In fact, only few people know that the holy crystal mountain Asuman has an extremely vast and mysterious inner space, and there is an ancient gatekeeper who has guarded this magnificent holy place throughout human history-qualified to enter Asuman No one in Man is a bishop-level figure of the Creation Goddess Sect, and the Pope has been the only one who can communicate with the gatekeepers and open or close the various halls of Asuman at will since ancient times.
The gatekeeper opened a light door without a word. The edge of the light door shook a few times, and then stabilized into a transmission channel. On the other side of the channel, you can see a crystal hall filled with a slight halo. Pope August King Sturt VII nodded slightly to the gatekeeper and stepped into the gate.
The teleportation channel was shaken and then closed. August VII had arrived at the "Hall of Astrology" inside Asuman. This is a pyramid-shaped space. The four walls gradually gathered around the middle, and finally at the top of the hall When they meet at one point, a huge white crystal is suspended high there, emitting a low buzzing sound. Mysterious runes and pictures are constantly wandering on the walls and ground of the hall, and only a small part of them can be detected. Human Comprehension - This is the result of thousands of years of research by the sect's wisest scholars.
Most of the spaces inside Asuman are in the shape of such a pyramid. The only difference is the size and lighting. Scholars have used countless generations to decipher the names of some of the halls, but they have nothing about their specific functions and operating mechanisms. known.
The space in front of me is called "Astrology Hall".
The hall of astrology is the name engraved on the entrance and exit from here to other areas, so naturally there is no doubt, but in fact the scholars of the church have always been confused about it: Judging from the name, this room should be a room for observing the starry sky or storing astrological data. In fact, there is no opening to observe the outer starry sky, and the equipment in the room has nothing to do with astrology.
In the world of Keluo, astrology is a profound knowledge. This world has an eternal starry sky that never flickers. It is the image of the stars that remain on the boundary of the space when this space is isolated from the material universe—Kolo People do not know the secrets, but this does not prevent them from learning about the operation of their own world from the stars. Although the stars do not move, the various phantom lights produced by the sea of Karnos will be projected on the starry sky. These lights wander on the natural chessboard formed by the stars and produce various disturbances with the starlight. Astrologers can learn from them. Deduce the movement of chaos and the length of the year of order. It can be said that as long as the history of the Kolo world is, the history of human astrology is as long. People in this world are not unfamiliar with this knowledge.
However, there is nothing related to astrology in the astrological hall of Asuman. There are only a large pile of mysterious crystals. The world believes that this text must have great meaning, but it is a pity that scholars have not been able to decipher the secrets in this text so far.
The runes inside Asuman are too esoteric. Even if he rubbed all the runes inside Asuman and handed them over to the highly respected linguists in the sanctuary for analysis, no one would be able to understand this holy place meaning of every sentence.
The old pope came to the crystal tower in the center of the star hall, and the gatekeeper followed behind the old man without saying a word. The sentence that no one could understand floated on the crystal tower as usual, but after sensing the Pope's approach, the sentence temporarily retreated to the side, and other symbols and pictures appeared in the air.
August VII put his hand on the crystal tower, carefully touching the delicate ridges on the surface of the crystal pillar, and the picture projected in the air also changed accordingly.
It ended up being a hologram of Kolo's world.
This picture is blurry and shakes constantly, as if the equipment is malfunctioning. Some characters floating on the map are not clear at all. There is only one sign in the entire holographic image that is meaningful, and that is Ansu Continent A Beacon of Light in South Central.
This sign suddenly appeared less than a month ago—and after it appeared, many originally closed areas inside Asuman suddenly woke up from their slumber. The Pope firmly believed that this must be the guidance of God.
"...Ansu Continent...ancient Casuan Temple..." the old Pope muttered, "This temple that has disappeared from the world of order for a thousand years still exists...Goddess, what exactly do you want me to understand? ?”
The holographic image naturally couldn't answer the old Pope's question, it just quietly floated in the air, and was constantly blurred by some interference patterns.
August VII turned off the hologram and continued to activate other systems.
He called up the few interfaces that can be controlled and understood by mortals, and one of the interfaces showed the image of the entire Crystal Holy Mountain: This image is quite clear, and it shows that about one-third of the Holy Mountain is still hidden in the Under the earth, and inside the holy mountain, there is an extremely complex structure. In many places on the image, you can see eye-catching orange signs, and Auguste can still understand those words:
"Unknown error, unable to read the analysis data."
He zoomed in on the picture and locked it on the crack at the top of the holy mountain. The image showed that there was a terrible penetrating wound there, and a "foreign object" was stuck in the deepest part of the penetrating wound.
A few months ago, it was this mysterious extraterrestrial object that pierced the sky and tore a gap in the sacred mountain of Asuman. Before that, even Symmetra had faded from the holy mountain.
And in this process, Asuman himself is actually trying to heal himself: the crack has now healed nearly two-thirds, but because the "foreign object" is still stuck in its deepest part, this kind of healing has never been complete , and the speed of self-healing is far slower than the speed of the failure of the holy mountain.
The top of the holy mountain on the holographic image is shining in orange to indicate a warning, and the cracks are marked in red, and there is a line of text floating beside it: serious warning, #￥#%￥ is seriously damaged, output power is reduced, self-repair function is limited , requiring immediate manual intervention.
The old pope looked at these pictures and asked without looking back: "Is there a way to get there?"
The gatekeeper stood silently behind him, making no sign.
The old pope knew that this meant "negation".
If a thing can be implemented, then the gatekeeper will implement it immediately, if she does not respond, it means that this matter must not be implemented. The gatekeeper is such a mechanical guard, unable to reason with reason or even communicate.
The old Pope frowned, but he couldn't say anything to the silent gatekeeper. He knew that this matter had exceeded the limit of ordinary people's capabilities.
That "foreign object" bombarded the summit of Asuman, the highest crystal spire known as the "Throne of Divine Providence", which was undoubtedly forbidden to mortals. The holy crystal mountain Asuman has been shrouded in powerful divine energy all year round. From the foot of the mountain to the top, every 100 meters up, the sacred energy wandering around the mountain wall will double. The height of the wall is actually the limit that ordinary people can bear, which is why only the pope or bishop level can stand on that high platform: this is not only a symbol of status, but also because the strength of ordinary people is fundamental. Not enough to face Asuman's coercion.
Even if August VII himself climbed to the throne of Divine Will, he could only hold on for ten minutes—afterwards, he would be burned to ashes by Shenwei, let alone other monks.
Therefore, even if everyone knew that the "foreign object" that caused Asuman's continuous depletion was in the area of the Throne of God's Will, they couldn't take it out.
It is impossible to climb to the top of the Holy Mountain from the outside, and August VII once put his hope on going to that place from the inside of the Holy Mountain.
But the gatekeeper has never opened the passage leading to that location—this mysterious guardian is like a magic doll mechanically adhering to a certain principle. Compared with this principle, she doesn't seem to care at all that Asuman keeps debilitating reality.
After staying in the Hall of Astrology for a while, the Pope left the place.
He did not leave Asuman, but let the gatekeeper take him to several other opened halls. Some of these halls have been opened to the outside world thousands or even ten thousand years ago, while others just woke up from a deep sleep last month and suddenly appeared in front of outsiders.
Among the recently opened halls, one particularly caught the attention of August VII. He has visited this place more than once in the past half month.
Structurally, this newly-appeared hall should be located on the mountainside of the holy mountain of Asuman, and run through the central axis of the holy mountain. Before the crystal barriers blocking the hall suddenly disappeared, no one realized the existence of this room at all. .
Under the leadership of the gatekeeper, the Pope entered this hall known as the "will hub". Just like the previous few times, when he stepped into this place, he immediately felt a soft and deep voice resounding in his mind Come.
However, the sound was so weak and intermittent that it was almost impossible to distinguish.
The Pope raised his head, and he saw a huge irregularly shaped crystal quietly standing in the center of the pyramid-shaped hall. The crystal was three meters high, with a lingering halo, and inside the crystal, something seemed to be sealed.
Of course, he was no stranger to this scene. In fact, he had been studying that crystal for half a month, but even as knowledgeable as the Pope, he still didn't understand what was in that crystal.
There is a group of light sealed inside, a group of light like a starry sky. (to be continued~^~)
