The black iron dragon passed through the land of the full moon. The soul body of Helfas was sitting on the back of the dragon wearing a cloak, one hand pressing one of the sealed books, and the other hand holding a black pen.
Occasionally, he would lower his head and look at the scene above the ground.
In the past few years, the population on the earth has grown rapidly. The major nobles no longer provoke wars with each other. The natural population reproduction has accelerated in a stable environment. The king of the world, Odeni, has integrated the old nobles and sent officials to coordinate the management of various city-state territories.
The boundaries and tariffs between a large number of territorial city-states were abolished, and the number of merchant fleets naturally increased.
Along the way, you can see many more villages and towns surrounded by oil-bread farmland. Various iron farm tools, daily necessities, books, cloth and new things are sent from Helfas City to various places along the river fleet, and civilian life also takes place.
There have been earth-shaking changes.
There are more caravans on the road, but generally there is a snail car leading the way. This is still in a safe zone like the Western Region, and the chance of encountering dangerous and strange things is low. The roads have also been smoothed for hundreds of years. In the wilderness,
In a place full of weird things, it would be difficult to move without a snail car.
But on the other hand, as the population increased, the demand for bronze dragon statues and various sealed objects became more and more huge. Demon hunters belonging to the Sealed Court also had to deal with an increasing number of extraordinary events. A large number of demon hunters every day
I spend my days traveling between towns and villages non-stop.
Today these demon hunters go to a certain village below to seal a strange thing, tomorrow they go to investigate the disappearance of a certain caravan, and the day after tomorrow they search for a strange thing that may have invaded the town. This has given rise to a lot of folk stories about demon hunting in the sealed garden.
The various stories of people and monsters fighting against monsters have also made the Sealed Court and the Demon Hunters more positive in the eyes of ordinary people.
Before the birth of the Sealed Court, although demon hunters would also do such things, they were incidental. Rather than doing these things, various ancient families and city-state owners preferred to use them for war and force deterrence.
It was not until the Sealed Court was established under the power of the Black King that an unprecedented order system entered this civilization.
Helfas looked at the changes on the ground, looked at the curling smoke, looked through the shacks, and could even see the people on the stove using iron pots. This was one of the changes he had brought about, and he felt a little happy in his heart.
.
"Without stronger power and foundation, civilization has indeed reached its limit at this stage."
"Perhaps the previous wars and killings also have another part of the reason. The population that this land can accommodate is also close to a certain limit."
Thinking of this, Herfas's determination to explore the fourth level power became even higher.
Naturally, there are coastal towns in the Western Region, but this area is relatively barren, and many coastal areas are steep and steep, making it difficult to build cities. However, with the opening of a new route, the area has become lively.
Helfas flew on a dragon over the coastline with towering cliffs, passing through the sea, and finally appeared in the sky above the Evil Beast City.
But when he first glanced down, his expression changed.
"has a problem."
The black iron dragon hovers high in the sky.
Helfas could see people in the port city below gathering densely on the streets, staring blankly in the direction of the palace.
These people stood on the road like statues, motionless.
Helfas let the black iron dragon stay outside, but he landed towards the city. He passed through the sea of clouds and landed on the streets of the city little by little, while looking at everyone else around him.
The first thing he noticed was naturally the color of these people's hair, which was obviously abnormal.
"Demon?"
This bright red hair, as bright as flames and blood, immediately reminded Helfas of those demons.
However, after careful inspection, it was discovered that these people did not possess extraordinary powers. Apart from having similar hair colors, they were just ordinary dragon people.
Helfas thought again of the origin of the original path professionals, that special ethnic group. Now it seems that the people here also have what that group has, and many original path professionals may be born in the future.
Professional.
And as he looked closer, he also discovered that in fact these people were motionless from a distance and were still talking, but their will seemed to have been taken away by something.
"God's form."
"Perfect gesture..."
"Look, how beautiful, divine...great..."
"It's so perfect...God..."
They stared straight ahead with an obsessed look in their eyes.
It was as if they had seen the most beautiful sight in the world, and they seemed to want to use all the beautiful words in the world on what they saw.
Helfas used his psychic ability to invade their minds, and immediately felt a terrifying force absorbing his will, dragging him towards an unknown place.
He immediately stopped thinking.
But at that moment, he also saw what these people saw.
In the vast primitive land, the outline of a god hung in the sky like the sun, and countless voices came from the whole world to pray to him.
Helfas came back to his senses and felt uneasy for a moment.
What made him uneasy was not the sight he saw, but the force that kept pulling his consciousness deeper. It seemed to want him to see more, as if a huge magic mouth wanted to pull him away.
Devour.
This kind of power just corresponded to the power he had guessed belonged to the gods.
"The power of the gods?"
He didn't know what that shadow represented, but it was clear that he might have seen one of the huge secrets behind the original man's path.
Helfas felt more and more how dangerous the powerful beings in this world were. To contact, see or even know their secrets, a certain threshold was required.
But Helfas had no time to worry about this at this time, and he immediately walked towards the depths.
While walking, he was also using his spiritual power to create vibrations.
"wake up!"
A shout rang out in the minds of everyone around him, and these people also got out of that weird state one after another, and the obsession on their faces gradually disappeared.
They began to come back to their senses and looked around, as if they had completely forgotten what had happened before, and they didn't even understand why they were standing here.
"How did I get here? Am I not in the house?"
"What's wrong?"
"Why did your hair become this color?"
"The same to you."
"What's wrong with your eyes? They're not the same as before."
"I do not know!"
Helfas kept walking towards the inside. As he walked through, the whole city seemed to come to life again. One person after another began to move, and the crowds of people in the street turned from silence to noise.
Seen from the sky, he seemed to be rekindling the city like a flame.
And as he entered the palace.
The strange scene we saw became more and more serious. There were huge trees here, and their branches were densely intertwined with green leaves.
The animal skin blanket on the ground grew to cover the ground, and even began to regenerate and grow flesh and blood, as if it was trying to recreate the life form to which the blanket belonged.
There were vague silhouettes of people squeezed out from the palace wall, and from Helfas's soul perception perspective, they could be heard whispering.
And the waiters, guards and royal family here are no longer standing, but directly kneeling on the ground.
Their expressions were even more fanatical.
It's like a pilgrimage.
The soul went straight to the source and appeared in front of a palace. It can be noticed that everything emanates from here.
His eyes immediately passed through the giant trees and branches entangled in the palace, and he saw a child in the shape of a god among the dense purple cocoons.
She had begun to restrain her strength, but she still didn't wake up.
She seemed to have forgotten something and couldn't remember it.
At this time, Helfas took out the bead from his sleeve, and the moment he took it off, he saw the bead running towards the child impatiently.
Helfas looked at the other party and shouted.
"purple!"
"came back."
The moment he called out the other person's name, he saw a ray of light falling from the sky.
That miraculous light enveloped the sky, leading directly to the kingdom of the gods. Helfas could even see the pillar of its source through the light.
On the pillar, Zi's name shines brightly.
It seems that something has returned along with it and descended into the world again.
And on the sea in the distance, a terrifying island that can affect the celestial phenomena and swallow lives suddenly got rid of the island form and turned into a group of terrifying monster shadows.
The sky darkened instantly, black wind and bloody rain came together, and countless figures let out shrill wails.
Even the demonic figure was roaring violently.
"Buzz buzz!"
It's just that the weird sound seems to be beyond the range of ordinary life's perception. You can only feel a buzzing vibration passing between the heaven and the earth, continuously spreading into the distance along the laws.
Countless life forms around him exploded at this moment and returned to their original state. The entire sea was dyed blood red.
And the demonic figure crossed the space and gradually disappeared into the sea, seeming to be pulled into the distance by a huge force.
It took hundreds of thousands of years for it to finally get some of its escaped power sealed again.
And next time.
It may not have such good luck.
The Royal Palace of Basel in the City of Evil.
Helfas raised his head and looked directly at the sky, and saw the huge shadow coming across the space, like the sea half swallowed by a giant whirlpool and then retracted into Zi's body.
Although everything was fleeting, he knew what it was.
"The fetus of multiplication of life."
This extremely terrifying weirdness, part of the power that escaped finally returned to Zi's suppression.
Its power is indescribably powerful, and it is beyond the scope of what professionals and demon hunters of this era can understand.
Without Zi's physique and Ji Zhu's suppression, Herfas couldn't imagine what kind of picture it could create, and he could even believe it was a demon.
Helfas, who was equally powerful as it, had only seen one thing, which was the strange giant vine near the Gate of the Earth.
Even now, Helfas still has not understood why such a terrifying monster could be suppressed by Zi's power. From Zi's past, it seems that she has some innate authority and talent.
Helfas thought of Zi's hometown, what another group of people called him, and the mysterious group in the north.
However, the road still has to be walked step by step.
Now that Zi has returned, Helfas sees hope of breaking through the secrets of the fourth level.
before.
Although Zi has a physique that can accommodate such a powerful and weird thing, she only has first-level power, so she has never been able to completely restrain and control this powerful and weird ability bit by bit. Instead, its power continues to dissipate over time.
But things are different now than a thousand years ago. After the original person was born, after Zi copied the person, some people have gradually explored the complete third-level path.
And Helfas still had a brain demon in his hand, so he felt that maybe the fourth level wouldn't be a problem.
——
In the palace.
After waking up, Bass was horrified to see the palace that had changed beyond recognition. He turned his head and looked around quickly, but before he could open his mouth and shout out, his eyes immediately fixed on a man standing in the mutated jungle. On the figure.
Green branches spread on the palace wall, and thick roots crisscrossed under the feet. The person stood in front of the palace on the steps, looking at the person kneeling below with a solid gaze.
Although the figure in front of him was glowing and could not be seen, his cloak was very familiar to him.
"Lord Helfas?"
As soon as Bass shouted, he was immediately confirmed.
He was half-rising and immediately knelt on the ground again. At the same time, he knelt forward and said excitedly.
"You are finally here."
"The last descendant of the farmer family, Bas has been waiting for your arrival."
Helfas held the hand of a child with purple hair. She stood there very quietly, with her head lowered a little reservedly and not looking at anyone else. She held Helfas in her hand and remained motionless.
Helfas looked at Bass, he was much more mature and stronger than a few years ago.
He raised his hand and a strong gust of wind lifted Barbas up, stood on the steps in front of the palace door and spoke.
"Bass, you fulfilled your promise!"
"You have brought an ancient existence back to this world. At the same time, your bodies have been infected with this special aura of power, and you have the threshold to enter another path."
Bass didn't understand what this meant yet, so he thanked Helfas first.
"It is my honor to be able to complete the mission you have given me."
"But great Black King, what do you mean by the threshold of another path?"
Halfway through Bass's words, he saw that the hair on the side of his face had changed color, and he immediately exclaimed.
"My hair?"
"How could this happen? How could it turn red?"
Helfas did not hide anything, but directly asked Bass: "Do you remember the power I once temporarily gave you?"
Bass certainly remembered that when Helfas copied the organs and talents of animals and integrated them into his body, it was this power that allowed him to cross the sea and seal the evil beasts, and possess the sealed object, the evil beast war helmet.
But since then, he has never felt this incredible power again.
Helfas continued.
"This power belongs to another career path. From now on, some of you will have the potential to become professionals, just like dragons."
"As long as you find the weird seal corresponding to the path and enter your body, the essence of life will transform."
Bass was stunned for a long time, and then when he spoke, his face turned red and his eyes stared hard as if they were about to fall out of their sockets.
As the king of an island kingdom, although he is not a top figure on this land, he is at least well-informed. However, at this moment, he cannot suppress the horror in his heart and is wildly joyful.
gush.
Bass spoke in fits and starts.
"You...you...mean that I can become..."
"Becoming a paranormal professional?"
Helfass: "Just potential."
This is enough. The scariest thing in this world is not the difficulty, but the fact that it doesn't even give you a chance.
Bass kept kowtowing and was so excited that he didn't know what to say to thank the ancient king in front of him. He finally asked.
"The great Black King, Lord Helfas!"
"What is the name of the path you are talking about? Can you give Bass the direction?"
In the past, most people called those who took this path a devil.
But if Helfas wanted to use this extraordinary profession and turn it into a part of civilization, he naturally needed to use a relatively positive name. He immediately thought of the name of this path profession within the Divine Shape Society.
Helfath: "Path of the Original Man!"
And the moment he blurted out, he thought of the man with his arms spread out, standing in the sky like the sun.
Unconsciously, he added another sentence.
"It means original man, the most perfect life form."
After finishing speaking.
Helfas, who appeared in his soul body, stretched out his hand and touched Bass's eyebrows, and a bunch of secret information and words appeared in his mind.
And when he raised his head, Helfas had already led Zi Suifeng up to the sky. The wind was howling, and the black dragon was circling in the sky, welcoming their ancient king.
The black iron dragon bowed his head, and Helfas climbed onto the opponent's back.
"Buzz!"
"Meet me in Helfas City after you embark on the original journey."
"This is a reward for fulfilling your promise, but it is also a test."
"I hope you can use this power well and become the cornerstone of this civilization in the future."
And Bass finally understood the information in his mind and knew what information was injected into his mind.
There are mainly two pieces of information, one of which is about the ritual and related steps on how to put the strange seal into one's body. The other one is a very special book.
The name of the book is.
"Ten Paths of Life".
This book is still very rare at present. It is only stored in the Sealed Artifact Round Tower and has not been widely spread yet.
But for Bass, it was like a door had opened.
Let him know what the path is. The weirdness of this world is not chaotic, but has its own way back.
He began to know how to look for the weird things that allowed him to embark on the path to transcendence, just like those who wanted to become dragon professionals, knowing how to find the one that fit him among the endless weird things.
Bass stood under the sky and watched the dragons disappear into the sky.
"Helphas City?"
He suddenly felt great anticipation and wanted to see that legendary city.
From this moment on.
Another professional system has also begun to spread over a large area, and like dragon professionals, it has begun to integrate into civilization.
Helfas was somewhat looking forward to whether this system would push civilization to another peak like the dragon.
——
While sitting on the dragon's back, the child kept looking at Helfas's face.
Suddenly, she asked him with a sad expression that was not suitable for her age.
"Hey, did I forget a lot of things?"
Herfas: "Why do you think so?"
Child: "I feel like I've seen you many times, but I don't remember you."
Helfas: "If you want to know, I will tell you slowly. So, do you want to know your past, or start over?"
Zi did not answer but asked his name: "What is your name?"
