The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"If I were you, I wouldn't be wandering around at this time, but stay here honestly." Leo was about to go to the library of this temple to have a look at the books here, and Sean seemed to feel that his deal had been completed. After it was done, he relaxed a lot and lost his vigilance. He wanted to take a walk around, but his move was stopped by Leo.

Sean said with some puzzlement: "Why? The golden scales are no longer in my hands, I..."

Leo interrupted Sean, and explained coldly: "Yes, the golden scales are no longer in your hands, but the problem is that the golden scales still belong to you now, and only Chris and you have completed the deal. The scales have absolutely nothing to do with you. If Chris's enemy assassinates you at this time, then your deal will fail, and the golden scales will probably no longer have their original effect, so you are the most dangerous now when."

Hearing Leo's words, Sean's already relaxed vigilance was raised again, and his original idea of ​​going out was immediately dispelled. Seeing that Leo was about to leave, he couldn't help asking: "Will you stay and protect me?" ?"

"Don't worry, there are people here to protect you. They may not be able to resist the assassins, but they can give me enough time to come back." Leo comforted Sean and said, "And I left a little bit on you." Something that can keep you alive when you are in mortal danger."

After speaking, Leo didn't give any further explanations, he walked out of the room, and under the watchful eyes of various sentinels, he came to the library of the temple not far away.

Because it is only a temporary temple, all kinds of books in the Goddess Temple are stored in another place. The library that Leo arrived at now was actually built before the Sea God Temple. Most of the books here are for church members. Public books, so the books here are some ordinary Sea God Church missionary books, not those precious books that contain some secrets.

However, for Leo, these missionary books of the Sea God Church are more to his taste, because he can always find something useful in these books, because maybe even the people who wrote these books are not aware of it. To what they wrote hid some secrets about the world, about the gods of the world.

For example, after Leo entered the library, he took the first book, Hymn of Water, which looked like some kind of prayer poem, but the content pointed directly at the essence of Sea God.

It was mentioned in this book that this world was created by Sea God. What happened to Sea God’s original world was not mentioned, but it was mentioned that there was no water in this world. After entering the sea, Poseidon felt that the world is incomplete without the sea alone, so he captured many stars and sank them into the bottom of the sea, creating the first islands in this world, and the seas, according to the creatures on the islands, He created all kinds of creatures and monsters in the sea, and with the accumulation of experience in creating life, the sea god finally created the sea race.

After the Sea God created the Sea Clan, he selected the most powerful Sea Clan from among the Sea Clan and endowed him with blood. This Sea Clan was the original Sea King Leviathan.

Afterwards, Leviathan represented the sea god, fought in all directions, and conquered one world after another. Every time he conquered a world, that world would fall into the sea of ​​sky, until it was completely assimilated by the sea of ​​sky, and then fell from the sea of ​​sky, turning into islands.

In these near-mythological and historical records, Leo discovered that the sea god's original name was Britalica. This word is not the language of the sea people used in this world, but the universal language of the universe created by the supreme council of the universe. It’s just that if you want to read this vocabulary correctly, you need to use the vocal organ of an aquatic race in the universe. When you are completely immersed in water, use that vocal organ to chant this word, and it will turn into the real pronunciation of the universal language , this pronunciation means the mother of water, and that aquatic race takes the mother of water as its belief.

In addition, when mentioning the origin of the Sea God, a word called Likali was mentioned many times. This word is a word of the Sea Clan, and its meaning is the parliament, which means that the Sea God comes from a place called the Parliament.

Although there is no mention of why Sea God came to this world in the book, judging from the follow-up content, it seems that Sea God was not forced to come to this world, but instead took the initiative to come to this empty world. In the beginning, everything in this world was created. Although the description of Seagod's power here is somewhat exaggerated, there is nothing wrong with the main core content.

The core content is that after Sea God came to this world, he transformed the world, created creatures, and then drove the created creatures to conquer and annex other worlds.

This made Leo naturally think of the barbaric period at the beginning of the universe, because the core content of the two are surprisingly similar.

Although various civilizations and races in the universe have different definitions of the time of the barbaric period in the universe, and the biggest time gap is as high as hundreds of millions of years, there is an almost universally accepted answer to the end of the barbaric period, that is, the establishment of the Supreme Council of the universe.

There is no public opinion on the establishment time of the Supreme Council of the Universe. It seems that those Omega-level advanced life forms of the Supreme Council of the Universe are not interested in this and have not thought of giving an answer. After the barbaric period, entered a relatively peaceful period.

Although there are not many cosmic civilizations that survived the barbaric period, there are thousands of them, and most of these civilizations are advanced cosmic civilizations. They have more or less left some records when the universe was still in the barbaric period. , in order to prove the superiority and civilization of one's own civilization, some deeds of one's own civilization at that time will be beautified.

However, no matter how beautified the records are, after stripping those unreliable components, they all point to a core idea without exception, that is, Omega-level advanced life forms are born, and then create the world, create life, and drive The civilization created by life conquers other civilizations in the universe, and the history of civilization in the barbaric period of the universe is a naked history of conquest.

There is a saying that has not been confirmed, and I don’t know where it came from. That saying refers to the civilizations that disappeared during the barbaric period of the universe and the Omega-level advanced life forms that died. It is the total number of recorded universe civilizations after the establishment of the Supreme Council. The number of dead Omega-level advanced life forms is a hundred times that of the total number of Omega-level high-level life forms in the Supreme Council of the universe.

Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it can also show the cruelty of the wild period of the universe from one side.

But now, from the missionary books of the Sea God Church, Leo has seen that the trajectory of the Sea God is exactly the same as that of the Omega-level advanced life forms in the wild period, which makes him feel that during the time after his death, the universe It seems that the peaceful state created by the Supreme Council has returned to the original barbaric period, and conquest and annexation have become the only theme of cosmic civilization and higher life forms.

Leo then went through a lot of related books, all of which described how the Sea Clan conquered worlds under the leadership of the original Sea King Leviathan, and how they annexed the conquered worlds and assimilated them. Creatures of conquered worlds.

In those battles of world conquest, Leviathan encountered various enemies, some of which were even gods, and Leviathan, relying on the blood bestowed by the sea god, continuously improved his strength, and finally became the Existence like a sea god.

However, the ending of the first sea king Leviathan was not very good. When he conquered a world, he was captured by the gods of that world, so he was humiliated. Leviathan chose to die with the gods of that world, and also destroyed that world. world.

However, Leviathan's blood remained and became the original royal family of the Sea Clan.

In those books, a lot of space was used to describe the process of Leviathan's conquest of various worlds, and in order to bring out Leviathan's strength, the author also described in detail the power of a large number of gods.

From these descriptions, it is not difficult to deduce that those hostile gods are real Omega-level advanced life forms, and they seem to be doing the same thing as the current Sea God World, transforming the world, creating life, and letting the created life conquer Other worlds and more.

But the difference from Sea God is that even these gods are Omega-level advanced life forms, but their power seems to be only equivalent to the level of ninth-level psykers, that is, demigods. I don’t know if this is because they create life, It took a lot of power to transform the world, or because of other reasons, their power declined, which did not match the evolutionary height of the living body.

The reason why Leo made this judgment was that the worlds conquered by Leviathan were all transformed by the gods of the world, and the races in those worlds were also created by the gods. This kind of transformation of the world and creation of life The ability can be said to be the unique skill of Omega-level advanced life forms.

And the omega-level advanced life forms all began to transform the world and create life at the same time, which undoubtedly shows that the omega-level advanced life forms at that time had to do such things for some unknown reason, even Even a powerful existence like the Mother of Water is inevitable.

This also made Leo more curious about what happened in the universe at that time, so that Omega-level advanced life forms appeared a behavior pattern at the same time.

In those worlds annexed by Leviathan, there are still many civilized races. Among these civilized races, the races that are not suitable for this world have disappeared, and the rest have already completed their physical and psychological transformation. The new Sea Clan, and the Spirit Clan is one of them.

The Eldar originated from the world that died together with Leviathan. Although the world was destroyed and the gods who created them were dead, they survived well and integrated into the Sea Clan, and other conquered Like the world of the world, he has become a member of the sea clan in this world.

Seeing this, Leo couldn't help but have some doubts. The reason why the Spirit Clan left the Sea Clan and came to live on land is probably related to the origin of the Spirit Clan. difficult to be completely resolved.

Most of these books about the sea god world’s conquest of various worlds are similar in content. They all discovered a world, and then Leviathan led the sea people into the world and conquered the world. However, there is a special conquest in these books, which is the sea god. The first world conquered by the world, the fragments of this world were integrated into the Sea God's world, forming the current Mountain of Despair.

The reason why the conquest battle is a bit special is mainly because it was the world conquered by the Sea God himself, and at that time the Sea God had not yet created the Sea Race, in other words, the Sea Race was created after that world was integrated into the Sea God's world .

Although this small detail seems nothing special, it is not difficult to find some tricks when you think about it carefully, and people can't help but think about it. A possible guess may be that the Sea Clan did not create it out of thin air, but has the first The survivors of this world were transformed into.

In addition to the association of the origin of the sea tribe in the records of this conquest, there is another thing that Leo is very concerned about, that is, the gods of the conquered world have names, which is the only one among all the gods of the conquered world. The god who recorded the name, and the name Leo was very familiar with was Arnoel Londe.

At that time, Leo was a little surprised when he saw the name, and even thought he might have misread it, but he read it a few times and found that he did not misread the name, and the name was not written in other languages. , but the Sea Clan's own language, but this name is completely transliterated, so it sounds a bit strange, but Leo can be sure that this name refers to Yanor Londe.

In addition to the name, there is also a detail recorded in the process of conquering, so that Leo can confirm his inference. This detail is that Sea God encountered strong resistance after entering that world. Ou is very familiar with the method thunder gun.

Although, in the records of that book, Poseidon destroyed that world effortlessly and absorbed it into the world of Poseidon, it is not difficult to see from the follow-up books that it was after that conquest that Poseidon began to Create life, complete those acts of conquering the world for him, and after Leviathan's death, He will no longer create a second Leviathan, and at the same time fall into a deep sleep, and will only create with divine power when necessary Avatars appear in the Sea Clan and other worlds that have the belief in the Sea God, guiding the way for believers.

This made Leo wonder if the Sea God's injury might be the injury he suffered when he conquered the world for the first time.

Another interesting thing comes from Anor Londe. In the book about the royal city that Leo read at the Broken Temple in the lower city at that time, he mentioned the scene of the end of the world. In addition to falling into the abyss, It also mentioned another kind of doomsday, which is called the Age of Deep Sea, which seems to coincide with the process of Seagod World annexing other worlds.
