Along the way, the staircase leading to the temple has a total of 36,000 steps.

It symbolizes the supreme prosperity and was once worshiped by countless believers with incense.

In front of the temple's main hall, Xiu Yi could even see the traces of swords and axes here.

The brown veins told him that there had been a bloody massacre here.

The main hall is very spacious, surrounded by forty-two crystal pillars with different shapes, all of which are made of magic crystals, and the size of the handwriting is jaw-dropping.

The ornate walls nearby are covered with colorful totemic carvings, many of which have been rejected, but they still exist under the influence of magic, telling the story of the past life of future generations.

In total, there are thirty-six frescoes.

When Huey came to the first mural, he saw a depiction of a group of humans toiling in the fields, but they were living in poverty and without food and clothing.

In the second painting, a mage is chanted, and the sky is raining and plants are growing on the ground.

The third depicts the beauty of a bountiful harvest, countless people using magic to solve various problems, and the world is thriving.

Each painting is also engraved with text underneath.

These words were very different from the ones that Xiu Yi had once known, but they were somewhat similar to the magic scripts that were required to be recited in order to use magic. Xiu Yi struggled to make out some of the words, some of which he could recognize, others that he couldn't, and could only guess the meaning based on the picture and the few recognizable fonts.

"Father, what do these paintings represent?" Asahi asked curiously.

"History, about the history of the rise of Western University 6. Huey replied, pointing to the first painting: "About 3,000 years ago, the human race of the Western University 6 was still living in difficult years. ”

Then he came to the second painting: "At that time, a great figure appeared, and his name was ...... Eastbrook, it seems, reads so. He manifested the power of magic and used it for the benefit of mankind. He used magic to ask for rain, so that plants could grow, so that the people could live a good life with a good harvest. ”

Xiu Yi looked at them one by one, telling the story of the past life here as he looked.

"People's lives have improved as a result, and they worship and admire the power of magic. Conquer the wilderness, irrigate the land, subdue the monsters, build homes, and build a glorious magical civilization......"

"It is believed that magic is a gift from the gods, and that everyone who can use it is a favorite of the gods. So they gathered the power of the whole Big 6 on this big 6, the place with the most powerful magic power - the holy mountain of Michael, and built a glorious temple to worship the gods, where all the senior magicians of the whole big 6 were concentrated. They studied magic here and led the lives of humans. ”

"In the pursuit of magical powers, people are not a single being in the world. So the temple began to try to open a way to other worlds. In a great magical experiment, they concentrated the power of a large number of magicians to try to carve out a spatial passage, and they finally succeeded. This made them very happy, and in order to explore the unknown world, they sent a large team of magicians to that world. ”

"On the other hand, the Western University 6 itself is also undergoing great changes. In the beginning, people only used magic to improve their lives, but with the advent of the magical class, there was a hierarchy of human beings, and nobles and commoners appeared. Those who can use magic are born nobles and can enslave others, while those who cannot use magic are born commoners and can only be enslaved. As a result, oppression arose, and the world began to change. More and more civilian rebellions are gradually appearing throughout the Big 6. ”

"Edric, the leader of a human rebel army, is the first to be vindictive. Through countless battles, he gradually mastered the cultivation and use of Douqi, and used this powerful power to fight against magicians. He taught his troops the cultivation method of Dou Qi, making them a powerful armed force that dealt a heavy blow to the mage on the battlefield. ”

"The invincibility of Edric and his army on the battlefield caused panic among the aristocracy. In order to salvage the defeat, they used negotiations as bait and invited Edric to a banquet. Edric arrived with a small number of troops, only to be attacked by a large number of mages on the way, and Edric died heroically. But the rebellion didn't stop there, and Bamford, the leader of the new human rebels, continued to lead everyone in a confrontation with the magicians for free and equal power. He understood alchemy so that magic was no longer the preserve of magicians. ”

"The rebels finally won the final victory. Eric's son, Emmanuel, killed Bamford and became the new Big 6 leader. Emmanuel personally led his troops to the foot of the Holy Mountain. Here, with the force of force in his hands, he forced the temple to recognize his dominance. Ten years later, Bamford's son Alex killed Emmanuel and fled to the other Big 6 with his loyal troops, where he established his own country. ”

"After Emmanuel's death, the temples regained their dominance. In order to ensure that the Big 6 was no longer in turmoil, the temple re-established the rules so that the common people were no longer trapped in heavy slavery, and the Big 6 was able to recuperate and prosper again. The magical civilization of Xida 6 is at its peak at this moment. ”

"What people didn't expect was that at that time, the team that had gone to explore other worlds suddenly returned. There were more than 300 of them when they went, but when they came back there were only four. But they are no longer the same people they used to be. These four magicians became extremely powerful, but at the same time they became fierce and brutal. They slaughtered at the temple and were eventually defeated by all the magicians, but their sheer power terrified everyone. One of the magicians suddenly regained consciousness after his death. He told everyone that it was a hellish world, full of chaos, violence, and blood. There, no sunlight can be seen, no warmth can be seen, and killing is the eternal theme. ”

After that, in order not to panic Big 6, the temple blocked the news, and only ordered that no one should be allowed to explore that unknown world from now on. At the same time, they began to try to establish a guardian system, because the dead mage told the temple that the world ...... The existence of human society is already known. Someday, they will open the spatial passage and come here. He called it ...... Demon Realm. ”

"The guardian system is an attempt by human beings to protect themselves. They seek out powerful humans and give them magical powers and powerful bodies that give them unparalleled power. Of all the Guardians, Basgate is the most powerful. He was the first to become a sanctuary, manifesting the power of the realm. His strong body and occult magic made his life long and long, and for hundreds of years, he became the temple's most important guardian force, always charging at the forefront whenever a rebellion arose. He became the embodiment of justice, a powerful representative, admired and worshipped by countless people. Over time, however, Basgate began to get tired of it all. ”

"He's seen too much human intrigue, cunning, and insatiable greed, and he's beginning to wonder what the meaning of guarding is, and doubt the mission of his existence. He began to explore the meaning of life and longed to find answers from different perspectives. So one day, he made a decision. He's going to explore that terrifying unknown world and see if he can find what he's looking for there. ”

"Basgate finally opened the door to another world and went to another world to find the meaning of life. Guardian Basgate has since disappeared from the human world......"

Huey's voice stopped there.

Because Asahi suddenly shouted, "Father, do you mean that the guy with blue skin is called Basgate?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

Asahi's face became extremely ugly: "I've heard of this name, from my mother. ”

"Who is he?"

Xu stared at the mighty and majestic man on the mural, and he looked at it for a long time before he muttered, "Lord of the Abyss, the founder of the Death Legion, Basgate...... Oh my God, he's a human. ”

"What did you say?" Huey was stunned.

I said...... The abyss is the Demon Realm, Father. Asahi replied slowly, "They are the same world. My mother, Rita, was once one of the seven generals of the Death Legion. ”

——

The news that Asahi brought was so shocking that it took Xiui half a day to digest it.

Whether it's the abyss or the demon world, it's actually just what humans call another world. Speaking of the name Abyss, the name is more in line with the true form of that world, where there are areas of burning fire, resources are poor, life is extremely difficult to survive, and in order to survive, killing and looting have become a daily form, and those who cannot adapt can only be eliminated by nature.

The Demon Realm, on the other hand, is the subjective judgment of human beings, because they despise the existence of this life form, believing that they are barbaric and uncivilized creatures, and are not as noble as humans. However, it is undeniable that the Abyssal Monsters are far more powerful than most beings in the human world. They grow in slaughter, they become strong in death, and each one is a natural warrior trained by blood and fire.

And in the abyss, the most famous is the Death Legion, a terrifying army that has swept and unified almost the entire abyss. Basgate is the first master of the Legion of Death. But more than a thousand years ago, he suddenly and mysteriously disappeared, and with him disappeared a powerful army of the Legion of Death.

Shortly thereafter, his successors, Aldous and Egmont, became the new leaders of the Legion of the Dead, the new Lord of the Abyss. However, both Aldous and Egmont were extremely jealous of Basgate. Because this guy is so powerful, his strength has reached a height that the latecomers can't reach at all. They feared that one day Basgate would suddenly return, so the two Lords of the Abyss had never dared to call themselves the deputy commanders of the Death Legion.

For thousands of years, the Death Legion had only a deputy commander, not a full commander.

Rita, the dragon, was a later member of the Legion of Death. She had never seen Basgate himself, except that he had two horns, a hideous face, a red complexion, a tall stature, and a flaming body surrounded by fire, possessing near-invincible strength.

I believe that if she was here, she would be shocked to hear that the terrifying Lord of the Abyss, Basgate, was originally a human.

Xiui's eyes swept the mural behind him slightly, and after hearing Asahi's words, he already understood what happened later.

He went straight to the back frescoes: "It seems that Basgate has not mysteriously disappeared. He went to the abyss and gradually degenerated, and he thought that he had found the meaning of life, which was death and killing. He believes that the law of the jungle is the fundamental law of the existence of life, and it is the law of natural selection. The abyss follows this law, and humans violate it. Therefore, human beings should not be creatures that exist in the world. He led his Death Legion back from the Demon Realm and returned to Xida 6, bringing a devastating disaster. ”

In front of this mural, as Asahi had previously described, a strong man with two horns on his head and flames around him was standing on a group of corpses and roaring wildly. Around him, there were countless soldiers of the Legion of Death. These beings have never been seen before, except for one of them, the Demon Spirit.

In terms of rank, they are the lowest-level cannon fodder soldiers, but in the human world, they have become the secret weapon of the Reims Empire.

"And what happened later? ”

"Later?" Xiu Yi smiled, and he moved to the next painting, "The temple already has a very strong power at this time. They know many levels of spells, and they even know ...... Sword of Splendour?"

Xiu Yi was completely stunned.

According to the story on the mural, the study of magic and alchemy at that time had reached a considerable level. They even created four artifacts of order, such as the Sword of Glory and the Cup of Life. However, Basgate, the Lord of the Abyss, also has an excellent talent for alchemy. Long before the invasion, he used the power of the abyss to create the Dark Blade that dealt with the Sword of Glory, the Soul Eater Ring against the Cup of Life, the Book of Darkness against the Holy Book, and the Doomsday Dragon Lance against the Scepter of Light.

In terms of power, the four magic weapons have a complete suppressive effect because they are created for the four artifacts.

From this point of view, whether it is the temple or the demon world, the attainments in alchemy have actually reached the peak of perfection.

The war was thus stalemate, and Huey continued to read.

"With the invasion of the Demon Realm, the temple led the people of the Great 6 to fight a huge war with Basgate, and the four artifacts failed to bring victory to the temple, because Basgate's power has grown greatly in the abyss, and it is countless times stronger than before he entered the abyss. His dark spells brought terrible deaths to the people, leaving the land barren and no vegetation to grow. Everywhere his army went, there was only death and flame. Basgate decided to attack the temple himself, and the temple was about to fall. In order to destroy this terrible demon, the temple decided to fight on its back. They gathered all the magicians and artifacts to come to the temple, and with the help of the alchemist's refining level-level magic array, they moved a forbidden spell, and the powerful power covered the entire Big 6, cleansing all life, no matter human beings or any other existence, even the powerful Basgate could not escape. This force is too strong, so that even Xida 6 itself can't withstand such a force, and the final result is that Xida 66 sinks to the bottom of the sea. In order to preserve this piece of Big 6 and preserve their history, in the end, the temple mages used the Eternal Enchantment to protect the most central part of Big 6, and the rest of the parts had to be left to die. The only ones that were not destroyed by this power were the eight weapons of gods and demons, but they were scattered everywhere and disappeared without a trace. Since then, the people of the Western University 6 have died together with the Legion of Death. Because the war was born so quickly and ended so suddenly, that the other people of the Big 6 didn't even know about it. ”

"The West University 6 disappeared and never existed. ”

"It's funny that humans created Guardians to protect themselves, only to destroy themselves in the end. Asahi muttered.

"Lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot, that's what makes a human being, Asahi . ”

"In that case, what's going on with that teleportation circle in the Land of Divine Grace?"

Huey came to the last picture.

"After the sinking of Western University in 66, not everyone died immediately. Grand Elder Cliffwell of the Temple survived the catastrophe. He recorded all his stories here, on these murals, but the time left of his life was running out. He didn't have time to bring everything born here to the people outside, so he left a teleportation circle outside, hoping that someone would enter this world in the future, see everything born here, and be vigilant and prepared enough for the future demon world. ”

"In order to resist the demon world, he left all the spell records of the temple here, including the method of Dou Qi cultivation, all kinds of magic, alchemy knowledge, ......"

Xiui and Asahi looked at each other for a moment, and their eyes burst with great joy at the same time.

After watching the mural story for half a day, only this news is the most exciting.

Xu jumped up: "Wow, this is amazing, the most glorious Xida 6 civilization, the most top temple inheritance, father!"

The little one jumped into Huey's arms at once.

Huey looked at the record carefully, and then he pointed to the three large doors behind the main hall.

"Behind these three doors, there are separate inheritances on Douqi cultivation, magic, and alchemy, and as long as you pass the test, you can obtain them. But Cripwell, in view of the lessons of Basgate, did not dare to leave everything to one person again. All he made the rule that one could only enter the back of one door and get a kind of inheritance. He didn't know how many people would enter in the future, but only three people could get the knowledge left behind by the temple. Each door has a seal on it, and when you enter one of them, the seal automatically records the person's physical characteristics. The person being recorded is not allowed to enter the other gates, otherwise the Eternal Barrier will be touched, and the consequence will be that the supporting canopy will collapse, and the Big 6 will be completely destroyed. ”

"Isn't it possible to set up a teleportation circle, and then forcibly enter the three gates, take all the inheritances, and then teleport away directly? ”

"No way. The transmission of the temple is not a form of book-based record. It is stored directly by Cripwell in the form of magical energy, which can avoid the erosion of time. When the enterer enters the gate, the first thing they face is the test of the temple. Those who fail the test will not only fail to receive the inheritance, but will also be punished. Only those who pass through can take away the knowledge behind that door. The only way to take this knowledge is to instill it directly into your body after it has been approved by the temple. Other than that, there's no trick. ”

"How can this be......" Asahi muttered, "Then father, what do you choose?"

"Alchemy, of course. Huey replied, pointing his finger to the door in the middle.

Then his movements froze.

Because at that moment, he clearly realized that there was not the slightest magical energy on the alchemy gate.
