As soon as they heard that Baiyi was going to face an evil god, the Void burst into an uproar. Everyone was ready to discuss how the Fifth Walker could challenge a god-level foe with his current attributes. Only the Bard Walker, who was beside Baiyi, explained worriedly, "Theoretically speaking, there is no such thing as an evil god in this world. The only way to judge a god is to control the Laws. If there really was an evil god that could control the Laws, then our world would have long since fallen into chaos!"
"In other words, the so-called evil gods are either made up to deceive people, or some evil cult has used the name of a true god to commit crimes and tarnish the god's reputation. Therefore, there is no such thing as an evil god in this world!"
"So, you're saying that I'm going to face a true god? Or maybe it's the God of Power? " Baiyi retorted. "But you said that the God of Power is a benevolent deity, and I am a benevolent deity as well. I protect the weak, save the innocent, and punish the wicked. Even if the God of Power does descend upon this world, he won't come after me; he'll go after those bastards from Godsfall, right?"
"Why are you all so certain that this large-scale formation is going to summon something? Can't it just be a soul sacrifice formation? Can't it just be a super powerful undead? "The Lich Walker retorted.
"What can an undead do? It's worse than a Void Lord! "Someone argued with the Lich Walker.
"Stupid and narrow-minded! A super powerful undead combined with the corpses of an entire country can create an invincible army of undead that can spread death and despair across the world!"
"He's the Wise Mad King, not the Skeleton King! Why would he want to turn his own people into undead?"
The discussion in the Void became less and less technical as time went on. Baiyi could not be bothered to listen, so he left. According to Mr. Bear's senses, there were two nodes near the Void Lord's base that did not react so violently, so Baiyi decided to go check them out first.
However, he did not have too much expectations. For such a large-scale formation, observing only one or two of them was like looking at a leopard through a tube. It was very difficult to see the whole picture. If he could go to the few largest stones that represented the most critical nodes, he might be able to gain something. However, it was too far away, and he did not dare to leave the others and go alone at this time.
After Baiyi left, Little Mia and Nydore, who were supposed to be asleep, did not fall asleep. Baiyi had unintentionally placed their beds next to each other when he was making the bed, so the two little ones were now staring at each other with their big, beautiful eyes. Little Mia's little leopard, curled itself into a ball and rolled around the two, trying to act cute.
After staring at each other for a while, Nydore lowered her voice and mumbled something in the Fairy language. She did not use her body language, so Little Mia could not understand what she was saying. She tilted her head in confusion and muttered, "She's probably saying I'm cute, isn't she?"
Then, she replied politely, "Hello, you're just as pretty and cute. I love the color of your hair …" She reached out and gently stroked Nydore's silver hair.
Nydore's face reddened, and she pinched Mia's cheeks in return.
The two little ones did not speak the same language, but they could sense each other's friendliness, and they both giggled.
Just then, the Fairy Walker, who had heard the laughter, walked into the treehouse. She looked at the two giggling girls and asked, "Why aren't you two resting? What are you laughing about?"
"I greeted her, and she touched my hair. I pinched her cheeks. It was fun," Nydore explained.
"What did she say to you, Sister Mar-Mar?" Little Mia asked curiously.
"Nothing." The Fairy Walker shook her head. "Her name is Nydore, and she's my granddaughter. You're her aunt, aren't you? Uh … no, I guess you're her big sister? "
The Elf explained the situation to Nydore in the common tongue, then explained the situation to her in the Elven language. Nydore scowled and said, "But I'm 500 years old … and she's shorter than me …"
"Even if you're a thousand years old, you're still a little one. You're lucky to be a little sister," the Fairy Walker said with a smile as she stroked Nydore's hair.
"Huh? I'm the big sister now? " Little Mia said excitedly. She was the youngest in the family, and because of her short stature, she had always been treated like a little sister by others. But now, she heard that someone else was going to be her little sister? She was happy to hear that.
As the older sister, it was only natural for Mia to set an example and take good care of her new little sister. Mia took out her favorite hammerhead shark plushie from her storage pouch and handed it to Nydore in a friendly manner.
"Oh? It's so cute! " Nydore took the plushie from Mia and hugged it tightly in her arms. The cheetah cub, who had been rolling around on the bed, looked at the hammerhead shark plushie in Nydore's arms with a sour expression. The cheetah cub drooped its furry head on the bed and rubbed itself against the plushie listlessly.
As for the hammerhead shark plushie that a new girl had taken a liking to, its protruding eyes seemed to be sizing up the baby leopard with disdain, as if it was saying, "Tsk tsk, inferior creatures, why should the weak fight?"
Baiyi was unaware of the interaction between the girls. He quickly made his way to the nearest two nodes that Mr. Bear had marked. They were not altars; instead, there was a runic array on the ground. After a closer look, Baiyi realized that the runic array did not seem to have any connection to its surroundings. It seemed to be an array that was independent of the gigantic formation.
The specific effect was that when activated, it would spread a foul stench in the surroundings, effectively driving away any humans or animals that came close. As for the other part, it would automatically release a low-level fear spell, which also had the effect of driving away others.
'What's the meaning of this? 'Is it just to drive away random people? Is it just to prevent them from interfering? 'But the fact is, people who can be driven away by the stench and the low-level Fear Spell do not have the ability to destroy the formation. 'Why would it need to do that?'
Curious, Baiyi moved closer to the nodes and found that the runic array was similar. These runic arrays had nothing to do with the gigantic formation, and they were only meant to drive away random people.
Based on this deduction, Mr. Bear had placed many of the stones on the table. What was the Godsfall cult trying to achieve? It was a seemingly meaningless arrangement. What was the Godsfall cult trying to achieve? Was it just to drive away all living things? Moreover, it seemed as if it wanted to drive away all the living creatures in the forest.
What troubled Baiyi more was that these seemingly pointless interference nodes had severely affected Mr. Bear's results. The rocks that it had placed on the ground were no longer accurate, and the conclusions that it had drawn from them might change as well.
'That's really troublesome.'
At first, he thought he had figured out the Godsfall cult's goal. But now, it seemed that the situation had become more complicated. He wanted to go further and check out the bigger nodes, but the sky was getting dark. He had wasted the entire afternoon without doing anything.
After he patrolled the surroundings and confirmed that there were no more special discoveries for the time being, he returned to the elves' side. At this time, after an afternoon's sleep, the elves were refreshed. Most of them had swollen heads and were busy decorating their new homes.
When Mia saw Baiyi, she rushed up to him and gave him a big hug. Then, she looked at the busy fairies and asked curiously, "Why does everyone look like they're hurt? Weren't they all fine when we arrived? "
"Emmmm … Maybe it's because they don't sleep well," Baiyi explained, feeling a little guilty.
By then, the sky had turned completely dark. Little Mia, who was snuggling up to Baiyi, looked up at the sky, and exclaimed, "The night sky here is beautiful!"
"Is that so?" Baiyi looked up at the sky as well. It was beautiful, but it was all fake. To the people of this world, who had no concept of the cosmos or planets, it did not matter whether the sky was real or not.
Suddenly, the Astrologer, who had always been focused on sucking up to girls and showing off his shamelessness, said, "Sir Hope, please pay more attention to the sky. I think I've noticed something different!"
'So what if I haven't noticed it? Didn't you say that your astrology and whatnot are all lies? '
"Yes, they are, but when it comes to predicting one's fortune, they are all lies. However, when it comes to predicting the weather, seasons, and the reproduction cycle of living things, they are still somewhat reliable," the Astrologer explained.
"This month is the Month of Plagues, and all living things will grow halved?" Baiyi asked.
"More or less. Anyway, the stars here don't move in a regular pattern, and some of them are flickering strangely!" The astrologer said excitedly, "You also know that the starry sky of this world is fake, and its movement and flickering are also carried out according to the established rules. If there are no special circumstances, it will not change."
"According to the records of the Astrological Association, there has only been one case of irregular changes in the stars in history, and that was during the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire, 6,000 years ago. It was recorded by a Rohlserlian sorcerer. To be more specific, it was caused by the activation of a huge, empire-level formation, which produced a huge amount of energy that affected the changes in the stars," the Astrologer continued.
