The sun shines through the ice above your head, and the sunlight that shines down carries tiny ripples one after another, rippling slightly on the cold and ancient stone.
The light tilted with the angle of the sun's rise, and finally passed through the stained glass windows on the side of the temple, falling on the stone slabs in the hall and Shoeburn's head.
It's really too quiet here.
Stand in the city, on the holy mountain, or outside the temple and listen quietly.
I can hear the tiny sounds that I don't know where they come from, some of them sound like the sound of water, and some of them sound like someone is singing.
"Crash!"
"La La~"
It's like a fairy song.
Pure and ethereal.
But in this quiet world under the lake, there is also a touch of loneliness and depth.
If the inspiration is stronger, get closer to the sacred murals and statues.
You can even hear the prayers repeated over and over again.
"God said the king wears a crown."
"The King of Wisdom said, God doesn't care, I do."
"God said, I am alone, and you are also alone; the human race has not yet been born in this world, and you are the only three-leaf person."
"Because of loneliness, God created the King of Wisdom, Lederiki. Because of Lederiki's loneliness, God created the Three-Leaf Man."
"Thus began the race, and the kingdom was established."
"..."
"God said, I am the God who created you, and you are their king."
"God said to the King of Wisdom that the ravine of desire will not be satisfied just because you give enough, and the mountain of resentment will not disappear just because you give favors."
"God said..."
"God said..."
"God said..."
It started as one person.
Later it became a few people and hundreds of people.
And, thousands of people.
The prayers of tens of millions of people gathered into a huge wave, overwhelming the sky from the heights of the temple, and swept in the mortals lying on the ground.
The beliefs of all Sanye people are condensed here.
Gathered in this palace.
Shoeborn raised his head and looked at the statue of the Creator with his mouth wide open in confusion.
From shock.
Unacceptable.
To collapse into chaos.
After a whole night, he finally accepted everything, accepted this ancient truth and fact.
"Our God is not the Creator, nor is he the supreme and only god, but an ancient god created by the true Creator."
"Our blood and strength come from another god, from the crown of wisdom. Everything about us... is just a continuation of the previous era, an afterimage of the previous world."
"We have never been God's favorites, nor have we ever shouldered any missions or tests. We are just a group of humble mortal creatures."
Shoeburn stood up and began to walk around the temple.
Just like those priests who just came here for pilgrimage hundreds of millions of years ago.
Shoeborn stood in front of the first mural. There was a very abstract pattern painted on the mural, which told the origin of all power.
"The heaven and earth were first opened, and all things originated."
"God has come into this world."
On the screen is an eternal star, and under the eternal star are three patterns: a crown, a conch, and a divine cup.
According to the records in the Trileaf people's mythology, the power of the Creator is divided into three parts.
The King of Wisdom, Lederiki, inherited the power of the Spirit of God, controlled the power of wisdom with the Crown of Wisdom, and controlled the world with conscious thinking.
He is the firstborn Son of God, born to be the Lord of the sky, the earth, and the sea.
In order to spread the light of wisdom throughout the world, the loving King of Wisdom, Lederiki, dispersed his power to his descendants, leaving only the eternal crown of wisdom.
Sally, the Mother of Life, inherited the power of the form of God. He and his servants have eternal life and the power to create and transform life.
The power of dream power is much more twists and turns. Lord Polo was born in the dream of God and possesses the power of God's domain.
Polo integrated his power into the sun flower sea of the Creator, and gave birth to a family of dream fairies.
He was originally a son of God, a creature of innocence and sweet dreams, but he fell to the human world and was willing to accompany the Queen of Stars to end up in a sweet dream.
Finally, Polo's descendant, Sheila, the messenger of God, inherited the power of the master of dreams and became the existence on the right side of the throne of creation.
Goblins do not distinguish between elders and descendants, and their birth and reproduction are completely different from those of the three-leaf people.
But from the perspective of the three-leaf people, the fairies born from the sea of sun flowers can be said to be descendants of Polo.
They are a race of gods, born messengers of gods.
One mural after another flows past, which is the story of the beginning of heaven and earth and the oldest myth.
The temple that traveled through eternity stood before his eyes, and the eternal gods looked down on the world from outside the world.
He read all the murals and walked up and down the stairs of the temple over and over again.
finally.
He stood in front of Lederiki, the King of Wisdom.
He looked at the crown again.
Only then did he understand why he was so excited when he saw it.
because.
It is the restlessness embedded in one's own blood.
Because He is the beginning of wisdom in this world and the origin of all species of wisdom.
At this time, one ghost after another flew out of Xiuben's Book of Witch Spirits, all crawling towards the King of Wisdom.
Shoeborn seemed to hear another self talking to him in his heart.
"Don't be afraid, you should believe in the power of wisdom."
"Shoburn."
"You should prostrate yourself under the crown of wisdom."
"He is the beginning of everything. You are the inheritor of the wisdom lineage. What you believe in is the supreme wisdom."
Then the voice came closer again, as if calling softly against his ear.
"The Lord of life will not respond to you. He is an aloof god."
"He will not show even a trace of mercy to a joke-like creature like you."
"There is only one lineage of wisdom."
"Only the God of truth and knowledge can give you salvation."
"Only can I give you the strength to save your tribe and country."
Shoeborn silently recalled what the ghost Porick said to him again.
"All species of wisdom."
"They are all descendants of Lederiki."
Shoeborn looked at King Laidliki and the Crown of Wisdom, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.
"yes!"
"We are all descendants of wisdom."
Shoeborn suddenly felt that he had found his destination and he had been saved.
He can use the power of wisdom with peace of mind and believe in wise gods.
"I will use the power of the God of truth and knowledge to save our people."
"To restore our kingdom."
At this moment, Shoeborn suddenly felt that the power in his body was loose.
He became more in tune with the power of the wizard spirit, and he could feel the door of truth in the dark without using any force.
You can feel the God of knowledge and truth in the door of truth, and feel the myth of wisdom.
Shoeburn was no longer confused and decided on his future path.
He prostrates himself in the center of the temple and kowtows to the statue of the King of Wisdom.
Then.
Turned around and left here.
In front of the temple.
Hundreds of ghosts wrapped around him, pushing him to fly high.
The Holy Mountain, the City of Servants of God, and the Sky Temple are getting farther and farther away at your feet, and the Sky Mirror Lake above your head is getting closer and closer.
He calculated the time correctly, and it happened to be the time when the moon appeared in the sky outside.
He flew higher and higher.
Just when he could touch the ice, the ice above his head dissolved little by little and turned into water.
The moonlight penetrates the water and has slight ripples.
Only at this time can you feel that the water in the Sky Mirror is undulating.
"Bo!"
Shoeburn defied gravity and jumped into the water from below.
This is a wonderful sight and an unprecedented experience.
But when he penetrated the water.
He suddenly felt that the entire lake and mountains were shaking.
He turned around and saw something awakening in the darkness deep underground.
Immediately afterwards.
He watched in stunned silence as one after another terrifying monsters over a hundred meters in size woke up from the darkness and floated upwards.
They were monsters that looked like squids or octopuses. They had terrifying helmet shells on their heads and exuded a nightmare-like aura.
The terrifying tentacles waving under their bodies are measured in meters in thickness, and their length stretches for hundreds of meters.
Those tentacles reaching towards the sky are enough to make people feel doomsday-like despair.
Shoeborn's power can be considered powerful among mortals, but it is not worth mentioning in front of such a monster.
He can be sure that in just a moment, the other party can devour him until nothing is left.
He was instantly frightened and kept struggling upwards, speeding up to the surface of the lake.
"What is this?"
Everything going well before made him relax his vigilance, thinking that there was no danger in this place.
Now he finally realized that this was a forbidden place of death.
Anyone who steps into this place will never come back.
But when I think about it, it seems natural.
Here are hidden secrets about the previous era, myths about the Creator and the Gods.
This is the origin and beginning of everything, and it is the holy land of the most ancient race that can be called the descendants of gods.
How can it be something that ordinary people can easily get involved in?
He wanted to leave, but the things quickly caught up with him.
As he got closer, he couldn't see the full picture of these behemoths. He could only see the densely packed huge tentacles protruding from the darkness and entangled him, trying to drag him into the abyss of darkness.
This is the fate of everyone who dares to penetrate into the forbidden land, and it is also the punishment for mortals who dare to peek into the secrets of God.
Shoeborn had a look of despair on his face, but he still had the last life-saving straw.
His body suddenly turned transparent, and the magical tool in his body, Porick's right hand, emitted light.
"Boom."
The Door of Truth, located at the boundary between reality and illusion, suddenly moved, and a ray of light shone from the sky, covering Shoeburn.
Pulled him back from the brink of death.
Shoeborn quickly flew towards the sky and turned into a ray of light.
He crossed the void, left the real world and returned to the edge of the dream world.
However, the moment the door of truth opened, something more terrifying seemed to be alarmed below.
Shoeborn was about to leave reality, but couldn't help but look back.
This glance.
Let him see true despair and terror.
In the dark night, he saw an eye embedded in the earth.
That eye opened from the earth and looked toward the sky.
The whole world turned red in an instant.
The sky was covered with dark clouds and it rained heavily in an instant.
Those behemoths that had just come to hunt Xiuben were like insignificant little bugs in front of them, just fleas attached to their bodies.
Shoeborn was even unable to see the whole picture of the other party clearly, what he saw was just the tip of the iceberg.
Because the size of that eye alone was completely beyond Shobern's imagination.
He couldn't use his own knowledge to compare the size of the other person. How could such a large living entity exist?
He even felt.
This Sky Mirror Lake, the mountain where it is located, and even the entire frozen plateau.
It may all be based on a terrifying and extremely huge existence.
"ah!"
The moment he saw the other person, he couldn't help but scream.
That is a manifestation of fear that has penetrated deep into the blood and soul.
He fled here with a blank mind and never dared to look back.
Or.
I never dare to come back to this place again.
However, at this time, a huge force came from the outside world and bombarded the door of truth.
"Boom."
This blow almost shattered the already dilapidated Door of Truth.
-------------
Everville City.
A young divine servant held a book of shaman spirits that was completely different from Shoeburn's, and unleashed his own magical power.
"The real world of illusion."
Immediately, I saw that the entire hall immediately underwent earth-shaking changes and became magnificent.
One light after another lit up, and many people appeared in the room.
These people are playing and dancing.
But the power of the young divine servant did not last long, and he could no longer hold on.
The moment the magic dissipated, everything returned to its original state.
The splendid hall became dilapidated, the lamps were constantly extinguished, and people became transparent in the music.
Shoeborn stood up from the side and said to the disciple of the Divine Attendant,
"very nice."
"You have mastered this magical technique very skillfully. It seems that you are very compatible with the power of the God of Truth and Knowledge."
The disciple of the God's Attendant was very excited: "As long as you make a sacrifice, you will receive a gift."
"The God of truth and knowledge possesses all the knowledge in the world, and He knows all the secrets in the world."
"He is so great and so generous."
Shoeborn simply said: "Because God needs us, and we need God."
The disciple of God's Attendant didn't understand what this meant, but he felt that it was great to have a god like the God of Truth and Knowledge who could respond to them.
The two people came to the main hall together. The statue in the main hall that the Aiweier people had spent all their money to build with gold was no longer there.
Placed on the altar is a stone statue that was later moved from the side hall.
Shoeborn looked at the stone statue with extremely complicated eyes.
After a long time, he said to the disciple of the Divine Attendant.
"Go and bring Him down!"
"Be careful."
The apprentice of the god's servant has been impatient for a long time. He wants to enshrine the statue of the god of truth and knowledge on it.
Look at the faith he once had.
There was a lot of emotion and sadness in Shouben's tone.
"Maybe He doesn't need our faith at all."
He lowered his head and whispered softly that no one else could hear.
"It's like what the Creator said to the ancient ones."
"It's your business to believe in me."
"not my business."
The apprentice of the Divine Attendant became the second witch spirit.
After he gave up his belief in the Mother of Life, he became even more fanatical than Shoburn.
He personally removed the statue of the Mother of Life from the altar and had someone place the statue of the God of Truth and Knowledge on top.
This is a god holding a book and wearing a white divine robe.
The skills of the craftsmen are very high, and the robes on the statues are carved with a soft, delicate and spotless feeling.
Let the statue of the god be full of sacredness and at the same time have an unspeakable mystery.
In mortal imagination, gods seem to be like this.
Divine and benevolent, yet mysterious and elusive.
Like the sea.
It can give birth to all things, and it can also devour all things.
Next, new murals were painted on the dome of the temple, and new patterns were replaced around it.
On the dome is a crown of wisdom.
That represents their main god, the highest power of the wisdom system.
In the evening, more than 10,000 Aiweier people gathered in front of the temple.
Men, women, old and young, almost everyone who could come came.
The apprentice of the divine servant came to the people, showing everyone the power of the witch spirit and interpreting the greatness of the God of truth and knowledge.
"The Mother of Snakes is no longer willing to protect us, and the Lord of life has long given up on His believers."
"When the Aiweier people are suffering, we don't get any guidance or response."
"We were abandoned."
"We must seek new divine guidance, and we need new salvation."
"We are the bloodline of wisdom, and we should find our destination in more ancient times."
The disciple of the God's Attendant was so excited that he shouted loudly in the temple.
"In the past, we offered sacrifices to the Lord of Life, and the Lord of Life stood by and watched our country be destroyed, and our families were destroyed."
"And now, a great god has reached out to us."
"As long as we believe in Him, we can rebuild our country."
"As long as we believe in Him, we can obtain salvation."
"As long as we believe in Him, we can have true God's protection."
He raised his hands high, as if crazy.
"Let us dedicate our faith to the eternal God of truth and knowledge."
"Sacrifice to God."
"We can get everything we want, the knowledge we want, the power we want."
Cheers rang out from the crowd, but more people were hesitant, and many even looked frightened.
The divine attendants of the Temple of Life actually really want to change their beliefs.
This is simply unimaginable.
But then, the sacrificial ceremony began.
A group of believers had been arranged in the square to pray to the gods.
The prayers echoed among the crowd, the bonfire jumped, and the girls danced the sacrificial dance smartly.
"Hoo ho!"
A strong wind blew up, blowing the bonfire.
A ray of light emitted from the temple and fell on the square.
A lucky person was selected and jumped from a mortal to a wizard spirit on the spot.
The power of power surged through his body, and wisps of light gathered into a book of witch spirits, which fell into his hands.
The disciple of God’s Attendant immediately shouted: “Servant of God, come to the temple.”
"Come to guard and worship your gods."
Lucky Man was so excited that his hesitant eyes instantly turned into enthusiasm.
"I am God's chosen one."
"Our new god is an extremely generous god."
People watched as someone received a gift when they offered sacrifices to the God of Truth and Knowledge. They gained power beyond the ordinary on the spot and became a powerful person.
The scene suddenly erupted into unimaginable enthusiasm, and people's expressions were completely different.
This is a miracle.
It is a true gift from God.
"God has really responded to us." Among the crowd, a person rushed out and crawled under the steps of the temple, longing for God's gaze.
"This is a real god, a real god." Seeing the power displayed by the apprentice god again, the feeling was completely different, and more people shouted.
"Will we also have God's protection in the future?" People whose relatives died in the war also had tears in their eyes at this moment.
The sacrifices wanted by the God of Truth and Knowledge are all kinds of new knowledge. Mortals can sacrifice their own memories and knowledge to obtain another kind of knowledge.
Shoeburn prayed to the gods in front of the temple as the chief priest.
Pieces of light of memory and knowledge flew out from the crowd and surged into the sky.
The navigation skills of the Eweir people, the magical arts developed by the Eweir people in this era, the writing and language of the Eweir people, etc.
Not only human memory and knowledge, but also the mountains of books, wooden boards, and leather scrolls piled in the center of the temple were transformed into balls of light one after another at this moment.
All were sacrificed to the god of truth and knowledge.
Light surges to the edge of the dream world.
Finally merged into the door of truth.
At this time, the crowd in the midst of the sacrifice also saw the huge door standing in the darkness through the sacrifice and induction.
They felt the majesty of the power of myth and the vicissitudes of time that spanned 200 million years.
Feel the immortal eternity of the gods.
"I saw it." The snake men lying on the ground raised their heads one after another and looked up at the sky.
"God, really is a god." Some people trembled all over. They have believed in gods for generations, but this was the first time they saw a real god.
Even if.
This god is no longer the one they once believed in.
"The great God of truth and knowledge is paying attention to us." People in the square kept kowtowing, and some even had blood on their foreheads without even realizing it.
"Look! What a majestic power." Someone's eyes kept shedding tears. He didn't know why he was crying. But the moment he saw the door, he felt as if he saw the boundless sea of stars and the universe, and also saw
The insignificance of mortals.
Under the gaze of everyone, Shoeburn was shrouded in a beam of light falling from the sky.
It can be seen that a mark representing truth appears on his Book of Witch Spirits.
The light of law flows in his body.
Pages of one kind of magical spell recorded in Shoburn's Book of Witches and Spirits flew out, and hundreds of ghosts floated up from Shoburn's Book of Truth, merging with the blue mark.
And a blackened ship docked at the dock also melted in the light and disappeared into the air.
Finally, everything turned into a page of blue light falling from the sky.
Integrated into Shoeburn's Book of Witch Spirits.
Page of truth.
Shoeborn gained third-level power and became a third-level powerful person.
Superior witch spirit.
The difference between third-level powerful people and second-level powerful people is that their spiritual power is activated and they also gain the power of the curse seal.
The two combine and become the spirit of the curse seal.
What the snake-man power summons is a stone puppet, and what the alchemist summons is the lantern spirit of the divine contract lamp, which has all kinds of incredible functions.
What the superior wizard summoned was the Page of Truth.
This is a third-level divine spell that combines all the divine spells learned by the witch spirit, all contracted ghosts, and all knowledge.
Everyone has different strengths, different knowledge, and different ghosts in the contract.
The Page of Truth summoned at the end is also different.
There was a big ship on the page of Shoeburn's Truth. After he opened the Book of Witch Spirits, the ship immediately flew out of the book.
Hundreds of ghosts stood on the boat, watching the city.
The blue sail was raised, and waves were generated under the ship.
It actually rode the waves directly through the city, flew out of the city, and finally rushed into the sea outside.
Watch the big ship leave the dock and head towards the sea.
In the city of Aiweier, everyone shouted at the top of their lungs.
"God of truth and knowledge."
"God of truth and knowledge."
"..."
----------------
Inside the Temple of Knowledge.
Having become a third-level powerful person, Shoeburn is full of energy. He can finally do what he wants to do with his strength. He finally has the power to save everything.
Shoeburn sat alone in front of the window, writing a book with a pen.
There was unspeakable fear in his eyes, and his hands were shaking while he was writing this book. He didn't even know if he should write this book.
but.
He still wanted to record everything he knew.
The book records everything he knows, which is the secret of God that he learned from the Sky Temple.
The ancient creator Yinsai, the three parts of creation authority, wisdom, life, and dreams.
The truth and everything behind this world.
Facts that are shocking and unbelievable.
"God created the world."
"Wisdom, life, and dreams are a trinity. We are born from wisdom. We are a race of the wisdom lineage."
"The Creator Yinsai..."
Just as he was writing this, his hands suddenly shook and became blurry.
The star standing in the sky once again appeared in his mind, and the power that transcended the universe and the years pressed on him, as if it was going to swallow him up and melt him.
As long as Yinsai's name is mentioned, he can't help but think of this scene.
"No."
"I can't look."
"I don't want to see it."
He screamed loudly, he was going crazy.
Shoeborn suddenly understood.
With a being like him, it is impossible to pry into the true appearance of God, even if he only glimpsed the slightest bit through the pictures in the palace.
Even the mention of God's name was beyond his ability.
He quickly crossed out Insai's name and replaced it with the real Creator.
The further Shoburn wrote, the more insane he became.
Because he is telling a story that he cannot bear, and it is also a story that the snake man cannot bear.
While he was writing, he was constantly recalling the location of the Sky Temple and the scenes inside the temple.
He felt he couldn't breathe.
Finally, he made the final stroke.
At this time, his body as a witch spirit had become almost transparent.
He immediately glued the books together and made a leather cover.
Shoeborn leaned back on the chair with relief.
When Shoeburn closed the title of the book, a whisper suddenly came to his ears.
It was like the thousands of people praying he heard at the Sky Temple, but this time it was thousands of people speaking vicious words.
It seemed like countless people were cursing him and this book.
Shoeborn didn't know whether this was true, or whether it was because he had peeked into God's secrets again and again, which had brought his fragile consciousness to the edge of collapse.
He raised his head and looked out the window.
There are dark clouds outside the window and thunder is shining.
He vaguely saw an eye looking at him among the black clouds and lightning.
Those eyes.
It was almost exactly the same as what he saw on the frozen plateau.
"impossible."
But after he stood up, the eyes disappeared again.
He leaned against the wall slumped and looked out the window in horror.
The book on the table fell to the ground with a muffled sound.
"The Book of Shoeburn".
This was the later name of this book. The legend book records the truth of the world, records the secrets about the gods, and has the names of the gods.
Some people also say that it is a blasphemous book.
A book cursed by the gods. Anyone who opens this book is destined to suffer divine punishment.
