When a friend achieves something you could never reach in your entire life, people have two reactions: the first is indifference, you neither envy nor yearn for it, treating it as distant news unrelated to you, and continue living peacefully;
The second is excitement/jealousy/longing, whether emotions are positive or negative, you no longer want to continue your past peaceful life, but want to climb upwards, to get closer to your friend!
Lois was the first kind before, but after she summoned the Technique Spirit, she gradually leaned towards the second kind. From a pampered young lady who only 'knew a little' about swimming and hadn't even killed a Lala Fat, to now daring to fight with the Fish-Slicing Dragon in the sea, it shows how tempering the Void Realm exploration is.
This is the charm of the Void Realm.
No matter whether you are a noble above the masses in reality, or a refugee wandering at the bottom, in the Void Realm, you are all alone, without assistance, without equipment, the only thing you can rely on is yourself.
The noble child, pampered and learning step by step from an early age, might lose heart after being killed by the Fish-Slicing Dragon a few times, thus mingling and eating until death, not even willing to enter the Void Realm; while the low-level mage, who has been striving for survival, honing skills, and naturally summoning a new Technique Spirit from a young age, can instead navigate the Void Realm with ease, step by step sail thousands of miles, glimpsing the road to truth and power that reaches the heavens.
Lois was prepared to suffer, but when she actively embraced the Void Realm challenge, she found it wasn't as daunting as expected. From never having fought, she became skilled at escaping and fighting; always elegant and tidy, she learned to roll on the ground; she never dared walk at night, but now she could stay alert at all times.
Gradually, Lois started to understand why, when she attended gatherings, even if others had noble titles or successful careers, as long as they were mages, the prefix before their names was always the same.
Now Lois seldom attends parties, but if she introduces herself to strangers, compared to being the daughter of a chamber of commerce president or a Sword Flower University student, she prefers to introduce herself as—
Water Mage Lois.
Therefore, upon seeing the white mist re-cover the Sea of Knowledge, yet discovering strange golden chains appearing in the sea, Lois didn't shrink back with fear, she directly dived into the sea to see what was happening.
Though deep diving into the Sea of Knowledge is a dead end path, swimming for a few minutes is not a problem.
The Sea of Knowledge was originally pitch-black and unable to be seen, yet at this moment Lois could clearly see the golden chain undulating in the sea, unknown where it extended, and the chain wasn't far off, she could touch it after diving a few meters into the sea.
Compared to fear, suspicion, anxiety, the strongest thought in Lois's mind was only one—what would happen if she touched the chain?
Thinking and doing, she further dived down, grabbing that golden chain.
And indeed, she felt a tangible sensation of grabbing something.
Gugladongdong—
At this moment, Lois saw her Rapid Stream Technique Spirit suddenly leap out, it voluntarily cast magic, forming a vortex with the surrounding water flow to engulf Lois. Lois was dumbfounded, she instinctively held onto the golden chain tightly, then her entire person was swept through numerous sea domains by the water flow!
Void Realm Mechanism·Vortex?!
Lois was both startled and delighted, it was truly a vortex, she could clearly feel her silver magic power rapidly increasing, this was truly the special mechanism silver mages most desired to encounter, vortex!
When Lois stopped, she found her silver magic power had grown by three feathers, equal to a month's hard work in exploration! Though not much, but this was magic power given for free, not everyone could achieve silver full wings like Sonia within a month!
However, in Lois's heart, there was more suspicion, if she wasn't mistaken, the vortex was evidently caused by her Rapid Stream Technique Spirit, but she had never heard of Rapid Stream Technique Spirit having such an effect—if Rapid Stream Technique Spirit could create vortexes, then Water Magic would certainly become the most important foundational education for the Starians.
At this moment, Lois found herself in a different place. She stepped on muddy ground with a layer of clear sea water floating above, the ground extended forward continuously, even the white mist could not conceal this path, she could not see the end of the road!
Although seeing it for the first time, Lois, who scored full marks in the "Sea of Knowledge Summary" course, recognized at a glance: "Here is—The Great Path!?"
The Sea of Knowledge has many peculiar mechanisms, vortex, sea waterfall, great path, sky bubble, among them except for the "vortex" benefiting mages, other mechanisms, though rare to see, do not offer much help to mages.
"Why did the vortex take me to the Great Path?" Lois was full of doubts.
Shoo.
A Technique Spirit suddenly flew out of the water pond on the ground, looking like a shark yet appearing gentle. Soon the surrounding water enveloped it, continuously nurturing and strengthening, it transformed into a three-meter-high humanoid water monster!
Lois was scared back a step, at this moment she realized she still held onto the golden chain! The golden chain suddenly contracted, tightly winding around her arm, a stream of information poured into Lois's mind—
"Every Water Mage can challenge the trial of the Great Path, accept my Lake Light Angel's inheritance."
"As long as you possess a Water Magic Technique Spirit, you can reach the Great Road through the vortex; on the Great Road, only the Water Magic Technique Spirit can take effect. Each mage can only trigger the vortex once through the Water Magic Technique Spirit, but through trials, they can obtain more opportunities to trigger the vortex."
Just as the humanoid water monster was about to attack, Lois came to her senses—
The inheritance of the Angel of Lake Light!?
Surpassing Legendary Mage, second only to the Divine Lord's Angel Inheritance!?
*
Time Continent.
"Now it's over..."
An enraged Denzel directly ordered the Spider Tower army to flood the Sealing Altar. Although killing Meiwa and the others was useless, she had no reason not to eliminate these three culprits responsible for disrupting the sealing war!
Hanna spread her wings and said to the other two, "Find a way to fly out and locate the Flowing Gold River."
Under the protection of the "Six-colored Anchor," the Heroic Soul Army could not harm them no matter what, but if they were cornered, Denzel could trap them in the Static Domain, rendering them into a picture—still time is the end of all things.
Their only means of survival was to find the Flowing Gold River, which even the Heroic Soul Army could not enter, allowing them to safely exit the Void Realm and escape danger!
Unfortunately, Ash's diary was updating too slowly, and the Gospel chapter was much longer than the Blood Moon chapter. He hadn't yet written about the truth behind the Seven-colored Tail; otherwise, Hanna and the others could attempt to find the Seven-colored Tail to ascend to the Holy Domain.
However, at that moment, the Sealing Altar suddenly roared and rose from the ground! Hanna and the others were shocked, seeing themselves rise higher and higher, witnessing a grand and magnificent city rising from the earth, spanning to the farthest reaches!
This city was larger than any main city of the powers of the six nations! The Reverse Flowing Golden Rain acted like energy, pouring into every groove and crystal of the city, illuminating it entirely!
A moat composed of the Flowing Gold River surrounded the giant city!
"I smell the stench of the Blood Moon, Dazzling Star, those scum!"
With this voice filled with anger, Meiwa and the others' minds went blank—their Technique Spirits within their souls huddled together, their consciousness almost shattered by this ancient pressure!
At the same time, an arc of light spread from the Sealing Altar, instantly destroying all surrounding Heroic Soul Army, countless armed troops vanished in the arc! Only Denzel and other high-ranking Commanders managed to cast hundreds of layers of armor on themselves, barely blocking the arc, merely getting knocked away!
The six fortresses locking the central region also completely collapsed and disintegrated under the arc, turning to dust!
A gold and silver two-colored phantom appeared above the Sealing Altar, it had five silver Void Wings and an apparent gold false wing attached. Its appearance was unclear, and most peculiarly, it seemed like an upside-down person, head facing the ground, feet treading the sky.
"Return, my companions, my comrades, my followers, my citizens!"
With its proclamation, countless figures gradually appeared in the dead silent giant city beneath Meiwa's feet. Without exception, they stood and saluted, facing the inverted phantom, cheers echoing throughout the Time Continent: "Time is endless!"
"Time is endless, but our time has passed," the inverted phantom said. "I didn't expect my arrangements would be forcibly pulled out by the Void Realm... so be it."
It gently clapped its hands, and its voice resonated throughout the Time Continent: "I am the King of Time, Kelo, wielding the supreme authority of the Time Continent!"
"The Void Realm's inheritance has opened, the Eternal City reappears. Any Time Mage can cross the moat and enter the Eternal City to undergo the Death Trial!"
"If you wish to attain my ultimate inheritance, come before me... then."
The inverted phantom suddenly realized there were already three mages on the Sealing Altar before it. Hanna was trembling in fear with Freyja, while Siflin turned into a small bat hiding in their embrace.
After a brief silence, it said again: "You must acquire at least ten ordinary inheritances in the Eternal City to gain my ultimate inheritance."
This is definitely a rule you added last minute—if not for trembling in fear, Freyja almost blurted out this sentence.
