Chapter 35: "The New Life"

Through the "Voyeur Eye", Bernadette saw that the interior of the Crimson Shrine was empty, with nothing but the shadow curtain that usually shrouded reality.

Unable to predict anything, she had to withdraw her gaze and follow her instincts to let the Invisible Servant go to the other side of the open area, which also belonged to the primeval forest with huge trees.

At the same time, because the "invisible servant" could not get too far away from her, she quietly followed behind wearing the "invisibility hat", and slowly passed through the area where all the creatures of the entire island had gathered before.

Here, the sky always seems a little gloomy, with a faint shade of black.

Time flew by, and the "invisible servant" entered the forest where the branches of the trees obscured the sky, and his eyes suddenly dimmed.

Immediately afterward, the almost transparent, indifferent, and imperceptible "peeping eyes" saw through the dim environment, noticing that there were one pale corpse after another among the trees, and many branches were also drooping skulls, rotting corpses, and other things.

Some of them belonged to dragons, some came from bird-like creatures, some had eight legs, and some were strange giant trees themselves, completely filling the void of this forest.

At a glance, Bernadette seemed to have arrived at a cemetery, and a scene naturally came to her mind:

The transcendent beings gave birth to offspring before they died, passed on their extraordinary traits to them, and struggled to reach this area of the primeval forest from all directions, looking for an unoccupied place, facing a certain direction, and died quietly, gradually decaying and turning into bones.

As a Master of Prophecy, Bernadette was fully convinced that the images in her mind were what had really happened, but wondered what had the power to make the creatures of this primeval island choose this place as their graveyard.

Moreover, Green, William, Polley and the others, who have long since died, seem to be still alive in some state, staying on this island all the time, and there is no reason why the transcendent and mutated creatures who have suffered more pollution should die completely.

This made Bernadette frown slightly, and drove the "invisible servant" to move on, into the depths of the "biological graveyard".

In this way, the "invisible servant" walked through this forest of bones and rotting corpses for nearly a quarter of an hour.

Finally, it saw a fourth thing beyond trees, weeds, and corpses.

It was a black stone pillar, five or six people hugging each other, thirty or forty meters high, and there were ring-shaped signs of weathering on the surface, like wearing one ring after another unsuitable ring.

Bernadette let the "peeping eye" look at the pillar for several seconds, but did not notice any mystery in it, as if it were just a symbol erected casually.

The "Invisible Servant" looked around and saw that the corpses in the area around the pillar were not badly decomposed, and were covered in fairly intact flesh and skin.

Extraordinary power that does not exist, unlike the strange effects of other places...... Unless the new dead are all passively clustered around the stone pillars, there can be no such unifying trend...... Bernadette initially suspects that this place is not without mystery, but that it must be revealed at a certain moment.

She did not use her "prophecy" ability to find the cause, because the essence of "prophecy" is to peek into the river of fate, the more serious the problem involved, the higher the personality and level, the greater the damage to her, and the current incomprehensible situation cannot be explained by Bernadette's impatience, afraid that it will be associated with an unknown, terrifying existence.

Besides, it wasn't a danger to her yet, and she didn't have to take the risk of "prophecy".

The Invisible Servants searched for a while without finding any clues, and then continued onwards, trying to make their way through the graveyard to another part of the primeval forest.

Just then, Bernadette heard a rustling sound.

It was the movement of the breeze through the foliage, the tide rising in the void.

For the first time since landing on this strange island, Bernadette felt the wind.

Subconsciously, she asked the "invisible servant" to turn her head and look at the black stone pillar.

In the "Voyeur Eye", the rotten parts of the corpses around the stone pillar fell one by one, and new flesh and blood grew out as if they were spiritual, and the skin gradually covered the terrifying picture inch by inch.

The change lasted less than ten seconds before it stopped, and a small number of the corpses no longer showed any signs of decomposing and looked like they had just died.

In the next second, a mutated curly-haired baboon and an eight-legged demon wolf staggered to their feet.

Their fur is slightly whitish, their skin is slightly shriveled, and their eyes are blank and cold.

Then, the two dead creatures left the cemetery from different places.

Bernadette's eyes froze and her eyebrows furrowed, and she finally understood why the creatures of this island struggled to come to this area before they died, and why they had to die here:

Here, the end of death is not connected to eternal sleep, but to a new beginning!

Moreover, this is not the kind of "resurrection" that the "necromantic master" evokes living corpses and skeletons, but a "new life" with a certain will and vitality.

The underlying rules of the world are distorted and chaotic here, and there seems to be a bit of mystery about the resurrection of the "Black Emperor...... However, the state of the deceased who have been reborn is not too right, and is closer to the living corpse...... There is a big problem with this kind of resurrection...... Crane, who was above the gray mist, also saw this scene and had many guesses in his heart.

Of course, this is all based on the premise that the Emperor did leave the last mausoleum here and exert some kind of influence.

In the blink of an eye, Klein initially dismissed the idea.

Because, before the Emperor became an angel, there was a similar situation on this primordial island, and the long-dead Grimm is proof of this!

Well, the details at that time may not be what they are now, perhaps, compared to the beginning, there has been distortion and confusion...... Klein nodded slightly, ready to bless Bernadette.

Bernadette also made a certain guess, not letting the "invisible servant" stay where he was, waiting for the next "new tide".

This is because she prophesied a development:

After the "invisible servant" was affected by the "new tide" many times, he strangely developed a certain will and "lived"!

In addition, the "invisible thralls" had not been explored before, but they had never been able to discover the peculiarities of the black stone pillar, and Bernadette did not think that there would be any additional gains from its continued stay.

In this case, it is better to build a holistic understanding of the primordial island than to delve into the depths that might alarm an unknown being.

In many cases, the answer to a question that could not be figured out in the previous link may be in the later area.

This is the experience that Bernadette has accumulated over the years.

The corpses between the giant trees and on the branches gradually became scarce as the "invisible servants" advanced, and in the process, Bernadette discovered another phenomenon:

In the "Tide of Rebirth", there are not always corpses that will be resurrected, but once there is a resurrection, leaving a blank area, and in the next five minutes, the rest of the corpses will move to the central area like metal attracted by a magnet, and fill the corresponding positions in turn, as if waiting in line for a gift.

No, no, the dead here have already inherited their own characteristics...... As Bernadette's thoughts diverged, a question suddenly came to mind:

It is impossible for the dead to regain their extraordinary traits, so do they still have the abilities they had in life?

Once you have a more complete grasp of the situation on this island, you can find a "resurrectee" to test it...... Bernadette made a quick decision and walked along the path explored by the "invisible servant".

She didn't use any extraordinary abilities other than the "Invisibility Hat", so she didn't disturb the environment and didn't miss details, so she didn't walk very fast, and it took almost a quarter of an hour to leave the cemetery.

By this time, the "invisible servant" had already burrowed into the forest ahead, heard the occasional birdsong and beast roar, and felt the vigorous vitality that was different from the rest of the area.

Crane above the gray fog sighed secretly:

"Fortunately, I am now the master of the 'Source Castle', and there is the personality of the King of Angels here, and I can gaze at reality for as long as I want, without worrying too much about spiritual exhaustion, well, the only thing that needs to be paid attention to is the body hidden in the pre-First Age old city in the fog of history. ”

After a few more minutes of walking, the Invisible Servant suddenly saw something that didn't quite fit the primeval island's environment.

It was a wooden house, like the wooden house of the forest keepers.

The overall brownish-green color of this wooden house, with a height of no more than two meters and a half, seems to be intended for humans, but every detail reveals roughness and rudiment.

At this moment, the door of the hut was open, allowing Bernadette to see part of it through the "Voyeur Eye":

A wood-colored table, a fur-covered bed, and a round chair with a low backrest make for a picture of human habitation.

Who lives here?—Bernardette's mind moved, and the "Invisible Servant" quickly approached the wooden house, looking for clues to what might exist.

It then noticed that the cabin was cold, and that nothing existed except for the furniture, and it seemed that it had been uninhabited for a long time.

Just as Bernadette was scrutinizing every detail of the cabin with the help of her "voyeuristic eye", she suddenly had a premonition in her heart, and hurriedly turned the "invisible servant" around.

I don't know when, there is one more person behind the "invisible servant"!

He was dressed in the luxurious clothes of the Russell period, his hair was all white, his face was old, and he had a pair of light blue eyes that were extremely cold and indifferent.

Edwards.

This is the ancestor of the knight who lived for a while after the fall of the Emperor, the "Iceberg Lieutenant General" Edwina.

Edwards stared at the "invisible servant" for a few seconds, then suddenly opened his mouth and said in a low voice:

"Your Highness the Princess. ”
