I Am God!

A lake deep in Thunder Swamp.

Carmon and Shana were sitting in the boat, Shana was rowing, and Carmon tied a giant dragonfly with a rope.

Giant dragonflies like this are quite common in swamps and generally do not attack people.

They tried to put the dragonfly into the clouds and mist to see if it was the same as the rumors.

"Buzz buzz~"

The sound of the giant dragonfly's wings vibrating was extremely harsh. Shana wanted to cover his ears, but he had to use his hand to move the oar to row.

therefore.

He was shocked so much that his head was buzzing and goosebumps were rising all over his body.

Even as the giant dragonfly gradually flew away, the buzzing sound was still clearly audible.

Carmon pulled the rope, controlling the direction of the giant dragonfly like flying a kite.

Put it farther and farther.

Shana asked from behind: "Did you get in?"

Kamen stood on the boat and poked his head: "Get in."

Shana asked again: "Are you still alive?"

Carmon would turn his body to the left for a while, and then to the right for a while, as if he could see further: "I didn't see it!"

On the clear blue lake, clouds and mist flow against the water.

And as we go deeper inside, the clouds and mist become more and more dense.

Stacked layer by layer.

Finally, it turned into a cloud mountain.

The giant dragonfly dived into the white clouds, and even the buzzing sound began to become unclear.

Shana and Carmon stared at it for a long time, but still saw nothing.

After a while, the buzzing sound became clear again for some reason.

"Buzz~"

Shana and Carmon suddenly felt something was wrong.

The big dragonfly actually flew back and rushed towards the boat of the two of them.

"not good!"

"It's back again."

Carmon immediately let go of the rope, picked up the oar and turned around.

The two of them scrambled and finally got the boat to speed up.

But this time it was still Carmon in the front and Shana in the back.

Shana rowed the boat hurriedly and turned back to look at the dragonfly rushing over.

It can be seen with the naked eye that it is dissolving little by little and turning into a white mist-like existence.

It was about to dissipate and die, but it was still vigorously vibrating its wings and rushing towards the two enemies who were "playing with" its life.

Shana and Carmon were not afraid of the dragonfly, but of the white mist on its body.

Seeing the giant dragonfly getting closer and closer, there is no way to escape.

Shana had no choice but to yell.

"No, it's already here."

"Let's jump into the water quickly."

With a pop, he jumped into the water.

The idea is good, but this kind of fog is not real fog, even under water.

The giant dragonfly saw him jumping into the water and rushed directly into the water.

moment.

The dragonfly melted into the water like foam, and the strange white clouds also flowed freely under the water.

Xia Na under the water also saw it and immediately panicked.

How to hide this?

In this panic, he choked some water and swallowed some of the white mist.

Shana floated up from the lake and lay on the side of the boat.

He looked frustrated and desperate: "No, no!"

"I've been contaminated by that white mist. I'm going to die."

Carmon stood dumbly holding the oar. The more Shana did, the more dangerous he became. On the contrary, he, who had done nothing, remained intact.

Xia Na covered his neck, looking like he was about to die, panicking.

"It's over!"

"It's over."

"This time it's really over."

However.

Xia Na held his neck for a long time and acted like he was about to die for a long time, but he still wasn't in a state of death.

Although he felt that he was really going to die, his face was pale and he looked like he was sweating.

However, Kamen watched for a long time, but there was still no sign of him melting.

Carmon picked up the oar and patted him.

"Looks okay?"

Shana raised his head: "Is everything okay?"

"How can it be okay?"

"It's really okay," Carmon said.

Xia Na also looked at himself and found that there was really nothing wrong with him.

He was so excited: "Is everything really okay?"

In addition to the great joy of not having to die, what was more important was that he discovered that he was not afraid of that kind of white mist.

This means that he can ignore the white fog, the biggest danger that isolates the inside and outside, and directly enter the Lost Kingdom in the sky.

Next.

Xia Na tried to contact the white mist a few more times, but the white mist really didn't respond to him at all.

"Have you seen?"

"It doesn't eat me, I'm not afraid of it."

Shana stood on another ship, returning from the clouds and mist.

Kamon was waiting in the distance and smiled after seeing Shana return.

"It seems you are really different!"

"The gods do not allow others to enter this forbidden place, but they only open the door to you."

The previous boatman also said that the gods do not allow mortals to enter his forbidden areas.

For some reason, Xia Na suddenly remembered the boatman's other words.

"The white fog will swallow up all living life, and only dead things can survive there."

Xia Na was shocked and immediately shook his head in denial.

"No, no!"

"I am a living person."

After thinking for a long time, he finally determined something: "Is it because of the family's special bloodline?"

Their family's special ability made Xia Na think it might be because of this.

——

Xia Na and Carmon have been coming to Silver Fish Island for a long time and have lived on the island for two months.

They got to know the fishermen, carpenters, blacksmiths, and grocery store owners on the island. They got to know most of the people on the island, and even the merchants who often came to receive goods.

But no one on the island knew what Shana and Carmon were here to do.

Shana said that he was a noble scholar who came to collect information about the lost kingdom.

The great scholar Gwen recorded his name in the annals of history with a painting. He also wanted to write a poem that would be handed down from generation to generation and become a scholar renowned in Suinhall and even the entire Ruhe Island.

This reason is very reasonable.

The islanders were convinced.

Even the residents of the island gave Xia Na a warm welcome and respected Xia Na very much.

Every day, residents say to Xia Na: "Xia Na, you must write a good poem!"

Shana: "It will definitely happen, it will definitely happen."

Someone else asked him: "Can we write down our Silver Fish Island?"

Shana replied: "Of course, Silver Fish Island is the most beautiful place I have ever seen."

At the same time, during this time.

Shana and Carmon also concluded the rules for the appearance of the Lost Kingdom. The Lost Kingdom will appear about once a month.

This morning.

Shana was finally ready.

Two small boats stopped at the foot of Yunshan Mountain, which was already a very dangerous area.

As soon as the clouds and mist spread, they could swallow up everything around them at any time.

No life forms can be seen in the lake here. The pure blue lake surface is paired with dense clouds and mist. There are no words to describe it except fairyland.

When the time comes.

Sure enough, the clouds in the sky slowly dispersed.

Above the clouds and mountains, under the sun.

The Lost Kingdom appears.

"I'm going."

Shana said something and set off towards Yunshan in the distance.

Carmon waved to him from behind: "Bon voyage, Shana!"

"It must succeed!"

"Come back and tell me what you saw."

Shana's figure disappeared little by little into the clouds and mist, but the boat he rowed also began to follow the clouds and mist, heading toward the sky little by little.

He actually rowed a boat on the clouds.

The white mist was so thick that it felt like paddling in water.

Not long after, he finally emerged from the clouds.

at this time.

He was already several hundred meters in the air.

Shana looked at the heights, the city named the Lost Kingdom by Master Briman.

Although the other party was still far away from him, it was no longer untouchable. He was getting closer to it little by little.

The bright sunshine shines down from the scattered clouds, like the holy light falling from the kingdom of God, full of redemption and faith.

Shana rowed the boat as if he were embarking on a great pilgrimage.

In the sea of ​​clouds, a man is sailing alone.

The goal is above the sky and clouds.

He felt like he was the only one left in the whole world, and everything else in Shana's eyes disappeared, leaving only the Lost Kingdom in the sky.

As he continued to climb closer, a group of shadows appeared under the sea of ​​clouds.

"What it is?"

Shana saw a beautiful life.

An existence with a beautiful transparent umbrella and waving fluorescent tentacles.

It's like a jellyfish in the sea.

But they are much larger, the small ones are tens of meters, and the large ones are hundreds of meters.

They shuttle freely among the clouds, like elves in the sea of ​​clouds.

Shana knew.

This kind of beauty comes with fatal danger, it is a monster that no mortal can match.

And deeper in the sea of ​​clouds, there is an even bigger existence.

Shana could only see the shadow, not the whole picture. The waving fluorescent tentacles were like giant tree vines hanging down from the sky, taking root in the clouds and mountains.

He stopped and hid in the clouds.

He was afraid that the other party would discover him.

As a result, the other party didn't sense him at all and gradually disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds.

Shana then rowed forward. He made an arc and finally reached the highest sea of ​​clouds.

The sunshine here is extremely dazzling, and the city looks even more sacred.

He has already seen the Lost Kingdom, and it is very close.

He rowed faster, using his hands harder.

at last.

There was a crash and a harsh clatter from the bottom of the wooden boat as it hit the ground of the Lost Kingdom beneath the clouds.

The boat jumped, and even the food and water on the boat rolled down.

Xia Na then stood up. He looked at the tall city wall in front of him and the buildings higher than the city wall, and couldn't help but speak loudly.

"I'm in."

"I'm in!"

Shana was so excited that she felt dizzy and didn't even know how to get off the boat.

He touched the misty ground.

At the edge of the Lost Kingdom, he noticed that the bottom of the city actually used a complete stone as the foundation of the city.

Shana couldn't even imagine this way of building a city, let alone hear about it.

Shana looked at the edge of the Lost Kingdom and the sea of ​​clouds below, unable to speak for a long time.

After he regained consciousness, he could only take a deep breath and exhale.

Say the previous sentence: "This is the city built by the gods, it belongs to the kingdom of the gods."

Incomprehensible, unimaginable things.

It can only be attributed to the gods.

This is always the case with mortals.

Shana approached the city wall little by little, watching the spire of the building disappear little by little before his eyes.

It wasn't until he passed through the city gate that the true features of those buildings were revealed to Shana one by one.

He saw the tall and majestic clock tower, and the hotel that was even grander than the Fire Protector Temple.

He saw wide canals that extended in all directions to the center of the city.

Each of the buildings next to the street is carefully constructed, with beautiful patterns on the walls, statues on the roofs, and transparent glass windows everywhere.

"What kind of gem is this?"

"They actually used it to frame the windows?"

"Inlay the windows with precious stones? Just to make the room brighter? Just to block... the cold wind?"

He could not understand this extravagance.

It's like breaking the most beautiful piece of ceramic art into pieces to make a house.

He walked into a shop on the street, touched the beautiful stained glass windows, and caressed the empty shelves.

In the past, there must have been a dazzling array of merchandise displayed here.

Miracle workshops that far exceeded the imagination of alchemists were located here. Although Shana didn't know what they were used for, he could feel that there were once piles of pottery, food, and cloth here.

He lay on the ground and seemed to be able to smell the fragrance of those cloths. He also felt the scattered sugar sand.

He saw a bookstore, which was already empty.

But Shana picked up a scroll in the corner.

After Shana unfolded it, his whole body froze.

He only saw the beautiful silk that he had never seen before, filled with the characters of the three-leaf people. Although Shana had never learned this kind of characters, he didn't know why, but he could recognize their meaning.

The snake people currently only have coarse weaves, and even a king cannot have such beautiful silk.

In Shana's opinion, such beautiful cloth is simply a gift from God.

Shana exclaimed: "They actually... actually used such a god-given thing to write."

And what made it even more difficult for Shana to accept was that what was written above was not something important.

Just a poem praising love.

What does this mean?

Such silk is not an important thing in the eyes of the people who live here.

They have a lot and they can't spend it all.

Shana hugged the silk scroll and walked out.

He was completely lost and everything here made him dizzy.

What he saw and heard here exceeded his common sense.

"Is this the Kingdom of God?"

"Those people who live here are the most devout believers of gods?"

"Is that why we can live in such a city, where everyone has a prosperous life and enjoys endless divine grace?"

Shana had heard many outrageous rumors, such as that the Golden City was filled with gold, but when he went there, it turned out that this was not the case.

And this lost country.

Shana's imagination of the Kingdom of God was shattered into pieces.

Here, his imagination of the kingdom of gods when he was young was nothing more than this.

It was like a beggar with nothing, using his pitiful and ridiculous insights and thoughts to speculate on the daily life of the king.

Shana felt.

Compared to the people living here, the snake people are worse than beggars.

Including their king.

The other side is the clouds in the sky, and they are the mud in the dust.

Shana walked in this city that was so big that people could get lost. Everything here was exactly the same as it was 250 million years ago, when Xiinsai was at its most prosperous.

The entire city of God's Advent seems to be frozen in time, which is why this city can be preserved.

This is also the reason why Shana can see these things.

at last.

Shana arrived in front of the palace, and he immediately recalled this place.

He had seen this place when he was looking at the mural of "The Lost Kingdom" in the Fire Protector Temple.

Shana walked in the empty square. The fountain in the past had long stopped, and there was not a single person in the square.

He walked to a place and stood still.

"This is it."

Shana remembered that he was standing here at that time, looking at the god Suinhor believed in, the First Ancestor of Blood, standing on a high place.

Gorgeous red hair and an otherworldly beautiful face.

Among the oldest ones, he is so conspicuous.

The obscure language came out of Shana's throat again.

"The Ancient One!"

"The city where the gods descended!"

Shana once again thought of the words he once read, and he vaguely understood that the oldest ones were the races living in this city, and the City of God's Descendants was the name of this city.

Shana climbed the steps and saw a stone tablet erected in front of the palace.

It was the first code of law established by King Jessel, but there was an introduction at the beginning of the code.

"The spirit withdrew his gift, but also loosened the fate of the three-leaf people."

"The end of the God-given era symbolizes the beginning of the history of civilization."

In one sentence, the reason for the establishment of the City of God's Advent was revealed.

The Trileaf people were expelled from the God-given land and headed to the other side of the sea to carve out their own future.

The civilization of the Sanye people truly began from then on.

However, it was impossible for Shana to understand the profound meaning of this sentence. All he could pay attention to was the word "god".

"god?"

"Who is this god? Which god is it?"

Shana did not know that in the time of the Trileaf people there was only one god.

He could only continue reading. He felt that he could learn important information from it.

"The second-generation King of Wisdom, Jeser, left the God-given city on the orders of King Lederiki to find the legendary place where God descended."

“Searching for where it all began.”

“The place where God descended at the beginning of eternity, where God created the King of Wisdom and the Mother of Life.”

"That's right!"

“The world has a place of life and wisdom.”

"King Jessel drove the Luch giant monster and found this place under the guidance of God. This is the new paradise promised to the three-leaf people by God."

"King Jeser named it - the city where God descended!"

Shana noticed the name Ruhe. Its pronunciation was exactly the same as Ruhe from the giant island of Ruhe.

But Shana didn't understand what the Ruh Troll was.

However, Xia Na had no intention to pay attention to these at this moment, his eyes were fixed on that sentence.

The place where God descended at the beginning of eternity, where God created the King of Wisdom and the Mother of Life.

"Mother of Life?"

Xia Na shivered all over, as if he had been struck by lightning.

He couldn't accept it, so he repeated it again.

"Mother of Life?"

He kept shaking his head: "Who can create the Mother of Life? Isn't He the highest god?"

"Isn't she...the Creator?"

A god who can create the Creator?

What kind of existence is that?

Xia Na thought that the writing on the stone tablet in front of him was wrong, or that someone had made a joke on him.

But.

Who dares to make such a joke?

The First Ancestor of Blood once stood here. Who dares to make such a joke in front of such a being?

Even if it is the god that the Shana family believes in, he does not think it can be higher than this one. It would be good to be on the same level as the God of Alchemy and the First Ancestor of Blood.

He had heard too many myths about this god since he was a child.

The Mother of Life created the giant island of Ruhe and was the master of all life.

He set his sights on the title of King of Wisdom again, and he couldn't help but connect this title with the previous King Lederiki, as if only this name could be worthy of this title.

"King of Wisdom and Mother of Life?"

"So?"

"Is this a god with the same personality as the Mother of Life?"

Shana finally understood what kind of existence the ancient ones living here were.

They are not just followers of gods;

They turned out to be descendants of God.

"The Lost Kingdom."

"That's right...this is the Lost Kingdom."

Shana stared humbly at the top of the steps and once again recalled the scene where the red-haired god put the crown on the king.

"This is where the old gods wandered."

"It is the capital of the Ancient."

Although what Shana said was not accurate, it was not wrong either.

This is the old capital of demigods like Xiao, Vivien, and Asai, and a holy place in their faith.

Shana felt weak all over, and his body involuntarily became shorter.

He suddenly wanted to crawl on the ground. He even felt that he was not worthy to step on this land.

There once lived here a civilization that was unimaginable to the snake people.

They possess indescribable power.

They have extremely rich resources.

They walked with the gods.

In other words, they themselves are descendants of gods.

But now all of this is lost, leaving only a city floating in the clouds recording everything.

Shaner also finally understood the profound meaning behind Breman's naming of the painting "Lost Country", although he didn't know how Breman knew it.

Was it a flash of inspiration?

Or is it God’s guidance?

"It must be the First Ancestor of Blood, guiding him!"

Thinking of the First Ancestor of Blood, Shana suddenly realized the purpose of coming here.

"Our god, the god that the Shana people believe in, must have lived here."

"What did God want us to do here?"

“What does He want back from me?”

He walked deeper into the palace, and he could feel something attracting him deep there.

The palace is very large, with as many rooms as a maze.

But Shana had some guidance, and he quickly reached his destination.

He stood in the corridor of the Palace of Wisdom and looked into the distance.

I saw only bloody flowers blooming outside.

They sway in the bright sunshine, blooming in their most beautiful posture.

Shana immediately recognized what it was. It was the symbol of the legendary ancestor of blood.

"The Cup of Blood Mist!"

This is a beautiful flower that cannot be seen in the world, and it is also a plant with extraordinary power.

With such a large sea of ​​flowers, Shana could easily engulf him as long as he dared to get close to him.

Deep in the vast sea of ​​flowers is a birdcage-like garden, inlaid with thick glass.

These Cups of Blood Mist were once Cups of the Sun, growing out of the birdcage-like garden.

Xia Na did not dare to go deep into the sea of ​​flowers, so he could only look at it from a distance.

"over there."

Shana saw something covered in the depths of the sea of ​​flowers.

They are mausoleums.

And the last tomb contained what he wanted.

With his strange sense of touch, Xia Na's sight passed through the sea of ​​flowers and penetrated the mausoleum.

But something seemed to be activated immediately on the tomb, blocking Xia Na's sight.

"Ritual Array!"

Shana saw vertical and horizontal lines of light, with ancient spells engraved on them.

This ritual formation is only one of them, blocking the line of sight, but it possesses even more terrifying power.

Anyone who wants to break it will surely suffer backlash.

Shana couldn't cross the terrifying Blood Mist Cup Garden, let alone break the terrifying ritual circle and get what he wanted.

——

Shana finally had no choice but to give up temporarily.

But because the clouds had closed again, he couldn't find his direction, and he was afraid of encountering the terrifying existence in the clouds.

He stayed in the City of Gods for a month before choosing to return to Silver Fish Island.

Carmon was very happy to see Shana return.

"How about it?"

"What do you see?"

Shana didn't say anything because what he saw was too shocking.

Sometimes a secret is called a secret because it is too dangerous to be known to ordinary people.

Xia Na could only say: "There is still one step left to complete. If you still want to know then, I will tell you."

Carmon was happy for Shana: "That's great!"

"It's just one step away."

Shana suddenly asked Carmon: "Carmon!"

"Aren't you curious about what I want to do?"

A wanton smile appeared on Carmon's face: "If you want to tell me, you will naturally tell me."

"But you can enter the Lost Kingdom."

"The gods must be guiding you. You are the chosen one."

"I trust you."

Xia Na suddenly felt that he was really the chosen one, otherwise why would it go so smoothly?

"Maybe that's really the case."

Carmon asked Shana: "You said there is still one step left, what are you going to do?"

Shana put a written letter into the package: "I'm ready."

"believe."

"The answer will come soon."

Xia Na looked outside. The fishermen on Silver Fish Island were going out to fish again.

They were busy casting nets on the lake.

The boatman who had picked up Shana and Carmon opened the door: "Mr. Shana, I'm here to pick you up."

Xia Na nodded: "Well, I have to go out temporarily."

——

The city-state of Suinhor.

John's Town.

Shana's father walked through a jungle outside the town and broke through an illusory barrier.

He looked up.

Found a dreamy tree full of colorful flowers.

As an old family that has existed since the Alsini era, the Shana family is an ancient force with extraordinary power and a large number of props. Its heritage and strength are incompatible with this ordinary town.

Therefore, the Shaner family certainly has a way to find the rainbow tree. In recent years, the family has also used this method to pass information between themselves when they are outside.

Even the Shana family once used this method to contact the "master" they called.

But there was no response at all.

Shana's father took out a letter from the tree hole and returned to the family castle in Yoan Town.

The old grandfather opened the letter and took a look, and the wrinkles on his face suddenly relaxed.

That joy.

It cannot be concealed.

It was like a stone that had been weighing on my heart for many years suddenly fell to the ground.

Grandfather looked at Shana's father, and the gloomy old man seemed to laugh for the first time.

"He found it."

My father was stunned for a moment, and then tears filled his eyes: "That's really... great."

After a long time, my father asked again.

"Can he do it?"

The old grandfather put away the letter, and his expression of indifference and vicissitudes of life returned to his face.

"Fate will make him do it."

"He couldn't resist, he couldn't say no, he had to do it."

"because……"

"He's Shana."
