The terrace began to descend and soon reached the ground.

 It is said to be the ground, but from Alia's previous observation perspective from high altitude, it is actually the top of a spire. At this time, the top of the spire is divided into six parts, allowing sunlight to enter the top of the spire.

 There was a huge square on top of the tower, which was full of people, and most of their eyes were on Alia.

 Arya saw curiosity, fear, and disgust in their eyes.

 Amidst the intertwined gazes, the fish-headed soldier led Alia and Fu El through the crowd and came to the center of the square.

 What comes into view is an inverted triangular altar, with six granite pillars standing around the altar. Silver lightning flows on the pillars, and it seems that the wind chimes between the spires are connected to these six pillars.

 Above the altar, a sea urchin-shaped crystal was quietly suspended.

 Alia's eyes widened slightly when she saw the being in the crystal.

 A pale blue crescent moon hangs in the center of the crystal, and around it, golden stars surround it in a ring structure, forming a seamless whole.

 That feeling...was very familiar to Alia.

 "That's your Saint Lady..." Fu El chuckled in Alia's ear, "Did you see it?"

 Miss Saint...is that the seal on the altar?

 Alia stared blankly at the colorful light that flowed along an umbilical cord into the inverted triangle-shaped altar. Looking at the mysterious glow emitted by the seal, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

 At this moment, the guards parted and a man in a white robe and a golden crown came out.

 "Children of Time, look at the good things you have done!"

 The King of Laslan looked at Fu El and Arya majestically. His eyes seemed to be burning, causing fear to surge uncontrollably in Arya's heart.

 Several Children of Time immediately surrounded Fu El, preventing the king from moving forward, but Fu El extended her hand and said:

 "Don't be afraid, His Majesty needs us."

 "How dare you confess to me that you were the one who sent that alien creature from beneath the sea?" the king roared. "The embryo has become unstable! The will within it is awakening! This is all because of you!"

 "What? You're blaming us? Why not blame your Star Sea Goddess?" Fu El spread her hands. "She asked you to guard this dangerous containment. You developed a brilliant civilization because of it, but now you can't accept the price it's paid because it's out of control?"

 "Kill them and stop talking nonsense." The king waved his hand.

 The fish-headed soldiers immediately surrounded the Children of Time. They took out strange long-handled weapons that Arya had never seen before, with pale blue lightning flashing on them.

 But Kefu El did not reach for her weapon, but looked at the king calmly:

 "Even if you kill us, you will never be able to deal with that moon. It is hidden at the bottom of the sea. The surrounding truth is so powerful that it can shatter anything that enters. But this is just a small problem for us, the Children of Time."

 "And our goal is precisely to transport this moon away from this era. After all, this is just a transit station."

 "I'm sorry that the power of truth has caused you trouble, Your Majesty. I hope you won't be too angry about my offense against the Goddess." Seeing the king turn around, Fu El smiled faintly. "After all, we've all suffered under Her oracle... haven't we?"

 The king thought for a moment and whispered:

 "Can you really handle that moon?"

 "That's the goal we've dedicated our entire race to," Fu El's smile faded. "I believe you understand the feeling of having your race's fate bound to you. The Kingdom of Laslan is already the most powerful in the world, yet you've never had the chance to leave your mark. You've even been forced to hide your brilliance—all because the goddess tasked you with guarding a damned embryo, right?"

 "We are all unfortunate people on the road of destiny, so why should we make things difficult for each other?"

 The king nodded, pushed aside a soldier, walked up to Fu El, and said to her

 Looking at each other at close range.

 "Promise me that you will take the moon with you," the king whispered, "or you will witness why Raslan is so powerful, and you will pay the price for it."

 "Don't worry, we are descendants of the truth and won't lie."

 Fu El blinked and reached out her hand to the king, but received no response.

 "Take them to the diving bell," the king said, waving his hand. "Don't let me see them again."

 At this moment, a burst of pressure suddenly came, instantly pressing everyone in the square to the point where they could not stand up.

 Alia raised her head and saw that the embryo in the center of the altar suddenly surged, and the pale blue light kept flashing.

 Silver lightning immediately shot out from the six granite pillars, wrapped around the embryo and continuously suppressed it.

 "Look at the sky!"

 Everyone in the square looked up and saw that the sky, which had been clear just a moment ago, was suddenly covered by dark clouds. Amidst flashes of lightning, a golden star fell from the sky.

 The embryo is resonating with that star!

 "The whole city is on alert!" The king waved his hand, and the long scepter unfolded. "Stop that star!"

Chapter 493: Moon Under the Sea (Part 2) -4k- (Two Updates in One)

 1454 years.

 With the disappearance of the Broken Crown, the old city fell into silence.

 As night fell, Xingmo was cooking dinner by the campfire in front of the castle.

 Princess Freya went to the forest to hunt a few rabbits. Xingmo used these rabbits to make a pot of soup, and together with the dry food she brought with her, it was barely a dinner.

 "Phew, I need to have some soup to feel comfortable at night!"

 Freya let out a breath and looked up at the night sky with a smile.

 "Life is so beautiful..." Freya murmured.

 "Your Highness, this is not the time to relax," Yuwen said earnestly. "The Children of Time may still have remnants nearby. We must remain vigilant."

 "Oh, Yuwen, don't spoil the fun," Freya put her hands behind her head. "If we ignore the beauty of life because of this little crisis, we will be worried to death before the Crimson Doom arrives."

 ""

 The nature of light elves is freedom, which Xingmo envied very much, but she really couldn't be free at the moment.

 After learning that the next time point was the Kingdom of Laslan in 1020, Xing Mo felt as if a huge stone was placed on her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe.

 The Kingdom of Laslan, the legendary civilization of the sea, is also the civilization that protects the embryo.

 As Raslan sank, the embryo also sank to the bottom of the sea and was not salvaged until more than ten years ago.

 Xing Mo didn't know how she would feel if she went back to that era - at that time, she was a prisoner in the embryo. Although she was unconscious, she was actually imprisoned.

 She had no idea whether her appearance would cause any chain reaction, and maybe something very bad would happen.

 "Miss Perlis," Xingmo turned and looked at Perlis who was sipping rabbit soup beside her. "What would happen if there were two of me in the same timeline at the same time?"

 "You won't notice it," Perlis shook her head, "because you haven't noticed it before."

 Xingmo seemed to understand, but not completely.

 She lowered her head, took a bite of bread, and muttered vaguely:

 "1020... I was still in the embryo at that time. I wonder if anything bad would happen if I went to that timeline..."

 "You are afraid that you will become the source of disaster." Perlis pointed out sharply.

 "That's right," Xingmo nodded slightly. "Yuechen said that it was he who slowly used the power of truth to influence Laslan outside the embryo, which eventually caused the entire city to sink to the bottom of the sea..."

 "There aren't many historical records of Raslan, including the year it sank, so there's no way to find out..."

 "But I have a feeling...if I were to go back to 1020 now, it would probably trigger a long chain reaction."

 After Xingmo finished speaking, Perlis nodded slightly and then said:

 "Does it make you uncomfortable? To be a factor in the destruction?"

 "A little bit." Xing Mo nodded.

 "What if you are the source of the disaster?" Perlis's eyes fell on the blazing bonfire.

 Perlis's question stunned Xingmo, who closed her eyes and immersed herself in the gentle evening breeze.

 Not long after, she opened her eyes and whispered:

 "I have to go. If I don't stop the Time Misfortune, the entire timeline will be destroyed. Even if Laslan will enter the process of destruction because of my appearance, I can't just stand by and watch."

 "Very decisive," Perlis nodded gently, "Close your heart and don't let unnecessary distractions disturb you."

 After saying that, Perlis stood up, patted her skirt, and walked towards the castle.

 "What are you secretly talking about with your sister again?" Xing Mo felt something pushing into her arms. She looked down and found it was Aurora.

 "Why don't you come and listen yourself?" Xing Mo smiled and rubbed the little guy's head.

 "I don't want to hear it," Aurora turned her head away. "My sister is very mean."

 "What's wrong? Tell me?"

 "There's no point in telling you. My sister is mean anyway."

 Dinner time passed in a brief period of peace. After Freya and Yuwen finished their meal, they went to the castle, leaving Aurora and Xingmo by the campfire.

 The two of them spent some time together and both stood

 Get up and walk towards the castle.

 Right in front of the castle, Freya had already set up a ritual formation with a thin silver thread hanging above it.

 "Are you ready?" Xingmo walked to the thin line.

 "Anytime is fine. This rift, following the coordinates on Fu El's body, will take us directly to Laslan in 1020." Freya nodded.

 "There's a small problem. We'll still be separated by then," Aurora spread her hands. "Is there any way to bring us together?"

 "Have."

 Xing Mo had thought of this a long time ago and had a countermeasure.

 She raised her wrist, and the thin transparent umbilical cord floated in the air, emitting a faint colorful light.

 "You will enter my kingdom, and then I will go through the tunnel alone. Once we reach our destination, I will release you."

 "That's feasible." Perlis nodded.

 "It's going to be crowded," Aurora stretched. "Okay, but what if you run into danger outside?"

 "Don't worry, I'll make the judgment." Xing Mo said.

 "Then get ready," Perlis motioned for everyone to move aside, then nodded to Freya, "Your Highness."

 "I'm coming."

 Freya opened the Book of Hell. As crimson light emanated, she chanted softly:

 “I see, but not now; I behold, but not near.”

 The deep red light instantly converged, turning into a concentrated golden light, and suddenly pierced into the thin line.

 The next second, a golden dagger tore through the thin thread, flew out, and was caught by Freya.

 "Miss Perlis!"

 At Freya's call, Perlis stepped forward, stabbed her hands into the rift of time, and the outline of the White Flame Seat flashed in her eyes.

 She yanked her hands together, and with a snap, the rift in time was torn open by her.

 "Now, Xiaomo." Perlis turned around.

 Xingmo immediately raised his hand, and the umbilical cord burst out with a huge siphon, sucking everyone into Xingmo's kingdom.

 Then, before the fragile crack closed, Xingmo dived in—

 "call----"

 The broken glass flashed rapidly before her eyes, and she began to fall again. Countless mottled lights and shadows flashed before her eyes, which were countless chaotic eras.

 In a trance, Xing Mo gradually lost her sense of vision. She felt that she was falling close to a magnificent silver-white giant tree. The countless branches on the giant tree evolved, disappeared in the void, and then merged into the trunk of the giant tree.

 Xing Mo felt all of this in an instant, and what her brain could recount were not pictures, but pure concepts and numbers.

 This feeling of her mind being filled up brought Xing Mo closer to mental collapse. Just as she was about to give up, the space and time before her eyes exploded like a lens -

 "Pfft!"

 The wind was blowing fiercely, and the outline of the city was barely visible among the dark clouds.

 It was a city on the sea, with silver-white lightning running between the spires, occasionally radiating towards the sky.

 Xingmo had seen that city, it was Laslan City!

 And now, they seem to be attacking Xingmo!
