After weighing the bird-shaped gold ornament in his hand, Klein quickly returned to reality. He randomly picked an open space, set up an altar, and held a sacrificial ceremony.

As for the other secrets hidden in Calderon, the city of the dead, or the "River of Eternal Darkness" and the shadowy figures wandering in it, he had no intention of delving into it for the time being, because he had more important things to do, and he also had a key question he wanted to ask the "Goddess of Night".

Soon, he performed the ceremony, combining the candlelight and spiritual materials to form a "door of sacrifice and gift."

Without hesitation, Klein threw the bird-shaped golden ornament into the wind, and let it pass through the slowly opening mysterious door and disappear into the endless darkness.

The next second, he was keenly aware that he was forcibly dragged into a dream.

At the center of the dream is a Gothic palace that seems to blend into the surrounding darkness. It has exquisite details and dark colors, yet it is gorgeous.

Klein walked through clusters of night-blooming herbs and deep-sleeping flowers and entered the palace.

At the deepest part of the hall, the "Goddess of Night" sat on an ancient high-back chair, still wearing the layered yet simple black dress.

The bright dots on the long skirt reflect the brilliance on the palace dome, walls and columns, creating a quiet and dreamy starry sky.

The "Goddess of Night", whose face seemed to be covered with layers of gauze, slowly stood up with the bird-shaped gold ornament, walked down the stairs, and came in front of Klein.

His voice sounded like a serenade:

"What do you want to ask?"

Klein politely took off his hat and bowed slightly.

"I want to know if the gray mist covering the 'Eternal Darkness River' is related to the 'Lord of Mysteries'."

That is to say, "Fushengxuanhuang Tianzun".

Although the head of the Night Goddess was not clearly visible, Klein intuitively felt that She seemed to smile:

"Yes, and not only the 'Eternal Darkness River' is shrouded in gray-white fog, but also the city behind the door of Bansi Port and the entire Western Continent are shrouded in gray-white fog."

Klein hesitated and said:

"Is this a seal?"

The dream projection of the "Goddess of Night" nodded and said:

"Yes, except for 'Source Castle' and 'Chaos Sea', all other source substances have been sealed in the Western Continent by the 'Lord of Mysteries'."

The "River of Eternal Darkness", "The Mother Nest", "City of Disaster", "World of Shadows", "Land of Disorder", "Wild Knowledge" and "Key of Light" were all sealed by "Tianzun" to the Western Continent? Is this too much? What a big deal... No wonder the city behind the door in Bansi Port is like the former Magic City... Is this because "City of Disaster" has affected the real city and Bansi, and then, to some extent, has also undergone certain changes because of them? Klein was surprised and amazed.

When he saw the scene behind the door in Bansi before, he suspected that it was related to the Western Continent. Based on the clue that Bansi was the home of the "Red Angel" Medici family, he suspected that behind the door was a reflection of the source of "City of Disaster".

After a moment of silence, Klein did not hide his feelings and sighed frankly:

"The power of the 'Lord of Mysteries' is beyond my imagination...

"How could such an Old One who could be called the pillar of the universe fall without a sound?"

The dream projection of the "Goddess of Night" shook her head:

“It’s not silent.

“From some clues we have now, we can infer that He fell together with the ‘God’ from ancient times.

"The remains of that 'God' formed the first 'blasphemous slab' in the 'Sea of ​​Chaos'. Next to the slab is the uniqueness of the 'thief's' path."

In other words, in the middle of the First Epoch, the "Lord of Mysteries" and the "God" had an extremely fierce but quiet battle, and both of them died in the end? This can explain why the ancient sun god possessed or herded the uniqueness of the "thief" path when he walked out of the "Sea of ​​Chaos". It was torn from the "Lord of Mysteries" by the "God" in ancient times... Klein asked with a little confusion as his thoughts were in a mess:

"Why do they want to kill each other? As both are pillars and belong to different paths, there shouldn't be any conflict that cannot be resolved by a life-and-death struggle."

The dream projection of the "Goddess of Night" spoke softly and soothingly:

“Convergence is instinctive.

“The higher the level, the stronger the instinct.

"The 'Lord of Mysteries' and the 'God' of ancient times both have the instinct to irresistibly reunite and become the embodiment of the entire universe, that is, the original creator."

The stronger he is, the crazier he becomes? Besides being cunning, powerful, terrifying, and full of wisdom, does “Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun” have this side? Klein thought for a moment and said,

"The 'Lord of Mysteries' and the 'God' of ancient times, in essence, should be different aspects of the original Creator?"

The dream projection of the "Goddess of Night" said in a soothing voice:

“It might be more accurate to use the metaphor of different personalities of the same being.

“The original creator is the creator and the end of the universe, the day and the night, the divine light and the abyss of depravity, and the aggregation of all contradictory concepts and symbols.

“Therefore, He naturally has an uncontrollable tendency to split, and once split, He will have a strong tendency to gather.

“In a history that is even older than the era we once lived in, the sleeping Prime Creator had already naturally split into multiple personalities. These personalities were also in a sleeping state, but they began to use the authority and extraordinary characteristics they controlled to indirectly influence the world, making a lot of preparations for the real splitting of the Prime Creator after he awakened.

"Among them, the most powerful and active ones are 'God' and 'Lord of Mysteries'. The latter has another honorific name in the Western Continent.

“In the early to middle period of the First Age, they must have mastered additional, multiple essences through different methods, which made their instinct to gather even stronger, to the point where they could not control themselves and took actions against each other.

"According to the research of 'Ancient Sun God', the pillar is the highest level at which the state can be stable. If the Old Ones exceed this limit, even if they only contain one more source substance, they will inevitably be controlled by the instinct of aggregation and cannot be reversed.

"No one knows the details of that battle, not even the Seven Lights of the Spirit Realm. We only know that after that, the two Old Ones who could be called pillars completely disappeared, and the rest of the source material outside of the Chaos Sea and Sefirah Castle was sealed by the power of Sefirah Castle to the Western Continent - the area once ruled by the Lord of Mysteries.

"This arrangement leads to a problem. Before the Lord of Mysteries and God reappear and lift and break the seal of the Western Continent, no Sequence 0 in this world can become an Old One and fight against the Outer Gods.

"As the end of the world draws closer, this problem forces all true gods to cultivate a 'Lord of Mysteries' or 'God', and the previous 'Lord of Mysteries' and 'God' are very likely to awaken in their bodies."

This... So, the sealing of the remaining essences was done intentionally by the "Heavenly Lord" to prevent the future Sequence 0 True Gods from deliberately avoiding the path they were on and strangling the birth of a new "Lord of Mysteries"? And as long as a new "Lord of Mysteries" is born, there is a high probability that He will be resurrected and fully awakened... Isn't this too insidious and too much? To a certain extent, such an arrangement is not afraid of being known by others. The more people know about it, the more inclined they will be to support a "Lord of Mysteries" as soon as possible, lest they only have a few years left to control their respective essences and fail to become the old ones... The more Klein thought about it, the more he felt that the "Fusheng Xuanhuang Heavenly Lord" was extremely terrifying.

This made him sigh in his heart:

"As expected of the pillar-level Old One who caused the 'Djinn' to fall into this situation..."

Klein then asked:

"Then why didn't they support a 'Lord of Mysteries' in the Fourth Epoch?"

He actually already knew the answer to this question, because as time went by, the will of "Tianzun" and "God", as different personalities of the original creator, was also declining. The closer to the end of the world, the weaker the corresponding will, and the more likely the later ones would resist and suppress it, so as not to lose themselves directly.

The fact that Adam waited until recently to be promoted to "Dreamer" is proof of this.

The dream projection of the "Goddess of Night" brought a bit of smile:

"At that time, Amon and Bethel were unwilling to do so. They both hoped to make all kinds of preparations and try again when the end of the world was near.

"Salinger intended to indirectly use the 'River of Eternal Darkness' to integrate the uniqueness of the 'Red Priest' and create a new path of the Old Days. Then, he went crazy and could no longer restrain his desire to combine the 'Dusk' and 'Darkness' paths."

The God of Death was also forced to do nothing. On the one hand, there were only a thousand years left before the end of the world. On the other hand, the River of Eternal Darkness was sealed by the pillar of the Supreme Heaven, and he could not try to control it... Too insidious, too much! Klein couldn't help but criticize the Supreme Heaven again in his heart.

At this time, the dream projection of the "Goddess of Night" continued:

"As time goes by, the seal of the Western Continent is gradually weakening. Those source substances either instinctively or consciously use the uniqueness and high-sequence Beyonder characteristics within their own symbolic range to indirectly erode them and affect the outside world.

"The first to seep out power was the 'Eternal Darkness River', which formed a tributary in the outside world through Gray Carrie in the Second Epoch. Later, in the Fourth Epoch, more source substances began to appear in the North and South Continents and the Five Seas Islands.

"This is an important factor behind many anomalies in the Quaternary Period."

In the Fourth Epoch, there are various source substances that indirectly exert influence through the seal... No wonder Adam said that I don’t know enough about the history of the Fourth Epoch... It seems that Bansi Port retains the customs of the elves. In addition to the fact that it was once an elven settlement, there are additional factors... Klein thought for a few seconds and said with a smile:.

“I think I understand.

"Is this why you've been helping me?"
