Xia Xiu felt that the huge stars were surrounding him, as if he was in an endless deep sea.

Countless touches came from all directions, as if there was an invisible force caressing his skin. His nerve endings felt the indescribable pressure, as if every cell was stretched infinitely, and he was in an inescapable state.

Under oppression.

Under this oppression, his vision began to blur, as if through layers of fog, he could vaguely see a magnificent palace.

The palace flashed before his eyes, like an ancient temple growing out of flesh and blood.

On that huge flesh-and-blood planet, [Ion's Miracle] stood impressively.

This majestic palace grows in flesh and blood and blooms in the endless void, appearing holy and majestic.

Entire cities seemed to grow from the body of a flesh-and-blood god, spreading across the entire planet.

This is——[Inner Temple]!

Its existence is very counter-intuitive.

Forged by the sarkic sorcerer Ion, the planetary city-state rises from the immensity he covers.

It is not composed of countless twisted souls as rumored, and every brick is filled with endless wailing and pain.

On the contrary, the city-state buildings on the Dragon Mother all shine with ancient and sacred brilliance.

Moreover, it is extremely luxurious!

[Inner Temple] At the core of the main city, there stands a magnificent temple and towering walls.

The entire temple is made of exquisite stone and exudes an awe-inspiring sacred atmosphere.

The front entrance of the temple is spacious and solemn, supported by two huge copper pillars. The capitals are decorated with gorgeous lotus patterns, which seem to tell the visitors endless history and glory.

The walls of the temple are carved with intricate patterns and symbols.

The walls were inlaid with gems, which shone brightly under the starlight, illuminating the entire palace.

Surrounding the entire city is a magnificent Great Wall. This wall is made of jasper and shines with crystal clear light.

The foundations of the city wall were decorated with various precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second foundation was sapphire, the third foundation was green onyx, the fourth was emerald, the fifth foundation was onyx, the sixth was ruby, the seventh was yellow sapphire, and the eighth

It is beryl, the ninth is red jade, the tenth is jade, the eleventh is agate, and the twelfth is amethyst.

These gems sparkle under the starry sky, like stars in the night sky, dotting the entire city with splendor.

Each of the city's twelve gates is made of a whole pearl. Each gate is a huge pearl, emitting a soft radiance, as if welcoming every soul that enters this sacred city.

The streets in the city are paved with pure gold, like clear glass, shining with endless light under the reflection of stars.

There is a river flowing out from the main city of [Inner Temple], nourishing the entire main city, and then divided into four channels, extending to the entire planet.

The land surrounded by the first river, there is gold;

The gold in that land is good, and there are also pearls and onyx stones.

A place surrounded by a second river, where there are two fruit trees;

It was a twin tree, but unfortunately there were no fruits on the tree.

The land surrounded by the third river, where there are all kinds of beautiful trees;

Not only are these trees pleasing to the eye, but the fruits they bear are edible.

A place surrounded by the fourth river, where birds are singing and flowers are fragrant;

Wrapped in this river is...a land flowing with milk and honey.

When Xia Xiu saw this magnificent city of miracles, he felt an indescribable shock in his heart.

The Witch King of the Inner Temple...

Archwarlock Ion...

"He...he really created a paradise for mankind."

A paradise that can support humans, with rich vegetation, beautiful trees and ample water.

With abundant pastures and luxuriant livestock, fertile farmland and abundant crop harvests, Paradise has a prosperous living environment. People can enjoy abundant material resources and live a carefree life. Paradise is filled with peace and prosperity.

This is the most beautiful miracle and the most perfect blessing that grace has given to mankind.

He also had a glimpse of how magnificent the miracles erected by the founder of Sarkia were.

"Steal the power of the Dragon Mother and nurture thousands of humans!"

The mother of dragons is born to kill, which is the principle of Tao.

The mother of dragons is "heaven and earth".

He gives birth to all things and destroys all things.

Plants grow, bloom, bear fruit, and eventually wither and die; animals are born, grow, reproduce, and eventually age and die.

Life and death are a cycle, a destiny given by God, and a manifestation of the essence of the immensity He covers.

He is heaven and earth, and the plunderer of all things.

He is the thief of all things.

Just like the changes of heaven and earth, the rotation of the four seasons, and the laws of nature, they are constantly "depriving" and "transforming" the form and state of all things.

For example, the replacement of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the cycle of growth and death, all show the process of heaven and earth depriving and changing all things.

All things are the deprivers of man.

All things are stolen by man.

Human beings need to rely on all things to survive in this world.

Human beings obtain natural resources, animals and plants for food, clothing, tools, etc., which are deprived from all living things.

On the contrary, man is also the depriver of all things.

Man is the thief of all things.

Human beings use their wisdom and power to obtain resources from nature, make and use tools, and transform the environment, thus depriving other creatures and some of nature's resources.

Circulation and change, existence and deprivation - [You should practice the way of stripping!]

The miracle of Ion is indeed...

"The way to observe the sky, the way to observe the sky——"

Sarkic was supposed to walk on the "path of stripping" he left behind.

That way of stripping away is not just negative deprivation, but also positive giving; not the way that deprives everything, but the way that holds the balance high in deprivation and giving.

Has Ian ever stripped away all that is good?

Has Ian ever allowed anything evil?

Once upon a time, St. Cassius Celia followed in the footsteps of Ion.

He said, I should practice the way of separation, and doing nothing against evil is evil.

The purple-robed emperor is a depriver, but he is a depriver of human beings, and he is the enemy of flesh and blood.

So he chose to prove the truth with his own life, defend the core program of sensuality, and assassinate the purple-robed emperor.

He successfully defended the will left by Ion and defended all the proud existence of Sark.

"So, what now?"

The extremely sad voice resounded in the spirit of the fourth sword holder in heaven.

Xia Xiu looked back subconsciously as he looked down at the incredible city.

The scene began to collapse, new scenes began to cover his meaning, and he was able to cut off this covering.

But he did not choose to do this because he did not perceive any hostility or any threat.

Click——

*******

Suddenly, a new scene appeared.

The sky is full of yellow sand rushing towards my face.

Then, he saw someone.

The man had gray hair and gray eyes, a high nose bridge and a slightly aquiline tip, showing an unyielding temperament.

There were several deep scars on his cheeks and chin, and he knelt down on a cracked ground with thorns on his back.

Above him, there is a magnificent [Floating City].

The words of judgment began to spread from the City of Heaven to the surrounding areas.

[Gaius Cassius Clea.

You were an outstanding officer in the glorious history of the Oletin Empire, serving the empire's territory and glory.

However, it was you, the commander of the Praetorian Guards, who committed a heinous crime against the Holy Emperor Caligula.
