Chapter 1117: [Moon Kingdom]
Chapter 1117: [Moon Kingdom]
Bloody Empire.
The Mechanic Association building was lined with various construction tools and structures.
Half a month ago, the Mechanical Association announced that the facilities and magic circle of the building would be renovated. Currently, the association was temporarily relocated to a large mansion in the east of the city. The most important Book Collection Hall was temporarily closed.
This was a secret order issued by Empress Tiffany, but only President Turia and Master Mavinna knew that that time was actually when Her Majesty Empress got married in the Frostland City!
In fact, this was exactly the problem faced by the Mechanic Association itself. Master Turia submitted a maintenance and renovation report last month. At that time, Tiffany’s reply was to start construction in the second half of the year. Unexpectedly, it was suddenly approved at this time. Although the content and timing of the secret order were somewhat bizarre, Turia faithfully carried out the order.
Due to the magic circle involved, an isolation area was established near the building to ensure safety. Originally, the Mechanic Association was located in the edge of the city due to its particularity. There were no ordinary residential buildings around. After this isolation, it became very deserted, only the sounds of digging and construction were heard.
These were naturally just superficial disguises. The 2 empires were still celebrating their marriage on the surface, but no one would imagine what happened behind the scenes.
“Sir Auglas, one last word.” Chen Rui stared at the Book Collection Hall in the distance, “You should know what kind of enemy we will face this time. Actually, you…”
“Duoduo was lost in my hands. I failed to protect her!” Auglas said decisively, “Don’t talk nonsense!”
Chen Rui was silent for a moment and nodded. He could see that maybe it was some kind of emptiness left by Olypheus and Lalaria or maybe it was Duoduo’s super lethal power, Auglas really had a father-daughter-like kinship to Duoduo. This kind of generation was a bit messy, but it was true.
The Dragon Emperor had been in the torment of self-blame since he woke up. He also tried his best to protect Duoduo that day, but he was eventually defeated by Sariel’s terrifying power. If it wasn’t for the protection of [Dragon God Eyes], he would have been smashed to pieces. However, [Dragon God Eyes] had also been severely damaged and could no longer be used now, which meant that Auglas had almost no chance of luck when he came to the Bloody Empire this time.
Even so, Auglas, who had just recovered from his injury, still insisted on coming.
Without further persuasion, Chen Rui walked straight to the Book Collection Hall, and Auglas followed silently.
This time, there were only 2 people in the building.
The Book Collection Hall was temporarily sealed, and the books on the first 3 floors were basically transferred away. The 2 walked straight to the 4th floor without pausing.
They saw a heavy gate that sealed the entrance. The gate was painted with quaint patterns without any keyhole.
This was not the first time Chen Rui had come to this mysterious Book Collection Hall. He condensed the kingdom power of Demi-God level to draw the ancient runes that opened the door. With a rumbling sound, the door slowly opened. On the central ground was a blue glowing halo.
Chen Rui set up the prepared materials into the corresponding position, and a light door appeared. It took a lot of trouble to open previously, but now he could easily open it.
But this time, what Chen Rui would face was not a kingdom or an avatar, but the real Sariel at the peak stage.
Inside the light door was the real entrance to the 4th floor of the Book Collection Hall, which was Sariel’s sub-kingdom.
Ordinary people needed to wear special capes and glasses to enter here, so as to be able to read the knowledge and power of the 4th floor ‘world’. Moreover, there was a strict time limit. Once the time limit was exceeded, one would be annihilated.
This was 1 of the mysteries of Sariel’s kingdom. The equipment such as glasses was likely to be used to select believers, and ‘annihilation’ was not necessarily true death, but to become a believer or part of the energy of this kingdom.
Chen Rui did not wear a cape and glasses. The power he had now enable him to look directly at the real origin of this kingdom.
The sky was full of ever-changing ancient runes, forming a complete and coherent historical poem-like novel.
After fighting opponents including the peak stage of the Pseudo-God, Chen Rui’s insight and power had changed. In the depths of the [Analytical Eyes], these ancient runes were like mazes full of dangerous traps. If one wore glasses and a cape, one could automatically avoid these traps, but one could never get to the essence of this maze.
This maze was actually not the real kingdom but the outer layer protection. This meant that the so-called world of the 4th floor of the Book Collection Hall was only the outer periphery of Sariel’s real sub-kingdom. To enter the real core, avoiding danger was not enough. Instead, they had to break through the maze!
“Sir Auglas.” Chen Rui spoke up while drawing a mysterious light mark in his hand, “I shouldn’t use too much power for the time being. Please channel the power of Pseudo-God according to the ancient runes I’ve drawn to break through this maze of ancient runes.”
“Understood.” Auglas knew that this ‘son-in-law’ was now far stronger than himself, and he was the key to rescuing Duoduo this time. Furthermore, he, the Dragon Emperor, only knew little about these ancient runes, so he immediately followed his words and quickly channeled power into those light mark ancient runes.
The light mark turned into text-like symbols, submerged in the runes in the sky. 1 of the runes began to shine with a distinctive light, followed by the second and third… They quickly spread. These glowing symbols were connected into a series of sentences, which were out of tune with the surrounding runes world as if they were a game of their own.
Soon, the world of runes began to become chaotic, and the scene changed again. In the absence of those special glasses, the runes into large and small worlds. The space of these worlds became extraordinarily chaotic as if they would explode at any time. Only the self-sufficient runes turned into 10 golden stairs.
Chen Rui nodded to Auglas, and the 2 stepped onto the stairs together. With each step, the stairs behind them began to disappear while the stairs in front began to extend step by step.
After about 10 minutes, the 2 felt that the scene had changed. They had entered a special place.
This was a relatively independent space, which was somewhat similar in nature to the Rainbow Valley but with a much larger area. There were 2 moons in the sky, mountains, soil, rivers, and smoke from cooking in the distance. There were probably humans. It was a real kingdom or ‘kingdom’.
One could feel the rich life breath as if every grass and every tree had the essence of life energy and faith.
Not only this, Chen Rui and Auglas also felt that this kingdom was permeated with a special power, which seemed to repel outsiders without faith. Their strength was suppressed to a certain extent. This was kingdom power. Chen Rui also felt it when he was in Despair Main Altar, but the suppression there was far greater than this sub-kingdom.
Chen Rui and Auglas moved to the place where the cooking smoke was. This was a small town with a lot of people. The small plaza in the center was a huge sculpture of a giant eye. The residents of the town wore various eye-shaped accessories; they were obviously the most devout believers.
Chen Rui owned the universe kingdom of the Super System. Therefore, he was very sensitive to believers and faith power. He immediately discovered something strange. The faith power emitted by the residents was very strong for individuals. It was already equivalent to the level of firm believers, but there was a special dullness in the gaze of these people, which was similar to a puppet controlled by the God-Eating Mask.
Chen Rui frowned. These believers seem to be in a state of confusion, that is, they have lost their consciousness and their independent personalities.
According to Python, life and faith are the 2 most important elements of the kingdom. At the same time, they are also a weather vane for growth and development. The two are directly related to the characteristic and power of the kingdom. Generally, powerhouses will choose the balance of the 2 according to their own conditions, or develop equally, or focus on one aspect alone.
Those who can enter the Pseudo-Kingdom of God or sub-kingdom are the most devout believers. Generally speaking, except for the faith, they are no different from ordinary people. Those who lose faith or are not religious will be expelled from the kingdom. But there are also some Pseudo-Gods who, in order to enhance the power of the kingdom, do not hesitate to forcibly deprive believers of their consciousness and turn them into walking corpses.
In this way, absolute loyalty and faith can be maintained, and the faith power will be more refined and powerful, but the spirituality of life will be reduced a lot. This situation in the kingdom should be a deliberate choice by Sariel. His [Body of Moon Soul] is already strong enough, and it is likely that he wants to specialize in the direction of faith, so as to comprehend a higher realm.
The spatial fluctuation in front suddenly changed, and several figures had already appeared in front of the 2 of them.
“Who are you? How dare you trespass this great [Moon Kingdom]!”
Chen Rui could see that these people had reached the Kingdom level, and the leader was at the intermediate stage of the Demi-God. It seemed that he was the guardian of this sub-kingdom. Chen Rui naturally was not bothered by such strength.
“We made a special trip to see Sir Sariel.” Chen Rui spoke up.
“How bold, you call Sir Sariel directly!” The leader Demi-God was furious, “Let me, Leeds, come and take your life as a sacrifice to the supreme ruler of [Moon Kingdom]!”
When Auglas snorted, that Demi-God suddenly felt a terrifying breath coming toward him. His strength was shaken by this simple sound, and his body began to tremble constantly. He could not exert any power at all.
Although he had only recently recovered from the injury, [Dragon God Eyes] had been seriously damaged, and there was even a special suppression power, Auglas’ strength was Pseudo-God after all, far from being shaken by a person of such strength.
The rest of the people were also unable to move under the dragon demeanor of Pseudo-God Auglas. At this moment, the light of the sky suddenly dimmed, and 2 moons turned into 2 huge pupils.
As soon as this pupil appeared, the people who were shocked by the dragon demeanor suddenly felt relieved and recovered. When the residents below saw this pupil, they all knelt to the ground, including Leeds and others, showing piety and fanaticism on their faces.
The 2 giant eyes ignored the believers and focused on Auglas. Auglas immediately felt the terrifying pressure. He was like a frog being stared at by a viper, and cold sweat broke out from his forehead.
Evil Pupils!
Sariel finally showed up!
