Going down the winding and steep path, Anli stepped into Anhuo City.
In hundreds of millions of years, this city finally welcomed the first living Trifoliate.
She walked on the silent avenue, and the fluorescent light above her head made the city look mysterious and dark. Only her shadow moved in the light, and everything else was still.
It seems that not only the buildings, but also the shadows here have remained unchanged since eternity.
The Sanye people once thought that they were its masters, but in the end, years and time proved it.
They are just passing by.
"clatter!"
"clatter!"
"clatter!"
Every footsteps followed the street away, and then faint echoes came from the distance.
After walking for a long time, Anli stood in front of a fountain pool.
Looking through the high spray of the spring water, I saw a temple, one of the nine ceremonial temples in the past - the Ice Temple.
Various rituals, such as the oil ritual, the ointment ritual, the sugar ritual, the noodle ritual, etc., all evolved step by step from the original ice ritual, and they all started from this ice temple.
"Ice Temple!"
Anli finally arrived here.
At this time, the ghost in the necklace on her chest also appeared.
Float next to her and follow her around the temple.
"Let's rest here." The ghost said when he walked to a house.
Anli entered the room and took a look. It was mostly empty, but some stone tables and chairs were still there.
Anli sat on the chair and looked at the window.
Everything seems familiar.
It seems like I did this a long time ago.
"This is the library." The books in the library are still there. When the scroll is unfolded, you can still see the corners that have been damaged by reading it many times.
"This is the prayer room. We used to come here often." Anli is a devout believer, but the main temple outside is open to the public. She prefers to pray to the gods alone in the prayer room.
"This is the ritual workshop." The former ritual temple was not only a temple, but also a huge material production base. It was precisely because of the existence of the ritual temple that the civilization of the Trileaf people was pushed to its peak.
An Li walked between the huge workshops and warehouses, where she used to be in charge.
Countless amounts of food, sugar, and oil come from here to support the entire Xiinsai Kingdom.
These rituals created by her teacher Lan En can be said to have become the basis for the rise of civilization.
Food is the most critical resource in any era. This place is so important that Vivien arranged for Anli to guard it here and not allow any accidents to occur here.
Anli has seen everything here, and it seems that she gradually has a more familiar outline of her former self in her mind.
Billions of years ago, she once lived here, guarding the civilization of Xiinsai.
Billions of years later, she returned here again.
And at this time.
Only in the depths of this forbidden land of death, under the power of the giant god Ruhe.
These remaining three-leaf talents can find some afterglow of past civilization and time.
When he walked to the statue of Yinsai in the main temple, the ghost suddenly spoke.
"The stuff is here."
At first, Anli thought that the ghost was talking about things left by Lan En.
"Is it something left by Teacher Lan En?"
She was so pleasantly surprised that she didn't expect it to be so easy.
She has already made preparations to live here permanently for a while.
However, after opening the secret compartment, it was discovered that it was a bone book.
It records spiritual activation techniques, how to use curse seals, and a large number of ancient magical techniques such as "Divine Grace Technique".
However, when I turned to the back, I saw the first line above.
"I am Anli, a student of Lan En, the second generation sage of truth!"
This is clearly something left behind by the former Anli.
An Li had heard Ghost talk about this before, but she didn't know the specific location. At this moment, she held the book in her hand, feeling a little disappointed but also a little amused.
"It's the book we left behind."
"That's telling me."
"Do I still have to do some things myself?"
But then, Anli still sat in the temple and read her autobiography in detail under the statue of Insai.
When she closed it, Anli gained another layer of understanding about her past self.
She looked at the temple, paying attention to every detail in the temple.
"I always felt that my stories were a bit unreal before, but now that I am here, they feel too real."
"It's as real as if I really lived here not long ago, as if I just left not long ago."
After coming here and seeing so much, Anli finally fulfilled one of her long-held wishes.
Next, she will carefully search for the things left by her teacher Lan En.
Anli raised her head and looked at the tall temple walls, walking around in the temple while talking to herself.
"you say."
"If the teacher would also leave something in the place where he has stayed the longest, his hometown, and the most glorious and memorable place in his youth."
"What could it be?"
"What could it be?"
As Anli was talking, she suddenly saw her own bone book.
An Li couldn't figure it out before because she was not in the same position and situation as her teacher Lan En.
And hundreds of millions of years later, when she looked back, she suddenly realized that her last moment situation was, in a sense, very similar to Lan En's situation at that time.
"You won't be like me before, leaving behind the inheritance of the Temple of Truth, right?"
When Anli thought about it, it was really possible.
When Lan En reached this stage, what he was most worried about was the severance of the inheritance of the Temple of Truth.
Especially in that era when evil gods were raging and the entire Xiinsai was on the verge of collapse.
In order to prevent the Temple of Truth from being destroyed, Lan En directly let the Island of Mist drift on the sea, constantly changing its location, just because he was afraid that the villain in the bottle would find the location of the Temple of Truth.
Under such circumstances, it is very reasonable for Lan En to have the idea to place a copy of the inheritance of the Temple of Truth in another place.
Once you have a goal, you no longer just look around in confusion, but become more targeted.
Anli immediately followed this idea and began to search for things that Lan En might have hidden in the Ice Temple and Anhuo City.
"Since it is an inheritance, then it should probably be a bone book prop inscribed with a lot of knowledge using divine magic, just like me?"
"Maybe it's a gem with a shadow?"
"Or a scroll, a stone tablet, a stone tablet?"
"In order to prevent others from discovering it, the teacher must have used very special magic to disguise it as an ordinary object, just like me."
Anli searched around the Ice Temple, but couldn't find anything suspicious, so she asked the ghost.
"Do you think it won't be in the Ice Temple, but somewhere else where Mr. Lan En once lived or stayed?"
Ghost: "You have looked for these places before, but you didn't find them."
An Li said: "I didn't find it before, but it is definitely different from now."
In the past, those fourth-level magical arts might have escaped Anli's supervision, but now that Anli has the power of myth, the situation is naturally different.
Anli left the Ice Temple and stepped into Lan En's former residence.
Lan En's former residence was transformed into a prayer hall in one of the districts of Anhuo City after he resigned as the chief priest of the Ice Temple.
There are also portraits of the first-generation saints, second-generation saints, first-generation, second- and third-generation saints hanging in the church, leaving many traces of former priests.
However, the portrait of Vivien, the third generation sage, was hung up later. The former had been hanging there since Lan En's time.
Anli searched for bone books, scrolls, slates and other things again, but she still couldn't find them.
The power of myth seems to have no effect at this moment.
Finally, Anli looked at the hanging portraits.
An Li had a sudden thought: "Tell me, could it be a painting?"
I didn't notice it before, but now I'm taking a look.
She suddenly discovered that Lan En's portrait was different from the others with only a head drawn.
The painting is a full-length portrait, with part of a huge squatting cursed puppet drawn on Lan En's back.
The puppet has a body made of sugar crystals, a noodle hat on its head, and food paste flowing in its body.
"This is a prop."
Ghost glanced at An Li and said nothing.
If it was so conspicuous, the former Anli should have discovered it long ago.
Because everything hanging on the wall is props, but they are the kind of things that can barely be called props at the most basic level.
The function of all portraits, including Vivien's, is to project a text or image.
This kind of commemorative prop has no function at all. It is found in many temples and prayer halls. Naturally, no one will steal it, and few people pay attention to it.
But Anli felt that what Lan En left behind was a legacy, so she naturally paid special attention to such things. She felt that since it was a prop, even if it was a basic and common prop, it was possible to leave information on it.
She looked hard at the painting, becoming more and more fascinated.
In her eyes, the painting seemed to be magnified countless times.
"Do you think so?"
"There are words on the body of the cursed puppet?"
After Anli finished speaking, the projection in the painting appeared.
It started out as Lan En's shadow, but gradually, it turned into a giant sugar crystal cursed puppet.
Anli circled around the cursed puppet and took a closer look, and found that its body was indeed engraved with densely packed tiny lines.
It is completely invisible to the naked eye. It takes mental power to explore deeply, and then you are shocked to find that they are all information pictures and wisdom words.
But under ordinary circumstances, whoever dares to mentally scan a sage, even if it is a projection, is extremely disrespectful.
Anli extracted all those words and recorded them.
Densely packed text surrounded her, and she discovered that it not only contained the complete inheritance of the Temple of Truth, but also those ancient magical arts that had been lost, as well as some very key things left behind by Lan En in the later stages of his life.
"The secret of immortality?"
"Initial experimental data on the reincarnated person?"
Lan En found the method of reincarnation, but he did not have the four-point secret technique of Divine Grace of Anhofors.
Therefore, the reincarnated person's experiment ended up just focusing on data and was not really successful.
Finally, another student of Lan En, Xiao, completed the experiment.
An Li looked at these words and said.
"Teacher Lan En."
"You really left a legacy in Anhuo City. It's a pity that I discovered it too late."
An Li was a little frustrated.
If it had been discovered in the previous era, it might have some effect.
But in this era, it cannot be said that these inheritances have completely lost their role, but they are indeed not as precious as before.
An Li accepted this inheritance and then stepped forward to take off the painting.
Then I discovered that there was something else on the reverse side of the painting.
It was a contract document signed through a dream and witnessed by the Lord of the Dream World.
In ancient times, a large number of priests used this method to control and control the monsters.
"The contract of the Stone Demon King?"
Anli knew what this thing was based on the content of the inheritance she had received before.
A fourth-level stone demon was born in the ancient times. After being killed by Anli, he brought back the mythical organ, which eventually became the material of Lan En's reincarnated era.
Finally, looking at the experimental data, Lan En seems to have resurrected the Stone Demon King.
And he signed a contract with the Stone Demon King when he was still an embryo?
"Twenty million years have passed. Is the King of Stone Demon still there?"
"Besides, what use can a former fourth-level Stone Demon King do?"
An Li shook her head.
It's been too long. Things that were once so precious seem to be nothing now.
An Li held the painting in her hand and looked outside with some guilt.
I don't know if I can take him out, or if the Moon Demon Fern is watching me at the moment.
However, since it was a legacy left by the teacher and such a precious thing, Anli still wanted to take it back.
"Although it's a little late, I still received what you left behind, teacher."
Now that we're here, it seems like we should go back.
But for some reason, Anli still felt a little lost.
seem.
During this trip, she did not find the answer she wanted to find.
Here she found traces of her past and affirmed her past self.
However, she still doesn't know what to do in the future.
She held the painting and carefully wiped the non-existent dust on the painting, preparing to wipe it clean and store it away.
Looking at the words carefully, there are not only images but also words on the painting.
"The mission is to start from the smallest things, such as making a sweet and delicious paste."
An Li was suddenly stunned for a moment and looked at the words of other saints and sages on the wall.
In addition to the portraits of saints and sages, each portrait also has a sentence that they once said.
Saint Tito: "Destiny is given to us by God."
Saint Stan: "We don't have to pursue the eternity of life at all, because this moment is the eternity of my life."
Sage Sandian: "One generation does its own thing."
Sage Lan En: "Great missions always start from the smallest things..."
Sage Vivien: "The torch will never be extinguished, and the temple will last forever."
Looking around, looking at the portraits of saints and sages, looking at the sentences connected together, she seemed to have some kind of feeling.
An Li stepped forward, wanting to take a closer look at the handwriting on the paintings.
But as she got closer, she stood in the center.
She seemed to have touched some kind of prayer hall mechanism.
Suddenly, the painting cast shadows one after another, standing in front of Anli.
The figures from different eras looked at her at the same time.
For a moment, Anli suddenly felt that their gazes were pressing on her like a mountain.
And in his ears, there were faint calls from thousands of people who had inherited the Temple of Truth, rushing toward him like waves.
"Destiny...eternity...mission..."
"The temple endures forever..."
When they first hear these words, most people are not able to understand their profound meaning.
But Anli memorizes everyone's life in the painting.
Therefore, when she saw them and heard them in this ancient mythical city, especially when they were all connected together, her feeling was completely different.
The words of Saint Tito were spoken after he arrived in the God-given land. He went to the God-given land to find his destiny, and finally learned that God had already left his destiny to man.
Saint Stan ended the era of trolls and kingship, and sought the gift of miracles from the Creator. He died in the disaster of pursuing immortality caused by the last blood king of kingship, thus speaking of the eternity of that period of life.
and personal eternal words.
Sandian was the person chosen by Stan to start the Age of Miracles. He brought the most glorious era and the most powerful power. He established the temple and passed on knowledge to everyone, whether they were the Trileaf people or the people of the Demon Abyss.
Some people once questioned that all he did was open the door to destruction and increase the strife in this world.
And it was indeed the case later. His student Haru fell in pursuit of power, and Haru's student Anhofors even created an evil god and almost destroyed the world.
The Temple of Truth has given birth to a large number of strong men, as well as a large number of people who provoke disputes and destroy.
And Sandian had foreseen all this.
But he firmly believes that what he has done is not wrong. No one can control the future. As long as we can do a good job now, the rest should be left to the people who come after us. We should trust the people who come after us.
Lan En was not the sage successor chosen by Sandian at the beginning. He became a sage little by little from the smallest things, starting from making food ointment, making oil noodles, sugar crystals and other smallest things.
The temple and the era entered their most glorious moment in his hands, the population multiplied rapidly, and civilization achieved a qualitative leap.
He was a gentle and kind person, even the last words he left were the same.
As for the sage Vivien, she took over the position of the sage in the midst of the storm.
At that time, the second generation sage Lan En was killed by the evil god, Xiao betrayed the Temple of Truth, and the evil god's power spread across the land and ocean.
That saying, the torch will never be extinguished, and the temple will last forever.
It was shouted at the most critical moment, during the most violent rainstorms and hurricanes.
Everyone was scared and frightened, but she still persisted.
In the end, she led everyone to counterattack on the Holy Mountain, ending the era of the evil god. It was also she who finally brought the Trileaf Man and the inheritance of the Temple of Truth, spanning 250 million years.
This sentence completely displayed the history and inheritance of the Temple of Truth in front of Anli.
Before coming here, Anli was a little confused and hesitant.
She kept asking herself.
"What should I do?"
"What is the so-called truth and the will of the saints?"
When she looked at the genealogy chart of the supreme god in the Kingdom of Blood, she seemed to have found the answer.
"For faith."
But when she saw the story of "King Jesser", she felt that her persistence and belief seemed to be shattered in an instant.
Jessel was undoubtedly pious, but that piety eventually led him to a desperate situation. He kept proving his faith in God, but in the end he turned against God.
She didn't understand what she was looking for or what she was doing.
But now I stand under the portraits of saints and sages.
Anli suddenly understood that everything was in these sentences.
Saints and sages, these great people, their lives and past have already proven everything, they have already found the answer, and are guiding her step by step forward.
She looked at Saint Tito's words and spoke.
"Because God Sai does not need the faith of mortals, the Creator wants mortals to control their own destiny."
"Because our faith is always in our hearts and does not need anything to prove it."
"Because our existence is faith itself."
She looked at Saint Stan's words and said to Saint Stan's shadow.
"The myth of eternal life not only reaches the eternity of life, but also reaches the eternity of life and ideals."
Finally, her eyes focused on Sandian's words.
"When the times come, people will naturally rise to the occasion."
"Someone shows up with a mission."
"Because the torch of truth will never be extinguished, and the will of the temple will always be there."
at last.
She looked at her teacher Lan En.
Start thinking about what is your own mission and small things?
She suddenly thought of the astrological ball and the strange uses of the magical seeds.
She remembered what Teacher Lan En once said to her: "The greatest missions often start from the smallest and ordinary things."
As if she finally figured it out, Anli took a deep breath and then spit it out.
She held the teacher's portrait, looked at the figure with the cute and funny cursed seal puppet in the portrait, and finally smiled.
"teacher!"
"I know what to do."
——
Moonlight Temple.
Above the Magic Wheel House, Matavs and Silver were waiting outside for the return of the Blue Goddess.
They had looked inside again and again before, but they had not seen the shadow of the Blue Goddess, and there was still no movement on the closed fluorescent wall.
Matafos could only sit down and start reading the books on the magic wheel house.
With Anli's permission, she can read the books placed outside.
This is the treasure of the gods, and Matafusi can't wait to read all these books at once.
Most of them are about the knowledge of various magical arts. Matafosi never knew that there are so many kinds of magical arts in this world, as well as so many fantastic ideas.
Matafos looked at it with great joy, and suddenly Silver stood up and looked out the window.
"What's wrong?"
Matavs looked over and suddenly understood something.
"Lady Anli is out?"
She followed them to the window and saw the fluorescent wall opening again, and a figure walked out of the fantasy plant world.
Matafosi opened the door, and Heyin walked down to greet Anli.
After Anli walked up, she said to Matafosi and Yin.
"Next, you can follow me!"
Matafosi and Yin looked at each other and asked curiously.
"Where to go?"
An Li said with a smile: "To change this era, to push the world forward."
Anli has already thought about what she wants to do.
Matavs and Silver looked at each other, this proposition was too big.
The Magic Wheel House keeps moving forward.
But halfway through the walk, Anli, who was looking out the window with her chin clenched in thought, suddenly moved her eyes and raised her head.
Suddenly she had a flash of inspiration and figured out one thing: why did her teacher Lan En so solemnly leave behind the contract ceremony documents of the King of Stone Demons.
"I remember that the Stone Demon King was re-transformed after his death and performed a reincarnation spell."
"The bodies of monsters are very special. They can be reincarnated in their own bodies."
"Asexual reproduction, self-generation."
"Teacher, will the stone demon king have a permanent reincarnation spell engraved on it?"
A stone demon without the four-point secret technique of divine grace, no brain, and no external force cannot give birth to higher wisdom.
A carrier of immortality spells that can be reincarnated, die and be resurrected.
A picture suddenly appeared in Anli's mind.
A stone man who has been reincarnated for more than 200 million years, has pure divine blood, possesses huge power, but has no brain or advanced wisdom, is lying in a corner of the world at this moment.
It does not have the authority of God, but it has the divine blood of God.
Even Anli opened her mouth wide at this moment.
"No way?"
If true, this may be the greatest treasure Lan En has left to future generations.
However, at that time, Vivien and Anli were not able to find the embryo of the Stone Demon King in the Island of Mist and the Temple of Truth that were destroyed by the evil god.
I wonder if Lan En foresaw the danger in advance and moved it and hid it somewhere else.
It's possible that it once fell into the hands of the evil god.
It's also possible that it's in Xiao's hands.
In short, everything is possible.
But this big living thing can run. An era has passed, and who knows where it has gone in the world.
Unlike props that stay in the former land of Hinsai, the current giant island of Ruhe does not move.
Even the power of myth cannot extend to every corner of the world. It is not that easy to find a living prop that has escaped.
An Li stood up and took out the painting left by Lan En again.
