Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

Chapter 186: Qualifications, Charles feels lost

"No, no, no! I think it's a very good adventure experience." Charles said, clapping his hands.

"That place called Parasti is really worth remembering."

Ciel's tone was a little emotional.

How to say it, he is playing himself at this moment.

That is, pretending to be "Charles Rocks", he wanted to tell Reiner and Peroz that he was the high priest from the Age of Five Gods.

But at the same time, he would reveal some flaws, letting them realize that he was not actually the high priest, but just a lucky person who inherited the high priest's extraordinary characteristics.

Use truth to disguise falsehood and falsehood to cover up truth.

A mixture of truth and falsehood, combined with some of Charles's arrangements in the past, his identity as an alias is probably secure.

As for why he did this, on the one hand it gave him a slight sense of security, and on the other hand it was because it was fun.

After all, people of this era seem to like to be a thousand-layer pancake, with one identity after another. Wouldn't it be a bit out of touch with the trend if he doesn't give himself some identities?

"Have you been there?" Peroz asked curiously.

"That was a long time ago, when the people there were still elves."

When they were all elves?

Peroz was a little surprised. According to the history that Sen recounted during the conversation, during the Godless Era, Palasti was no longer dominated by the elves.

For a moment she wasn't sure whether Charles' words were true or not.

After all, that era was too ancient, so ancient that even few ruins existed, let alone people.

"Although you didn't bring me any useful information on this expedition, at least I gained some good memories." Charles murmured, then slowly stretched out his hand.

The key to the Void Palace appeared in his hand, and his eyes fell on Peroz.

To be honest, Peroz didn't want to accept this gift.

A strange lighter seemed to have exposed everything about itself to the person in front of him, and another strange object that looked like a coin must be more than that.

In fact, Peroz was thinking too much. If Charles wanted to monitor her, he didn't need to put anything on her.

However, as the high priest of the Church of the Earth, he should not have this ability, so he put a lighter there to pretend that this ability came from the Horcrux.

"I..." Perozzi was about to refuse, but Charles interrupted her.

"Think carefully before you speak. I will only give you this key once."

"The key to the Void Palace is more than just a key."

The key to the Xu Palace is more like a qualification than a key.

During the Age of Five Gods, everyone above the demigods, whether in the church or other sects, longed to obtain a key.

After all, this represents a qualification, a qualification to participate in deciding the world's major events.

The other keys in the Zhongxu Palace may not have any meaning now, but the one that Charles gave away is different.

One day in the future, if the gods return, many things will inevitably slowly return to the way they were in the past.

At that time, the key in Peroz's hand represented a completely different meaning.

This was a gift made by Charles with Mernade's consent, representing the recognition of the Church of the Earth.

"Xu Dian...!?" This name was a little unfamiliar to Peroz.

As time passed, the records about Xu Palace gradually disappeared in the classics.

Even as a professional archaeologist, Peroz found it difficult to retrieve these two keywords from his memory at the first time.

But Charles' tone and his actions seemed to indicate one thing.

Peroz didn't know whether he should believe the other party.

She couldn't help but turn her head slightly to look at the mirror of herself, but she quickly restrained herself.

Just refuse!

Thinking of the troubles and temptations brought by the self-mirror, Peroz was ready to speak.

"I..." When she was about to refuse, a line of text suddenly appeared in front of her like lightning.

[The sole Creator fell asleep, leaving the Void Palace in... My Lord... obtained the qualification to enter the Void Palace, becoming the first... besides the Five Gods...]

After returning from the Island of Yevers, Peroz looked up a lot of information about Noah because of Phinks.

However, due to its mysterious style and long history, she only received some brief information of little value.

Among them, Xudian was mentioned.

This made her change her mind.

She didn't know what the Void Palace represented, but she knew that if Noah had ever entered there, there might be traces of Noah left there.

Although the mysterious man in front of her once told her that Noah was not a bad person, she still had great doubts about the Island of Yevers that turned into an ark and the Phinks on it, and hoped to find it again one day.

seeing is believing.

Although the mysterious man in front of her had saved her and helped her, Peroz did not trust him very much.

After all, the other party is too mysterious.

"I accept it! Thank you for your generosity." Peroz reached out and grabbed the key in his hand, then expressed his gratitude.

"In countless times in the future, you will feel fortunate for your choice today." Charles said seriously.

This thing...If it weren't for the purpose of testing whether there was any hidden power in the Void Palace, Charles would not have released it.

After all, before he traveled through time, he had barely obtained this qualification and became one of the gods in the Void Palace.

Not anymore!

Don't think about that anymore.

Charles felt a slight pain in his head.

Thinking that he had arrived a little early in order to demonstrate his humility as a junior, which directly led to his traveling to the present time, Charles wanted to punch himself hard.

I had just come in with Teacher Alfo. Now that I've traveled through time and have a companion, why should I be so different?

Although he knew that if he traveled through time under the guidance of someone, he would not be able to escape such a fate no matter how careful he was, but... it would be good to travel later or have someone accompany him.

"Okay, now follow your heart and open that door." Suppressing some of the resentment in his heart, Charles said to Peroz.

She nodded, and then the submissive key conveyed the message, and soon a door appeared in front of her.

Under Charles's encouraging gaze, Peroz walked in.

The door disappeared.

Charles did not take out his key to open the door to the Void Palace. Instead, he set his eyes on the Mirror of Self beside him.

His expression was somewhat complicated.

"Nibo...long time no see..."

Charles had already accepted the feeling of losing his friends, family, and everything again.

But when I saw the relics of my old friend, I couldn't help but sigh.

He stretched out his hand and slowly placed it on the mirror of self.

"You guessed right, I'm still alive."

"It's a pity...you're no longer here."

Chapter 187 Chapter 67 Death is Prohibited

During his time in Charles, more than a year ago, he had a drink with Nibel Ross and received a gift from him.

But after just over a year, the two were separated and could no longer meet.

In other words, they had almost no chance of seeing each other again.

After all, one person is active in the present, while the other has fallen in the past.

A familiar aura emanated from the Mirror of Self.

He also put in some effort in casting this mirror.

Charles gently stroked the mirror of himself, then turned around and opened the door of the virtual palace.

He did not see that after he left, under the illumination of the holy light, the mirror of self was blooming with rays of light.

Just like what "Nibel Ross" had said to Peroz before.

He is dead.

But hopefully not.

"I promised you that I would help you see the path in your heart and find hope."

The secret room was extremely quiet, but it seemed to echo with a promise made countless years ago.

The power of Holy Light seemed to sense something and slowly projected its own power onto the Mirror of Self.

Some power slowly began to accumulate in the mirror of self.

In the empty palace.

Peroz was standing there observing something.

It was like a roof filled with stars at night, with a simple platform and podium.

In Peroz's eyes, the virtual hall, which looked like a conference room, was vaguely divided into five large areas and several small areas.

At the same time, there are some small areas scattered between these areas.

She deduced this by observing the divine patterns around the seats that represented the power of the church.

She wasn't sure if her guess was correct, but she kept engraving everything she saw in her mind and kept digging out memories that could be related to this place.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Charles appeared beside her.

Peroz's body stiffened at first, then he nodded.

"The starry sky above is very beautiful, it looks like the real night sky."

"That's the real night sky." Charles said in a flat tone.

"During the Five Gods Era, there were no stars in the sky except the sun and the moon."

"Because the One and Only Creator liked them, he moved all the stars in the night sky to the Void Palace to use as decoration."

Charles' words left Peroz dumbfounded.

Use stars as decoration.

She had only seen such things in adventure novels, but no one had ever done anything like this in recorded history.

"Speaking of which, I once read in a miscellany that the disappearance of the Five Gods was related to the reappearance of stars in the sky. The author of the miscellany believed that each star in the sky represented a disaster."

"The disappearance of the righteous gods, true gods, and subordinate gods might be related to the stars. I used to think it was false, but if it's true, as you say, that there were no stars in the sky during the Five Gods Era, then this theory might be true."

"After all, that book of miscellanies also mentioned that there were no stars in the sky during the Age of the Five Gods." Peroz said tentatively.

Not much history related to the stars remains in this world.

Peroz couldn't say exactly when the stars would reappear.

During this period, countless similar books were published, most of which were conjectures.

There has never been a book or any record that can really explain whether they have always been there, or whether, as she had read in the gossip, the stars suddenly appeared after the five gods disappeared.

Is the disappearance of the Five Gods related to the stars?

maybe.

Charles didn't know whether this guess was true or not.

At least the stars in the starry sky he had visited were just collections of basic matter.
