"oh?"
Because of this question, the gods of the past looked at the people of the future with some surprise:
"You actually know this? I thought that in the future, such names would have disappeared.
The ancient gods are the original thirteen gods, and they are the gods that were truly born with the world. They represent the origin of the world and the power of the world. But the ancient gods have long fallen, there is no doubt about that, but their power is extremely strong. Even if they have fallen, their power still exists. I guess you appear here because of the power of the ancient god of time. And we old gods..."
In the language used by the saint in front of him, in addition to the meaning of "old gods" which is common in the Draerion language, the outsider also interpreted it as the meaning of "god of sin".
"What happened in the past? What happened in this world..."
His confused mind made it almost impossible to think.
"Go away. The past is a burden to the souls of mortals. Those stories are long gone. Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, all gone. ... It is not a good thing for mortals to look upon us. Go away, man of the future."
"But!"
"This is for your own good. However, I am the God of Innocence and the protector of children. Child from the future, since you were able to appear here before I completely left, it means that our fates must be connected. Since you still don't want to leave, do you want to hear a story?"
"A child from the future?"
Xia De was confused about this title:
"Is it because my soul has been in this world for too short a time that it thinks I'm a child?"
But at least he understood the meaning of "story" to the ring warlock, so he cheered himself up and nodded, allowing himself to listen to all the information that followed.
The old god, who was apparently very young but had an inexplicably aged aura, sighed softly:
“My story is actually very boring. I was born from the infinite illusions of children and possess their purest thoughts.
Once, I used my own power to create an everlasting fire and an inexhaustible spring for the most beautiful witch princess. But she asked me for immortality, which I could not do because it was not a wish a child should have, so I left her.
You listened to the story of the old god "The Pure Creator", and you learned one of the miracles of the old god "The Pure Creator".
You have obtained a spell, a false immortality. You have the ability to prevent a seriously injured person from dying within half an hour.
"All mortals are mortal, and false immortality is but a ridiculous consolation."
The old god sighed, then pushed forward, and the shocked strangers in the toy store flew backwards automatically like puppets.
"Until next time, future man, may the power of time and creation bless you."
He broke open the store door, passed through the thick white fog that followed, and then fell heavily on the living room floor of Room 1 on the second floor of No. 6 St. Teresa's Square.
Stranger, you have returned to the present time.
Message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree":
Unfinished task.
Time Key; Fifth Epoch-1068-Creator of Innocence, 1/3 damaged.
You will need to wait a week for the next activation time.
"Isn't it a disposable item?"
Although Xia De looked pale, he immediately put his hand in his pocket and touched the key covered with cracks.
"How was the trip, Mr. Hamilton?"
Professor Garcia's curious voice came from behind. He didn't see Shad's expression and couldn't guess what had just happened.
Xia De's heart was pounding. In just a few seconds, he had already finished all his thoughts. He turned around very slowly, not trying to hide his pale face:
"In the year 1068 of the Fifth Era, the event was the fall of the Old Gods."
Although the huge pressure brought by the gods disappeared after leaving the toy store, the harm suffered by the gods just now still had an impact.
But Professor Garcia's expression suddenly became even uglier than Shade's. If it weren't for the projection ritual at the moment, he would have almost jumped down:
"What? How could it be? The old gods have fallen!"
He opened his mouth in shock, but then looked at Shade with concern. He spoke in unskilled Draerion so fast that Shade could hardly understand:
"I've never heard of this happening in 1068 before. Mr. Hamilton, are you okay? If so, this key is not at the poet level! It's definitely above the angel level!"
The professor wanted to help Shade, but he couldn't. He clenched his fists and asked anxiously:
"Mr. Hamilton, do you need the college to send you a medical team?"
"Oh, no."
Professor Garcia's concern and anxiety were real, and Shade's shock was also real. But what he showed was fatigue on his face. He walked back to his chair and sat down, slowly recounting his experience:
"I came to a street, saw a shop, and then ... I don't remember clearly."
He still felt a headache, but he still described the general appearance of Hope Town in detail, and claimed that he wandered on the street for ten minutes before finally seeing the store in the white fog. Then he came back here and even acquired a new spell.
And this time the investigation incident seemed to be just seeing that store.
"It's a good thing you didn't go in."
Xia De spent ten minutes describing what he had seen and heard. Professor Garcia was filled with fear. Xia De actually saw sweat on the professor's transparent cheeks:
"Luckily you didn't go in, lucky you didn't go in! Damn it, I'm going to hold back the students who are investigating the time point of the Fifth Epoch 1068 where this key is located until 1860! He actually said that time point was completely safe and nothing could happen!"
It is now 1853 in the Sixth Age, and Shad is worried about the unknown St. Byron's student.
"You don't have to write the investigation report for this incident. I'll do it for you. I will tell the academy everything about your time travel this time. The academy won't let you suffer any loss! Damn it, there's a worm in the history department! Who on earth said that the year 1068 of the Fifth Epoch was safe... Mr. Hamilton, are you really okay?"
When he was angry, he even uttered a few words of Kasenric language. Fortunately, Shade could understand them.
"I want to sleep. I feel distracted and can't concentrate. Oh, sir, I am so tired."
Shade slumped in his original chair, but because his spirit recovered quickly, the innocent creator gave him appropriate protection.
"Okay, take a rest first. When you receive the manuscript pages sent by mail tomorrow, if you feel unwell, please contact the academy immediately. Damn it, I will make that guy who wrote the Fifth Epoch-1068 investigation report repeat a grade until 1870!"
Suddenly, another ten years of student life have passed.
"I'm sorry, Professor Garcia, I'm just so tired."
Xia De said something very rude to drive them away, and the professor with pointed ears understood what he meant:
"You don't have to worry. As long as you return to the present time, all the injuries you suffered in the past will disappear. So the injuries you received are just what you think you have been hurt. It's just that you actually saw the residence of God... Mr. Hamilton, go and have a rest. Remember to contact me if you have any questions. Be careful and take care of your health. Oh, poor young man, you actually encountered such a thing~"
He looked at Shade with concern, but still got up and left. Although Professor Garcia looked strict, he really cared about his students.
