Chapter 258: The Last Civilization
"This is a long story. My lords, shall we just sit on the star platform and talk about the enlightenment of the will of the stars while the wind is blowing?"
Duke looked at the eyes of the arcane instructors and relaxed. said.
"Then let's talk back to the Hall of Stars." Andre Evening Primrose nodded calmly and hurried down the stairs from where he came.
The Hall of Stars is the Tower of Stars, a place for monitoring the stars. It has complex and sophisticated instruments, such as astronomical telescopes, sextants, star maps and other items. At this time, the staff were cleaning the tea. Muse waved and these people left. down the hall.
The eight Huiyue Arcane Masters sat back in their original seats one after another.
Muse pointed to a table in the center: "Duke, just sit there and tell the adults carefully what revelations the will of the stars has brought to you." "Okay."
Duke
sat down safely.
Then he closed his eyes and recalled the entire dream process - he insisted that everything he had just experienced was a dream experience.
"Xiao Yi, have you recorded all the information in the dream?"
"I'm sorry, Master, when your five senses were distorted by that mysterious power, the spiritual sea was sealed, and Xiao Yi was unable to perceive any situation in the outside world." Xiaoyi responded, "But at a certain point in time, around nine fifteen, an object containing strange energy entered the owner's spiritual sea." "
Strange object?" Duke immediately looked inside the spiritual sea.
But in the center of the spiritual sea, on the ninth-ring orbit where Nine-ring Xiaoyi was, there was a star-like object orbiting the spiritual core together with Xiaoyi.
This star-like object.
Surprisingly, they were exactly the same as the stars that Duke and Nyx were stepping on in the dream. They were irregular crystals that shone like crystals.
"Hiss!" Duke exclaimed.
He recalled what the goddess Nyx said, saying that she had given Duke one of the most precious stars and wanted to share the starry sky with Duke.
He also said that Duke could come often.
"If this is true, doesn't it mean that this star is my key to entering the starry sky?" Duke thought wrapped the star.
Then it was discovered that there was a mark inside, which seemed to emit strong information feedback.
He couldn't help but feel that if he activated the mark in this star, he could be pulled into the starry sky.
only.
It cannot be activated temporarily. The reason is very simple. The mark in this star has no energy, and it needs Duke to recharge it.
"Xiao Yi, divide half of the spiritual energy gained from the exclusive meditation method into this... mark of stars until it is filled up." "Okay
master." Xiao Yi agreed.
Immediately, half of the spiritual particles in the spiritual sea changed their original direction towards the spiritual core and arcane wonders, and merged into the star marks.
"Master, according to the current injection speed, it will take a week to fill the Star Seal with energy." "A week? It's
a bit long... Then pause the construction of the arcane wonders first and supply this part of the spiritual energy to the Star Seal. "
Good master."
Duke wanted to know if he could enter the starry sky and see the goddess Nyx again.
His mind sat cross-legged on his spiritual core, carefully reviewing everything that happened in the dream, and thinking about what the goddess Nyx wanted him to do.
"Take Him far away... Is this a request or some kind of enlightenment?" He could not answer for the time being, "The ancestors who opened the will of the stars, did they also see the goddess Nyx like me... It seems not, listen to Nyx The words of the goddess, I am the most special one, so that I can awaken His existence?"
He thought quietly in the spiritual sea.
Outside.
Andre and others were waiting for him quietly. One minute, two minutes... five minutes passed, and Duke still closed his eyes and thought.
"President..." A Huiyue arcane instructor frowned.
Andre Evening Primrose waved his hand gently and responded in a low voice: "He is thinking, it is a matter of humankind, we just have to wait patiently."
So.
The Hall of Stars fell into dead silence again.
After a long time, maybe ten minutes, maybe half an hour, Duke finally opened his eyes from his thoughts and said softly: "I kept you gentlemen waiting." "It doesn't
matter." Andre said gently.
Duke nodded, and then said the lines he had been considering for a long time: "I don't know if I have seen the will of the stars. In the dream, I saw a goddess named Nyx, who claimed that the stars are He, but He is not the stars."
"Nix?" Several Huiyue arcane instructors looked at each other, and none of them seemed to have heard of this name.
"Yes, Goddess Nyx told me that He has canonized me as His traveler, allowing me to fully display my talents and change this rotten world." "A rotten world?" Speaker Zambros frowned
. The word Sichuan means, "This world has been developed by our arcane mages for countless generations. The spiritual arcana has grown in an orderly manner, and everything in the world exudes vigorous vitality. How can it be described as decay!" Duke Xiaoxiong spread his hands: "Goddess Nyx,
is That's what I said."
Andrei Evening Primrose sighed slowly: "Decay... Is Goddess Nyx talking about me and you... Indeed, we have been in high positions for too long..." "
Seven The Tower Federation is in our hands and has always been on the right path, so how can we talk about occupying a high position." Selsas shook his head, "Sir, you cannot belittle yourself and feel that you are on the wrong path just because you failed to attack the 9th ring. Yes!"
Another Huiyue Arcane instructor nodded and said: "Yes, I agree with Selsus's point of view. Mr. Speaker, we are on the right path."
Andre raised his hand and stopped everyone. Discussion, just said to Duke: "You continue, Duke Walker." "
Well, this Walker was sealed in a dream, I don't know if it counts. And I even doubt whether the goddess Nyx counts. The will of the stars... Strictly speaking, what I felt in the dream was very similar to when I was affected by the shedding of the evil being." "The influence
of the evil being shedding its shell?"
I once encountered something in Cuihai City in my early years. After passing through the shed shell of the god, my five senses were distorted. The feeling was somewhat similar to that in my dream, so I have reason to doubt that the goddess Nyx is an ancient creature in some sense, such as the god. "
Bold assumptions and careful verification.
It was an illusory dream. Duke analyzed it in the spiritual sea for a long time, but he couldn't figure out the reason, so he simply revealed all his doubts. Let the self-proclaimed "Stars" Ao
Fa Mentors, go carefully verify his judgment.
"How is this...ancient creature...possible! "Lord Speaker Zambros shook his head and vetoed, "The will of the stars has inspired us for more than 3,500 years. How can we compare it with a god who only knows how to devour and destroy? It's a big mistake, a big mistake! "
"Yes, the goddess Nyx is by no means a god. I once did archeology in the ruins of the scar on the earth, and I have seen the remaining thoughts of the god. There is only endless madness and desire in it, and there is no reason at all, let alone the will of the stars. "
Boy Duke, you are thinking too much!" Huiyue's arcane instructors unanimously rejected Duke's judgment.
Duke once again spread his arms and said, "My lords, what do you think of the goddess Nyx saying that the world is corrupt?"
After a pause.
Duke added: "And I clearly remember that Goddess Nyx said to me...the past has withered, and there is no hope for the future. So she can't give me any inspiration, and can only let me play freely, and will not treat me Make any restrictions."
"This..." Huiyue Arcane Masters looked at each other again.
They were all lost in thought for a while. Obviously, the enlightenment brought by the will of the stars this time was a bit beyond everyone's understanding.
After a while.
Lambert Raven coughed lightly and attracted everyone's attention: "Everyone, we have to confirm one thing first." "
Say."
"What is the identity of Goddess Nyx!" Lambert concluded solemnly. He said, "Duke said that he was in a dream and heard the goddess Nyx say that the stars are him, but he is not the stars... If the will of the stars is the metaphysics of spirituality, everything is the metaphysics of spirituality." His eyes were burning
. Looking at everyone: "So, where is the goddess Nyx?"
Metaphysically, it is called the Tao; physically, it is called the weapon.
The metaphysics of spirituality is the origin, the principle that exists beyond reality, or it can also be said to be the essence of how the world works.
The physical form of spirituality is the result, the product of the rules of the world's operation. Everything is nourished by spirituality.
"The stars are Him, He is not the stars..." Andre stroked his beard and thought.
Everyone was thinking, even Duke couldn't help but think about it. He knew everything in the dream better than the Huiyue arcane instructors.
Including all his conversations with the goddess Nyx.
Gradually, a bold idea formed in his mind: "There is a line from the goddess Nyx. If I remember correctly... the stars are lingering on the dead body, and you are the only one who can wake me up... ...Dead body..."
He was startled.
I couldn't help but think: "Could it be that the goddess Nyx is the incarnation of this world? So this world is dead? That's why the goddess Nyx said that the past has withered and there is no hope for the future... That's why, Place your hopes on me, a foreigner, and hope that I will take Him far away?"
He still remembered asking the goddess Nyx why she enlightened the ancestors of the Arcane mages but not him.
Goddess Nyx replied: "They are me, you are not me."
"So..." The more Duke thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. "The natives are part of this world, even my body, but only my soul." No. That’s why I am the only outsider and His only hope!”
But when I thought about it carefully, I felt something was wrong.
Since this world is dead, why are there so many colorful civilizations, and everything is flourishing and full of vitality?
Considering.
Duke thought of a compromise speculation: "Perhaps, this planet has produced consciousness, but He is trapped on this planet. For Him, no matter how vibrant this planet is, it is nothing more than a cage that traps itself."
But he was soon overturned by himself: "That's not right, the planet is full of vitality, and everything is possible in the future. Maybe if it continues to develop, it will be easy for arcane mages to travel around the planet. How can you say there is no hope?
" People on earth can think of taking the earth to wander...
Just when Duke was thinking hard.
Muse suddenly said: "My lords, I have presided over the Tower of Stars for more than a hundred years, and I presided over the last activation of the Will of the Stars... Lord Timirasu, do you still remember what it was like when you received the enlightenment of the Will of the Stars? ?"
Timirasu Wind God, chairman of the Elemental Tower Mobilization Committee, full-time arcanist, elemental sage, and war madman.
The surname of the Fengshen family comes from Timirasu's own research on wind arcana.
Hearing Muse mentioning himself, Timila calmed down and said solemnly: "I don't remember the specific dream at all, only many arcane forbidden spells often appear in my mind, especially the wind forbidden spells, including the one I take as my last name. The 'Wind God Forbidden Technique'."
He was the candidate to unlock the will of the stars a hundred years ago. At that time, he was also the youngest arcane instructor in the Seven Towers Federation, just like Miguel now.
But there was no Duke to disrupt the situation at that time, and Timirasu successfully became the starter.
"Yes, Lord Timirasu, the enlightenment of the will of the stars you brought is those infinitely powerful arcane forbidden arts." Muse nodded in agreement.
Lambert Raven asked: "Muse, what is your purpose in talking about this."
"You should have read the historical data. A thousand years ago, the arcane mage of the Holy Spirit Federation went to the endless sea to excavate the ruins of the gods. , a stone tablet with a wedge of talisman was unearthed. Even our Seven Towers Federation had a large number of arcane mages come to observe and build Endless City." I heard
Muse say this.
Speaker Zambros suddenly raised his eyebrows: "You mentioned the Talisman Stele, do you mean to say that our civilization is not the original civilization of this world, but a new era civilization?" Muse responded: "The Talisman Stele is proof
. , maybe this world once had intelligent races similar to ours, and also established civilizations. But for some unknown reason, they disappeared, and then we replaced them." Duke understood
.
It turns out that in the wild world, there are also legends of civilization eras similar to those on Earth.
There are legends on earth that say that human beings are not the earliest civilization. There were one or several other civilizations before, and they gave birth to intelligent races.
After these civilizations perished, humans emerged.
"The Talisman Stele is not strong evidence. I prefer it to be a spiritual natural carving, rather than an artificial carving from a previous civilization." Zambros shook his head.
Muse insisted: "The goddess Nyx, or the Will of the Stars, may be the strongest person in the last civilized race."
She looked at Andre Evening Primrose: "Sir, the revelation brought by the Will of the Stars , basically the development of spiritual arcana. When we look back, these revelations are nothing more than some research results on the path of spiritual arcana."
Andre pondered silently.
Muse continued: "Revelation such as the Wind God's Forbidden Technique is only the result of natural research when the spiritual arcana has developed to a high level. The will of the stars uses them as revelations and reveals them to us in advance. Isn't it a natural copy of spirituality? ?"
Zambros frowned: "What exactly do you want to express?"
"What I want to express is that the will of the stars is just a mirror image of the past civilization, just like the explosion of phantoms in ancient times, taking the achievements of the previous civilization, Replayed with the will of the stars... That’s why the goddess Nyx woke up and told Duke that the past has withered and there is no hope for the future!”
Muse's voice became sonorous and powerful: "This is an enlightenment, and it is a warning to us from the previous civilization. It can even be said to be pity!" Her eyes became longer: "
Goddess Nyx is telling us, Don’t make the same mistakes again... Maybe, I’m just saying maybe, we are on the wrong path on the path of spiritual arcana."
Duke finished listening.
I just feel that Muse's inference is more subtle than the answer I imagined.
"Two civilizations, the Will of the Stars is the strongest in the previous civilization, similar to the arcane mentors. They are dead but not completely dead, and they are still wandering over the world... Goddess Nyx also said that the stars are in the sky Wandering on the dead body... And the goddess Nyx may be the arcane teacher who has become a god in the previous civilization!"
The more he thought about it, the more likely it was that the goddess Nyx must be dead and not dead. , looking forward to this civilization reviving him.
It turns out that this civilization has followed the same path as the previous civilization.
So I felt there was no hope for the future.
"It just so happened that He saw me again and felt that I, a foreigner, could attack jade with rocks from other mountains and help this civilization embark on a new path!" The more Duke thought about it, the closer he felt that he was getting closer to the truth: "
Okay , I understand! After all, the script I got is still the savior script!"
Seeing that the arcane instructors were still arguing, unable to come up with an accurate opinion.
Duke couldn't help but clear his throat: "Ahem!"
Then.
The arcane instructors glanced at him, then turned back to continue arguing, but no one paid attention to him.
Duke's mood was slightly up and down, but he quickly resolved his embarrassment and said loudly: "My lords, please listen to what I have to say."
Andre Evening Primrose stretched out his hand to stop the argument: "Listen first to what Duke said. ."
Duke said loudly: "I think that whether the goddess Nyx is a spiritual metaphysic or the supreme god of the previous civilization, it does not prevent the will of the stars from bringing us enlightenment this time." He and all the Huiyue
Aofa The mentor looked at each other one by one, circled around, and continued: "You adults have enough time to explore the existence of the goddess Nyx, but now, I think the enlightenment has been given, and we should think about how to use the enlightenment to develop Spiritual arcane method."
Zambros said: "If this enlightenment itself is wrong, how can it continue to be implemented!" "
It depends on you, sir, whether you trust the will of the stars enough. Over the past three thousand and five hundred years, three Fifteen times of enlightenment of the will of the stars, will it be overturned because of this one?" Duke said with emotion, "If you are unwilling to overturn it, then I will say a few more words."
Zambros fell silent.
Several other Huiyue arcane instructors also began to think about it.
Andre said gently: "You can just say it, Duke, don't worry about right or wrong."
"Thank you, Lord Speaker, for your encouragement... Goddess Nyx thinks we are going the wrong way or not, she will give it to us." His revelation. That is to let me, His traveler Duke, the one who unlocks the will of the stars, strengthen my beliefs."
Duke shook the collar of his arcane robe: "I don't think we are on the wrong path. , It just needs a change... from the grand arcane era to the subtle spiritual era... Therefore, I need your full support." "
Interesting." Selsus touched his beard and asked with a smile, " I think you are very ambitious, and you want to ask for power from us."
Andrei Evening Primrose also laughed: "Seeing the energetic faces of young people, I feel more and more that we are exuding a strong The decadent atmosphere...Young, so good..."
He said.
Andre suddenly stopped, then his eyes began to wander, and he sat motionless on the chair.
"What is this, Sir Speaker?" Duke asked in surprise.
"It's commonplace, don't worry about it, let's continue talking." Selsus waved his hand.
After Duke started talking about the spiritual era of cave micro, a Huiyue Arcane Master said warmly: "Duke, maybe you have unparalleled blessings from spirituality, but if you want to gain dominance, you still need time. Strengthen your foundation, do you understand?"
"Understood." Duke glanced at the arcane mentors.
Obviously.
This group of old guys in the center of power did not think that Duke, who had opened the will of the stars, could try to get their hands on the power after receiving some specious enlightenment.
He said nothing more.
Zambros expressed his appreciation for Duke's overall view of advancement and retreat, and encouraged him with a smile: "Come, let's continue to talk about the details of your dream."
...
sign a confidentiality contract.
Duke left the Tower of Stars. From then on, the complete process of the Will of the Stars can only be told to the eight Huiyue Arcane Mentors and the Muse.
To anyone else one must remain silent.
"Sir, you're done." Mulali came up to him, and she and Mulashan walked out of the tower, surrounding Duke.
"We're done, let's go back to the Crystal Palace and have a good sleep!" Duke stretched out his arms, "Wait a few days, and we'll return to Cuihai City!"
He already understood that there was no place for him in the Holy City of Offa for the time being.
The Conference of Stars will not give him a top position just because he has activated the Will of the Stars once. At most, he will be treated as a mascot.
Perhaps he invented the Ring of Brand, which attracted the attention of the world, and even the arcane teachers were amazed.
Call him spiritual love.
But being too young is a hurdle after all, and being weak is another hurdle. These two hurdles firmly block him from the door of the Conference of Stars.
Maybe he can stay here and continue to delve into various new technologies. But that's all. The promotion and development of these new technologies will not be left to him. In the Holy City of Offa, academic research can never lead to a position of power.
"If you are not as strong as the stars, you are not qualified to aspire for power!" On the way back, Duke sat in the shuttle and watched the scenery, remaining silent all the way.
The assistant also noticed that he was not in a good mood, so he didn't dare to bother him with any nonsense.
Arrive quietly at Thersus Crystal Palace.
Penrose hasn't slept yet, and there are several other great arcane mages who seem to be waiting here early in the morning, wanting to ask Duke about the will of the stars.
Duke waved his hand: "I can't say that after signing a confidentiality contract, only a few Huiyue Arcane Masters can intervene." "
Ah, that's really a pity." Several Arcane Masters said goodbye and left in disappointment.
Penrose asked one more question: "You seem a little bored?"
"It's nothing. Maybe I'm a little tired from activating the will of the stars. You can do your business. I'll go back and rest first." Duke waved and left.
Take a bath.
Lying on the bed, I summoned the chicken to form a body, and started tonight's evening class in the spirit state.
However, the exclusive meditation method still takes the form of hanging up. He just looks inside the spiritual sea and thinks in the spiritual sea.
Unlike other people's will of the stars, he did not receive any enlightenment about spiritual arcana.
But he was given a star by the goddess Nyx.
"Xiaoyi, this star is in the ninth ring orbit just like you. It is obviously not a simple key." Duke analyzed, "The star mark should be only one of its functions, it also has other functions. Useful."
"It's possible."
"So, next you have to use your idle power to help me analyze this star." Duke ordered, "Since the goddess Nyx gave it to me, it will be my exclusive star. Just call it... Duke Star."
Xiaoyi responded quickly: "Okay master, I have added a new process for you... Process 5: Analyze Duke Star..."
Several other processes are still in progress.
The exclusive meditation method has never been interrupted, the arcane wonder-Mind Eye Beast is under construction, the Arcane Hand 2.0 is being sublimated, and the Sand Eagle 2.1 night vision version is under development.
There is also a special process - charging the Duke Star.
"When Duke's Star is fully charged, I will return to Cuihai City. There is no big stage for me in the Holy City of Offa." Duke smiled mockingly to himself.
Perhaps the person who understands me best on this planet is the goddess Nyx in the dream just now.
He was very high-spirited before coming here, always feeling that his status in the Seven Towers Federation would skyrocket if he unleashed the Ring of Branding ultimate move.
Now I find that my position has reached a bottleneck.
No matter how high his academic achievements are, he can't cover up the embarrassing situation that he is just a second-level arcane mage. In the extraordinary world, strength is king after all.
He doesn't want to be a mascot in the Holy City of Offa.
"But there is no need to worry, the phantom film is becoming popular, and the ring of branding will also explode. With such a rich spiritual feedback, my spiritual path is already on a rocket, waiting to take off." A fighting spirit burst out in Duke's heart.
"Sooner or later, the meeting of stars will give me a top spot...and it will be the top spot!"
