Chapter 258 Last Civilization
"It's a long story, my lords, are we just blowing the wind on the star-seeing platform and talking about the enlightenment of the will of the stars?"
Duke said lightly, facing the gazes of the arcanist instructors.
"Let's go back to the Hall of Stars and talk about it." Andre Evening Primrose nodded indifferently, and hurried down the stairs from before.
The Hall of Stars is the place in the Tower of Stars, where the astrology is monitored. There are complex and sophisticated instruments, such as astronomical telescopes, sextants, star maps and other items. At this time, the staff were cleaning the tea, and Muse waved their hands, and these people left the hall.
The eight Huiyue Arcane Instructors sat back in their original seats one by one.
Muse pointed to a table in the center: "Duke, just sit there and tell the adults carefully what enlightenment the will of the stars has given you."
"good."
Duke is seated safely.
Then he closed his eyes and recalled the entire dream process—he insisted that everything he experienced just now was a dream experience.
"Xiaoyi, have you recorded all the information in the dream?"
"I'm sorry master, when your five senses were distorted by that mysterious force, the spiritual sea was blocked, and Xiaoyi couldn't perceive anything outside." Xiaoyi responded, "But at a certain time point, at about nine fifteen, an object containing strange energy entered the master's spiritual sea."
"Strange object?" Duke immediately looked inside Linghai.
But in the center of the Linghai Sea, on the ninth orbit of the Nine Rings where Xiaoyi is located, there is a star-like object, together with Xiaoyi, revolving around the spiritual core.
This star-like object.
It is exactly the same as the stars that Duke and Nyx stepped on in the dream, they are irregular crystals shining like crystals.
"Hiss!" Duke exclaimed.
He recalled what Goddess Nyx said, saying that Duke was given one of the most precious stars, and that he wanted to share this starry sky with Duke.
also said that Duke can often come.
"If this is true, doesn't it mean that this star is the key for me to enter the starry sky?" Duke thought wrapped the star.
Then it was found that there was a mark inside, which seemed to emit strong information feedback.
It made him feel involuntarily that if he activates the mark in this star, he can be pulled into that starry sky.
only.
Temporarily unable to activate, the reason is very simple, the imprint in this star has no energy, it needs Duke to recharge it.
"Xiao Yi, divide half of the psionic energy obtained from the exclusive meditation method, and inject it into this...mark of the stars until it is full."
"Good master." Xiaoyi agreed.
Immediately, half of the spiritual particles in the spiritual sea changed their direction to the spiritual core and arcane wonders, and merged into the imprint of the stars.
"Master, according to the current injection speed, it will take a week to fill the Stars Imprint with energy."
"One week, it's a bit long... Then suspend the construction of arcane wonders first, and supply this part of the spiritual energy to the star mark."
"Good master."
Duke really wanted to know if he could enter that starry sky casually, and then meet Goddess Nyx.
His mind sat cross-legged on the spiritual core, carefully reviewing everything that happened in the dream, and thinking about what Goddess Nyx wanted him to do.
"Take him far away... Is this a request, or some kind of enlightenment?" He couldn't answer for the time being, "Did the ancestors activate the will of the stars, did they see the goddess Nyx like me... It seems not. Listening to the words of the goddess Nyx, I am the most special one, so that I can awaken his existence?"
He was in the spiritual sea, thinking quietly.
Outside.
Andre and others were waiting for him quietly. One minute, two minutes... Five minutes passed, and Duke still closed his eyes and thought.
"The Speaker..." A Huiyue Arcane teacher frowned.
Andre Evening Primrose waved his hand lightly, and responded in a low voice: "He's thinking, it's about human beings, we just have to wait patiently."
So.
In the Hall of Stars, it fell into a deadly silence again.
After a long time, maybe ten minutes, maybe half an hour, Duke finally opened his eyes from his thoughts, and said softly: "I kept you adults waiting for a long time."
"It's okay." Andre said gently.
Duke nodded, and then he spoke the lines that he had considered for a long time: "I don't know if I have seen the will of the stars. In my dream, I saw a goddess named Nyx. He claimed that the stars are him, but he is not the stars."
"Nyx?" Several Huiyue arcane instructors looked at each other, as if they had never heard of this name.
"Yes, Goddess Nyx told me that he has canonized me as his walker, allowing me to use my talents to the fullest and change this corrupt world."
"A decaying world?" The Speaker of the House, Zambros, frowned into a "Sichuan" word, "This world has been developed by our arcane masters for countless generations, and the spiritual arcana has grown in an orderly manner. Everything in the world exudes vigorous vitality. How can it be described as decay!"
Duke Bear spread his hands: "Goddess Nyx, that's what she said."
Andre Evening Primrose sighed slowly: "Corrupt...Goddess Nyx is talking about me, and you...Indeed, we have been stealing high positions for too long..."
"The Seven Towers Federation is in our hands, and it has been on the right path. How can we talk about stealing a high position." Thursas shook his head, "Master Lord, you can't belittle yourself because you failed to attack the 9th Ring, and feel that you are on the wrong path!"
Another Huiyue Arcane teacher nodded and said: "Yes, I agree with Thursas' point of view, Lord Chancellor, we are on the right path."
Andre raised his hand, stopped everyone from discussing, and just said to Duke: "Go on, Duke Walker."
"Um, this traveler was sealed in a dream, I don't know if it counts. And I even doubt whether Goddess Nyx is the will of the stars... Strictly speaking, my feeling in the dream is slightly similar to when I was affected by the evil molt."
"The impact of the evil's molting?"
When I was in Cuihai City in my early years, I once encountered the shell cast off by the Abomination, and my five senses were distorted. That feeling was somewhat similar to my dream, so I have reason to doubt that Goddess Nyx is some kind of ancient creature, such as the Abomination? "
Bold assumptions, careful verification.
An illusory dream, Duke analyzed it in the spiritual sea for a long time, but couldn't analyze why, so he simply revealed his doubts.
Let the arcane instructors who call themselves "stars" carefully verify his judgment.
"This...ancient creature... how is that possible!" The next speaker, Zambros, shook his head and vetoed it directly, "The will of the stars has enlightened us for more than 3,500 years. How can it be compared with the gods who only know about devouring and destroying? What absurdity, absurdity!"
"That's right, Goddess Nyx is by no means an evil. I have been archaeological in the remains of the scars of the earth, and I have seen the remaining thoughts of the evil. There are only endless madness and desires in it, and there is no reason at all, and it is impossible to incarnate the will of the stars."
"Duke boy, you think too much!" Huiyue's arcane instructors unanimously rejected Duke's judgment.
Duke once again spread his hands: "Those adults, what do you think of the goddess Nyx, saying that this world is rotten?"
paused.
Duke added: "And I clearly remember that Goddess Nyx told me...the past has withered, and the future has no hope. So He can't give me any enlightenment, only let me play freely, without any restrictions on me."
"This..." Huiyue's arcane instructors looked at each other again.
I fell into deep thought for a while. Obviously, the enlightenment brought by the will of the stars this time is a bit beyond everyone's understanding.
After a while.
Lambert Raven coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention: "Everyone, we need to confirm one thing first."
"you say."
"Goddess Nyx, what is her identity!" Lambert concluded solemnly, "Duke said that he was in a dream and heard Nyx Goddess say that the stars are him, and he is not the stars... If the will of the stars is the spiritual metaphysics, everything is the spiritual metaphysics."
He looked at everyone with burning eyes: "Then, where is the goddess Nyx?"
Physically, it is called Tao; under form, it is called utensils.
Spiritual metaphysics is the origin, the principle of existence beyond reality, or it can also be said to be the essence of the world's operation.
The physicality of spirituality is the result, the product of the rules of the world's operation, and everything is nourished by spirituality.
"The stars are him, he is not the stars..." Andre stroked his beard and thought.
Everyone was thinking, even Duke couldn't help thinking, he knew everything in the dream better than the teachers of Huiyue Arcana.
Includes all of his conversations with Goddess Nyx.
Gradually, a bold idea formed in his mind: "Goddess Nyx has a line, if I remember correctly... the stars are hovering on the dead body, and you are the only one who can wake me up... the dead body..."
He was startled.
Can't stop thinking: "Isn't it possible that Goddess Nyx is the incarnation of this world? So this world is dead? That's why Goddess Nyx said that the past has withered and there is no hope for the future... That's why she pinned her hopes on me, a foreigner, and hoped that I would take him far away?"
He still remembers asking Goddess Nyx why she gave enlightenment to the ancestors of arcanists but not him.
Goddess Nyx replied: "They are me, you are not me."
"So..." Duke thinks more and more that this possibility is real, "The natives are a part of this world, even my body, but my soul is not. So I am the only foreigner and His only hope!"
But when I think about it carefully, I feel something is wrong.
Since this world is dead, why is there a colorful civilization, where everything is thriving and full of vitality.
Considering.
Duke thought of a compromise speculation: "Perhaps, this planet produced consciousness, but He was trapped on this planet. For Him, no matter how vibrant this planet is, it is just a cage that traps itself."
But he was quickly overthrown by himself: "It's not true, the planet is full of vitality, and everything is possible in the future. Maybe if it continues to develop, it will be difficult for arcanists to travel around with the planet. How can you say there is no hope?"
Even people on earth can think of taking the earth to wander...
Just when Duke was thinking hard.
Muse suddenly said: "My lords, I have presided over the Tower of Stars for more than a hundred years, and I also presided over the opening of the will of the stars last time...Master Timirasu, do you still remember what happened when you were enlightened by the will of the stars?"
Timilasu Fengshen, chairman of the Element Tower Mobilization Committee, full-time arcanist, element sage, and war madman.
The surname of the Fengshen family comes from Timirasu's own research on wind arcane arts.
Hearing Muse mentioning herself, Timirasu said with a solemn face: "I don't remember the specific dream at all, but there are many arcane forbidden arts that often appear in my mind, especially the wind-type forbidden art, including the 'wind **** forbidden art' that I named as my surname."
He was the candidate who opened the will of the stars a hundred years ago. At that time, he was also the youngest arcane instructor in the Seven Towers Federation, just like Miguel now.
However, there was no Duke to disrupt the situation at that time, and Timirasu successfully became the opener.
"Yes, Lord Timirasu, the enlightenment of the will of the stars you brought is those powerful arcane forbidden spells." Muse nodded in agreement.
Lambert Raven asked: "Muse, what is your purpose in talking about this?"
"You should have read the historical data. A thousand years ago, the arcane masters of the Holy Spirit Federation went to the endless sea to dig the remains of the gods and unearthed a cuneiform stele. Even our Seven Towers Federation also had a large number of arcanists who went to observe and established the endless city."
Heard Muse say so.
The next speaker, Zambros, raised his eyebrows immediately: "You mentioned the cuneiform stele, do you want to say that our civilization is not the original civilization of this world, but a civilization of the new era?"
Muse responded: "The cuneiform stele is evidence, perhaps this world once had an intelligent race similar to ours, and also established a civilization. It's just that for some unknown reason, they disappeared, and then we replaced them."
Duke understood.
It turns out that in the wild world, there are also legends about the era of civilization similar to the earth.
There are legends on the earth that human beings are not the earliest civilization, but that there were one or several civilizations before that gave birth to intelligent races.
Wait until these civilizations perish, and then there will be human beings.
"The cuneiform stele is not strong evidence. I prefer it to be a natural carving of spirituality rather than artificial carving of a previous civilization." Zambros shook his head.
Muse insisted: "Goddess Nyx, or the will of the stars, may be the strongest of the last civilized race."
She looked at Andre Evening Primrose: "My lord, the enlightenment brought by the will of the stars is basically the development of spiritual mysteries. When we look back, these revelations are nothing more than some research results on the road of spiritual mysteries."
Andre was silent in thought.
Muse continued: "Revelations such as the Fengshen Forbidden Art are just the results of spiritual mysteries developed to a high level, which will naturally be researched. The will of the stars reveals them to us in advance as revelations. Isn't it a natural copy of spirituality?"
Zambros frowned: "What exactly do you want to express?"
"What I want to express is that the will of the stars is just a mirror image of the past civilization, just like the phantom erupting in ancient times, replaying the achievements of the previous civilization in the form of the will of the stars... That's why the goddess Nyx wakes up and tells Duke that the past has withered and there is no hope for the future!"
Muse's voice became sonorous and powerful: "This is a kind of enlightenment, and it is also a warning to us from the previous civilization, and it can even be said to be pity!"
Her gaze became long: "Goddess Nyx is telling us not to repeat the same mistakes...Maybe, I just said maybe, we are on the wrong path on the path of spiritual mysteries."
Duke finished listening.
I just feel that Muse's deduction is more subtle than the answer I imagined.
"In the two civilizations, the will of the stars is the most powerful person in the previous civilization, similar to the arcane instructors. They are dead but not completely dead, and they are still hovering over the world... Goddess Nyx also said that the stars are hovering on the dead body... and Goddess Nyx, may be the last civilization, who has become a god-like arcane teacher!"
The more he thought about it, the more likely he felt that the possibility was high. The goddess Nyx must be dead but not stiff, and he was looking forward to this civilization that could revive her.
It turned out that this crop of civilization has embarked on the old path of the previous crop of civilization.
So I feel that the future is hopeless.
"It just so happened that He saw me again, and thought that I, a foreigner, can make jade from other mountains and help this generation of civilization to embark on a new path!"
The more Duke thought about it, the more he felt that he was getting closer to the truth: "Sure, I understand! After all, the script I got is the script of the savior!"
Seeing that the instructors of the arcane method are still arguing endlessly, they can't come up with an accurate opinion.
Duke could not help clearing his throat: "Ahem!"
Then.
The instructors of the Austrian method glanced at him, and then turned back to continue arguing, but no one paid any attention to him.
Duke's mood fluctuated slightly, but he quickly resolved his embarrassment and said loudly, "My lords, please listen to me."
Andre Evening Primrose reached out to stop the argument: "Listen to Duke first."
Duke said in a loud voice: "I think that whether Goddess Nyx is a spiritual metaphysics or the supreme **** of the previous civilization, it does not prevent the will of the stars from bringing us enlightenment this time."
He and the Huiyue Arcane instructors looked at each other one by one, walked around, and continued: "You adults have enough time to explore the existence of Goddess Nyx, but now, I think the enlightenment has been given, and we should think about how to use the enlightenment to develop spiritual arcana."
Zambros said: "If this enlightenment itself is wrong, how can we continue to implement it!"
"It depends on whether you, my lords, trust the will of the stars enough. Over the past 3,500 years, whether the will of the stars has been enlightened thirty-five times will overthrow it because of this one." Duke said generously, "If you don't want to overthrow it, then I will say a few more words."
Zambroth fell silent.
The other instructors of Huiyue Arcana also began to think about it.
Andre said gently: "Just say it, Duke, don't care about right or wrong."
"Thank you, Lord Speaker, for your encouragement...Goddess Nyx thinks that whether we have gone the wrong way or not, He has given His enlightenment. That is to let me, His walker Duke, the person who opened the will of the stars, strengthen my beliefs."
Duke shook the collar of his arcane robe: "I don't think our path is wrong. We just need a change... From the era of grand arcane to the era of spirituality... So, I need the full support of all adults."
"Interesting." Thursas stroked his beard and asked with a smile, "I think you have a lot of ambition, and you want to ask us for power."
Andre Evening Primrose also laughed: "Seeing the energetic faces of young people, I feel more and more that we are exuding a strong decadent aura...Young, so good..."
Talking and talking.
Andre stopped suddenly, and then his eyes began to loosen, and he sat motionless on the chair.
"Lord Speaker, is this?" Duke asked in surprise.
"Don't worry about common things, let's continue." Thursas waved his hand.
After Duke talked eloquently about what is the spiritual era of Dongwei, a Huiyue arcane teacher said kindly: "Duke, maybe you have an unparalleled spiritual blessing, but if you want to gain the dominance, you still need time to consolidate your foundation, understand?"
"Understood." Duke glanced at the arcane teachers.
Obviously.
This group of old guys in the center of power don't think that Duke, who has activated the will of the stars, can try to meddle in their power after getting a little specious enlightenment.
He said nothing more.
Zambros expressed his appreciation for Duke's overall view of advance and retreat, and encouraged him with a smile: "Come on, let's continue chatting about the details of your dreams."
…
Sign a non-disclosure agreement.
Duke left the Tower of Stars. Since then, the complete process of the will of the stars can only be spoken to the eight Huiyue Arcane Teachers and Muse.
Being silent about anyone else.
"Sir, you are all done." Mu Lali came up to meet him, surrounded Duke with Mu Lashan, and walked out of the tower.
"We're done, let's go back to the Crystal Palace and have a good sleep!" Duke stretched his arms, "We'll go back to Cuihai City in a few days!"
He already understood that the Holy City of Alchemy has no place for it for the time being.
The meeting of stars will not give him a top spot just because he has activated the will of the stars once, at most he will be offered as a mascot.
Perhaps he invented the Ring of Branding, which attracted the attention of the world, and even the teachers of the arcane arts were amazed.
Call him a spiritual love.
But being too young is a hurdle after all, and being weak is another hurdle. These two hurdles blocked him from the gate of the Stars Conference.
Maybe if he stays here, he can continue to study various new technologies. But that's all. The promotion and development of these new technologies will not be handed over to him. In the Holy City of Arcana, academic research will never bring a position of power.
"Strength... If you are not among the stars, you are not qualified to aspire to power!" On the way back, Duke sat in the shuttle and watched the scenery, keeping silent all the way.
The little assistant also noticed that he was not in high spirits, so he didn't dare to bother him with nonsense.
Arrive quietly at the Crystal Palace of Thursus.
Penrose was still awake, and there were several great arcane mages who seemed to be waiting here early in the morning, wanting to ask Duke about the will of the stars.
Duke waved his hand: "It can't be said, after signing the confidentiality contract, only a few masters of the Huiyue Arcane Teacher can intervene."
"Ah, that's really a pity." Several great arcane mages left disappointedly.
Penrose asked one more question: "You seem a little dull?"
"It's nothing, maybe I'm a little tired from activating the will of the stars, you can do your work, I'll go back and rest first." Duke waved his hand and left.
Take a bath.
Lying on the bed, he summoned the chick to combine, and performed tonight's evening class in an elf state.
However, the exclusive meditation method still takes the form of hanging up. He just looks inside the spiritual sea and thinks in the spiritual sea.
Different from other people's will of the stars, he has not received any enlightenment on spiritual mysteries.
But got a star from the goddess Nyx.
"Xiao Yi, this star is in the ninth orbit just like you. Obviously, it does not exist as a simple key." Duke analyzed, "The imprint of the stars should only be one of its functions, and it has other uses."
"possible."
"So, next, you need to use your spare power to help me analyze this star." Duke ordered, "Since Goddess Nyx gave it to me, it is my exclusive star, so let's call it...Duke Star."
Xiaoyi quickly responded: "Okay master, I have added a new process for you...Process 5: Analyzing Duke Star..."
Several other processes are still in progress.
The exclusive meditation method has never stopped. The Arcane Spectacle-Mind-Eyed Beast is under construction, the Hand of the Arcane 2.0 is being sublimated, and the Sand Eagle 2.1 night vision version is under development.
There is also a special process—recharging the Duke Star.
"When Duke's star is fully charged, I will return to Cuihai City. There is no big stage for me in the Holy City of Alfa." Duke smiled self-deprecatingly.
Perhaps on this planet, the one who understands herself best is the goddess Nyx in the dream just now.
Before he came here, he was still high-spirited. He always felt that if he released the ring of branding move, his status in the Seven Towers Federation would skyrocket.
Now he finds that his position has reached a bottleneck.
No matter how high the academic achievement is, it can't cover up the embarrassing situation that he is only a ring 2 arcanist. After all, power is king in the extraordinary world.
He didn't want to be a mascot in the Holy City of Alfa.
"But there is no need to worry. The phantom film is popular, and the ring of branding will also explode. With such a strong spiritual feedback, my cultivation path has already been on a rocket, and I am waiting to take off." A burst of fighting spirit burst out in Duke's heart.
"The meeting of stars, sooner or later I will be given a top spot... and, it will be the top spot!"
