Chapter 207: Master of the Scales

Chapter 207

"No...I have to try it once!"

In the depths of Ifgrid, a soul glow with a hint of light green and faint blue suddenly condensed.

Lin En's voice was extremely cold, as if it had been frozen for thousands of years, with a fierce and resolute determination tempered by the years.

Four thousand five hundred years of loneliness not only failed to dull his will, but instead made him into a cold and sharp being.

His soul was like an ancient jade corroded by frozen soil, with a restrained cold light that no one could approach.

This is not the loneliness of ordinary people, but an alienated loneliness that transcends time and humanity.

During this period of time that was so long that it almost distorted his personality, in addition to practicing the "Blue Sky Meditation Method" day after day, Lin En also devoted a lot of energy to analyzing the contract.

The mysterious contract that was engraved in the depths of the soul by "Qi".

Now, he finally understood the core of the contract! After eliminating the vast and complex contents, he simplified the essence of the contract into two key laws:

First, there will be gains, he will become the true master of the golden scales.

The second is the price. He must rebuild Qi's civilization and rebuild a brand new civilized world!

"...It seems that I have gained some advantage..."

Lynn whispered, a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

However, there was not the slightest hint of self-mockery in these words, but rather an indifference that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, an indifference that even he himself could not perceive.

The impact of the power of time on Lin En obviously exceeded his personal expectations.

Deep in Lin En's consciousness, the golden scale badge emerged, ancient, solemn and dignified, as if it was the embodiment of the rules of heaven and earth.

This badge is exactly the token bestowed upon him by "Qi". By crushing it, he can return to the wizarding world and inherit the true power of the scales.

Unfortunately, Lynn had already tried it 4,500 years ago.

invalid.

The space-time storm was like an impenetrable chasm, cutting off all connections with the wizarding world.

Although the badge was immortal, it became a silent decoration, unable to release even a trace of power.

Lynn stared at the contract rune deep in his soul and slowly closed his eyes.

"Since the shortcut to the badge doesn't work..."

He murmured in a low voice, a ray of light burning in the depths of his eyes, "Then I will directly...control the body of the Scales!"

He began to use the control sequence granted by the contract in his soul. Mysterious laws flowed between his souls, and he began to slowly call on the power of the scale according to the established methods in the contract.

His soul called upon the supreme golden scale step by step, steadily advancing the ritual as if offering a sacrifice to a fetish.

[An**'s fair balance, according to the contract, I will become your master...]

Lin En was muttering the unique language of Qi's civilization. Perhaps due to his improved strength, he was already able to pronounce part of the name of the owner of the scale.

The name of the great being who created the Libra is obviously a taboo. If you are not strong enough, you can't even see the other party's name.

At this moment, Lin En successfully deciphered the first word.

And just when Lin En was trying to refine the balance according to the method in the contract...

At the same time, at the other end of the space-time storm, a chase was also underway.

The speed of time here is completely different from that in Lynn.

Lin En has survived four thousand five hundred years, while in this world, only a few hundred years have passed.

Qi Zheng was holding the golden scales in his hand and running away in the void with difficulty.

Behind him was a huge magic net evolved from the will of the Goddess of Magic Net, covering him like a tide.

The golden light emitted by the scales continued to resist the goddess's magic, but "Qi"'s face was quite pale, revealing a feeling of withering.

[Time is about to end...]

Qi could feel his own condition, which was quite bad...

He is a creature of the landscape and has the same lifespan as the landscape.

The [landscape] of the Cuidao Great Forest will only exist for a few hundred years at most, and Qi's lifespan will naturally only be a few hundred years as well.

And in the pursuit within the storm of time and space, hundreds of years have passed quietly, and now Qi is not far away from complete demise.

In fact, at this moment he could not exert much strength personally and was completely relying on the power of the scales to resist the pursuit of the Goddess of the Demon Net.

However, just as he was about to activate the scales for the next jump.

The golden scales suddenly trembled.

Qi's expression suddenly changed, and an unprecedented look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"What's going on?...The scales are...resisting me?!"

But this look of surprise quickly changed from shock to surprise.

Because at that moment, he felt the interference of a force from some distant time and space...

Faint, but extremely familiar!

"... Is this... the path of control that I taught you? Could it be that... Lin En... he actually finished reading the contract?! Did he succeed?!"

Qi opened his eyes wide, feeling shocked and surprised.

He knew the complexity of the contract better than anyone else. It was an ancient contract that could only be fully interpreted by a soul that truly "beared civilization."

Qi once thought that Lin En would need hundreds or even thousands of years...

In Qi's expectation, after Lin En finished reading the contract completely, his own strength would at least reach the level of Morning Star Wizard, which would make him qualified to fulfill the binding content of the contract.

Qi's expression was a little complicated. He had never doubted what level Lin En could reach in the future, even though Lin En himself had very poor talent.

He controls the Spirit of the Blue Sky and the Golden Scale in his hands, and in the future he will have at least a lower limit of the Morning Star level.

That was why he boldly and confidently signed a contract with Lin En.

But at this moment, Lynn had apparently somehow completed the content he had reserved ahead of time.

Early, too early.

Lin En is only a Level 2 wizard, and the binding content of the contract is too early for him! The complex civilization content may not be a good thing for Lin En!

What's more, there is the golden balance. This treasure can attract the two main gods to compete for it. If Lin En is not strong enough to touch this thing, it will obviously do more harm than good...

"But why didn't he use the thing I gave him to leave... Could it be that he can't penetrate the time and space storm here?!"

Qi suddenly thought of something, and then he understood why Lin En called for the golden scale.

"If that's the case, it looks like I have no choice but to give up the authority of the Libra..."

After Qi unilaterally guessed everything, he not only did not hesitate at all, but made a choice quite decisively.

He doesn't want the authority of the Libra anymore!

Give Lin En the authority now, even if the price is death at the hands of this goddess of the magic net!

After all, he had died once, so death was not that scary to him! Thinking of this, Qi's expression was quite open-minded and he laughed out loud.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

His laughter rang out in the air, carrying a sense of relief.

"Well... since you've come this far, I'll leave this balance to you!"

He raised his hand and pushed gently.

In an instant, the golden scale burst out with tremendous brilliance, like a furnace of stars, illuminating the storm of time and space.

A gentle voice moved along with the golden scales:

"I hope you will live up to the light of my civilization... and all my plans."

The golden light surged out from the scales like a wave, illuminating the storm of time and space.

The golden scales trembled suddenly, and then with a faint "click" sound, it turned into a golden rainbow, flew away suddenly, and disappeared into the depths of the vast void.

And at the moment the balance disappeared, Qi's figure slowly emerged from the golden light.

He was wearing a maple leaf robe that had long been torn but still majestic. He stood at the end of the golden light, his eyes as calm as a deep pool.

His gaze was calmly cast into the distance, and in the interweaving of light and shadow, a graceful figure appeared like a god descending to earth.

"The eternal supreme balance!"

The beautiful eyes of the Demon Net Goddess suddenly shrank, and her voice was mixed with unwillingness.

What she was hunting down was never Qi as a person, but the supreme balance that could overturn the authority of the divine realm.

Now that the balance is out of control and heading elsewhere, how could she possibly get entangled with this "useless man"? But just as she was about to get up and chase him, Qi suddenly sneered, and his figure pounced on her like a red maple flame, and he took the initiative to entangle her! "Burn my blood, sacrifice my life, and fight against the gods for our brilliant and glorious civilization!"

The voice was low, reciting the words of the war songs from countless years ago.

Even though he was already exhausted at this moment, and his body was as dim as ashes, his leap seemed to have gathered the accumulated rage of the entire civilization.

He did not live to survive, but to stop.

The goddess of the magic net turned her jade hand, and the star spell turned into a torrent of magic that poured out mercilessly.

Every ray of light is enough to annihilate a kingdom of God.

At this moment, Qi no longer had the strength to fight against the Goddess of Demon Net. He was almost exhausted.

Boom!

A stream of spells fell like thunder, piercing through Qi's figure, crushing his broken body into countless broken maple leaves, like fallen leaves in late autumn, drifting slowly in the storm of time and space.

But she knew that, in the end, she was slowed down even for a moment.

During this brief delay, the golden scale disappeared.

The Demon Net Goddess stared at the darkening void, her silver teeth clenched, her fingertips trembling slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with anger and humiliation.

"Damn it..." She whispered, her voice so low that it was almost inaudible.

However, an even more terrifying change happened quietly at this moment.

Boom! In the entire outer plane, the silver-white space-time storms were suddenly stained with a dark shadow, spreading like ink pouring.

The darkness was like a giant beast with its fangs bared, swallowing up the light in the space inch by inch.

That's it!

The breath of the dark goddess Shar! Her power has penetrated the barriers of the planes and is so close that... she can descend in just one step!

The goddess of the magic network gazed at the darkness that swept across the world, her red lips tightly pursed, her long hair flying, and her pupils reflected the shadow of the scales that were wrapped in golden light and flew farther and farther away.

The next moment, her beautiful eyes narrowed and she whispered, as if she was swearing:

"The eternal supreme balance... You can't run away."

………………………………

On the other side, Lin En was slowly calling out and refining the golden scale according to the guidance of the contract.

His soul resonated with it, as if some ancient thread of order was quietly pulling and vibrating in the depths of his soul.

Suddenly, a warm and bright golden light quietly emerged in the depths of his mind, like a star quietly lighting up the silent night sky.

Then, a solemn and sacred scale with golden light flowing all over it appeared silently in front of him, floating quietly in the void.

At that moment, golden light spread, making Lin En's face look like an immortal god.

Almost at the same time, a familiar voice, with calmness and relief, slowly sounded in his ears:

"Since you have come this far, this balance... will be handed over to you."

"I hope you will live up to the light of my civilization and my eternal layout."

The voice was like the last sunset glow in the afterglow, with a carefree smile and a hint of farewell.

Lin En listened quietly, looking at the golden sword hanging quietly in front of him, as if he could touch the power within it with just a stretch of his hand.

It is flawless throughout, with perfect symmetry at both ends of the scale, exuding an almost divine aura of balance.

It is not just a sacred artifact, but more like a symbol of civilization, a concrete form of order and law.

Lin En heard a farewell in Qi's voice. He said nothing, looked solemn, and slowly stretched out his right hand.

The next moment, the golden scale trembled slightly, as if responding to his will, and turned into a small pocket-sized magical instrument, quietly falling into Lin En's palm, warm and solemn.

At the same time, the scale badge on Lin En's chest, which originally symbolized the contract, quietly disintegrated and turned into a pure golden light, which merged into the golden scale, completing the final reunification.

"Your civilization..."

Lynn stared at the scale in his palm and murmured softly.

He naturally understood the true meaning of Qi's words.

To refine the golden scale is not only to inherit its power, but also to inherit the responsibility and heritage of a civilization...

Reshape civilization!

What a difficult task this is? In the wizard system, only those above the Morning Star are qualified to attempt such a move.

Even a fourth-level Morning Star Wizard may not be able to afford it. Often one needs to reach fifth level, or even higher, to truly become the "Lord of Civilization."

Lin En was silent for a moment, then said to himself: "It is indeed troublesome... but there is no rush."

"Now, let's leave here first."

Even though he knew Qi was dead and the contract was complete, Lin En's mood was calm and almost cold.

The baptism of time made his emotions gradually numb; or perhaps, after breaking free from the constraints of Qi's will, he finally ushered in complete clarity of mind.

At this moment, he probed his spiritual power into the golden scale and could clearly sense that at the end of the endless void, there was a warm golden light calling him.

That was a transmission channel to another world, a way out of this world! Boom! As Lin En's mind moved slightly, the golden light far at the end of the void suddenly burst out, as if responding to the call of his will.

In a flash, a majestic golden light gate quietly appeared in front of him.

“It’s time.”

Lynn's eyes narrowed.

Without any hesitation, he took a step forward and stepped into the light gate without looking back.

He knew very well that even if he returned at this moment, there would be various dangers, for example, the military order from the Mechanical City was still hanging high.

What awaits him when he returns may be pursuit and judgment, but at this moment, he is no longer able to care about that.

Because if he didn't leave immediately, his life would really come to an end.

However, just before Lin En was about to step into the light gate, something strange happened!

The entire outer plane seemed to be pulled and stimulated by something, and one after another, ink-black energy suddenly burst out from the depths of the void, like a rage that had been suppressed for billions of years, finally setting off a huge wave at this moment!

That is the power of the dark goddess, Shar!

She obviously sensed that the golden balance was about to leave this world, and could not tolerate the balance escaping her control.

In an instant, the entire plane seemed to be shrouded by her divine power. The sky and the earth changed color, and darkness covered the light like a curtain! A strange and tyrannical oppressive force swept over in an instant, covering the golden light gate.

Lynn's expression changed slightly and his brows furrowed slightly.

The golden light gate trembled slightly, and the surrounding space seemed to be swallowed by darkness, and the stability of the transmission was also disturbed.

But even so, the golden light gate remained as strong as before. After shaking for just a moment, it became as stable as before.

Lin En remained expressionless and waited quietly for more than ten seconds to confirm that the passage in the light gate was not disturbed by corrosion. Then he took a firm step and stepped into the door.

But just when he was about to step into the light gate completely, a bright light suddenly fell from the sky!

It was a sacred light that was completely different from darkness, pure, majestic, and carried an enormous spiritual oppression that made people's breath stop.

That was the breath of the Demon Net Goddess! Finally, at the last moment, her divine consciousness incarnation caught up!

In the sky, an extremely beautiful goddess figure emerged from the divine light.

Her eyes were fixed on Lin En, or to be more precise, on the gate of light in front of Lin En and the power of the scale emanating from him.

The terrifying pressure from the gods came from all directions, freezing the space and making time seem to stand still.

Lin En felt his body suddenly stiffen, and his limbs seemed to be sealed in an icy lake.

But at this moment, a warm vitality suddenly blossomed in his mind.

Ivgrid! Ivgrid, who had surpassed the third level, now faced the terrifying power of the Morning Star level, and played a role far beyond Lin En's imagination.

The vitality energy released by the extraordinary plants was like a spring breeze and rain, which quickly diluted the feeling of being frozen and allowed Lin En to regain consciousness and mobility.

Without hesitation, he lifted his spirits, leaped up all over, and finally stepped into the light gate completely! The golden light gate began to tremble and dissipate, and the bright light quickly shrank, and it was about to close.

The goddess of the magic net opened her red lips slightly, her eyes were full of excitement, and a hint of almost crazy determination burned in her beautiful eyes!

"With my command, the seal of the magic net, and the supreme authority of the spell, lock that person!"

As the voice fell, the Demon Net Goddess seemed to transform into a ray of light and rushed straight into the light gate!

You know, gods and believers complement each other.

After leaving this plane of the world, the Goddess of the Demonic Net will lose all her believers and power, and the strength of her clone will be greatly reduced.

But in order to track down the person carrying the scales, sacrificing this clone is not an unacceptable price! Inside the space-time storm, a flash of golden light flashed for a moment...

And at the outermost layer of the space-time storm, this is the place least affected by the flow of time.

Boom! At the other end of the outer plane, the mayor of the Mechanical City gave the order to leave with a complicated look on his face.

He once bet everything on the arrival of the great wizard, but in the end, he lost the bet.

The Wizard Council issued three consecutive orders, urging them to evacuate the plane and making it clear that no reinforcements would be sent.

Unless he wanted to seek death and face the dark goddess head-on, there was no reason not to leave.

Helplessly, even though he was unwilling, he could only give the order to start the return teleportation! Boom! One after another, giant portals split open from the sky, slowly opening like a giant mouth of space, as if to swallow up these war fortresses and return them to the wizard world.

In the sky, the war fortress led by the Warhammer Master took off first, followed by a series of magnificent mechanical fortresses, which passed through the gate of time and space and set out on their return journey.

On the deck of one of the fortresses, Martha stood quietly, her eyes piercing through the dim sky, staring into the distance in a direction that had been completely submerged by the power of darkness.

She whispered to herself: "I... can't seem to get in touch with Lin En. He... can't be..."

She hadn't finished her words yet, but she already showed a hint of worry.

The light of the light gate became dimmer and dimmer, and war fortresses were sent out one after another until the last gate slowly closed.

Time passed slowly, and the outer plane fell silent, as if the entire world had been drained of all its breath, leaving only a broken shell.

Only the inky dark power is still silently wriggling and spreading, eroding all the remaining brilliance like a tide.

Everything was swallowed up by darkness, leaving only coldness, loneliness and desolation.

If you look down from the top of the endless plane, you can see a dark giant beast that seems to come from the end of the abyss quietly emerging from the edge of the broken world.

It has no shape, as if made of pure chaos, yet it has an extremely hideous outline.

It opened its bloody mouth that could swallow the sky and the earth, and the shadows that spewed out of its mouth were like a violent storm, tearing through the void and shaking the heaven and earth.

The dark ripples spread like ink, distorting the origin of the world, as if even the rules and laws could not resist the absolute will of destruction.

But in the blink of an eye, the dark beast completely devoured the entire outer plane, as if this place had never existed.

And in the center of the abyss that was completely plunged into darkness, an illusory and mysterious throne slowly emerged.

The throne hangs high in the void, like a lighthouse in the dark sea, yet it exudes a strange and heart-pounding temptation.

On the throne sat a breathtakingly beautiful goddess.

She was wearing a tight black dress that was slit to the thigh, revealing a pair of white and slender legs that looked like ivory carvings.

She casually crossed her legs together, one hand lazily supporting the armrest of the throne, her expression calm and noble, as if darkness itself surrendered to her presence.

Those black eyes, as deep as the abyss, did not show any disappointment or anger at this moment, but instead held a hint of amusement and excitement.

She gently licked her crimson lips, her movements both elegant and seductive, as if she was savoring the taste of some prey.

The voice was low and ethereal, like a whisper or a spell, and it sounded softly in the endless darkness:

"Sure enough, that part...finally surfaced."

"As long as I hold it in my hands, my destiny will be rewritten..."

"If you can escape for a while, can you escape for a lifetime?"

She narrowed her eyes slightly, raised a meaningful arc at the corner of her mouth, and said softly:

"Shantia isn't dead yet... The third generation of the Demonic Net Goddess is also here... Tsk tsk..."

"And that wizard...it's getting more and more interesting..."
