In fact, only a few people know that the Crystal Mountain Asuman has an extremely vast and mysterious internal space, and there is an ancient gatekeeper who has been guarding this magnificent holy place throughout human history - all of the people who are qualified to enter the interior of Asuman are bishop-level figures of the Goddess of Creation Sect, and the only one who can communicate with the gatekeeper and open or close the various halls of Asuman at will has been the only one since ancient times.The gatekeeper wordlessly opened a light door, the edge of the light door shook a few times, and then stabilized into a teleportation channel, on the other side of the passage, a crystalline hall filled with a faint halo could be seen, Pope August VII nodded slightly to the gatekeeper, and stepped into the door.The teleportation channel shook and closed, and August VII had arrived in the "Hall of Stars" inside Asuman, a pyramid-shaped space, with four walls gradually converging in the middle around it, and finally meeting at one point at the top of the hall, where a huge white crystal was suspended high, emitting a low humming sound, and mysterious runes and images continued to roam the walls and floors of the hall, and only a few of them could be understood by humans- This is the result of thousands of years of research by the most brilliant scholars of the sect.Most of the interior of the Asuman is in the shape of a pyramid, differing only in size and lighting, and it has taken scholars countless generations to decipher the names of some of these halls, but they have no idea what they do or how they work.The space in front of me is called "Hall of the Stars".There is no doubt that the Hall of Astrology is the name inscribed on the entrance and exit from here to other areas, but in fact the scholars of the Church have always been confused about it: judging by the name, this room is supposed to be a place to observe the starry sky or store astrological data, but in fact there is no opening here where the outside sky can be observed, and the equipment in the room has nothing to do with astrology.In the world of Kolo, astrology is a profound science, and this world has an eternal and unchanging starry sky, which is the image of the stars that remain on the boundary of space when this space is isolated from the physical universe - the Kolo people do not know the secrets, but this does not prevent them from learning about the workings of their world from the stars.Although the stars do not move, the various phantom lights produced by the undulations of the Karnos Sea are projected on the starry sky, and these rays wander on the natural chessboard formed by the stars, creating various disturbances with the starlight, from which astrologers can deduce the movement of chaos and the length of the year of order.It can be said that as long as the history of the world of Kolo is, the history of human astrology is as long as the history of human astrology, and the people of this world are no strangers to this science at all.However, there is nothing related to astrology in the astrological hall of Asuman, there is only a large number of mysterious crystals, and on the largest crystal, there is a mysterious text that wanders year after year, which Augustus VII thought must be of great significance, but unfortunately scholars have not been able to decipher the secret of this text.The runes inside Asuman were so profound that even if he rubbed out all the runes inside Asuman and handed them over to the respected linguists in the Sanctuary to analyze, no one would be able to figure out the meaning of every word in this holy place.The old pope came to the crystal tower in the center of the Hall of Stars, and the gatekeeper followed the old man without saying a word.The crystal tower, as always, floated around the crystal tower with a phrase that no one could understand, but after sensing the Pope's approach, the phrase temporarily retreated, and other symbols and images appeared in the air.August VII placed his hand on the crystal tower and carefully touched the delicate ridges on the surface of the crystalline column, so that the image projected in the air also changed.It eventually forms a hologram of the world of Kolo.The picture was blurry and constantly shaking, as if the equipment was malfunctioning, and some of the text floating on the map was even more indistinct, and only one mark in the entire hologram was meaningful, that is, a light road sign located in the south-central part of the Ansu continent.The sign appeared out of nowhere less than a month ago—and after it appeared, many previously enclosed areas of the Asuman awoke from their slumber, and the Pope was convinced that it must have been guided by divine will.“…… Ansu Continent ......
Ancient Temple of Kasuan......" the old Pope muttered to himself, "this temple that has disappeared from the world of order for a thousand years still exists......
Goddess, what do you want me to understand?
”Naturally, the hologram could not answer the old Pope's question, it just floated silently in the air, and was constantly blurred by some distractions.August VII turned off the hologram and continued to activate the other systems.He called up the few interfaces that could be controlled and understood by mortals, and one of them showed the image of the entire Crystal Mountain: this image was quite clear, it showed that about a third of the Holy Mountain was still hidden under the earth, and that there was an extremely complex structure inside the Mountain, and in many places on the image, a striking orange logo could be seen, and the words August could still read: "Unknown error, unable to read the analysis data." ”He zoomed in and locked on to the crack at the top of the sacred mountain, where the image showed a terrible penetrating wound, and a "foreign object" stuck in the deepest part of the penetrating wound.A few months ago, it was this mysterious alien creature that cut through the sky and tore a crack in the sacred mountain of Assuman, and since that day, the state of the Crystal Sacred Mountain has deteriorated day by day, until not long ago, even the light of order faded from the sacred mountain.In the process, Asuman himself was actually trying to heal himself: the crack had now healed nearly two-thirds of the way, but because the "foreign body" was still stuck in its deepest part, this healing was never complete, and the speed of self-healing was much slower than the speed of the Holy Mountain's failure.The top of the holy mountain on the hologram glows orange as a warning, and the rift is marked in red, with a line of text floating next to it: Critical warning, #@¥#%@¥ Severely damaged, power output is reduced, self-healing function is limited, and immediate manual intervention is required.The old pope looked at these images and asked without looking back: "Is there a way to get there?"
”The gatekeeper stood behind him without saying a word, without saying anything.The old pope knew that this was what it meant to mean "negation".If something can be executed, then the gatekeeper will do it immediately, and if she does not react, then it means that the thing must not be executed.The gatekeeper is such a mechanical guard, unable to convince or even communicate.The old Pope's brow furrowed, but he couldn't say anything more to the silent gatekeeper, he knew that this matter was beyond the limits of mortal power.The "Alien Object" bombarded the summit of Assuman, the highest crystal spike known as the Throne of Divine Will, which was undoubtedly forbidden for mortals.The Crystal Sacred Mountain Assuman has been shrouded in powerful divine energy all year round, from the foot of the mountain upwards, every hundred meters of ascent, the divine energy wandering around the mountain wall will be doubled, and the height of the mountain wall corresponding to the high platform at the top of the "Icon Palace" is actually the limit that mortals can bear, which is why only people at the level of the Pope or Bishop can stand on that high platform: this is not only a symbol of status, but also because the strength of ordinary people is not enough to face the coercion of Asuman.Even August VII himself, if he climbed to the throne of divine will, would probably only last ten minutes - after which he would be incinerated to ashes by Kamui, not to mention the other monks.Therefore, even if everyone knew that the "alien object" that caused Asumman's continuous failure was in the area of the Divine Throne, they would not be able to take it out.It was impossible to climb to the top of the Holy Mountain from the outside, and August VII once placed his hope on going to that place from the inside of the Holy Mountain.But the gatekeeper never opened the passage to that location - the mysterious guardian mechanically adhered to a principle like a magic puppet, and she seemed to be unconcerned about the reality of Assuman's weakening in comparison.After a few moments in the Hall of the Stars, the Pope left the place.He did not leave Asuman and asked the gatekeeper to take him to several other halls that had already been opened.Some of these halls have been open to the public thousands or even 10,000 years ago, while others have just woken up from their slumber last month and suddenly appeared to outsiders.Among the several halls that have recently opened, one in particular has caught the attention of Auguste VII, who has visited the place more than once in the past half month.Structurally, the newly emerged hall was supposed to be halfway up the Asuman Sacred Mountain, and was traversed by the central axis of the sacred mountain, and no one was aware of the existence of this room until the crystal barriers that blocked the hall suddenly disappeared.The Pope was led by the gatekeeper into the hall, known as the "Nexus of the Wills", and as he had done several times before, as soon as he stepped into the place, he immediately felt a soft, deep voice ringing in his head.However, the voice was too faint and staccato to be discernible.The Pope raised his head, and he saw that in the center of this pyramid-shaped hall, there was a huge crystal with an irregular shape, the crystal was three meters high, and the halo of light lingered, and inside the crystal, it seemed to seal something.Of course, he was no stranger to this scene, in fact he had been studying the crystal for half a month, but even a knowledgeable pope did not understand what was in the crystal.There was a ball of light sealed in it, a light like a starry sky.
