After hearing Du Ze's question, Soth was a little stunned. The nature of the world?

Soth immediately thought of elements, which are the basis of this world. But Soth always felt that it was not that simple. His answer was not so much the nature of this world as the composition of this world.

Essence refers to the original form of things and their inherent fundamental attributes.

Soth looked at Du Ze, who was indifferent. The fact that he asked this question meant that the rules acknowledged the truth of the question. The heart of the human race's main god beat irregularly. From the words of that person, he could infer that the world he knew had a reality that he was completely unaware of.

The Hall of Knowledge was in a strange silence. Du Ze could feel everyone's strange eyes on him without turning around. Du Ze stared at Soth who was lost in thought. He was not worried about whether the human BOSS could answer this question. He was cheating. Here, he was the only one who knew that this world was a novel called "Mixed Blood". The most important thing was that even if Soth knew the answer, he had no way to show the answer, considering that he had been silenced every time he tried to tell the truth.

I don’t know, I can’t say, this is the truth hidden outside the world.

Under Du Ze's gaze, Soth sighed lightly.

"The only answer I could think of was 'elements', but I knew it wasn't accurate."

As soon as Soth finished speaking, the crystal ball on the top of the long wooden staff beside him suddenly exploded. A ball of white light rolled to the ground, and then transformed into a white light column that sank into the top - that was the exit.

"I was wrong indeed..." Soth congratulated Du Ze and the others, "Congratulations on passing the Hall of Wisdom."

Enoch made a "yeah" gesture, and Verla jumped and danced excitedly with Alice. Du Ze saw Ariel happily gesturing to him "great", and the silly reader who passed the level by playing rogue was shamefully moved. At this time, Xiu came to Du Ze and held Du Ze's hand tightly. Du Ze turned around and saw Xiu smiling softly, but he didn't know why he felt that Xiu was not very happy.

Why would he be unhappy? He could finally help a little.

Before Du Ze could speak, Xiu beside him lowered his eyes. Perhaps because he had already passed the level, Xiu's spirit relaxed and he fell into a coma. As the crystal ball exploded, without the illumination of the crystal ball, darkness began to swallow up the reading room floating in the void little by little from all directions. It was obvious that the divine tower was driving people away again. Moore carried Xiu on his back, and when the group was about to leave the Hall of Wisdom through the white light, Soth suddenly spoke.

"If possible, could you tell me the answer to the question just now?"

Du Ze remained silent, not because he didn't want to speak, but because he simply couldn't speak. Sos probably thought that Du Ze didn't want to work for nothing without any benefit, so he continued to suggest: "All I can give you now is intelligence information. If you are willing, I can provide one piece of intelligence in exchange."

Du Ze was immediately moved. He really wanted to know something - about the God of Creation. The living beings nowadays only know some legends about the God of Creation, but what about the gods, or even the Lord God? The supreme gods of various races have lived for thousands of years, so they must know more than ordinary creatures, right?

What's more, the one in front of him is the main god of the human race who owns the Temple of Wisdom. For the future of Mengzhu, even though he knows that he can't answer Soth's question, Du Ze still doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

"Have you ever seen the God of Creation? I want to know about him."

Soth was a little surprised when he heard that, but he still answered seriously: "No. When I became a god, the God of Creation was only a legend."

Before Du Ze could feel disappointed, Soth continued, "However, I was also very interested in this area, so I found some information."

"Before the First Age, it was called the Beginning Time. The God of Creation created all things, and all living beings lived together equally. However, after a period of time, the God of Creation disappeared. According to legend, the God of Creation fell into a deep sleep, but I think it is more appropriate to describe him as missing."

It also appeared in the copy of "Mixed Blood" at the beginning. One page of Zhiqiu wrote about the "transaction" between the God of Creation and the eight races. Du Ze thought it was an abstract fable used to explain the advantages and disadvantages of each race, but now he has a guess - maybe it could be a real thing?

"Not long after the God of Creation disappeared, the war between gods and demons broke out, and the First Age began. There were no gods at the beginning, and the creatures of the First Age have already died. Now the only ones who may have seen the God of Creation are the gods of the First Age." A complex light flashed in Soth's eyes. "For example, the God of Light, or... the Demon God Baal."

The God of Light and Baal?! Du Ze choked with blood. One was their sworn enemy who would definitely not have friendly talks with them, and the other had already been overthrown by them. What should they do?

"That's all I can offer." Soth stared at Duze: "Your answer?"

After getting so much information, a certain silly boy was too embarrassed to sneak away. Even though he knew he would be pacified, he still tried to say to Soth: "——" This world is a novel.

...Mosaic is as awesome as always.

Although Duze didn't make any sound, Soth looked surprised as if he had noticed something.

“It seems that I don’t know the answer.”

Huh?

Du Ze wanted to ask Soth what happened, but Soth ignored him after he finished speaking. Instead, he opened the book in his hand and read it seriously. Du Ze had no choice but to enter the white light column with the others.

Darkness engulfed the human race's main god, and white light sent Du Ze and his group away. After returning to the circular hall, Enoch was stunned at first, and then began to cheer: "Thief Master, I'm back again!"

Du Ze saw the human statue on the stone platform at a glance. Morgang put Xiu down, and Antonio came over with a wine bottle. He first glanced at the unconscious Xiu, and then said to Du Ze drunkenly: "Thank you for taking the old man with you. Let's say goodbye to me and these little bastards."

Antonio's farewell was too abrupt. Not only Du Ze was stunned, but the Golden Mercenary Squad was also stunned. Mier shouted in disbelief, "Grandpa?"

"My dear, this is not a fun place. Grandpa can't afford to bother with this." Antonio touched her head and sighed, "If it weren't for you little bastards, I wouldn't have come here."

Enoch shook his head. Mier wanted to say something, but Antonio looked away. It was unclear whether he said to the mercenary team or Du Ze and others, "We are not the same kind of people."

Du Ze knows Antonio's hidden message. He doesn't trust Xiu, and Xiu doesn't trust him. They will cooperate temporarily because of common interests, but they will never be able to come together.

Antonio pulled the somewhat unwilling Mier out of the divine tower, and Bart followed naturally, but Enoch did not leave. This fool did not care about Xiu's identity at all, and just stayed there carelessly.

"As a brother, I must help." said the thief.

Xiu woke up after lying down for a day. He didn't seem to be surprised by Antonio's departure, and he acquiesced to Enoch's joining. Because the human race copy was unexpectedly easy, everyone immediately prepared to move on to the next level of the tower.

The light gate transported them to a new place. This time, Du Ze opened his eyes and then closed them again, because the pile of gold and silver treasures in front of him was too dazzling to blind his titanium alloy dog ​​eyes. Although it was just a startling glance, Du Ze also got a general idea of ​​the pile of gold coins and gems in the huge cave - this feeling was like the black dragon's lair he had seen on Dragon Island.

Enoch whistled excitedly and began to circle around the pile of gold coins. The sunlight shone through the cave above the grotto, shining right on the pile of treasures, making it so dazzling that people couldn't look directly at it. The ziggurat wouldn't put a pile of treasures here for no reason, but they had no idea what they were supposed to do with it.

[This is your lair.]

Du Ze pressed his temples, and everyone heard the information that the rules had imprinted in their minds, a short sentence without any explanation. At this moment, there was a rustling sound from above. The sunlight at the cave entrance was blocked because a lizard man was looking down. The creature with yellow-green lizard skin poked its head out and took a look, then jumped down from above and landed on the gold mountain. It did not attack Du Ze and others, but grabbed the gold coins and gems and stuffed them into the sack around its waist.

Before anyone could figure out what was happening, Mor groaned as if he couldn't stand it anymore. He flashed and turned into a dragon the moment he got close to the lizard man, swinging out his hard, thorny tail. The lizard man was hit hard against the stone wall and died instantly. Its body fell to the ground and soon turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.

Several more lizardmen poked their heads out of the cave, and the black dragon raised its neck, turning them all into dust with a burst of dragon flame. Du Ze looked at the black dragon hovering over the gold and silver treasures, and at this moment he deeply understood the underlying meaning of the divine tower.

——Welcome to the Dragon Clan Dungeon, this is your lair, please protect your treasure well.

After Mor destroyed the lizardmen at the entrance of the cave, he flew out of the cave with a group of people. After leaving the cave, Du Ze saw the familiar yet strange canyon outside, and his guess became more certain. At this time, lizardmen kept gathering here. Although there were only a few scattered ones now, according to the nature of the divine tower, the difficulty would increase exponentially as time went on. Du Ze felt that he would see lizardmen all over the mountains in the later stage, and now it was completely the rhythm of monsters attacking the city.

"This looks like the Dragon's Lair," said Moore. "Before the Dragon's Lair was moved to the bottom of the sea and turned into Dragon Island, the dragons lived here."

"Dragon tribe..." Xiu thought for a moment, then said to Moore, "It seems that we will meet the Dragon God in the end. Do you know him?"

"The chief god of the dragon clan is Lord Aio, who is known as the Nine-Faced Dragon God and can appear in the form of any dragon clan member."

In other words, that thing can transform into any color dragon, metal dragon, or gem dragon? It's simply cheating! A certain stupid and cute person subconsciously ignored the person next to him who was the real cheating machine, and focused on cheating for 30 years.

Xiu pondered for a moment, glanced around, and then divided everyone into two groups: one group would stay in the nest, and the other group would search for information around - the pressure they were facing was not very great now, so they could take the opportunity to explore some intelligence.

Du Ze was led by Xiu to ride on the black dragon and parted ways with the others. The black dragon carried Du Ze and Xiu on its back and flew along the canyon wall. The fire phoenix followed on the side, and its long tail feathers drew beautiful arcs in the air. Du Ze looked down from above and could see a winding river at the bottom of the valley.

"I heard from Rachel that you were looking for Genesis?"

Du Ze heard Xiu's warm breath and felt itchy. He subconsciously wanted to avoid her, but Xiu hugged him tighter.

"It's not just out of curiosity, huh?"

Du Ze knew that Xiu was waiting for his explanation, but he couldn't tell the truth so he could only remain silent or lie, and the latter was exactly what he didn't want to do.

The sound of the wind in his ears was like that person's sigh. Du Ze felt Xiu gently leaning on his shoulder, and a flash of gold passed through the corner of his eyes.

"If you want to find him, I'll help you find him." Xiu said. In the end, he still didn't ask anything and just chose to believe Du Ze.

"If, when I can, I will tell you everything."

This is the only promise Du Ze can make.

"good."

Hearing Xiu's words, Du Ze felt his throat tighten. He didn't know since when, no matter how unreasonable his request was, the people behind him would only say "yes" to him in a doting manner.

This person gave him all his tenderness.

The black dragon flew out of the canyon, and the view in front of him suddenly opened up. The river came to the end, and a deep blue lake was surrounded by lush trees, like a flawless jade. Xiu suddenly pressed the black dragon's neck, letting Mor land on a protrusion on the cliff. His eyes were focused on one point, and Du Ze asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"I see an enemy." Xiu retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Wait a moment, I will go and take care of him."

Before Du Ze could reply, Xiu jumped off the cliff, used wind magic to land in the woods, and disappeared in an instant. Du Ze looked around from a high place, but with his eyesight, he couldn't find the enemy Xiu mentioned, so he could only stare at the Fire Phoenix.

Xiu walked through the woods and quietly came to the lake according to the location he had seen before. He pushed aside the branches and saw the girl standing on the lakeshore.

The girl's wavy golden hair and snow-white dress fluttered in the breeze. She noticed Xiu's approach and turned around to reveal a delicate and beautiful face.

It was Saint Vivian.

******

******

What is this...?

Xiu was attracted by the pure light element and came to the lake. He pushed aside the branches and noticed the slender figure in the lake. It should be a girl, bending over as if looking for something in the water. The rich light element attached to the girl, casting a layer of fluorescence on her outline - even if only the back can be seen, it is so perfect that people dare not desecrate it.

As if she heard Xiu's footsteps, the girl stood up, stroked her flying hair, and turned around.

At that moment, Xiu even thought he met a fairy from the lake.
