"A humanoid beast named 'Chu'."

"The current initial strength is unknown, but it is estimated to be above nine stars."

"When Fiorina, the Dean of the Phantom God Department, who was the target of the strength comparison, stood in front of this phantom beast for the first time, she felt a strong sense of danger deep in her body and had the urge to run away immediately."

"This is the instinctive warning of her awakened Valkyrie combat body. It means that the current creature has a strength far beyond hers and is extremely dangerous."

"At the same time, when the 'Phantom Beast' descended, all the Phantom Beasts with King-level and Emperor-level potential knelt down in awe. The identity of the King of Phantom Beasts was confirmed without a doubt."

"The positive life force emanating from this mythical beast is strong and 99% similar to that of humans. The fluctuations should come from the contractor, Amitia. The contract has been concluded correctly."

"At the same time, when entering the core area of ​​the academy, the Phantom God Department's Disaster Pearl did not react, ruling out the possibility of an invasion by alien creatures..."

In the spacious and simple office, the white-haired woman looked carefully at the documents in her hands, especially the conclusion notes at the back.

Opposite her, Fiorina, who had changed into a purple dress, was sitting on a chair, enjoying a glass of red wine in her hand.

After a long while, the dean opposite, Carman Linton, put down the documents and sighed: "I didn't expect that your Illusionary God Department would give such a big surprise this year."

Fiorina rolled her eyes. "Looking back now, of course it's a surprise, but at the time it scared me."

Fiorina couldn't help but cross her legs as she spoke, feeling happy: "But if this power can be cultivated, it should be able to penetrate the evil god's underground palace deep in the maze."

“Haha… By then, my Illusionary God Department will once again be famous throughout the continent and will regain its glory.”

Looking at the red-haired beauty who couldn't help laughing and happily planning for the future, Carmanlinton shook his head and reminded her: "It's not that simple, Fiorina."

"In the past two years, a large number of heroes have gone deep into the maze. Although the monsters on the upper floors have been cleared and the exploration has reached the 55th floor underground, the casualties are several times that of previous years."

"We've only cleaned up to the 55th floor." Fiorina was a little surprised.

Carmanlinton nodded seriously: "Yes, we have only explored to the 55th floor. The reason is that there are too many monsters breeding under the maze, and we can't kill them all."

"Every time the main force of the exploration team returns to the surface, the cleared area will be reoccupied by monsters and need to be redeveloped."

"So next I plan to use the academy's Valkyries as the main force, gather brave men to form an elite adventure team, and go deep into the lowest level of the maze in one go."

"Let's see what the evil gods lurking deep underground look like and what kind of power they possess, so that we can forge Valkyrie weapons in a targeted manner."

"It just so happens that the Valkyrie students in your Illusionary God Department this year have amazing potential. They can join the exploration team when the time comes."

"First, it can train these students' minds and accumulate experience in fighting in underground mazes and monsters. Second, it can help those fantasy beasts grow quickly."

"Okay." Fiorina nodded.

"By the way, what is the king of the mythical beasts doing now?"

"I'm reading."

"Reading?" Carmanlinton was stunned.

…………

On the second floor of the spiral library, Chen Chu sat quietly in a corner, with hundreds of books covering various topics piled up like a small hill beside him.

As for the purpose, it is naturally to understand this world.

It was half a day after Chen Chu arrived. Amitia had recovered a little, so Chen Chu asked her to lead the way to the library.

Without using his spiritual will, Chen Chu still had a photographic memory, and his eyes were comparable to laser scanning.

According to the annals of civilization, this is a large world called Cecilus, where recorded human history can be traced back more than 400,000 years.

This time is even longer than the ancient civilization that left the Blue Star World.

More than 400,000 years ago, this world had no humans and no civilization. It was occupied by countless huge creatures and was filled with a wild atmosphere.

Until one day, the Eternal God came.

Since then, human beings appeared and civilization evolved.

"Eternity, Heng!"

Chen Chu, who was holding a one-meter-high and half-meter-thick book, narrowed his eyes slightly and his gaze fell on the blurred pictures and text at the beginning of the page.

Because at the end of the road to becoming a god, he obtained the rudiments of the rules left by Heng, one of the emperors of the ancient civilization, so Chen Chu was more sensitive to the word Heng. Therefore, when he saw that the source of this world civilization came from an alien god named Yongheng, he subconsciously thought of the ancient emperor Heng.

But more than 10,000 years ago, this ancient emperor suddenly disappeared and never appeared again.

Coupled with the human beings that appeared out of nowhere in this world hundreds of thousands of years ago, all signs point to the ancient emperor Heng, who was once the strongest person in ancient civilization.

As for the time problem that one disappeared more than 10,000 years ago and the other has appeared hundreds of thousands of years ago, it is also easy to explain because the speed of time flows is different.

The flow of time in this world is dozens of times faster than that in the mythological world.

Next, as long as he can verify this problem, Chen Chu will be 80% sure whether the eternal god is Heng.

"I didn't expect to find traces of Heng here." Chen Chu showed a faint smile on his face, and then scanned the books at a faster speed.

Suddenly, the sound of turning pages could be heard in the library.

Looking at Chen Chu who finished flipping through one book in the blink of an eye and took another, the purple-haired girl sitting opposite him couldn't help but show curiosity, wondering what he was looking for.

Of course, the fact that 'Fantasy Beast' wanted to read a book was already surprising, but it seemed normal that he just flipped through it for fun because he couldn't concentrate on it.

Ha... Emmitia yawned. Her mental strength had not recovered much yet, so she felt a little sleepy and fell asleep on the table.

With Chen Chu's "reading" speed, he quickly finished reading the hundreds of books in front of him and had a complete understanding of the world.

More than 400,000 years ago, not long after the creation of the world, the Eternal God disappeared.

Because of the guidance of the Eternal God, the first era of human civilization in this world quickly developed to its peak, and then went towards destruction, and even destroyed the world.

Then humans rebuilt their civilization in the ruins, splitting and reuniting, and went through seven eras, until they arrived at the current eighth Valkyrie Era.

The current world is divided into three continents and nine oceans.

However, among the three continents, only Dongyun Continent belongs to the human race. Six empires, dozens of kingdoms and more than a hundred principalities have been established with world trees as the center.

The other two continents and a large number of islands in the sea were occupied by evil creatures and monsters that emerged from the ground.

At the same time, the power system of this world is very strange.

Unlike cultivation in the conventional sense, the power comes entirely from God.

Killing the monsters in the underground maze will gain the gifts of heaven and earth, including power, extraordinary materials, and realm advancement, including magical weapons.

Even if you kill the evil god, you can gain some of his power and become a legendary hero comparable to powerful gods.

A simple analogy is to kill monsters and level up.

This setting, which was similar to that of a game, made Chen Chu a little confused.

However, the Chaos Sea gave birth to countless worlds, countless civilized races, and countless powerful people, so the emergence of one or two strange power systems is barely acceptable.

As for why it is called the Age of Valkyries, it is because the strongest people in this world are all Valkyries.

I don’t know if it’s because of God’s gift or something else, but the strongest hero in this world can only grow to nine stars, which is roughly equivalent to the ninth heaven.

Only a girl with special talents can use the power of the Valkyrie to break the shackles and become a godslayer above the nine stars.

It is also the main force against the underground maze and the evil gods deep underground.

At the same time, people in this world have a very short lifespan. Even the strongest Valkyrie who has the power to kill the evil god only lives to be 150 years old.

As for those nine-star warriors who are comparable to the ninth-level heaven practitioners, their lifespan is basically around a hundred years.

As for the reason, it should be that their power comes from the gift of heaven and earth, rather than from their own practice step by step to break the shackles of the body and the evolution of life.

Chen Chu did not see any relevant information about the origin of the world he wanted to find, but after knowing the structure of this world, he roughly knew where it was.

The God-given rewards obtained by killing monsters in the maze, those items, extraordinary materials, and equipment, are very likely the origin of the world.
