Volume 7: The Inverted Man Chapter 16: The Big Spender
Weighing the bird-shaped gold jewelry in his hand, Kraven quickly returned to reality, picking an open space at random, setting up an altar, and performing the sacrifice ceremony.
Calderon, the city of the dead hidden secrets, for the “River of Eternal Darkness” and the vague figures wandering in it, he temporarily did not have the idea of in-depth exploration, because he still has more important things to do, there is also a key question I want to ask the “Goddess of the Night”. The Night Goddess”.
Soon, he performed the ritual, allowing the candle flame to combine with the spiritual material to form a “door of sacrifice and bestowal”.
Without hesitation, Klein placed the bird-shaped gold jewelry into the wind and let it pass through the slowly opening door, disappearing into the infinite darkness.
In the next second, he was acutely aware that he had been forcibly dragged into the dream world.
At the center of the dream was a gothic palace that seemed to merge with the surrounding darkness; it was beautifully detailed and drably colored, yet not unglamorous.
Klein stepped through clumps of night-scented grasses and deep-sleeping flowers and stepped into this palace.
In the deepest part of the hall, the “Goddess of the Night” sat on an ancient high-backed chair, still wearing the long black dress that was layered but not complicated.
The sparkles on the dress and the glitter on the dome, walls and columns of the palace reflected each other, creating a quiet and dreamy starry sky.
The “Goddess of the Night”, whose face seemed to be covered with layers of thin veil, held the bird-shaped gold jewelry and slowly stood up, walked down the steps and walked in front of Klein.
K’s voice sounded like a serenade:
”What is it you wish to ask?”
Klein politely removed his bowler hat and bowed slightly:
”I want to know if the grayish mist that envelops the ‘River of Eternal Darkness’ is related to that ‘Lord of Mysteries’.”
Also known as the “Blessed Life Xuanhuang Heavenly Father”.
The head of the “Goddess of Darkness” made it hard to see, but intuitively, Klein felt that K seemed to smile:
”Yes, and it’s not just the ‘River of Eternal Darkness’ that’s shrouded in gray and white mist, the city behind that door in Banshee Harbor and the entire Western Continent are all shrouded in gray and white mist.”
Klein hesitated and said:
”Is this a seal?”
The dream projection of the “Goddess of Darkness” nodded:
”Yes, with the exception of the ‘Source Fortress’ and the ‘Chaos Sea’, all the rest of the source material has been sealed in the Western Continent by that ‘Lord of Mysteries’. ”
”The River of Eternal Darkness,” “The Mother’s Nest,” “The City of Calamity,” “The World of Shadows.” “Land of Disorder,” “Wilderness of Knowledge,” and “Key of Light” were all sealed to the Western Continent by the Heavenly Father? Isn’t that too much? It’s a big deal. …… No wonder the city behind that door in Banshee Harbor looks like the former Magic City. …… It’s the “City of Calamity” affecting that city in reality, as well as Banshee. And then, in a way, they have also changed in some way? Klein was struck with a sense of wonder and amazement.
When he saw the scene behind the door in Banshee, he suspected that it had something to do with the Western Continent, and based on the clue that Banshee was the seat of the Red Angel Medici family, he suspected that the door was a reflection of the source material of the “City of Calamity”.
Silent for a moment, Klein did not hide his feelings, frankly sighed:
”The power of that ‘Lord of Mysteries’ is beyond my imagination ……”
”How could such a person who could be called a pillar of the universe in the old days fall without a sound?”
The dream projection of the “Goddess of Darkness” shook its head:
”Not without a sound.”
”From the clues we have now, we can deduce that K fell together with that ‘God’ in the ancient era.”
”The corpse of that ‘God’ formed the first ‘Blasphemous Slab’ in the ‘Sea of Chaos’, and next to the slate was the uniqueness of the ‘Stealer’ pathway.”
In other words, in the middle of the First Age, the “Lord of Mysteries” and the “God” had an unusually fierce but quiet battle, and both eventually fell? This explains why the ancient Sun God, when he came out of the ‘Sea of Chaos’, possessed or grazed the uniqueness of the path of the “Stealer”, the “God” of the ancient age from the “Lord of Mysteries” ripped from the …… Klein asked in a slightly puzzled manner as his thoughts wandered:
”Why do the K’s want to kill each other? The same pillars, and belong to the path of dissimilarity, there should not be a conflict that can not be resolved between you and me.”
The dream projection voice of the “Goddess of the Night” said softly and soothingly:
”Convergence is instinct.”
”The higher the level, the stronger the instinct.”
”That ‘Lord of Secrecy’ and the ‘God’ in the ancient age both had the instinct to uncontrollably re-collect together and become the entire universe incarnate, the instinct of the original Creator.”
The more powerful, the crazier? On top of being cunning, powerful, terrifying, and full of wisdom, there was also such a side to the “Blessed Beings”? Klein thought for a moment and said:
”That ‘Lord of Secrecy’ and the ‘God’ in the ancient era should both be different sides of the original Creator in essence?”
The dream projection of the “Goddess of Darkness” said in a voice with a soothing undertone:
”It might be more accurate to use the analogy of different personalities of the same being.”
”The original Creator was the Creator and the End of the Universe, the Day and the Night, the Sacred Light and the Fallen Abyss, the aggregation of all contradictory concepts and symbols.”
”Therefore, k has a natural tendency to split beyond its control, and when it does, it has a strong tendency to converge.”
”In histories even older than the one in which we once existed, the sleeping Original Creator has naturally split into multiple personalities, which are also in a state of slumber, but have begun to indirectly influence the world by utilizing the power and extraordinary characteristics under their control, and have done much to prepare for the true split that will take place upon the awakening of the Original Creator. ”
”Of these, the most powerful and active were ‘God’ and the ‘Lord of Mysteries’, the latter having another honorific name in the Western Continent.”
”In the early-middle part of the First Age, the K’s should have had additional, plural source qualities mastered through different methods, which made the K’s instinct to converge even stronger, to the point of being unable to control themselves, and launching operations against each other.”
”According to the research of the ‘Ancient Sun God’, the pillar is the highest level at which one’s state can be stabilized. If the Old Sun exceeds this limit, even if it only holds one more portion of another source quality, it will inevitably be controlled by the aggregated instincts and cannot be reversed.”
”No one knows exactly how that battle went, not even the Seven Lights of the Spirit World have any way of knowing. All we know is that since then, the two old days that could be called pillars have completely disappeared, and the rest of the source matter outside of the ‘Chaos Sea’ and the ‘Source Fortress’ have been sealed by the power of the ‘Source Fortress’ to the West Continent – the territory where the ‘Lord of Mysteries’ once ruled.”
”Such an arrangement led to the problem that no Sequence 0 in this world could become the old days and fight against the Outer Gods before the ‘Lord of Secrecy’ and ‘God’ reappeared to lift and break the seal of the Western Continent. ”
”As the end gets closer and closer, this problem forces all the true gods to cultivate a ‘Lord of Secrecy’ or ‘God’ to come out, and the previous ‘Lord of Secrecy’ ‘ and ‘God’ would have a high possibility of awakening within the k’s.”
这……所以，封印其余源质是 “天尊 “有意做的，防止后世的序列0真神们刻意避开自己所在的途径，扼杀新 “诡秘之主 “的诞生？ And as long as there is a new “Lord of Secrecy” is born, k will have a high probability of resurrection and return, completely awakened …… This is also too insidious and too much, right? In a way, this kind of arrangement is not afraid of being known, know the more existence, the more will tend to support a “secret lord” out as soon as possible, lest in the end, there are no years left to control their respective corresponding source quality, can not become the old days …… Klein! The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the “Fusheng Xuanhuang Heavenly Father” was extremely terrifying.
This caused him to exclaim in his heart:
”Worthy of being a pillar level old days …… that can make the ‘God of Lights’ fall into the current situation.”
Klein then asked:
”Then why don’t you support a ‘Lord of Secrecy’ to come out in the Fourth Age?”
He actually already knew the answer to this question, because as time passed, the wills of the “Heavenly Father” and “God”, as the different personalities of the original Creator, were also in constant decline. The nearer the end, the weaker the corresponding will is, and the more likely it is that those who come after them will be able to fight against it, suppress it, and not lose themselves outright.
The fact that Adam waited until recently to be promoted to the rank of “Imagineer” is proof of this.
The dream projection of the “Goddess of Darkness” brought on a bit of a smile:
”At that time, Amon and Bertram were reluctant, and the K’s wanted to make all kinds of preparations and wait until the end was near before attempting it.”
”And Salinger intended to indirectly utilize the ‘River of Eternal Darkness’ to fuse the ‘Red Priestess’ uniqueness and create a new path to the old days, and then the k’s went mad, no longer able to restrain themselves from ‘the Dusk’ and ‘Darkness’ pathways of convergent longing.”
”The God of Death was also forced to do nothing, on the one hand, the end of the day is only a thousand years, on the other hand, the “River of Eternal Darkness” is sealed by the pillar of the “Heavenly Father”, and can not try to control it! …… is too insidious, too much! Klein couldn’t help but criticize the “Heavenly Father” again in his heart.
At this time, the dream projection of the “Goddess of Night” continued:
”As time passes, the seal of the Western Continent is gradually weakening, and those source qualities either instinctively or consciously utilize the uniqueness and high sequence of extraordinary characteristics within their own symbolic range to indirectly erode them and influence the outside world.”
”The earliest penetration of power was the ‘River of Eternal Darkness’, which formed a tributary in the outside world through Gregari in the Second Age. After that, in the Fourth Age, more source matter began to show signs in the North and South continents and the Five Seas islands.”
”This is an important factor hidden behind many of the mutations in the Fourth Age.”
There are still various source qualities across the seal in the Fourth Age, indirectly exerting influence ah …… No wonder Adam said that I don’t know enough about the history of the Fourth Age …… So it seems that Banshee Harbor retains elven customs, and apart from the fact that it used to be an elven settlement there, there are also additional factors …… Klein pondered for a few seconds and said with a smile:
”I probably understand.”
”Is that why you have been helping me?”
