Chapter 1499 Shock and Surprise
Noticing Jasmine's suddenly enlightened expression, Lei Xiao immediately turned his gaze over and continued to listen to what she said.
"It's a phenomenon caused by spatial overlap!"
Jasmine's starry eyes sparkled as she blurted out, "It must be that great god who overlapped the ancient ruins space we were in just now with the space where the Watchtower City still exists!"
"Overlapping?"
Lei Xiao frowned slightly and asked, "But why did the other party do this?"
"Of course it's to teleport us here!"
Jasmine's starry eyes once again showed a touch of shock, and she responded, "In theory, the normal teleportation technique is to open the void space first, and then use the void space to return to the real space. Because the two are completely different, this is how you achieve the purpose of space jumping."
"And I once read in an ancient document that there is actually another more sophisticated way of teleportation, which is space overlap. Only gods have the ability to cast this kind of divine magic!"
Jasmine's voice became more solemn as she explained, "As the name suggests, spatial overlap means that without entering the void space, one can use the enormous power of the gods that can destroy the heavens and the earth to directly overlap two real spaces together, so as to achieve the purpose of teleportation!"
"So, the faint spatial fluctuations you sensed at the beginning were the precursor to the spatial overlap? Rather than the spatial barrier that blocked our departure?"
Lei Xiao stroked his chin gently, thinking.
"That's right. No wonder I couldn't cast any space spells at that time. In front of that extremely huge force, any existence is not worth mentioning. It even affects the space itself!"
Jasmine nodded heavily and continued, "We all saw each other as outlines. This is naturally because the space is overlapping. It's like seeing each other in the gap between the spaces."
"That's why the arrows shot by the opponent disappeared halfway, because the two spaces had not yet completely overlapped and were in an unstable state, just like an intermittent magic communication signal."
After listening to Jasmine's explanation, Lei Xiao nodded in sudden enlightenment: "So the reason why our absolute defense barrier was inexplicably torn apart at the last moment, and then a dazzling gray light flashed before our eyes, was because the teleportation was completed in an instant, right?"
"That's right, but this kind of teleportation is too special. We didn't even feel the lightness that we normally feel when teleporting. That's why we didn't react in time."
Jasmine affirmed Lei Xiao's opinion and responded.
Hearing this, everyone else on our side also looked enlightened.
At that time, because the surrounding scenes suddenly changed, everyone subconsciously thought that they had returned to the past, but they did not realize that it was a special teleportation!
Of course, Lei Xiao, who has long been extremely sensitive to these things, is an exception.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Brave, it seems that we have indeed neglected you all!"
Old Booker also understood the whole story. After apologizing to Lei Xiao repeatedly, he shouted at the middle-aged general in silver armor who was carrying a longbow beside him: "General Curry, you actually attacked the brave men who came to rescue us. Why don't you apologize to the brave man?"
After hearing the words of the old city lord, just as the middle-aged general, with a face full of apology, was about to speak, he was stopped by Lei Xiao's wave of his hand.
"Your Excellency the City Lord and Your Excellency the General, there is no need to apologize. After all, this incident happened too suddenly. We also launched a counterattack at the time. Fortunately, the transmission had not yet started, so the city and the loyal guards were not harmed."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said, "Since the misunderstanding has been resolved and no losses have been caused, let's focus on the present."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, our strong men nodded in agreement without saying much, and the other side also cast respectful glances at him.
Just as the Lord God predicted, it seems that the heroes summoned this time are indeed extraordinary, humble and open-minded, far from the arrogant heroes before!
"Then I will listen to you, Mr. Brave."
Old Booker also nodded in agreement, and then his expression became serious again. He said solemnly: "Then please follow me to the Great Temple, my brave friends. I will talk to you as we walk."
"Thank you, Lord City Lord."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and took a step forward.
Under the guidance of the old city lord, we soon arrived at the corner at the end of the street, where stood a huge teleportation array surrounded by a pile of large magic crystals, leading directly to the door of the great temple in the center of the city.
In this process, Lei Xiao learned more.
The scale of this watch city is extremely large, almost comparable to the Lion City.
Not only that, the combat power here is also very impressive, with a total of 10 fourth-level legions and 50 third-level legions, and thousands of high-level warriors above level five, which is enough to rival the third-rate forces in the outside world.
From this, it is not difficult to see that the Silver Fire Kingdom is extremely powerful in this land. After all, this is just one of the cities.
"Then the question is, I only have a hundred level six warriors under my command, which is equal to the number of the other side's level six warriors. How can I solve the crisis here?"
"By the way, what exactly is the crisis here? Who are their enemies? Could it be..."
Just when Lei Xiao was puzzled, the gray light of the teleportation array flashed by. When his vision became clear again, he had arrived in front of an extremely huge pure white temple building.
Looking up, this huge building made entirely of giant stones and stone pillars is simply a magnificent giant fortress, and the highest point alone is probably over a hundred meters high.
The pure white surface of the building is decorated with giant golden patterns, which makes it look sacred and awe-inspiring in its grandeur.
"Wow, it's even bigger than the main hall of the Holy Temple of Light. It's simply unprecedented."
Lei Xiao looked at the rows of giant pure white stone pillars outside the temple, each of which stood like a giant, and was amazed.
Because they were going deep underground, Bing Lao did not come along this time. Otherwise, as he was once the chosen son of God, he would have felt a sense of absence and familiarity. After all, temples of this size were not uncommon in the Silver Moon Era.
Around Lei Xiao, our other powerful warriors were also filled with surprise. On our plate where the gods had long gone away, it was obvious that such a huge and magnificent temple no longer stood!
In addition to being amazed, a hint of doubt appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
This giant temple is much taller than other buildings. Why didn’t our group see it just now?
"Sir Brave, space folding is used around the Great Temple, so it cannot be observed from a distance."
Old Booker obviously noticed Lei Xiao's confusion and explained: "This is also to protect the safety of the Great Temple. After all, the enemy we are waiting for is too terrifying."
"So that's it."
Upon hearing the voice, Lei Xiao looked at Jasmine again, who also gave him an affirmative look, indicating that space folding was indeed used here.
"Your Excellency the City Lord, can you let us take a look inside the temple?"
Lei Xiao calmed his mind and asked Old Booker.
After saying that, a hint of curiosity emerged on Lei Xiao's face.
If the sound enshrined here is really a reminder sound, then I would like to see what the reminder sound sounds like.
"Of course, that's exactly what I'm going to do next."
Old Booker nodded and signaled the silver-armored guards guarding the door to open the temple door.
Accompanied by the dull friction sound of a giant stone door opening, when the door opened, a team of strong men in pure white robes immediately came out.
According to Old Booker, these people are the priests of the temple, and Old Booker himself is not only the lord of the city, but also the high priest here.
Walking into the magnificent hall of the temple, it goes without saying how sacred and magnificent this place is. Under the guidance of Old Booker, the group passed through the hall full of flower beds and fountains, and soon came to a prayer hall.
This prayer hall is extremely large, and it obviously uses space folding. It is much larger than it appears from the outside, and is almost like a small town.
Looking around, there are densely packed benches and layers of stairs, and everything is magnificent and golden, and there is almost no end in sight.
At this time, there were still thousands of residents praying in the prayer hall, which looked extremely spectacular. There were also hundreds of priests singing and cleaning.
According to Old Booker, there are hundreds of entrances and exits and thousands of small teleportation arrays distributed throughout the temple, enough to accommodate the residents of the entire city.
After hearing Old Booker's introduction, everyone's faces were filled with even greater surprise. Even the knowledgeable Jasmine had the same expression. It was unbelievable that so many resources and manpower were used to build and maintain this place, even for the forest elves!
To be more precise, today when the gods have long gone, I am afraid that no first-class force standing at the top of all races will do this!
Feeling the shock and surprise of our people, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and finally set his sights on the giant statue at the end of the prayer hall.
"Is this most likely the statue that prompted the sound?"
Lei Xiao looked at it intently and noticed further.
The statue wears an olive wreath on its head and a long robe. Its body is tall and strong. Not only the wrinkles on the clothes, but even the muscle contours and sweat hair on the exposed arms are clearly visible. The carving technique is truly amazing.
Moreover, although the statue is not wearing any weapons or staff, it holds a thick book in its hands, looking sacred and wise.
The only thing that puzzled Lei Xiao was that the face of the statue was completely blank, without even any facial features, which looked extremely abrupt.
"Is this the true face of the prompt sound? It has no face at all."
Lei Xiao frowned slightly, obviously caught off guard.
Not only Lei Xiao noticed this, but other strong men on our side also had the same look, all showing confusion.
"Don't be surprised, everyone. When we receive divine revelations, we occasionally see the divine body of the Lord God, and it really looks like this."
Old Booker took it for granted and explained, "Perhaps it's because we are not pious enough that we can't see the true face of the Lord God."
After saying this, the badge of God's favor worn on Old Booker's chest shone brightly, and he and the other priests bowed deeply to the statue with solemn and pious expressions.
As for our people, they did not react at all. They seemed a little out of place in this prayer hall. After all, there was no protection of gods in our territory.
When Old Booker stood up again, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and asked, "Your Excellency the City Lord, it's time to tell us about those enemies."
"Please follow me this way."
Old Booker nodded heavily, and led his group out of the prayer hall, and finally came to a large VIP room in the temple.
"To be honest with you, my dear heroes, our enemy is none other than Eclipse!"
Old Booker said this in a succinct and solemn voice.
"Is it really an Eclipse?"
Lei Xiao looked as if he had expected this, and some of our strong men, such as Jasmine and Gray Old, had obviously also thought of this and frowned.
After all, one of the purposes of our coming to the ancient ruins was to investigate the traces of "Eclipse", but what no one expected was that they would fight against "Eclipse" in this unfamiliar land.
"Your Excellency the City Lord, don't you have the [God's Stone]?"
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then asked again.
As we all know, the [God's Stone] is the only weapon to fight against "Eclipse", so Lei Xiao has this question.
"Yes, of course, but it has long since become like this."
Old Booker sighed lightly, waved his hand across the table in front of him, and some broken gems emerged.
"This is……?!"
Looking at those dull gem fragments, Lei Xiao couldn't help but be stunned.
Although they are just some incomplete fragments, it can still be seen that these are part of the [God's Stone]!
Xuanji and other stone elves also opened their eyes wide. They could also feel that there was still a trace of the same kind of breath lingering on it!
"Wait, I'm a little confused. Isn't the [God's Stone] just dormant and indestructible?"
Jasmine obviously noticed this as well, and her face was filled with astonishment.
“We thought so at the beginning.”
Old Booker's eyes dimmed and he began to describe.
Through the description of the old city lord, everyone learned that in this land, the war between the myriad races and "Eclipse" has never stopped since the blank era.
In the beginning, people did have the upper hand with the power of the [God's Stone], but many [God's Stone] were defeated by "Eclipse" and fell asleep one after another, until they woke up again and joined the battle.
This cycle repeated itself, and one day people were suddenly shocked to find that as the number of sleeping times increased, many [God's Stones] began to crack, until they were defeated by "Eclipse" again, they completely shattered and finally turned into this fragmented appearance.
"Until one day, with the shattering of the last [God's Stone], we no longer have any means to fight against the Eclipse."
When Old Booker said this, Lei Xiao and his companions were already filled with astonishment and began to look at each other in bewilderment. (End of this chapter)
