The open grayish-blue door, the stone staircase that led all the way down, the sea that suffused with golden light, and the omnipresent light once again reflected in the eyes of Liaval, Candice, and the other residents of the City of Silver.
As members of the previous exploration team, this was not the first time they had seen this scene, but they were still deeply shocked to their souls and subconsciously held their breaths.
Carrying the Thunder God's Roar hammer, Derrick stood right in front. He was two meters tall and had broad shoulders. He remained silent.
After nearly a minute, Liaval probed,
"Elder Borg, when are we going out?"
He was a Sequence 5 Guardian. He was nearly 2.5 meters tall, and the ratio of his limbs was slightly abnormal.
Derrick stared at the rippling golden sea for a few seconds before saying, "That's right.
"Let's wait a little longer."
At this moment, several days had passed since he opened the door. He had led the exploration team back to the City of Silver with the Chief and Elder Lovia's ashes, characteristics, and Sealed Artifacts. He had also used that secret to obtain the trust of the current Chief of the six-member council, Waite Chirmont.
This time, Derrick would lead twenty City of Silver Beyonders as scouts to find a safe passage and confirm the situation outside.
On this matter, he rejected Mr. World's suggestion to use the Staff of the Stars to directly move the entire City of Silver out of the Forsaken Land of the Gods. He wanted to use his own feet to measure the path of hope. He wanted to remember what the City of Silver had found after more than two thousand years of persistence and sacrifice was like.
Upon hearing Elder Derrick's answer, Liaval, Candice, and the other members of the scouting team didn't say anything else. They each took a step back and continued to admire the beautiful scenery.
They still didn't trust Derrick Berg. After all, he had close ties with outsiders, and the Chief and Elder Lovia had died in the previous exploration. Only this Unshadowed and the outsider had survived. If the six-member council hadn't chosen to trust Derrick, they would've been more hostile and conflicted than wary.
After an unknown period of time, the golden sea was suddenly shrouded in darkness.
In the depths of the darkness, one could vaguely see a faint mist. In the mist, there was a black church with a pointed roof and all kinds of buildings, giving off a feeling that it was both real and illusory.
Derrick and the others were no strangers to the darkness. They instinctively lit up the candles and lit the oil candles. They were busy but orderly.
When the team of 21 people was protected by the light, they looked at the town and the shadowy pedestrians in confusion, unable to understand what was going on.
This was not the darkness they were familiar with.
At this moment, Derrick, whose body was naturally emitting pure radiance, raised his left hand and said in a deep voice, "I'm not sure if you'll be able to find me.
"Let's go."
Without waiting for his teammates to respond, he took the lead and walked through the door. He followed the stone stairs outside and walked into the darkness.
Liaval, Candice, and the others looked at each other and gritted their teeth. Without falling behind, they followed the new Elder of the six-member council, Derrick Berg, out of the Giant King's residence.
In the thick darkness, they walked up the stairs. Suddenly, their eyes lit up. They saw an orange light and a black monastic building.
"Is this the outside world?" Candice looked around warily and curiously. She realized that she and the others had unknowingly walked to the opposite side of the Giant King's Court. They were separated from their original location by a sea of orange-red clouds.
"No." Derrick compared the current environment with Mr. World's and Ma 'am Hermit's descriptions and nodded slightly. "We still need to wait here for a while. You can find a place to rest."
This Unshadowed, who no longer had the slightest hint of inexperience, calmly arranged everything.
Liaval looked at the tightly shut black monastery and asked in puzzlement, "Don't we need to explore this place to find the exit?"
"There's no need." Derrick shook his head.
"No need." Derrick shook his head.
As time passed, blinding rays of sunlight suddenly shone into the World, turning everything bright white before fading and disappearing.
Derrick, Candice, and the others subconsciously looked around and saw the golden sea again. They felt a terrifying aura that they didn't dare look at directly.
Derrick, Candice, and the others subconsciously looked around, and saw the golden ocean again. They felt a terrifying aura that they didn't dare to look at directly.
However, unlike before, they were already on an island. Behind them were clusters of huge, golden, strange plants with smiling faces. The state that didn't have any sense of depravity or abnormality made every member of the City of Silver's expedition team sincerely experience the joy of life.
He really came out … It's really a different World … Liaval, Candice, and the others couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
They immediately confirmed a fact.
Elder Derrick didn't betray the City of Silver. His cooperation with the foreigner was really to lead everyone away from the cursed land.
"Elder Berg …" Candice hesitated for a moment before saying, "Thank you."
Derrick nodded slightly and straightened his back.
Liaval didn't express his apologies like Candice did. He looked around and asked, "What's wrong?
"Elder Borg, how do we leave this place? Build ships? "
"Build ships" was a word that only existed in their history books. At that moment, it sounded especially awkward.
"There doesn't seem to be any shipbuilding materials here …" Candice and the others immediately examined the small island, but they didn't find any trees or other plants.
Derrick shook his head again.
"There's no need. Let's wait a little longer …"
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw a black shadow appear at the border between the sea and the sky.
The black shadow grew larger and larger, quickly approaching along the safe sea route between the golden spots of light.
Not long after, the black shadow revealed its silhouette. It was a hybrid ship that spewed out smoke and had a sail. On the ship was a blue sea serpent flag.
"Ship?"
"That's a ship?"
…
As Liaval, Candice, and the others were on guard, they asked questions.
Derrick was an experienced person who had received general knowledge on the Tarot and had seen all kinds of pictures of ships.
He nodded slightly and said, "Yes."
As they spoke, the ship approached, making the figure standing at the bow gradually become clearer.
It was a man with yellow eyebrows and dark blue eyes. He was wearing a black cloak. He jumped onto the dragon's head and opened his arms slightly at the City of Silver.
Upon seeing this scene, Derrick, who had been maintaining his solemn posture, secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that everything had gone according to plan.
Dhaniz originally wanted to jump off the ship and walk in front of Mr. Fool's believers to announce to them that they had been saved. However, after glancing at the height of the City of Silver people, he silently stabilized his body.
He stood on the dragon's head and completely opened his arms. He smiled reservedly at Derrick and the others.
"Welcome to the World of Light promised by God!"
…
Above the gray fog, in the ancient palace.
Klein sat on the high-back chair belonging to The Fool. Through the crimson star that symbolized The Sun, he watched the entire experience of the City of Silver's reconnaissance team. He was constantly prepared to take action to deal with any accidents.
After the "history" that had been sealed for thousands of years intersected with the current "era," Klein boarded a ship from the Rorsted Archipelago's new government and left the most dangerous core waters of the ruins of the battle of the gods. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. He put down the Staff of the Stars in his hand and beckoned for two items.
They were the Miracle Invoker Beyonder characteristic that had seeped out of the "curtain," and the Worm of Star that came from the Saint of Secrets, Boutis.
After some thought, Klein reached out his left hand and grabbed a large blob of dark red liquid from the Historical Void.
This was Dark Demonic Wolf Kotar's blood. There was a total of 300 milliliters, and it was the main supplementary ingredient of the Miracle Invoker potion.
Of course, as a supplementary ingredient, it only had one use. It was to reduce the negative effects brought about by the Beyonder characteristic and buffer the corresponding mysticism effects. Therefore, it didn't matter if it was a historical projection. After all, as long as it could play its role during the concoction and consumption of the potion, it was enough. When the Historical Void projection reached its limit, Klein would either fail his advancement and collapse into a monster, or he would have become a Miracle Invoker and gain initial control over the Beyonder characteristic. He no longer needed any support.
Right on the heels of that, Klein took out another item from the fog of history.
It was a Worm of Time with many segments.
As he had a strong psychological trauma towards Amon, Klein chose to summon the Worm of Time that Pallez Zoroast had once given him to prevent any accidents from happening.
After preparing the ingredients, he conjured an iron pot and threw the 300 milliliters of Dark Demonic Wolf's blood into it. Then, he placed the Worm of Time and the shimmering Worm of Star into it.
The dark red liquid in the iron pot turned dark. Its surface was transparent, and a vortex surged in its depths.
Without any hesitation, Klein picked up the Miracle Invoker Beyonder characteristic.
It looked like a heart, transparent like a crystal, but from time to time, tiny bubbles would emerge. Every bubble seemed to hide an illusion.
When the Beyonder characteristic came into contact with the liquid in the iron pot, it immediately fused with it, causing the darkness to instantly condense and turn deep. It was as though there were endless eyes opening at the same time.
After staring at it for a few seconds, Klein poured the Miracle Invoker potion he had concocted into a glass bottle. Through a bestowment ritual, he brought it to the real World.
On an uninhabited island in the Sonia Sea, Klein, who had directly "Teleported" over, looked at the potion in his hand and suddenly felt a little hesitant. This was because once he became an angel, he would inevitably be affected by the Beyonder characteristic. He would become colder and crueler, and he would become more and more indifferent to life. He needed to have enough anchors to maintain his humanity.
This wasn't something that could be avoided by completely digesting the potion and grasping the "acting method" in the previous stages. Back then, Rosell The Great had gone smoothly in the earlier stages, but he had nearly mutated at the level of a Sequence 2 angel and was close to losing control.
As for the angels that Klein knew, they looked normal on the surface, but he had no idea what "They" actually looked like or what "They" were like when they were hiding behind the scenes.
If one could obtain a long lifespan at Sequence 4 or 3, allowing them to live for more than a thousand years, then a saint wouldn't have much motivation to advance to an angel.
Combined with the saying that the higher one's Sequence was, the closer they were to the Primordial One, Klein suddenly understood why Demoness of White Katarina had only advanced from Sequence 4 to Sequence 3 after more than a thousand years.
But I already have no way out … After a brief silence, Klein sighed silently.
With Amon and Zaratul right in front of him, the impending apocalypse, and the fact that he was powerless to interfere with the war and could only contribute his strength through donations, they were all pushing him towards the level of an angel.
His eyes flickered for a few seconds before he quickly calmed down. Klein picked up the potion bottle and poured the liquid inside into his mouth.
