Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

Chapter 715 God-Given City
In just a second or two, the floating island became bare.

The clear starlight from the sky flowed quietly as if it had substance, outlining layer upon layer of buildings that overlapped each other. Just the outlines that were revealed were so shocking that it was hard to look away.

Gradually, colors appeared on the city outlined by the bright starlight, as if it was made up of a vast number of imaginary things, wandering in chaos and combining with each other.

In the perfect place of the astral world, a golden Rubik's Cube engraved with many symbolic signs and magical symbols rotates spontaneously until the patterns on each side are complete.

A burst of golden light was about to appear when it was dissolved into nothingness.

Strands of black mist condensed into substance and emerged out of thin air, intertwining into a figure with eyes and a black cloak, who took the golden Rubik's Cube in his hand.

As he moved, black mist continued to overflow from his body and penetrated into the golden Rubik's Cube, casting a shadow on the surface of the golden Rubik's Cube.

As the golden cube was sealed, the surroundings suddenly went from noon to dusk.

"Almost there." Muttering to himself, Renekton casually threw the golden Rubik's Cube out.

After doing all this, his figure quickly disintegrated and turned back into pure black mist, merging with this kingdom of God again.

The golden sunlight flashed across the starry sky, and sank directly into the reality of the ghost empire covered by starlight, disappearing among the floating colors of light.

As if some kind of catalyst had been added, the light on the floating island quickly condensed and turned into actual high-rise buildings of bizarre shapes, tens or even hundreds of meters high, connected to each other by complex spider-web-like roads.

In the center of these tall buildings is a tower mainly golden in color, dotted with stars.

The bright stars in the sky disappeared at some point, and the not-too-bright sunlight once again fell on the earth, illuminating the tower that was hundreds of meters high, emitting a brilliant golden light. The light spread along the patterns engraved on the tower to the ground, extending to every corner of the city.

In less than two seconds, this strange city standing on the floating island was lit up. The blue, white, red, and green lights appeared dim in the daytime sunlight, like stars decorating the city.

In the astonished eyes of everyone, the city seemed to come alive, revealing its strange, gorgeous and magnificent side.

Its existence seems to transcend time and the limits of people's imagination. It is not a creation of the current society or any era. It is a kind of miracle.

Roselle's figure was projected in the sky again. He opened his hands, looked down at everyone below, and said in a relaxed tone:

"Welcome to the capital of Southern Intis, the city blessed by God, the place of highest attainments in miracles and art, the gathering place of knowledge and civilization, Myris."

"Any seeker of knowledge, every citizen of South Intis, and believer in knowledge and civilization are welcome here."

"The coronation ceremony and celebration will be held here. Everyone, the ferry bus of Myris has stopped at the port. Please move. What you will witness next is the miracle of Southern Intis."

As Roselle finished speaking, the crowd in the city below became uncontrollably agitated. They were noisy and excited, whispering to each other, and occasionally standing on tiptoe to look around, urging the people in front of them to hurry up.

On the other side of the sea, stars appeared out of thin air one after another, densely packed, dazzling, and casting rays of starlight.

Under the operation of the "astrologers", the scattered starlight miraculously constructed long transparent and dazzling bridges, connecting the cities and ships descending from the sky.

On the starlit "Future", Cattleya turned her head slightly and said to the crew behind her:
"Let's go there too."

As the navigator, Ottolov subconsciously asked:

"Everyone coming together? No one needs to be left to guard the ship?"

Cattleya shook her head and said, "Not necessary here."

After saying that, her body, lifted up by the starlight, flew directly to the long bridge full of starlight and walked forward.

Behind her, Frank, Ottolov, Nina and others also jumped onto the long bridge of starlight, following their captain's pace, whispering to each other from time to time, guessing what the interior of the strange city ahead would look like.

Above the gray fog, Klein and Renekton watched this scene together. After sighing, he looked at Renekton and asked:

"Is this the ability of the Perfect One? To create a city out of thin air?"

"It's not fabricated." Renekton shook his head and explained, "Roselle and I had already prepared the blueprints and materials. I just skipped the construction process and completed it directly."

"This is the direction I set for the future development of this world. With the initial goal in place, the development of society and civilization will move in this direction under various direct or indirect influences."

“Do you want to go down and take a look? It’s so boring to watch the live broadcast alone?” Aren’t you a human? After complaining in his mind, Klein nodded expressionlessly.

After the brief exchange, Klein relied on himself to pray to himself and respond to his own way. He used the Box of the Old Ones placed above the gray fog to transfer his real body directly to Russell.

The "God-given City" Myris ahead was protected by divine power and rules. He could not move there directly, so he could only choose to settle in nearby Lessel and take the shuttle bus with the surrounding people.

In the God-forsaken Land, in the conference room on top of the round tower in the center of the City of Silver.

Derrick participated in the meeting as the new elder of the six-member council, and personally described the detailed process of the exploration of the Giant King's Court and the final results.

Finally, he added: "According to Mr. Fool's suggestion, outside the gate of the Giant King's Palace is the Sea of ​​Ruins. Through that dangerous sea, we will be able to enter the normal world outside."

“However.” Derrick paused and spoke in a lower tone.
"But now that sea of ​​ruins has undergone a major change. The rules that we originally summarized are no longer applicable. We need to explore again, or find other ways to directly skip that area."

Opposite Derrick, a bald man with a dark green symbol tattooed on his head, nearly two meters and a half tall, nodded and asked:
"Where is Gehrman Sparrow who helped you explore the Giant King's Court?"

"He has left, with the help of Mr. Fool."

Derrick paused for a moment, and after realizing what Elder Waite wanted to ask, he shook his head and said:
"Mr. Sparrow is Mr. Fool's follower, and we have too many people in Silver City."

"I will try to seek help from others at the next gathering. Perhaps some beings at the angel level will be able to help me."

Colin Iliad raised his hand, interrupting the other elders' questions. He looked around and finally looked at Derrick and said:
"Afterwards, Elder Derrick led an exploration team to the Giant King's Court to find a way to pass through the sea of ​​ruins."

"The rest of the elders will stay in Silver City in batches and go out to hunt monsters and collect extraordinary characteristics and materials. These are the best bargaining chips we can use for trading."

With no one opposing Chief Colin Iliad's proposal, Derrick's first meeting of the six-member council ended.

Even after he walked out of the round tower and heard the guards' greetings, Derrick still felt a little unreal, and was somewhat unable to adapt to the changes brought about by his identity as an elder.

The "God-given City" Myris, originally oppressed by the split of Intis, the return of Emperor Roselle, the changes in faith and the church, and the people who were confused about the future, were gradually attracted by this gorgeous city, forgetting their troubles and only being amazed.

The people on the "Future" who boarded the city from the other side dispersed in twos and threes, looking around curiously, reaching out to touch the surroundings from time to time, without the demeanor and awareness of extraordinary people at all.

An island from the Archipelago Province couldn't help but fantasize:
"The Archipelago Province has also been assigned to South Intis. When I make enough money, maybe I can live here in the future."

The boatswain Nina looked around and retorted:

"Only the most faithful believers would have the opportunity to come to a place like this, unless every day is a celebration or festival like today, or you are willing to abandon your belief in storms and embrace knowledge."

While speaking, she turned her head to look at Cattleya beside her, seeking her opinion.

The latter shook his head and said calmly:
"Since the Emperor said that any Southern Intis person can come here, it must be true. However, if too many people come here, there will inevitably be some screening mechanism."

"How do you screen? Do you look at their devotion to their faith? Or their contributions to the country?" Nina asked.

Cattleya shook her head slightly and said, "Maybe it's all of them, or maybe it's the breadth of knowledge."

The navigator Ottolov chuckled and said with a gloating look:
"Hey, it's true. This is a standard that most pirates can't reach. They may not even recognize all the words, but believers in 'knowledge' like us are an exception."

"I can already imagine my leisurely and wonderful old age."

Frank, who seemed to be lacking interest, frowned and asked in a somewhat incomprehensible way:
"Why do you want to live in this city? There is not even a plant here. It is full of steel, glass and cement. There is no sign of life at all. It is a terrible environment."

Nina snorted and said somewhat dissatisfiedly:
"Frank, not everyone likes living in the wild. That often means sleeping with mosquitoes."

"The herbal medicine to repel mosquitoes is simple." Flanders argued.

“It’s not about the herbs; it’s about…”

Nina's words were suddenly stuck, and she saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure suddenly appear in front of her.

Russell was wearing a dark red coat with rusty gold thread, had long curly chestnut hair, blue eyes, a high nose bridge, and a beautifully groomed mustache.
