This … The subsidiary gods of the Second Epoch are truly filled with hidden talents. Previously, there was the Dragon of Wisdom, Herabergen, and later, there was the God of the Dead, Salinger. These were all important figures who eventually became Sequence 0 and ascended to the divine throne. Of course, I can't be certain about the Dragon of Wisdom, but it's quite possible …
Yes, there's also the God of Dawn, Badheil, and the Goddess of Harvest, Omebella. I can't rule out the possibility that "They" have lived to the Fifth Epoch and are living very well … I wonder if the God of Spiritual Creatures, Tolzna, and the Goddess of Misfortune, Amanises, escaped the deity war at the end of the Second Epoch when the City of Silver's Creator "retracted" their authority? If they escaped, what role did "They" play in the Third Epoch or even the Fourth Epoch? After a moment of shock, Klein sighed inwardly.
Thinking back to the betrayal of the Kings of Angels in the Third Epoch, he couldn't help but lampoon.
Fire, theft, and protection against subsidiary gods!
At that moment, Audrey, who didn't know much about the true names and authorities of the subsidiary gods, didn't show any emotions. She acted as one female elf after another in Siatas's memories and constantly chatted with her, allowing her to tell her everything she knew about the Second Epoch.
According to Siatas, in the annals of the elves, there was no concept of the First Epoch and Second Epoch. In the beginning, it was chaotic, dark, and crazy. There was a lack of written information. It was only when the supernatural races gradually gained a certain level of rationality and had their own written language that living beings began to have a certain level of understanding of history.
In that era, the ancient gods appeared one after another. The sky, land, sea, and underground slowly transitioned from absolute disorder to a certain level of order. However, other than the ancient gods who were tyrannical and crazy, no one knew how long this stage took. All they knew was that it was a very, very long time ago, and it was called the "Sprouting Era" by the various supernatural races.
After the "Sprouting Era," it was the "Glorious Era of Fire" where the eight ancient gods fought against each other. This was also a long time before Siatas's birth. She could only learn from her race's annals that it was a time when "pan-humans" fought against non-human races, resisting the corruption and erosion of devils and demonic wolves. Among them, humans were the vassals or even slaves of giants, elves, and Sanguine.
The duration of the "Glorious Era of Fire" varied from record to record, but the common point was that it was less than a thousand years. This was because the ancient gods were inherently crazy, tyrannical, cruel, and cold. They were often driven by their instincts.
After Blood Race Primogenitor Lilith, Mutant King Kvastiun, and Annihilation Demonic Wolf Flegrea fell in a betrayal, the Glorious Era of Fire came to an end. Wars broke out frequently, and the world suffered damage that didn't stop for centuries.
World of "Giants and" Dragons "with" Of Dragons. "
When the five races formed a new balance, the Northern Continent, Southern Continent, Eastern Continent, and Five Seas restored a certain degree of peace. Siatas was born and grew up in this era until she entered Ge Rosell's Travels.
In the history she described, there were two important points. First, the Eastern Continent did exist, and it was where the Giant King's Court was. Second, after the "Sprouting Era," the various Beyonder races actually had their own civilizations. They weren't as irrational as suspected by future generations. Of course, tyrannical, cruel, cold, and bloodthirsty tendencies were common. They seemed to be in a state of half-control. It was only after the "Twin Era" that the new generation of elves and giants became more rational and possessed emotions, just like Siatas and Ge Rosell.
The Eastern Continent seems to be the Forsaken Land of the Gods … It was abandoned during the Cataclysm? Similar thoughts surfaced in Klein, Leonard, and Audrey's minds.
They were very interested in this, but unfortunately, Siatas had always lived in the Elf King's Court. She would occasionally head out to cruise at sea, and she had never been to the Eastern Continent. She lacked sufficient understanding.
Influenced by Justice Audrey, Siatas's dream began to show the origins of the elves' living customs and language.
In the legends that the queen's maidservant had heard, the Elvish language was created by the king in the "Sprouting Era." Every word was accompanied by the birth of a first-generation elf, and the number of Elvish words corresponded to the number of first-generation elves.
And the living customs of the elves weren't very uniform. It was heavily dependent on the surrounding environment — the elves in the sea and the elves in the forest were undoubtedly very different in various customs.
What they had in common was that they believed in the king, who was an ancient god, and "His" queen; they liked to use the blood of prey to make food; they had a wide range of cooking techniques, and even the sea elves would often come to the reef for a bonfire party; they were close to nature and were good at using all kinds of spices; they revered the strong, and they were proud that their actions were faster than their thoughts …
Myths and reality are mixed together, making it difficult to tell which is real and which is fake … The living customs have destroyed some of my previous guesses … Klein listened with a seemingly unchanged expression as he quickly analyzed every word that Siatas said.
After figuring out the relevant matters, Audrey circled around the keyword "Western Continent" and changed Siatas's dream, reflecting some of the memories that existed in her subconscious.
The coral palace returned to Klein and company. Siatas followed behind Queen of Calamity Cohinem and walked to a crystal window.
She glanced at the Queen's intricate dress and stole a glance at the "god" who wielded the power of catastrophes.
She asked curiously, "Your Highness, are you looking west?"
To the elves, as long as they didn't feel the oppression of violence, they would ask any questions on the spot.
"Why do you think so?" Cohinem didn't turn her head as she asked with an indifferent expression.
"I just learned of a legend. Us elves originated from the Western Continent," Siatas replied. "Your Highness, does the Western Continent really exist? Is it really the birthplace of the first elves? "
The corners of Cohinem's mouth curled up slightly as she said with a slightly ethereal voice,
"The Western Continent might exist, but it might not exist either. Every race needs to give themselves an illustrious origin, a homeland of the soul.
"Siatas, where is the homeland in your heart?"
"My homeland?" Siatas repeated the question and answered blankly, "It's where the king and His Highness are. It's this palace that leads to the forest where my parents live …"
As she said this, Siatas's emotions gradually turned heavy, dejected, and melancholic.
Clearly, she had been influenced by the corresponding memories in her subconscious.
She had entered Travels and left her homeland for two to three thousand years.
"Therefore, to you, the Western Continent doesn't exist, but to some elves, it's absolutely real." Queen of Calamity Cohinem calmly gave the final answer.
Siatas didn't ask again because she suddenly remembered that the queen wasn't a first-generation elf.
Such an answer left Klein even more confused and puzzled. Thankfully, from the Second Epoch to the Fifth Epoch, the Western Continent didn't have any presence at all. It wouldn't involve any important secrets related to him. He only wanted to learn about it in passing and didn't have much expectations.
After ending the guidance of Siatas's subconscious, Audrey, Klein, and Leonard left and appeared in Mobet and Siatas's bedroom since it was almost noon and there weren't any other dreams that they could jump into.
Looking at the Fourth Era viscount who was tightly entangled by the elf and curled up in a corner of the asymmetrical bed, Audrey's expression suddenly softened. She said with a smile, "That's right.
With a smile, she said, "They don't seem too bad as they are now …"
"No, no, no. It's terrifying to have such a violent, direct, imaginative, and daring wife! Only someone like Mobet would like and enjoy it … "Leonard, who didn't have the talent of a poet but had the freedom of a poet, stuffed his hands into his pockets and shook his head seriously.
At this point, he muttered thoughtfully, "That's right.
Hmm … I wonder what the other members of Old Man's family like … Siatas, they don't need us to be envious or object to them. This is how they get along. Rosell The Great once wrote a poem: Life is precious, but love is even more valuable … "
As Klein listened to the duo's discussion, he opened his mouth and closed it again. He didn't mention that Siatas and Mobet were already dead. Only at the moment of their deaths did they truly feel each other's love. The ones living here were only replicas created by the World in the book …

After leaving the couple's house, the trio headed for Rosell's blacksmith shop.
On the way, when they passed by a street, Klein saw Frunziar, who was known as a philosopher. Audrey also recognized him at a glance as someone from Rouen.
"Is that the soldier from more than a hundred years ago?" Audrey slowed down and asked.
Klein recalled Frunziar's longing for his hometown and the ashes he had placed in Baekeland Cemetery. After two seconds of silence, he nodded gently.
"Yes."
Mr. World is feeling a little wistful … He's like a calm river on the surface, but there are many turbulent currents and whirlpools beneath … Audrey nodded indiscernibly.
"Can I enter his dream? I wish to obtain the potion formulas for Judge and Disciplinary Paladin. "
"No problem," Klein replied as he glanced at Leonard.
Leonard still had his hands in his pockets, but his eyes instantly turned deep.
Frunziar, who was sitting on a bench, fell into a deep sleep.
Right on the heels of that, the trio appeared in his dream.
This was a bustling city with many wooden houses. The pedestrians that came and went were mostly from Rouen.
The black-haired, blue-eyed Frunziar stood outside a house, not daring to approach it. Only when a woman in an old dress came out did he rush forward in excitement, spread out his arms, and attempted to hug her.
His hug passed through the woman, and the two of them didn't interact at all.
Frunziar froze on the spot as he shouted in a daze.
"Mommy …"
Audrey, who had wanted to directly guide the dream, silently watched this scene. Then, she sized up her surroundings and discovered the iconic clock.
"Baekeland …" Audrey pursed her lips, turned her head, and looked at Klein with a converged gaze. "Are they unable to leave the World in the book?"
"Too much time has passed. If they were to leave, they would directly age, die, or even be eroded by the elements." Klein's tone was like a calm surging river. "I've sent an item from Frunziar back to Baekeland."
This … As a Spectator, Audrey acutely sensed the cruel reality hidden behind those words. She couldn't help but raise her head and look out of the dream, towards where Mobet and Siatas were.
Leonard originally wanted to ask what it was, but after looking around, he maintained his silence.
Following that, Audrey seriously guided the dream. After obtaining two potion formulas, she allowed Frunziar to return home and live happily with his parents, siblings, and sisters.
This was a beautiful dream.
After leaving Frunziar's location, Klein, Leonard, and Audrey quickly saw Rosell's home.
This was the last stop of their exploration. After obtaining the information from the giant Rosell's subconscious, they would enter the World in the book's sea of collective subconscious to seek the secrets behind the book's existence.
