As soon as he crossed the steel gate, Li Meng felt his eyes light up!

He found himself in a huge room!

The room was empty, the walls were unadorned cut marble, only in the center, a ...... Throne!

That's right, the throne!

The throne looks large enough for two people to sit side by side.

The entire body of the throne is made of obsidian that does not reflect any light, and it is a whole piece of obsidian!

On the throne, there sat an old man with his head hanging down, unable to see clearly, with white hair and no words.

After Li Meng came in, the old man just raised his head and glanced at him faintly, then lowered his head and continued to resume silence.

"That...... Hello...... Where is this? Excuse me, are you ......?"

Li Meng walked in hesitantly, he tried to talk to the old man, but the response was silence.

So, Li Meng planned to go into the old man next, but the old man didn't hear what he just said.

However, on the way, his feet were stirred.

Limon nearly fell, and he hurriedly straightened up and looked at his feet—there, lying quietly, a roll of parchment......

This scene seems familiar?

Li Meng picked up the parchment roll and subconsciously opened it......

I saw that directly above the parchment, there was a line of words - "The Truth of the World".

The truth of the world?

With doubts in his heart, Li Meng continued to watch......

......

The human beings of this "world" are not much different from the creatures of other "worlds".

Before leaving the planet by various means, they believe that the planet is the "world".

After a heated discussion among a group of scholars, they gave a broad definition of "the world", which is the planet beneath our feet.

The name of the planet is "Anvita", which is named after the savior who led humanity to defeat the demons last time, which means earth.

Anvita is unique, so unique that every day there is a sphere "Apollo" that emits an orange glow that rises from the east on time, sets from the west, and repeats itself.

When "Apollo" appeared from the east, "Anvita" ushered in the white sun - the day was warm and bright, and humans liked to move in the daytime, and they believed that it was "Apollo" that brought them strength.

When Apollo sinks into the western sky, an equally unique, faintly shimmering sphere "Artemis" will emerge from the east, and she will follow in the footsteps of "Apollo" before disappearing into the western skyline as well.

Unlike "Apollo", "Artemis" brought everything to "Anvita" and "Anvita" in the opposition of day - night.

The night is often cold, and you can't see your fingers.

Human perception decreases, and they also begin to feel tired and have to fall into hibernation...... And so it is with all things.

The names "Apollo" and "Artemis" were accepted by the humans who inhabited Anvita a long, long time ago.

Long to ......

"Apollo" and "Artemis" are their original names in the eyes of the humans who inhabit this "world".

Of course, these names are not out of nowhere, they originate from antiquity, classical and romantic Greek mythology, when the "world" still had "gods".

In the present, the existence of those "gods" is still to be investigated.

After all, there is only one "God" in this "world" now, and He has many titles - Creator God, Creator......

His name is "Yahweh."

It is said that at His behest, His followers established the "Holy See" – an institution that administers and admits believers to "exhort people to do good."

These believers classify the gods of other gods, and those who believe in them, as heretics. Heresy is for judgment.

After a brutal purge and expansion, the power of the "Holy See" spread to every corner of the continent. Subsequently, the clergy took precedence over the royal power.

And the "clergy" whose hands were stained with copper-smelling blood also began to further refine the teachings that "He" had left to them.

"Apollo" and "Artemis" are the left and right eyes of "Yahweh," respectively. They symbolize that the "gods" spy on the words and deeds of mankind, and all those who turn their backs on the "gods" will be punished in the "Last Judgment"!

Only by dedicating their life's wealth and serving the church carefully can these devout believers enter "heaven."

Now it seems that the "Doomsday Judgment" is roughly the demon invasion that was indexed a hundred years ago, and those believers in the "Holy See" also think so...... But the "clergy" do not see it that way, and they continue to claim that the "final judgment" is yet to come, and that believers still have to "give" in order to qualify for "heaven".

However, after that war, humanity gradually recovered, and after witnessing the filthy behavior of the "Holy See" in the "Last Judgment", they gradually abandoned their faith in "Him".

The "Holy See" was powerless to change all this, and because of the cowardice of the "Pope" in the "Last Judgment", even those "devout believers" began to question the correctness of the "doctrine".

Therefore, in order to cater to the course of history, the "Holy See" gradually divided into three factions: the "Agni sect" which believed in the classical Bible, the "Jeinhard" sect, which established the "theocratic" state "Jeinhard", and the "Cairntos" sect, which tried to explain "Him" in terms of the mysteries of the "world" that people were constantly discovering.

True, with the continuous decline of the status of the Holy See, people gradually got rid of the shackles of thought.

They began to learn to understand the mysteries of this "world" and entered the "Second Age of Enlightenment".

Unlike the "First Age of Enlightenment" in antiquity, when the study of "magic" was studied, the "Second Age of Enlightenment" was no longer dominated by mages from above.

The protagonist of the "Second Age of Enlightenment" is every human being who lives on "Anvita".

When a child, driven by curiosity, brought two finely polished convex lenses in front of his eyes, people developed telescopes of different magnifications. After having had enough of the game of "zooming in on what is far away", some attentive and knowledge-hungry people turned their eyes to the vastness of the universe......

Some tried to observe "Apollo" directly, but most of them did not last long before they collapsed in pain with their eyes covered - they were all blind.

The "Egnes" openly declared that this was "God's" punishment for those who tried to offend "Him" and classified them as "infidels."

But before the "infidels" could be taken away for trial, others discovered that observing Artemis did not cause any damage to the eyes.

This was a fatal blow to the claims of the "Agnes" that "Artemis the right eye of God" existed to punish the world—"Artemis the right eye of God" did not take them for human offense, but "Apollo the left eye of God" did.

As a result, more and more mysteries of the "world" are being revealed.

It turns out that there are countless holes in Artemis, and the shells of the gods that symbolize "Him" are different spheres in shape like "Artemis". It turns out that "Anvita" is also a sphere, and everything stands on this sphere - explorers of the "Cairntos" sect set sail from the western part of the continent in alchemical airships, and after throwing aside their fear of the maritime myths told in the "teachings", they arrived on the eastern coast of the continent a month later......

After learning enough of these "mysteries", people are amazed to find that the world is so simple after abandoning the ancient "magic" and deeply rooted "teachings" to explain the existence of all things...... It's so complicated......

The worldview established by the Bible and "doctrine" collapsed.

Mechanics, Optics, Acoustics...... One by one, these disciplines were recognized and accepted, and alchemy, mathematics, magic and other disciplines gradually fell from the altar, either integrating into other disciplines, and then into the times, in order to embrace ordinary people, or, neatly, they were recognized as "supernatural doctrines".

This was the "Age of the Second Enlightenment" – an era in which many human beings pursued beautiful arts, discovered and advanced the natural sciences.

However, people will always be ...... because of beliefs, customs, and interests Engage in strife.

The "Second Age of Enlightenment" gradually slowed down due to the limitations of history, and mankind thought that it had mastered all the natural sciences.

The resentment and hatred that have accumulated since time immemorial, as well as the differences in reality, have led to the beginning of strife between people, and then to the conflict between nations.

In the end, "Anvita" once again ignited the flames of war!

This is "Anvita", this is "human"!

This is "civilization", this is "the world"!

There is nothing new in the universe.

Recorded by: White Wolf.

......

After reading the contents of the parchment in one go, Li Meng swallowed......

He felt that the name of the white wolf, he seemed to have seen it somewhere, but ...... He couldn't think of anything!

As for the things described in the parchment, he also knew nothing...... And when it came to the "Age of Enlightenment" later, his heart was full of doubts.

What about mechanics, optics, and acoustics? and...... It seems that magic, alchemy, or something has lost its original importance?

"You look confused......"

At this moment, the old man suddenly spoke, and he stood up with his body bent and walked down from the throne step by step......

The torches in the hands of the two knight statues outside were still shining, and this light naturally shone into the room, making the place look less gloomy.

On the way to the old man's movement, Li Meng suddenly became conscious for a while, and he seemed to see two scarlet lights flickering between the old man's hair, which covered half of his face......

Before Li Meng could react, the old man's speed suddenly accelerated, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Li Meng...... He stretched out his cracked hand and gently patted Bobby, who was still asleep lying on Li Meng's shoulder, and then looked at Li Meng.

"You, why don't you speak?"

"I ...... I ......"

"Are you scared?"

“......”

Li Meng stopped talking, the peculiar pride of boys made him unable to admit it in his mouth, he was scared......

The old man didn't care, he trembled, picked up the parchment in Li Meng's hand, looked at it with great effort in front of his eyes, and then let out a sneer.

"Huh...... I've been in this place, I've been looking for it for ten years, and I swear, in those ten years, I've searched every corner of this room...... But this roll of parchment just didn't appear!"

"This, this roll of parchment, is it precious?"

Li Meng plucked up his courage, looked at the old man who was gritting his teeth, and asked.

The old man gave Li Meng a deep look, his gray hair obscuring his countenance, preventing Li Meng from seeing his appearance. Then the old man sighed and returned the parchment to Lemon.

"Precious? It can be said to be precious...... However, it can also be said that it is useless at all...... Let's put it this way, to me, it's just a piece of waste paper that can be discarded at any time, but for you...... Very precious!"

"But if it doesn't matter to you, then why ...... you?"

"Why did you look for it for 10 years......? I can't answer that question, Limon Lee!"

When the old man said the end, he pronounced Li Meng's name in a deep tone, which made him feel extremely frightened! Because Li Meng had never seen this old man before, and how could he know his name?

"You, how do you know my name?"

"What's your name?" huh...... Not only do I know that your name is Limon but I also know that this doll cat on your shoulder is called Poppy...... There's even your father's name is Richard, and your two older brothers are Lewell and Richew......"

The old man said this with a sneer, and it could be seen that he was very satisfied with the fact that he could surprise Li Meng.

Finally, the old man looked at Li Meng in a daze, and finally, the old man sighed, and he gently put his hand on Li Meng's shoulder, and spoke to him in a gentle tone.

Li Meng...... Can you promise me one thing?"

"Promise you...... Why, why should I promise you?"

Li Meng took a few steps back alertly, but the old man quickly grabbed him by the shoulder, so that he could not retreat!

Poppy woke up, and she yelled at the old man in dissatisfaction, then jumped on his shoulder, wrapped her tail around the old man's neck, and continued to snore and fall asleep.

“...... Also, we ...... It's obviously the first time we've met, I can't let you promise me anything......" The old man seemed to come to his senses, he sighed, looked at Li Meng, and said seriously: "However, I hope ...... You can stand forever in ...... Where do you stand now...... You also see what's in the parchment...... Jah...... Not credible!"

After the old man finished speaking, his whole person became illusory...... And this room has become illusory......

Poppy seemed to sense something, and it stood up, gave the old man a nostalgic look, and then jumped back onto Limon's shoulder.

Immediately, Li Meng felt a feeling of dizziness coming, and his eyes slowly closed uncontrollably......
