Chapter 40: The Phantom of the Past
Although the Sky Blue Pearl has become unknown in the continent of Mycrov, after obtaining it, Joshua searched through all the ancient books he could find and obtained some clues from some almost lost legends.
After completing these things through the system, I want to say that Joshua finally knew a lot of things in the ancient books, the ancient myth that had almost been completely forgotten.
——For example, the era before the Star Falling Era.
Before the Era of Star Falling, there were two eras, one was the [Three Hundred Years of Lost] without any classics, and the other was the [Era of Light], which was previously lost, and the other was the [Era of Light], which was the legendary glorious before the Era of Lost.
The three hundred years of loss were separated by the glory and the star fall, and the glory era was the most peak moment in the legend. At that time, the black forest on the earth was not so rampant, but just a characteristic natural phenomenon in the south. Under the leadership of [Sages] and his [Thirteen Saints], magic technology spread throughout the world. Everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, and everyone had the luxury of pursuing their dreams.
In the legend, humans at that time could go to the stars like the Karlis, and with the help of magic, traveling through the void and the world, exploring the endless multiverse. This prosperous atmosphere reached its peak after the sages created the [Holy Light] and [Runes].
The holy light did not actually exist in this world before it was lost for three hundred years. It is a heritage created by sages and the most powerful manifestation of the power of order. The sages informed the whole world of how to cultivate the holy light and promised that as long as the heart is towards the light and hates evil, they can possess the power of the holy light].
As the sages said, the holy light has no threshold, unlike the fighting spirit that requires bloodline and talent, and from the magic that requires soul resonance frequency and sensitive thinking. If you want to obtain the power of the holy light, you only need to be firm. You only need to be firm in your heart to be kind and order, and you can have the power to resist chaos and evil. This achievement overturned everyone's imagination and even allowed the power of [Sage] to reach a new peak. Under the leadership of him and his disciples, the world has moved towards glory called [Glory].
But good times don't last long, just as the sun rises and the flames burn out, and the prosperous era passes, then decline will follow.
The reason for the decline is not recorded even in ancient books, but according to Joshua's speculation, it is probably related to the abyss, because the information about the abyss has only increased since then. It can be inferred that the demons from the Abyss of Eternal Destruction attacked the world and were defeated by the humans led by the sages, which also caused deep trauma to the world of Mycrov. The Sky Blue Pearl is the strange thing obtained by the sages when they counterattacked the abyss. He gave it to his third saint and left the inheritance of the Chaos Guardian until now.
In his previous life, Joshua's advanced [Hero Profession·Rainbow Swordsman] also had some connection with that era. He had vaguely heard some rumors about sages. In this life, he advanced to the direct inheritance of sages [Chaos Guardian], and even held the sky blue pearl. He said that he felt a breath similar to the pearl, so there must be no mistakes.
At the point of the central vertical pit, the surging magic power flowed endlessly, and even condensed into almost substantial barriers and mist fog. Perhaps Joshua and the others were lucky. They happened to catch up with the period when the magic power was fluctuating and falling. The barriers and mist had dissipated, allowing them to clearly see the scene at the bottom.
"Go down."
Joshua said simply, without any hesitation, he had already started to move his hands and feet, as if he was eager to try: "I have come here, I must go and see it."
The others thought about it carefully. They had been walking for so long and came to the deepest part of the pyramid. Now they have seen a obviously very important central area. If they don’t explore it, it would be a little stupid.
Even though the magic lightning looks terrible, it is not too strong in the end. They are all golden strong men, how could they be afraid of this level of danger?
So everyone followed Joshua down.
Controlling the Dou Qi and turning into a red stream of light, Qiao Xiuya took Rin and jumped down from the platform without any haste. He was about 1,500 meters away from the bottom. From this aspect, it can also be seen how huge this moving fortress is.
The people slowly descended. The more they fell, the better their bodies were, the more magic they were around, and Rin's face became more and more beautiful - the human form of the Divine Machinery, it was easy to absorb these free energy to replenish physical strength.
“Temperature is rising.”
After keenly realizing this, Joshua found that the temperature around him was getting warmer and warmer.
You should know that in the desolate world outside the pyramid, the temperature in the world had long dropped to a terrifying level of ice condensation out of thin air and frost in the white ground. However, after entering the pyramid, the temperature became more and more suitable and more comfortable. Before, the temperature in the halls they passed through was barely above zero, but below this vertical pit, it was 24 degrees, which was very suitable for human life.
"The power of order has also become much stronger, and the aura similar to the Sky Blue Pearl is getting closer and closer."
Joshua's eyes were slightly condensed. He observed the steel city getting closer and closer to him, looking at the system from the corner of his eyes, showing a new state appeared on his body.
[Order protection: As a life of order, you have received an inexplicable force to protect it, with all attributes 2.
You have the characteristics of unburned fire, you have the order-side hero profession, Chaos Guardian, and you are in a high concentration of order power environment.
You have met the linkage status conditions.
Purify the Blazing Light: Holy Power Blessing, You Damage to the Enemies on the Chaos Side 3
——The power of the sky, the order of the rings]
The Karlis people were invaded by the evil gods of the void. In order to resist chaos, it was very normal for them to pursue the power of order, especially the sun they originally worshiped. As the source of all natural power, the worship of the sun has always been closely related to order.
This is indeed a very logical thing, but Joshua never expected that the power of order held by the Karlis people was actually related to the Sky Blue Pearl - even the sages! The [Sages of Glory], which only appears in classics, has no name, no image, and even the legendary deeds are unclear, and no one can confirm the inheritance, even the holy light cannot prove its existence.
“Huhuhuhu——”
Accompanied by the surging wind, the red light spots slowly descended in the vertical pit, and finally landed in the steel-cast city. Immediately afterwards, Moria and the elves also fell down together, standing beside Joshua.
"I didn't expect that these are rune equipment that controls the flow of magic, not houses, half of them or creatures."
Standing in the middle of the steel street, Joshua carefully looked at the surrounding situation. He quickly saw the essence of these seemingly magnificent tall buildings. These buildings were covered with complex rune arrays, and countless magic powers followed the control of runes and rushed towards other parts of the fortress.
The warrior was a little confused: "There is no house, so if that's the case, then where is the God Machine and Ms. Clayel's natural cycle?"
"It's still further down...it should be right below here."
Rin's voice was a little hesitant. Because the magic flow around him was too huge, he was a little afraid to confirm: "This pyramid is too big. We have been walking for so long, and it should be just in the lower middle area of it. The breath of the divine machine I noticed is very huge... No, is it a divine machine?"
At the end, the boy closed his eyes in confusion and started to sense again.
"So too."
Clayel, who was standing next to Moria, also nodded, and then she wondered: "Low... how should we go in and find a downward passage?"
"Or it's just like you open the door, let's set out a channel?"
When talking about this, Clayel made a rare joke.
“No need.”
Just as Joshua and others were thinking about their next move, a voice with a slight electronic vibrato came from the top of everyone's heads. "I'll just take you there."
"who?"
Joshua was shocked to find someone who could bypass his perception and came to their side silently.
Of course, what surprised the warrior even more was that the voices of others appeared in this steel city where he had confirmed that no one was.
Moria and Clayel were also alert, but looking at their faces, they seemed to not understand what this sentence meant at all. When they noticed this, Joshua realized that the system was not just the words, but the voice of the speech was translated together.
And just as everyone was alert for this voice, a translucent shadow with a little blue light slowly appeared in front of everyone.
This shadow was really just a shadow at the beginning, a strange force flowing between the shadows, but as the power gathered, a translucent figure emitting a slight blue light gradually formed.
It was a female Karlis. Her figure was a little blurred at first, but with the constant filling of energy, it gradually became delicate. A pair of black wings stretched out from behind her waist and trembled slightly. She was wearing a white experimental robe. Her hair looked pale and blue. The wind was obviously strong around her, but it did not flutter at all.
She is a magic projection.
