“Leaving suffering… Leaving suffering… .. Leaving suffering and attaining happiness?”
Tian Yang looked up at the symbol on the gate that was condensed by starlight, and said with emotion: "The name of this temple does carry a beautiful vision, hoping that all the creatures living in Xingdu can be free from suffering and live in happiness. Unfortunately, this city seems to be doomed to extinction."
Su Lie said calmly: "Even the gods cannot escape the fate of eternal night. At most, they can only linger on. What in this world can be eternal?"
He carried the huge palace on his shoulders and walked into the temple casually.
Tianyang asked Shuwei to stay outside the door on guard, and he followed Su Lie into the temple. The temple was unexpectedly simple. There were no majestic statues. There was only an altar deep in the temple.
It is peaceful and quiet here, which makes people feel peaceful and tranquil.
On both sides of the palace were walls that looked like they were cast in bronze, with some patterns carved on them. From them one could see the stone bridge that Tianyang and his companions had passed when they entered the 'Star City'.
But in the pattern on the wall, there were no snowflakes floating on the stone bridge, and under the stone bridge, there were also clouds and mists gathering and dispersing, but they outlined figures of various shapes. These figures were not all human, but no matter what kind of creatures they were, they all opened their arms and had smiles on their faces, as if welcoming the creatures passing the stone bridge and heading to Xingdu.
"So, a long time ago, there were indeed a large number of living creatures settled here?" Su Lie also looked at the pattern on the bronze wall. He stretched out a finger, moved back along the bridge, and came to the palace where they came out.
In the pattern on the wall, the gate of the palace was open, and creatures of different races walked out from it, forming a long dragon, extending to the stone bridge, and to the reception platform after the bridge.
Tianyang looked up at the dome and saw the temple dome, which was shining with stars. They condensed into symbols and formed a few phrases: With my great wish, I gather the stars into a city to guide all living beings out of suffering and into happiness.
Just a few short sentences made Tianyang's heart tremble. It was not difficult to interpret the following meaning from these few short sentences: the existence of this star city has attracted countless lives to settle here, keeping them away from suffering and bringing them eternal happiness.
If we make further associations with this, it implies that the world outside this star city is probably suffering from a great disaster, causing countless living beings outside to suffer untold pain.
That is why the builders created such a large capital city to attract creatures from the outside world to settle in and relieve them of their suffering.
But in what state does this star city exist
If it really exists, then it should be somewhere in the reverse world of Gaoshanbao. In this case, he and his father should have been teleported here by some force.
But in that case, there is no reason why we cannot use the 'Gap Door'.
And if this is an independent space like the 'tomb', then the builder of the Star City is almost certain to be one of the alien gods, and it is possible that he is an alien god of the same level as the creator of the 'tomb', who can create an independent and secluded space.
Would such a powerful alien god care about the creatures in the outside world? Would it be so kind as to lead so many creatures to live in its capital? Perhaps it did so for another purpose.
Finally, could that alien god be what the statue of the woman represents
All kinds of questions came to Tianyang's mind, but unfortunately there were too few clues and it was difficult for him to draw a conclusion.
At this moment, suddenly, a very clear gasp was heard from outside the temple!
The sun is not
Looking at his father, Su Lie raised his eyebrows slightly and squinted his eyes and said, "It seems that there are still living things here?"
There was nothing outside the temple except the tree guards, and the sudden strange breathing inevitably led to all kinds of speculations.
Tianyang and his son quickly arrived outside the temple, and saw a gray-white figure appear not far from the tree guard. It was a tall man, more than two meters tall, and it could be seen that it was a male. At first glance, there was not much difference between him and the human outside the Claf Gate, but if you look closely, you will find that this "man" has an eye on his forehead.
A completely grey eye, with no pupil, just grey white.
The humanoid creature with vertical eyes on his forehead had wrinkled skin that looked completely dehydrated. A layer of frost condensed on his face, hands, and clothes.
He made a huge gasping sound from his mouth, as if he was trying his best to breathe. He walked aimlessly, seemingly without any purpose, and showed no hostility towards Shu Wei and Tian Yang.
"Could this be the resident of Xingdu?" Su Lie frowned and said, "He can no longer be called a living being. His life has probably left him long ago, but there is another force driving him. That force feels like dark particles, but not completely."
Tianyang also felt an unusual energy from the 'person' whose whole body was frozen. That energy was very deep and indeed a bit like dark particles, but there was also a feeling of emptiness, which was not quite like dark particles.
It was impossible to tell whether the 'Frost Man' was a black man or something else. He walked into the temple step by step with stiff steps.
Its dehydrated and cracked lips were moving, and some strange sounds came out of its mouth, as if it was talking, but Tianyang had never heard of this language before, and he didn't know which world's language it was.
The strange thing is that even though he had never heard such language, Tianyang knew what the 'Frost Man' was saying: "May the Dream God bless you?"
"Dream God?" Su Lie glanced at his son, "Do you understand what it is saying?"
Tian Yang nodded: "It's very strange here. Those symbols, or perhaps those words, and the language we hear now, are all unheard of and unseen. But as long as we see and hear them, we will naturally understand their meaning."
"It's as if there is some mysterious power that allows beings from different worlds to communicate with each other."
Su Lie hummed and said, "From the murals on the temple walls, the creatures that the Creator guided should not be from the same world, so the images of those who were guided are so strange. Some have human form, some are non-human, and some are strange and indescribable."
"If there is no common language, putting so many beings from different worlds and civilizations in one city will definitely lead to contradictions and conflicts."
"To be able to create a capital city that is far away from suffering and independent of the world, the creator must be extraordinary. How could he not have considered this aspect?"
"Since we can't achieve a common language, then we can achieve a common mind. This shouldn't be too difficult for such beings."
Tian Yang also said: "Only in this way can we explain why after we came in, we can also read those words that we don't know and understand the language that we don't know."
While the two were discussing, the "Frost Man" had already arrived at the gate of the temple. It seemed that it was unaware of the existence of Tianyang and his son. It walked into the temple with stiff steps, as if it wanted to get guidance here, because it was walking towards the altar deep inside.
As soon as the 'Frost Man' entered the temple
The temperature in the temple immediately dropped significantly, and a thin layer of frost condensed on the ground where it passed, leaving behind one white footprint after another.
It staggered to the altar, its gray pupils numb and empty, and its body knelt down mechanically, facing the altar and worshipping, repeating the words 'May the Dream God bless you' intermittently.
After Tianyang exchanged glances with his father, he walked into the temple, but as soon as he approached the Frost Man, he found that the heat of the "Wild Fire" caused green smoke to rise from the Frost Man's body and the frost melted.
Tianyang thought about it and left Huanghuo at the door. When he approached, Frost showed no signs of abnormality.
Coming behind the Frost Man, Tian Yang asked in a deep voice: "Who is the Dream God?"
He used the language outside the Clave Gate, but the frost man paused slightly and then uttered strange syllables from his mouth.
But Tianyang understood easily: "The Dream God... is the Lord of Xingdu..."
really...
Although this frost man was in a strange state, he could still answer some questions instinctively... Tianyang then asked, "Where are you from?"
"I..." This time, the Frost Man paused for an unusually long time. After a long while, he finally uttered a strange language, "Qigong... I come from... Qigong..."
never heard of that.
Tianyang shook his head and asked, "How did you get into Xingdu?"
The Frost Man turned his head woodenly, his three hollow eyes reflecting Tianyang's figure, and he spoke word by word: "Jie Yin... ... Dream God... ... Jie Yin..."
It stopped and faint blue light began to emerge on its body, outlining circles one after another, just like the translucent figure on the stone bridge.
"Holy Mark... You... don't have... "
"Invasion... Invaders..."
"kill... ... ."
Suddenly, the Frost Man let out a sharp whistle, and all the dark blue rings on his body lit up. The frost under his feet spread out at once, surging around like a tide, causing the base of the altar to be covered with white frost, and trying to freeze Tianyang's feet.
A dark red sword light surged over, splitting the Frost Man in two. The Frost Man's scream suddenly stopped, and the frost under his feet no longer spread.
It paused, then faded away like a shadow and soon disappeared into the air.
Tianyang was slightly surprised that after the Frost Man was killed, he did not decompose like the Black People, let alone produce any remains.
And from the conversation just now, we know that this "human" with a vertical pupil on his forehead comes from a world called "Qigong", where people may all be born with three eyes.
In other words, all kinds of creatures in this star city really come from different worlds.
They were all led by the Dream God, and the 'people' who were led should have holy patterns on their bodies, so the residents of Xingdu can use this to distinguish whether the other party is the 'guided one'.
If there is no holy mark, then it will be judged as an invader and attacked.
So, those shadows on the gray stone bridge launched the attack based on this point
Just as Tianyang was thinking about this question, he heard a gasp.
Hohoho...
The voices came from outside the temple, and there were quite a lot of them!
