Dorothy fell from the sky and slowly stood on the huge platform. Then she slowly walked towards the corpse on the stone chair in front of her, step by step.
Just as Dorothy officially approached the corpse and was about to observe it carefully, a voice suddenly sounded in the empty space.
"You are finally here, the foresight person..."
Qianxun:?Free?Novel,!裙:??;2:."?5"5:5?9";5."!3;0:??0 This was an ethereal and mysterious female voice that sounded without any warning in the space. What she said was a language that Dorothy had never heard of before, but she could understand it inexplicably.
"Who are you?" Dorothy was startled after hearing the female voice. Then she immediately spoke in a serious tone and looked around. At this time, the voice sounded again.
"I am... the gravekeeper of lost history, the one who maintains the divine will and stores knowledge... I am the decayed and withered corpse in front of you that has gone through time..."
"You are... the highest priest of the Judge of Heaven, the Heavenly Sage of the First Dynasty?!" Hearing the voice's answer, Dorothy suddenly looked at the corpse in front of her and said with a surprised look.
"Yes... I am the last divine inspirer of the Holy Dynasty of the First Manifestation. I have been waiting for your arrival and foreseeing someone." The voice sounded again, responding to Dorothy's words, and Dorothy spoke again with a serious expression.
"You asked me to foresee someone. Could it be that you used your prophetic ability to foresee my arrival?"
"No, it was not me who foresaw you, but the Divine Master. Under His revelation, Shepsuna and I also foresaw your existence in different places. Therefore, after the disaster, I have been waiting for you..." The voice continued to echo in Dorothy's ears from the space. Dorothy frowned even deeper after hearing it.
"The Judge of Heaven foresaw my arrival. Can He foresee things so far in the future? Since He foresaw that I would come here, didn't He also foresee the fall of the First Dynasty?" Dorothy continued to speak seriously to the Sage of Heaven, and the other party immediately answered.
"Don't question the power of the Divine Master. What the Divine Master foresaw is far more than what we foresaw. He not only foresaw your arrival, but also foresaw the collapse of dynasties, the fall of civilizations, the disputes among gods, the invasion of madness, the rise of glory... and even his own fall..."
"The Judge of Heaven... foresaw his own fall..." Dorothy couldn't help but open her eyes wide and spoke slowly after listening to the words of the Sage of Heaven, and then she couldn't help but speak again.
"If it can be foreseen, why does it still happen? Didn't the Heavenly Judge try to change his own destiny?"
"If fate can be easily changed, it is not called fate." The sage of heaven said lightly, but Dorothy asked further.
"Even God cannot change his own destiny? Shouldn't He be sitting on the top of the sky, ruling over everything in the world? Shouldn't they be the masters of fate?"
"People have their own destiny, and God has His own destiny. God can control people's destiny at will, but this does not mean that He can completely control His own destiny. This is the content contained in the revelation given to me by the Divine Master himself..." The Sage of Heaven continued to respond to Dorothy calmly, and Dorothy continued to ask sternly.
"You mean... the Heavenly Judge was destined to die, and He knew it. Didn't He resist? Didn't He do anything?"
Dorothy asked this question to the ancient being in front of her, and after a slight pause, the other party slowly answered.
"Among all the gods, no one knows and controls fate better than the God Master. What I can confirm is that the God Master has always been making some arrangements and deployments for what he feels is fate. I don't know whether He is trying to fight against it or to make up for it. I only know that in the end, the God Master still fell. I don't know whether this is the helpless result after He failed in the struggle, or His own choice.
"However, the Divine Master had foreseen his own demise, and before his demise, He secretly asked us to make certain preparations, including asking me to hide the entire holy land in the history, and inducing Hafdal and others to secretly prepare for the conversion ceremony. Before the fall of the dynasty, Hafdal had believed for a long time that he was doing taboo and blasphemous research, but in fact, this was the result of my secret guidance and induction under the revelation of the Divine Master..." The Sage of Heavenly Order said this to Dorothy. Hearing her words, Dorothy continued to ask with a serious expression.
"Why did the First Dynasty fall?"
"The Holy Dynasty was destroyed by a secondary disaster of unprecedented scale caused by the death of the Divine Master. When the Divine Master died, this disaster appeared from the world of consciousness and gushed down, spreading to the world of reality, and occurred from every inch of the sky above the Holy Dynasty. It destroyed everything that the Holy Dynasty had accumulated for thousands of years in various forms.
“However, due to the foresight of the Divine Master, I had already issued various policies before the disaster occurred, which transported as many ordinary people as possible who could escape to the colonies in the northern continent. This can be regarded as barely alleviating the losses caused by the disaster. But even so, it still could not prevent the Holy Dynasty from being completely destroyed in the disaster.
"Because the Holy Dynasty was founded on the Divine Master, there were traces of the Divine Master everywhere. When the disaster came, these traces became the origin of the disaster. The scriptures turned into evil texts, the statues turned into monsters, the altars emitted nonsense and drove people crazy, and filthy, mutated and vicious knowledge poured out from all traces of the Divine Master, poisoning all living things around. All the followers of "Enlightenment" died and mutated because of the information in their brains and their own spiritual mutations. Except for the shelters I specially arranged in the colonies, every inch of the Holy Dynasty was not spared from the disaster.
"Our civilization, the first civilization built by humans, was completely destroyed in the chaos and turmoil. Although there were sparks left, they were carefully wiped out by my divine masters and the traces of the Holy Dynasty. They could continue the human race, but they could not continue the Holy Dynasty...Except for these people in the shelter, only a very small number of people barely escaped this destruction for various reasons."
The Heavenly Sage said this to Dorothy in a light tone, and Dorothy was stunned on the spot after hearing it.
"You mean, the emergence of the Poison Identifier originated from the fall of the Heavenly Judge? The fall of the First Dynasty was also due to the sudden appearance and spread of the Poison Identifier?"
Dorothy asked the Heavenly Sage this question, and the other party was silent for a while, as if he agreed with Dorothy's words.
“You just said… because of the invasion of the Poison Identifiers, almost all the followers of Enlightenment in the First Dynasty either died or mutated. These followers of Enlightenment must be the Beyonders of Enlightenment. The reason why you induced the four pharaohs to study the transformation ritual and transform was to be able to escape from the path of Enlightenment and avoid being affected when the disaster of the Fall occurred. What about you? As the one with the closest relationship to the Judge of Heaven, why weren’t you affected…”
Dorothy asked the Heavenly Sage in front of her, and the Heavenly Sage answered slowly and calmly.
"Because... I have divinity in my body that was given to me by the divine master after it was cut and processed personally. I relied on this divinity and performed a ritual at the cost of my own life to separate the entire sanctuary from the present world and seal it deep in history to avoid the impact of the disaster."
The Sage of Heaven said this. After listening to her words, Dorothy finally understood the cause of the virtual history world.
The virtual history world was created by the Sage of Heaven's Order relying on the divinity of the Judge of Heaven. The original intention was to hide himself and the Holy Land of "Qi" so that they could avoid the disaster caused by the fall of the Judge of Heaven.
"So... you are dead now?" Dorothy asked after listening to the words of the Heavenly Sage, and the other party responded quickly.
"Yes, I am already dead. The one who is talking to you now is just a trace of my consciousness that survived the ritual. I am not even a ghost."
"Why do you have to go to such lengths? You can use the transformation ritual to become a spirit to avoid the disaster. At least in the form of a spirit, you can move more freely and be more powerful. Are you doing this to preserve the sanctuary?"
Dorothy continued to ask the Heavenly Sage earnestly, and after a moment of silence, the other party continued to speak.
"Saving the sanctuary is only one aspect. What's more important is that it's because of you."
"Me?" Dorothy spoke with some surprise after listening to the words of the Sage of Heaven. She didn't understand why the choice made by the person in front of her seven thousand years ago would affect her.
"Foresight, I want to hear what your purpose is in coming here after going through so much hardship?" The ethereal female voice of the Heavenly Sage continued to echo in the air. Dorothy paused slightly after listening to it, then looked seriously at the withered corpse on the stone chair in front of her and said.
"I came here to seek knowledge, to seek the path of pure reason, to advance to the golden level of ritual knowledge..."
"Huh... That's right..." After listening to Dorothy's words, the Heavenly Sage heaved a sigh of relief and said, and just when Dorothy's eyes showed a hint of confusion, the Heavenly Sage spoke again.
"The path of pure reason is the closest to the extraordinary path of the Divine Master. Its ritual of advancement to the original realm cannot be recorded in any book, on any stone slab, on any wood carving, or in any clay sculpture.
"No information carrier of any form, no matter if it is extraordinary or not, can record the path to the Heavenly Order Sage's ceremony. The Heavenly Order Sage's promotion ceremony can only be known through revelation by the Divine Master himself, or taught in person by the previous Heavenly Order Sage."
The priest of Heaven's Judge finally said this to Dorothy. Dorothy's eyes widened slightly after hearing this, and then she said bluntly.
"So, this is why you don't want to become a dead soul? You... need to retain your identity as a divine saint?"
“Yes, once I become an undead, my identity as the Heavenly Sage will naturally leave me. In my mind, the knowledge about the promotion ceremony will disappear in an instant, and I will not be able to teach you how to become the next Heavenly Sage.
"In addition, there is another very important point. If I were a dead spirit, I would not be able to bear the divine power given to me by the Master. Now this power is still preserved in my body. This is the greatest legacy left by the Master in this world, and it will also be passed on to you through me..."
