Chapter 87: Chapter 78: Traversing the Age of Mythic Epics
"Did we time travel?"
"What kind of mythical extraordinary world is this."
The two black-clad white bodyguards, who were usually calm in the face of sudden events due to their rigorous training, were now directly stunned and frozen in place.
"So beautiful, this scene." Naxika, who already firmly believed in the existence of prehistoric civilizations.
But the flying and earth-traveling among them were absolutely exaggerated by ancient humans, and now, ancient myths have completely vanished.
Yet now, Naxika felt that her entire worldview had collapsed.
Boom!
In the sky, a majestic angel wielding a long sword, Baiyu, flew slowly by.
???
They stood at the city gate, suddenly widening their eyes.
"That’s an angel."
At the moment everyone saw the angel, they became unsettled.
Although they didn’t know that, a while ago, Qin Hong, in a mess, had fused genes to create the Duck Man.
Boom!
A dragon flew by, resembling a mixture of creatures, with a wolf’s head, snake scales, duck wings, chicken claws, like an underdeveloped deformed ancestral dragon...
"Oh! My God! A dragon! It’s actually a dragon!"
Professor Naxika, a knowledgeable scholar, had her worldview subjected to immense impact.
Unlike Jiang Yu and Li Yi from the Eastern Continent, her feeling was far more shocking, many times over.
This was their mythological civilization!
This was their faith!
These, were our ancestral myths, weren’t they?
"You really didn’t lie to us." She concluded, saying: "We traveled through a distant space-time wormhole, temporarily arriving at a mysterious ancient mythological city!"
No, big bosses, you just arrived at my residential building on Earth’s ruins.
Fu Qingjun observed from afar.
Meanwhile, they seemed to have not yet realized they had become smaller, thinking they had normal-sized bodies.
And naturally, Yudula was quite cunning, saying nothing.
She was secretly observing, desperately wanting to gather information, even hoping to understand the history of her civilization, to know her future destiny.
Naxika was immensely captivated, "Our gods appeared here! Even if it’s an unknown ancient environment, a mirage, an ancient projection into the present, it’s satisfying!"
"It’s a pity, for safety, I didn’t bring my son along..."
She even saw the iconic deity of the Mayan Civilization—the Feathered Serpent God.
The most glorious and magnificent feather garment, the handsome and graceful serpent shape, floating in mid-air, swooping directly over their heads.
"Feathered Serpent God, Kukulcan!"
This solemn historian, raising her head, her face flushed with excitement, read from the historical records in her mind,
"In ancient Maya mythology, the Feathered Serpent God was known as the epic holder of the Sun God’s honor! Master of life, harvest, culture, wind and rain!"
As soon as she finished speaking.
Jiang Yu next to her was somewhat puzzled, "I know, historical myths are deified, angels have wings like mythical beings, and Feathered Serpent God is an intelligent species with wings..."
"You say it controls life, harvest, culture, which I can understand, can be understood as certain powers or positions in a kingdom... but wind and rain?" Jiang Yu said, "This wind and rain are really absurd, right?"
A few people thought the same way.
In their understanding, it was unreasonable and inexplicable.
But as soon as they finished speaking.
Boom!
In the sky, that gigantic Feathered Serpent God suddenly opened its mouth.
A gust of strong wind rushed out, sweeping through the streets.
Then a large amount of fine rain sprayed from its mouth, transforming into a massive rain curtain.
"Wind, rain?" Jiang Yu was completely dumbfounded.
And something even more bizarre happened.
After spraying the wind and rain, the Feathered Serpent God quickly became smaller and flew away.
"The ancients really didn’t lie to us."
Naxika was utterly thrilled, watching with several ghosts nearby, instructing Li Yi who controlled the body, "Quickly ask the witch next to you about this Feathered Serpent God."
Li Yi nodded, asking the nearby witch responsible for touring him.
"Feathered Serpent God?"
The witch spoke, "This great family does indeed manage rainfall, irrigating the earth’s soil, after all, our land is full of special plants cultivated by witches, some are even magical herbs, developing witch potionology... we also need water to live."
Plants were the first task Fu Qingjun gave Yudula a while ago.
"But in recent years, the treacherous Demon Realm occupied the position of water sources, controlled the springs of the whole world, and even polluted them, we have had a tough time..."
"Every time at the frontline of war, we fight for water, and the Feathered Serpent God transports the water."
A few people listened, their minds shaken.
Those from the Demon Realm were indeed exceptionally cunning, opening invasion tunnels at water source locations globally.
Jiang Yu thought for a moment, showing admiration, seriously said: "War tactics say: ’Troops do not move, supplies go first!’ Cutting off water sources, this move is indeed a brilliant tactic, it shows civilization’s development to a high level, the war between demons and gods is very exciting."
Naxika also agreed; attacking their water sources was indeed underhanded.
As a historian, she truly wished to see the Demon Realm, to observe the demonic insects within, that legendary dark, foul, and incredibly filthy world, and to study its human geography.
However, they were not allowed to leave this city, let alone head to the frontline.
"It’s so miraculous; this land feels as if we’ve entered an exotic world."
Walking along the street, Jiang Yu said, "Professor Naxika, how much do you understand about ancient Maya mythology?"
Naxika shook her head and said, "This has already overturned my worldview! The Maya Civilization is a distant prehistoric civilization, now only leaving behind traces. I know nothing of that mythical era."
As they chatted casually, they observed this world.
And with the introduction from a nearby witch, they understood the background of this era—a time after the descent of three gods and the great flood, filled with ruins and broken heritage.
At this moment, it was redeveloping, and the level of civilization was relatively low.
"Prehistoric great flood!" Naturally, Naxika knew this timeline division.
"However, among the ruins, there are many ancient relics, prehistoric Divine Artifacts that we cannot decipher." Under the guidance of a witch, they saw a gigantic mobile phone.
The screen was lit.
"What is this?" The group was astonished.
A witch said, "Our witch’s Spiritual Power is very sensitive. We vaguely feel that this Divine Artifact also emits a spiritual aura similar to that of a witch, constantly emitting some kind of special energy wave."
Pointing to this mobile phone, another witch solemnly said, "According to our research, this might be the corpse of a prehistoric witch! A presence that broke through the fourth realm! Even as a corpse, it still emits energy waves!"
"I think so too."
Li Yi paced back and forth, holding his few babies wrapped in wet wipes, coldly and solemnly said:
"I see that this metal, although not a witch’s corpse, must be a square and upright ancient coffin. Inside, there might be a witch’s corpse. Once the coffin is lit, a bare, alluring mural of beauty appears, surely a photograph of a prehistoric witch!"
Li Yi quickly asked the opinions of those within him?
Though Naxika was not proficient in the Martial Dao, her words were evidently more reliable than the muscle-brained Li Yi’s. She pondered, "I see this is not an ancient coffin, but a giant Magical Artifact!"
"It’s left by a prehistoric strongman. As everyone knows, like a Grandmaster with a famous sword or knife, they accompany them throughout life, refining their spirit, energy, and essence, which gradually become mystical with the aura attached!"
She believed this was a weapon used by a prehistoric strongman to attack others.
Relentlessly honing it day and night, infusing spiritual energy, never leaving its side, even if the owner was lost, it still held the owner’s spiritual energy. If it were in the martial world, it would definitely rank among the top weapons on the Divine Artifact list.
Jiang Yu: "....."
Energy wave?
She vaguely felt this was a prehistoric personal telephone from the Great Flood era, a radio transmitter.
This proved that prehistoric civilizations were incomparably powerful!
Not only was individual strength capable of defying the heavens, but their era of mechanical technology was also far ahead of them.
After all, military equipment is always decades ahead of civilian use. In their current era, military radio was already widespread. Otherwise, how would planes, artillery, and ships communicate?
It’s just that civilian radio hadn’t emerged yet.
The witch smiled slightly and said, "We hope everyone can research with us to save our era!"
Immediately, the group’s eyes lit up with excitement at the prospect of research before them, naturally eager.
Jiang Yu excitedly said, "No need to find someone to research it, just cut it open. I feel it’s mechanical, and I studied mechanical engineering."
The journey in this exotic world was bound to be thrilling.
Sadly, they didn’t know how many days it could last.
Professor Naxika also knew this was her blind spot in knowledge, unable to help but smile, "I’ll leave everything to you then, I’ll research the history and mythology here."
However, now that there was only one body, Li Yi was in control while others observed, making research somewhat challenging.
"Can we conduct the summoning ceremony again? Allow another person to descend?" Li Yi tentatively pleaded, hoping to convey the message to the Witch Ancestor Yudula, revered almost as a deity in this world.
"Yes." Yudula ordered, saying, "As long as it can contribute to our civilization! If possible, research the prehistoric fourth realm!"
Soon, Jiang Yu obtained a body.
While Naxika was a historian, along with several bodyguards, they didn’t acquire a body and could only remain inside Li Yi.
But Li Yi was doing nothing, accompanying Professor Naxika, wandering through various places in the city, observing the Witch Tower, and even the Mercenary Guild, "Oh my! What kind of delicacy is this!"
They were holding fizzy drinks.
Then they started researching ancient stone tablets, and Naxika earnestly said, "Indeed, the legend of the three-day descent of the gods exists here as well, and it’s detailed beyond imagination."
"So, the descent of the gods for three days, separately granting the people on the earth life, knowledge, wisdom... Was the world truly created by gods?"
Naxika skipped over all of this.
She knew her mission; she was only proficient in history.
"Previously, I was tasked with researching ancient documents, trying to find a way to break through the fourth realm of antiquity!"
Naxika said, "And here, there are more perfect ancient documents, such as the record of the descent of the God of Wisdom, the earthly reincarnation of the divine Jiaxia... The breakthrough of the fourth realm might be hidden in his life trajectory. By researching history, I might find the answer."
She also felt something unusual.
Why did the God of Wisdom remain stuck at the third realm, waiting for others to kill him?
Clearly, once the fourth realm was revealed, no one would dare to act.
She was entirely puzzled, "Is it possible, the legend of killing Jiaxia... is true?"
"Is the God of Wisdom truly hinting to all living beings, to kill him, so as to kill the god within their hearts? Is there a deep meaning wrapped within, implying that before leaving this world, he told the people on earth about the possibility of breaking through the fourth realm?"
This is wisdom from the God of Wisdom, to inform the living creatures on the ground about the method of breakthrough, possibly hidden within.
She continuously researched, and combined with advanced historical records and the studies of biological anatomists, she vaguely grasped a possibility, the possibility of the fourth realm.
"Perhaps what Jiaxia wanted to tell us is precisely this!" Suddenly an inspiration struck her.
