[I finished it yesterday, but I didn't post it. There's one more chapter after midnight. This is today's first chapter. My schedule is a bit messy. Sorry, I forgot to post it.]
Rex reminded them again and again to let everyone understand one thing. Once she felt danger, they had to escape immediately. If they could find the temple, even if they didn't have the chance to get the seed of the tree of god, they could come again. As long as the Godsieve Ring could be used, Myers would have an extra life.
Salin didn't rest for the night. Instead, he forged the sixth Celestial Cherry Arrow for Eileen. The power stored in the badge had been used up. The next time they encountered danger, they would have to rely on Rex's Godsieve Ring. His Crystal Finger could deal with Magic Shooters, but Salin also knew that with his power, his life would be in danger if he faced a level-8 Magic Shooter. Even if he didn't die, he would lose all his fighting strength.
As long as it was possible, Salin would never use his Crystal Finger again, unless he really advanced to Magic Shooter and had enough magic strings and mental strength for him to use.
The temple was just 1.5 kilometers away, but Rex slept peacefully. At the center of the desert, the magical beasts had almost disappeared, and the sandstorm didn't come. All the Mages drank a portion of magic fluid and adjusted their body conditions to the best. The Swordsmen drank large amounts of Restoration Water and changed their food.
In Qin Yin's army, the Mages would make food for high-ranking generals and Sword Saint warriors. This food was also mixed with large amounts of magic potions, which could repair body injuries and improve the body's abilities.
This food wasn't expensive. At least, Rex could afford it. However, it was difficult to store. Even if it was placed in the Godsieve Ring, it could only be stored for six days. The Mages made food for six days. After entering the temple, they wouldn't excrete after consuming this magic food. This food was as pure as magic cores.
This meant that in the next six days, no one would take off their armor and stay in a battle state.
The first glimmer of dawn was the best time in the Purgatory Desert. The temperature had just risen, but it was still below freezing point. Rex split the team into two and headed northeast. Walking in front was her own team of Mages under the protection of the Swordsmen. Behind them was Salin's team. Zola and Sue were responsible for Eileen's safety, while Salin was protected by Nelis and a few demons.
Rex and Salin could sense the existence of the shrine. Rex relied on the God Sieve Ring, while Salin relied on his left hand. Salin's hand had completely mutated and possessed the power of the Goddess of Nature. He had an instinctive sense of the temple left behind by the Goddess of Nature.
"It's right in front!" Rex let out a joyful sound. After searching for more than three hours and repeatedly adjusting his position, the God Sifting Ring finally sensed something. However, Salin frowned. He had long realized that he might be within the range of the divine temple, but he could not find the entrance no matter how hard he tried.
Rex sprinted forward for hundreds of meters and gathered everyone together. Salin closed his eyes and said slowly, "We should be above the temple, but here …"
Beneath his feet was the flowing black sand, whimpering in the wind. In this kind of environment, it was impossible for there to be any teleportation array.
After hesitating for a moment, Salin said, "Protect me well." After saying that, he took out the newly obtained Bestowed Ring and began chanting the divine text.
Eileen looked at Salin in shock. She had not taught Salin the divine text for a long time, but even if Salin had learned all the divine text, it did not mean that he could use divine spells. Right now, Salin was clearly using a complete divine spell.
The result was very simple. A series of divine text flew out of the Bestowed Ring on Salin's hand. These divine text emitted a faint green glow and sank into the black sea of sand.
Salin did not even know what the use of a demigod spell was, but he believed that back then, the Goddess had left the Bestowed Ring behind to allow the latecomers to enter the temple. Otherwise, with his previous situation, how could a level-one Magician, who did not know any divine text, enter the temple by chance? He would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.
These divine text flew into the black sand, and the ground beneath their feet immediately trembled.
The Magicians' feet immediately left the ground, but they did not fly high. Instead, they enhanced the armored Warriors with magic, and they floated at an altitude of two to three meters. Fourth-level Magicians could not fly, but Rex enhanced them with flying spells. Fifth-level Magicians could barely wait at this altitude.
The black sand tumbled like the waves of the sea. A black mountain emerged. The mountain was clearly made of black sand, but as the black sand flowed down from the top of the mountain, the mountain continued to grow upwards. The speed at which the black sand was flowing was far faster than the black sand was flowing away.
Seeing the black mountain emerge, Salin was very displeased. Although he had a very good impression of the Goddess, this reek of conspiracy was too strong. An irrelevant divine spell, an ordinary Ring of Grace, was able to summon the Shrine? But this time, he was here to enter the temple and find the seed of the tree of god. Even if the Goddess directly stuffed the seed of the tree of god into his arms, he would smile and accept it.
After all, he could not not give up what he needed just because this matter seemed troublesome.
Salin helplessly flew into the air, but he saw the skeleton of the nameless magical beast that Shika had released, and it also flew into the air. Smiling, Shika stopped beside Salin and said, "Look, what do you think of this little fellow of mine?"
Salin was surprised. Although the skeleton of the magical beast had wings, they did not flap at all. It completely relied on the power of the elements to fly. And Shika was only using his spiritual power to control it. In other words, Shika had already become one with the skeleton of the magical beast. The flight of the skeleton was completely under Shika's control.
Shika casually took out a few javelins from the Bestowed Ring and stuck them on his back. Nelis looked at the sky, a little depressed. She could not fly now, so she could only control the balance of her body and stand on the gradually rising mountain peak.
A huge pair of black and purple wings suddenly grew out of Trish's back. This pair of black and purple wings was six meters wide. He easily flew beside Salin and looked down. After a short period of practice, he was already able to freely control this deformed body. The most powerful thing about the Ultimate Transformation spell was not that it was difficult to be seen through, but that even if the body was deformed, you could still use most of the abilities, unlike ordinary transformation spells, which basically lost all special abilities after transformation.
The mountain peak under his feet grew higher and higher, gradually rising to five hundred meters, and still did not stop. Black clouds began to gather in the sky. Salin began to worry. If it was going to rain, the lightning would definitely appear. Mages flying in the air could easily be struck to death.
The quicksand at the top of the black mountain peak flowed down continuously, gradually revealing the outline of the divine temple. Salin sighed and pointed at the entrance of the divine temple. Trish did not hesitate and dived in.
His body was the strongest in Salin's team. Even Nelis could not compare to him. With a flap of his wings, he had already arrived under the pillar of the divine temple. Looking at the open door of the divine temple, Trish hesitated.
The swordsmen who could barely stand on their feet in the quicksand rushed towards the divine temple with all their might. Soon, they stood together with Trish. Trish was originally an outstanding beauty with an enchanting figure. After adding a pair of wings, these swordsmen felt a chill in their hearts.
It would be strange if they could not see that there was something wrong with Salin's subordinates. But Rex was not afraid, and did not remind them. These swordsmen only maintained a distance where they could attack, and did not retreat.
After so much trouble to find the position, they entered easily? Salin and Rex landed. Looking at the entrance of the divine temple, they were both hesitant.
"Princess, let me do it," Grizzly Bear said to Rex, waving his shield.
Rex nodded. Grizzly Bear used a huge shield to protect his body. Standing in the middle of the door of the divine temple, he shouted, "Is anyone there?"
Everyone thought that Grizzly Bear was going to rush in. Unexpectedly, he stood outside and shouted. The atmosphere suddenly became strange, but also much more relaxed. Grizzly Bear shook his head, which was two sizes larger than others. He took a careful step and walked into the divine temple. In his right hand was a spear that Salin had refined for him. The tip of the spear was pointed downward, and he could launch a fierce attack at any time.
No one responded to him in the divine temple. It was empty. When Grizzly Bear walked into the divine temple, the scenery in front of him immediately changed. It was a green world with fresh air and pleasant temperature. This was thousands of times better than the space created by Rafael.
The tip of Grizzly Bear's spear vibrated, and his sword aura was concealed. He searched around cautiously, but apart from some harmless insects, he did not see any other creatures.
"Come in. It seems safe." Grizzly Bear hid behind the shield and did not advance rashly.
Only then did the warriors begin to file in. Rex and Salin were in the middle. Rex raised his alchemy telescope and observed the depths of the divine temple. He found that the environment here was simply like heaven.
The safer it was, the more suspicious he was. After all, they had encountered countless dangers along the way. It seemed that Rex had not lost anyone, but everyone had encountered more than ten dangers, and every step had been filled with trepidation. None of them had made it here because of powerful equipment, not personal strength.
"What should we do?" Rex asked subconsciously.
"Set up camp here. Create a coordinate first. I need to prepare a batch of suitable equipment for them. Anyway, the real divine temple is not far away. " Salin pointed at the mountain in the distance. On the other side of the river, they could vaguely see a divine temple in the clouds.
Rex nodded. She was worried about personal gains and losses. It was rare that she did not know what to do. Salin would not change the original plan. Everything would go according to plan. If this was a huge trap, he had to give it a try. If a level-five Mage wanted to protect himself, even if the Church swept across the continent, they would not be able to affect someone of Salin's level. But he could not. There was an irreconcilable conflict between him and the Church.
He could not rely on others. He had to get the seed of the divine tree. That was what Salin was thinking.
The gate behind him did not disappear. Outside was a vast and boundless desert. The wind and sand in the desert stopped in front of the gate. Inside the divine temple, it was as warm as spring.
"Set up camp!" Rex ordered. Another Mage made a hole in the ground and put in a metal coordinate. This way, even if they went deep into the divine temple, they would not lose their way. The elements in the divine temple were no longer chaotic. The magic compass could also be used. However, this space could not correspond to the coordinates of the Myers Continent. They had to set it up themselves.
Rex asked Salin suspiciously, "What is this place? A half plane? Or … "
Salin looked up at the different sun in the sky and said, "This is the world of the Goddess. I heard that when the deities reach a certain level of power, they can create their own world. This is not strange. Even … "
