Inspectors always had a unique perspective to observe a world. Because they stood in a different position, they often paid special attention to details. Hao Ren was not surprised when he faced the Army of Chaos and the Festered in the wilderness. But when he saw the sun of Collow, he immediately regarded it as an important piece of information.
The world was still illuminated by a star.
This meant that there was at least a complete star-planetary system in the abnormal space called Collow. If Veronica's description was correct, then the planets here could be replaced by a series of broken floating space continents. But at least the sun in the sky was real: it was a complete and functioning celestial body.
The power of Chaos did not spread to the sun.
Hao Ren squinted. His strengthened physique allowed him to look directly at the light of the star without worrying about burning his eyes. It was just his human habit that made him do it. He looked at the sun and began to reevaluate the situation of the War of Chaos in Collow.
The war of thousands of years only continued on the earth. All the dark forces in this abnormal space were confined to one place. At least as far as he could see, the stars were not affected by the distortion of the laws. So what caused the land of Collow to be shrouded by this dark force?
Sir Morian noticed where Hao Ren was looking. His eyes changed slightly a few times. He could not help but think of the identity of the ancient guardian in front of him. "Please don't stare at the sun like that. The light of Ulo will burn your eyes. You have not seen the sun for many years. No, have you seen the sun before? "
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment before he realized that Ulo was probably a religious name for the sun in this world. Morian's question puzzled him. "Why do you think I've never seen the sun before?"
"It is said that the tide of Chaos ten centuries ago was unprecedented. Half of the world, except for the sanctum, was plunged into the everlasting night. For a hundred years, Ulo was covered by thick clouds. Humans relied on the power of magic and faith to survive in the darkness. In the place shrouded in the everlasting night, an entire generation or even several generations had never seen the sun. "
Hao Ren then understood. He looked indifferent. "Of course I have seen the sun, and many times."
And blew one up with my own hands, he added inwardly.
"My apologies," Sir Morian immediately bowed slightly and apologized sincerely.
"It's alright." Hao Ren waved his hand and continued to look at the land in the distance.
The airship's speed was faster than expected. Although its creator had yet to develop a fully enclosed cabin, there were runes scattered around the airship that could control airflow. These runes could not only block high-speed airflow but also reduce the airship's drag during flight to an incredible degree, thus increasing its speed. Soon, the western mountains had become an indistinguishable dark shadow at the end of his vision, and the land in front of Hao Ren was getting closer and closer to the "normal world."
They were flying over a plain. The vast land was full of vibrant vegetation. Two shining rivers ran across the plain and eventually converged into a half-moon-shaped lake. Cities and villages could be seen on both sides of the river. From such a high altitude, they looked like a pile of small wooden blocks on the ground. Around the 'wooden blocks' were pale yellow fields and pastures.
The crisscrossed roads connected the cities and villages. With Hao Ren's eyesight, he could even see the carriages and pedestrians on the roads.
All of this was shrouded in the light of the sun, Ulo, full of vitality and order.
Hao Ren looked back to the west. The western mountains were almost out of sight, but the pillar of light of Fort West was still clear. It was like a bright silver line, standing at the end of the dark blue sky. Below the dark blue sky was the border of Chaos.
If he had not just come from the realm of Chaos, he could hardly believe that the vibrant land below was the world shrouded in Chaos. Inside and outside the barrier, the world was divided into two distinct parts.
"No matter how many times I see it, it's a sight worthy of admiration." Sir Morian seemed to be more talkative after returning to the kingdom. He even took the initiative to talk to Hao Ren. "Look, this is the reason and result of us blocking the Chaos outside the barrier. This peaceful and peaceful place is our home. We only need to fight for ten years at the border, and our descendants can live in peace on this fertile land for nearly a century."
"But after a hundred years, they will come back."
"Then we will fight them again. Some of us will die, but our descendants will continue to fight."
Hao Ren turned around and looked at Sir Morian for a while. He had not talked much with the old knight in the past few days because the old knight's seriousness and rigidity had always made him difficult to get along with. But this time, Hao Ren seemed to feel the old knight's deep thoughts, or rather, the thoughts of many people in Collow.
He could not help but nod. "You all are really worthy of respect."
"We?" Morian was a little puzzled. "Why are you so emotional? Weren't you also a warrior fighting on the border of Chaos and Order a thousand years ago? And you should be a greater warrior than us. After all, not everyone can defend a temple to the last moment."
Hao Ren suddenly coughed awkwardly. "Ahem …"
But he immediately continued, "You are right. I am indeed a guardian. I guard many things, including the peace and order of Collow. So, knight a thousand years later, what do you think of the Chaos in this world? How do you think it came about? "
Hao Ren's words had an effect. Morian immediately became serious. He almost said a bunch of things without thinking. "All the sacred books have recorded that the evil giant Lockmarton was the culprit who caused the world to enter the dark side. He broke free from the shackles after breaking the earth, but he was also injured by the precautionary measures left by the goddess of creation. The ancient warden used a weapon given by the goddess to penetrate Lockmarton's head, causing the evil giant's mind to burst. His corrupted mind fell into the Sea of Carnos and became the dark side of Carnos. His sinful body scattered on the earth, his flesh and blood turned into ashes, and the ashes drifted with the wind, turning into the original Chaos and monsters. The so-called Tide of Chaos was actually the eternal nightmare that Lockmarton had after his death. Though he was dead, his scattered mind in the Sea of Carnos was still running. Every hundred years, his mind would produce a dream. In the dream, he thought he was still alive, so his body in the world would work again, and the Tide of Chaos was born. But a dream is always a dream. The power of Order left by the goddess will not allow the power of distortion to exist for a long time. So the Tide of Chaos will eventually dissipate, and the cycle will start again. "
Hao Ren listened to such a long story. He did not expect the knight Morian to say so much in one breath. Then he became very interested in the 'myth' that he heard.
Hao Ren did not expect that the people of Collow would explain the Chaos in this way. It was a mythical story, but there were parts that were worth thinking about and suspected to be the truth.
He thought of the First Born: an adult First Born did have the power to tear the entire planet apart, and their souls could still move independently for a period of time after the death of their bodies. They could even destroy all living beings in the world with their souls alone. From these points, the First Born was in line with the legend of Lockmarton.
But the details were not so consistent: at least as far as Hao Ren knew, the soul of the First Born could not survive for 10,000 years after leaving the body, and they had never manipulated a strange power like the Chaos.
While thinking, Hao Ren did not leave the old knight hanging. "You are reciting. Of course, I know what you are talking about. But I want to ask you, what do you think of the Chaos in this world?"
"Me? My personal opinion is that it is an enemy, a mortal enemy. "Morian shrugged." Only scholars and monks think about the problem. The task of the warrior is to get rid of the problem. "
Hao Ren suddenly felt that what the old knight said made a lot of sense!
While the conversation on the airship continued, they were about to cross the great plains in the west. At the end of the plains, a strange geological landscape suddenly jumped into Hao Ren's eyes.
His eyes were instantly drawn to it.
A large number of towering pillars stood on the ground. Those dark stone pillars were surrounded by clouds and light, and the power they exuded was particularly familiar.
The divine power of the goddess of creation.
