Returning from the abyss

Within the crystallized area, no living things exist. Those plants were already dead when they crystallized to such an extent, which resulted in a place that looked sacred but was full of the smell of death.

However, it is difficult to deduce which god this is from this appearance alone. There are more than a hundred gods among the six major gods, and people are not the group of angels who can directly talk to the gods. All their understanding of the gods comes from According to the classics, even during war times, most people cannot see the battlefield.

When approaching the deep area, the crystallization has not only changed the stones and vegetation, but even the air is covered with fragile crystal wire mesh. These nets can be easily broken by vehicles, but Lu Ning is not sure whether the god in the center will feel it when they are destroyed.

As for blowing some bacterial colonies in, Lu Ning tried it. These fragile colonies will turn into crystals as soon as they leave the anti-pollution range of the vehicle.

However, the pollution readings finally stabilized, or reached an extreme value. It seems that the same is true even in the internal crystalline network area. After all, that god cannot create such contaminated areas indefinitely.

"Take out the things you prepared." Lu Ning said.

A team member stuffed a cylindrical object into the launch chamber of the vehicle, and then pulled the handle next to it. With a muffled sound, the cannonball was shot into the sky. As the cannonball exploded, some gray-brown material turned into clouds.

This thing was inspired by the Great Purifier, the thing invented by the angels. Although the pollution of the demons is still waste with little use value, it can only play some role when encountering the gods.

Although people can't differentiate between races like Angel's Great Purifier, Chen Geng already had another way - just turn on the pollution protection when throwing this away.

The pollutants falling from the sky indeed triggered a divine reaction. The fragile crystal net was instantly covered with a large number of thorns. They met the pollutants from the sky at a speed completely inconsistent with their previous state, and then swallowed them up. .

"You are truly worthy of being a god..." Lu Ning praised.

This speed is a little slower than the monsters that fell in from several layers of the world, but the accuracy is indeed very high. You must know that most of the pollution is in powder form, but now it has been captured without fail.

However, crystal wires were used in large quantities to swallow up pollution, and they also made way for everyone. Lu Ning drove the vehicle and quickly accelerated into the depths of the canyon.

The closer Lu Ning got, the more oppressive the things in the valley brought to people. Different from the demons encountered before, this sense of oppression comes from a kind of historical majesty, which is the pressure accumulated by the existence that once dominated this world.

When the vehicle crossed a low slope, Lu Ning and the team members felt their hearts skip a beat.

The space behind the slope was a huge deep pit, as if it had been hit by a meteorite. In the pit, crystals have wrapped up the rising dust and turned them into shields. Through the surface of the crystal, Lu Ning could see what was wrapped in the egg-shell-like crystal at the bottom of the pit.

The iron-gray armor completely covered it, even its face was obscured. A serrated sword was stuck in front of him, like a tombstone. If it hadn't been for the moment when he saw the crystal capture pollution, Lu Ning would have thought that the thing in front of him was just a corpse.

About the same height as a human.

"That...is a god?"

Even Garuda couldn't help but be surprised. Even though he was a demi-human hero, he had never thought that gods looked like this. In addition to the unique serrated sword, the equipment on this god is not even as bright as the angel's, as if he is just a soldier.

The vehicle stopped in front of the crystal shell. Lu Ning took out a brooch and pinned it on her chest. This portable pollution protection device could provide short-term protection. She needed to see how this god was doing.

And Garuda and others were left on the vehicle by her. Such exquisite protective devices were of course not mass-produced products. They were given to her by Chang Zaihao, and there were not many of them.

She reached out to touch and stepped over the crystals, but no counterattack was triggered. After all, the gods regard the demons as their opponents, and it seems that they will not launch attacks at will against ordinary people. After Lu Ning confirmed this, she boldly walked through the gaps between the crystal shells, and soon reached the innermost layer, which she could no longer pass.

This place is only about three meters away from the god. Lu Ning stood still holding on to the crystal wall, carefully examining the state of the god. She couldn't see breathing or any signs of life activity. Even if she tapped lightly, there was no response.

"How...eh?"

The double sun in the afternoon cast light, and Lu Ning, who was not sure how to call this god for a while, discovered that there were writings engraved on the inner wall of the crystal - the words of angels.

Since the crystal is almost completely transparent, these words are completely invisible unless you look carefully, but the angle of the light is just right so that they can be barely legible. Lu Ning squinted her eyes to distinguish each character, and immediately determined that this was written by the god inside for the people outside, because the handwriting was correct.

"Your Majesty the Wisdom Sage, Commander of the Vanguard of the Demon Clan Resistance Army, Detonation Core Stigama, I am writing this at this moment." Lu Ning read it out slowly and burned it into the photo crystal he carried with him.

The vanguard army encountered the combined forces of the Heavenly Demon and the Balrog and started a great battle. All three floating islands of wisdom crashed, and the Heavenly Demon and the Balrog were all annihilated. However, the vanguard army has been reduced to ten, and it is difficult to complete the previous tasks. Enemy support is about to arrive and it is judged that it is difficult to continue the battle.

Among the remnants of the legion, the elder returned quickly to deliver the message, and the rest formed a rear force with me to stop the demons. I don't know if the message was sent back, but I was seriously injured and luckily survived, so I needed to recover from hibernation. In the dormant state, most recognition and counterattack functions will be turned off, only targeting demons.

If I unfortunately fail to wake up, whoever sees this message please record the following words and pass them on to the civilizations that still exist in the world today.

In previous deep excavations, we have found remains wandering in time and space. Almost all the complete legacies of the bygone civilizations are there.

But we found no bones, either human or monster. It's strange, pre-civilizations can't completely annihilate their existence, and neither can the apocalypse. Long-term apocalyptic research shows that disasters and civilization must still exist somewhere, but we have not yet found a way to reach them.

We found a piece of the most valuable information, the information left by the first generation.

This civilization was destroyed by the twelve known doomsdays. They had proud technology, powerful magic, and unparalleled racial advantages, but they still perished and failed to even leave anything in reality. There is only a little bit of information left by them at the starting point of that time.

"The Trace of the God of Scenery."

That was the achievement achieved by the first generation of civilization with all their strength. They finally touched the true face of the world. Even though they only left this one word and then died, they still wanted to write this word from the starting point of time.

It's a pity that there are no more.

We must uncover the truth. We must know why.

We must reach the end.

This is our mission as masters of knowledge and wisdom.

This is the driving force flowing deep in our souls.

The content of the text ends here. After Lu Ning carved them all in, he clicked the spell pen on the crystal shell.

"Better pray that you are alive, God. I may have to use some rough methods to wake you up."

She wrote a line of incantation on the shell, and then stuck the pen in the gap of the crystal behind her. After making all preparations, she started to get out along the way she came in.

After returning to the vehicle, Lu Ning immediately drove back. She didn't stop the car until she returned to the entrance of the canyon.

"You guys get ready."

After saying this, Garuda and others immediately reached out and grabbed the surrounding handrails.

"Next..."

She activated the magic left on the spell pen.

Penetrating the realm still requires her to use the spell pen to strengthen her spellcasting, especially now that she needs to have remote effects. When that trace of magic penetrated the god's defenseless spiritual sea, Lu Ning even felt a surge of anger.

But she cut it off very quickly, not even waiting for the god to vent his anger. But there was an earthquake in the canyon, and all the crystals began to lose their transparent form, and turbid substances emerged from the inside of the crystals.

A pillar of fire shot into the sky.

Lu Ning could feel the heat of the outside world in the vehicle. The god sleeping in the canyon finally woke up and restrained the power of the surrounding gods more quickly than expected. A scorching figure emerged from the pillar of fire. It was still the same armor, but the armor that had been turned into a white-hot state by the high temperature was much more majestic than what he had seen before.

Wings composed of a large number of flames extended like rays of light behind the armor. The serrated sword was wrapped in red light, and the neat golden spots that lit up in sequence on the armor added a sense of order to it. God just turned around and discovered the car parked outside the canyon.

In the moment of tension, the god did not launch an attack, but just held up a small object, which was the spell pen left by Lu Ning.

"Huh, luckily I wrote the reminder in advance." Lu Ning let out a sigh of relief.

The incantation she wrote on the crystal shell using the same reverse writing method was also to indicate her identity. The reason for using the incantation was also because the demons could not use this kind of magic, so the god must know that she was not a demon.

"Let's go out." Lu Ning glanced at the meter reading. Now the pollution level has been directly reduced to almost zero. God's control over his own power is indeed very strong. With such huge pollution, even if Chen Geng's professional team is not there, Even if it is disturbed, it will take two or three days to reduce it to normal levels.

After everyone left the vehicle, Lu Ning raised her hand first and waved to the god. She didn't care if doing so would cause dissatisfaction from the gods. Anyway, neither she nor the others she brought with her had any faith.

And the god really didn't care. After confirming the identities of Lu Ning and others, he slowly descended, and at the same time began to restrain the fire on his body, lowering the surrounding temperature.

"Hello, Stigama." Lu Ning saluted this god. As a pioneer officer in the rear, this god is still worthy of respect.

"Humans." Stigama looked at Lu Ning, then looked behind her, "Demi-humans, orcs. It seems that the war is over, but it has also left a lot of pain on the Haifa continent. Race There is already a tendency to unite, which is good.”

"It's great that you have already judged the situation in the outside world." Lu Ning smiled, "Now we are uniting various races and trying to rebuild our homeland. In addition to the creations left on the battlefield, our biggest enemy is It’s just the pollution left by the war.”

"Sorry, human." Stigama stretched out his hand and handed the spell pen to Lu Ning, "We have no time to worry about whether our attack will cause large-scale pollution. The demons are coming with an aggressive force, and we don't have much room for maneuver. . The angels have tried their best to launch a counterattack, but the demons have been planning for a long time, and we have been at a disadvantage from the beginning of the war."

"You don't need to explain these." Lu Ning said, "Although most people have left the faith, everyone who has experienced the war will not deny the actions of the gods in the war. It's just... the destruction of their homeland, please forgive me, I’m afraid no one will believe in gods anymore.”

"It doesn't matter, we don't rely on faith to live." Stigama knocked on his armor, "I didn't expect that I would wake up one day. The commander-level flame core armor was damaged to that extent. I didn't even think about it. I don’t expect it to be able to heal me anymore.”

"War armor... this is the weapon you rely on, right? Sir Stigama, I wonder what its status is now?"

"Not bad, not bad. Most of the functions have been damaged. Fortunately, my own magic power matches its magic power pool, and the basic energy drive method still works... Oh, can you understand what I mean?"

"Okay. Let me take the liberty of asking one more question..." Lu Ning stared at the helmet that was almost tightly sealed, "This is more of a large operable mechanical vehicle than a battle armor, right? Goblin Your Mightiness?"

Stigama was silent for a moment and then said: "Humans, you have come a long way on the road to explore the truth, which is good. I - we are goblins, as you know. But I absolutely cannot Unlock the armor, and only under its obstruction can we live in peace."

"You still can't resist the urge?"

"We spent a lot of time and the lives of our tribe to develop the isolation technology." Stigama said, "The civilization at that time provided us with a lot of help. To express our gratitude, we used their most powerful methods at the time to express our gratitude. The names of the famous six heroes have given us the names that will be shown to the world in later generations. However, it took a long time from theory to actual development. When we can finally meet each other without natural hatred, our Friends and their civilization are gone too.”

"This is... in the records, there is a civilization that has survived the end of the mythical race." Lu Ning nodded, "And the angels are your memorial to your friends."
