Chapter 2913: Doomsday Rift
White Ape Canyon between the low hills is not long. Xia De was also wondering what was wrong with this place before, but the moment he passed through the Church's camp outpost and entered the canyon, he immediately sensed a familiar power.
For the first second, even he himself didn't believe it, but then he had to accept this fact after asking "She".
"You stay, I'll go in by myself."
He tried hard to control his emotions and said to Megan and Fan Ni Sha who were following behind.
"You too."
Then he poked the owl on his shoulder. The Great Witches obediently didn't object, just told Xia De to be careful. After they returned to the outpost camp, Xia De asked Mr. Gerald Delong seriously again:
"When did the problem appear?"
"This is not clear, but the problem was discovered at noon today. The team of Saint Byron Comprehensive Academy was looking for the temple of the Old God 【Mist Lady】 in the forest according to the records of ancient books, but they didn't find the temple and found this place... Of the three Ringed Shushi who entered the central area of this canyon, two have died, and the twelve-ring professor who led the team has returned to the elf camp for treatment."
"Don't follow in a while, I'll go forward by myself."
The death status of plants in the canyon is more exaggerated than outside. The trees outside just lost their vitality, while the trees in the canyon are like being ravaged by wind and sand for a hundred years, leaving only bare, incomplete trunks standing in the snow.
One can hear the wind in the canyon, but cannot feel any wind flowing around. And the sun, which could clearly be seen in the camp just now, could not be seen after entering the canyon, so the sky turned into an inexplicable dim yellow color.
The Church did not set up any outposts in the canyon. Mr. Gerald Delong also stopped after entering the canyon for two hundred meters:
"Continue forward, it will take about five minutes to arrive."
Actually, he didn't need to continue pointing the way. Xia De could also rely on perception to know where the destination was. The trees in front were getting sparser. Continuing forward, a thin layer of yellow sand gradually appeared on the ground.
After moving forward for another hundred meters, looking up at the front, a huge black building could be seen standing in the center of the canyon not far away. The building was about three stories high, high in the middle and low on both sides, and it seemed to be made entirely of light-absorbing materials. Its black appearance gave people great psychological pressure.
The architectural style was obviously the style of the middle and late Fifth Era, but judging from the shape, this place looked like some kind of religious building and like a castle.
The unusual thing about this building was not only that there were no windows, but also that the rectangular door in the middle of the building was incomparably huge, even as if the whole building was built around this door. Although no wind could be felt around, Xia De clearly "saw" the gale carrying yellow sand blowing out from that door.
"The Church just asked the witches for help, it should be to see if they can re-seal this door."
The two stone doors that should have been used to block the huge door of the black building were now scattered on the ground, and had been broken into hundreds of broken stones. The ritual patterns that had completely failed could be vaguely seen on the surface of the broken stones.
I don't know who tried to piece the two stone doors together. Although they no longer worked, at least the warnings left on them still existed:
【No matter what happens, absolutely do not open this place.】
The inside of the door was completely black, and no light could be seen from the outside. The hills on both sides of the canyon were only a few hundred meters high, but Xia De, who came under the door, felt that the height of this door was far higher than the hills themselves.
Taking a deep breath, he didn't hesitate and walked through directly. After entering the building, the wind and sand that came to his face made him subconsciously block his eyes with his arms, but then he realized that there was no wind here.
After taking his arms away, Xia De saw that the interior of the building still used that kind of light-absorbing black material. And the interior of the building was unusually empty, not even pillars.
In front of him was a huge open space, and the ground also used light-absorbing black bricks. Plus there were no windows, which led to only a small piece of light source in the center of the building. Looking carefully, there were three high stone steps in the center of the building, and on the platform above the stone steps, there was a tilted glowing rift.
Xia De subconsciously wanted to get closer, but was almost tripped by something under his feet. Looking carefully, there were some huge dead tree roots scattered on the ground, and these tree roots also lost their vitality like the trees outside.
The closer to the center, the denser the dead tree roots, but there were no tree roots on the high platform. And when he finally stepped on the ancient stone steps and came to the thin glowing rift, Xia De completely confirmed his guess.
He reached out his hand to the dim yellow rift:
"The power of doomsday... but why?"
"Past Life" has been destroyed, that is a time and space that no longer exists. Except for that special black time key or Xia De's sublimation words, there will absolutely be no power at this time point that can connect to that ruined time and space.
【So, the doomsday behind this rift is not the doomsday of the past life.】
"She" said softly and gently, and Xia De was stunned for two seconds before understanding her meaning:
"Is the doomsday of the present world behind this rift?"
Doomsday will definitely come. This is something Xia De has known since last year, so what he has to do is to end the doomsday after it comes. After all, "all things have an end," but a second of "doomsday" is still different from real destruction. Adele's experience shows that destruction is a process.
But really standing in front of "the future," he still couldn't believe it. It's not that he didn't believe that doomsday would definitely come, but he didn't believe that such a place actually existed:
"So this rift has existed since the Fifth Era? Did the Witch Emperors seal this place? But those tree roots... what role did that Ancient One play in it?"
Even he didn't dare to cross this rift to go to the future. He could return from the doomsday of the past life because of 【Yggdrasil's Key】, but he didn't have such a privilege in the doomsday of the present world.
No matter what reason caused the rift in front of him, it must be sealed without a doubt.
The unknown Witch Emperor couldn't deal with the rift, but built a containment building around the rift. Now the Witch Emperor's means have failed for unknown reasons, so it's time for the people of this generation to think of a way.
Xia De's first thought at this time was actually "planting trees," which is his own lock-Tree Kiss, but obviously he couldn't use the lock with all his strength now. In fact, even if the spirit was enough, to exert the strongest state of the "fairy tale lock," it was still better to be in the "divinity overflow" state.
But now he didn't find divinity, so he couldn't solve the problem here.
Turning around and wanting to go to the canyon entrance to discuss with everyone again, maybe the Church or the Academy could take out some unknowable relics to deal with the big trouble here.
But at the same time as turning around and preparing to step down the steps, a clear sound of crack~ appeared behind him. Xia De turned back to look, and found that the rift had become longer than just now, and the dim yellow light penetrating from the rift was becoming more and more "charming."
"It is more unstable, I cannot leave—the stability principle of ancient elves!"
The black key glowed in his hand and extended to both ends, turning into a black staff. Xia De held it with both hands and exerted force, directly stabbing the bottom of the long staff into the bricks on the platform floor.
While stone chips flew, green light surged up along the staff, until the long staff turned into a trunk, and the surging green light turned into a lush canopy.
Under the canopy, not only did Xia De feel that the pressure of facing doomsday was greatly reduced, but even the trend that the rift was about to continue to crack was slowed down.
He didn't know what would happen once this rift completely lost control, and he didn't want to know at all.
Since he couldn't leave immediately, Xia De found letter paper and wrote a letter with his left hand, roughly explaining the situation here. Then he rummaged through his pocket and found the jade of the sage-level relic 【Star Trace】, turned it into a long bow, used an arrow to pass through the letter paper, and then aimed the arrow at...
Fine particles drifted from the letter paper and the arrow at the same time, and not long after, both rotted at the same time. Here, it was too close to "doomsday," and ordinary items would go to the end if they were too far from Xia De.
Even the whisper elements of the relics were affected, and there was a faint sign of losing control. Xia De had to force the long bow away.
"Really troublesome."
He took out his Luo De Pai card set from his pocket again and tested it. The Luo De Pai signed with his name could indeed resist the power of the end of all things under the protection of the name. It's just that Xia De didn't want to let the Church see "Xia De Su Lun Hamilton" in the process of sending the letter.
"Speaking of which, did I forget something recently?"
Even in such an environment, the laughter of "She" was still light:
【Yes, since Wednesday night, you haven't performed your spell experiment.】
The so-called "spell experiment" refers to using the Outsider's real name in his hometown instead of his name in this world to try "Treasured Object" again. He originally planned to do this on Wednesday night, but sending that dragon beast to the death on Wednesday night consumed too much of his energy;
So he pushed this matter to Thursday, but Megan and Audrey arrived on Thursday, and the sisters spent a wonderful night with Xia De and Miss Jia Lin Na;
And Friday was the end of the month, so Xia De was thinking about meeting Adele at night, and if he was lucky, he could meet the long-haired Luweiya, so this matter was pushed back again;
By Saturday, it was not because of the delay of going to the "Time Transit Station" at night, but because the matter had been dragged on for too long and he really forgot, so until today, Sunday, this matter had not been carried out.
"Try it directly here."
Miss Meizi, who had become an angel, informed everyone of all the steps of the ceremony and the potion formula. In fact, although Xia De didn't perform the spell experiment, he had already entrusted Grandma Cassandra to help formulate the potion.
As for the "wolf hair brush" provided by Miss Wilder at the time, it was not the key. That kind of special brush was just to enhance the effect of writing the name with special ink. Xia De could use an ordinary brush instead—referring to the unicorn brush, which was given to him by Emilia as a thank you for living in Xia De's house in the summer. ===== CHAPTER 2914 =====
