The shadow standing under the pillar watched Helfas leave, passed through the light of the pillar, jumped out of the door and disappeared.
And she returned to the shadow under the pillar without being seen. Even the twisted shadow of the giant snake calmed down little by little, lying motionless in the darkness.
After everything is over.
Anissa raised her head and looked at the towering pillar.
Once upon a time Helfas was on that pillar.
It's just that it's not a living figure, but a relief carving on the pillar, and the carving is just a back figure.
Anissa looked at the pillar and recalled its former appearance, before its power was activated and when Helfas had not yet emerged from the pillar.
"The Kingdom of Creation God."
"The Pillar of Miracles that descended from the Pyramid Temple to Earth."
"Also, there are traces inscribed by the Lord God-King who inherited the wisdom of the Creator."
Anissa thought of the rumors she had heard about the Kingdom of Creation and the pyramid temple. Legend has it that the temple was built according to the idea of the God King of Wisdom, Lederiki, and was established at the beginning of the First Era. That's when it all begins.
It was the first building in the world, and there were many magical scenes in the building, like a fantasy in a dream.
But no one knows why the King of Wisdom knew how to build such a building, why he left such strange carvings on the pyramid temple, and what do those carvings represent?
If we use ordinary methods to explain it, it is innate wisdom. The power of the God King is naturally beyond the reach of common sense.
But Anisa has heard another theory.
When the King of Wisdom Lederiki inherited the wisdom, he also saw some strange pictures in the wisdom of the Creator. The pyramid was built according to the wisdom inherited from the Creator, and He left a mark on the pyramid temple. The things below are all contained in the wisdom of the Creator.
Everything in these pictures contains the greatest secret of the Creator.
And this pillar is the pyramid temple from the Kingdom of Creator God.
In Anisa's opinion.
The figure engraved on the pillar is naturally also a figure existing in the wisdom of the Creator.
When she found this pillar, she had carefully looked at the relief of the god's back, and even imagined whose back it was and what it would look like when it turned around.
However, this seems to be a mystery that can never be solved. How can she know the will of the Creator? Even if the other person tells her personally, she will probably not understand.
It's as if the Creator even told the name of the God of Wisdom himself.
at last.
All that can be left is the word "Yin Sai".
But no one thought that one day the silhouette would come to life and walk from the pillar to the world.
"A being who exists only in the wisdom of the Creator comes alive."
"If everything originates from the Creator, and all stories begin with the three masters, then where did the Creator come from, and why did he inscribe these life and strange scenes in the ancient times when life and wisdom were just born?"
"Is it something older and unknown?"
"Or is it an existence beyond time and the sea of stars?"
Anissa walked around the pillar, as if she were walking on a road with no end and no way out. She was alone in the lonely world, muttering to herself.
"If the fate of everything has already been determined in the mind of the Creator, then what does the appearance of this existence lost beyond time and the sea of stars mean?"
——
Helfas turned the black pen unconsciously in his hand and stood in front of the huge thing that others told him was a tower. He didn't know what it was until he knew what it was. His eyes revealed deep thoughts and shock.
He was currently in a sea of clouds.
It was like a land of white clouds beneath his feet. With the clouds and mist surrounding him, he couldn't even see what the building was.
He could only see the endless high walls covering the sea of clouds on the left and right, with the starry sky and the sun above them. From this angle, it seemed as if they were extending into the universe.
Helfas had once come to the table at the top of the tower through the consciousness of the ritual circle, as if he was peering into other people's meeting venues through a small hole outside the wall, but he had never seen anything like this.
What does the tower look like, and what are the other places like?
And now, he is here in person.
Penetrate the clouds and fog.
A door large enough to allow thousands of people to enter and exit was open. Even if there was just a gap, it was as wide as a broad avenue.
But at this moment, there is a layer of barrier outside the door, covering it like a crystal, making Helfas unable to enter.
Helfas unfolded a leather scroll along the black pen, which was given to him by Anissa, saying that he could only enter the Tower of Babel with this item.
I don’t know what the leather scroll is made of, but it has the mark of a snake on the back.
He was about to start taking action with the leather scroll, when suddenly his soul began to squirm like smoke.
Immediately afterwards.
His eyes went blank.
He stood blankly under the tower and above the sea of clouds, as if he were a phantom that did not exist at all, and was about to disappear into the clouds and mist as soon as they were blown by the wind.
After a while, Helfas finally came back to his senses.
"here we go again."
Helfas became even more anxious. He began to worry that he didn't have enough time. Before he even found the tree, he exhausted his spiritual energy and turned into an existence like a phantom in the world.
But at this time, a line of words appeared on the leather scroll in his hand.
"Enter that tower, which has been transformed into the realm of the Kingdom of Babel, where your spiritual consumption problem can be alleviated."
Helfas looked at the line of words and his expression changed slightly.
"Anissa?"
He did not expect that this so-called "certificate" was not just a voucher, but was actually connected to Anissa's consciousness, regardless of space and distance.
He previously thought that only he could do such magical things through the Kingdom of Gods, but he did not expect that the other party could also do it. It seemed that this was just a routine method for those beings with the power of gods.
And by holding this leather scroll, in a sense, you are letting the other party monitor you, and even control yourself through the leather scroll.
But now he still has to rely on the other party, so he can only go forward with the leather scroll.
Helfas took the voucher Anissa gave him and walked towards the gap opened by the door, and then squeezed in through the barrier, but when he passed through the barrier, there seemed to be a force sweeping through it.
Looking at him and the leather roll in his hand, he also heard a voice.
"The Snake Witch."
"Anisa!"
That was the same power Helfas used to transmit a voice into Helfas' mind through the transmission of spiritual consciousness.
Helfas was a little excited. For the first time, he felt a being other than himself using this power.
At the same time, Helfas also learned another name for Anissa.
"Snake Witch?"
He is indeed very eager to know the origin and identity of the other party, even if it is just a name.
He kept this title in his heart.
No matter which one of the two words is snake or witch, there must be some kind of secret about the other party. The other party is using him, but he is also constantly learning about the other party in the process.
As if struggling out of clay, he finally reached the interior of the Tower of Babel.
Although it only penetrated a layer of barrier, Helfas felt as if he had entered another world.
It's like a kingdom of gods.
He immediately felt that the speed of his spiritual loss had almost stopped.
In the kingdom of gods, he could feel the passage of spirituality, but here it seemed that there was no such feeling at all.
"Is this the kingdom of wisdom?"
Helfas felt very surprised. When he was outside, his soul always felt a strong sense of crisis and burning, but here, he was like a fish swimming into the sea.
You no longer need to be scorched to death by the sun or worry about being unable to breathe on the shore.
A soul traveling through the kingdom of wisdom seems to complement each other so well, as if it should exist in this kind of place.
"This is not an ordinary Kingdom of Wisdom. This tower is made of countless props left over from the Wisdom Era, millions of cities, and endless blood of the God of Wisdom. Finally, over tens of millions of years, it became an infinitely close thing.
A mythical creature at the level of a true god; a soul like yours planted here will receive the nourishment of his power and gain protection." The leather scroll explained Helfas's situation.
"Myth? What is the True God?" Helfas kept hearing the term "Myth" from Anissa's mouth. It seemed to be another name she used for the existence of the divine level, but now he heard the term "True God" again.
Different words, he thought this was probably a level beyond ordinary gods.
"Do you want it?" The scroll did not answer what the true God is, but instead changed the topic to another side.
"I don't dare think about it," said Herfas.
"It's useless to think about it. The Tower of Babel is the plaything of the owner of this back garden, and no one can take it away." Through the words, Helfas seemed to see a scornful and arrogant face.
"How can anyone move such a big tower here?" Helfas said.
"Perhaps only a tower of this size can be seen and then taken away." There was a sentence of unknown meaning on the leather scroll.
Without a sense of urgency, Helfas finally began to take a look at the situation inside the Tower of Babel.
behind the door.
It is a ruin that seems to be frozen in time.
Helfas saw the light behind him shining through the cracks in the door, and the light and shadow fell on the scattered architectural ruins very clearly.
In front of us are dense traces of collapsed stone buildings, only half of the altar remains of ancient statues, tall stone pillars are tilted this way and that, and a long and wide bridge that cannot be built by manpower is broken into a triangle.
What fell into the eyes of Helfas was a tomb of civilization.
Helfas opened his mouth unconsciously, and his expression became extremely solemn. He wanted to say something, but there seemed to be something stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit it out.
Everything here seems extremely heavy.
It's so heavy that one can't breathe.
It brings people not only a sense of precipitation and reincarnation over time, but also decay and decline.
It is shouting to Helfas with silence and stillness, life will die, civilization will end, era will end, and everything is heading towards reincarnation and death.
Helfas walked forward and walked through the ruins.
In light and shadow.
He saw ancient writings among the ruins, and he saw ancient myths and legends carved on the walls, depicting gods he had never heard of, and telling stories of heroes and epics from another ethnic group.
This place seems to be pieced together from the ruins of many cities. They once had different beliefs and worshiped different great beings.
Each of them has its own legend and history, and its own glory and glory.
He passed an ancient temple.
Standing in front of the statue that collapsed into pieces, leaving only a base and lower body.
Helfas said with a very touched expression.
"Before, when I heard you say that you removed everything from the previous era and put it into this tower, I felt as if you were putting something into another place."
"In fact, you have built a mausoleum of civilization and era."
At this time, Anissa said to Helfas.
"These are the relics of a previous era."
"Maybe in the future, the civilization and belief you created will one day look like this, and be collected and cast into a unique mausoleum."
"Everything you care about now will disappear and have no meaning."
Herfas: "At least for me now, this is what I mean."
Anissa: "You really look like a mortal!"
Helfas: "Because I am a mortal now."
Anissa: "You will eventually change."
Helfas nodded, then shook his head: "But some things never change."
At this point, Herfas changed his words.
"but!"
"How could things here be preserved for so long?"
"Even a brick here should be tens of millions of years old!"
"Logically speaking, there should be nothing left of these things by now, at least they shouldn't be like this now."
Helfas stepped forward. He seemed to want to touch the broken and collapsed statue, but the moment he stretched out his hand, he suddenly remembered that he was now a soul body.
But something shocking happened. Helfas found that he had actually touched it, and even felt a real touch.
"How can this be?"
Soon, Helfas discovered the reason.
Because there is a magical power surging here, and that power invades every bit of it, every wall, every brick, even every grain of sand, and smelts them into a part of itself.
He had felt a strange down-to-earth feeling when walking in the tower before, and now he also found that he had a strange sense of touch.
Even when he got close to those objects, he could vaguely smell them.
This is something only a body can do.
"This is the Kingdom of God?"
"The power of a wise god?"
He even felt that if he lived here as a soul, would he not need a body and even gain true immortality?
Helfas was very shocked, but Anissa only responded with one sentence.
"Didn't I say that before?"
But soon, Helfas also discovered a drawback.
Here, his soul cannot penetrate the high walls that reach the top, because these objects are real to him, and he can only find the right path.
Next.
He passed through several cities and small towns one after another.
After climbing over several high walls, there were countless hills-like ruins.
but.
But he never saw the entrance leading to the upper level that Anissa told him about.
The first level of the tower is incredibly large, and the ruins seem to go on forever.
Helfas finally couldn't help but asked: "By the way, how many floors is that tree on?"
He stared at the scroll and saw Anisa's response: "The tree is on the thousandth floor, in the middle of the tower."
Helfas felt something was wrong: "One thousand floors, how long does it take to walk?"
Pijuan responded calmly: "The last people of the previous era used ethnic groups as a unit to migrate to the upper class for generations. It is said that some took a thousand or even thousands of years for their descendants to gradually reach the upper class.
"
Helfas: "You mean, it will take me a thousand or hundreds of years to go up there?"
Anissa: "Of course you don't need that long. You won't be hungry here, you don't need to eat, you don't need a place to live and reproduce, and you won't be burdened by your companions and tribesmen. You can walk without sleep, and you can stay for a short time."
The ground floats much faster than them."
Helfas listened to Anisa praising his merits, but deep down he felt it was more like mockery.
He asked: "Do you yourself walk up like this?"
Anissa: "We have our own way to go directly to the top floor, but you can't use it, after all, you don't have a seat at that table."
Helfas's face looked a little ugly. He didn't know if this was a trap set by Anissa for him or if she was playing a trick on him.
Anissa felt Helfas's anger, but she didn't seem to care too much.
"Angry?"
"Do you think this lonely journey is unbearable?"
"Don't worry, there are still more lonely and long roads waiting for you. Measured in units of ten thousand years, in units of millions, tens of millions of years are not the end."
"This section of the road."
The text on the leather scroll extends here, and there is a slight pause.
Helfas seemed to be able to see the face behind the scroll slightly raising the corners of his mouth, looking at him coldly with those snake-like eyes and saying the last words.
"It's not even practice."
Helfas did not rebuke angrily like a child, nor did he regret his choice bitterly. After thinking for a while, Helfas started to move forward.
Although he had only known Anissa for a short time, he realized that she was a very purposeful person, and she would never throw herself here for fun for nothing.
She is very arrogant, even too arrogant to deceive herself or lie to herself.
When she didn't want to talk about it, she just showed her "I don't want to tell you" look.
certainly.
It is also possible that she is just too weak and ignorant at the moment, and she is too lazy to deceive herself.
Lies are used against people who are threatening.
Helfas then walked forward: "So, from the last era to now, I am the only person who has really passed by here?"
Anissa: "Fifty million years ago, an angel came down from high places, and no one has come here since."
Helfas: "Angels, do they have wings?"
Anissa: "You also know about angels?"
Herfas: "It feels impressive."
Anissa: "I'm curious as to why you have such an impression."
Endless ruins, numerous high walls, and towers with no end in sight.
Helfas moved forward alone.
Fifty million years ago.
An angel led a girl from the top to the bottom. She was the last group of retrogrades from the previous era.
And fifty million years later.
A lost soul once again opened the door here and moved from the bottom of the Tower of Babel to the top.
