Listening to the shocking secrets told by Claire, Avis was speechless for a moment.
The amount of information revealed in this passage was a bit too large, so large that even he needed to think over and over again about the secrets contained in every detail.
"If you want to ask why there is no record of that period of history, it was a decision jointly made by the remaining strong men after the war. Any information related to 'it' must be completely erased from this world.
remove.
Otherwise, it can come to individuals who understand its information at any time and resurrect in this world."
Looking at Anvis' thoughtful look, Claire continued to tell the secrets she knew.
"And in that battle, 'god' followed the final settings left by the crazy alchemist and protected all human beings' concepts of existence with the brilliance of his own divine power regardless of the cost, preventing them from being instantly assimilated by 'its' power.
With the end of the battle, the darkness faded away, and the 'god' finally fell into a deep sleep due to excessive consumption. It has not fully recovered to this day. That day is also the important festival of the Holy See today, the 'God's Breath Day'..."
"Wait a mininute."
Looking at the girl under the moonlight, Anvis suddenly caught a vague inspiration in his heart.
"According to your previous words, the rules of the 'today' world are missing, while the rules of the world in ancient times are complete..."
"In other words, there is actually another reason behind the lack of rules in the world today. In the history from ancient times to modern times, some kind of event occurred that caused the lack of rules in the world?
Then, such an event would inevitably have a huge impact on the entire world at that time. Even if a strong person erases all traces of information related to it, the world itself will leave indelible traces..."
As if he was asking the girl a question, and as if he was speaking to himself, the inspiration in Anvis's heart gradually began to become clearer.
"The wall of the zenith? The restricted area of life? The [Great Rip] event?"
Looking at Avis, who was staring at her intently, as if asking for confirmation from her, a gleam of surprise flashed across Claire's clear eyes like the sea of ice.
"Yes, it seems you have already guessed it.
As I said before, this world is a duel ground that enforces fairness through incomplete rules. And such a duel ground is naturally not formed naturally, but is caused by acquired influences."
"At the end of the Godfall Period in the ancient golden age, the three legendary races of dragons, titans and high elves, at the cost of nearly annihilation, destroyed those who descended with the Purple Moon, as well as the terrifying remains from the Dark Age and even the Cold Underworld Age to this day.
The dark beings have completely driven away from this world and are lost in the gap between reality and illusion.
And with an unprecedented underworld-level secret ritual, we blocked the coordinates for their return to this world, ushering in the beginning of the new generation and bringing an end to the entire ancient golden age."
"But, everything has a price.
The activation of the Underworld-level secret ritual needs to rely on the rules of the world itself to operate.
The high elves used unimaginable power to tear apart part of the basic rules of this world, and based on it, they built a complete undersea-level wonder seal covering the entire world - [Yunivar's Dream]."
"You mean... the dream world!?"
Hearing this, Anvis felt a buzzing sound in his mind, and the many scattered pieces of information he had obtained were completely connected together in this moment!
"Yes, for you, it is usually called 'Dream World' by another name.
And what you call "the wall of the zenith", strictly speaking, is not a 'wall', but the edge of the outer shape of the dream world that surrounds this world, just like the relationship between the yolk and the white of an egg.
Naturally, the seal constructed by gathering the peak power of the entire High Elf clan cannot be forcibly penetrated by beings below the level of legend."
Claire nodded at Anvis' surprise.
"Since then, the upper limit of power in this world has been completely locked at the ninth level limit, because there is no road ahead.
And if a being whose realm exceeds the ninth level accidentally enters this world and reveals the complete power of rules at the legendary level, he will be instinctively attracted by the world that is missing some of the rules and fill in the 'rule hole', which is the dream state.
The layer between reality and reality is where those ancient dark beings were exiled."
"But, in this case..."
Listening to the girl's words, Anvis' brows were frowning tightly at this moment.
As long as you have a basic understanding of ritual magic, you will understand a rule. If the basic medium on which the ritual relies is removed, it will inevitably lead to the failure of the entire ritual.
Looking at the frowning Anvis, Claire's eyes flashed with sympathy.
"Yes, you are right. If you want to break through to the legendary level normally, the only way is to destroy the entire dream world and return the missing part of the world's rules to their original positions.
Regardless of how you can do this, if you really do it, it will inevitably cause those dark beings to lose their seals and return to this world again.
And by that time, even if you break through the legendary rank on the spot, it will be meaningless, because even the weakest among those dark beings have already gone a long way on the road to legend.
Do you know, Anvis? The 'it' that led to the end of the goblin civilization and the destruction of the ancient magic empire was actually just a part of 'them' in the darkness, a child who accidentally separated from the mother body and lost contact.
It’s just body!”
In the eyes of Claire, who has recovered her memory and recalled the secret truth of ancient times, everything Anvis faces has become a dead end.
"..."
Listening to Claire's words, Avis couldn't help but fall into a long silence.
In fact, since he traveled to this world, the strongest enemies he has faced are only the [Saints] of the Holy See and the ninth-level extreme prophet [Stargazer].
Relying on his own foresight, he dealt with countless forces, and finally relied on his own wisdom and strength to gradually compete with them.
But now, the enemy in front of him suddenly turned into an ancient dark existence whose strength far exceeded the legend, and even easily destroyed the ancient magic empire.
This is not an opponent of the same dimension at all, just like a mortal who works hard and finally stands in the heavyweight boxing ring, and then suddenly learns that his opponent has been replaced by Ultraman.
In fact, because he broke through the 'beacon' lit by the ninth-level prophet, this world has already been re-locked by them. Even if he does nothing now, those dark beings will gradually return to this world.
"Give up the idea of breaking through the legend. This era is destined to be desperate."
Gently raising her hand, she combed the blond hair that was fluttering in the night wind at the edge of the terrace behind her ears. The half-elf girl looked at the young man in front of her who seemed to be in a daze, and her tone was a little more unbearable.
"Actually, I have another way to make your consciousness fall asleep and travel to a new era in the future.
In the last secret shelter of the star civilization, the last well-preserved [Time Ball] of the current era is sealed.
As long as you abandon your body and rely on it with your consciousness, you can use its power to penetrate time and space and travel to the next era countless or even hundreds of millions of years later.
By then, the era of darkness should have passed, the rules of the world should have returned to normal, and everything will be fine."
