Section 301
He did not intend to kill the Thunder Dragon and the Ice Dragon. These two elemental dragons were not weak, and were even stronger than Twarin. It was a pity to kill them like this.
Moreover, they were allowed to exist by the law of nature. Judging from the degree of fear of the Ice Tribe, they could be understood as "pets of God".
Although the emperor was guilty of the same crime as the common people, Su Chen did not intend to stand up for the Ice Tribe. It was enough to help solve the trouble caused by the two dragons.
Roar~~
The Thunder Dragon roared.
It seemed to be willing to surrender, and then flapped its wings and flew away.
The Ice Dragon was the same.
After the two dragons left, Su Chen returned to the Ice Tribe again. At this time, Verna had gathered all the people of the Ice Tribe together.
With a respectful attitude.
They all bowed and shouted--
"Ice Tribe, meet the great Four Shadows."
...
The Four Shadows, it is said, are the four supreme managers of this world, the shadows of the Lord of Heaven, and possess great power.
People living on Sky Island have naturally heard of the Four Shadows, but for the Ice Tribe, they don't know much, because the civilization of the Ice Tribe was destroyed in the last cold wave.
However, from the excavated ancient records, it can be known that the status of the Four Shadows must not be offended.
Especially the "Heavenly Law Maintainer". Before the Heavenly Law is not descended, the Maintainer's duty is to manage all order on behalf of Heavenly Law.
Although the people of the Ice Tribe don't know which of the Four Shadows Su Chen is, no matter who it is, his strength and status are unquestionable.
As for why it is the Four Shadows instead of other gods, first of all, there are almost no people who can shoot dragons so easily except the Four Shadows, and secondly, the gods of Sky Island have disappeared since I don't know when.
In fact, most of the gods of Sky Island were born in the form of divine grace, and a few are "ascendants" from the continent of Teyvat. They themselves have the qualifications of divine grace. The moment they landed on the island, they became the gods of this world.
In the last Eternal Era, the gods often walked everywhere, but since the end of the Eternal Era, the severe winter lasted for a long time, so long that four of the seven tribes were destroyed in the wind and snow. After a long period of development, the situation today has come again.
After the last cold wave, the gods seemed to have disappeared.
"A prophet once said that the sky suffered a disaster. When the time for the gods to be silent comes, everything will be destroyed with the collapse of order... This is the prophecy currently circulating among the tribes. I heard that it was originally spread from the city. I don't understand because I have never been there, but now there is a chance." Verna said.
"Another prophecy?"
Su Chen pondered slightly.
The gods are silent, it seems to be talking about now.
Originally, the seven elemental dragons would not fight each other. This situation like today is the first time. This abnormal situation reminds Verna of the prophecy. The order collapses, and things that would not have happened are also happening.
Prophecies always make people care, especially when everything meets the conditions for the prophecy to happen, let alone.
However, the outside civilizations don't know much about this aspect, and Verna suggested that Su Chen go back to the city to inquire.
She can go with Su Chen.
Because after receiving the blessing of God, she has the qualification to enter the city-state, which is the treatment only the chosen ones have.
"Since the development of the Ice Tribe, I am the first person to receive God's grace." Verna said, "There are too few records about the God's grace, and the tribe can hardly find it now, but one thing is certain, the God's grace must enter the city-state and go to the Fuluo Palace to meet the Four Shadows."
Fuluo Palace, the most sacred place on Sky Island, where you can reach the top of the sky with your hand, is a symbol of the rule of heaven.
But even the God's grace is not qualified to see the Heavenly Law.
So they went to the Fuluo Palace, naturally to see the Heavenly Law Maintainer.
"...Don't you know these things?" Verna asked with some doubts.
The Four Shadows have existed since ancient times, and they should know more than the half-baked tribe of the Ice Tribe.
"Well... of course I know, I just want to test you." Su Chen looked mysterious, "Remember your mission, understand?"
"Ah, so that's it... Yes, sir, I will definitely obey your will." Verna breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this sir didn't blame her and Devat for their previous rude behavior.
"By the way, I don't know your name yet..."
"You can call me Sugras."
Verna suddenly realized: "So it's Lord Sugras."
The Ruler of Time.
He is the mysterious and powerful one among the four shadows.
Of course, for the humans living here, any of the four shadows is mysterious and powerful.
At this moment, a message suddenly appeared in Verna's mind, and she immediately said: "Lord Sugras, I should go to the city. I just got a revelation and must go to the Flo Palace immediately."
"Oh? You are going to see the Maintainer?"
"Yes, Lord Asmodeus is waiting for me."
Since the gods have been silent, it is rumored that only Asmodeus seems to be still active outside.
However, this activity is only relative, because some people can clearly feel that the situation of the entire Sky Island seems to be changing, and the power of the maintainers is weakening, even heading towards collapse.
Everything originated from that prophecy, or rather, it was a rumor passed down by word of mouth. People in the city-state have not seen Asmodeus appear for five hundred years.
Su Chen stroked his chin and smiled, "See her. I'll go with you."
...
Let me explain
Some people may be confused by the last chapter, because as the beginning of this volume, I have to integrate some settings before the simulation starts, so that the simulation can be written. There is no way. The official did not give any information about Sky Island, nor much historical data of Teyvat before, so I have to make some of my own settings to promote the plot.
The overall concept is based on the concept of natural order. The situation in the last chapter may be regarded as the preface of this volume, because we will enter the simulation soon. Originally, the last chapter should be written to connect the simulation, but the number of words would be more than 10,000, and there is not enough time, because I got home after catching the bus yesterday. It was more than nine o'clock. Sorry~~
I will write more today, and then start the plot immediately. Many things will be written slowly.
The last volume, it should be finished after writing this volume, don't worry, I will persist in updating to the end (*^▽^*)
Chapter 154 Maintainer, I will change everything! Simulation begins!
Asmodeus, the maintainer of heavenly justice.
In the era of the Lord God's silence, she was the only one who was busy.
But according to the records of the late era, Asmodeus has not appeared for five hundred years, and only a few God's grace can see him... But this is just a rumor, because after entering the city, the God's grace was recruited into the Flo Palace, and then there was no news.
But Verna was happy that each God's grace could make a request, whether it was supplies or weapons, she planned to pray to Asmodeus to protect the Ice Tribe when the cold wave swept.
As for the future, Verna actually vaguely guessed that the ending of all the God's grace who entered the city might not be too good.
Otherwise, how could no one come back for so many years?
The past history was submerged in the cold wave. Perhaps the people in the city knew, but Verna didn't know, and it didn't matter at all, because her biggest wish was to let the Ice Tribe safely survive the chaotic winter.
"Each God-given person can lead 100 people into the city. These people are the 'sparks'. When civilization collapses, someone will be chosen to rebuild it. When our Ice Department was first established, the civilization lasted until a thousand years ago. From the beginning of this Eternal Era, the time of each Eternal Era is not fixed."
"As for a thousand years ago, some people say that the hourglass is used to record time, but ordinary people can't see it... Lord Sugras, you should be able to see it, right?"
Walking into the city, Verna told Su Chen about the Ice Department. The latter explained that she didn't know about the things in the past thousand years because she was sleeping. Verna didn't doubt it. Anyway, for her, she would say whatever God asked.
Behind the two of them were the 'sparks' selected by the Ice Department after discussion. Most of them were children. Considering the living environment in the city, there were also many powerful adults.
Verna is not the only one who can use elemental power without the Eye of God. Su Chen felt it carefully. It's not that the environment of Sky Island is different from that of Teyvat. This difference should come from the people living here.
As for the specifics, he didn't study it carefully, so he didn't know where the difference was.
However, the essence of driving elemental power is to use the "magic organ" as a medium. The Eye of God is an external magic organ, and the role of the Heart of God is also reflected in the compatibility with elemental power, which improves the elemental strength of the user. In the final analysis, they are all magic organs that drive elements.
Then, the people living here may have such organs inside themselves.
There are also differences in ability.
Some people have strong perception of elemental power, some are weak, and some are ordinary people who cannot drive elemental power.
In this case, Su Chen first thought of a certain screening mechanism, and the entire Sky Island currently gave him a feeling similar to a large test field.
As he spoke, he passed through a forest, and the view in front suddenly became empty.
In the distance was a huge city-state.
"Let's meet inside." Su Chen smiled.
The procedures for entering the city will be very troublesome. He plans to go inside now and not go through the process with these Verna and others.
"Thank you again, great Sugras." The people of the Ice Tribe saluted Su Chen respectfully.
If it weren't for Su Chen, their tribe might have been destroyed.
Even if the Thunder Dragon didn't kill them, the Thunder Tribe next door would definitely take advantage of the situation after suffering a major blow. Verna even suspected that the Thunder Dragon's coming here was a conspiracy of the Thunder Tribe, but now there is no need to worry. With the appearance of the God's Grace, the Thunder Tribe dared not mess around.
After Su Chen said goodbye to them, he used time to lock this space and walked into the city-state smoothly.
"Very good."
I didn't notice it when I was investigating before, but now with the comparison of the members of the Ice Tribe, Su Chen found that the city and the outside of the city are simply two different worlds.
The outside is still a backward tribal civilization, but the inside has established a complete social system, with different economic, technological, and cultural concepts, and different clothes. In general, the Ji Tribe has developed to the civilization of Liyue Harbor today or even higher.
"Why did Tianli create such a civilization on the island?"
Su Chen was a little puzzled.
He couldn't figure it out.
The situation on the island was very different from what he had expected. The biggest obstacle to the simulation was here. If these had nothing to do with Teyvat, it would be fine. But if they did, the entire continental civilization would be completely different if there was a slight difference.
Based on this, Su Chen was not in a hurry, but wandered around the city.
He spent three days to understand that from the cultural level to the humanistic concept, the people here obviously believe in a principle of "heavenly justice is supreme", and some people actually know the existence of Teyvat, and they call them "people on the ground".
And five hundred years ago, there were "messengers" on the ground who were selected to board the Sky Island.
However, this kind of thing has never happened again after five hundred years, and it has become a legend on the ground today.
"Five hundred years ago... It seems that the Kanreya War also directly affected the Sky Island, but the silence of heavenly justice should be before that."
Su Chen walked towards the towering palace while thinking.
After Verna entered the city, she once became the center of the topic. The God of Grace seemed to have not appeared for a while. In addition, at the end of the Heng Era, the order was very turbulent, and many people were worried about whether there was something wrong with the Sky Island.
