Chapter 765 Source

He traveled from "Earth" to the current world, and for some reason was resurrected in the body of Cole Granger, and accidentally became a woman - this was a fact that Angel confirmed on the first day he woke up in his current body.

The important evidence is nothing more than two:

First, this world has a geography, culture, and ecology that are completely different from those of Earth. There are giants, dragons, elves, and sirens. Even during the years when evil spirits were rampant on Earth, there were no groups of alien creatures, let alone the creation of corresponding civilizations.

Second, Russell Gustav, a time traveler from two hundred years ago, brought the science and technology and cultural treasures of "Earth" to this world. The various works he borrowed and imitated are still circulating in the world. Today's scientific community concludes that if he had not appeared out of nowhere, the technological level of the entire world might still remain at the level of two hundred years ago.

Both pieces of evidence, one positive and one side, confirm that "Earth" and this planet are two different worlds, and that "time travel" does exist.

Angel's opinion was somewhat shaken after talking with the "Imaginary Angel" Adam, but after being comforted by Klein, she temporarily put the dispute aside for various reasons and convinced herself with appropriate reasons: Maybe Adam was lying to me?

But all this changed after Angel saw Angel Gray's body in that city.

The good news is that Angel Grey really existed and died from a flaming spear that pierced his heart. Everything was consistent with his memory, and Adam did not modify it.

The bad news is that the body appeared in the "City of Disaster" which is closely connected to this world.

On the one hand, this freed her from worrying about being the evil Cole Granger whose memory had been tampered with. On the other hand, it also created new questions:

Did I really come from "Earth"?

Of course, Angel had no experience in time travel. Perhaps, after she died in her previous life, some force sent Angel Gray's body and soul to this world. The body was thrown into the city that could present various cultures and eras, and the soul attached itself to another body that had just died and resurrected as her current self.

But another guess is more likely to be closer to the truth:

Perhaps, she has never left "Earth".

Perhaps, this world is "Earth".

As soon as this idea came into her mind, it aggressively occupied Angel's entire mind, allowing her to find evidence one after another in an instant.

This world also had twelve months in a year and three hundred and sixty-five days, and even the length of each day was the same as she remembered;

There is only one sun and one moon;

The gravity, the seasons, the angle of the sun are exactly the same...

"No, these could all be coincidences. After all, only similar environments can breed life and give birth to true civilization!"

Another voice in my mind retorted.

But more details emerged from Angel's heart, drowning out that resistance:

The structures of the Southern and Northern Continents are similar to those of North and South America, except that Central America was obliterated by the Fall of the God of Death, becoming an impassable, turbulent sea. Sonia Island appears to be formed by the displacement of Greenland, and the Intermediate Sea is undoubtedly the product of the fusion of the Great Lakes of North America and Hudson Bay...

The central plateau, the Hornach Mountains, the Amanda Mountains and other terrains of the northern continent can also correspond one-to-one with the plateaus and mountain ranges of North America...

The Sonia Sea and the Misty Sea surround the northern and southern continents in the east and west respectively, which corresponds to the position of the two oceans...

To the east of the legendary Western Continent and the ruins of the War of Gods, the "God-forsaken Land" verified by Mr. "Sun"—doesn't that correspond to Earth's largest landmass?

On the "Mirai", at the edge of the Sonia Sea, Angel and Nina explored the "deep hole" on the seabed and found corroded metal and a circular deep well nearby...

Once she had a direction for her thinking and a solid foundation, the evidence that she usually ignored or thought was coincidence quickly became the skeleton, building a giant hammer that could shake Angel's worldview.

What if this is Earth? What if the existing human civilization was a brand new world recreated on the ruins after evil wreaked havoc, the world was destroyed, and even the terrain was changed?

What if, after his death, his body, along with that street, and even that city, had been "preserved" by some force, spanning countless years until this era, and then a year ago, when it was activated again due to some circumstances, allowing his soul to leave that place and possess the body of the deceased Cole Granger...

And at that time, did I understand that situation as time travel?

So, Russell Gustav should be in the same situation? Is there a place for his body in that "City of Disaster"?

Angel thought of another time traveler again, and his regret for not having returned to "Earth".

If this is really "Earth", then he has no need to return, nor can he return... because time cannot flow backwards, and what is gone will never come back!

After understanding this, Angel's spirituality, which had been surging in his body and the chill that had been spreading throughout his body from the moment he heard Ince Zangwill say the name "Cole Granger" to the moment he saw his own corpse and finally discovered the secret of "time travel", finally calmed down.

In despair, she completely digested the "despair" potion.

…

"No, this is just my guess, not necessarily the truth... There are still many unanswered questions, such as the red moon and the position of the stars... That apocalyptic city also has too many secrets yet to be explored..."

Muttering to himself, Angel's heart, which had sunk to the bottom, gradually rose again.

After resolving the issues with Ince Zangwill and "0-08", she was able to relax for a while and devote some of her energy to exploring and thinking about these issues, answering all the doubts in her heart.

Of course, the secrets behind the smog and his own path to promotion will also take up some time.

Angel couldn't help but laugh at the thought of promotion.

If this is really the Earth, and I have really lived for a long time after death, the "immortality" ceremony will become a complete joke.

Even according to existing historical records, the Fourth and Fifth Eras lasted more than two thousand years, not to mention the first three eras hidden in the mist of history, and the time between two or even more civilizations.

With this understanding, whether Angel is willing or not, she has passively "experienced a long time" and gained a mentality that is different from her physical age.

Was this a blessing in disguise, or the result of some kind of "arrangement"? Judging from my fragmented memories of Adam and a certain woman, the latter is probably more likely... Angel straightened up out of his inexplicable fear of the "Imaginary Angel." He quickly turned his head and looked around, fearing that a priest in a white robe, with blond hair and a golden beard, and a smiling face would emerge from a corner. Even though He had appeared at the scene of his proposal last night!

call……

She breathed a sigh of relief when she found herself alone in the bedroom in the early morning. Her gaze lingered on the dressing mirror for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

She had been analyzing and doubting herself for a long time. Why didn't she find someone who was more likely to know the answer and ask?

Angel jumped up from the sofa, went to the dressing mirror, and drew symbols representing secrecy and peeping directly on the mirror with makeup charcoal.

It didn't take long before the morning light outside the window dimmed. The mirror surface first turned black, rippling like water, and then lines of cursive Rune script emerged:

"Beautiful, powerful, and wise mistress, your ever-loyal servant Arrods has responded to your summons!

"I saw the brand new ring on your finger. May I ask which great being it came from?"

Great Being...Arrodes has always called Klein that. It obviously knows who gave him the ring...Angel laughed dumbly, nodded, and replied:

"It's your master."

"As expected!" The mirror flickered in front of Angel, emitting abstract fireworks. "When the master summoned me yesterday, I reminded him of your birthday... Of course, he definitely remembered it. However, did I make a small contribution to your relationship with him?"

Looking at Arrodes, who was eager to take credit and whose handwriting had become larger and bolder, Angel felt that the dejection and frustration she had felt while thinking about "life" before were slightly diluted by the playful laughter in her heart. This made her tense face and body relax a little, and she replied with a light smile:

"I guess so."

"That's absolutely correct! You can ask your question now!"

Arrods seemed extremely happy, and even the silver-white text took on a hint of gold, like a bunch of gold coins.

Seeing this, Angel waited silently for a moment, letting himself calm down and preparing for any unexpected situation. Then he slowly asked:

"Arrodes, what I want to ask is," she asked the "humble servant" so solemnly for the first time, "what do you know about the 'City of Disaster'?"

She still remembered that Arrodes had recognized the "authority" represented by the special power in him, which was the volcano, lava and flood in the doomsday, and it was obviously inextricably linked to the "disaster".

The black mirror remained silent for a few seconds before the golden lines reorganized into corresponding words:

"I've only heard of this name in rumors. In the dark Second Age, the ancient gods believed that the original creator left behind some things made by him, or directly transformed from his body, representing a part of his power. 'City of Disaster' was one of them.

"You once asked me about the source of your 'specialness'. At that time, I responded with the authority of Doomsday. Now it seems that perhaps your connection to the 'City of Disaster' is the source of that power."

It's a bit vague. It seems Arrodes's knowledge is limited... Angel muttered and continued to ask:

"One of these? Are there many of these 'things'?"

"Yes, they're called 'Source Materials,' and there are nine in total. It's said that the second 'Profane Slate' contains detailed records." The golden text kept disappearing and reappearing, dazzling Angel's eyes. "I only know a few of them: 'Source Castle,' said to be hidden in the spirit world; 'Chaos Sea,' which the ancient gods believe is the source of underground pollution; 'River of Eternal Darkness,' deep within Calderon, the 'City of the Dead,' 'The Mother Nest,' which is related to the moon; and 'Wild Land of Knowledge' and 'World of Shadows,' whose names I've only heard of."

Including the "City of Disaster," there are seven of the nine "sources." What are the names of the other two? Judging from the names of these source substances, and the correspondence between the "City of Disaster" and the city in the apocalypse, could they really be rivers, castles, oceans, or even entire worlds?

Unable to grasp any clue, Angel had to write down these terms first. After all, these were all mystical knowledge that she had never seen or heard of before.

Then, she continued to ask:

"Can you glimpse into the First Age, or even earlier, through divination, spiritualism, or any similar methods?"
