Chapter 391: Heart of Elements
For safety reasons, Lu Yao called in the Blood Knight nearby.
Navid is able to carry and fight, and even if he clashes with the evil god who may survive, he can withstand the first wave of damage.
The Blood Knight entered the sea under the guidance of the Man-eating Crab.
He sank straight down into the water, walked on the seabed, entered from a bubbling hole in the western trench, and arrived at a hollow underwater crevice.
There is a giant ball stuck here, its surface is covered with algae and crustaceans. There are very regular square stone steps at the bottom of the stone ball, indicating that it is a man-made building rather than a natural formation.
There was an uneven hole on the top of the stone ball, and strings of bubbles rushed up through the crack, making Lu Yao think of a large eggshell that had been cracked open.
"Lord Blood Knight, this is the temple and the statue is inside." said Ship Whale Rambo.
It retains the basic shape of a steamship, floating quietly underwater, except for two eyes appearing on both sides of the ship's hull and circular bubbles emitting from the chimney on top of its head.
Lu Yao moved the mouse to the stone ball at the bottom of the water.
…
[Broken Round Tower]
…
Lu Yao fixed his view on the Blood Knight and entered the sphere with him.
As Navid jumped into the cave, the scene suddenly changed, and everything around him turned into a fluorescent light blue.
The most eye-catching position in the middle of the ball is a stone statue.
The stone statue has twelve outstretched long arms, some of which are flexible tentacles, some are sharp claws, some are hard spikes, and some are weird chelicerae... It looks really weird.
It has no head, but has a broad, strong body, and its legs are integrated into the ground like tree roots.
The stone statue is in a kneeling position, and each of its arms is locked with chains. These stone chains are connected to the walls of the temple, as if asking the statue to confess its sin or accept punishment.
Lu Yao used the [Eye of True Vision] to examine the statue, but only got vague entries.
…
【Unknown statue】
…
Just ordinary sculpture.
The Blood Knight stared at the statue, holding a greatsword, as if he regarded it as an imaginary enemy. Navid continued to do what he was best at, ready to participate in the battle at any time and keeping a warrior's vigilance.
Lu Yao found a clue.
There were huge white clay tablets on the floor of the temple, with words emerging from them under the Eye of True Vision.
"Betrayer and Forsaken, we despise your existence."
"…At that time, there were no gods, and everything went its own way. The first walker was born, ushering in the first change of the Chaos Era."
"Our ancestors walked between water and earth, towering above all living things. They controlled everything and found the world stone floating in the depths. The world stone that had not yet been integrated into all things became an unprecedented power. We searched for the world stone and controlled the original world."
"…In that still chaotic and long era of chaos, our ancestors patiently completed a great feat and built the first wonder, the Sacred Round Tower, with the World Stone. The round tower gave birth to the world's first and most precious treasure, which is a ladder and will that transcends the mundane world, and an immortal thing that cannot be destroyed by the power of rules, the Heart of the Elements."
"Our ancestors gave us a meaning and a name. From now on, our clan will live forever in the world under the name of [Sea Walker]."
…
Lu Yao read it line by line and finally completed the incomplete history of this fragmented world.
This is a young, ownerless world.
The entire world appeared to be in a sticky, pasty state, and during this earliest period, the Sea Walkers learned to move and walk in the mud, and began to consciously collect Worldstones.
They used the World Stone to build the original [Sacred Round Tower], and from this wonder a treasure [Heart of Elements] was born, which was regarded as the heart of God.
The seabed walkers clearly felt that the Heart of Elements itself was continuing to grow and change, and had incredible growth potential.
As long as the sacred round tower is continuously reinforced and expanded, the elemental hearts inside will thrive.
They firmly believed that it would become a god that towered over the world.
The sea walkers do not want to become gods through this, their goal is to cultivate a god. If they can give birth to the first god, they can also cultivate the second and third.
This is the ambition of the Sea Walker.
As time passed, the Sacred Round Tower became taller and taller, and the Elemental Heart inside began to beat and dance like a living thing, its shape constantly stretching and expanding.
But in front of the sea walkers, the Heart of Elements behaved very obediently. When they told it to move, it moved, and when they told it to stay still, it stayed still.
This made the original rulers more satisfied and motivated.
However, during a change of eras, the entire turbid world underwent a huge shock, and the evolution of various elements intensified. No longer becoming as inert and slow as in the past, the entire world was accelerating.
Against this backdrop, creatures formed from various elements began to try to snatch the World Stone, and feeding and growth stimulated the aggressiveness of all life.
The sea walkers used the treasures born from the Holy Round Tower to drive away and kill groups of challengers, piling their corpses into a death border to warn other challengers.
The killing treasures stored in the round tower carry the remaining traces of life and broken ghosts. They are part of the power of rules, and all of them are absorbed by the Heart of Elements.
One day, the sacred round tower suddenly began to twist violently, and the omnipotent stones stuck together, pulling out a strange-looking multi-armed giant.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The giant had no head and there was a gap on his neck, as if his head was broken. He had twelve strange arms of different shapes.
The grotesque and terrifying giant makes the sea walkers very happy.
Because the long gestation finally bore fruit.
This is God! God created by the Sea Walker!
It is the child of the Seabed Walker and the future master of this world. It will conquer everything that exists and become a being that dominates the world!
However, this giant born from the Heart of Elements did not obey the orders as the Sea Walker had expected.
It showed great disgust towards the sea walkers and even refused to approach them, believing them to be primitive and barbaric fish with feet, and prohibited them from coming ashore and expanding.
Many years later, the Sea Walkers realized that the young creature they had raised for many years was deeply affected by the killing treasures.
The shape of the headless giant is the final appearance of those dead people, and its twelve arms are the remains of the twelve most numerous groups of corpses among the piled up corpses.
This is how the [Dyke Builders] were born.
The palms of the twelve arms of the dike builder were molded into twelve original clay figures by it, and began to be used to stabilize the earth. It separated the land from the sea and reshaped the entire world.
However, up to this point, the Dam Builder was still not a god, but an unprecedentedly powerful monster. It could gain power from any element in this world and possessed a power that was close to immortality.
In fact, the Sea Walkers were a doubly failure. They neither gave birth to a strong and proud child, nor did they find a true way to become gods.
The dam builders have no divinity and are not gods.
The whole world is constantly evolving and the dam builders have witnessed tremendous changes. The once ignorant and inferior life forms have gradually learned to stagger, have stable forms and characteristics, and have learned to protect themselves and hide their tracks.
At a certain era, a black mark that had never been seen before suddenly appeared on the earth. This mark was like some kind of huge footprint, slowly passing across the ground.
The builders of the dike curiously and carefully followed the footprints, trying to find the invisible visitor.
After the black footprints traveled all over the world, a flying star appeared in the sky. It kept circling the world, flashing brightly and emitting amazing power.
The dike builder spent a lot of time and finally succeeded in picking the scorching star and holding it firmly in his hand.
That is a true godhead.
The dike builder merged with this divine nature and became the only god in the world.
The sea walkers in the water witnessed everything.
"…The Dark God bestowed his godhood upon the Dam Builder, and from then on the Dam Builder became a god. However, the Dark God also marked its foolishness, and sowed the seeds of its destruction."
Seeing this, Lu Yao couldn't help but sigh.
Fishing with godhood? The Dark God is good at it.
He has so much experience and means that the young dam builders cannot beat him.
