Tantric family to divine dynasty

Chapter 522: Rebuilding the City and Book Number

On that night interwoven with stars and fantastic fantasies, a city in the Qiyao Empire on the continent of Oden quietly underwent an unprecedented transformation.

As night falls, the sky is no longer a tranquil canvas dotted with stars, but is covered with countless precise and huge brass gears. They rotate slowly, flashing a cold metallic luster, as if it were a huge mechanical device in the sky that is beyond human comprehension.

The gears meshed with each other, making a low, rhythmic roar, foreshadowing the miracle that was about to happen.

Standing under a strange sky, Cardinal "Brass Gear" of the Recast Church looks up at the sky.

"This city is great. Although many Qiyao people's faith has become shaky due to the God of War, some have chosen to convert because of the coming of the God of Reforging... because they fear the power of the True God, right?"

"In short, this is another city where half of the population believes in the Recast True God. This is very good, very good."

"The ritual has already begun, so you can get what you want!"

As the first ray of morning light gradually emerged from the horizon, the appearance of the city gradually became clear in the morning light, but it was no longer what it looked like yesterday.

In just one night, the city seemed to be cast under an ancient and strange magic, and reshaped with unparalleled craftsmanship - it became a steampunk wonderland made entirely of machines.

The original stone buildings on both sides of the street were replaced by soaring steel towers, inlaid with complex gears, pistons and steam pipes, which kept turning and releasing soft clouds of steam.

In the middle of the street, horse-drawn carriages and cars were replaced by various steam-powered vehicles, shuttling back and forth, leaving behind steam trails. Bridges were transformed into huge steam-driven suspension bridges. The park not only had traditional fountains and sculptures, but also automatic music boxes and moving mechanical animals.

The pedestrians were in a trance and did not feel any special changes in the environment around them, as if they had been born to live in such a city.

Their accessories and tools are full of futuristic sense - pocket watches have become precise timekeeping instruments, glasses inlaid with gems can display various information, and even the leather shoes on their feet are hidden secrets with built-in springs and gears.

A huge steam clock tower once again stands in the heart of the city, serving as the energy core of the entire city.

At every hour, the complex mechanism inside the clock tower will start immediately. Along with the melodious bells, countless gears and pistons work together to release brilliant light and powerful steam waves, illuminating the entire city like daylight, while also providing a steady supply of powerful power to every corner of the city.

The "Brass Gear" stares at everything in front of it.

"The recasting is complete."

"This is the third city to be recast... We only need to recast half of the cities in the world of Krad, and then the entire civilization will become a ritual sacrifice for the coming of our Lord."

"Fischer family, your Dawn Cult is stalling for time, which is exactly what I want. We, the Reforged Church, also need more time to complete the changes in this world."

A fanatical look appeared in his eyes, and he muttered to himself:

"Then the whole world will be recast, and everything will be perfect!"

-

Sapphire Library.

On another continent in the world of Krad, in a deep valley shrouded in clouds and mist, there is a mysterious building unknown to most people - the Sapphire Library.

This library is not made of bricks and stones, but is carved from a huge piece of sapphire that emits a faint blue glow. The outer wall of the library will change into different blue tones as the sun rises and the moon sets, gradually changing from light blue in the morning light to dark blue in the night. The entrance is covered by an archway inlaid with finely carved silver edges, and ancient runes are engraved on the door.

It is said that only those visitors with pure hearts and chosen ones can decipher the secrets and open the door to the ocean of knowledge.

Actually, this is not the case.

Without the consent of Curator Sapphire, no one can enter this magnificent ancient library.

The old man in the blue robe walked into the library. The whole space seemed mysterious and peaceful. The towering bookshelves stretched from the ground to the dome like giants guarding knowledge, and each layer was densely packed with various books.

These books are not made of ordinary paper, but are made of various exotic materials: some sparkle with star-like light, some emit a warm woody scent, and others seem to contain the pulse of life, and you can hear subtle whispers when you gently turn the pages.

Every book here carries an extraordinary heritage. Some record lost magic spells, some contain the wisdom of ancient civilizations, and others are discussion notes on the mysteries of the universe and the origin of life.

"The elements of destruction are reviving..."

"If we can make good use of them, becoming a god is not impossible. It's just that that thing, the most terrifying god from the outside world, is also counting down to its revival." Director Sapphire pondered for a long time. Returning to the world of Crad is not a safe option. Once the end is revived, the whole world will turn into nothingness in an instant.

Compared to ordinary people, his power is like that of a god, unfathomable and unattainable. However, compared to the existence of the level of the otherworldly gods, there is actually no essential difference between him and ordinary people.

He is very self-aware.

"But for countless years, I have traveled through many worlds, and every opportunity to become a god has required pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth... Relying only on the Philosopher's Stone to become a quasi-god may be able to move smoothly, but to become a true god, more power is needed."

The old man calmly walked towards the deepest part of the Sapphire Library, where a unique treasure was hidden - a strange book imprisoned in a brilliant emerald ball of light.

The light ball looks like something carved from the purest jade in nature, emitting a soft and deep light, making everything around it look mysterious and dreamy.

If the Emerald Elf March were here, he would be astonished to find that the emerald-colored ball of light is the sacred object of the elves that he has been searching for nearly a hundred years - the New Green Star!
In fact, for nearly a hundred years, March has not been able to find the new green star. There is no other reason, but because the person who took away this holy object of the elves a hundred years ago was the Sapphire Curator.

He has kept this holy relic hidden in this ancient library, and even if all the elves searched for it like crazy, it would be of no use.

"The holy objects of the elves are not the point at all. The objects that the elves have been guarding for generations are wrong in the first place... The things inside are the most important."

The book hidden in the emerald ball of light is not something that can be compared to ordinary objects. It is the key to the mysteries of the universe.

Number "One" among the forbidden wonders!
The most powerful forbidden object commonly referred to as "Book" is named "Book of Omniscience"!
The cover of the book is engraved with countless unknown ancient runes, each stroke contains endless energy and stories. The pages are woven from unknown materials, light yet tough. It seems as if you can hear the whisper of time when you turn the pages. You can imagine that every page inside records rare miracles in the world, the secrets of lost civilizations, and the mysteries of the stars in the universe.

It is said that anyone who peeks into this book will gain unprecedented power! Even the possibility of becoming a god!
However, this wonderful book is not to be read casually.

For a hundred years, Curator Sapphire has tried almost every possible means, but has not been able to get the books inside.

"What a pity! I have obtained one of the six elements of destruction, but I cannot use its power."

There was an unprecedented enthusiasm, excitement, regret, remorse and disappointment in the old man's eyes.

It is tightly wrapped in an emerald light relic, which is not only a protective barrier, but also a place of testing and trial. Anyone who tries to approach the book must face the illusions and trials released by the light.

Only those with pure hearts, strong wills and the potential to unlock the mysteries of the universe can pass the trial and touch the sealed miracle.

For a long time, the legend of this strange book has been passed on by word of mouth among a few wise men. Although it is trapped in an emerald ball of light and unknown to the public, it still attracts those who crave for immense power.

Director Sapphire is undoubtedly one of them.

"If I can unlock its secret, I won't have to come back. Unfortunately... I must take away at least one element of destruction before He fully revives."

"No matter how much knowledge a mortal can acquire, there is still a limit... No matter what, I will become a god!"

-

Fisher Family Estate.

Kano calmly came to the magnificent hall alone, bowed in front of the holy transparent bottle, and said with a smile:

"I'm sorry, great Lord of the Lost."

"I will go to the Terila Theocracy in the south to face my true fate... Even though you saved me, I still want to go back."

His eyes were firm, not afraid of death at all, and he continued, "Because the soul of the lost man, Best Rhine, is still trapped in the painting of the Sun Saint, I still can't ignore this matter."

"And I once promised him that I would never give up on him no matter what, and I would definitely go back and find him!"

Kano calmly sat down on the chair next to him. He had already written a letter to the Sun Saint to explain his purpose and said that he wanted to take Best's soul away.

Kano had already thought about whether the Sun Saint would kill him the first time he saw him or not.

He hesitated for a moment, then smiled, looked up at the holy object that the Fisher family had worshipped for a hundred years, and said firmly:
"Although he was the enemy of the Fisher family during his lifetime, he became my friend after his death. Since I have made a very solemn promise, I will never betray it!"
