Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 3997 Starry Sky Secret Technique
The giant race from Greenbrad has always been known for its exceptional physical strength. Their fists and feet can destroy mountains and cleave rivers, and they can fight adult dragons head-on. Even the mutants among them who can use magic do not mean that their physical strength is weaker; they are still terrifying.

A layer of slowly writhing black nightmares covered its body. When the mutated giant reached out to grab it, Yuzhen and Liufeng both became serious and prepared with all their might. They felt immense pressure; this giant was definitely an extraordinary powerhouse.

Whether in the demon realm or the god realm, he can be considered a first-rate powerhouse.

The enormous arm collided violently with Yuena's cross, unleashing a deafening roar. Light clashed with the light-devouring black nightmare, and the expected evenly matched situation did not materialize. The giant of Greenblad shattered one of its arms, sending flesh and stone flying together.

Liu Feng blinked hard a few times. He knew that Yue Na was a real adventurer with real skills. It was said that she was the one who chose the location of the Eye of Remedia in the center of the underground railway, and that she summoned a beam of holy light. The Demon Realm also knew that Yue Na was an angel who was close to God through their understanding of the priest system of the Arad Continent.

But the sight before him—a young woman about 1.7 meters tall, with a slender and graceful figure, thin arms and legs, wielding a cross to fight the Greenbrad Giant and smashing one of its arms—truly shocked him.

Yuena judged, "His life force is very strong, like a blazing sun hidden underground, but there is almost no reason in his mind."

The implication is that there is no chance for peaceful communication. Moreover, since the other party struck first, if a giant with the ability to devour light were to roam freely in the Demon Realm, even if the leader of a major power were to immediately notice and suppress it, a short-term disaster would still occur.

Just as Yuena was about to strike again, completely shattering her opponent and then obtaining the truth by reading their soul, a sudden change occurred. The scattered, irregularly shaped pieces of flesh and stone turned into thick smoke and seeped into the deeper underground, disappearing without a trace. The giant also retreated into the darker depths. When the holy light shone brightly, the enormous giant had completely vanished, as if it had disappeared into thin air.

Ye Lin nodded and said, "His earth-attribute talent allows him to merge with the earth. No wonder he, a giant, can come underground."

"I sensed it rushing across the earth, its destination unknown. Let's bring it to the ground first." Imiwu raised her hands, and ten invisible puppet threads extended from her nail-covered fingers. That was her signature ability, capable of binding the body and entangling the soul. All of them followed the direction in which the giant disappeared. A moment later, the earth trembled violently.

"Walk."

Yuena and the others turned around, preparing to leave the underground world. Youzhen and Liufeng had already taken the first ride on the wind and left together. As cultivators who used the wind attribute, they naturally disliked this kind of dead and silent abyss. The air did not move, which made them feel very uncomfortable and mentally unwell.

"Chief...?" Rossello saw that his chief didn't seem to be leaving and was still staring at the dilapidated ruins below.

As a demon who had crammed on his knowledge, Rossello knew that these ruins were a corner of the ancient city of Terra, which may have been extremely prosperous in the past, reflecting that mysterious era, but now it was completely decayed, dilapidated, and its glory was gone.

"Rosello, stay behind for a moment," Ye Lin said.

Yuena, Youxia, and Yimiwu chased the mutated giant back to the ground. They didn't need to worry about the giant. Even though the giant had some strange aspects that required caution, all three of them were Transcendent beings, so no matter how careless they were, nothing serious would happen.

Once only the two of them remained in the underground space, the bunny girl, Rosello, took out a hair tie and tied up her radiant, sun-kissed hair, revealing a beautiful, alluring face with lips that gleamed with a captivating, moist sheen.

“Rosello, is your astrology particularly active here?” Ye Lin continued to scan the ruins, his eyes shining as he pierced through the piles of debris, tracing the traces of the past.

"Hmm, my astrology seems to work perfectly here at any time." Rossello secretly pursed his lips, a little disappointed.

She thought that the leader had specifically asked her to stay because there was something lewd about it. Even if the environment wasn't good enough for close combat, there was definitely an environment where she could be given a verbal lesson.

The use of any divination technique has certain prerequisites. Astrology requires choosing a suitable time and preparing the materials for the ritual before one can glimpse some mystery from the trajectory of the stars.

Although Xiaoyu's divine oracle can be used by setting up a stall on the street and using a fortune-telling stick, that is the most rudimentary method of use. It can only show whether the target will have good or bad luck for a certain period of time, but it cannot tell what kind of good or bad luck, or the specific time.

A truly perfect oracle requires her to set up rituals, communicate with the dragon, and even perform the oracle dance.

"Rosello, I have a question for you..."

"Is it a primary school level question?!" Rossello's eyes lit up again.

Although she wasn't a true rabbit, and rabbits are said to be in heat year-round like humans, her love had long since intensified to the point of actively seeking it out. She would often cling to Ye Lin and ask in a soft, seductive voice:
"Do you know how to raise rabbits? What do you feed them?"

"Rabbits need to be fed plenty of grass."

Ye Lin told her to take a good look at this underground space, as it might hold an opportunity for her. She should suppress those strange thoughts in her mind for now, and since she could hold back, she should try harder too.

Rossello obediently responded, then used his transcendent level of cultivation to examine the underground space, scrutinizing the smallest details. He then let out a soft exclamation, having made a new discovery he hadn't noticed before, and analyzed:

"At the foot of Mount Koretkiel lies a corner of a once-prosperous but now dilapidated city ruin. Such a situation is not uncommon in the Demon Realm, but such a deep burial is rare. Of course, such depth is not unique; for example, city ruins can also be seen at the bottom of the sea in the Demon Realm."

"The geological composition of the entire Corretkill Mountains is completely different from that of Springville, which is also a mountain range in the distance. It has many extraterrestrial elements, and there are many huge meteorites underground. Could this region have suffered a meteor shower disaster in ancient times?"

"Then, it couldn't be a coincidence that the black nightmare seeped into this place. There must be something attracting it, the...light from underground?"

Rossello's divine sense suddenly detected something. His expression shifted, and he waved his hand, sweeping away a large amount of rubble and debris. Illuminating the area, he discovered a massive stone tablet buried underground with extremely high metal content. It was two stories high, with two flat sides and irregularly undulating edges. It was speculated that it was originally a single, round boulder that had been flattened on both sides by a mysterious external force. It lay on the ground with a very ancient and mysterious inscription on it.

Even with his intensive study and considerable knowledge, Rossello was completely baffled by the writing on the meteorite. "The writing looks like some kind of ancient Terran script. Could it be something like the 'Genesis' stele, a prophecy that's half-true and half-false?" Rossello looked at Night Forest, indicating that he had reached his limit and truly didn't understand.

The prophecy, which Ye Lin proved to be half true and half false, is no longer as transcendent and mysterious as before. Therefore, if this stone tablet is one of them, its value is not particularly amazing; its significance lies more in its historical weight.

Even the wicked Held has given up on finding the other stone tablets and prophecies. In the past, she would probably have been overjoyed, but now she feels more of a complex sigh. She has a completely new understanding of fate.

Ye Lin said, "You don't recognize the words on the front, so lift it up and look at the back."

The enormous stone tablet lay on the ground. Rossello used magic to lift it up, blowing away the damp soil on its back to reveal ancient and complex writing. Accompanying the writing was a mysterious stone carving, outlined with numerous dots and lines, which at first glance resembled a chessboard.

Moreover, the back of the stone tablet was stained with the same blood as the giant's body. Even after countless years, it was still bright red and had not dried or peeled off, as if it had just been splashed on not long ago.

Instantly, Rossello gently pressed her hand to her chest, feeling her heartbeat quicken. She carefully examined the stone carvings and the words on them, even resonating with the crimson blood with the power of a transcendent being, in order to gain more information.

In a daze, she saw a terrifying scene: the starry sky was burning with an inextinguishable flame, consuming the entire world and illuminating even the darkness deep within the universe. The earth was even more devastated, with wailing and shattering everywhere. Blurry figures radiating golden light moved with divine power in every gesture. The scene was horrific, but Rossello felt her mind was as calm as a still well, and she felt a cold indifference as if she were looking down on all things.

Until, an indescribable sense of extreme grief and indignation suddenly welled up in my heart, and thousands of points of light suddenly lit up in the depths of the starry sky. Each point of light was a huge meteorite, which crashed into a majestic light and shadow whose outline could not be seen at all.

Rossello opened her eyes, filled with grief and indignation, as if she was about to scream her heart out. She bit her lip hard, held back, and then slowly became spiritual, full of her personal emotional state.

She knew what question her leader had just wanted to ask... "Do you know who that blood belongs to?"

Ye Lin looked at the words and blood on the back of the stone tablet and said:
"The twelve artificial gods each have different abilities. Among the artificial gods, Yanemer's ability is to reorganize matter. When she is at full power, she can even modify her soul. Currently, her remnant soul is inside the Chimera's transformation cube. Napole, also known as the complete waste fog, has the ability to manipulate the weather. Wind, rain, snow, ice, thunder, lightning, fire... are all her domain powers. Philbe's ability appears to be music, but in fact, it is the control of sound."

"Then one of the twelve artificial gods has the power of the stars. He resonates with the celestial bodies of the universe, can draw starlight to attack enemies, and can also manifest a vast meteor shower to sweep away all enemies in the world. Moreover, while most artificial gods act according to instinct, he is a rare wise man who has comprehended astrology from the trajectory of the stars."

So part of the truth has been revealed: the god who fell on Mount Corretkil was actually one of the ancient man-made gods. He perished in the war with Caloso, and the man-made god's body finally fell here along with a shower of meteors.

The legend that a god fell on the highest peak is still false. It is a speculative repair by later generations after the inevitable historical gap. The correct story is that an artificial god with the power of meteor showers fell here and gave birth to Mount Kretekiel. The order of events is completely different.

Then, the laws that changed the universe when that god fell were actually a meteor shower.

"The supreme laws of creation purified most of the artificial gods, so there are no corpses of artificial gods here, only a little blood." Ye Lin looked at the text and illustrations on the stone tablet and said:

"As one of the few wise beings among the artificial gods, unaffected by Yanemer, He left behind His power when He perished, and in the form of a secret technique, which is quite amazing."

Whether it's material reconstruction, weather manipulation, or sound manipulation, these are all abilities inherent to artificial gods, their innate talents that no one can take away. For example, without the Rubik's Cube, Chimera would never be able to print counterfeit money.

Therefore, the twelve abilities of the artificial god were theoretically lost and cut off. None of the twelve apostles inherited the abilities of the artificial god. The apostles are all different flowers blooming, representing another future.

Of course, the universe is vast and the flame of civilization is burning brightly. There must be beings in the world with abilities similar to the twelve artificial gods, but speaking of their abilities, they were not originally passed down at all.

Now, however, things have changed drastically. The wisest of the twelve artificial gods transformed his abilities into a secret art that could be passed down, and left it behind. Rossello possessed the astrology among them.

That stone carving corresponds to the star field of ancient Terra. He left his complete secret techniques on several stars, including the power of starlight and meteor showers, as a kind of legacy.

"Is it still possible to find it?" Rossello stared intently at the stone carving, eager to try.

With her current strength as a transcendent being, traversing the void is not a problem. As long as she has the detailed coordinates and those stars have not been destroyed, she will definitely be able to find those stars and obtain the complete Starry Sky Secret Technique.

The problem is that the Demon Realm drifted from its original location and traveled through the universe before approaching the Arad Continent. Therefore, the coordinates corresponding to this stone carving can only be accurately determined by returning to the original location of Terra Star.

Lord Hilder must know that Terra was originally located there.

Having conceived a preliminary idea, Rossello calmed himself down, looked at the stone tablet, and said:

"So, this is actually a way to survive."

Yannemer disassembled her soul, sacrificing most of her essence to deceive everyone, faked her death, hid inside the Rubik's Cube, and slept for an unknown number of years.

Napole, unable to retain memories, drifted to the realm of the gods in his ignorance, spreading a unique mist. His rebirth and reunion in the faith of the gods was also a way of surviving.

Now, another method has emerged for an artificial god to "survive": transforming their abilities into secret techniques and leaving them behind. As long as there are people using them and people who know the secret techniques of the starry sky, that wise being is essentially alive.
