Just as the Ash Beast finished speaking.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew past Elvin's ears.
Anita, Olivia, and Milan had already hidden behind him like lightning. Even Elvin's own shadow had quietly moved to the side facing away from the arched door. Clearly, no one, including Kaka, wanted to become the second Bradley.
F * ck, heartless!
In the end, only Elvin, who had nowhere to hide, was left standing alone at the front. He waved his hand repeatedly.
I'm not! I'm not! Don't talk nonsense!
He denied it three times from the bottom of his heart, desperately trying to disassociate himself from the title of "Warrior."
At the same time.
Through piecing the puzzle pieces together, he had basically guessed the secret behind this induced "treasure hunt."
In essence, this was an ancient god's recovery plan. There should be two main lines.
To Loygal and Aihort, the Fog Sea, which was a forbidden land for humans, was actually in a semi-isolated state from the outside material world. It was also equivalent to their shelter.
Due to the established rules of the world, these two ancient gods who had appeared in front of humans (not excluding the possibility that there were more in the Fog Sea) could not easily appear in the material world outside, let alone spread their faith and increase their power.
As ancient gods who had luckily survived the previous era, this world no longer belonged to them. Just like the remnants of the previous dynasty who had made outstanding contributions, they would definitely be heavily guarded and even killed by the current ruler.
Therefore, they needed to find a way to gradually integrate into this world, and they also needed to extend their tentacles beyond the Fog Sea. "Aihort's son born in the light" was clearly the tentacle that extended out.
From this point of view, the God of Black Wings, Ceci, who had established the Shipwreck Bay in the Fog Sea and reached some kind of agreement with the master of the Fog Sea, Loigol, obviously had some unknown plans.
It was just unknown if the fall of Oathbreaker Bradley was a part of this great existence's plan …
Also.
Being rejected by the new world was obviously not the ancient gods' original intention.
As mysterious existences that were highly spiritualized, rule-based, and even conceptualized, although they had survived through various means, it was inevitable that they would be incompatible with this world due to the remnants of the rules of the previous era.
Although in the eyes of normal humans, their existence was so strange, terrifying, and even indescribable.
However, if one were to look at the creatures and even the gods of this world from the perspective of the previous era, it would be the existence of this world that would be distorted and disharmonious.
Just like Extraordinaires, the higher the level of the Extraordinaire, the more perfect their appearance would be. Of course, this was due to the perfect expression of their genetic information. However, those who were closer to the origin of this world would also be molded from the inside out in a form that conformed to the laws of this world.
This was the case for supernatural beings, and it was even more so for gods. The deeper one went into the origin of the world, the heavier the traces of being shaped by the rules.
However, Aihort, the God of Labyrinth, was a ruthless character who had survived the changes of the eras. He had abandoned most of his power and slept for countless years.
Now, with the Divine Concept of [Labyrinth], which was the least worth mentioning, and the item that he had 'stolen' from the Feathered Serpent God Kukulkan more than two hundred years ago, he had clearly created a new Divine Concept that was compatible with this new world.
Using it as a bridge and umbilical cord, he gradually merged into the rules of this world that were different from the previous era, allowing the world to accept him again.
Now.
As the Oracle of the God of Labyrinth, the gradual change in the Azure Beast that was inclined towards the aesthetics of this world was a clear proof. Although in the eyes of normal humans, uh … it was still ugly to the core of its soul.
But there was also a benefit.
They had started planning at least two hundred years ago, painstakingly building a stage that covered tens of thousands of people. With such a maze game as a catalyst, they formed the temporarily unknown new Divine Concept.
At such a critical moment, they obviously could not take the initiative to break the rules and lose the big picture for a small gain.
Therefore, when the Azure Beast turned its thousands of eyes and looked over, Elvin, who already had some confidence, bowed slightly with standard human aristocratic etiquette.
"Honorable Emissary, to be able to participate in this game and witness the power of the God of Labyrinth is an honor for us mortals. We dare not ask for more.
If there is any wish, it is that the great God of Labyrinth can forgive us for intruding and allow me to leave the Fog Sea with my companions, so that this sea and the just rule maker can return to peace. "
The world had its underlying natural operating rules, and the human world had its own operating rules. Etiquette was one of the most important components.
And whether it was the Labyrinth or the so-called "just rule maker," they were obviously not some "natural Divine Concept", but a "humanized Divine Concept" attached to the human civilization.
Also.
Elvin's real reliance was the profound knowledge of the sorcerer. One of the most basic principles of mysticism rituals was "conservation of energy, equivalent exchange." Naturally, there was no need to pay if there was no demand.
At least, after Bradley took the initiative to complete the last step of the ritual, the people on the island were no longer of any use. Unless … Aihort reverted to the nature of an ancient god and started another massacre without any explanation?
The ugly monster looked over with its green eyes. Even if there was unconcealable greed in its eyes, after hearing Elvin's words, it could only hold back.
After hiding in the Fog Sea for a long time, it finally completed its predetermined plan. As an important assistant, the Azure Beast, Aihort's son, knew very well that when it entered the embrace of the new world, it also meant that new shackles had been placed on its god and itself.
"This is a little difficult …"
As it muttered to itself, thousands of pairs of eyes projected green light and shadows, projecting the images of all the survivors in the Labyrinth.
Until now.
There were probably less than half of the survivors left, and almost all of them were struggling in the dangerous Labyrinth. "Undead Bones" Rudolph, who was the closest to the fourth level, still needed about twenty minutes to pass.
Before that, it could not force the game participants to make a wish. Moreover, the final goal had been achieved. Aihort's immature embryo had been injected into Bradley's body, and the choices of the others were not too important.
"Alright, but rules are rules …"
When it said the word "but", Elvin and the others were a bit nervous.
The Azure Beast lifted a thin black limb and reluctantly snapped its fingers elegantly.
Pa!
A crudely made pottery shard with red and black twisted symbols fell from the sky and landed in Elvin's hand.
At the same time, a swirling fog quietly formed not far away from Elvin and the others.
"According to the rules of the Labyrinth, the winner must receive a reward. Take this and you may leave. The fog would last until sunset today, and the winner would be able to leave. This … was also a rule. Squeak squeak squeak … "
There was no need to say what would happen to those who could not reach the Labyrinth at the designated time. Elvin and the others could not do anything about it.
However, the pottery shard in Elvin's hand, although it looked like a clumsy creation of a three-year-old child in the New Stone Age, had automatically entered Elvin's mind.
[Spellbook, Golterton Pottery Shard]
Effect: There are no buffs, but after reading it, you will receive the [Mythological Language, Ancient Code]. When you come into contact with the knowledge of the ancient gods, especially technological knowledge, you will be free from the interference of the chaotic rules.
You will also be able to resist losing control to a certain extent.
From the perspective of a sorcerer, the complete world was divided into two sides, the physical side and the spiritual side.
The change of eras was most direct and profound on the spiritual and spiritual level. For a planet in the great universe, the physical constants would clearly not change with the change of the planet's eras. The technological powers of the ancient era could still continue in this world.
To the ancient gods, this mythological language might be as simple as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. However, to the sorcerers of this era who often explored the Spiritual Realm, it was a very useful piece of knowledge.
With it, the ancient gods' cities in the Spiritual Realm would no longer be of little value.
After receiving the "consolation prize", the four of them bowed to the well and then rushed into the fog as if they were escaping. The feeling of having one's life in the hands of others was something that only those who had tried it could understand.
The last pirate bent his back and tried his best to reduce his presence as he rushed in as well.
.....
When Elvin opened his eyes once again, he was completely surrounded by darkness.
It was as if he was in a huge building that did not allow light to pass through. However, his sharp spiritual senses quickly sensed the flowing wind, the sounds of battle outside the thick rock walls, and the reconnection to the mental network.
After confirming that he had safely left the Labyrinth, he did not return to the "Morning Star". Instead, he arrived at the surface of the island.
"Hmm?"
At the next moment, he suddenly turned his head and realized that he was the only one here. His companions were nowhere to be seen.
[Short Frequency Pulse] was immediately activated.
Elvin realized that he was all alone in a temple in the center of the island that consecrated a huge feathered serpent statue. However, there was no one to take care of it and it had completely withered.
At that moment, the evil spirit girl's singing suddenly rang out in the darkness once again.
"We consecrate the noble Snake God. 'He' is in charge of sunlight and rain, sowing and harvesting, life and civilization …"
Elvin didn't move. He just stood there quietly and listened.
After the ethereal ballad ended, the evil spirit girl finally appeared before him once again. However, she didn't seem to dare to get close to Elvin. She stood far away in a corner of the temple and looked at him.
"You were the one who separated us?"
In the time it took for the ballad to finish, Elvin had already noticed that his sister, Olivia, and Milan had safely appeared in the ruins. Therefore, he was still rather calm.
The evil spirit girl nodded gently.
"Yes. In this temple that belongs to the Snake God, Kukulkan, the God in the fog can't hear us.
It's just that I can smell a power that's similar to this wing on your body.
I swear in the name of my father that I have no other intentions. I only wish to ask you to bring 'Life' back to the Itchana Continent. Is that alright? "
Now that they were out of danger, Elvin didn't mind doing her a small favor, but he asked curiously,
He asked curiously, "What exactly is' Life '?"
However, he saw a pure and relieved smile appear on the little girl's face. It was as if she had completed her final obsession and slowly dissipated into the air.
Apart from the request, she didn't even leave her name behind.
* Clang! *
Only a metallic object fell to the ground.
Elvin waved his hand lightly and the object flew into his hand.
It was a bronze amulet engraved with the image of a feathered serpent. Although it looked ordinary on the surface, Elvin, as a Magus of the 'Activation School', felt as if he was holding a vast forest or a prehistoric beast with unimaginable vitality in his hand.
"This is the so-called 'Life'?"
