"This is what you call a secret treasure..."
Standing in the deepest part of the Sun Fortress, Fang Zheng snorted softly as he looked at the green-haired girl sleeping in the sphere in front of him.
"That's right. You can't imagine what our Croesus clan has paid for this. What we pray for is not the original Phantom Secret Treasure, but a masterpiece that surpasses the Goddess' Phantom Secret Treasure!"
Behind Fang Zheng, Arios stood there, and in the shadow beside him was Mariabell, who was bound by tentacles. At this moment, she stared at Fang Zheng fiercely, with a crazy light flashing in her eyes.
"You don't understand our wish at all. We will create a brand new god on this land who is no less powerful than the goddess!!"
"hehe."
Facing Mariabell's screams and roars, Fang Zheng just chuckled, then he raised his hand. Then, under Fang Zheng's action, the ball shattered instantly, and then the green-haired girl slowly fell down as if attracted, and then fell into Fang Zheng's arms.
“That’s how it is on this land.”
Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, then turned around and gave Mariabell a weird smile.
"Come with me, I'll show you something good."
As Fang Zheng spoke, he led Arios and Mariabell out of the Sun Fortress. Then, a silver-white warship descended from the sky and came in front of Fang Zheng. Seeing this, Mariabell snorted coldly and didn't take it to heart. After all, she was the last descendant of the Kurois clan. Although this "airship" looked a little strange, Mariabell was not an ignorant child from a primitive tribe, so she would not be fooled by such a thing.
At this moment, the hatch opened, and then Illya trotted over to Fang Zheng.
"MASTER, you're back. Who is this child?"
"A sleeping beauty who has been sleeping for five hundred years. Take her to her room to rest."
Fang Zheng handed the green-haired girl to Illya, then walked to the bridge. Immediately afterwards, the spaceship began to rise, higher and higher, higher and higher... Then, everyone saw the azure sky in front of them suddenly change, turning into a dark and vast sea of stars, and beneath them, the originally vast and boundless earth turned into a huge sphere.
“Is this our world?”
Seeing this scene, Arios was stunned, while Mariabell's eyes widened in surprise.
"This is impossible, this is impossible! How can you break through the goddess' seal?! This is absolutely impossible!"
"The Seal of the Goddess? Oh, you mean the gravity well."
Hearing Maria Bell's scream and roar, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment before he realized what she meant. In this world, there are already airships, and people have naturally thought about exploring higher in the sky, and even exploring the place where the goddess of the sky is said to be. However, they found that their airships can only reach a certain height, and then they can no longer break through this limit.
The puzzled Semlia people had no idea why this happened, so they called it "the Seal of the Goddess", meaning that the goddess only allows us to move at this height and we cannot go out any higher.
Only Fang Zheng knew that the essence of this so-called "Goddess Seal" was actually - a gravity well!
Fang Zheng had encountered a similar situation before on the planet Requiem in the Halo world. At that time, a gravity well was installed on the planet where the missionaries were imprisoned. Under the effect of this device, warships without sufficient thrust would not be able to break through the constraints of gravity and head into the universe.
And in the continent of Semlia, the Goddess of the Sky also created a similar thing for some unknown purpose, which is why the people of Semlia couldn't get out no matter how hard they tried.
Well, from this perspective, it’s not wrong to call it the seal of the goddess.
After all, the purpose of this thing is to prevent people from going out.
But the Goddess of the Sky can only take care of Semlia, but not Fang Zheng.
Of course he could come in and go out as he pleased.
"Look how tiny it is."
Looking at the planet in front of him, Fang Zheng chuckled and completely ignored Mariabell's question. He just narrowed his eyes and looked at her with a mocking expression.
"This is what you call the earth. The world is nothing more than this, so small and not worth mentioning."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng tapped a few times on the keyboard, and then the battleship gradually turned and locked onto a planet next to Semlia.
"You seem to have no impression of this planet, so I'll introduce it to you. This is the moon you see on Semlia."
"Why?"
“Is this the moon?”
This time, Arios's reaction was greater than Mariabell's.
"How is that possible? Isn't the moon silvery white?!"
“…”
Teaching medieval people to be illiterate was a problem.
Fang Zheng was too lazy to answer such a stupid question. His fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard. Then, a cold artificial intelligence electronic voice rang out in the empty bridge.
"Received the destruction order, the Blizzard is locking onto the target - the target has been locked, and charging has begun. Prepare to charge. Thirty seconds countdown, twenty-nine, twenty-eight, twenty-seven, twenty-six, twenty-five..."
Arios and Mariabell didn't know what the countdown was for, but they seemed to have sensed some ominous premonition, and they both closed their mouths involuntarily and stared at the planet in front of them.
"Five...four...three...two...one..."
Finally, the countdown ended.
The next moment, a bright red beam suddenly appeared, shooting out from the front of the warship and directly into the planet. This red beam seemed endless, with no sign of disappearing. Gradually, under the bombardment of the beam, the two saw cracks appearing on the surface of the pale planet. It was like a glass bead that was constantly hit and gradually broke, and finally...
A flash of light.
Without any sound, under the dazzling light, the planet completely shattered and split in front of the two people, turning into a pile of incomplete fragments.
"Three minutes and fifty seconds."
Fang Zheng checked his watch, then turned his head with a half-smile and looked at Mariabell, who was standing with her mouth wide open and not saying a word.
"A brand new god that rules the world and the earth? A thousand-year obsession? What a foolish mortal wisdom. Your so-called obsession and ideals are nothing in the face of real power. It only takes me three minutes and fifty seconds to destroy Semria, but you are fighting for such a tiny bit of meaningless power on a small stone. Hmm... It's really ridiculous in my opinion."
“…”
Maria Bell didn't say anything. She just stared blankly at the shattered planet and starry sky in front of her. Her eyes, which seemed to be burning with flames, had completely lost their brightness and spirit. She looked lifeless, like a corpse. Fang Zheng snorted, and the next moment, the tentacles once again wrapped around Maria Bell, pulling her into the shadows.
Then Fang Zheng withdrew his gaze and looked forward again.
"Okay, the show is over. It's almost time to restore this planet to its original state. Otherwise, it will be quite troublesome without the moon."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised his hand again and snapped his fingers. Then time began to go back. Soon, the planet that had been blown into pieces was reassembled as if it was rewound, and returned to its original appearance.
“…”
Seeing this, Arios took a breath and looked at Fang Zheng.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, who are you?"
Originally, Arios didn't care much about this question, but now, after seeing everything Fang Zheng did, he felt that he must get an answer.
"What do you think?"
"Although it's unlikely, could it be that you are the Goddess of the Sky..."
"Do I look like a woman to you?"
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes when he heard Arios's answer.
"Uh... this..."
"Forget it, don't guess anymore. Let me put it this way. Your Sky Goddess and I should be considered colleagues."
"...colleagues?"
"That's right, just like you guerrillas, although you don't know each other, you all belong to the guerrilla association. When you meet each other, you can confirm each other's identity by showing your guerrilla badge. It's almost the same for us. Your world is under the jurisdiction of the Goddess of the Sky, and I... I came here for something. You can just treat me as a newcomer who is on a business trip to other regions of the guerrilla association."
"Well……"
Faced with Fang Zheng's down-to-earth answer, Arios didn't know what to say for a moment.
"So, why did you come to our world?"
"Because there's a problem here, I came to investigate. As for the details... I can't tell you yet, but it's related to the Goddess of the Sky."
Fang Zheng's words were not made up. After exploring the history of the continent of Semlia, Fang Zheng discovered a problem.
In the mythology of Semria, it is said that the goddess of the sky, Edes, created and bestowed seven treasures on mankind, but the abuse of the seven treasures by mankind eventually led to the "Great Collapse". Then, after a long period of darkness, the Church of the Seven Lights once again led mankind out of darkness and chaos and laid the foundation for the present.
But there is one question that remains unanswered.
Is that why the Goddess of the Sky gave the Seven Treasures to humans?
It can't be as simple as giving it to you because it's your birthday and you want a birthday present.
Fang Zheng had also heard from the Goddess of Order about the teaching method of the Order Clan. The Order Clan advocated gradual change and evolution, that is, they always followed this rule when facing their creations. However, the Goddess of Sky's approach was like giving the apes high-energy particle weapons directly during the primitive tribal civilization period, which was completely incomprehensible.
Of course, Fang Zheng could guess some reasons. It was very likely that because of the chaos waves, the goddess of the sky in this world created seven treasures containing the power of order to protect humans and gave them to humans. But in the end, humans still got out of control and ushered in the Dark Ages. However, after the Dark Ages, the continent of Semlia has been reborn.
But the question is... where is the Goddess of the Sky?
Legends record that the Goddess of the Sky gave the Seven Treasures to humans, which means that the goddess was still there at the time, but after the Great Collapse, the goddess disappeared... or in other words, after giving the treasures to humans, the goddess disappeared. Even when humans used the Seven Treasures to commit suicide, they could not see her. It was not until the dark age after the Great Collapse that the Seven Lights Church rose again under the banner of the Goddess of the Sky, saving the civilization of the continent of Semria and ushering in a new era.
Then there are two possibilities.
First, the Goddess of the Sky did not survive the waves of chaos and was doomed. The Church of the Seven Lights in the Dark Ages was just a wolf in sheep's clothing and completely treated the Goddess of the Sky as a spiritual belief.
Second, the Goddess of the Sky survived the waves of chaos, but she also suffered serious damage, just like the Goddess of Order. Even if she didn't leave a head, she probably didn't have much energy and spirit, so she had to use this method to establish the Church of the Seven Stars and strive to protect the remaining Semlia civilization.
Fang Zheng originally hoped to get some information and data from Kuroyis. After all, their ancestors also inherited the existence of the Phantom Treasure, and perhaps they could leave a few words about the goddess. As a result, Fang Zheng flipped through a lot of information, and even checked the memories of Maria Bell and Dita, but found that they knew nothing about it. As for the reason why the goddess gave the ancestor the Phantom Treasure, it was just a conventional scene like "my ancestor was so awesome that he won the favor of the goddess", which was of no reference value.
This is not surprising. After all, more than a thousand years have passed, and any useful data and information would have probably disappeared long ago.
Forget it, I’ll figure out a solution to the goddess issue later.
Fang Zheng shook his head and collected his thoughts.
At present, it is most important to build your own divine domain first.
