Under the envious gazes of the players, Cyber walked up to the Elf Skeleton.
He bowed to the other party and reached out his hand to touch the other party's armor.
The moment he came into contact with the armor, a faint golden glow blossomed on the skeleton, including the equipment and the skeleton... Everything turned into photons in an instant, scattering in all directions.
Cyber was stunned.
The players behind him were stunned as well.
However, at this moment, the faint golden photons gradually condensed and formed a sparkling and translucent crystal in mid-air.
Cyber subconsciously extended his hand and the crystal fell into his hand.
It was warm and refreshing.
The moment he touched it, Cyber felt a sense of satisfaction, calmness, and a little sadness and regret in his heart.
At the same time, a message regarding the crystal appeared in his mind:
[Donal's Crystal of Remnant Thoughts]
[This is a crystal fragment formed by the remnant thoughts of the Sword of Judgment, Donal, at the last moment of his life. It records part of his will. Only those with the same bloodline as him can use their own blood to activate it.]
Sword of Judgment, Donal? Crystal of Remnant Thoughts?
Cyber's heart skipped a beat.
After thinking for a while, he cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the crystal.
In the next moment, the crystal emitted a dazzling radiance that enveloped Cyber. His gaze became confused in an instant.
The crystal flickered continuously and Cyber's expression changed along with it.
After a full ten minutes, the radiance gradually faded and Cyber woke up from his daze.
He looked at the crystal again with a complicated gaze. He sighed and turned to the players behind him.
"Everyone, who brought a Magic Crystal? Quickly connect it to the Floating City's Magic Projection."
The players were stunned for a moment before they followed his instructions.
After the communication was restored, Cyber and the others appeared in the Floating City's Command Room. He faced the Magic Crystal and picked up the Crystal of Remnant Thoughts that he just obtained.
"Everyone, I found a remnant of the Thunder Demigod, Sword of Judgment, Donal, a Crystal of Remnant Thoughts!"
"I think … I know what happened to the Thunder Tribe."
…
Dingyuan, Command Room.
The upper echelons of various guilds were gathered here, their gazes fixed on the Remnant Crystal that Cyber had brought.
The Saintess of Life, Alice, walked up to the crystal, picked it up with both hands, and placed it in the strengthening array that she had prepared beforehand.
Then, she chanted an ancient incantation, cut her finger, and dripped a drop of blood on it.
A resplendent light once again blossomed on the crystal. At the next moment, countless photons flew out from the crystal, forming an illusory figure.
It was a handsome elf wearing armor and holding a sword with both hands.
His expression was firm, and his somewhat empty eyes looked forward. His lips moved slightly, and a deep voice resounded in the command room.
"Later clansmen … I am Judgement Sword, Donal Thunder."
"When you see this remnant thought, I should already be dead. To be able to come here, I think … you should also be looking for the whereabouts of the Thunder Fairy."
"You must be confused by everything here, and worried about the survival of our tribe."
"Don't be anxious … Next, let me tell you the story of our Thunder Tribe …"
"After the shameful Iteo joined forces with many gods of faith to betray Her Holiness the Mother Goddess, as one of the Eight Divine Messengers of the elven race, I, like my companions, began to prepare for the migration of the elves, and thought of ways to awaken the slumbering Her Holiness the Mother Goddess."
"This Lost Plane that once belonged to the Arcane Civilization was the location I chose."
"That's right, I called it the Lost Plane. This plane is filled with traces left behind by the Arcane Civilization. I suspect that it was once one of the planes that the Arcane Civilization modified to escape the pursuit of the Megalosaurus and the Titans. It has the ability to hide its coordinates and evade the detection of myths."
"And this has also provided an excellent refuge for our Thunder Tribe."
"After coming here, we settled down. While researching the ancient knowledge left behind by the Arcane Civilization, we licked the wounds from the war, made preparations to revive Her Holiness the Mother Goddess, and searched for the whereabouts of the Arcane Civilization …"
"That's right, we searched for the whereabouts of the Arcane Civilization."
"After finding this plane, I discovered that the Arcane Civilization here wasn't destroyed. Instead, it seemed to have disappeared overnight. However … I don't think that they met with some kind of disaster, but more like they left this place."
"They … where could they have gone? I'm very curious. "
"While leading my people to rest and recuperate in this plane, I've been searching for the answer to this question. Because I understand that since I was able to find this plane, then … this plane can't be considered truly safe."
"I need to find the whereabouts of the Arcane Civilization. Perhaps … that can provide us elves with a better refuge than the Lost Plane! Or perhaps … we can find the former Arcane Civilization. They once received the grace of Her Holiness the Mother Goddess, and perhaps we can also receive their help. "
"This isn't a simple task, and I've always been worried that the Lost World might be discovered by the increasingly powerful Iteo at any time."
"Fortunately, the inheritance left behind by the Arcane Civilization is indeed powerful. Not only is there a plane-level magic array that can conceal the plane's coordinates, there's also a soul array that can deceive the underworld. This allows my people's tracks to be kept secret to the greatest extent …"
"Just like that, we've spent three hundred years here peacefully."
"About fifty years ago, we finally found clues to the whereabouts of the Arcane Civilization in the Lost Plane. An elven ranger found an ancient book in a collapsed library. It recorded a way to leave the Universe of Segers!"
"That's right! A way to leave the Universe of Segers! The reason the Arcane Civilization disappeared was because they found a way to leave the Universe of Segers! "
"In the records, it's a passage that the King of Gods, His Holiness Neo, left behind in the Abyss that leads to the outside of the universe. As long as the correct method is used, it can be opened! Of course … that requires a great deal of energy and a great price. "
"With the help of the information left behind by the Arcane Civilization, I found this passage. It's located in the Abyss, and the Arcane Civilization also left behind an ancient teleportation array that leads there."
"However … the teleportation array has lost its effect, and the plane passage is already in a half-sealed state. Even a true god would have to pay a great price to open it, and … it's still closing."
"At most, in thirty years, the seal will be completely firm, and the passage will be completely closed. At that time … even a true god would be helpless. I suspect that this should be some kind of self-healing mechanism of the universe … After all, this so-called passage is more like a crack that's been forcefully torn apart."
"In the next ten years or so, we first used the knowledge left behind by the Arcane Civilization to repair the teleportation array. We tried many times and succeeded in sending some of our people out, but unfortunately … we lost contact with the people who left, and no one was able to return."
"The only thing we can be sure of is that it should be safe outside the passage, because the soulfires left behind by the people who volunteered to explore the way haven't been extinguished. They're just infinitely weak …"
"This gives our people a chance to migrate further!"
"However, I'm hesitant. I don't know if we'll be able to awaken Her Holiness in another universe after leaving the Segers."
"Fortunately, not long after, our plan to revive Her Holiness … also came to an end."
"The method of revival I chose was' backtracking '."
"I believe that, as creations of Her Holiness, we must have Her Holiness' mark in the depths of our blood."
"Through backtracking of our souls, I think we can find the trace of the power of law that Her Holiness used when she first created the elves."
"I believe that as long as we can find this trace of power of law, we can use the resonance of the law to reawaken Her Holiness …"
"This was the inspiration that the believers of the true god gave me when they awakened Her Holiness."
"Unfortunately … we failed."
"Not only that, but due to the huge energy of the ritual, our revival even destroyed part of the concealment array of the lost plane, directly causing the coordinates to be exposed …"
"We … once again ushered in a war with the Eternal Overlords."
"Hundreds of years had passed, and she had become even more powerful. Left with no other choice, I could only sacrifice the mana and potential of the entire lost plane, including myself and the elven souls that I had collected over the past hundreds of years to revive Her Holiness the Mother Goddess … I forcefully opened the seal and sent the surviving tribesmen out, and completely closed the passage to leave this universe."
"My people who came later, I failed. I didn't succeed in awakening Her Holiness, and I don't know if the people who escaped will survive …"
"If possible, I hope you can pass this Crystal of Remnant Will to Diana, Eris, or Orloss."
"I would be extremely grateful …"
"I've sorted out all the magical knowledge of the arcane civilization that I've collected, and I've recorded it all in this Crystal of Remnant Will."
"This … Take it as my reward. My demigod companions will help you extract it and hand it over to you."
"Of course, if Her Holiness has been revived, I hope you can sacrifice it to our great Her Holiness …"
"The benevolent and kind Her Holiness will definitely bestow upon you more generous rewards than I can provide."
At this point, the image slowly dissipated.
There was silence in the command room.
Alice had a complicated expression. She sighed softly, bowed deeply toward the slowly dissipating image, and drew a symbol of the Scepter of Life on her chest.
The players also stood up, bowed to the image, and drew a symbol of the Scepter of Life on their chests.
"Another elven demigod who sacrificed herself …"
"I see … The Thunder Tribe has already left the Universe of Segers …"
"Beyond the universe … Is there an even larger map in Elven Kingdom?"
They were filled with emotions as they discussed spiritedly.
"Leave it to me. I will sacrifice it to Her Holiness the Mother Goddess. If I'm not wrong, the coordinates of the passage and the method to open it are probably left behind. Perhaps only Her Holiness the Mother Goddess can open it."
Alice said.
The players looked at each other and nodded.
At the same time, all the players who participated in the mission received the same system notification:
[Ding!]
[You have completed the hidden mission "Donal's Last Wish"]
[You have received rewards: 200,000 contribution points, 5 special prize pool lottery tickets, free exchange of arcane knowledge x3]
[Ding!]
[Goddess Eve's favorability towards you has increased by 1]
[Ding!]
[A new exchange category "Arcane Knowledge" has been unlocked in the Exchange Shop. All players can use contribution points to exchange.]
[Player Cyber can exchange for all arcane knowledge for free (Note: Only once per day)]
"What the hell? 200,000 contribution points?! And the goddess' favorability? "
The players who were still exploring were stunned for a moment before they could not help but cheer.
The players in the command room were also pleasantly surprised.
Although they also felt sorry for Donal's experience, the joy of the reward quickly overwhelmed the emotions brought by the story.
It was only when they saw Alice's sad expression that they calmed down and mourned.
"So … what is arcane knowledge?"
Only Demacia could not help but mutter.
What he received was everyone rolling their eyes in unison as if to say:
"Keep your voice down."
…
"So … they've found it?"
In the Underworld, the Kingdom of Death. Hella sat on the throne with a black chess piece in one hand. She lazily swept the chessboard while looking at the incarnation of a certain true god sitting opposite her with great interest.
It was none other than Eve.
In front of the two mythical figures, the scene of the players' exploration appeared in mid-air and slowly dissipated.
"Yes, they've found it."
Eve nodded and placed a chess piece on the chessboard.
Hella raised her eyebrows and placed a chess piece as well.
"I don't understand. Since you've already found the lost dimension of the Thunder Elves, why do you want them to explore it again?"
Eve smiled.
"Of course, it's to let them participate. This is also their pleasure. If I were to announce everything directly, it would be too monotonous."
"And … I also hope that the story of the Thunder Elves can spread …"
"Compared to the background story announced directly by the officials, this kind of story where they participate in personally is more resonant."
As she spoke, she stretched out her other hand. In her palm, there was a crystal that was exactly the same as the Crystal of Remnant Thoughts that the players discovered.
Stroking the crystal, Eve sighed and put it away.
"Your Holiness Eve, I have a question."
Hella suddenly said.
As she spoke, she looked at Eve.
"Do you think … the place where the surviving Thunder Elves left is the place where you summoned the Chosen One?"
Eve smiled slightly, and her gaze gradually became distant.
"Who knows?"
"Does that mean their exploration is over?"
"No."
Eve shook her head.
"Their exploration and development … I'm afraid it has just begun."
Hella was stunned, then realized something and smiled.
She looked at the chess game on the chessboard, raised her eyebrows, and said,
"Well, you win again."
"I just played more."
Eve said with a smile.
With that, she stood up from her seat.
"Are you … ready to begin?"
Hella suddenly asked.
"Yes."
Eve nodded.
"How long will it take?"
"At least … it should be ten years."
"I understand. I hope that after ten years, I can see you improve further …"
"Thank you."
Eve smiled slightly, her figure slowly dissipated, and she left the Underworld.
