Chapter 863 Deadlock
"..."
Listening to Claire's shocking secret, Avis was speechless for a moment.
The amount of information revealed in this passage was too much, so much that even he needed to think over and over again about the secrets contained in every detail.
“If you want to ask why there is no record of that period in history, it was a decision made jointly by the powerful people who remained after the war. Any information related to ‘it’ must be completely erased from this world.
Otherwise, it can descend upon an individual who knows its information at any time and revive in this world again."
Looking at Avis's thoughtful expression, Claire continued to tell him the secrets she knew.
"And in that battle, 'God' followed the final instructions left by the crazy alchemist and used his own divine power to protect all human beings' concepts of existence at all costs, preventing them from being instantly assimilated by 'it's' power.
As the battle ended and the darkness faded, the 'God' eventually fell into a deep sleep due to excessive consumption, and has not fully recovered to this day. That day is also the 'God's Rest Day', an important festival of the Holy Light Church..."
"Wait a mininute."
Looking at the girl in the moonlight, Avis suddenly had a vague inspiration in his mind.
"According to what you said before, the rules of the 'present' world are missing, while the rules of the world in ancient times are complete..."
"In other words, there is actually another reason behind the incompleteness of the world's rules today. Has something happened in history from ancient times to modern times that caused the world's rules to be lost?
Then, such an event would inevitably have a huge impact on the entire world at that time. Even if a strong person erased all traces of information related to it, the world itself would still leave indelible traces..."
As if he was asking the girl a question, or as if he was talking to himself, the inspiration in Avis' mind gradually became clearer.
"The Sky Wall? The Life Forbidden Zone? The Great Rip incident?"
Looking at Avis who was staring at her intently, as if seeking confirmation from her, a hint of surprise flashed across Claire's clear eyes like the icy sea.
"Yes, it seems you have guessed it.
As I said before, this world is a duel arena that is forced to achieve fairness through incomplete rules. Such a duel arena is naturally not formed naturally, but is caused by acquired influences. "
"At the end of the Godfall Era in the ancient golden age, the three legendary races of dragons, Titans and high elves, at the cost of nearly genocide, completely drove away those terrifying dark beings that came with the purple moon and those that remained from the Dark Era and even the Frost Age. They were lost in the gap between reality and illusion.
And with an unprecedented underworld-level secret ritual, they blocked their coordinates for returning to this world, ushering in the beginning of a new generation and also drawing a full stop to the entire ancient golden age."
“But everything has a price.
The launch of the Underworld-level secret ritual needs to rely on the world's own rules to operate.
The high elves used unimaginable power to tear apart a part of the basic rules of this world, and based on it, they built a complete underworld-level wonder seal covering the entire world - [Yunivar's Dream]."
"You mean... the dream world!?"
Hearing this, Avis only felt a buzzing in his mind, and the many scattered pieces of information he had obtained were completely connected together at this moment! "Yes, for you, you usually call it by another name, 'Dream World'.
And what you call the [ceiling wall], strictly speaking, is not a 'wall', but the edge of the external form of the dream world that surrounds this world, just like the relationship between egg yolk and egg white.
The seal, which was constructed by the combined might of the entire high elves, is naturally not something that can be forcibly penetrated by beings below the Legendary level."
Claire nodded to Anvis's surprise.
“Since then, the upper limit of this world’s power has been completely locked at the ninth level, because there is no way forward.
If a being above the ninth level mistakenly enters this world and reveals the complete power of legendary rules, they will be instinctively attracted by the world that lacks some rules and fill in the "rule hole", which is the layer between dreams and reality, where those ancient dark beings are exiled. "
"But, in this case..."
Listening to the girl's words, Avis' brows were tightly furrowed.
As long as you have a little basic understanding of ritual magic, you will understand a rule: if the basic medium on which the ritual relies is removed, the entire ritual will inevitably become ineffective.
Looking at Anvis with a frown on his face, a hint of sympathy flashed in Claire's eyes.
"Yes, you are right. If you want to break through to the legendary level normally, the only way is to destroy the entire dream world and restore the missing part of the world rules to their original position.
Regardless of how you can accomplish this, if you do succeed, it will inevitably cause those dark entities to lose their seals and return to this world.
By that time, even if you break through to the legendary level on the spot, it will be meaningless, because even the weakest among those dark beings have already gone far on the road to legend.
Do you know, Anvis? The 'it' that caused the end of the goblin civilization and the destruction of the ancient magic empire was actually just a part of 'them' in the darkness, a 'child' that accidentally separated from the mother body and lost contact! "
In the eyes of Claire, who has recovered her memory and recalled the hidden truth of ancient times, everything that Avis is facing has become a dead end.
“…”
Listening to Claire's words, Avis couldn't help but fall into a long silence.
In fact, since crossing over to this world, the strongest enemies he has faced are only the [Saints] of the Holy Light Church and the ninth-level extreme prophet [Stargazer].
Relying on his foresight, he maneuvered among countless forces, and eventually he was able to rely on his own wisdom and strength to gradually compete with them.
But now, the enemy in front of him suddenly turned into an ancient dark existence whose strength far exceeded the legend and even easily destroyed the ancient magic empire.
This is not an opponent from the same dimension at all. It's like a mortal who works hard to train and finally stands on the heavyweight boxing ring, and then suddenly finds out that his opponent has become Ultraman.
In fact, because he broke through the "beacon" lit by the ninth-level prophet, this world has already been locked again by them. Even if he does nothing now, those dark beings will gradually return to this world.
"Give up the idea of breaking through the legend. This era is destined to be hopeless."
Gently raising her hand, she combed the golden hair that was fluttering in the night breeze at the edge of the terrace behind her ears. The half-elf girl looked at the dazed boy in front of her, and there was a hint of pity in her tone.
“In fact, I have another way that can make your consciousness fall asleep and travel to a new era in the future.
In the last secret shelter of the star civilization, the last well-preserved [Time Ball] of the current era is sealed.
As long as you abandon your body and place your consciousness on it, you can use its power to penetrate time and space and travel to the next era countless or even hundreds of millions of years later.
By then, the era of darkness should have passed, the rules of the world should have returned to normal, and everything would be fine. "
