Chapter 352: Time Stagnation, Echoes of the Ancient High-Energy War



'Prophecy', 'Waiting'.

These two words made Rosen and others look at each other in bewilderment, feeling a strange sense of fate.

A prophecy that spanned 11,000 years was already very outrageous, so a wizard hid in a Mage Hunter and dormantly waited for this prophecy.

Either a crazy gambler or a confident genius.

There is also a strange detail. This person had clearly traveled through a long time ago, but as soon as she woke up, she immediately learned the language they were using now, and she spoke it without any stiffness, as if it was her mother tongue.

There was nothing mad about her demeanor.

Therefore, she is most likely an extremely extraordinary person.

After a while, Rosen finally asked, "Ma'am, can we know your name?"

"Tila Lilin. Star Eyes."

As she spoke, the woman stood up.

She first looked at her clothes, then raised her hands and feet and did a few stretching exercises, feeling her body recovering. Finally, she took off the gold-rimmed crystal glasses on her face, looked at them carefully, put them back on her face, and then nodded calmly.

"You have recovered well, your clothes are beautiful, especially this pair of glasses, I like them very much."

Without waiting for any questions, she looked at Rosen again and began to introduce herself in detail.

"I am the magic advisor of Safinos, the last emperor of the Dawn Empire, and one of the seven time-perceiving mages of the Imperial Round Table Mage Council."

"My highest duty is to assist the emperor in making the most correct decisions, so as to continue the glory of Dawn to the greatest extent possible."

Having said this, she paused, raised her hand to rub her forehead, and frowned slightly.

"Oh, the long time has greatly damaged my soul and made me lose many details of my memory."

"But it doesn't matter. The clues to my memory are still there. As long as I am given enough time and detailed hints, I will be able to recall it."

At this point, she began to ask, "Sir, what is your name?"

"Rosen Saxon."

After hearing the name, the so-called time-seeing wizard's eyes became dazed and he began to mutter the name.

He looks like a scholar who is completely immersed in his own world.

Nellie whispered, "Your Majesty is absolutely right. This girl has no fighting ability at all."

Belldandy shrugged. "I feel like I can defeat her with just one finger."

Adela showed no disdain: "Scholars wield the power of wisdom, which, in the right environment, is more terrifying than a million legendary warriors!"

On the other side, after repeating it many times, the ancient sage suddenly spoke.

"The name caused a strong vibration in the thread of time, and the fact that it could reach such an intensity means that at least billions of people know this name and have a variety of strong emotions towards it."

She raised her hand to push up her glasses and stared at Rosen.

"Usually only the emperor of an empire has this kind of influence."

“So, you own an empire, right?”

Rosen was more and more surprised by the other party's methods: "That's right."

"Ah~ My prediction has come true once again."

A hint of joy appeared on Tiralilin's face.

"So, your empire has acquired some of the high-powered forces, right?"

“Obviously.”

"very nice!"

The joy turned into a hint of excitement, but the excitement quickly turned into worry.

"But I'm afraid you don't have much time left, because the abyss is about to completely break through the constraints of the time stagnation flow and return to the mainstream of time once again."

"Oh~ Not good. I vaguely feel that there are turbulent waves in the river of time, but my power is greatly restricted."

"I can't see clearly~~I can't see anything clearly."

She was lost in her own thoughts once again.

He clenched his fist with one hand and hit his forehead with some force, making a 'puff puff' sound.

But this action obviously did not help to increase her strength, so she knocked harder and harder, as if trying to force the answer out of her head.

Rosen quickly used the magician's hand to stop the other party's slightly crazy behavior.

"Ms. Tiralilin, don't be too anxious. It won't be too late to wait until your injuries recover."

The worry on Tiralilin's face deepened greatly: "Your Majesty, you are right, but I am afraid there is not enough time."

Rosen immediately asked: "I don't quite understand, can you explain it in detail?"

Tiralilin thought for a moment and said carefully: "The characteristics of time are extremely complex. I will try my best to explain it, but I am not sure if you can understand it."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and made a vague wave in front of her, and a band of light composed of thousands of silk threads appeared in the air in front of her.

"The endless threads of time form a river of time that has no beginning and no end."

"The river flows forward all the way, never looking back, and there is no way to make it turn back."

"But, just like a real river, the speed of water flowing in the river of time is not uniform."

“Some are fast, some are slow.”

"From the perspective of the entire astral realm, the speed difference is huge. In one place, a second may have passed, while in another place, tens of millions of years may have passed."

"Of course, this is the picture of the entire region, and our solar star realm only occupies a very small part of the entire region, so small that it can be ignored."

Having said that, the time traveler adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses again and looked at the four people who were listening in front of him.

Belldandy and Nellie looked confused, Adela seemed to be thinking about something, and Rosen urged: "And then?"

"Then, under normal circumstances, the river of time around our solar star realm has almost a completely consistent flow rate."

Rosen nodded: "We have the same understanding at the moment."

Tiralilin raised her eyebrows, realizing that Rosen understood what she meant, and she spoke faster.

"But through some special high-energy time magic, the speed of time in a local area can be greatly changed."

"We in the Dawn Empire have mastered a spell with similar functions, called Time Stagnation."

"Eleven thousand five hundred years ago, the war between the Empire and the Abyss had lasted for two hundred years."

"Finally, the empire collapsed. On the eve of the collapse, Emperor Safinos gathered all the remaining forces of the empire and cast a plane-level time stasis spell on the three planes controlled by the Abyss."

"Under the influence of this spell, if one year of Abyssal Time passes, one thousand years of Normal Time will pass."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

I was shocked by the great power of the spell, as well as the huge impact brought by the spell effect itself.

Adela whispered, "So, in the eyes of the Abyss, only 11 years have passed since the end of the Imperial War?"

Tiralilin nodded, but corrected herself.

"To be more precise, it's 14 years, because the effect of the spell is gradually weakening, and the speed of time in the abyss is constantly accelerating."

"I estimate that in fifty years at most, the Abyss will be able to break free from its restraints."

Belldandy said: "Fifty years is not a short time."

Tiralilin smiled faintly and said in the tone of an elder to a younger generation: "Child, for an empire that controls high-powered forces, fifty years is just a moment, and it is not even enough to transform a planet."

Belldandi subconsciously refuted, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't say anything to refute, because the other party's knowledge was indeed far beyond hers.

Tiralilin turned to look at Rosen again: "Your Majesty, how long has your empire been exploring the high-energy field?"

“Less than ten years.”

If you calculate it based on the time it takes to build a mature solar core, it's less than six years.

Tiralilin sighed softly, and anxiety appeared on her beautiful face again.

"Then, even if your empire develops at full strength for 50 years, it will not be able to resist the return of the Abyss."

Rosen only believed half of what she said. The other half was not that he suspected she was lying, but that he doubted her ability.

After all, her soul was severely damaged at the moment, and she only had the power of seven rings.

And even if her injuries were fully recovered and her strength returned to its peak, she certainly was not omniscient, otherwise the Dawn Empire would not have fallen.

So, her words are not the truth, but just her personal opinion.

So, he smiled and said, "Ms. Tiralilin, fifty years is not a short time."

"There are countless unexpected situations that may occur during this period, and there are certainly other paths besides the bipolar confrontation."

The real world is not like playing chess. If normal means fail to defeat the opponent, you can always resort to strategy.

After all, the Solar Star Realm is very large and can accommodate high-energy planes.

"So, I think the most important thing for you to do now is to rest."

Tiralilin's brows twitched slightly, and her purple star-like eyes under the exquisite gold-wire crystal glasses looked deeply at Rosen.

"Your Majesty, aren't you worried that the empire will be destroyed by the abyss?"

Rosen smiled faintly: "If worrying is useful, then I will immediately issue an order to let everyone in the empire worry with me, but this is obviously not the right way to solve the problem."

Tiralilin nodded slowly: "You are right, but my physical condition is still good now, and I don't need to rest for the time being."

"So, why don't you tell me about the current situation in the star world?"

It's simple.

But Rosen had been busy for more than ten hours and was too lazy to say anything more, so he signaled Adela to do it, while he used Transfiguration to create a few stone chairs for everyone to rest.

Next, Adela began to talk in detail about the current situation of the various planes of the star realm.

She is knowledgeable, has a broad vision, is well-informed, and her introduction is very detailed and in-depth.

Tiralilin closed her eyes and listened carefully.

After Adela finished her general speech, she sighed softly.

"It seems that the power of the abyss is much stronger than we expected. Even though he was under the spell of time stasis, he still did so many things."

"If it weren't for the constant interference of the power of the abyss, the second high-energy empire might have been born long ago."

That's true.

In the past, many promising civilizations have indeed been destroyed by the abyss.

Rosen was also very curious about the situation of the Dawn Empire, so he asked: "Madam, please forgive my presumption, but I would like to ask, how did your Dawn Empire fall?"

A trace of pain appeared on Tiralilin's face.

"Your Majesty, this is really a question that I don't want to recall."

"But for the wise, history is the best teacher, so I am willing to share this painful past with you."

After a pause, she spoke again: "Half of the credit for the destruction of my Dawn Empire is due to the Abyss."

"The Abyss is the first civilization in our solar system to enter the high-energy realm."

“They started very early and went very far.”

"Before we established the Dawn Empire, the Abyss had already fallen and activated some kind of self-binding mechanism."

"But this self-binding force is limited. About twelve thousand years ago, the binding force began to fade away at an accelerated rate, and more and more power escaped from the abyss."

"In the beginning, they sent many spies to infiltrate the empire from the dark, which greatly accelerated the corruption of the empire. When the empire fell into chaos, they formed a powerful abyss army and invaded from the front battlefield."

"The external legions and internal spies cooperated with each other to cause great damage to the empire, and ultimately greatly accelerated the destruction of the empire."

At this point, Tiralilin's face showed an expression of regret.

"To be honest, I once optimistically believed that the Dawn Empire was invincible, but cruel facts told me that the only thing in this world that is invincible is time, and everything else is just waves in the flow of time."

Hearing this, Rosen raised his eyebrows: "Then who contributed the other half of the credit for the empire's destruction?"

Tiralilin took a deep breath and said, "The other half is because the empire is old."

"The Abyss was formed by the corruption of the ancient God Realm, and our Dawn Empire is actually following this old path."

"To be honest, the power of the abyss has actually been restrained. Although the power from the abyss is strong, it is not invincible."

"If it was 5,000 years ago, when the empire was first established. No, it should be said that it was 3,000 years ago, when the empire was at its peak, we might have paid a heavy price, but we would have won in the end."

"But the aging empire, like an old man in his twilight years, cannot withstand any ravages of wind and frost."

"Emperor Safinos wanted to revive the empire, but he was too young, too weak, and too incompetent. Facing the challenge from the abyss, he made too many wrong choices."

"Each of the seven great time-sighting mages, including me, has his or her own ideas, and we all firmly believe that what we see is the truth."

“We waste too much time arguing instead of taking action.”

"The marshals and generals of the empire did not receive proper advice, and they acted recklessly like headless flies. In the end, they even stopped listening to the emperor's orders and became warlords who ruled their own territories."

"The warriors did not know why they were fighting, and the people did not know where their future lay. In a state of stupidity and helplessness, the empire that had been glorious for 5,000 years collapsed."

Having said that, Tiralilin took off her glasses and gently wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye with her slender white fingers.

"You must be wondering why there are so many bones around here, right?"

Everyone nodded.

Tiralilin looked sad.

"This was once a huge underground shelter of the Empire, and those hiding here are the civilians of the Empire."

"Because of a series of unexpected coincidences and the results of my own deliberate control, I also became a refugee."

"The empire had completely lost its order at that time. The life or death of Emperor Safinos was unknown. I also fell from being a high-ranking Round Table Mage to a wanted criminal by all the warlords."

"Then, here comes Killmarshal Lawrence."

"His legion developed a powerful high-energy weapon called 'Doomsday Solar Stream' and intended to test its killing effect on underground fortifications. So, he threw this weapon on the ground."

"Although the weapon exploded on the surface of the earth, the force of the explosion went straight down, passing through thousands of meters of soil and reaching the shelter."

"In just a moment, the terrifying destructive force completely evaporated the flesh and blood of millions of people, leaving only piles of bones."

"I foresaw all of this in the time stream, and hid in the hunter's protective cabin in advance, entered hibernation, and waited for the prophesied rebirth."

At this point, she looked at Rosen and said, "Your Majesty, your empire is still very young, right?"

Rosen nodded: "I am the founder of the empire."

Tiralilin laughed immediately: "Great, my prediction was right again."

Belldandy couldn't help but ask: "I say, you mentioned your prophecy again and again, can you tell me the full content of the prophecy?"

Tiralilin thought for a moment and nodded: "On the eve of the dissolution of the Round Table Council, I spent a huge amount of energy to see the direction of the time flow. I went downstream, looking and looking, and all I saw was darkness."

"Of course, this darkness has nothing to do with barbarism, backwardness, ignorance, or evil. It simply means not seeing the light of the high-energy kingdom."

"The power held by those ordinary mortal realms is too weak to illuminate the dark astral realm."

"I watched for more than ten thousand years before I finally saw the light appear."

"I vaguely saw that not long after the light appeared, a ray of light came to our current location, so I came here in advance to wait."

"I also discovered that with my ability, I couldn't see the end of this sea of ​​light. Even if I looked out for another five thousand years, the sea of ​​light still didn't dim. It even became brighter and brighter, turning into an incomparably brilliant sea of ​​light."

Belldandy was delighted to hear this: "So, our Natural Empire will defeat the Abyss and become the greatest nation in history?"

Tiralilin shook her head: "I'm not sure, I can only say it's very likely."

Belldandy was stunned: "Why are you not sure?"

"Because time is the most treacherous thing in the world. When you think you are right, you often find that it is just a trick of time."

At this point, Tiralilin sighed: "For example, there is another possibility that the Abyss completely breaks free from its shackles, restores the glory of the God Realm, and successfully unifies our Sun Star Realm."

“.”

Everyone was speechless, feeling that the time prediction spell of this time-perception wizard was hard to describe.

She was not sure, but she really waited for Rosen.

To be precise, we have to wait for many more years, and many of the conclusions are still ambiguous, making it impossible to use them as a reference.

After a moment of silence, Rosen asked, "Madam, what are you going to do next?"

It seemed that Tiralilin had been waiting for these words.

She immediately said, "I have lost a lot of my high-energy spell memories."

"If possible, take me to visit the homeland of the Dawn Empire. I need all kinds of information to help me recover these precious memories."

"Also, I hope Your Majesty can continue to use the Observer Staff to help me recover my strength."

"In return, I will share with you all the high-energy knowledge I have recovered without reservation."

This is a win-win cooperation. Although there are certain risks, it is worth the risk.

So, Rosen simply nodded in agreement.

"As you wish, ma'am."

I have some mild cold symptoms today, so I will only update once.
