Just as Rex was about to enter the temple, Salin suddenly yelled, "Come out!"
Not far away, a light green rock cracked open slowly. One of the pieces turned into a beautiful lady. It was Demon Trish. Trish was obviously embarrassed. "Sir …" she said sheepishly.
"Humph. Since you know this secret, come here and write your name!" Salin didn't give Trish and Rex much time to think. He asked Trish to write his name on the stone tablet.
Trish looked panicked, but she was secretly happy. Even Byrne couldn't discover her hiding. Salin could only discover it because he knew that Trish had been following him all along. Salin asked him to come out so that he could get a bigger share of the loot in the temple.
There were only four seeds of the tree of god. However, the distribution of the other things in the temple depended on the number of people who entered. Apart from her, the rest of the people around Rex were all level-5 and level-4 mages. It was impossible for them to fly up. It wasn't that level-5 mages couldn't fly, but apart from people like Salin who created their own spells, ordinary level-5 mages could only rely on their equipment to fly for short distances. They weren't much better than silver sword sages.
When Jason was in Tilan City, he only used his flying skills to cross the city walls. At that time, Jason was only a level-5 mage.
Of course, Rex felt that this wasn't appropriate. After all, one more person would mean one less share of the loot in the temple. However, she couldn't let Salin kill Trish if she followed him. She had to keep the secret. In that case, bringing him into the temple was the best choice.
Salin very appropriately suggested that Trish didn't have the right to get a share of the seed of the tree of god since she came here without permission. This way, even Byrne couldn't say anything. He risked his life to enter the temple just so that Rex could get one more seed of the tree of god.
"Master, if the number of seeds of the tree of god is an odd number, Trish has the right to get the last one." Sicca wasn't stupid. Her suggestion was also agreed by Rex and Byrne. Anyway, according to Rex's calculations, there were definitely multiple seeds of the tree of god.
However, Sicca didn't think so. As long as there was a chance, she would fight for this right for Salin.
Trish wasn't worried about the thousand-year limit. Anyway, if Salin couldn't complete the contract, Neris would make him suffer. He knew this very well. It was better to enter the Divine Temple and become Salin's confidant. With the restrictions of this contract, Nelis would definitely spare no effort to help Salin summon enough manpower from the Demon Plane to launch an expedition against the Myers Continent.
This way, the popular legend in the Demonic Plane might become a reality.
The five of them walked out of the temple together. Except for Sarlin, Sarlin had to send the others in one by one. Salin's Divine Arts were truly pitiful. He could only rely on his Water Ripple Shield, which was imbued with Divine Power, to protect everyone as they entered the shrine. It was clearly written on the stone tablet that anyone who was not a believer of the goddess was not allowed to enter the temple. Shrouded in the unique divine power of Goddess Myers, she was naturally tacitly recognized as a believer.
Even Rex knew that this was not an oversight, but a possibility left behind by the Goddess. She didn't know how Salin got the Divine Arts, but she knew that Salin was definitely not a believer.
The construction of the Divine Temple was not fancy. Goddess Myers had never allowed believers to decorate the Divine Temple with anything precious. Other than the Divine Temple being made of steel rock, everything else in the Divine Temple was very simple. Those exquisite patterns and carvings were very simple for humans back then. Only Divine Arts or mid-level magic could be done on a large scale. The stone pillar in front of the Divine Temple was more than thirty meters tall. It was very shocking for humans, but if it was built by giants, it would at most be a toy.
There were giants who were more than a hundred meters tall. It was very simple for them to help the Goddess build a Divine Temple.
The door of the Divine Temple was open. In front of them was a stone wall with a large number of murals carved on it. These murals were useless for ordinary people, but for believers, they could absorb a large amount of information with just a glance. Humans tens of thousands of years ago were not less intelligent than humans now. They had a strong ability to absorb information. The huge amount of information hidden in a mural could allow believers to quickly gain knowledge. When the Goddess was still here, the mural would change frequently. Now, it was fixed on a certain scene, and there were no more changes.
Rex explained to Salin. He led Salin and the others around the stone wall and into the next hall. This Divine Temple was built on the Endless Mountain. It looked narrow, but with the Goddess's ability, she could still build a Divine Temple of the same size as the one on the ground.
It was quiet inside the Divine Temple. The five of them passed through more than a dozen empty halls and finally arrived at the core area.
This Divine Temple was astonishingly large, and its height was also higher than all the surrounding halls. Looking up, Salin had to use Ice Vision to see the ceiling. And the inside of this Divine Temple was different from all the Divine Temples of the Goddess that Salin had been to. It was not empty, but four withered trees stood upright.
Behind the four withered trees was a high platform. On the platform, there were hundreds of boxes carved with tremolo stones. The style of these boxes had never changed. They were used to hold ashes. This was also the first time that Salin had seen such luxurious things in the Goddess' Divine Temple.
The quality of these tremolo stones was very high. They were definitely not ordinary nephrite. Among them, the lowest quality was also jasper. The jade boxes used to hold the ashes were inlaid with Soot Gold, which was even more precious than Adamantine. Soot Gold was actually the essence of Adamantine, and was mixed with Soot Gold according to a certain ratio.
To refine these precious metals, the amount of gold needed was probably something that could only be provided by a planet. Even the planes and continents wouldn't be able to provide more gold.
Although Salin was tempted by such precious Soot Gold, he didn't dare to touch it. Because these ashes were left behind by the Oracles of the Goddess.
Mages wouldn't rob the graves of the strong. It was the same for necromancers. If you didn't respect the strong, you would suffer retribution. Moreover, Salin didn't believe that the Oracles of the Goddess didn't have protective measures for these ashes.
What Salin cared more about were the four withered trees. If there were no accidents, these four withered trees were the four types of Divine Trees that the Goddess had created. The Tree of Life, the Tree of Elements, the Tree of Knowledge, and the Tree of Taboo.
Rex, who was usually calm, blushed. She said to Salin excitedly, "The seeds of the Divine Tree are different from ordinary plants. They are inside the trunk of the Divine Tree. Although these four Divine Trees are withered, you can only break them with your left hand. Otherwise, it will take years and almost 100 Magic Shooters to take them out. "
Salin himself didn't realize what was so special about this withered tree. With Rex's reminder, he experimented with an Icicle. The icicle, which was equivalent to a level-three magic attack, shattered when it hit the withered tree.
Salin was dumbfounded. This thing was much sturdier than the Coiled Turtle Shell! However, it would be too troublesome to use this material to make armor. Even water flames wouldn't be able to deal with such sturdy material.
Salin placed his left hand on the withered tree, and green light seeped into it. Something unexpected happened. He could clearly feel the veins in the Tree of God. In the withered trunk of the Tree of God, there was a seed that contained a huge amount of vitality. It was beating slowly like a heart.
Just by sensing with his divine telekinesis, the seed suddenly broke through the trunk of the Divine Tree and flew into Salin's hand at the speed of light.
At this moment, Rex also placed her hand on another Divine Tree. Her Divine Sieve Ring flashed with a faint golden light, and a Divine Tree seed flew out and landed in Rex's hand.
Without hesitation, Salin immediately went to collect the second seed. There was indeed only one seed. It seemed like he could only rely on luck. What he hoped to get the most were the seeds of the Elemental Tree and the Tree of Knowledge. With these two, it was not impossible to become the most powerful Mage.
The seeds of the Divine Tree were all green and more than half a meter in diameter. They were as light as a feather in his hand. There were dark green patterns on the seeds, and divine characters were hidden in the patterns. Salin held the two seeds of the Divine Tree and read them carefully. He was instantly disappointed.
He had obtained the seeds of the Tree of Life and the Tree of Taboo. The two that he wanted were both in Rex's hands. Rex was also a Mage. Of course, she wouldn't exchange them with him.
Although Rex didn't recognize the divine characters, Salin wouldn't lie to her. The Tree of Life was still fine. If he could make it germinate, Salin would obtain endless life force. This was much more powerful than the magic liquid. As long as he wasn't killed instantly, Salin wouldn't have to worry about getting injured in the future.
But what was the Tree of Taboo for? To become a God? Salin had never thought of becoming a God. Mages clearly knew that Gods were just a kind of creature, and there were many taboos. For example, the God of Light couldn't enter the Myers Continent Dimension. Humans were different. As long as they had enough power, they could go anywhere.
That was because human power didn't need any faith at all. It was completely their own. Back then, humans could move the sun of another dimension to the sky above the Myers Continent. This was enough to show how powerful the potential of humans was.
I'll study it slowly. Salin had no choice but to put the two seeds of the Divine Tree into the demon ring. He didn't even exchange opinions with Rex. This Goddess' space was a little strange. Salin didn't want to stay any longer and wanted to leave as soon as possible. He had been out for half a year, right? He didn't know how Metatlin City was doing.
Rex looked at the four withered Divine Trees and said to Salin helplessly, "Only your gift ring can collect them. Even my God Sieve Ring can't do it."
Salin glanced at Shika. Shika pressed his hand on a withered Divine Tree. Something that surprised Salin happened again. The hundred-meter-tall Divine Tree was put into Shika's gift ring just like that.
This withered Divine Tree was also something that couldn't be measured by wealth. Not to mention how precious the material of the trunk was, the leaves on the crown were all withered. However, there were divine characters hidden on every leaf. They should have other uses.
