Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2555 The Sea of ​​Sin, Crystallization, and the Blade
Upside-down Lake, the wisdom of etching, depth three.

Ah Fei, knife in hand, leaped over the gray feathers on the ground.

His movements were slow, but fortunately the latter remained completely still, and not a single piece of clothing got on him.

It wasn't that I intentionally wanted to describe it this way, but I must say that the scene at that moment really evoked the feeling of "the moon shining brightly over the horizon."

Although we are actually in the deep sea, all we can see are tiny lights.

Hunter Afei was clearly shocked to discover that the logistics were so good, with the armory right behind him.

But after the initial shock, his overly genuine state of mind gave him a genuine sense of security, and he walked steadily into the distance.

Fu Qian followed behind, neither too fast nor too slow.

This is the third session of Etching Wisdom. This place is undoubtedly becoming more and more familiar, but not necessarily more and more clear.

As the area became increasingly dilapidated, bizarre sights also began to appear one after another.

Although, in my opinion, there may not be a clear degree of depth among the wisdom of etching, there is indeed a feeling of falling into a deeper dream.

So, why did this development occur?
First and foremost, the inverted lake is undoubtedly the core element.

The Wisdom of Etching has never been triggered so frequently in one place, let alone with such seamless transitions.

Secondly, no matter what, one cannot help but be the source of the problem oneself.

Regardless of whether the effects are positive or negative, the wisdom of etching is theoretically one's own ability.

It is obtained by observing the flesh and blood formed by the pollution of this place.

In short, it was a two-way journey.

Chaos combined with a sin-seeking body has created this never-ending fallacy.

Even other powerful figures were drawn in by this curiosity, and became entangled in it in various ways.

So why is this place a place of chaos?

The situation didn't look too optimistic, but at that moment, the only thing that Fu Qian cared about was this ultimate question.

……

The exploratory accident at the academy back then was actually already somewhat explained in theory.

A far older academy of stargazers, in order to study the beginning and end of the world, moved an observation point to the Upside-Down Lake of the Ash Sea.

However, due to certain accidents, it was ultimately destroyed here.

By chance, the academy found relevant clues and subsequently organized a powerful team.

Little did they know that their actions were already shrouded in shadow, with the ancient powerful being, Radiant Rainbow, playing a special role in them.

In the end, the team was almost completely wiped out, and the Upside-Down Lake disappeared once again.

Silky smooth yet brutal, but what is the reason for all of this?
The location of the crash site is taboo knowledge. Not only did I lose a huge amount of sanity there, but I also witnessed the price that stargazers paid for forcibly approaching that point.

But is it the beginning of the world, or the extraordinary end?
Or both?
The strangest thing about stargazers is that when they talk about calculating the answer, they never make a clear distinction between the two.

Is it both the beginning and the answer?
That's a bit abstract, although we can't really rule out that possibility right now.

Furthermore, even if we put this issue aside for now, what does the crash site have to do with Upside-Down Lake?

The latter seems to be related to the divine path that Su Gao took, which means it almost certainly involves a superior being. Was it caused by His fall? Or is it some kind of contingency plan after His return?

Don't forget that during previous explorations, we discovered numerous large wonders within the Ash Sea, which seemed to originate from different rulers, making them resemble traces of the fallen gods.

What is the relationship between the gods and the one who created the upside-down lake?

There is simply too much missing information, and the whole picture is too complex to form a coherent narrative. Fortunately, there seems to be one thing we can grasp for now—that "He" is most likely not the sun, or the Radiant Rainbow, or the Chief Judge.

In other words, He hasn't appeared yet. But in this more chaotic situation, the probability of finding Him seems to be higher.

Also, don't forget there's one more thing that hasn't appeared yet—crystallization.

That substance, which could very well have been the root cause of the academy's entire team's annihilation, has yet to be found...

While it was thinking silently, the tentacles around the fake eye quickly extended into a small hand, which lifted it directly from the eye socket to its face and waved it a few times.

Unfortunately, it didn't trigger any special reaction.

Fu Qian even doubted that even if he lost it, most of what he saw would not disappear.

As mentioned earlier, one is essentially the core of the Etching Wisdom; this thing at most serves as a trigger.

"Shall we go outside?"

Just as Fu Qian was doing something terrifying, A Fei in front of him stopped and turned around to ask a question.

Seemingly slow but actually fast, the two had already returned the way they came, and even arrived at the hall behind the door.

Ah Fei seemed to want to confirm whether the focus of the work next should be inside the building or the lake outside.

"No need, there's still a lot inside that needs cleaning."

Fu Qian shook his head decisively, without even taking the prosthetic eye back.

……

It caused some shock, but with the armory-like design in front of him, Afei could still withstand it for the time being.

Without uttering a word or hesitating, he immediately followed the instructions and continued forward.

And prepayment continues to follow suit.

Of course, it's not out of boredom or idleness; there's a purpose to going through all this trouble to cultivate talent.

As we can see from the previous discussion, the most important task at present is to try to find the possible owner of the crystallization and the inverted lake.

However, given the severe lack of information, there doesn't seem to be much of a clue on how to find it—or at least it seems so.

True professionals learn to grasp things amidst chaos, rather than simply inputting information and outputting plans—something machines can do.

The previous two attempts involved role-playing and physical pressure.

Some results have been achieved, but overall it is almost like opening a blind box, whatever comes your way is what you get.

Therefore, it seems that there is room for improvement on this basis – for example, through agent role-playing and applying pressure through violence.

……

That's right, it's still a case of knocking on the door to kill.

To attempt anything too complex without a clear lack of intelligence is simply being presumptuous.

The plan for the future is actually quite simple: continue sweeping through the land, but in a manner befitting an evil god.

Pollution and corruption, through which other individuals carry out their will.

For example, besides verbal brainwashing, when he touched Afei's knife earlier, he casually attached a blessing of calamity to it and urged him to pass on this blessing to others.

At first glance, it seems unnecessary. What difference is there between this and killing him directly?
No, believers are both the hardest hit areas in the power struggle between evil gods and the buffer zones.

Such a massive King of Abandoned Prison would be difficult to control if he were to crush his opponents, and would weaken too many will-wielding practitioners. He might even be able to collect more karmic obstacles as he walks.

Seemingly minor improvements may well become the key to success or failure.

As for the specific route?
"This way."

Fu Qian recalled the places he had visited before, compared them with the parts that were still relatively intact, and gestured towards the steps leading up to them.
