In the dead of the night, the night market in the city had already closed.
Elvin, who was originally too excited about the manifestation of [Longinus], did not feel sleepy at all. However, he did not know when he gradually fell asleep and had a series of absurd and bizarre dreams.
The dreams were filled with scenes that were a hundred times more absurd than the "fairy tale world".
Half asleep, half awake, he saw a cotton thread tied to a white cloud in the sky, and the whole of White Swan Castle suspended from the other. He saw a mouse with a hundred barrels of olive oil on his back, and sixty cartloads of salt, running faster than a horse.
He saw an anvil and a stone tablet crossing the Hartson River together. They swam gracefully and gently, more agile than the fish in the river.
He saw three people on stilts with crutches trying to catch a rabbit in the wilderness in the middle of the New World. One of them was deaf, one was blind, and one was mute.
In an incomparably bizarre scene, Blind was the first to see the hare running on the grassland. Mute shouted loudly at Cripple, and in the end, Cripple stepped on the stilts and leaped as if he was flying, grabbing the hare by the neck.
"How strange! It completely defies common sense … "
Being able to maintain a clear consciousness in a dream and even have limited control over one's dream was a compulsory course for a great wizard. After witnessing the scene that was too absurd even in a dream, Elvin pondered if it was some sort of omen from spirituality.
Suddenly.
Whoosh —!
The golden sun high in the sky creaked and swayed twice, then suddenly fell in front of him.
Elvin suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the golden light. A figure that could take one's life revealed itself completely.
Under the illumination of a dazzling and immortal golden wheel of light behind his head, he could clearly see that the divine being had a pair of curved horns on her head and an indescribably beautiful face.
Even though the wheat-like dark skin did not completely fit Elvin's aesthetic, the extreme beauty seemed to have condensed into a substance and shone with dazzling light from the face!
Below the slender and beautiful neck.
The phoenix-like body was covered with feathers that seemed to be made of pure gold. The veins of each feather were woven with shining runes. The agile wind shuttled between the feathers and at the same time, it was dyed golden by the feathers.
Clouds of golden wind were swirling, whistling, playing, and screaming mercilessly … but they were all surrounding her and worshipping her as a god!
"Myth …"
The moment he reacted, Elvin screamed like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. He buried his face in the grass under his feet like an ostrich burying its head in the sand. He pretended to be dead in broad daylight.
Recalling what Venia said when they parted, he screamed in his heart.
"What common sense imagery? This is a confusion caused by a demigod invading the Dream World!"
Under normal circumstances, a wizard's personal dream was their home ground. Even without Nymphs' Dream Sorcery, if a wizard of the same level dared to enter Elven's dream, Elven would have a hundred ways to make sure that the wizard would not be able to leave.
But a demigod who was good at this was beyond Elvin's ability to deal with.
So, since he could not resist, he would just close his eyes and enjoy … my ass!
"Hmm?"
But after waiting for a while, Elvin found that after witnessing the "Mythical Form" of the demigod again, he did not change into anyone's shape. Only then did he realize that he had just experienced a well-prepared prank.
At the same time.
A beautiful voice that seemed to be the harmony of thousands of beautiful notes in the world suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Hehehe, just kidding, Mr. Garriott, we meet again."
Elvin carefully raised his head and saw a female king in a golden dress and a glorious crown, winking at him mischievously.
Although she was dressed in a mature and majestic manner, her real appearance after becoming a human could only be fifteen or sixteen years old or even younger. Her golden eyes were full of unruliness and agility. Compared to kings and gods, she was more like a skylark singing in the sky.
The form did not have much meaning to the gods. Their appearance was born from the heart, which was vividly reflected in them. Her appearance was so young, and it was very likely that the mentality of this goddess was also that of a young girl.
So, what could Elvin do? Of course, he chose to forgive her.
"Ahem! The incarnation of the wind, the great 'Sky Goddess,' good day! It's nice to see you again. "
He got up from the ground as if nothing had happened and bowed.
Whether it was a goddess or a woman, they were indeed creatures who held grudges. Clearly, she still remembered Elvin's slight offense.
The so-called "Mythical Form" was just a facade. She just wanted to see if the "adventurer's blood" in his body was still so … fierce?
Just like back then, the goddess gracefully returned the greeting like a virtuous lady using the etiquette of the Old Continent.
.....
Clouds rolled in the blue sky, and a gentle breeze blew across the lush grass, stirring up green waves.
"In other words, in less than ten years, you've already replaced the Kingdom of Shilius to rule the bridgehead of the colonization of the Shattered Star Sea?"
Back then, Kulutena welcomed Elvin as a great adventurer who would explore the world in the future. Her words seemed to be on the tip of her tongue when she welcomed Elvin to visit the Golden Kingdom after crossing the Black Sea, the New Continent, and the entire Shattered Sea of Stars.
When they met again, the young man from back then had already become the master of half of the New Continent. She could not help but be deeply amazed. Even the characters in the heroic epics could not compare to him.
"Hehe, strictly speaking, it's only half of the northern part of the New Continent. It's only ten million square kilometers of land, not worth mentioning at all compared to the vast world."
In this dream world that belonged to Elvin, the two of them sat on the grassland with a gentle breeze and chatted casually.
Krutena, the "Sky Goddess", did not feel superior because of her identity as a god. Elvin did not feel inferior because he was only a Rank-4. Unless the other party used her "Mythical Form" for some reason, he could still maintain a calm heart.
This was because he had seen too many existences at this level. Moreover, who had not killed one or two demigods?
Krutena, the "Sky Goddess", was like a free wind, full of curiosity about the whole world. Her personality was very similar to that of Venia, who had become a saintess. Although it was unknown how long she had existed, her mentality was very young.
She was also very concerned about the changes in this world. She had only wanted to show up and tease Elvin, but after a few words, she realized that he had grown a lot compared to seven or eight years ago.
It made her feel that she had only returned to the "Golden Kingdom" for less than ten years, but it was as if she had been derailed from the world for a century.
"Your Majesty, the current Old Continent is undergoing a great change that has never happened in a thousand years …"
Elvin introduced the current situation of the New Continent to this goddess in detail. From the perspective of a monarch, he stood high enough and was deeply involved enough. Every word he said was pointed and targeted.
Of course, there was no lack of private information, especially the trend of the "capitalist class" that claimed to bury the "royal power".
This existence who was both a god and a king should be a natural ally for him. The bad guys were busy forming factions, so why couldn't the good guys do the same?
Although Elvin had not figured out what the God of Black Wings' promise to the evil gods was, it did not prevent him from giving them a warning first.
"In fact, things like systems and development paths may not be acclimatized if they are randomly transplanted. Even if the complete set of technology, politics, and economic systems were brought here, the Golden Kingdom does not have the conditions for primitive accumulation of capital.
First, there must be a large number of free workers without the means of production. Second, a large amount of means of production and monetary wealth must be concentrated in the hands of a few people and turned into capital.
Once this premise is not established, the guns and machines in the Golden Kingdom will be just toys. They will not have the power to conquer the world in the hands of the human countries. "
First, he put an end to the curiosity of the "Sky Goddess" in principle, then ran to learn from those guys' "capitalism" and "democratic politics."
In fact, Kulutena had long understood the profound meaning of "those who learn from me will live, and those who imitate me will die." She was not too obsessed with the development path of the various countries in the Tulip Family. She only brought back the technology to improve the people's lives.
But even so, Elvin felt that this goddess's plan was too advanced. If it continued to develop normally, the Source Continent's technology might usher in another major explosion in a few decades or a hundred years. Only then could it truly threaten the Golden Kingdom.
Of course, a hundred years was an extremely long time for humans, but it was just a snap of the fingers for the gods. Even Elvin, who had lived two lifetimes, could not understand it.
The two chatted for a while longer.
She listened to Elvin talk about the revival of the ancient gods, the migration of the God of Black Wings' path, the transformation from an evil god to an angel, the increasing activity of the ancient gods' kin, the struggle for supremacy on the sea that was destined to affect the entire mortal world, and the rise of the bourgeoisie …
The face of the Sky Goddess, whose wisdom was as deep as the sea, grew more and more solemn. She had realized that in the ten years she had been away from the Old Continent, an unprecedented change had clearly begun to brew.
"Don't you want to know what's going on with the remnant tribes in the Shattered Star Sea? I can tell you that, and this is also my original intention of seeking technological power outside of the Transcendents to develop the Golden Kingdom. "
Elvin could not help but straighten his body and nod like a chick pecking at rice.
"First, the essence of the change of eras …"
The gods believed that the infinitely large Spirit World had infinite characteristics of power. Through the sea of collective unconsciousness of all intelligent beings on the planet, what was connected to this material world was only one side of the Spirit World.
It was easy to understand the periodic ebb and flow of spirituality, but the reason for the calamitous nature change might be because the Spirit World was like a cat taking a nap that accidentally turned over.
The result was that the Transcendents of that era were directly discarded by the World's Consciousness, which did not have an independent personality and only sought benefits and avoided harm!
After the change of eras and dynasties, most of the remnants of the previous dynasty faced the fate of being purged. Those who survived were only the "Great Powers" and the "Survivors".
The "Great Powers" were part of the True Gods, and the "Survivors" were the ancestors of the current era's humans.
The World's Consciousness refused to accept the remnants of the past, and beings like the Jondriks could only wander around alone for tens of thousands of years. Many places in the Shattered Star Sea had also become a veritable land abandoned by the world.
For example, a new branch grew out of a decaying body, but the old stump was still there, and no matter how much it was cut and grew, the root could not be cut off. The surviving remnant tribes were another new branch born from the old era, a tumor that competed for nutrients in the new world. In theory, they had to be purged, but in reality, it was like a terminal disease.
As for why modern humans and even wizards did not have any research records?
In the long scale of the world, humans had only lived for a few thousand years, and at most, tens of thousands of myths and epics were nothing. In other words, mortals did not deserve to experience the most profound changes in the world's attributes!
A complete world was divided into two sides, the physical side and the spiritual side.
The change of eras was most profound and direct on the spiritual side. The physical constants of a planet in the great universe would obviously not change with the change of the planet's era, and the technological power of the ancient era could still be maintained in this world.
As the eras changed, the part with the strongest spirituality would be harvested, and the technological power would become more and more important, until …
In the end, the two waved goodbye. Krutena smiled mysteriously.
"I'm very pleased to see your growth. I'll give you a mysterious gift, a gift that belongs to me."
