Chapter 42: Silence on the other side
"Western Continent?"
After hearing this term, Crane asked the high-dimensional overlooking person in front of him with some confusion. The tone of the high-dimensional overlooking man paused for two seconds, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he said to Klein in front of him with some subtlety:
"To the east of the God's Forsaken Land, the rumored end of the world, is also the land sealed by Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun."
ā or rather, Asia. The high-dimensional overlooker didn't say this, and Crane had now vaguely guessed some truth about the world and the secrets he had traveled through.
However, both the trajectory of the stars in the sky and the plates of this world are very different from the earth in his impression. It is precisely for this reason that Klein thinks that he is just going to another planet, not staying on Earth.
Although it seems to him that a long time may have passed, his family has also run out of life and died with the passage of time. However, the "ancient scholars" can pull out the historical projection, and the "miracle master" has the power to resurrect themselves, so continuing to promote may not be able to resurrect those people he knows on the earth with the help of the spirit world.
This is also one of the motivations for Klein's current promotion, he wants to become the Lord of Mystery, not only because he wants to save the world, but also because he wants to have the authority of the "King of Time and Space" of the Lord of Mystery, and recover from the spirit world what he has probably "lost" now.
After becoming a demigod, Crane thought about this issue specifically. He knew very well that even if the speed of time was not the same, at least 10,000 years would have passed since the time of the true Creator.
Is 10,000 years a long time? For humanity, this is an unbridgeable chasm; But for the outer gods, it was only a moment in their short lives.
After hearing the word Western Continent, Klein's pupils contracted slightly:
"Is it the land where Tianzun sealed the Outer God Essence?"
"That's right." The high-dimensional overlooking man hooked his lips, and relied on Klein to say forbidden knowledge above the gray mist without scruples:
"That's it."
"Although you can't pass through the barrier set up by Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun, the 'Source Castle' aura on your body may be able to get you close to there and attract some of the 'weak' spirit creatures that drift out of it."
"Unlike the spirit creatures here, they are polluted and endowed with essentia, and they often have many strange abilities. At the very least, this will be a little better than the abilities of demigod-level spirit creatures you can find. ā
Klein nodded thoughtfully:
"I see."
ā¦ā¦
After the high-dimensional lookdown left, Crane used ritual magic to get his spirit out of his body.
After taking out the "Black Emperor" card and integrating the "Black Emperor" card into his spirit body, a Taoist priest wearing a black and gold robe, half glasses and half a white mask appeared in the gray mist.
His body blended with the gray mist, and his black and gold robe looked a little weird, as if it was hidden in the dust and smoke.
One tentacle after another with sticky slime unfurled behind Crane, a half-illusory texture dragging behind him with a gray mist.
Crane held the spiritual coordinates of the Godforsaken Land that the high-dimensional overlook had just given him, and controlled his spirit body to fly into the distance.
Along the way, the strange spirit creatures who saw him were hiding in the distance, while the weaker ones were running away in frenzy.
A faint gray mist dispersed behind Crane as he advanced, and one after another of the Dogs of Fugen followed Crane, clearing the traces of the spirit realm, as if to protect him as he traveled forward.
A golden figure who was trying to spy on the spirit world with his own strength saw such a figure passing far away from the sky, and immediately withdrew all his strength, and secretly cursed in his heart.
The speed of the spiritual realm was very fast, and Crane quickly traveled to the junction of the Godforsaken Land and the Western Continent according to the coordinates given to him by the high-dimensional overlookers.
Thanks to the bear-proof wall erected here by the True Creator, the spiritual area at the junction of the Eastern and Western Continents, with the exception of a small section of Moon City, is quite safe, and the air does not contain any of the ingredients of Amun.
The farther Klein went, the more resistance he encountered as he traveled with the help of the spirits, and he could even see a faint grayish-white mist in the air.
After seeing these mists, Klein immediately understood why the seal of the Lord of Mysteries was able to block so many true gods and outer gods, making it impossible for them to touch the essentia in the Western Continent, and even the "Fallen Mother Goddess" could not break through.
The seal of the Lord of Mysteries not only exists in the real world, but also in the spirit world. Klein guessed that it was not only that, but it was estimated that even the corresponding astral region was also sealed by the Lord of Mystery with the "Source Castle".
What a terrifying power...... Crane sighed and began to sense the spirit creatures around him, but after a moment Crane furrowed his eyebrows.
The number of spirit creatures here is already quite rare, and most of them are relatively weak and do not even have a simple will. Crane tried to keep moving until he could barely move, as if his body was completely trapped in the space.
Crane stopped there, unable to move forward. The dogs of Fugen behind him were now all gone, and with only a faint aura of "Source Castle" on their bodies, they couldn't follow Crane to such a deep place.
Call...... Crane patiently searched forward, some of the extraordinary creatures here were obviously polluted with a high personality, and even Crane felt the sting of his spirit body in the current situation of being sheltered by the "Source Fortress".
"Spirits who roam in the gray mist, friendly beings with spatial abilities, spirit beings who are willing to trade with me."
Crane took out the extraordinary materials that had been wrapped in the spirit body and performed a ritual in the spirit world to recruit spirit creatures willing to borrow extraordinary abilities.
He felt that there were many spirit creatures trying to enter here beyond the gray mist, but they were blocked by the gray mist, and some of them even felt that there was a unique existence with a rather powerful aura, but they could not reach here without the favor of the "Source Castle".
It only took a moment for a hand to reach in Crane's direction. As he approached Klein, the hand gradually enlarged, and there were traces of worm marks on it, and the writhing worms combined seemed to form a shining golden light.
As this hand approached, Klein felt an extremely terrifying sense of oppression, and he made a simple judgment and found that this hand originally seemed to belong to an existence that was close to a real mythical creature, or even a real mythical creature itself!
Even though there was only one huge palm left, it could still hold Crane, gently letting Crane stand on the golden palm.
Behind this hand seemed to be connected to the silk threads, and these silk threads shimmered with dazzling starlight, and Crane was a little dizzy to watch.
"What kind of abilities do you have? What price does it take? ā
Crane vibrated with the gray mist that made up his body, sending his will to the golden palm. A moment later, a language that sounded extremely strange, but unusually familiar to Crane came out of the palm of his hand. (Note 1)
The tone conveyed from the palm of this hand was gentle, but there was a vague restraint of madness that made Klein tremble:
"I can give you the ability to 'roam'."
"āI hope, freedom."
I want to be free...... What does this make me do? I really thought I was Tianzun, didn't I......
Wait, it's obviously much stronger than me, but it still talks to me in this requesting tone. Does it really think that I am the Celestial Venerable who sealed it here?
And with the ability to "roam", this can't be a sequence three "rover", right? Extraordinaries of the "Gate" pathway, or spirit creatures?
The thought in Klein's mind formed in an instant, and he shook his head slightly:
"I can't break the seal just yet."
But just a moment after Klein said this, the golden palm seemed to be excited, and quickly made a sound, and several messages came. Klein understood a little, and understood the language, which sounded like Chinese.
This golden giant hand means that Klein can not be paid now, as long as one day in the future when the seal of the Western Continent is unlocked, it can be released first, and let it return to its "self".
After a short period of thought, Crane finally signed a contract with the Golden Giant.
Compared with ordinary spiritual world shuttles, the ability to "roam" is obviously safer, after all, "roaming" is with the help of the astral plane, not only within the barrier of this planet, but also "roaming" outside the planet.
However, Klein obviously wouldn't do that without protection now, and "roaming" the stars in Sequence 4 was obviously sending himself to the outer gods at his disposal.
If he wants to "roam" the starry sky, Crane must at least wait until Sequence 2 has the power of the "Source Castle" by his side, and at the same time has the support of the Fallen Mother Goddess and the high-dimensional overlooker, before he can explore and locate the location of the earth in the starry sky.
Compared to other abilities that teleport in the spirit world, the ability of the "door" path is obviously more convenient, and when Klein shuttles through his spirit body in the spirit world just now, he feels too restrictive. Not only must you arrange the ritual in advance, but you must also find a good position in the spiritual world, otherwise it is easy to get lost in the spiritual world and even find your own real body.
And after the contract was completed, Klein looked at the golden giant hand that seemed to be still a little nostalgic, and he tried to ask:
"Can you help me find a weaker nearby spirit with the ability to briefly control the enemy?"
Considering the strength of this huge palm, Klein really didn't dare to recruit other high-order angels. In case he encountered a spirit creature with malicious intentions towards the "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun", then Klein could only quickly escape.
After only thinking for a moment, the golden giant hand slowly disappeared in place, appearing not far in front of Crane.
The golden giant hand's original posture of the back of the hand turned upwards into a palm facing up, the index finger and thumb of the palm were pinched together, the little finger was slightly upturned, and the star insects engraved on the little finger gradually peeled away, forming a gate made of gray mist.
With the intense starlight flickering, a shadow covered in pitch-black scale armor like fish scales appeared here. He struggled desperately, with chains of starlight on his body.
On his body, in addition to the pitch-black scale armor, there was a cloak that reached the ankle vertically, and on top of this armor there were shadows that seemed to be miniaturized, and on the cloak was a twisted character written on it.
Because the character was so sloppy, Crane couldn't recognize the specific meaning of the character, but the moment he saw the armor ghost, he felt a strong sense of immediacy on the ghost's body.
What is this? Crane was momentarily confused.
However, the moment he saw Crane, the armored shadow stopped struggling, and turned to look up at Crane in front of him, and said with half fear and half respect:
"Tianzun - Heavenly Dao? IāI saw the Fusheng Heavenly Dao? ā
"-Chen, Chen Di has seen the way of heaven."
Some Chinese with different pronunciations appeared in Crane's ears, and Crane understood the words of the spirit in front of him after a short mental translation.
What does it call me? Fushengtian?
West Continent, West Continent ...... Could it be that this is a part of the spirits who believe in the Heavenly Venerable? Surname Chen? Could it be that all the people in the Western Continent believe in Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun? So, are the people of the entire Western Continent His followers?
So why is His anchor more stable than any god on earth? As part of the beginning, did He need these anchors?
Or was it that all the lands except the Western Continent were supposed to belong to God? Except for the Western Continent, which is protected by the Heavenly Venerable, all living beings are God's anchors?
If it weren't for the betrayal feast at that time, the current North and South Continents and the East Continent should all be God's territory and God's sheepfold......
However, according to Chen Di's expression, it doesn't look like he has seen a god of faith......
Crane silently thought in his heart, he paused for a moment, and said to the spirit body in front of him:
"What do you bear? What is your name? ā
The Armor Shadow humbly bowed his head:
"The Heavenly Master is sealed, the person who suppresses ghosts, and his humble name is Chen Di."
"By the order of the Silent Heavens on the other side, he guarded the River Styx and never left the guard."
āā
Klein pondered for a moment:
"What kind of abilities do you have?"
Note 1: I feel that there is a bug in the squid, if the Chinese mastered by the armor shadow is the same as Chinese in pronunciation, or even the same as modern Chinese, then will the corresponding spiritual knowledge be formed in the spiritual world?
Or in the setting of the squid, the seal of the Lord of Mystery is so powerful that it can even ignore the authority of half of the gods and completely seal the spiritual information of the Western Continent.
enmm, whether you know anything or not, it's a little unclear.
