Chapter 892

Early the next morning.

Lu Mian and the others had just finished breakfast in the room and were waiting for Ludwig to clean up the remaining parts when they heard the sound of the doorbell being rung.

Outside the door was a half-giant youth over two meters tall, with long limb proportions and short, slightly curly brown hair that looked fluffy.

He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face, and after his gaze swept over Lu Mian, Franca, and Jenna, he couldn't help but lower it, looking at his own toes and saying:

"I'm here to find Lu Mian Lee, uh, maybe Lady Lu Mianna Lee."

He used Ancient Fusa.

"That's me." Lu Mian understood that this should be the messenger sent by Mr. "Sun" to take him to the Twin Towers of New Bai Yin City.

That Great Arcana card holder seemed to have deliberately found a youth, seeking to ensure the height difference wouldn't be too exaggerated.

The youth let out a breath and said embarrassedly:

"I am under the order of the 'Council of Six' to take you to the Twin Towers to see Elder Derrick Berg."

"Good." Lu Mian nodded to Jenna and Franca, followed this youth out of the hotel, and walked toward the Twin Towers located in a corner of New Bai Yin City.

On the way, the half-giant youth walked in the side front, his back somewhat stiff, occasionally showing a tendency to move his hands and feet on the same side, as if he had almost forgotten how to walk normally.

He looked back at Lu Mian from time to time, and not knowing what to say, could only quickly straighten his head.

When the journey was nearly halfway, he finally thought of a suitable topic, turned his body halfway, and asked Lu Mian:

"You, aren't you worried that I'm a bad person? Maybe the order of the 'Council of Six' and the matter of going to the Twin Towers to see Elder Derrick Berg are all lies to you?"

I could kill thirty of you like this in one breath... Lu Mian only muttered inwardly, not saying what was in his heart.

On one hand, everyone was a believer of Mr. "Fool," and they weren't too familiar, so there was no need to mock. On the other hand, Lu Mian felt that if his sister Aurora were here, she definitely wouldn't answer in a similar way.

He smiled lightly and said:

"Not worried, because this is New Bai Yin City."

The half-giant youth suddenly became very happy and said in a tone of heartfelt pride:

"Yes, the Lord has always taught us to be kind and restrained. We in New Bai Yin City strictly crack down on all kinds of crimes, especially guarding against theft, fraud, and other behaviors..."

The half-giant youth opened the chatterbox, continuously introducing how Mr. "Fool" had sent angels to save Bai Yin City back then, how He had given Bai Yin City this promised land, and how he and the other citizens of Bai Yin City had built New Bai Yin City.

Lu Mian had heard these things repeatedly several times when he was drinking in New Bai Yin City, but he was not impatient at this time, allowing the half-giant youth to narrate smoothly.

He heard the happiness of peace and tranquility from the other's description.

In such communication, the two arrived at the Twin Towers, which served as the core building of New Bai Yin City. Among them, the left side had a pointed roof and had public facilities such as a library, while the right side had a dome and was the place where the "Council of Six," which ruled New Bai Yin City, worked.

Lu Mian instinctively cast his gaze toward the round tower and discovered that in the cracks of the bricks and stones near the ground, clusters of black plants that looked like hair had grown out, sometimes drooping, sometimes swaying lightly, as if a breeze had blown by.

When he came last time, Lu Mian had also noticed this type of black plant, but hadn't taken it to heart. This time, he felt a certain bloodline connection.

Everyone was a part of the "Goddess of Harvest" Omebella, or rather, a continuation of life!

Even if a "0" level sealed artifact is sealed, it will have a certain impact on the outside world? Lu Mian withdrew his gaze and followed the half-giant youth into the pointed tower.

They stepped on large black stone bricks, crossed giant pillars one after another, and arrived at the library on the third floor.

In front of rows of bookshelves that had a great sense of oppression stood a tall man wearing a simple white robe.

The man was over two meters tall, his brownish-yellow hair was combed very neatly, and he looked only twenty-two or twenty-three years old, but his temperament was very steady, and his sense of oppression was full. He was clearly Mr. "Sun," whom Lu Mian had seen last time, one of the top big figures of the "Fool" Church.

"Elder Berg, Lady Lu Mianna is here." The half-giant youth said respectfully.

Mr. "Sun," named Derrick Berg, looked at Lu Mian, nodded, and said:

"Follow me."

Lu Mian replied politely:

"Thank you."

The half-giant youth waved his hand and walked toward the door. After a few steps, he turned his body and shouted at Lu Mian's back:

"My name is Rujester!"

After saying this, Rujester turned around quickly and ran down the stairs with a thud-thud-thud.

Lu Mian followed Mr. "Sun" deep into the New Bai Yin City library and entered the innermost secret room. In the secret room lay a stack of documents composed of scattered records.

"This is all the records regarding the 'Earth's Gift.' I have already helped you translate them into Ancient Fusa." Mr. "Sun" said simply, sat in a position against the wall, and stopped speaking, as if he had turned into a statue.

Lu Mian understood that this was to guard against any accidents occurring while he was reading the materials, so he nodded lightly, sat in front of the table, and picked up the stack of very new paper.

He read very slowly, and it took nearly half an hour to roughly figure out the relationship between the "Goddess of Harvest" Omebella and Bai Yin City:

In the Second Epoch, in the era when ancient gods ruled the earth and sky, Bai Yin City belonged to the Giant King's Court, and all the citizens were slaves of the giants.

But unlike other human subordinate forces of the Giant King's Court, Bai Yin City's situation was relatively much better because they worshipped and followed the subordinate god of the Giant King, the Giant Wang Hou, the "Goddess of Harvest," Omebella.

In the records of Bai Yin City, the Giant Wang Hou Omebella had descended to their city many times, showing two images:

One image corresponded to light and beauty, with "Harvest is gratifying, life is precious" as the core of faith, viewing the citizens of Bai Yin City as her own children, always making crops harvest, livestock and poultry multiply in large numbers, and the population grow rapidly. This was the main reason why the citizens of Bai Yin City rarely suffered innocent slaughter and did not lack food.

The other would bring desolation and death. At that time, all the citizens of Bai Yin City knew words like "Extreme harvest must be accompanied by extreme desolation," "Only life can appease the earth's anger," "Death, like birth, is a common and beautiful thing, no need to fear," "We have accepted the earth's gift, so we must pay the corresponding price."

If Omebella of this image descended, she would inevitably demand bloody sacrifices, using a large number of humans as offerings, and even if the citizens of Bai Yin City did these things and offered their own relatives, sometimes they would still suffer a famine lasting up to a year—if they didn't do so, the famine might last three or five years.

Is this the era of ancient god rule? Even Bai Yin City, whose situation was relatively very good, was like this... Lu Mian turned to the next page.

This page recorded the praises of the Giant King's Court for the Giant Wang Hou Omebella. What Lu Mian cared about most was one sentence:

"The noble Wang Hou used her own maternal nature to help the great King calm His emotions..."

What does this mean? Maternal nature... helping the Giant King, this ancient god, expel excess Beyonder characteristics and regain a certain degree of rationality by giving birth to children? Lu Mian continued reading thoughtfully.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and he turned to the stage where the Giant King's Court was rapidly decaying:

Bai Yin City, having obtained another god-level sealed artifact, already knew that the Giant King, this ancient god, had fallen, and worried that they and the others would fall into the hands of even more brutal demon kings.

In such panic and unease, on a night without a red moon, the Giant Wang Hou Omebella appeared outside Bai Yin City.

This time, She didn't descend directly, but walked over step by step.

Her state was very poor. She asked the believers of Bai Yin City to hold a ritual and sacrifice half of their citizens to Her in order to help Her replenish life.

The records of the subsequent situation were very vague, but the result was very clear:

"That night, man killed god, subject killed king, son killed mother."

In other words, the weirdly resurrected Omebella finally died at the hands of the betrayal of Bai Yin City's believers? Lu Mian didn't feel too surprised.

After that day, Bai Yin City discovered that Omebella's remains didn't have Beyonder characteristics in the true sense, but also possessed powerful power and terrifying authority. They completely buried this history and hid this secret. Even after later converting to the "Ancient Sun God," they didn't tell that Lord the true origin of the god-level sealed artifact "Earth's Gift," until Mr. "Fool's" redemption angel came to save them.

At this point, the records of Omebella, this "Goddess of Harvest," were all finished. Next were the materials of the sealed artifact "Earth's Gift":

"'Earth's Gift' can naturally create an edible plant in any environment and promote its growth, reproduction, and harvest within a fifty-kilometer range.

"'Earth's Gift' will cause all human dead within a fifty-kilometer range to turn into terrifying evil spirits, unless that human died from the killing of an immediate family member. And those who have consumed the food it created and have a strong connection with it will turn into evil spirits within three hundred kilometers..."

Seeing this record, which was different from official sealed artifacts, Lu Mian suddenly raised his head and looked at Mr. "Sun," who was sitting against the wall.

He asked suspiciously:

"Every human dead will turn into an evil spirit?

"Even those who were not Sequence 5 before death?"

According to what Lu Mian knew, evil spirits were the strongest type among soul-type creatures, and the weakest should have the level of Sequence 5, while the strong ones could be equivalent to demigods.

"Yes." Mr. "Sun" nodded steadily.

This, the ability of "Earth's Gift" is very terrifying. This is equivalent to being able to mass-produce Sequence 5 Beyonders, among which there should be some demigods... Is this a "0" level sealed artifact? Lu Mian subconsciously judged from the aspect of combat power.

He tentatively asked:

"What is the maximum number of human dead that can turn into evil spirits at one time?"

"Haven't tried." Mr. "Sun" answered with a solemn expression.

Lu Mian suddenly realized and hurriedly apologized:

"Offended."

He continued to read the materials of the god-level sealed artifact—in New Bai Yin City, "0" level sealed artifacts were called god-level sealed artifacts.
