Chapter 4149: Origin Sea and Creation Gate

~11 min read 2,176 words

"The 【Scarlet Order】 and I do have some friendship."

Xia De shook his head in embarrassment:

"If it were the believers of the 【God of Deep Sea Drowning】, I know I can contact them through the Drowning Ghost Tavern at the Time Wheel City pier. As for the 【Scarlet Order】, although they took the initiative to find me during the Moon Bay incident last summer, I don't know how to find them again. Although the two evil gods belong to the ocean system of gods, cultists after all don't share the same faith, so I can't find one through the other.

Although fish-men attacking humans are still frequently appearing on the bay outside Coldwater Port, those things probably can't help me find their order... Arcadia City is not a coastal city, and those cultists certainly won't appear here.

I think I can only let Xiwei help. Her family's fleet travels back and forth between various piers all year round, maybe they can provide us with help."

The matter of the 【Skin-Object Hall】 had just ended, and things like demons and the Origin Sea had popped up again. But fortunately, these two things were currently only in the investigation stage. After the 【Skin-Object Hall】 was contained, the Arcadia region should be briefly peaceful for about a week. After all, at such a time, probably no one would dare to easily pop out again.

Vigo still had to teach Ajielina in the afternoon. Xia De watched for a while, but Vigo soon found that Ajielina was always peeking at Xia De. Xia De was obviously disturbing their class here. Although Vigo liked Xia De very much, she had to let Xia De go do other things first at this time.

It just so happened that there was a reward from the "Pseudo-man" that Xia De hadn't collected yet, so after temporarily saying goodbye to the girls in the Fragrant Residence, he took a carriage to the Outer City again.

The Pseudo-men swallowed part of the power in the core area of the 【Skin-Object Hall】 this time. Although it didn't fully recover, it could be considered to have taken a big advantage. The final sealing and containment by the human side made them not have time to withdraw all their power, but compared to the part of the power that had already been swallowed, this loss was acceptable.

Xia De and the Pseudo-man didn't agree on the time and place to meet again, so he went to the riverside of the Sernier River where he first saw the 【Pseudo-man's Home】 locally. That place was close to Grey Rock Pass, but usually almost no one would appear in that vicinity.

Last time Xia De met a fishing Pseudo-man here, but this time when he arrived, there was nothing here. Xia De was not disappointed either, stood by the river and watched the turbulent river for a while, and when he turned around, a dilapidated brick house that didn't exist just now had appeared by the river.

This house looked like it had been abandoned here for a long time, and the whole was integrated with the scenery of the riverbank very well, but Xia De knew this was the main body of the 【Pseudo-man's Home】.

"I am very curious, I just sealed the 【Skin-Object Hall】, you actually dare to appear in front of me like this?"

Xia De asked, so the door of the dilapidated brick house was opened. Behind the door was some dazzling red light. The high-level Pseudo-man whose appearance Xia De was most familiar with grabbed the door frame and poked its upper body out:

"The 【Skin-Object Hall】 is not as good as us, and, you don't have that demigod Great Witch by your side now."

"Yes, the hall is indeed not as good as you... our transaction, can it be considered completed?"

"Completed, so some things you want to know can also be told to you now."

It was the same as last time, it had no intention of inviting Xia De into the interior of the 【Pseudo-man's Home】 at all:

"We know some intelligence related to the so-called Chosen One's battle currently in progress. That is the ritual of the Creation God selecting a successor. Mortals have always been ignorant. Even if they have the opportunity to touch the authority of ancient gods, they don't know what they have obtained.

We heard some things in ancient times. The location of this Chosen One's ritual was determined from a very long time ago."

"Origin Sea?"

Xia De asked, and the Pseudo-man was not surprised at all that Xia De knew:

"Yes, Origin Sea. At the location where the ancient gods created the first children, the last race is tested by those first races. The starting point and the end point are in the same place, which also symbolizes the cycle of life."

Xia De asked again:

"Since you are so ancient, you should know how to reach the Origin Sea, right?"

The Pseudo-man didn't skimp on this intelligence:

"The Origin Sea is not a concrete ocean that exists in the material world. It is located outside the material world and is a very special space. There are two ways to contact that sea—

First, the Origin Sea will overlap with the material world by itself in certain periods. At that time, mortals who can sense it can go to that sea by themselves. Stepping into that sea will completely merge with it and become a part of the origin.

Second, open the road to the Origin Sea by yourself through a ritual. The ancient believers of ancient gods mastered the divine ritual called 'Origin Road', which has similarities to the ritual mastered by the believers of the Moon God to go to the moon."

"Do you know the specific content of that ritual?"

"Don't know."

"She" asked with a smile.

"Of course not... at least not now. I didn't even take 【Nightwatcher】. Even if the Pseudo-men let me in, I wouldn't agree."

Xia De turned his head and looked back, then continued to walk along the rugged mountain forest path toward the direction of the main road:

"However, this kind of cockroach-like guy, if there is a chance in the future, I will not let them go. I have a subtle mental connection with the Pseudo-men. Although neither side can influence the other through this connection, as long as the Pseudo-man appears around me, I will definitely be able to sense it."

【Don't want to cooperate with them?】

"Oh, how terrible relics are, everyone in this world is showing me every day. I don't even trust 【Desire】 who I have cooperated with many times, so how could I like this kind of strange thing?"

【Then what about Grace and Helen?】

"She" asked again with a smile, so Xia De replied:

"They are different!"

After answering in his heart, Xia De himself laughed. He walked quickly toward the front, and the girl driving the carriage was already waiting for him not far away.

On the way back to the Fragrant Residence, Xia De also stopped by the Finchi Gear Workshop to share the ins and outs of the 【Skin-Object Hall】 incident with old Mr. Finchi. Since he had already come here, Xia De asked the question he had thought of before entering the 【Skin-Object Hall】:

"Mr. Finchi, I heard that the 【Light-Guiding Order】 had explored many secret places related to ancient gods. Do you know the 【Creation Delivery Room】?"

In the exploration log left by a member of the 【Light-Guiding Order】 a long time ago that Xia De found in his own basement, it was clearly mentioned that the Order had touched the information of the delivery room (Chapter 145). This intelligence was obtained when Xia De first entered the hidden space in his own basement.

Mr. Finchi, who had just finished the welding work at hand, still carried the smell of the factory, and he frowned slightly:

"【Creation Delivery Room】? I seem to have heard this name... You'd better go find old John and ask. I mainly engage in research on mechanical manufacturing and the collection of related civilization achievements in the Order, and don't know much about these ancient secrets."

Xia De nodded. In this way, before he visited the doctor tonight, he could also go to the pawnshop first.

And when Xia De returned to the Fragrant Residence, it was already 3:00 in the afternoon.

Vigo and Miss Luolin hadn't returned yet. Ajielina and Miss Macdonald were both here. Although Ajielina had only been here for a week, it looked like her relationship with Miss Macdonald had already become very good.

The two planned to go to the Candlekeep Library together. Miss Macdonald happened to return books, so she could take Ajielina to see that ancient library on the way. They would consume at most half an hour to go back and forth, so Miss Macdonald invited Xia De to go out with them:

"The teacher will probably take another hour to come back. You should be very bored staying in the Fragrant Residence by yourself, right?"

The girl with rose-gold long hair asked with a smile, and Ajielina looked at her new friend, then grabbed Xia De's hand:

"Let's go together. My sister said I can't stroll around Arcadia casually, but with you following me, my sister will definitely be very relieved."

Xia De then followed the girls out. Although Ajielina's appearance was not known to everyone, she still used the witch's eyeshadow to disguise her appearance to prevent accidents. Of course, her height and body shape were still her original appearance.

The three did not take a carriage, but walked from the Fragrant Residence to the Candlekeep Library while talking and laughing. After applying for a library membership for Ajielina, Miss Macdonald introduced the history and stories that had happened here to Ajielina in a low voice in the library.

Although Ajielina had read some introductions about the Candlekeep Library in books, she was still quite amazed when she really set foot here.

Because of Xia De's following, Miss Macdonald later took Ajielina to see the local black market under the Candlekeep Library. Ajielina followed Xia De closely very obediently, and used the reason of executing her sister's order to keep holding his hand and not let go. ===== CHAPTER 4151 =====

This time the Pseudo-man didn't give paper information. The knowledge Xia De needed was transmitted to Xia De's head directly through the mental network of the Pseudo-men.

That knowledge was quite complex, but not completely complete. It could be seen that the Pseudo-men had also conducted deep research on the 【Creation Delivery Room】. In the past, they also wanted to expand the area of the door crack to obtain more power from the delivery room. Although they hadn't succeeded for so many years, at least they had gained something in information.

"Is it like this?"

The door attached to the 【Pseudo-man's Home】 deep inside had degraded eldest son's flesh and blood. After the Pseudo-men suppressed its power, they also tried to open the door to a larger crack, but no matter what method they used, they never succeeded.

At first, they thought this was because of themselves, but in the unknown long past, the Pseudo-men also lured various normal life forms to come to that door to touch the door, but without exception, no one could have any influence on that door.

The only exception was Xia De and Aili. At that time, Xia De's hand and Aili's unicorn horn touched that door together, and because of this, the door that had a crack since the birth of the 【Pseudo-man's Home】 was completely closed.

From the information transmitted by the Pseudo-men, they also considered that since Xia De and Aili could close the door, they could open the door. But out of consideration for their own safety, the Pseudo-man obviously didn't want to verify the right or wrong of this idea.

"Closing the door is simple. If you want to open the door, I'm afraid you have to go through the normal process, which is to require corresponding spirit runes, incantations, and special artifacts or qualifications."

Xia De thought in his heart. The spirit runes corresponding to the 【Dusk Creator】 must be 【Creation】 and 【Life】, and in the information provided by the Pseudo-men, there was a prayer that was clearly consistent with the "incantation" format he knew—

【May the original creator, protect me before the dusk.】

Xia De could almost be sure that this was the incantation to open the door. In this way, if he could really reach the door in the core of the "Pseudo-man's Home" again, he would only lack the key or qualification to open the door. ===== CHAPTER 4150 =====

Xia De was almost certain that this was the incantation for opening the door. In this way, if he could truly reach the door at the core of the "House of Pseudo-Humans" again, he would only lack the key or the qualification to open it.
