Through the Eyes of Mystery Prying, Bernadette saw that the interior of the dark-red shrine was empty. There was nothing, only the shadowy curtain that usually enveloped reality.
She was unable to divine anything from it, so she had no choice but to retract her gaze and follow her intuition. She made the Invisible Servant walk to the other end of the open area. It was also a primitive forest with towering trees.
At the same time, as the Invisible Servant couldn't go too far away from her, she quietly followed behind while wearing the Invisibility Hat. She unhurriedly passed through the area where all the creatures on the island were gathered.
Here, the sky always seemed a little gloomy, filled with a faint black color.
As time passed by quickly, the Invisible Servant entered the forest where the branches blocked out the sky. His vision suddenly turned dark.
Right on the heels of that, the pair of nearly transparent, cold, and undetectable Eyes of Mystery Prying saw through the dark environment. She noticed that there were pale corpses placed between the trees, and there were skulls, rotting corpses, and other things hanging from the branches.
Some of them were dragons, some were bird-like creatures, some had eight legs, and some were strange trees that completely filled the gaps in the forest.
At a glance, Bernadette felt as though she had arrived at a cemetery, and a scene naturally surfaced in her mind.
Before those Beyonder creatures died, they gave birth to their descendants, passing down their Beyonder characteristics to them. As for themselves, they struggled and came to this area of the primitive forest from all directions, searching for an unoccupied spot. They faced a certain direction and died quietly, gradually rotting and turning into bones.
What's the point of this place to them? As a Clairvoyant, Bernadette fully believed that the scenes in her mind were real. However, she was puzzled as to what power made the creatures on this primitive island choose this place as their cemetery.
Furthermore, the long-dead Grimm, William, Porley, and company seemed to still be alive in a certain state. It didn't make sense for the Beyonder and mutated creatures who had been staying on this island all this time to suffer even more corruption to completely die.
This made Bernadette frown slightly. She drove the Invisible Servant to continue forward, heading deeper into the Creature Cemetery.
Just like that, the Invisible Servant advanced for nearly fifteen minutes in this forest filled with bones and rotting corpses.
Finally, it saw a fourth thing besides the trees, weeds, and corpses.
It was a black stone pillar. It was as thick as five or six people holding hands around it, and it was thirty to forty meters tall. There were circular traces of weathering on its surface, as if it was wearing one ring after another that did not fit.
Bernadette made the Eyes of Mystery Prying stare at the stone pillar for a few seconds, but she didn't discover anything mysterious about it. It was as though it was a symbol that had been casually erected.
The Invisible Servant looked around and discovered that the corpses around the stone pillar hadn't rotted too badly. They were still covered in relatively intact flesh and skin.
Beyonder powers that don't exist, strange effects that are different from other places … Unless the newly deceased are passively gathered near the stone pillar, it's impossible for them to have such a unified trend … Bernadette suspected that it wasn't that there was no mystery here, but that it could only appear at a specific moment.
She didn't use her Prophecy powers to search for the truth, because the essence of a Prophecy was to pry into the River of Fate. The more serious the problem involved, the higher one's level and level, the greater the backlash on her. And in this inexplicable situation, Bernadette couldn't help but be cautious. She was afraid that it would be related to an unknown and terrifying existence.
In addition, this didn't cause any harm to her, so there was no need for her to take the risk to make a Prophecy.
After the Invisible Servant searched for a while and didn't find any clues, it continued forward, attempting to pass through the cemetery and head to another area of the primitive forest.
At that moment, Bernadette heard rustling.
It was the sound of a breeze passing through the leaves, a tide that stirred up in the void.
This was the first time Bernadette felt the wind since she had landed on this strange island.
Subconsciously, she made the Invisible Servant turn its head and look at the black stone pillar.
In the Eye of Mystery Prying, the rotten parts of the corpses around the stone pillar fell off piece by piece. New flesh and blood grew out as though they had a mind of their own. Inch by inch, the skin gradually covered this horrifying scene.
This change only lasted for less than ten seconds before it stopped. A small number of corpses no longer showed any signs of decay. They looked like they had just died.
In the next second, a mutated curly-haired baboon and an eight-legged demonic wolf staggered to their feet.
Their fur was slightly white, and their skin was slightly shriveled. Their eyes were blank and cold.
Then, the two creatures that were supposed to be dead found their own directions and left the graveyard from different directions.
Bernadette's eyes froze as her brows pricked up slightly. She finally understood why the creatures on this island had struggled to come to this area before they died. Why did they have to die here?
Here, the end point of death wasn't connected to eternal slumber, but to a new beginning!
Furthermore, this wasn't the kind of "resurrection" that a Spirit Guide could summon from zombies and skeletons. It was a "new life" with a certain level of will and vitality.
The underlying rules of the World are distorted and chaotic here? In addition, there seems to be a hint of the mystery of the Black Emperor's resurrection … However, the conditions of the dead who have obtained new life aren't right. They're closer to zombies … There's a huge problem with such a resurrection … Above the gray fog, Klein also saw this scene and had many guesses.
Of course, this was all based on the premise that the Emperor had indeed left the last mausoleum here and exerted some sort of influence.
On second thought, Klein rejected this idea.
This was because before the Emperor became an angel, a similar situation existed on this primitive island. The long-dead Grimm was proof!
Yes, the exact details back then might not be like this. Perhaps, compared to back then, there's already some distortion and chaos … Klein nodded gently, prepared to protect Bernadette at any time.
Bernadette also made a guess. She didn't let the Invisible Servant stay where it was and wait for the next Tide of Rebirth.
This was because she had prophesied a development:
After the Invisible Servant was affected by the Tide of Rebirth multiple times, it had strangely developed a certain will and "came to life!"
In addition, it wasn't that the Invisible Servant hadn't done any investigations before, but it had failed to discover anything special about the black stone pillar. Bernadette didn't believe that it would gain any additional benefits if it continued to stay.
Under such circumstances, compared to the possibility of alarming an unknown existence for in-depth research, it was better to grasp the general situation of this primitive island as much as possible and build a comprehensive understanding.
Many a time, the answer to a problem that couldn't be figured out in the earlier stages might lie in the later stages.
This was the experience that Bernadette had accumulated over the years.
As the Invisible Servant advanced, the corpses on the giant trees and branches gradually decreased in number. During this process, Bernadette discovered another phenomenon:
In the Tide of Rebirth, it wasn't certain that there would be corpses that would be resurrected. However, once there was a resurrection, there would be an empty area. In the next five minutes, the other corpses would stiffly move towards the central area like metal being attracted by a magnet. They would fill the corresponding spots one after another, as though they were queuing up for a blessing.
The law of Beyonder characteristics convergence? No, it doesn't seem like it. The dead here have already passed down their characteristics … As Bernadette's thoughts wandered, she suddenly thought of a question:
It's impossible for the dead to regrow their Beyonder characteristics after receiving new life. Then, do they still have the abilities they had when they were alive?
When I have a more complete grasp of the island's situation, I can find a Resurrected One to test it out … Bernadette quickly made a decision and followed the path that the Invisible Servant had explored as she proceeded forward.
She didn't use any Beyonder powers other than the Invisibility Hat. She wanted to not disturb the environment or miss out on any details. Therefore, she didn't walk very fast. It took her about fifteen minutes to leave the cemetery.
At this moment, the Invisible Servant had already entered the forest ahead. He heard the occasional bird chirps and beast roars, and he sensed the vibrant vitality that was different from the other areas.
Above the gray fog, Klein sighed.
Thankfully, I'm now the owner of Sefirah Castle. With the status of a King of Angels here, I can observe reality for as long as I want. I don't have to worry about exhausting my spirituality. Yes, the only thing I need to pay attention to is the body hidden in the ancient city from before the First Epoch.
After proceeding for a few more minutes, the Invisible Servant suddenly saw something that didn't match the primitive island's environment.
It was a wooden hut that looked like the wooden hut of a forest ranger.
The wooden hut was brownish-green in color, and it wasn't more than 2.5 meters tall. It looked like it was prepared for humans, but every detail exuded roughness and simplicity.
At that moment, the wooden hut's door was open, allowing Bernadette to see a portion of the situation inside through the Eyes of Mystery Prying.
A log-colored table, a fur-covered bed, and a low-back round chair formed a scene of humans living here.
Who lives here? With a thought, the Invisible Servant quickly approached the wooden hut in search of possible clues.
It then discovered that the wooden hut was cold. Apart from the furniture, there was nothing else. It was as though no one had lived here for a long time.
Just as Bernadette used the Eyes of Mystery Prying to carefully inspect every detail in the wooden hut, she suddenly had a premonition. She hurriedly made the Invisible Servant turn around.
At some point in time, there was an additional person behind the Invisible Servant!
He wore luxurious clothes from the Rosell period. His hair was completely white, and he looked old. He had a pair of light blue eyes that were extremely cold and blank.
Edwards.
This was the knight who had lived for a period of time after the Emperor perished, Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina's ancestor.
Edwards stared at the Invisible Servant for a few seconds before suddenly opening his mouth and saying in a deep voice,
"Your Highness."
