Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 4002 The Eye of Knowledge
"They must be talking about the Apostles. The predecessors of the Apostles were artificial gods." Rossello carefully resonated with the emotions left behind by the artificial gods. She had a very clear understanding of the relationship between the artificial gods and the Apostles.

Then she saw that Ritz and Niwu's expressions had not changed, but they were looking at the stone tablet inscribed with the secrets of the starry sky with great interest. She immediately realized that only she, who had mastered astrology, could resonate with the lingering emotions.

"Starry Sky Secret Technique, a very exquisite ability." While her fashion sense was rather average, her stunning figure and appearance were undeniable assets. She nodded slightly, offering her own perspective:

"The stars see everything that happens in the world."

Can the trajectory or light of stars really predict the future? Ritz thinks it's probably not. But the stars always hang high in the sky, looking down at everything from an overhead perspective, knowing all the factors, and therefore possessing a near-omniscient characteristic.

Then, by resonating with the light of the stars through astrology, one can read what they record, and then deduce a corner of the future from the vast and complex omniscient information. In other words, as long as one has enough information, one can naturally see the corresponding future. Astrology should provide this process and the final result.

It's never a bad thing to have more abilities, so Ritz and Niwu carefully studied the stone tablet and learned the secret techniques of the starry sky recorded on it.

Both were the most outstanding geniuses in their lineage, with astonishing talents rarely matched throughout history. Moreover, they had transcended the realm of geniuses, forging their own paths and quickly grasping the basics of the Starry Sky Secret Technique. Ritz had already begun experimenting.

She raised her staff, her magic surging, as if a blinding point of light had suddenly appeared in the burning red and yellow sky, growing larger and brighter in her vision... A meteorite falling at high speed streaked across the sky, crashing into the distant earth. The mighty shockwave and roar shattered the eternal silence of the Death Star, and the dust it kicked up swept into the sky, forming a terrifying shockwave that blotted out the sun.

Out of personal preference, Ritz was most concerned with the destructive part of the Starry Sky Mystic Art.

Niwu withdrew his gaze and asked, "Rosello, did that artificial god leave any last wishes?"

Although she couldn't resonate with the deepest emotions and will, since Rossello had come specifically for the secret technique, it meant that he must have obtained something new in the Demon Realm before setting out here. Otherwise, everyone in the Demon Realm knew that Rossello had mastered astrology and held the secret technique for a long time, so why was he only now searching for the origin of astrology?

“No, it’s just some feelings of resentment and helplessness,” Rossello replied.

Now that she has obtained all the secret techniques of the starry sky, she has achieved her goal.

She asked Ritz and Niw if they had any plans to return to the Demon Realm together. Both of them said they would stay and continue to explore, as they hadn't gained much from this trip to the stars.

Rossello nodded and prepared to leave first, returning to the Demon Realm.

"Ok?"

The three of them stepped back a short distance, frowning as they stared at the stone tablet containing the Starry Sky Secret Technique. It was now trembling slightly, shaking off the dust covering its surface, and glowing as a whole.

"No, it's not just that. Back off!" Rize waved her staff, and an intricate magic circle instantly lit up beneath her feet. The three of them vanished from their spot and reappeared in the sky.

They witnessed an incredible scene: the celestial debris that had fallen on the desolate star was now all shining brightly, every single stone glowing, creating a hazy, misty atmosphere that gradually obscured all the celestial debris. At first glance, it looked like a paradise had been created, a corner of a fairyland descending to the mortal world.

"What's going on?" Niwu took out the ancient war spear, ready for battle.

Before descending upon this dead star, they had carefully explored it. There was no life on the star, nor any rare minerals or natural treasures. There were only some pure elements and a trace of magic. The harshness of the environment made people feel mentally exhausted.

The fact that those celestial debris are now glowing is absolutely against common sense.

"Could there really be a concept of a key?" Rize murmured. She and Niwu had been struggling for a long time without any luck, but Rossello's astrological resonance immediately produced an unusual phenomenon. How could this not make people wonder?

“It might not be an astrological resonance. Fallen artificial gods don’t possess this kind of power that transcends time and space. Unless they are still alive like the Mist God, they can’t cause such an anomaly.” Rossello’s expression was solemn. Her astrology showed no change after the resonance, proving that the glow of the celestial debris must have come from other forces.

Ritz's orange-yellow eyes revealed intense interest, and in an instant, they shone with a golden light as brilliant as the sun. She entered a state that was deeper and more mysterious than the Holy Spirit state. All things in the world no longer appeared in their normal state, but instead presented themselves in a purer, more essential state. A large number of illusory symbols and lights intertwined and crisscrossed, and she could see all the secrets and meanings behind all things.

She called this state of being above the Holy Spirit... "Knowledge of the Source".

Having attained a state of profound awareness, Ritz discerned the secret behind the glowing fragment of the celestial remnant and solemnly stated:
"It's incredible, how could this be? Who has such power?"

Ritz then explained to the two that an external force was slowly but firmly pulling at the celestial debris, and that these fragments of stars were about to return to their original places, each returning to its rightful place—a process that seemed perfectly natural.

They all subconsciously felt that the wreckage should have returned to its original location, not stayed there.

Who could be secretly orchestrating this event, managing to create a sense of "it should be this way"? Moreover, the star debris has already landed on the surface of this dead star, which is a process in line with the historical order, and returning to its original position doesn't seem to have any special significance.

The three of them realized something almost simultaneously, their expressions becoming more solemn than ever before. They quickly rushed out of the starry sky and looked into the distance. Sure enough, the surfaces of many dead stars were glowing, and they were all covered with fragments of celestial bodies that had been scattered after the ancient Terra star system was destroyed.

“Perhaps half the universe is shining with light.” Rossello’s beautiful eyes were fixed on the scene, her voice trembling slightly, because she discovered that it wasn’t just the remnants of matter that were glowing; some seemingly empty planets were also suddenly illuminated by shattered laws, shining like blazing suns in the sky. A little calculation revealed that this was the aftermath of the divine war.

"Contact our senior brother." Niwu made a quick decision, believing that the current situation was beyond their control.

Even with Ritz's Eye of Knowledge, which revealed some secrets, she couldn't discover the source of the sudden power. Everything that happened seemed terrifyingly... inevitable.

Then, Niwu frowned deeply, met the gazes of Rize and Rossello, and said:
"I can't cross boundaries; the things my senior brother gave me can't transmit their vibrations."

Rossello nodded slightly, then asked warily, "Mine is the same. The star field seems to be sealed. Rize, what about you?" Rize, who had activated her Eye of Knowledge, paused for a moment, the light in her eyes gradually dimming, and calmly said, "I don't have anything like what you Night Forest possesses."

She felt that she and Ye Lin were good friends, and since Master Alice and he were husband and wife, she and Ye Lin could be considered relatives if she had to say.

Rossello coughed lightly; she had already subconsciously come to regard Ryze as family, and quickly said:
"Don't worry, the anomaly in the star field should be bidirectional. The leader will definitely notice that our communication has been cut off."

Niwu nodded, perhaps his senior brother was already on his way.

Ritz remained silent, closed his eyes for a moment, then reactivated his Source of Knowledge state. This time, the light shone even brighter. He casually remarked, "Niwu, you seem a little different than before."

The former rune master Niwu discovered the secret of the Beyana bloodline within him and created a rune technique that amazed everyone. From being almost unknown to rising to prominence, he defeated all the strongmen except Alice at the first Demon Realm Alliance meeting. At that time, Niwu was only fourteen years old.

Afterwards, Niwu led the Oathguard, composed of battle mages, to fight against the Kashu faction of the Black-Eyed Demon Emperor Shallefuz. Never showing weakness, the girl achieved proud victories in the Demon Realm with her battle spear.

So what Ritz was thinking was... unlike Rossello, who was redeemed by Night Forest, Niwu had been famous for a long time, was naturally strong, and had a proud personality. Shouldn't he be thinking about solving his own problems first? Why would he suddenly act strangely and call his senior brother?

Could it be that the saccharine scent of romance has given this young girl a psychological dependence?

Niwu smiled, understanding the true meaning Ritz was trying to convey. Her tone suddenly turned slightly melancholic as she whispered:

"After I opened the lineage of the Aura, I defeated the signature powerhouses of various forces at the age of fourteen. I only lost to Alice. For a time, my sharpness was on full display and I was unstoppable. However, it also inevitably gave rise to some pride and complacency. I thought I had the power to deal with most events in the Demon Realm, including going toe-to-toe with the Apostles."

Later, during an operation, Niwu led his men into the Harlem region as needed, where they encountered the core high-ranking emissary of the Kashul faction, Walkman, and Dorhead. Although Niwu successfully fought his way out of Harlem, some of his members unfortunately perished in that battle.

Niwu paused, shook his head quickly, and said decisively, "Even your Eye of Knowledge can't see the problem. Things are clearly beyond expectations, and this concerns Terra. We can't afford to be careless in the slightest. I don't want to do something so risky when there are safer methods available."

"I don't want to lose any more friends."

Ritz lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and said, "Let's try to go back."

If divine thoughts or tokens are ineffective, try to cross the material void in your own form and attempt to return to Terra at this level.

Rossello attempted to open the portal, but the other side of the space was filled with distorted light and void storms, pointing to an unknown location that was no longer safe and filled him with dread.

The three of them set off together, traversing the void towards the coordinates of the Arad Continent. Along the way, many stars shone with light, which could be a piece of ruins, a piece of past law, or even some extremely inconspicuous dust.

“That is…!” Ritz suddenly stopped in his tracks, staring at a piece of not-so-large debris on a certain planet, about a hundred miles in diameter. The key was that the surface of the debris had a lot of architectural traces, towering skyscrapers, and well-organized parks and squares. Although they were all broken and cracked, their general outlines were still clear.

This fragment was also glowing, creating a sense of returning to its original place, a feeling that was only natural.

“The Demon Realm, no, it’s the fragments of Terra,” Rizz said solemnly.

They saw a small fragment of the ancient planet Terra, which shared the same essence as the Demon Realm. Both were part of that glorious planet, and the familiar aura was unmistakable.

"Is that star field about to be reshaped? Will the past return?" Rossello was also staring at the fragments of Terra. It seemed that the astrological prophecy was about to come true.

boom!
Suddenly, a mental storm struck without warning, extremely terrifying. Caught off guard, the three fell into a brief state of unconsciousness, blood flowing from their mouths and noses, unable to control their bodies, and unable to regain their consciousness.

When they regained consciousness, they immediately discovered a terrifying scene: the fragments of stars were slowly rising from the ground, floating in the air, emitting a dazzling light, as if they were all about to converge in one place.

Enormous debris, shattered laws, tiny dust particles... all that belonged to that star field was returning to its original place. In an instant, the primordial universe was filled with brilliant light, one after another, like an endless rain of light. The dark background was stained with light, magnificent and grand, vast and sacred.

The three of them were also uncontrollably drawn to fly towards the original site of Ancient Terra along with the fragments. Rize remained calm, quickly analyzed the situation, and said:
"Are we also part of Ancient Terra? No, we are the power we control."

If things are already this difficult for them, then the situation in Terra City, the core of ancient Terra and also known as the Demon Realm, is probably even more dire. Will Ye Lin be able to spare any resources to help?

Niwu took a deep breath and instantly transformed into Valkyrie mode. Holding the ancient spear, the artifact of the elemental goddess Pushia, she activated it with all her might. The source of the dazzling patterns - the ancient divine light - transformed into a huge spear of light. The blazing divine light slashed towards the seemingly empty universe and starry sky, tearing apart that omnipresent sense of restriction, and her body suddenly felt relaxed.

"Walk."

The three of them went all out and headed towards the coordinates of the Arad continent.

The farther they were from the original site of Ancient Terra, the less they felt pulled and restricted. When the three of them returned to the Demon Realm that parasitized the continent of Arad, they were all stunned and speechless.

The Demon Realm is the most prosperous and central city in Terra, and theoretically should be under the strongest scrutiny and return to its rightful place. However, with the Arad Continent at its core, the entire star field is eerily quiet, without a single ray of light.

The three of them arrived in Brooklyn, at Moller Valley in Herder's village. The lush vegetation and fragrant flowers made them think for a moment that everything they had just experienced was just an illusion.
