Sky Eyes Oliver, one of the most legendary Heaven Mages of the middle of the 3rd Dynasty, a person who influenced an entire era.
The Mage Eyes that almost every mage could master was the masterpiece of that Heaven Mage. Oliver was called Sky Eyes because he had a pair of unparalleled eyes. They were mentioned in all kinds of legends left behind in the middle of the 3rd Dynasty.
It was said that Oliver's azure eyes could see through all falsehoods, could pierce through the fog of time, and could grasp the trajectory of fate. At his peak, Oliver was the most powerful Astrologer of the entire empire. Even the emperor would have to act like a student in front of Oliver.
But Oliver was very unfortunate in his later years.
Many people felt that this was Oliver's retribution for trying to grasp the trajectory of fate with his mortal body. After reaching the age of eighty, Oliver had gone mad, locking himself in his tower all day to study everything about the Ascian Empire. He wouldn't take a step out of the tower for years, and even if he did come out once in a while, he wouldn't look like a human or a ghost. Not only did he not have a trace of his former elegance, he would even grab someone and say something to them, "Run, run, he's coming …"
In the beginning, there were people who would ask who "he" was referring to …
But soon, some people found out that this question made Oliver even crazier. A crazy Heaven Mage was simply a disaster for the empire at that time. Every time he appeared, he would cause a huge disturbance. Once, the crazed Oliver almost killed the emperor on the spot.
Luckily, the three Royal Court Wizards acted in time and restrained Oliver, who had lost his mind …
His Majesty was grateful for Oliver's contributions to the Empire, and did not punish Sky's Eyes, who had already fallen into madness. He only sent Oliver back to his tower, and had the three court mages personally seal the entire tower …
This kind of imprisonment lasted for a hundred years.
During these 100 years, Olef had always stayed in his tower. Occasionally, when someone went in to visit, they didn't find any changes. Olef was still crazily studying information about the Ascian Dynasty, and was still saying the same thing in a neurotic manner.
"Run, run, he's coming …"
But at this moment, no one would ask him who "he" was referring to …
For a hundred years, Oliver was always in a state of madness, and there was almost no time for him to be sober. As the years passed, people had almost forgotten about Oliver's existence. Until a hundred years later, when the new emperor succeeded the throne, he suddenly had the idea to see the Eyes of Heaven, who had once shaken the empire.
Under the personal protection of the three Court Wizards, the Emperor stepped into Oliver's tower …
Then, he found out that Oliver had disappeared …
At the time, this was an earth-shattering event. The new emperor and the three Court Mages had seen how frightening a crazy Heaven Mage was. At that time, the entire empire acted as if it was facing a formidable enemy. Wanted posters flew out of the imperial capital like snowflakes as the entire empire started searching for Oliver's traces.
However …
However, it was as if Oliver had vanished from the face of the earth. The entire empire searched for him for a full ten years, but they couldn't find a single trace of him.
Year after year, and year after year …
In the end, Oliver's disappearance became an unsolved mystery of the empire. Up until the empire's destruction, that Sky Eyes never appeared in Noscent again.
"This …" Lin Yun hadn't expected that Sky Eyes Oliver, who had been missing for millions of years, would actually appear here.
Lin Yun didn't know how to react at this time.
'How could it be Oliver …'
But the Astrology Staff in his right hand and the Divination Stone in his left … In all of Noscent, only Oliver could wield these two True Spirit Magic Tools at the same time.
Lin Yun didn't even need to lift that black cloth.
Because Lin Yun knew that what was covered by that black cloth was definitely the pair of Sky Eyes that could see through all falsehoods, penetrate the fog of time, and capture the trajectory of fate.
Lin Yun stood there for no less than ten minutes.
After ten minutes, Lin Yun suddenly remembered that he should confirm Oliver's fate.
Naturally, this kind of confirmation was unnecessary.
As Lin Yun expected, this Heaven Mage was the same as the powerhouses he had met before. He had already been dead for millions of years, and although his corpse hadn't decayed, there wasn't a wisp of power remaining.
After doing all this, Lin Yun gradually calmed down.
'It looks like Sky Eyes stepped on an unknown Planar Path after escaping from the tower, just as people guessed. But the place that Planar Path leads to is a bit …' After a brief moment of blankness due to the shock, Lin Yun's brain finally regained some ability to think.
After thinking about it, Oliver was truly unlucky.
The dignified Sky's Eyes, the empire's number one Astrologer, met with such misfortune in his later years. He was imprisoned in the tower for a hundred years, and although he was lucky enough to escape, he was involved in such a strange Planar Path …
At this time, Lin Yun's expression was no longer as relaxed as before. Instead, it was replaced with a kind of worry.
Because Lin Yun already realized that this Planar Path was far more dangerous than he had imagined.
On the way, although Lin Yun had seen the corpses of all intelligent races, and all of them had been famous powerhouses, none of them had given Lin Yun as much pressure as Oliver's corpse.
After all, Oliver was a legendary figure that Lin Yun truly knew. That Sky Eyes had left behind countless legends, and the Mage Eyes he had personally created were still used by countless mages. He was a legendary figure that influenced an entire era.
But now, that legendary figure had already been dead for millions of years, and his corpse was motionless, no different from the other corpses.
And all of this was because Oliver had set foot on this Planar Path.
What was even more frightening was that he was walking on this Planar Path.
Just thinking about it made Lin Yun feel a chill down his spine.
'Do I have to go back?' This thought flashed through Lin Yun 'mind.
But it was immediately rejected by Lin Yun.
Because the risk of going back was no less than going forward.
A Planar Path only sounded like a path, but in fact, it was an incomparably complicated maze. The space here was completely distorted, and it might not be a problem to follow a certain path, but once this path was disrupted, one would immediately fall into the maze. At that time, whether one could get out or not would depend entirely on luck …
"Eh?" Just as Lin Yun was thinking about this, some traces under Oliver's feet suddenly fell into Lin Yun's eyes. "Strange, this is …"
There seemed to be some bloodstains under Oliver's feet. The bloodstains had already dried and turned into dark brown stains, looking like spots …
At first, Lin Yun didn't pay much attention to them. He only thought that Sky Eyes Oliver had experienced a fierce battle and that these bloodstains had been left behind during that battle.
But after taking a closer look, he found out that this wasn't the case.
Although the dark brown bloodstains were blotchy, messy, and indistinct, upon closer inspection, one would find that the bloodstains were too evenly distributed, and did not seem to be formed naturally. It looked more like some kind of written character …
'Hold on …' As he thought of this, Lin Yun suddenly froze.
Indeed, these were characters written in blood.
These were Ascian Characters!
In the legends, the first characters born in Noscent were personally created by the Ancient Gods. The birth of Ascian Characters marked the inheritance of knowledge in Noscent, and the true start of the Golden Era.
But the Ascian Dynasty had existed for a very, very long time.
It was so long that many people believed that whether it was the Ascian Dynasty or the Ancient Gods, they were things of myths and legends. They simply hadn't truly existed in Noscent. Even now, many scholars still insisted on calling the Golden Era the Mythological Era.
Only an era that only existed in myths and legends would be called the Mythological Era.
The Ascian Characters born in the Mythological Era had long since disappeared in the river of time. Even the knowledgeable Lin Yun had only seen some information related to Ascian Characters in some very secretive documents. The number of Ascian Characters he truly grasped didn't exceed thirty.
Now, Lin Yun stared at the bloodstains for a long time, but he could barely distinguish a few characters.
"Run … He … Destroy … There is no way …"
Ascian Characters themselves had mysterious power. Translating a few characters used up all of Lin Yun's strength. After finishing, Lin Yun immediately sat on the ground, gasping for breath as he carefully pondered over everything.
If he wasn't wrong, the beginning of this Ascian Character was the most common sentence Oliver said after going crazy.
"Run, run, he will be here soon."
This sentence was very famous in the middle of the 3rd Dynasty. Many people would use this sentence to ridicule others, but now, Lin Yun didn't dare to think like that.
Lin Yun himself understood some Ascian Characters, so how could he not know how harsh the requirements to use them were? Let alone a lunatic, even an ordinary Heaven Mage might not necessarily be able to correctly use Ascian Characters. That was the wisdom of the Ancient Gods, the source of all knowledge in Noscent.
