The sun is high

Through the mouths of representatives of the Sea Tribe, these words of extraordinary significance to today’s residents of Van’en Land were constantly spoken.

A strange picture from the distant past finally opened up in the minds of these "land travelers".

At the same time, Xiuge, who was far away in Watch City, like all the people who participated in the Black Sun Society gathering, once again glimpsed the lost picture through the Black Sun Mystery.

"Life originated in the ocean."

In different worlds, this sentence has completely different connotations.

If it were in Xiuge's real "hometown", this would probably be common sense accepted by most people.

However, in Vann, this sentence is inevitably given some special psychedelic color.

That bright, dazzling rainbow color is constantly beating in the turbulent ancient waves. It is the sight of the sea god Charron and the breath of the deep-sea community with collective will.

The life force that is difficult to describe in words is nurtured in it. It constantly beats the rocks along the coast with the waves, and extends its footprints to the deepest part of the land with the circulation of the water body. It is like sowing seeds, born under the sight of the black sun. Miracles gradually spread to every corner as the rules of the world operate.

This is an extremely long process.

But compared to the eternal celestial body from the sky, this change appears extremely fast, almost in a short moment.

When the hunters in the Dark Abyss survived their long dormancy and once again set foot on their hunting grounds, they were surprised to find that in this world, there had already been existences that could confront them head-on.

The community born in the ocean also received new instructions from the Lord of the boundless ocean during this contact.

The footsteps of the family members should not stop at the junction of the land and the ocean. Since the creatures on land also enjoy the blessings of life originating from the ocean, they should also become a member of the community, and only when a powerful body of water fills the entire In this world, the eternal hunt initiated by the black celestial body can be completely contained.

Therefore, after surviving another "Great Hunt", the ocean finally declared war on the land.

Under Charron's invisible gaze, the raging waves crashed against the cliffs, and the all-pervasive seawater began to rise. They rushed to the land, to every rock, and to the territories of the dependents belonging to other so-called gods.

The confrontation between rats and sea beasts that Xiuge once glimpsed in the dream of the Earth Mother was just a short moment in this long war.

Charron and the ocean he lives in are so powerful. Under the never-ending power of life, countless individuals are connected to each other, and countless wills and thoughts are integrated. Those ferocious or elegant dependents are able to survive in this process. Get unlimited possibilities.

Devour, learn, evolve, evolve...

In front of this huge group of people with almost infinite possibilities and space, even the dark abyss had to avoid the edge for the time being.

"For a long, long time, the hunting initiated by the Black Sun was terminated. The majesty of my lord Charron was enough to frighten those terrifying shadows... They did not dare to regard this place as their hunting ground anymore. It can collect 'sacrifice' from those land groups to maintain its own strength."

In the words of the community messenger, almost everyone can feel its clear emotions.

These dangerous community dependents are proud of their past glory and yearn for their lost past.

"So, the ocean continues to move towards the land...At that time, every god and ethnic group on the land must make a choice."

"In order to thwart Charron's will, the land gods who used to devour each other were forced to stop their disputes and engage in meaningless confrontation with us."

"As for those ethnic groups, they either stayed away from the battlefield and established shelters in safe enough places, or they loyally followed their gods and fought with us... Of course, among the land walkers, many ethnic groups also made made the right decision.”

"That is to follow the ocean, seek the protection of our Lord, and help us advance towards the land..."

When saying these words, the group messenger's eyes passed through the thick glass barrier and fell on the members of the Van En Magic Society and Frey Meyer. After examining it, he used the mouth of the representative of the Sea Tribe to say something that stunned everyone present.

"Mel...the person the land walkers follow."

"She is one of them. She is the land agent chosen by my Lord. She should have been the key to the ocean spreading all over the world. She should have become one of us..."

"Yet she became a traitor."

…

Just like other members of the association, Shuge's consciousness was suspended in the sky above this boundless ocean illusion.

The dark abyss magic power in the body is surging at a steady rate, and the black sun above the head seems extremely distant. The messenger in the mirror and the palace hound peek upwards in confusion through Shuge's eyes, and the look is obviously similar to Theseus's. Some related black masks rise and fall within the mist of the Dark Abyss.

It seems like some wonderful changes are taking place.

There were faint fluctuations coming from the void. The host of the gathering, Kezlov, was using this huge illusion to transmit a large amount of information to the wills that were also in it.

The general condition of the Watch City defense line, the key defense lines that need to be adjusted and made up, the scarce personnel types, the mobilization of materials and armaments...

Such plans that should have been stated directly in ordinary meetings are now directly poured into the minds of each corresponding person in the form of detailed pictures and text.

Shuge, who shouldered the identity of Baron Ferlando, was naturally no exception.

Under the blessing of the Black Sun Mystery, Kezlov's will became strong and sharp. It was like a carving knife, carving a message directly into Xiuge's head.

And that was exactly the task that Kezlov wanted to assign to the Baron.

"The association needs to conduct a detailed search around Watch City. You will be the main commander of this task, and I will be its first person in charge. You only need to report directly to me, and the rest of the people and arrangements will be made. No need to pay attention."

"I ask you to build the Yanhu Mine into a search base within five days, and search several possible hiding places for spies and secret agents. This is the association's trust in you - now, you are the only one who truly As the core member who has been exposed to those infiltrators and is still alive, Ferlando, I want you to take on this important responsibility."

"There is no need to worry about manpower. As long as the request is within a reasonable range, I will try my best to satisfy you. You can also dispatch the Asalu, Dark Dog and other creations in the area to a certain extent."

"Your most important goal is Shuge Ernst... Shuge Ernst of the Dawn Society. Find him as much as possible, whether alive or dead."

A series of words were imprinted in Xiuge's mind. These commands themselves contained amazing magic power. If Xiuge hadn't set up a magic barrier in advance and his own mental strength was high enough, I'm afraid he would be like those present. Like everyone else, they were completely marked by Kezlov and turned into pawns that he manipulated and dispatched.

In terms of surface work, Xiu Ge is naturally done very well.

In the face of these terrible mental instructions, he showed 100% obedience and loyalty, and after confirming that Ferlando had accepted his instructions, Kezlov withdrew his will with satisfaction.

Now that instructions and plans, large and small, have been passed on, the next step is the grand gathering of the association.

Everyone present will witness with their own eyes a true lost history.

For members who have already joined the association, its effect is relatively limited, but for those officials who have not yet completely gotten rid of the influence of the "false gods", these shadows of the past with powerful power can completely reverse their thinking and make them They really get involved in the business of the association.

Then the waves began to surge, and the colors that once belonged to Charron emerged from the deepest depths of the ocean.

Xiuge wanted to take this opportunity to take a closer look at these past scenes, but at this moment, the black mask that had been floating in the mist of the dark abyss suddenly trembled, and then, a familiar voice called Xiuge. rang in Ge's mind.

"Well... they're really good at doing these things. It's still rough, but it's good enough."

Shuge was stunned for a moment, because that was the voice of Theseus.

Just like when he left before, Theseus still used a female voice, and she sounded very lazy, as if she was lying on a chair at this time.

Of course, what's hidden under this laziness is probably weakness and exhaustion.

"You need to speed up... It won't be long before the residents of St. Steele's land will fall into the arms of those gods, and what awaits them next is a deeper transformation, just like you did before The same as those members of the association that I saw."

"Transcend the pure physical state, dedicate your spirit and thoughts as sacrifices, and finally let yourself transcend the original limitations and become a dependent of those lost beings."

"If it really comes to that point, I'm afraid the weapons and means you have now won't be enough to deal with it."

Xiuge wanted to ask about Theseus' situation, but before he could speak, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Theseus: "Don't speak in a hurry, you'd better keep your mind stable now...their secrets Yi is completely different from before. If you don't want to waste all your efforts, then stay quiet and listen to me."

The voice in his mind breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and then Shuge heard Theseus say: "The recovery and spread of the Color of Life are a bit too fast. This is probably because some people in the Black Sun Society successfully found The key to catalyzing them.”

"Whatever the specific situation is, you have to explore it yourself. Likewise, you have to speed up... If you don't want to see Charron coming again, then it's best to speed up."

Hearing this, Xiuge couldn't bear it anymore.

"When Charron returns, isn't He expelled?"

A sneer came from the depths of the spiritual world, and then Xiuge heard the lazy voice say: "For these special beings, expulsion has many meanings... It can be complete annihilation and engulfment. , or it can be a short-term blockade and isolation.”

Her voice paused slightly, and then she added: "Of course, it can also be the destruction and erosion of the source of its power itself."

"Well, look down. Although these scenes are not accurate, they can also answer some of your confusions."

Following Theseus's words, Xiuge cast his gaze downwards, and he saw that within the turbulent colors of the rainbow, sea beasts of various shapes gradually emerged. What surprised him was that he Some of the strange fish that we had glimpsed in the "Dream of the Giant Ship" before and some of the strange beasts that we encountered while aboard the Windless One were also among them.

Shuge saw that this boundless army, completely integrated with the waves, was advancing towards the coast.

On the coast, the battle was already underway.

He saw that a small number of sea beasts were mixed with soldiers of various races such as humans, elves, and ogres. They were not enemies, but allies who relied on each other to fight.

Those currently fighting this mixed team are groups of rats belonging to the Earth Mother Goddess, as well as many weird families who have no idea which beliefs and gods they belong to.

A huge falcon with horns and many narrow pupils on its wings, a giant lizard covered in scales and as big as a hill, a burly humanoid shape made of a large number of vines... They are constantly fighting with those The rats gathered together and frantically launched round after round of attacks towards the defense line close to the sea.

Among the defenders, there was a figure that stood out.

The blue waves surrounded her like a ribbon, and familiar and unfamiliar invisible forces kept jumping around her. Xiuge recognized this figure.

She had appeared in the rats' dreams, fighting alongside the sea beasts.

Shuge also saw her in the fragmented memories belonging to Theseus. At that time, she was the leader of countless races that were not favored by the land gods, and the true leader of that huge tribe.

She was Mel, the later goddess of magic.

And next to this figure who is constantly using various ancient magics to fight, there is another shadow active, which is an ever-changing black shadow.

Sometimes it turns into a slender rope and a poisonous snake, spreading the deadly black mist to the enemy group, sometimes like a poisonous sharp blade, piercing those dangerous and huge targets on the spot, and sometimes it turns into a concrete object. Humanoid or other forms, return to Mel's side to protect him.

"Did you see it? That's me...well, although it's not completely consistent with the actual situation, it's not wrong overall."

Theseus's voice came over slowly: "Well, that's me and my mentor."
