Chapter 3404

The Life Ring is drawing power for them, but Daniste does not turn back to look; instead, she leans into his embrace and whispers:

"Some things, it is indeed only after the teacher told us that I could understand—the power of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, the 【Keeper of Secrets】, overlaps with the 'Recorder' of the Sage of the Moon; the power of the God of Darkness and History, the 【Lurking Dark】, overlaps with the 'Dark Night' and 'Recorder' of the Moon God; the power of the God of Fate, 【Mr. Ring】, overlaps with the 'Trajectory of Fate' of the God of the Starry Sky."

Xia De also gazes at her, and some things he did not understand seem to become clear all at once:

"The light of the 【Dragon of Radiant Light】, the God of Light, and the power and authority of judgment of the God of Balance, the 【Suspended Judge】, are all related to the sun; and then there is the 【Great Mother Earth】. The earth is the cornerstone, the sun is likewise a cornerstone, and the power of the four seasons mastered by the earth is originally an extension of the sun's power.

So these six Ancient Gods were originally linked to the sun and moon in an extraordinary way."

There is no such thing as "Main Gods" or "Subordinate Gods" among the thirteen Ancient Gods, but this passage left behind by Ms. Helena Carter undoubtedly illustrates the special nature of the sun and moon, as well as the close connections between certain Ancient Gods.

Among the thirteen Ancient Gods, six have a great connection with the dual gods of the sun and moon, and when added to the dual gods of time and space who also have a deep relationship with the sun and moon, that makes a total of ten deities. Although the attitudes of the God of Death and the God of Chaos are unclear, one can know from the "Underworld Moon" alone that they also have secret connections with the dual gods of the sun and moon.

Put this way, in the eyes of an Outlander who has read various mythological works, the Goddess of the Sun, the 【Supreme Sun-Binder】, and the Goddess of the Moon, the 【Sage of the Silver Moon】, were the true "God Kings" of this world in the First Era when the world was still normal—of course, the Ancient Gods remained independent of each other, and this world has no such title as "God King"; this is merely the Outlander's speculation.

And knowing these things, the Outlander's understanding of the composition of this world becomes a little clearer. The sun and moon cycle back and forth to illuminate the world; among the thirteen Ancient Gods, they are the core. And the interpretations of other Ancient Gods seem to be answerable from the dual gods of the sun and moon.

The long scroll of mythology unfolds a corner to Xia De at this moment, yet it has already allowed him to glimpse those stories that should not have been spread again. From one to thirteen, from thirteen to one, the Ancient Gods each have their own stories and secrets. And since the Tree Father could leave his own traces in the form of a World Tree phantom to influence the era after the Mythological Era, then the dual gods of the sun and moon must surely have their own means.

"Meow~"

The orange-and-white furred cat is still curiously looking at the library, and the Life Ring spinning rapidly behind Xia De and Daniste gradually slows down at this time; of course, it is Daniste's Life Ring that completes the deceleration first.

Together with the starlit light traces and the golden spiritual light symbolizing miracles, a new spiritual rune is carved onto her Life Ring. Having stood at the Thirteenth Ring for many years, she has not had this feeling of gaining new power for a long time:

"Miracle - Mythology."

She is still leaning in Xia De's arms, but without needing to turn back, she can know the content of the brand-new power through the other self:

"This is a quite rare spiritual rune, very, very rare. It is even rarer than 【Fairy Tales】, 【Stories】, 【Poetry】, and 【Epics】, which are the most important for Ring-Warlocks who excel at using Enlightenment elements. This grants me the power to learn the divine arts of the gods even without believing in them, teacher..."

Xia De asks with full expectation:

"Then have you seen your path to demigodhood?"

The female warlock, unwilling to get up from his arms, shakes her head:

"What does this have to do with the path to demigodhood? This is a gift given to me by the teacher."

As for Xia De, currently at the Ninth Ring, he already has Enlightenment - 【Ice and Snow】, Whisper - 【Sword】, and Miracle - 【Jealousy】. Theoretically, he only lacks a Profane spiritual rune and a spiritual rune of the Word of Sublimation to be ready for the Tenth Ring advancement. But this matter will certainly not bring profanity; it also brings Xia De a Miracle spiritual rune, only no one expected the content of that spiritual rune:

【Those initial stories have long since turned to dust, and even those existences who walked out of the past have long forgotten them. Who lit the initial light? Who ignited the initial fire? Who took the initial step on the earth? Outlander, you have known the story of when the sun and moon first illuminated the world; that is a story from a long, long time ago.】

【Outlander, you have known the basic composition of the world, and you have understood the most ancient miracle.】

The huge Life Ring slowly decelerates in the starry sky. After Xia De integrates 【Moon Tears】 into his soul, his Life Ring will emit a faint, translucent, silver jade-like texture under the moonlight, and now, after absorbing starlight from the library's sea of stars, the color displayed by his Life Ring is even more enchanting.

"She" says gently:

【Outlander, you have inscribed the Golden Miracle spiritual rune - World.】

【Some of your time and space-type sorceries have been enhanced:】

【Lagley's Leap: Cooldown time reduced to 3 seconds, movement distance expanded to 200 meters.】

【Adele's Time Stop: Can be used on multiple targets.】

【All Forbidden Zone-type abilities: Forbidden Zone authenticity enhanced, spiritual consumption for maintaining the Forbidden Zone reduced.】

"Hmm?"

Xia De turns around abruptly to look back. He is not only surprised by the acquisition of 【World】, but even more surprised that the acquisition of a spiritual rune can directly affect the effects of sorceries. The 100m range limit of 【Lagley's Leap】 was obtained after Vanessa's "Dark Night Temple Sacrifice" (Chapter 2506), and this time, the range of this sorcery has expanded twofold again.

Daniste notices his movement and asks softly:

"What is the miracle you obtained?"

"World."

Xia De reads out the meaning of the ancient rune that appeared on his Life Ring in disbelief. Ms. Administrator is surprised at first, but then feels a sense of relief:

"Sure enough, for you, anything is possible... If you can, turn it into your core spiritual rune in the future, and build your final Word of Sublimation around it. World, world... a vocabulary that contains everything. I have never heard of anyone possessing such a spiritual rune; it probably can only belong to you."

No one has ever obtained such a spiritual rune, which means no one knows what kind of sorcery should be associated with it; this can only be tried by Xia De himself. And Xia De's surprise lies in the fact that he thought super-standard spiritual runes like "World," "Civilization," or "Humanity" should only appear at the end of the story, when he sees the ending.

Sure enough, every time he enters the 【Silver Moon Library】, there are "surprises" he never expected waiting for him.

"World... but I can already stop time."

He is saying things only he understands again, and "She" gives further hints:

【Outlander, perhaps you have long realized that some of your sorceries are different.】

【After knowing the secrets of the Ancient Gods, your 【Moon Library】 and 【Summoning Small Wooden Boat】 have been reclassified as divine arts. They are not sorceries bestowed by gods, but powers used by gods.】

This is something Xia De only understands at this moment; these two sorceries are clearly the power of the Silver Moon, products combined with the powers of the 【Keeper of Secrets】 and the 【Ancient God of Death】 respectively.

He had long realized that he had three peculiar sorceries; besides 【Chain of Great Sins】, these were the two. Only now, knowing the relationship between the Ancient Gods, does he suddenly realize that these might be powers left behind by the Ancient Gods, which, under the interaction with the power of the Silver Moon, allowed him to glimpse a little of the authority of the gods.

And what "She" really wants to tell Xia De is:

【Outlander, you can try to obtain more similar divine arts. This will be very useful in the journey ahead.】

Xia De also knows this will be very useful, but he does not know how to obtain such "divine arts." He is almost certain that the most suitable power combined with 【Moon】 and 【Darkness】 must be the miracle 【Dark Night Descends】 he used once during the Moon Bay Divine War—directly changing day into night.

But knowing does not mean being able to do it. Unless he encounters the 【God of Dark Night】 again, or the dead Darkness Chosen Ivan Darkness is generous once more, Xia De cannot think of how he would obtain this power.

Every time he enters the "Silver Moon Library," it means Xia De is one step closer to the secrets of the world. The first time, he formally learned the importance of Mount Kalas; the second time, on the night of the lunar eclipse, he gained divinity and learned about the "Primitive Moon" fragments; this time, he learned the stories of the Ancient Gods, which even belong to the basic rules of this world.

But the problem is, although both of them obtained new spiritual runes, the real purpose of their entry into the library this time seems unattainable.

"How about this, how about I use my opportunity to look up the secrets of Mount Kalas?"

After their Life Rings are retracted, Xia De suggests to Daniste. The female warlock, whose mental energy recovers quickly in the library, shakes her head:

"If you have no other needs, I might agree, but now there is not only the matter of the "Book of Ages," but even your high-ring Word of Sublimation needs to be looked up. No need, Xia De, I am actually not disappointed or sad."

She looks at the magnificent and gorgeous library before her:

"Thinking that the teacher had also been here, and thinking that the teacher had actually anticipated in advance that I would appear here, I have a kind of... surging feeling in my heart. I originally thought the teacher passed away due to an accident, and I thought the teacher had deliberately abandoned me, but it turns out the teacher was really doing such an amazing thing."

She turns her head and asks Xia De:

"Guess, is the true door of the library, the one the teacher found, in the ruins of that collapsed moon tower on Mount Kalas?"

Xia De's heart jumps:

"Very likely... but whether it can be found is another matter."

Seeing that Daniste's spirit is recovering well in the starlight, Xia De begins his own search. To ensure that this search is foolproof, he even summons his Life Ring again and then opens his 【Moon Library】 in the library.

Only this time, the spellcasting does not produce any light and shadow effects, or rather, apart from Xia De realizing that his spellcasting was successful, there are no abnormal conditions.

He reaches out his hand forward, both to make a request to the 【Silver Moon Library】 and to activate his own sorcery:

"I want to find the 'Book of Ages'."
