A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 377 Xuanjun's Oracle

Amanisis's expression changed instantly, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

This sea cliff has become the "home" of "Xuan Jun". This is information that almost every subordinate god who is concerned about the current situation knows, but the former "home" has been destroyed. What does this mean?
With a slight tremor that he himself did not even notice, he asked in a low voice, "The 'Xuan Jun' you believe in was born on this planet, right?"

Hermes nodded and gave the goddess of doom an affirmative answer, "The being I believe in was indeed born on this planet."

"It is precisely because of the existence of that barrier and the presence of the old gods from outer space that almost all things from outer space cannot enter the barrier. I think that with the status of the goddess now, she should understand this."

Generally speaking, a subordinate god with the status of a Sequence 2 angel can already leave this planet. Some special paths and extraordinary creatures with special means can even escape gravity at Sequence 3 and go to other planets.

However, over the years, no one from God has ever thought of leaving the planet under their feet. There has not even been any action to cross the atmosphere and go to the moon.

You know, curiosity is a common characteristic of all intelligent creatures. The desire to explore the unknown runs through all life veins. Except for some manufactured "biological weapons", in the normal natural world, there will be no creatures without curiosity.

Such abnormal behavior must have something that can make the gods obey, and it is the reason why the gods are afraid of it.

As a subordinate of an ancient god, the Goddess of Doom naturally knew what Hermes wanted to express. She had also seen the barrier covering the entire planet and noticed traces of ancient existence outside the sky.

However, Amanisis was extremely eager that "Xuanjun" was not a native extraordinary creature of this planet. He hoped that he was an "outsider" from another galaxy, from the depths of the universe.

The "truth" revealed a corner in the direction that He was least willing to accept.

Although Amanisis's face did not show any major changes, the light in his eyes had disappeared and his emotions were gradually collapsing.

However, not long after, the goddess of doom used her dream control ability to forcibly control her inner emotions and continued to ask, "Xuan Jun, are you a human who survived the legendary catastrophe?"

Hermes nodded. "That legendary catastrophe has a specific name, 'The Disaster That Destroyed Earth Civilization', 'The First Brief Day of Recovery', that's what Xuanjun called this period of history."

"Xuan Jun is indeed a member of the destroyed Earth civilization. He is also an ancient person who has managed to survive from that era to the present era."

"The Giant King, the Elf King, and the Blood Clan Ancestor called these humans who survived from the ancient civilization 'Remnants of the Old Ones'."

"And Xuan Jun is the only survivor of the old days still alive in the East Continent."

Amanesis' pupils shrank slightly, and his inner emotions instantly surged. The ocean of his subconscious mind kept rolling, almost beyond the control of his extraordinary abilities, and he was almost on the verge of losing control.

"Earth", what an ancient name, it seemed that He had not heard this term for hundreds of years.

It was clearly just a blink of an eye, and He seemed to have traveled through time and space and came to this crazy world, becoming a demon wolf with the status of a god, and the goddess of doom under the command of the demon wolf of destruction.

Although he had the status of a god from the moment he opened his eyes, had the ability to live forever which he had only imagined before, and possessed powerful strength, all of this seemed to be just a curse that caused him endless pain.

Not only does he need to face the madness that is constantly resurrecting in his body, but he also needs to hide all his abnormalities under so many gazes, so as not to attract too much attention and be discovered as a "traveler". He must always pay attention to Fraegra, so as not to be swallowed alive by him.

Hide yourself from the many offspring of the Destruction Wolf who want to devour you, don't let them catch you, draw the attention of dangerous eyes, and survive in this crazy world.

This dodging and hiding that is enough to cause one to collapse seems to be His daily routine.

Although he was a subordinate god with the most powerful force under all the gods and had never left the territory of the Demon Wolf Clan, Amanisis encountered many dangers that could easily end his life.

The good memories before "travelling" and the goal of returning "home" are all the motivation for him to live. But now...
"The planet I'm on is Earth, which was my 'home' before I traveled through time. However, everything in the past has been destroyed, and I can't go back."

Hermes' words such as "the destruction of earth civilization" and "survivors of the old days" were enough to shatter most of Amanisis' motivation to persevere.

When Amanisis realized the "truth", he felt a sadness that had not appeared in nearly a hundred years. The feeling of despair of shattered hopes suddenly surged from his mind.

Affected by Amanisis' mental instability, this "hidden" space is no longer stable, the surrounding "quiet" air becomes heavier, and "bad luck" suddenly pours out from the goddess' body, filling the entire space.

This horrifying scene made Hermes' expression change drastically in an instant. He didn't even bother to think about why the goddess of doom under Fragra's command immediately had mental problems after hearing about the past history, causing huge fluctuations and even running out of control.

But no matter what, he had to deal with this matter immediately.

Once the goddess of doom really lost control and turned into a crazy monster, if the consciousness of the Observatory Tower did not return in time, then he, the master of mysticism, would definitely not be able to withstand it and would most likely die here.

Moreover, the subordinate gods under the Destruction Wolf fell under the Observatory Tower. Needless to say, a new war between gods will begin immediately. The City of Dawn, which was originally a barely neutral force in the East Continent and had a say in both humanoids and non-humanoids, was baptized by the terrifying "natural disaster" the next moment, with countless casualties.

Without hesitation, he gathered the rune symbolizing "machinery" in his hand. He mobilized all his spiritual power and poured it into his palm, constructing a consciousness spell close to Sequence One and casting it on the goddess of doom.

——【Spell: Mechanized Mind】The machine-like thinking immediately invaded Amanesis' consciousness, and combined with His existing dream control ability, it firmly locked the gradually boiling ocean of subconsciousness, blocking the spreading despair and sadness one by one, allowing the ruthless mechanical thoughts to occupy His mind.

Amanesis's divinity sensed the help from the outside force and immediately responded, allowing the power that mechanized his thoughts to continue to penetrate his body. At the same time, the divinity that was originally suppressed by humanity began to gradually rise.

When humanity and divinity began to re-establish a dynamic balance that could maintain his own mental state, Amanesis began to gradually gather the extraordinary power that he had partially lost control of, and turned himself back from the state of being almost out of control.

With the help of [Spell: Mechanized Mind], after a long time, this "hidden" space returned to normal.

However, after his condition stabilized, Amanesis did not reveal this "hidden" space, and even continued to ask Hermes, "What is the 'first brief awakening day'? Can you tell me about it?"

Seeing the determination in the goddess' eyes, Hermes, who originally wanted to reject her and leave quickly, found it difficult to say no for a moment. The main reason was that he could not defeat the goddess, and he had no confidence before his consciousness in the Observatory Tower returned.

With a hint of pleading, Amanesis said to Hermes again, "Don't worry, I have recovered and will not lose control again. Now can you tell me how the Earth civilization was destroyed? I want to know the truth."

At this time, Hermes looked at the goddess of misfortune, and only then did he remember belatedly the historical knowledge that was bestowed by Xuanjun and injected into his mind.

There was enlightenment on his face, and at the same time, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself:
"I was wondering, how could a subordinate god who is equal to Sequence One not know about such a big thing happening near his own 'body'? Why hasn't he returned yet? It turns out that this is Xuan Jun's arrangement."

Hermes, who understood something, projected the historical "memories" that Xuanjun had injected into his mind into his own body and displayed them in front of Amanisis.

[A bustling night, a bustling city.]
[The moon is filled with blood, and its spirituality is incredibly active.]
[The source material torn apart in the universe, twenty-two forcibly aggregated extraordinary characteristics, and the awakening of the "Prime Creator"]
[The earth begins to collapse, the stored oil evaporates, and disaster befalls the world.]
[The Earth civilization was completely destroyed, the "First Creator" woke up briefly but then split again, and the extraordinary characteristics spread all over the world.]
[The appearance of "Tianzun" and "God", unable to control their aggregation instinct, both "fall"]
[The "old survivors" who survived the destruction and gradually died, gave birth to extraordinary creatures with intelligence.]
[The birth and fall of the ancient gods, the appearance of the blasphemous tablets.]
The manifested "memory" that is no longer under Hermes' control is now showing the "history" from the destruction of Earth civilization to the present day from the "perspective" of a bystander, allowing Amanisis to see the history of Earth's changes with extreme clarity.

"Is this what Xuanjun experienced personally? His first two personalities, 'Tianzun' and 'God'. And the barrier that will be broken in the future of the earth, the predicted doomsday."

At some point, the ocean of Amanesis' subconsciousness had ceased to produce a single wave, as if this cold and cruel reality had completely shattered His original hope of escaping from madness and returning to "home" that had been buried deep in His heart, leaving only a reality that was so real that it was crazy.

At this moment, after the option of "hide" completely disappeared, the mentality of the goddess of doom seemed to change, becoming a little cold and rational, and becoming more adapted to this universe that revealed madness from the underlying rules and logic.

Amanisis looked at Hermes, who wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a hint of "tranquility", "Master Hermes, thank you. May I ask what I need to pay, or what I need to pay in the future, as the price for viewing this knowledge?"

Hermes didn't answer because he didn't know either.

Judging from the current results and actual situation, he, the master of mysticism, is just a tool of Xuanjun. From the time he looked at the blasphemous slab to the time he returned to the Observatory Tower and met the goddess of doom, it seemed that everything was under the control of the being he believed in.

Under such circumstances, Xuanjun did not issue an oracle to express his intentions, and he, the subordinate god who nominally represented him, was also unable to respond to the goddess of doom of the demon wolf clan.

Hermes shrugged, wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand, and said, "I don't know, Goddess. If you want to know the price you have to pay, you may need to ask Xuan Jun in person. You should have heard of His honorable name in the City of Dawn. You can recite it once."

"However, Xuan Jun probably won't respond to your prayers. Because in the past few decades, Xuan Jun has rarely performed 'miracles' or responded to believers' prayers. Even most of the time, when I chanted His name and prayed to Him, I rarely got a clear response."

Amanisis frowned, suddenly feeling the trouble of this matter.

According to records, in the last war between gods, this Xuanjun only took action once, which was to banish the already crazy Demon King and the Alien King to the astral realm, preventing more extraordinary creatures on earth from being affected by the "natural disaster", thus alleviating the disaster caused by the war between gods.

And as far as He knows, the master of the Observatory Tower is not a god. He does not need to be like the Dragon King, the Giant King, the Destruction Wolf and other gods who are always fighting against the madness in their bodies. He was not injured in the last war between gods and does not need to repair the damage through sleep or other means.

But now this Xuanjun seems to have lost contact, and even the reply from the God himself has not given a clear response since more than ten years ago.

No matter how you look at it, this matter seems very strange.

Originally, Amanisis could have ignored this Xuanjun, let alone his life or death. But now that he knew the identity of this Xuanjun as a "remnant of the old days", he received a piece of knowledge from past history, which answered the answer he most desired.

He could no longer ignore this Lord Xuan.

Moreover, as the top subordinate god under the gods, He knew very well that this historical knowledge was not free, but had a corresponding price. The sooner this price could be paid, the better.

Otherwise, in the future, the price He might have to pay would be so great that He might not even be able to pay it back even if He sacrificed His entire being.

At this moment, Hermes suddenly closed his eyes, as if listening to something.

After a moment, he opened his eyes with a silvery light, looked at Amanesis, and said delicately, "Lord Xuan just sent back the oracle."

"He said, 'Amanisis, under the guidance of fate, you will understand the price of this knowledge in the future. Don't worry, you will be able to pay it easily at that time.'"
