Chapter 145: Survey Log
Confirming that he had really just returned to the hidden space in the basement, Xia De recited the spell again and touched the base of the statue, returning to that area of white fog. This place was really too similar to the white fog area after passing through the Gate of Time.
"Since I can enter the past time by stepping in the 'Corridor of Time,' what will happen if I step around in the so-called 'Spatial Labyrinth' without walking on the path with waypoints... will I be torn apart by stepping into a chaotic spatial flow?"
Xia De didn't have the courage to do so yet. He thought for a moment and summoned his brass Ring of Fate. Immediately, the skin on his body cracked inch by inch, and golden light traces shone under the cracks. The area named "Corridor of Time" opened by the Time Key also had this phenomenon.
"Sure enough, the effect of Divine Radiance can also be manifested here."
Suddenly lifting his head, the divine light seemed to wake up something in the thick fog at this moment. The white fog flowed around him, and he heard whispering sounds coming from afar. He wanted to listen carefully, but could only distinguish that it was countless people praying.
He walked quickly to the signpost, ready to leave at any time, but waited only for the whispering sound in his ear:
【The figure of Primal Rift is watching you.】
【Offer a "Bai Shi Crystal" or a drop of divinity to connect to another spatial waypoint in a specified direction.】
"Sure enough, the power of the fallen Ancient Gods is almost everywhere, but divinity cannot be taken away."
Xia De, standing in the white fog, immediately shook his head. Although he wanted to know the secret, divinity was more important.
He had never heard of a thing called "Bai Shi Crystal" that was suspected to be a mineral, and it was not in the textbooks he had obtained.
And the problem now was not the way to open the teleportation, but the area of white fog he was currently in. This fog and the white fog after the Time Key was opened could not be unrelated.
"Can you feel any other information?"
【Only these for now.】
The woman's voice whispered in his ear. Xia De looked up at the strange white fog that could not be penetrated at all:
"Since the Ancient God of Time 【Father of the Infinite Tree】 has the 'Corridor of Time,' and the Ancient God of Space 【Primal Rift】 has the 'Spatial Labyrinth,' do other fallen Ancient Gods also leave such spaces? For example, the Ancient God of Balance 'Upside-Down Judge' mentioned by Miss Anate, does she also have... what is the significance of the existence of such spaces?"
He didn't get any answer. These secrets needed him to find the answer himself.
The space containing the two-headed Ancient God statue was definitely not formed naturally, but the builder could not be known at all.
And who was the last person to step into the hidden space of the basement and touch this Ancient God statue could no longer be verified. Without the "Divine Radiance" state and the special "other self," it was impossible to obtain the information Xia De knew, so he didn't have to worry about others knowing the secret here.
Leaving the "Spatial Labyrinth" in the white fog with huge doubts and returning to the circular space where the statue was located, Xia De felt more and more confused about the secrets of this world.
His eyes swept over the sundries around this circular space. After thinking about it, he squatted down and carefully sorted the pile of things. It was a pity that even though the statue of the Ancient God of Space stood here, the power of time destroyed ordinary things, and most of these items, which were definitely a hundred years old, were rusted and rotten.
The piled books became complete garbage, and the metal utensils of unknown use were rusted. When Xia De sorted these things, the only useful item he found was a rolled-up piece of parchment.
This piece of parchment seemed to be completely unaffected by time. Xia De repeatedly confirmed that this was not a 【Relic】 but an ordinary item before unfolding it. The parchment was intact, but the ink on it was very faint. He thought the paper was special, but the ink was ordinary goods.
It took Xia De some effort to see the three lines of text clearly. "Language Comprehension" allowed him to understand the meaning by himself:
【Common Era 1520, 12th Survey Log.】
【Confirmed the discovery of the statue of the Ancient God "Primal Rift." The statue is suspected to be linked to the entrance of the "Spatial Labyrinth," and the opening method is not yet known.】
【The location of the "Maternity Ward" left by the Founding Ancient God needs further confirmation. Please reply as soon as possible.】
There was no signature, and the person who wrote these words did not leave his identity information. But judging from the date of 1520, this was a legacy of three hundred years ago. And three hundred years ago, it seemed that the house in St. Therese Square had not even been built yet.
He muttered to himself:
"Was there an accident? This kind of information was left here without being taken away... Maternity Ward? Have I heard of this place?"
Xia De's memory was okay. On the night the two professors "visited" his home, he had seen a lot of news from the letter of "Dwarf Mouse" Peter. Among them, it was mentioned that another powerful illegal organization 【Blood Spirit School】, which had originally promised to help 【Mercury Blood】, had limited support for the Silver-Eyed One because they were busy with the "Maternity Ward" in the New Continent.
"Interesting."
Xia De rolled up the parchment and put it aside:
"The secret that the Ancient Gods left behind special spaces is not something no one knows. Since the ancient organization knows, do the Orthodox Church and the three major miracle academies also know?"
But even if he knew about the "Maternity Ward," which was suspected to be equivalent to the "Corridor of Time" and "Spatial Labyrinth," Xia De could do nothing about it. The clues about the "Maternity Ward" were now in the New Continent, and he couldn't get there at all, and there was no need to care about such things.
And besides the rotten books and metal items, after carefully searching through the "garbage," he unexpectedly found about a dozen glass reagent bottles under some brown rotten cloth. The style of the reagent bottles was old, and each had the same mark on the bottom.
The main body of the mark was an equilateral triangle, and the three corners of the triangle were connected to a small circle, and inside the triangle was a man with wings.
"What is this mark?"
Although he didn't understand, he wrote it down first. Someone would definitely understand.
Most of the bottles contained potions of different colors, but even potions had a shelf life. It looked like the potion might also be from three hundred years ago, and it definitely couldn't be drunk.
He didn't take these strange potions and the roll of parchment away, but left them here to prevent them from being destroyed by the curious cat when he wasn't at home one day.
After checking these sundries, he carried the kerosene lamp and left the basement, declaring that tonight's "exploration" activity was temporarily coming to an end.
For the hidden space with the Ancient God "Primal Rift" statue, Xia De couldn't do anything without getting the "Bai Shi Crystal." But the space behind the hidden wall had utilization value. Since even the church couldn't find this place, this was a very good place to hide items.
Although Xia De didn't have anything to hide, he would definitely have the opportunity to use it in the future.
Thinking of this, he stopped and turned his head to look at the wall:
"Speaking of which, people three hundred years ago wouldn't have put that pile of things here with the same idea, and then never returned... hiss~ is it a bit unlucky..." ===== CHAPTER 146 =====
