A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 376 Xuanjun’s “Home”

Looking at the revealed stone slab and sensing the chaotic aura it carried, the master of mysticism took a few steps back vigilantly.

According to the experience summarized by all the extraordinary creatures in the City of Dawn, they need to be vigilant in this situation no matter what, even if this is an opportunity for him to take a further step on the path of mysticism.

After waiting for a long time, when the shaking of the entire mountain range stopped and the active spiritual power around it also ceased, he descended from the sky and looked at the stone slab.

"It's worthy of being called the Blasphemous Slate. Even the path of the 'wizard' passed down from the Stargazing Tower is engraved on it. And from the integration of the first Beyonder characteristic to the achievement of a god, there are detailed explanations and promotion steps. With my current knowledge, I have not found any fallacies or parts that can be optimized."

After the "natural disaster" that caused turmoil in the entire world a hundred years ago, the Stargazing Tower began to pass down more advanced mystical knowledge. At the same time, the power of the hidden sage, or the mysterious lord, began to appear repeatedly in the City of Dawn, causing miracles one after another.

At this time, the human beings, giants, elves, vampires and other races in the City of Dawn called it the "wizard" path. This extraordinary path that allows humans to avoid most madness and loss of control is one of the miracles brought down by Him personally.

As a human resident of the City of Dawn, he naturally embarked on the path of a "wizard". Because of his outstanding inspirational talent, he even met a hidden sage in the city and received his gift, gaining the status and power of a god.

With the blessing of such status and power, and after years of study and exploration, his attainments in mysticism are enough to make him a master in this field.

However, with this master-level knowledge, he was still amazed when he saw the explanation of the "wizard" path emerging on this stone slab, and felt as if he was still an apprentice who should continue to learn in the field of mysticism.

When his gaze shifted from the path that attracted him the most and focused on the rest of the information recorded on the stone slab, an indescribable inspiration suddenly burst out from his own consciousness, and all the mystical knowledge he had learned in the past seemed to have been stripped of the cloak that deceived the world.

He seemed to see the truth of the world.

"So this is how the world works. No, I should say the 'wizard' path. There are actually 22 extraordinary paths that can greatly avoid madness and loss of control."

At this moment, the extraordinary characteristics of the Sequence 2 "Sage" of the "Mysterious Peeper" in his body began to be rapidly digested, until a slight crisp sound echoed in his spiritual body, and the power of his spirituality and spiritual body instantly increased by more than three times.

At the same time, the extraordinary language he had been preparing to create for mankind was also deduced and completed in his mind at an extremely fast speed, and was simplified and improved to a certain extent.

"This extraordinary language is called 'Ancient Hermetic Language'. After a round of simplification, it is called 'Hermetic Language'."

After naming this newly born extraordinary language after himself, Hermes looked at the rest of the content on the stone slab that was difficult for him to analyze with the [Eye of Mysteries] with a hint of obsession and a longing expression.

"This is the blasphemous slate that Xuanjun mentioned. It is the opportunity I predicted from fate not long ago to perfect my extraordinary language."

"It's just a pity."

Hermes restrained his expression and gathered all his desires within his body. He then used his fingers to direct a spell close to the first level of sequence toward his brain and mental body, causing all his thoughts to function like machines without any emotion.

——【Spell: Mechanized Mind】

His mind suddenly became clear, and all his previous expectations and desires for the mysticism disappeared. He concentrated all his spirituality into his hands, and tore through the air, creating a silver-colored portal. Through this portal, he could vaguely see a blue-white tower standing on a cliff.

——【Spell: Fixed-point portal】

Hermes stepped through the silvery portal and quickly flashed to the bottom of the Observatory Tower. He then lifted the two spells he had cast. Without caring about slowly recovering his almost exhausted spiritual energy, he quickly chanted in a low voice:

"The Immortal Lord who has penetrated the past years."

"The Old Days of Star Forging"

"Chaos of disorder"

"The mysterious Lord"

"I pray for your attention"

"I pray for your favor"

"I pray that you dispel any abnormality in my body."

After Hermes finished chanting, a dreamy bubble appeared before his eyes at some point, emitting a dreamy light that completely illuminated his body and spirit.

The next moment, a terrifying light and shadow carrying a chaotic aura was driven out of his body, turning into bubbles and disappearing without a trace. Then, a gray mist with a little dark red starlight slowly dissipated from the spirit body and was evaporated by the dreamy light emitted by the bubble.

Feeling that his body was much "cleaner" and the terrifying mental imprint of the extraordinary characteristics in his body had temporarily dissipated, Hermes' forehead broke out in a trace of cold sweat. With a fearful mentality, he slowly took out a handkerchief and wiped the tiny beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Sure enough, all the gifts given by fate have already been secretly marked with a price."

"How could something that could provide help to a god and provide an opportunity for the deduction and perfection of a supernatural language be so simple?"

"Fortunately, I am now considered Xuan Jun's subordinate god, and I can ask him for help when I encounter problems. Otherwise, after I deduce this language, I might fall into the calculations of those unspeakable beings. At that time, it might be difficult for me to die."

Hermes looked at the dream bubble in front of him that seemed to be about to disappear, bowed respectfully, and praised Him sincerely.

"Boom."

A crisp cracking sound was heard before his eyes, and then a piece of knowledge belonging to "past history" poured out from an unknown place and merged into his mind, allowing his almost dried-up spirituality to recover to its peak at a rapid speed.

A "memory" that was almost like a statement began to play in Hermes' mind. This was a completely lost history, and it was also the beginning of all the extraordinary things on this planet. "Praise Xuanjun."

After a brief moment of daze, Hermes once again praised the existence he believed in with a little joy. Although he knew that Xuan Jun did not need faith, he still couldn't help expressing his gratitude to Him.

Then he looked in the direction of the northern continent and sighed with a hint of worry.

The blasphemous slate was worthy of the word "blasphemy". Its contents told about the twenty-two paths leading to the gods. He couldn't imagine what terrible consequences would come to the world if other ambitious supernatural beings, who were only concerned about causing chaos, knew its contents.

After all, even after he knew about it, he had some ideas about Xuanjun's "position".

Although Xuanjun had never concealed the possibility of leading to the divine level when he announced the "wizard" path from the beginning, what was revealed by the blasphemous stone tablet was so shocking that it aroused everyone's greed.

"The True God is Sequence Zero. After accommodating the corresponding source substance, and then accommodating the uniqueness of the remaining paths of the corresponding source substance, as well as a copy of the Sequence One Beyonder Characteristics of the corresponding path, it can be promoted to the Old Day."

"The way to be promoted to a higher level than the gods is now before our eyes. Once the news spreads, all extraordinary creatures who aspire to be promoted will be tempted by this blasphemous stone tablet. It is really terrifying."

"I just don't know how Xuanjun, who has predicted the emergence of the blasphemous stone tablet, will deal with this thing that brings trouble and unrest."

Hermes thought about complicated thoughts in his mind, then smiled and shook his head, suppressing all the things that were not his concern at the moment, and turned to look at the increasingly huge human city under the astronomical tower, and a quiet lady walking out of it.

His expression instantly became serious, because the lady who came here was of higher status than him, and she also exuded a faint "inhuman" aura.

This is not a human being, nor is it even a giant, elf, vampire or other humanoid supernatural race.

There is an aura of tranquility all over his body, but there seems to be an "animal nature" in his body that all humanoid supernatural races are repulsed by, and there is also a madness hidden deep in his soul.

This is a demon wolf. According to the information about the demon wolf currently obtained, and its image as a lady
She is the servant god under the Dread Wolf, the goddess of doom, Amanisis.

As a master of mysticism, Hermes instantly came to this conclusion which shocked him a little. He knew that he was under the astronomical tower and might be under the watchful eyes of Xuanjun all the time, so his expression couldn't help but tense up.

He looked at the lady who was slowly approaching with a peaceful aura, and said with a wary look, "Goddess, the Demon Wolf Clan is hostile to all races. Logically speaking, you shouldn't come here."

The spirituality that had just been restored began to slowly flow into his hands, and a rune representing the symbol of the "sun" formed in the palm of his hand. A faint light ball full of terrifying "purification" and "holy" power was rapidly forming. As long as he raised his arm, the terrifying "purification" power would sweep in all directions.

Amanisis looked at the subordinate god who was on guard against him and almost ready to attack him, and just looked at him with a hint of indifference.

In an instant, all the active spirits nearby were forced to quiet down, and with a casual glance, the ball of light filled with the power of "purification" in his hand disappeared into reality like a pencil doodle on a piece of paper being erased by an eraser.

All the spiritual forces around that could be leveraged by Hermes were "entered into dreams", and the "sun" symbol in his hand was covered by "secrets", completely immersed in the spiritual world, and could no longer be perceived.

Looking at the goddess of doom, drops of cold sweat once again appeared on the forehead of the master of mysticism.

Just when Hermes was about to be overwhelmed by the invisible pressure and was about to recite the honorific name for help, Amanesis said to him, "I have no ill intentions, I just want to ask the Stargazing Tower or Xuanjun a few questions."

The master of mysticism relaxed his nervous mood a little, and his heart slowly settled down. Regardless of whether the goddess of doom from the wolf clan really had no ill intentions, as long as she didn't immediately tear her face off, he would have room to maneuver.

And even if Xuanjun really didn't set his eyes on him, the observatory tower behind him must have noticed this terrifying goddess.

Hermes was a subordinate god who had just digested the extraordinary characteristics of the Sequence 2 "Sage" of the "Mysterious Peeper" pathway. No matter in which aspect, he was no match for the goddess, but the Stargazing Tower was different.

According to the legend, this tower was built by Xuanjun himself, incorporating tens of thousands of extraordinary characteristics and accommodating multiple Sequence 2 extraordinary characteristics. In terms of status, it can definitely stand shoulder to shoulder with Sequence 1 subordinate gods.

Moreover, it was a building built with "interstellar" knowledge. By fully unleashing its own power, it would certainly pose a great threat to the life of any extraordinary creature that had not yet entered Sequence Zero.

But this requires him to wait for a while.

Hermes looked at the quiet lady in front of him, calmed himself, and spoke again, "Goddess, it has been a long time since Xuanjun has passed down his oracle. Unless you are guided by fate, it is unlikely that you will meet Xuanjun."

“As for the Stargazing Tower, if Xuanjun was not there, his consciousness would most of the time go deep into the spirit world, chatting with the Seven Lights of the spirit world, or wandering in the star world, with an uncertain return date.”

"Can you tell me what you want to ask? I can answer most of the questions that the Stargazing Tower can answer for you."

Amanisis looked at Hermes quietly for a while, as if observing something. After a quarter of an hour, he slowly nodded.

The next moment, He raised His arm, and a dark light completely covered the entire area including the Observatory Tower. The power of "secret" was activated, and while it looked normal to the outside world, all the information about this sea cliff was covered, and the spiritual world's record of this place was blocked.

Amanisis looked at Hermes and said, with an imperceptible expectation in his expression, "I want to know where is the 'home' of the Xuanjun you believe in?"

Hermes was stunned again. He didn't expect that the goddess would ask such a question. In his stereotype, as a demon wolf goddess of doom, she should ask for information about other giants who are allied with humans, or at least the elves or the vampires.

Without waiting for a reply, Amanesis looked at Hermes with increasingly sharp eyes, and the air became increasingly "quiet", as if the next moment, this master of mysticism would turn into a bunch of extraordinary characteristics.

The terrifying atmosphere of "Silence" filled the air, and Hermes instantly came back to his senses. He replied to the goddess of doom, "I do know where Xuanjun's 'home' is. But His former 'home' has been destroyed. This sea cliff where the Observatory Tower is built is His current 'home'."
