Chapter 363: The person who spied on the tablet of wisdom text (Thanks to the leader of the Nightmare Twelve)
Endless sea of sand.
The big snake with wings flies on the golden sand sea, and it seems to be dyed golden under the sun.
In this uninhabited desert, it can fly freely.
At the beginning, because it was a monster transformed by the mythical power of the Lord of Radiance, it did not understand the use of its own power at all.
It does not know any magic, and knows almost nothing about power except those market rumors.
In particular, although it possesses extraordinary power, it is not an ordinary powerful person.
Its power comes from the special power of the spiritual door.
The magic of ordinary powerful people, the magic of wizards and alchemists cannot be used directly by it.
But after living for so long, it has gradually mastered some of the most direct methods of using the divine arts of the Lord of Glory.
It can heal itself, and some wounds that would be extremely terrifying to ordinary people can be easily healed by it; coupled with its own powerful body, ordinary people cannot harm it at all.
It can also heal others through its own power, and it can also kill others through this power. This is a power that can directly destroy or destroy other people's body structures.
Wait until you live longer.
It even awakened some strange abilities.
It has mastered the special power of the curse seal. It can imbue some dead objects with spirituality and create a special curse seal puppet.
For example, part of the body is lost to temporarily endow the clouds in the sky with spirituality, and then the body and the clouds merge together to have the ability to control clouds and rain.
It can also impart spirituality to the soil and blend with the soil to form a powerful protection.
In the distance, overwhelming yellow sand came.
Converging into a sandstorm.
"hiss!"
It roared and fell from the sky.
A sandman appeared in the sandstorm, and a big snake wrapped around the sandman's body.
It seems that I have become made of sand, walking in the sandstorm and following the sandstorm towards the distance.
The feathered serpent moves with the wind and sand, shuttling across the endless sea of sand.
It has been hovering in this desert for a long time, but it still has not found the place it is looking for.
"Why can't I find it?"
"Where is that legendary city?"
Feathered Serpent thought so in his heart.
Suddenly, it saw a powerful monster appearing in the sky.
The monster spreads its huge wings and twists its slender body, just like the monarch of the wind, and all the winds passing through the sky obey its orders.
That's a winged demon.
Although the Winged Demon is also a creature of the sky like the Sky Angel and the Feathered Serpent, just by looking at its appearance, you can feel that its life form is extremely ancient.
This is a creature that definitely does not belong to this era, but comes from an era that is so far back that the snake people can hardly imagine and trace it back.
The Winged Demon was created by the sages of the Temple of Truth, and its shape was conceived from the Wings of the Wind.
So it has no feathers and has two fleshy wings. There are holes in the front and rear of the fleshy wings to control the strong wind.
It belongs to the monster.
But compared with existences like stone demons and fire demons that don't look like life at first sight, it is more powerful than other ordinary monsters and is closer to a living body.
It makes people feel that this is a kind of life, rather than something jumping out of flames and stones.
So when some snake people saw it, they couldn't help but doubt their own myths.
If everything started.
It is the Lord of Life who blows the trumpet and creates all life.
So where did this extraordinary existence that seems so ancient that it’s beyond words come from?
Did they come from the kingdom of the gods?
Before their mythology, their history, their civilization began.
Is there still history that they don't know about?
"Monster!"
"It's on its way. It's getting ready to go to that city."
"The ancient city that can give them true wisdom and new life forms."
In the stories that Feathered Serpent had heard, some powerful monsters would be summoned by the city deep in the sand sea and rush there all the way.
They will unlock wisdom and take on new forms.
Become a legendary demon.
so.
As long as it follows the other party, it may be able to find the legendary city.
The feathered serpent followed behind the Winged Demon and flew for several days and nights.
Finally, I saw the magnificent city at the end of the sky.
The thick city wall has ancient spiritual patterns on it. The entire city is a huge ritual array, connected to a powerful prop in the center of the city.
An invisible barrier shrouded the city, blocking the wind and sand flying outside, and blocking the prying eyes of the outside world.
Only monsters and a few lucky people can find this city.
Layers upon layers of tall stone buildings rise from the ground. The tallest is a huge tower called the Moon Tower. There are layers of suspension bridges and corridors connecting the buildings. The city is three-dimensional.
The feathered serpent followed behind the winged demon.
Watch it fall from the sky and turn into a colorful kite in front of the city gate.
The colorful ribbons float behind you, flying flexibly in this three-dimensional city.
Although its body size has become smaller, the use of its power has become more flexible and powerful; and it can be clearly seen that it has wisdom, and the happy fluctuations emanating from its heart have been introduced into the consciousness of the feathered snake.
at the same time.
Various colorful kites also flew from high places, dancing with them in the low sky of the city.
Those were the winged demons that had arrived in this city. Their kites also had strange patterns on them, which looked like expressions. At this moment, these expressions turned into laughter.
There were whispers in the wind, it was them communicating.
The other demon spirits in the city also burst into cheers to welcome the new demon spirits.
"Another flying demon comes."
"Whoa whoa."
"They fly so fast."
"Ah! I want to fly too."
At this time, a demon spirit in the form of a metal doll also rushed down from the tallest tower riding a weird flying machine, and shuttled through the sky together with those flying demon spirits in the form of kites.
"You can still fly without wings."
"Thunder can make you grow wings."
The demon doll piloting the aircraft shouted.
"Well done."
"thunder."
The entire ancient city was plunged into a sea of cheers.
far away.
The somewhat timid feathered snake looked at the city from a distance, feeling the city's antiquity and the unparalleled powerful aura in its depths.
It also looked at the Winged Demon that had turned into a kite form, and didn't understand that the Winged Demon would become like this after becoming a demon spirit.
It doesn't even know that the prototype of the Winged Demon comes from the Wings of Wind Control.
And that miracle prop looks like a big kite.
The demon puppet riding the aircraft came down from a high place, accurately passed through the city gate, and then pulled up again.
finally.
It landed on a piece of sand not far outside the city wall.
The demon doll in gorgeous clothes got off the aircraft and was looking for something on the sand.
Soon he dug out a different-looking aircraft from the sand, then sat down and began to dismantle and study it.
"Lots of parts."
"The idea of this place is better than what I have now."
"Take it back and take a look."
The boundaries of the Demonic Abyss City are not limited to the Royal City. There is a large area outside and around it that is the territory of the Demonic Abyss City.
You can see below that it is connected into a whole piece, just like the "Lost Kingdom" in the snake man's painting, except that the top is covered by yellow sand.
here.
This is the limit of the demon's activity range.
At least for now, it's the furthest boundary they can reach.
"Look again."
"Is there any more nearby?"
suddenly.
The sand surged, and a huge snake head sprang out from it. Along with the snake head, a pair of huge wings appeared.
This guy suddenly appeared, startling the demon doll.
"what?"
The feathered snake cannot speak and can only hiss.
But it has the power of intelligence and can directly communicate with the demon doll using its mind.
"do not be afraid."
"I am a guest from afar, and I want to visit this city."
"But I've never been here, so I don't know how to get in, and I don't know what the rules are here."
"So I wanted to ask you."
The demon doll saw that this guy was huge and scary, but his words were polite and polite, completely inconsistent with his appearance.
"Aren't you a monster? Then why are you here?"
The demon doll saw the opponent's wings and immediately became excited.
"It actually has wings."
"What kind of life are you, and why are you so strange?"
He even came forward and wanted to touch the feathered serpent's wings.
The other party seemed to be very interested in flying beings, whether it was the Winged Demon or the feathered serpent in front of him.
He was startled just now because suddenly, at this moment, there was no fear as expected by the feathered snake. Instead, it was the bold movements of the demon doll that made the feathered snake keep giving in.
Seeing that the feathered snake didn't want him to touch its wings, the demon puppet immediately gave up.
He and Quetzalcoatl shrugged their shoulders and touched their heads to apologize.
"I'm just curious."
"I really like flying beings."
Quetzalcoatl kept a safe distance and then asked.
"I am Quetzalcoatl."
"Please tell me how I can enter the city."
The Quetzalcoatl did not say its real name, perhaps because it no longer wanted people to know its former name after becoming like this, or perhaps it wanted to use its former name after transforming back into a snake-man.
The demon doll picked up the parts that fell on the ground and wrapped them up.
Then he continued to answer.
"You told me your name, then I'll tell you my name too!"
"My name is Ray."
"If you want to enter the royal city, just enter the city gate and walk in directly."
"Lady Elena recently set up a barrier over the city, and we finally avoided the trouble of wind and sand."
"It's just that the barrier also blocks the sky, so I can't fly out directly on my aircraft. I can only enter and exit through the city gate."
The demon doll named Lei looked at the huge body of the feathered serpent and shook his head.
"You are so big, you may not be able to fit through the door."
"You are not a monster."
"Neither can you be baptized at the city gate."
Feathered Serpent nodded. Since outsiders were not prohibited from entering and exiting, there was still a way for him to get in.
The feathered snake looked at the aircraft behind Lei. It had just seen the puppet flying in the sky on the aircraft. It was also very shocked at the time.
I don’t understand how this weird thing created by the other party can fly in the sky?
"This is...the aircraft you are talking about?"
Lei immediately introduced his masterpiece to the Quetzalcoatl.
"Yes, this is my aircraft."
"You just saw it, right?"
"Just like your wings, they can also fly."
Quetzalcoatl asked him: "Is it extraordinary power?"
Lei shook his head, then turned the pedal: "No, it's just an ordinary aircraft; you see, you just need to press the pedal hard and you can fly."
Quetzalcoatl still couldn't understand it and thought this thing was magical.
It's just as magical as the lives living in these cities deep in the desert.
Lei leaned on his aircraft and looked expectantly at the sky in the distance.
"When I can go out, I will ride it to places far, far away, places that no one has ever gone before."
Quetzalcoatl originally didn't like to talk to people, but after hearing what Lei said, he couldn't help but speak.
"Isn't my hometown good?"
"Why go so far away?"
"Home is the warmest place. If possible, I hope to never leave home."
Rei told Quetzalcoatl.
"I'm going to find a place far away, that place..."
As he spoke, Lei's voice suddenly became softer.
"Eh?"
“What place do I want to find in the distance?”
Lei Ye suddenly became confused.
The question asked by Quetzalcoatl brought back memories that had been dormant for too long.
Those things that are imprinted deep in the body, have long been forgotten and refuse to be completely forgotten.
Lei once lived in the era of god abandonment in the previous era.
He wants to go far away and find an undiscovered paradise.
He believes.
You can find a future that belongs to the people of the Demon Abyss on the other side of the sea.
However, time flies by, and it is no longer the First Era, nor is it the Era of God Abandonment.
The earth is full of life, and almost everything that once existed has disappeared.
Whether it is the Sanye people or the people of the Demon Abyss.
It is no longer possible to completely recover the past.
Now even he himself has long forgotten why he created the aircraft in the first place.
No matter how much he thought about it, Lei couldn't remember what he wanted to find in distant places by building an aircraft.
In other words, even if I think of it now, those expectations and wishes have long since lost their meaning after spanning endless years.
All that was left was the obsession in Lei's own heart that refused to go away.
Lei could only ask the feathered snake why it came to the city of Demonic Abyss.
"And you?"
"Why are you here?"
The feathered serpent's wings stretched out and touched the ground.
The yellow sand gathered, and the feathered serpent's body seemed to have lost part of its flesh and blood, blending into the yellow sand.
But the yellow sand condensed together in an instant and turned into a stone snake man.
Immediately afterwards.
The stone snake man actually moved and became alive.
Moreover, through Lei's extraordinary perspective, he also saw spiritual fluctuations emerging from the body of this stone snake man, which is a characteristic that a living being should have.
Lei immediately exclaimed.
"Wow~"
But before he could finish his exclamation, the stone snake man burst out and turned into a ball of sand.
Lei's exclamation immediately changed from surprise to astonishment.
"oh!"
Ray looked at the Quetzalcoatl.
"that's all?"
The special cursed power inherited by the feathered snake can give some dead creatures short-term spirituality, and can only make the opponent move for a while; it has no extraordinary power, let alone any wisdom.
When Lei first saw it, he thought it had created a life, but it was already beyond the reach of mortals.
However, Quetzalcoatl did this not to show off his power, but for what he would say next.
"Once upon a time, I was a snake person."
"It's just because of a disaster that I became what I am now."
"My hometown became the battlefield of the gods. An evil god turned a large number of snake people into what I am now. Fortunately, another god appeared to protect other people in the city."
"In the end, all the other feathered snakes died, and I was the only one who escaped."
"I heard that there is a great being in this city who can turn monsters into human forms and grant them wisdom."
"I think."
"She must have mastered the secret of life."
"I want to find her and change back to what I used to be."
There was sadness and longing in the feathered serpent's heart.
"I am willing to give everything for this, and I am willing to give all the power I have now."
Lei asked Quetzalcoatl: "Why do you want to become a snake man?"
"You already have third-level power, right? And you have such a powerful body."
"If you get stronger, maybe you can become an apostle."
"If I become stronger again, I might be able to seek revenge from the evil god in the future."
Feathered Serpent thought of that evil god, with deep fear in his eyes.
That mythical giant door falling from the sky, that spiral power that annihilates everything, that mythical pollution that changes the form of life.
besides.
Those eyes without any warmth.
He is indifferent to everything, indifferent to everyone's life and death, and treats everyone as a tool. Even himself and his Myth Gate are expendable tools to Him.
Feathered Serpent now feels shivering whenever he thinks about it.
in this world.
How could such a thing exist?
It was not only the strength of the other party, but also the irresistible attitude of the other party, and the indifference of playing with life in the palm of his hand. At that moment, the feathered serpent truly felt what it was like to be a god who can do whatever he wants.
Not to mention resisting, he couldn't even scream.
Under the will of the other party, it is at the mercy of the other party like a tool, and it cannot even decide its own death.
Even if the Quetzalcoatl becomes very powerful in the future, it is estimated that it will not be able to break this terrifying inner demon.
"apostle?"
"If I become an apostle, I may be the apostle of that terrible god. He should have forgotten me long ago. I don't want him to find me."
"As for strength."
"I don't like this power."
"It was forced upon me by that evil god. I hate this power. It turned me into a monster."
The feathered serpent waved its head.
"and."
"I'm too ordinary, how could I become an apostle?"
Feathered Serpent looked at the demon doll in front of him, and the other person's idea was really whimsical.
He doesn't seem to have much reverence for the gods of this era.
"As for revenge against the gods? How is that possible?"
"you do not know."
"How powerful they are."
Next.
There was a look of memories in the feathered snake's pupils.
It remembered the past, that morning before the disaster broke out.
"I don't want any great power."
"I have lived like this for more than a hundred years, and I have been hiding for more than a hundred years."
"I just want to be a snake."
"I want to live in a city of snake people and live with other snake people."
"I want to be able to wake up from my bed every morning, say hello to my family, and go out to work."
"It's that simple."
Such a simple wish.
For him, it has long become a luxury.
Lei thought for a while, but he didn't know how to restore the feathered serpent's original appearance and transform from a feathered serpent into a snake man again.
"Want to become a snake man again? I don't know what to do, and I have never heard of such a request."
"Perhaps Lady Elena will know how to do it?"
"You can ask her."
The demon asked Lei: "Where is the lady Elena you mentioned?"
Lei pointed at the Demon Abyss City: "It's in the temple in the center of the city."——
Lei pushed his aircraft back, taking the parts he collected with him.
He waved to the Quetzalcoatl, and he was eager to go back and improve his aircraft.
Ray shouted as he left.
"if you can."
"If we meet again next time, can you let me see how you fly?"
The feathered serpent looked at Lei's appearance and said.
"Can."
After Lei left.
The feathered serpent looked at the dismantled aircraft on the ground, those useless remains.
The feathered serpent exhaled, and the rusted metal remains gathered together, gradually creating a destroyed humanoid structure.
"Bang bang bang!"
The metal shelves creaked and came together.
It looks like a monster doll, but it is far less refined than a real monster doll, and it is also stained with rust.
The unique ability of third-level intelligent powerful people, the cursed puppet.
However, the cursed seal puppet made by the Quetzalcoatl is more special. It is not any common cursed seal. The power comes from the spiritual door.
It's just that this cursed puppet is too small, and the feathered snake cannot integrate his body into it, so it cannot exert its maximum combat power.
But this time the Quetzalcoatl was going to meet Lady Elena, not to fight.
So it doesn't matter anymore.
The feathered serpent's cursed puppet walked towards the city and passed through the open city gate.
Passing by along the way, there were several demon dolls saying hello to the feathered snake.
The other demons seemed to think he was a demon doll, but he didn't know that the rust on his body confirmed "his identity".
"Is it the doll that just woke up?"
"How come I've never seen it before?"
"It must be a demon spirit that doesn't go out often!"
The feathered serpent controlled the cursed puppet to move forward, heading deeper into the city little by little.
The steep stairs sometimes go up and sometimes go down. Walking through the city is like climbing a steep mountain.
The long corridors were built on the walls of the building, with the abyss at their feet.
The feathered serpent controlled the puppet and walked among them in amazement. It could not imagine how such a building was built.
Especially the moon tower in the distance seems to be a creation of the gods.
finally.
It came to the temple without any hindrance.
It walked towards the main hall, but a demon doll under the temple pointed to the other side.
"Wrong go."
"Go that way."
The feathered snake raised his finger and pointed there, looking at the other party.
The demon doll nodded.
"yes."
"go there."
This is the guarding demon doll, and the other party also thinks that the feathered serpent is the demon doll that has just been resurrected.
Every once in a while, the light of consciousness of the ancient demon doll will fade away over the years, but a new consciousness will be reborn in the body.
And every time they are resurrected, they will come to the Temple of Insai.
Here, they will inherit the words of wisdom again and slowly regain the things in their bloodline bodies.
Memories may be forgotten, but many things are forcibly left in the world by ancient existences and will not fade away over time.
And Quetzalcoatl thought that the other party was telling him that that was the place to meet Lady Elena.
Feathered Serpent thought.
"As expected, she is an almost divine being. I have just arrived and she already knows that I am coming."
Feathered Serpent controlled the puppet and walked into the side hall with awe in his heart.
The hall was very empty, except for the stone pillars erected in the side hall.
On top of the stone pillar.
Ancient stone slabs are enshrined.
The stone slab exudes the atmosphere of eternity, and the words on it describe the opening years of the oldest wisdom.
When it was born, the most ancient ones still lived in the God-given paradise and under the temple of the Creator.
That time period.
The boundary between God and man is so close.
The feathered snake came in without seeing Lady Elena, but it was attracted by the stone slab at a glance, and it couldn't help but walk towards one of the pillars.
"What is this?"
"Why in the temple?"
Quetzalcoatl thought that statues of gods were usually enshrined in temples, but there were no statues here.
The feathered serpent approached and walked under the stone pillar.
It raised its head.
He looked at the words on the stone slab curiously.
A mutation occurred.
The feathered snake originally planned to take a look, but when he raised his head, he just glanced at the "symbol" on the stone slab.
It can no longer move.
It didn't even recognize the text, or even read it.
But once it sees it, it can't escape.
More than that.
It was not only the cursed puppet that could not move, but the feathered serpent's body outside also instantly lost all its senses, and the whole person was pulled into an invisible world of consciousness.
it sees.
The words on the stone slab suddenly became distorted, and then turned into shadows.
It saw that the words on the stone tablet turned into a strange-shaped fish, which was an extinct ancient ancestor fish; and the ground under its feet turned into the sea of ancient times.
Groups of ancestor fish jumped out of the sea and ran into the distance.
Some words turned into a ball of flame. It saw a volcano erupting from a distance, and the erupted material fell from the sky with billowing smoke.
Some words turned into thunder, and it saw a violent sea storm, and thunder fell from the sky overwhelmingly.
One interpretation after another of ancient wisdom words kept falling into its mind, telling it what the words represented and how to use them.
The feathered snake could do nothing but stand there motionless.
This is the Wisdom Word Tablet.
What is engraved on it are the words of wisdom created by the King of Wisdom, Lederiki.
And while it was receiving the interpretation of those words, something even more terrifying happened.
The world is spinning.
It felt like it was standing on a sea of stars.
Countless indescribably ancient figures appeared in the sea of stars, making an overwhelming sound of waves.
The will of these shadows condensed into one, carrying indescribable pressure, completely overwhelming its consciousness.
The curse of ancient creatures has come.
Curse this being who dares to pry into the tablets of wisdom writing and dares to pry into the secrets of the most ancient ones.
The feathered serpent just glanced at the stone slab ignorantly.
It was devoured.
"Anyone of any kind who presumes to spy on the divine objects of wisdom will be punished by the gods."
"Prying into the writing tablets, damn it."
"Damn..."
"Damn..."
"..."
"The words of King Lederiki, the words of the God King, the words of wisdom..."
"O God Yinsai, the Creator, the supreme god..."
Under the sea of stars, countless figures stood out and stared at the feathered snake.
But even just staring at it made the feathered serpent completely crazy; not to mention the overwhelming sound of curses, gathering from the sea of stars.
Across time and years, across vast distances, it comes to this world.
"No!"
"Stop...stop..."
"I didn't pry."
"I didn't look."
The Quetzalcoatl felt that its consciousness was frozen, and it screamed frantically in its heart, but it could not make any sound at all.
It also wanted to stop, but it was too late now.
It doesn't know how to stop, and it doesn't know what the situation is.
"What exactly is this?"
"Why?"
"I just looked at a slate?"
"I just glanced at it?"
Quetzalcoatl once again recalled the scene in Meiya City.
then.
A god wearing a tattered cloak was standing on the city lord's palace, having returned from hundreds of millions of years ago.
But after everyone just glanced at him, they lost their snake-man form and turned into one monster after another.
That is its eternal nightmare.
And this time.
It didn't even see the appearance of a god, it just glanced at the stone tablet with words engraved on it, and it was about to die.
It stood like this in the side hall, the consciousness in its mind quickly annihilating and dissipating.
The sky also gradually darkened.
And the feathered serpent also embarked on the journey home to death.
The curse came from a distant place across space and befell the feathered serpent, and was about to be punished for spying on the tablet of wisdom.
Tell it, a mortal creature that doesn’t know the heights of the sky, that the wisdom words cannot be used by it; if it had just peeked into the wisdom words, it would not have suffered such a huge backlash.
more important.
It dared to look directly at the artifact of wisdom, something left behind by the King of Wisdom, Lederiki.
It was not the King of Wisdom, Lederiki, who punished it, nor the gods.
They are the most ancient ones and the people of the Demonic Abyss who once existed but have long since disappeared.
now.
Night falls.
Along with the darkness, the moon also appeared in the sky.
But what is unusual is that there are two moons in the sky.
One round is the bright moon that can be seen at any time.
And another round.
It is the silver divine moon.
The moonlight swept across the vast land and the endless sea of sand.
The Moon of God rises across the sky.
Everything in the world has become peaceful.
The moonlight shone down from outside the temple, bathing all living beings.
It also shines on the feathered serpent's body and the cursed seal puppet.
