Chapter 1491 The Spirit of the Earth and the Earths Core Furnace
This description sounds amazing, of course, and more importantly, Iluna is fine now.
Shade helped Eluna stand up. The latter looked like her senses were a little slow, and she still looked around in a daze. Shade looked at the center of the lava lake in the center of the sea, where the black stem was continuously flowing.
Mud stone pillars.
The divinity is in it, he has felt it from the beginning. If the guardian takes one step later, after he absorbs the divinity and has a short-term "divine overflow" state beyond the thirteen rings, even if the guardian is in this area,
The area is immortal, so Shade has no way to deal with it.
The desire for power in her heart had reached its peak at this time, but Iluna tugged on Shade's sleeve at this time, as if she had finally come to her senses:
"Someone whispered in my ear."
"What? Who?"
Shade immediately looked around, worried that someone unexpected would suddenly appear.
"It's not the enemy, it's the soil beneath our feet."
She seemed to understand something:
"I remember you said that when you entered the black mud for the first time, a figure once gave you the spell of [Fossils to Mud]. And in the legend about the guardian you just recited, there is also a 'spirit of the earth'
'This title."
This is not a consciousness formed by the earth, but something similar. Shade understands it as a natural phenomenon, but the manifestation of this natural phenomenon is like the birth of a soul from the earth.
"The earth told me something."
Iluna said seriously, this is brand new information:
"If you want to eliminate the guardians, you don't have to rely only on large fragments of the Heart of the Earth. If you can purify the earth, the guardians who have become one with the earth can also be affected in turn and wake up."
"Compared to this method, it is easier to use fragments of the Heart of the Earth to temporarily restore the guardian's consciousness to perform rituals. The witch of the fifth era mentioned other methods, but absorbing the filth of the earth is not simple.
.”
Shade commented, and Iluna continued:
"Also, there may be some problems with the [Feast of the Earth Mother Goddess] ritual. In the original era, this was the ancient god of the earth [The Earth Mother Goddess], who gathered the power of the earth to entertain other ancient gods. Now this ceremony
It can still purify the earth, but the problem is that it will collect all the filth in the earth."
"We have to deal with that filth? How about I go home later and bring [God's Gift Box] over?"
Shade said, but saw Iluna shaking her head hesitantly:
"The collected filth is not just matter, but a concept. As long as it still exists, even if it is sealed, it still means that the distortion of the earth still exists. Therefore, if they cannot be processed, even if the chosen one's ritual is successful,
The disasters on the earth will still spread. My suggestion is to let the church seal the filth. Sealing them can at least reduce the degree of distortion of the earth. Or, find someone to swallow the filth. For example, let the chosen ones of the earth swallow the filth. Only
Only he has this ability. Then he will destroy the chosen ones and completely eliminate all filth."
After saying that, she sighed softly:
"But it is best not to use the latter method, otherwise even if the earth is purified, the instability of the material world will intensify from now on. After all, the earth is the cornerstone."
In this way, Shade probably understood why there was a thirteen-ring warlock like the Guardian, and the long-haired Luvia also asked Sirius to make a sacrifice, but she still failed in the end. It is very likely that the chosen one of the earth
At the end of the story, Luvia failed to achieve the perfect ending that Shade thought.
But in addition to sealing the filth collected by the banquet, there may be other ways. For example, after transforming into a god, Shade may be able to deal with those things, so there is no need to think too much at this time.
And if the gods can't solve it for various reasons. Shade probably understood what the [Guardian] meant when he briefly woke up just now and said that someone must make a sacrifice.
"Can you still continue to communicate with the spirit of the earth now?"
Shade asked, after Iluna nodded:
"So, if I want to extract the power here now, what will happen?"
He pointed to the stone pillar engraved with the ancient sacred emblem and flowing with black silt. Iluna stroked the sweat on her forehead, closed her eyes, relaxed her mind, and entered a deep state of meditation:
"This stone pillar itself actually has no power. Everything you can get is a gift from the earth and will not have any impact."
Iluna said.
"So you know how we're going to get out of here?"
Shade asked again. Iluna closed her eyes again and shook her head slightly after a moment:
"Originally, as long as we touch this stone pillar, we can appear in any area of the Randall Valley. But when the guardian left, he blocked the Heart of the Earth, so this method doesn't work now. He is now simply the incarnation of the Heart of the Earth.
"
"This is a good thing. The more powerful the guardian is, the more powerful our future companions will be."
Shade said, signaling to Iluna not to worry about leaving. He continued to hold the fragment of the Heart of the Earth obtained from the Mithril Cube:
"Wait for me a moment, we will leave immediately. Then, it will be the final battle."
Iluna nodded, but when she saw the stone in Shade's hand, she frowned slightly:
"The fragments in your hands are also contaminated."
"Yeah?"
"The degree of pollution is very slight, but it is indeed not pure enough. In fact, including the two small stones held by the two of us, these stones are all impure. After all, the distortion of the earth did not happen in the past two years, so these
The closer the stone was to modern times, the more serious the pollution. The stone you just gave me is the purest."
That's because the stone from the "Eternal Night City" had been in the night for who knows how long before it was seen by Shade and Fiona in the middle of the fifth era. If the [Midnight Art Museum]
The introduction to the exhibit is correct. This stone was most likely separated when the ancient gods left in the Second Age.
"No matter whether it is pure or not, as long as it can make the guardian wake up briefly."
Shade said, then looked at the irregular stone pillar:
"Finally, this moment has come again."
He and Iluna walked towards the pillar together. Because she had swallowed part of the power of the Heart of the Earth, Iluna was now able to walk here on her own, while Shade was still holding the stone.
Looking closer, in fact, on the irregular stone pillar, in addition to the holy symbol symbol representing the ancient god [Mother Earth], there are also densely packed very small letters.
Those letters are changing every moment with the slight trembling of the ground, forming ancient stories related to the earth that cover almost the entire world, and the language of the letters is something that Shade and Iluna have never seen before.
.
If the Heart of the Earth, which has been in this magma lake for who knows how long under the two people's feet, is the core of the physical world, then this stone pillar is probably the core of the Heart of the Earth.
Iluna didn't recognize those ancient characters, and when she got close to the stone pillars, she couldn't bear the pressure and couldn't observe them carefully. Although Shade had a similar situation, at least he knew the characters on the stone pillars, and before he had a splitting headache,
Interpretation of some of the constant changes:
"The special space left by the Mother Earth is called the [Earth Furnace]."
Shade told Iluna what he could know so far:
"It is a white mist space that is very similar to the current magma lake environment in the center of the earth. The [Earth Core Furnace] contains the power of the earth. Any material put into it can be tempered by the power of the earth. Even the human body and soul are the same.
.In addition, relying on the power of the furnace in the center of the earth, you can monitor the dynamics of the earth and know natural disasters and weather conditions in the near future. This is just a basic function, and I cannot interpret more content."
"The furnace in the center of the earth? So where is the entrance?"
Iluna asked, and Shade pointed at his feet:
"The entrance to the [Earth's Core Furnace] can be formed only under certain circumstances. Just like where we are now, a very simple ritual can permanently solidify the 'door' under our feet. It is different from the doors we encountered before.
The door of the Heart Furnace can not only be a normal door, but also a trap door embedded in the ground. Oh, except here, it requires very special circumstances to permanently fix the entrance to the [Earth Core Furnace], but these things,
Let’s discuss it later.”
Shade said, looking down at the mud flowing out of the bottom of the stone pillar, which almost covered his feet:
"Seek gifts from the earth, Iluna, the earth is with us."
So, the two of them stretched out their hands and placed their palms on the surface of the stone, one on the left and the other on the right. The first thing they sensed was the filth that was trying to distort themselves, but the stone in Shade's hand and the power in Iluna's heart
, all resisted the pollution of the earth for them.
Later, the two saw different powers respectively.
【Outlander, you have come into contact with a "miracle".】
The voice of "her" was very soft, and Shade's eyes had already seen the black stone pillars glowing in his hands. He didn't know what Iluna next to him saw at this moment. He only knew that divinity was only separated by a window at this moment.
A thin stone wall stood in front of him, and the longing desire in his heart almost turned into reality at this moment, driving Shade crazy.
Fortunately, "she" always appears at the most appropriate time:
【I am you.】
"You are me!"
A subtle golden light seeped out from the cracks in the stone. The light was like a sharp knife, leaving deep cracks on Shade's fingertips, and then a bright light radiated from the cracks on Shade's fingertips.
light.
The cracks and the light followed the cracks on Shade's arms and crawled all over his body. Because this drop of divinity was not snatched away by Shade, and the original owner of the divinity did not mind the loss of his power, so that
The huge, ancient and indescribable power entered Shade's soul as he took a deep breath.
