Part 2.
In the center of the Purgatory Desert, Salin easily found the entrance to the temple.
The tall pillars, the lonely temple, but inside was a colorful world. Salin remembered that this was a very dangerous place.
Walking into the world of the Central Temple, Salin was even more shocked because the seal in his body had been automatically lifted. The rules here were different from those on the Myer Continent. Power above level-13 was allowed.
This meant that Goddess Myer's power had already surpassed level-12.
Salin gazed at the Endless Mountains and wondered if he should go up.
Just as he was considering the pros and cons, a gentle female voice came from the Endless Mountains. "Salin, since you're here, come up."
Salin immediately knew that this voice belonged to a god. Soft and deep, intertwined and very harmonious. The voice was low but full of charm.
Hearing this voice, the Purple Angel shivered. But he still looked at Raphael and said to Salin, "Master, we're going to see a god. Let's be more imposing."
Salin nodded. The Purple Angel lay on the ground and transformed into a Golden Dragon. Salin and Raphael both stood on it.
With someone on it, the Purple Angel felt much more comfortable. So he rose into the air and flew toward the Endless Mountains.
Goddess Myer chuckled and then went silent.
Salin calmed down. She was just a goddess. He would talk about it when they met. He had brought Myer back to life. Why should he be afraid? He had wanted to kill Myer. Myer must have known.
He did not believe that Goddess Myer would have level-15 power after being resurrected.
If she was level-14, he should be able to escape.
Since his life was no longer threatened, Salin completely relaxed. Stepping on the Purple Angel, he flew across the sky. Now that he was a level-13 Grand Mage and no longer an Enchanter, he could figure out a thing or two about the rules of the new world. When he passed by the river, he did not encounter any obstacles and crossed it easily.
Halfway up the Endless Mountains, Salin found that the mountain had become taller again. The Purple Angel flew with all his might, but after flying for a few hours, he still could not see the end.
Salin had no choice but to say, "Mage Salin has come to meet you."
"Come up."
His eyes lit up. The clouds disappeared and Salin saw a tall stone tablet. Only a few names remained on the stone tablet. The contract from before no longer existed.
The Purple Angel crawled in front of the monument. Salin heard Myers say, "That is the Mausoleum of the Gods. The angels who followed me are all in eternal slumber there. I came back to life, but these people …"
She did not continue but opened the door of the temple to let Salin in.
Salin had the Purple Angel wait outside while Raphael walked into the Goddess' temple.
Everything in the temple had changed. As soon as he entered, Salin saw Myers. She was standing beside the table, looking at the virtual image above the table.
Myers, just like the one on the mural, was wearing a light dress, and her hair was casually tied up, most of which was scattered behind her. She was barefooted and wore nothing but a red wooden bracelet on her wrist.
Raphael stood at the door, not daring to go any further. She was still afraid of gods. If Myer was hostile, she would risk her life to enter, but it seemed that Myer wanted to talk to Salin. She didn't want to wait in the most powerful place.
Salin took a few steps forward and came to the table.
On the table, it turned out to be a magic image. Salin didn't expect Myers to use magic after being resurrected. Gods didn't have magic strings. Using the power of rules to manipulate elements was a divine spell.
Could it be that Myers was not a god now? If she wasn't a god, how could she give an oracle?
Seeing Salin's puzzled expression, Myers didn't explain. She just said softly, "Salin, thank you."
Salin didn't know how to respond to the goddess. At this time, he already saw a divine beast crawling behind the goddess, glaring at him.
Well, it seemed that the divine beast had told Myers everything about him.
Since he had nothing to say, Salin looked at the contents of the magic image.
This time, he was shocked again. The magic image on the table was two meters square, but it was a three-dimensional map of the entire Myers Continent. This map was extremely miniaturized. The top part was outside the atmosphere of the continent, and the bottom part was the depths of the underground lava. It was so wide that even the countries of the East Sea were included.
Salin was only able to notice this because he looked down from the sky. Otherwise, with his soul power, he might not be able to distinguish the details.
Seeing that Salin understood what it was, Myers smiled and said, "Where's your contracted creature? Why doesn't it dare to come?"
Salin shrugged and said, "This is between me and you."
Myers was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, Salin. This is between us. You took a lot of benefits from me and resurrected me. Speaking of which, I didn't suffer any losses. But you destroyed many of my temples just to get the luck I left behind. Isn't that too … "
"I'm always the first, and resurrecting you is the second." Salin directly answered what he was thinking in his heart.
With the Lightning Domain, divine power didn't exist for him. So, whatever Salin wanted to say, he wouldn't be affected by the goddess.
"You've already seen the power of the gods, and you're still like this, sigh …" The goddess sighed, but she didn't seem to be really angry.
"You used to be a mage too." Salin didn't finish his sentence. He knew that the goddess could understand what he meant.
"Yes, I used to be a mage too, so I plan to give you a way out." Although Myers was smiling, Salin felt a chill.
He probably couldn't hide the fact that he killed the two Oracles. Myers mentioned his contracted creature right away, so it wasn't without reason. It was easier to communicate with deities in a straightforward manner.
"What do you want me to do?" Salin asked.
"Unify the continent."
"And then?"
"And then get lost," Myers scolded with a smile.
"What can I take with me when I leave?"
"Your wife and children."
"What if the God of Light descends?"
"Take them to the Abyss King City."
Salin felt that he had no secrets left, so he could only ask, "Why don't you do it yourself?"
"Because you bastard completely destroyed the Godhood I left behind. I still have to wait for a chance to recover my strength.
"Isn't that for me?" Salin was confused.
Myers didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "Who knew that a mage of your level could destroy a Godhood?"
Salin nodded and said, "If I don't agree, what will happen?"
Myers said, "What can you do? I don't want to deal with you, but you have a family and a country. Do you have to go against me?"
Salin was at a loss for words. Indeed, Goddess Myers might not deal with him, but if she gets angry, who knows what she might do. My country, my wife, my children, my followers, and thousands of aristocrats will all be out of luck.
Why should he go against Myers?
"I need strength." Salin asked straightforwardly.
"I won't give you the Godhood," Myers replied.
"Give me time. I will train myself!"
"I won't waste so much energy. If you want to reverse time, you need to consume at least the Godhood. The power of time is not as simple as you think. It is equivalent to going against the rules of the entire Crystal Wall System. "Myers refused straightforwardly. Salin finally knew Myers' bottom line.
"Then what can I get?" Salin still asked.
"I will help your three Artifact Spirits become demigods. When the rules of the Myers Continent loosen, you can release all of them to fight against the God of Light." Myers refused to help Salin advance, but was willing to pay the price of three broken Godhoods to let the three powerful Artifact Spirits become demigods.
In this way, the three demigods indeed had the ability to fight against the God of Light. As long as Salin could eliminate all the remnants of the Vatican, the God of Light could only exert the lowest power of level-15 on the Myers Continent, not the highest.
"If that's the case, I can't sign the contract."
"Okay." Myers answered straightforwardly, finally showing a hint of pride in her eyes.
Salin was stunned. Then he realized that the Goddess didn't want to sign the contract either. If the contract had no time limit, he could choose not to complete it. In that case, the Goddess couldn't violate the contract to deal with him. If there was a time limit, it meant that the Goddess was forcing him, and the conditions she gave couldn't be too low.
To Myers, only by not signing the contract could she restrict his actions.
Salin couldn't see through Myers' current level, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Myers looked at Salin's expression and smiled. "Salin, if you're not convinced, you can use your strongest attack to test if I'm your opponent."
Salin shook his head. "I don't want to kill you now. If I do, I might regret it."
"I won't fight back."
Before Myers finished speaking, the family crest in Salin's Thunder Dragon Bracelet had already floated out, and a huge electric current shot toward Myers.
Salin indeed didn't want to kill Myers, at least not for now. He considered the problem of the heroic spirits' graveyard and felt that if he wanted to get rid of the heroic spirits, Myers was the key.
Even so, Salin's first move was his strongest attack, and he had no intention of holding back.
This family crest had been refined by Salin, and the electric current it shot out was a hundred times stronger than before. He shouted angrily and used Thunderous Burst. Regardless of whether it could interfere with the Goddess' senses, he had to do this.
He tried his best. Whether he succeeded or not depended on luck.
Myers smiled at Salin, and a mirror appeared in front of her. It was a common spell — Water Mirror.
Salin's electric current was reflected by this simple spell. Salin's figure disappeared. That was because he had a premonition that his life was in danger, so he escaped.
