Bradlor thought about it carefully, and a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead. Finally, he raised his head, and hesitantly said, "We can't be sure when this prophecy was passed down. However, according to what I know, it should have been after we officially established the nation, and after we survived a huge crisis brought about by the Ocean Dynasty, there was such a prophecy. Yes, according to the Sea Clan, it should be the period when the Ocean Dynasty was inexplicably destroyed, and the Ocean War began. "
As Bradlor spoke, he walked around in front of a row of bookshelves, and finally stopped in the area that marked a period. The label in that area stated that it was from a certain year to a certain year. If compared to the Ocean Era, it would be the period before the Ocean War began.
Lin Li also walked to Bradlor's side, and looked at the label on the bookshelf. He had already found out the origin of the Great Demon God Mosali from Connoris, and also found out the approximate period when the Immortal King broke into the 99th floor of the abyss and severely injured Mosali. Hence, he compared what he knew with the label on the bookshelf, and found that there seemed to be a certain overlap between the two.
"Okay, let's start from here," Lin Li said as he waved his hand, and the notes on the bookshelf immediately flew down one by one. Every piece of information that flew to him was flipped quickly like the wind blowing through the pages of a book. It took him almost a few seconds to finish flipping through a piece of information.
If it were anyone else, they might not be able to see anything at all, but Lin Li had a massive mental strength that was far beyond that of others. When he flipped through these materials, he did not just use his eyes to read them. Instead, with the help of his mental strength, the speed at which he flipped through the materials increased exponentially.
Pieces of information flew down and landed in front of Lin Li, only to be thrown to the side at a very fast speed. It was as if there was no gap between them at all. Bradlor stood there dumbfoundedly, watching Lin Li's incredible way of flipping through the information. He couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. Can I really find the information I need this way?
All of a sudden, a piece of information stopped in front of Lin Li, and the speed at which he was flipping through it was obviously slower than before. Seeing this situation, Bradlor immediately felt hopeful, and he hurriedly leaned forward to ask carefully, "President Felic, how is it? Did you find anything useful?"
However, Lin Li ignored Bradlor's question, and instead focused on the information in front of him. The information recorded was precisely about the war between the Gilded Kingdom and the Ocean Dynasty. At that time, although the Gilded Kingdom had already accumulated considerable strength, it was still like a child facing a giant when facing the Ocean Dynasty that had ruled the Endless Ocean for countless years.
In that war, the fleet of the Gilded Kingdom was simply vulnerable, and the islands that they occupied were destroyed one by one. Countless civilians became slaves of the Sea Clan during that war. In the end, the Gilded Kingdom's territory was only left with Four Seasons Island and a few surrounding islands, and it was surrounded by the million-strong army of the Ocean Kingdom. It was almost on the verge of destruction.
However, at that moment, the powerful Ocean Empire suddenly experienced a huge change. The Ocean Empire's royal family lost the powerful force that they relied on to rule the Endless Ocean almost overnight. According to the people of the Sea Clan, the royal family of the Ocean Empire had lost the favor of the Sea God. However, from the specific era recorded in the information, Lin Li thought of the Great Demon God Mosali.
The time between the great change in the Ocean Empire and the time when the Great Demon God Mosali was severely injured by the Immortal King and escaped from the Endless Abyss did not seem to be very long. Hence, Lin Li had reason to suspect that the great change that caused the disintegration of the Ocean Empire might have something to do with the Great Demon God Mosali.
With the great change in the Ocean Empire, the several overlords of the Sea Clan were eager to divide up the resources and wealth of the Ocean Empire, and thus could not care less about the interests of the Gilded Kingdom. Hence, the Gilded Kingdom managed to escape the calamity.
The subsequent ocean war gave the Gilded Kingdom a chance to develop and recover. By the time the ocean war ended, the Gilded Kingdom had already become a powerful force that was not inferior to any of the Sea Clan. At this time, the seven overlords of the Sea Clan no longer sought trouble with the Gilded Kingdom due to the fact that they were restraining each other. Instead, they began to rope in the Gilded Kingdom.
However, the information did not clearly state what kind of power had saved the Gilded Kingdom. Lin Li could not be sure that it was the doing of the Great Demon God Mosali.
At that time, the Great Demon God Mosali had just been severely injured by the Immortal King. To put it in a more vulgar way, he was still holding a roof over his head. How could he care about the Gilded Kingdom? Besides, the Great Demon God Mosali was not a saint, and the life and death of the Gilded Kingdom did not matter to him.
After flipping through the information, he immediately threw it aside, and the other documents began to flow past Lin Li's eyes quickly like flowing water. After passing through more than 10 documents, a yellowed animal hide notebook finally stopped in front of Lin Li again.
It was not the official historical record of the Gilded Kingdom, but someone's private notebook. However, Lin Li finally saw the prophecy that Bradlor mentioned in the notebook.
"The kingdom continues because of the demons, but it will also perish because of the demons. When will our suffering end!?"
"Will that magician from the distant continent be our savior?"
"No, it's not over yet. Today, after 1,000 years, the fate of the kingdom will once again face a huge crisis. However, who else will come to save us!? "
The fact that the kingdom continued because of the demons seemed to have pointed out the reason why the Gilded Kingdom survived that crisis. However, why would the Great Demon God Mosali help the Gilded Kingdom? That made Lin Li think of a possibility — the deal with the demons.
One of the things that the Abyssal Demons liked to do the most was to tempt others to make a deal with them. Of course, the condition of the deal was that the other party would have to give up their souls. For example, Connoris was known as a soul trader back then, and his business was to buy the souls of others.
In Anril, there would be people who would trade with demons almost every day, and there would also be people who would have their souls taken away by the demons. The Holy Inquisition of the Brilliance Shrine judged the most heretics were those who had traded with demons. However, the Brilliance Shrine could only control the Ledin Kingdom, and no one in the Felan Kingdom would care about the Brilliance Shrine at all. The power of the Holy Inquisition could not penetrate the Felan Kingdom, either.
Through that information, Lin Li was already 80% sure that someone in the Gilded Kingdom had made a deal with the Great Demon God Mosali. However, there was another thing that made Lin Li puzzled. Given Mosali's identity, would he also make a deal for a soul like an ordinary demon?
Besides, if his conjecture was true, the Great Demon God Mosali had given up the power to help the Gilded Kingdom deal with the Ocean Dynasty. Was it just for the sake of obtaining a soul? To the demons, the deal was obviously unfair. How could a demon do such a thing that would benefit others but not benefit himself?
Besides, Mosali had been severely injured by the Immortal King at that time, and was in urgent need of recovering his power. A mere soul would not be of much help to his injuries at all. Even the soul of a Sanctuary powerhouse was probably not worth the great effort that Mosali had made for the Gilded Kingdom.
In that case, the deal that someone in the Gilded Kingdom had made with the Great Demon God Mosali was probably not as simple as giving up his soul. The price that the Gilded Kingdom had to pay might be smaller than the destruction of the country, but it was still limited.
More importantly, demons had never been particular about fair transactions, and would often set up many traps in the contracts to make the other party pay more than what they had received. Of course, the people of the Gilded Kingdom might also be aware of such things, but they had no other choice in the face of the crisis.
When the crisis was over, it would naturally be time for the Gilded Kingdom and Mosali to settle the score. At this time, the Gilded Kingdom had a stronger foreign aid to seal and suppress Mosali. This stronger foreign aid reminded Lin Li of the Immortal King. Although Geresco also had the power to seal Mosali, the timing obviously did not match.
However, deep down, Lin Li had a feeling that there seemed to be some kind of incomprehensible connection between the Immortal King and Geresco. In particular, when he went to the cursed land again, it was not the Immortal King who was waiting for him in the tower where countless gods were sealed, but Geresco was waiting for him.
Of course, now was not the time to consider the relationship between the Immortal King and Geresco. Lin Li temporarily put that question aside, and continued to look through the information of the Gilded Kingdom.
Indeed, not long after, Lin Li saw the records of another disaster in another ancient notebook of the Gilded Kingdom. It was not long after the destruction of the Ocean Dynasty, and the Gilded Kingdom had just recovered a little when a horrifying plague suddenly appeared. In that plague, a large number of people died, and the prosperous islands became dead. Although the Gilded Kingdom had strict control, they could not control the spread of the plague.
Moreover, the owner of the notebook wrote a clue that all those who died in the plague soon lost their souls. Based on this clue, the Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati paid a huge price to finally find the Great Demon God Mosali. Of course, at that time, they did not know the true identity of the Great Demon God Mosali, and only knew that he was a rather terrifying Abyssal Demon.
Just when the Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati could not do anything to the Great Demon God Mosali, a mage from Anril appeared. With the help of this mage from Anril, the Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati set up an inescapable trap, and sealed the Abyssal Demon that brought the plague to the kingdom underground in the center of Four Seasons Island. Afterwards, under the guidance of that mage, Hopra Square was built on the ground, and a few Sanctuary-level Giant Divine Weapons were used to suppress the Great Demon God Mosali.
Next, it was mentioned at the end of the notebook that the mage from Anril became friends with the Illuminati's first saint, Aquilo. Or rather, he became Aquilo's mentor, and gave Aquilo a lot of knowledge in many fields. Then, within a few years, the incident on Cursed Island happened, and the mage disappeared. Aquilo was also said to have fallen on Cursed Island.
These things overlapped with the records in the Illuminati's scriptures. As for the identity of the mage from Anril, Lin Li was basically certain that he should be the Immortal King who had sealed the Ancient God of Light under Cursed Island.
In the notebook, the owner of the notebook also mentioned that the mage from Anril had once told the people of the Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati that the seal that suppressed the Great Demon God Mosali could not help them solve this huge problem once and for all. In the end, he even sighed and hoped that his other self would appear in time after many years.
Those words made the people of the Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati feel a little puzzled. In fact, most of them even thought that they had heard wrongly. Only the owner of the notebook had truthfully recorded that strange sentence. At the same time, the prophecy about the disaster that was happening to the Gilded Kingdom was also left behind by the owner of the notebook.
For Lin Li, it was not the first time he had seen that strange sentence in the notebook. In the legend of Cursed Island, the Immortal King had also left behind the same sentence, saying that after many years, his other self would come here again, and so on.
However, Lin Li really did not think that the other him that the Immortal King was referring to was an outsider who had transmigrated here. Instead of saying that, Lin Li was more inclined to think that the Immortal King might be referring to Geresco. After all, both of them were from Anril, and both of them also had talent and achievements that ordinary people could not reach.
After that, Lin Li saw the clues that the owner of the notebook had deliberately left behind for his descendants in response to the prophecy. It said that when the disaster that was prophesied appeared, his descendants could look for a notebook that was left behind by the mage from the mainland, and that there might be a way to help the kingdom survive the disaster.
Something left behind by the Immortal King? Regardless of whether he could get rid of the Great Demon God Mosali, the name of the Immortal King was extremely attractive to Lin Li.
Hence, after throwing the notebook away, Lin Li immediately looked for the thing that the Immortal King had left behind in the vast amount of information according to what was written in the notebook. Fortunately, Lin Li had a good understanding of the Immortal King's aura. He spread his mental strength, and soon found a thin notebook that had the aura of the Immortal King.
There were only a dozen pages in the notebook, and the paper used in the notebook was the skin of some marine magical beast. The text inside was a type of Titan language that filled up the dozen pages densely. However, all of the text talked about the same thing — a mageweath that was at the level of a Divine Smith.
