldn't resist his inner curiosity.

"The Mother of Stone, the Life, the Wise, the God of the Sea. Are you talking about the 4 of them? ”

Simon nodded.

"Life and wisdom do not know, I do not know their deeds. However, Shi Mu and Poseidon are more famous outside. Brass Hammer said.

The meaning of this is obvious.

To put it simply, life and wisdom are obviously weaker than the other two gods.

At least that's what the dwarf meant.

This doesn't make Simon and Julia a little silent.

I only heard the bronze hammer continue: "Only these two gods can be called gods in the entire astral boundary. ”

When these words came out, the two of them were even more uncomfortable.

"Okay, okay, that's the end of the noun explanation, shouldn't I talk to you about the world I've experienced?

These terms are of little use when understood. ”

As he spoke, he began to speak again.

"Speaking of which, 300 years ago, I was in a very, very powerful world, and I must tell you about it."

"It's a mountain world, but unfortunately I didn't know how high the mountain was until I left."

"Mountain World?" Everyone's attention was immediately diverted.

But what does the mountain world mean?

"A world made of mountains?" Arka couldn't help but ask.

For the Shadetti, both the mountains and the land were incomprehensible things.

Probably only Lucilia knows something from some ancient texts.

"No, no, no, it's much better than that." Copper Hammer said with a wave of his hand.

"It's a huge mountain floating in the middle of the astral plane, and all kinds of life lives in it."

It turns out that this is what the mountain world means.

I can't imagine what it looks like at all.

Arka scratched his head and thought, the whole thing is directly a mountain, so wouldn't the people living below be able to see the astral boundary directly?

Not even the sky can be seen.

And what about the sun?

I can't think of it, this is completely beyond his cognition.

"It's a pity that that place is very repulsive to outsiders, and I was forcibly excluded after only a while."

"Is there anything else like this?" Alka asked next to him.

Copper Hammer nodded: "Of course, most of the world has such a repulsive force, and has a different attitude towards outsiders.

The world I would go to, at least with no ill will towards outsiders. In fact, at least half of the world is full of malice towards outsiders. ”

"This is the most basic defense mechanism in the world, and most of the ones that are not malicious are the worlds that are very confident in themselves, you know."

Everyone understood this very well and nodded.

After all, no one knows what kind of changes and destruction a life that is alien to the world will bring to the world.

But no one asks why their world is not repulsive.

It's good that their worlds can be put together, and they are still self-aware of this.

Everyone chatted with the dwarf for a long time in the living room of the dilapidated house, but most of it was the dwarf who was sharing.

He seems to be happy to share his experience with others and is very proud of his professional experience and learning.

However, for Acre, there is not much use for them except to be able to broaden their horizons.

They don't have the power to leave this world.

Then the people who opened their glasses also briefly told the situation in the sea area of the four dwarves.

"It's a reasonable construction, but it's not an easy behavior. Sure enough, as I thought, it seems that these four gods are not born gods. ”

The dwarf muttered to himself.

He seems to have a habit of talking while thinking, and he needs to speak to clear his thoughts.

"What do you mean?" Arka couldn't help but ask next to him.

The dwarf cleared his thoughts, raised his head to look at the curious eyes of the crowd, laughed twice, and said, "That is, I don't know if you are lucky or unlucky. ”

"These four gods are obviously more concerned about their respective believers, so I don't know why, but it is not easy to build their own sea worlds to preserve the lives above after the world is broken."

"This is an obviously thankless task, and to do this shows that these 4 gods were born from mortals, and they were not born like this."

"Natural gods always have all kinds of strange quirks and strange personalities, the most typical of which are indifferent mortals, without exception...... Well, it seems that there are exceptions.

But most of them are like this, understandable. ”

Everyone nodded, and Arka could understand a little.

To put it simply, how can a person who is born strong care about those weak lives?

Do humans care if ants live or die?

"Okay, it was a great time to talk to you, I'll remember your names.

The next time I come back to your world, continue to communicate, if you are still alive.

Of course, I would be happier to meet you in the astral plane. ”

The last sentence was Hammer's own muttering, but everyone could hear it.

Copper Hammer was about to leave, originally came to say goodbye to the triangle, after all, he had been here for a long time.

The exchange with Arka was just a bonus.

The crowd nodded, not asking too much.

This kind of private matter is too rude.

They've only known each other for a very short time.

It's just that this dwarf seems to have a good personality, willing to share, and free and easy by nature.

Without this essence, it is obvious that it is impossible to travel through all worlds.

Brass Hammer and the others waved, and it was already night outside.

He looked at the starry sky in the sky, and a star began to shine, as if it was very close to them.

A thin white thread fell from the sky and connected to the body of the brass hammer.

Copper Hammer turned his head to look at Arka and said, "You have a very peculiar aura in you, which I have felt in many people in the world.

Some of them have already reached the top, and you will definitely achieve great things in the future. ”

Without much explanation, the white thread wrapped around him, and then he disappeared in place.

As the hammer vanished, the crowd turned to look at Arka.

"The big man in the future, if he is developed in the future, he must help me." Jason teased by patting Alka on the shoulder.

Arka rolled his eyes and stared at him squintingly: "Don't worry, Jason, I won't let you be a beggar." ”

Everyone beat and said goodbye to the triangle.

Continuing the previous journey, he followed Shadetti around the island.

Along the way, they were still chatting about the information they had received from the dwarves.

Although that knowledge and information helped them broaden their horizons, it was too far away, like stars in the sky, out of reach.

For them now, it can only be used as a talking point.

"Is this a Vastwa script?" Matresa asked, as she passed by a piece of rubble, and saw a text carving on it.

Hearing this, Lucilia immediately jumped off Alka's shoulder, and in a few jumps came to Matrice's side.

"Really, there's Vastwa's writing here." As he spoke, he looked at the words and deciphered them.

"A man of Vastwa who once had a great trial here, this name is somewhat familiar, and we should have seen his account in Vastwa.

Think about it...... It seems to be a certain high priest who reformed the system of the time and allowed the city-state to grow and grow. ”

Hearing this, Julia looked at the stele next to her and said, "It seems that he didn't bluff people, there have indeed been a lot of big people here." ”

If they want to know about the era before the God War, they still know a lot about Vastva in that era.

The high priest represents the pinnacle of power there.

A little episode did not affect the speed of everyone's progress.

They didn't spend much time and basically walked around the island, except for the ruins in the middle, there was not much to visit outside, only some of the island's vegetation.

"At night, the magic on the island seems to have fallen silent, and the concentration has not changed. But the elemental creatures formed by their magical powers, even when we passed over them, they didn't come out to attack us. ”

Julia said a little strangely, could it be that these elemental-like creatures would not be able to sleep.

No one could answer.

"Alright, the surface exploration is complete, you can go back." Xia Daiti said.

Jason turned his head and asked, "So where are we going back to the boat?" ”

"Forget it, it's troublesome, let's find a good place to camp."

The group returned to the ruins of the city in the center and found a building that looked fairly intact.

A temporary rest camp was erected.

It seems that they are not the only ones who think so, they also see other traces of people who have camped here in this place.

Simply set up a tent for sleeping.

Juan Lu took out his portable pot and began to make dinner.

Shadetti found a quiet corner, took out his tools, and began to draw a map.

Arka and the others sat around Juanlu's portable pot, watching him make dinner and chatting.

"The rest of the world, that's good." Looking at the fire, Matresa suddenly said.

She still can't forget the sights of other worlds that Hammer said during the day, which shocked their worldview.

They can't help but wonder what the outside world is like.

"How strong do you think the dwarves are? After all, being able to walk in so many worlds. Jason couldn't help but ask.

Julia shook her head: "I can't feel it, although he still has magic in his body, it is incompatible with this world, so he can't detect it at all." ”

But at least you can know that the strength must be very strong, otherwise you are not qualified to walk so many worlds and not die yet.

Listening to the conversation, Arka just stared blankly at the fire.

Other worlds.

What about the world you once had, can you go back?

The sudden appearance of the copper hammer made Alka's mind a little chaotic.

He was a little absent-minded.

Everyone could see it, but it didn't bother too much.

After eating, rest in their respective tents.

It wasn't until it seemed to be about to dawn that Arka returned from his dream world.

Looking at the hourglass in his hand, there were only two hours left until daylight.

When he came outside, Shadetti had already woken up.

Arka came behind her and looked at Shadetti's position.

The mapping process is in the final stages.

Xia Daiti has been air-dried on the traces on it to coat it to protect it.

When everything was done, he took down the map and handed it to Alka.

"Here, done."

Arka looked at the map in his hand, which was getting more and more detailed.

"Your craft is getting better and better." I couldn't help but admire.

Blinked, looking at the map.

The light that pierced out in an instant made Arka's tears fall.

There is too much light.

If you look closely, all the light is concentrated on the spot where the tower in the center of the map is.

The accumulation of light points makes it impossible to see how many there are.

I could only see the gold mixed with a vigorous orange energy.

[Scepter]?

There is also a scepter on this island.

However, Arka watched as the golden and orange dots of light all converged on the central Tower of Trials.

I almost had a premonition in my heart.

Gently dot on it.

Gathered together, Alka didn't know that he was on the golden light, but apparently not on the orange pillar.

【Promotion Test】

[Difficulty: Enterprising Person (2~4 Stages)]

[Popularity: 34,000]

[Treasure Information: The Trial of the Gods constructed by the enterprising people of 10,000 years ago is designed to help mortal beings break through themselves. After the Divine War, only one remaining Tower of Trials remained.

The scope of the trial is 2~4 stages of intelligent life, climb upwards and break through yourself, you can get this hard-won reward.

If you want to get rewards, please go through regular channels, otherwise you won't be able to get rewards even if you pass. 】

Alka dotted on the other golden lights, all of which were exactly the same, all of them were the same treasure information.

It was the first time he had seen such a situation.

But doesn't the triangle say that there are no rewards after clearing the trial?

Arka was a little confused.

So why is it shown on the treasure again?

Looking at the last piece of treasure information, Arka suddenly had a bad premonition.

Through formal channels, looking at the degree of dilapidation, there may be no such thing as formal channels.

Wouldn't that be a no-brainer?

Hold back your thoughts, wait until tomorrow to ask about the triangle, and you'll know.

If you know more, you should be able to expand more information, and if the triangle really wants someone to go to the trial, then it will definitely not refuse.

Thinking of this, Alka dotted on the orange pillar of light in the very middle.

【Rise to the top】

[Difficulty: Clearer (4 Stages)]

[Popularity: 152]

[Treasure Information: Each Tower of Trials has its own apex, and clearing the apex will give you the final reward.

It's not an easy process, so be prepared for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. 】

Looking at the information of this treasure, Arka thought carefully.

The difficulty of the entire Tower of Trials is 2~4 stages.

But if you want to clear the level, then you must have the most extreme strength, even if you have the strength of the fourth stage, it is still difficult.

After clearing the level, you will be able to obtain a scepter-level treasure.

How can the golden treasure be obtained?

It was only then that Arka reacted.

When he just read those golden messages, he thought that he was also going to clear the Tower of Trials, but the Tower of Trials would make some adjustments according to each person's different strengths.

Now it seems that it is not what I thought.

But there's no more information to expand.

It wasn't long before dawn.

When the time comes, ask about the triangle.

Arka thought.

As it was dawn, everyone woke up one after another, cleaned up briefly, and finished breakfast.

Shadetti looked at Alka: "What is the goal of today's action?" ”

"Let's go to the trial."

Hearing this, the crowd turned to look at Arka, waiting for his answer.

"Based on the information I've got, there should be a reward for passing the trial.

But yesterday the triangle said no, so today we will ask what went wrong. ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

The tools and tents used for camping next to them, they didn't put them away, they just put them away.

There were no valuables stored here, and judging by their appearance, it seemed that they would not leave the island for a while.

All the way to the living room of the house where the triangle took them to rest yesterday.

However, he is not seen here.

"Where will the triangular stones be?"

"Maybe at the edge of the tower, maybe he's there."

As they spoke, they walked towards the stone tower in the center.

The tower was indeed tall, and it seemed to be at least 60 meters high, after all, it could be seen from far away from the sea.

In particular, the rubble floating around the Tower of Trials is all because of its own magical power, and it is attracted by the magic of the Floating Tower itself, and it is absorbed and floated around.

The whole tower, there are no aisles and windows at all, it is said to be a tower, and it looks more like a huge stone pillar.

It wasn't until everyone came to the bottom of the tower that they found out.

The entire tower is supposed to be erected on a huge platform, and there are some completely collapsed sculptures around the platform.

From the traces of the collapse, you can see how magnificent this place used to be.

"You're here? Do you want to come and have some trial? Suddenly the triangle appeared beside them.

Sure enough, he was here.

Arka looked at the towering stone tower in front of him and asked, "If there is no reward for the trial, then what was the reward for the trial before the war of the gods?" ”

The question seemed to indicate that they were also interested in the trial, and Triangle Iron replied very excitedly.

"Let's take this only remaining Tower of Trials as an example, this is the Tower of Trials that was built not long before the Divine War, so no one has been able to reach the top yet.

If someone succeeds in reaching the top, then they will be able to obtain a powerful artifact, one made by the gods themselves, made with the gods and rules.

And if he just performs well in the trial and breaks through himself, then he will get a powerful treasure with rules attached. ”

As if he was afraid that Arka didn't understand, he explained, "According to the current era, they are [Scepter] and [Holy Grail]. ”

"But now that I can't get such a reward, I don't have the authority to give you the qualifications for the official trial."

"So if you're eligible, you're getting a real reward, right?" Alka asked.
