Transcendent Dawn

"Ms. Yue is a moody deity. She likes rituals composed of moon grass, seven-color flowers, and soul stones... Undead and undead creatures are all within the scope of his protection."

"He holds the River Styx, which is said to flow in the spirit world, a river that only the dead can enter... Believers believe that they can be reborn through the River Styx."

"In each of the world's largest churches, or the highest churches, the goddess will perform miracles, making the Styx appear in the world, and a real tributary will appear... All believers will put their bodies after death if the situation permits. Throwing into the tributary of the Styx, they believe that in this way they will reach the Goddess' kingdom and gain a new life."

"Styx River... the river that flows in the spirit world? I have never heard of it or seen it..."

Sulu had a sense of eye-opening, but at the same time was a little excited: "With the scale of this place, I am afraid that there is no church bigger than it in this world... Is it possible that Ms. Yue's branch of the River Styx is also nearby?"

Thinking of a large number of spirits invested in it, and thinking of his own attribute bar, Sulu had a hunch that maybe he could harvest a lot of experience there.

After all, through experiments and tests, he has become more and more convinced that the acquisition of experience points is related to the most essential "true spirit" of the soul!

"Check around, look carefully, you should find something..."

Sulu originally thought that this required careful investigation and searching.

Unexpectedly, behind the church, he found the 'Styx River Branch'!

Because this is a place for worship and sustenance for believers, it is not a hidden place, and there are even road signs.

But the 'Styx Tributary' that appeared was different from Sulu's imagination.

It is not in the shape of a river, but a huge lake!

This is an artificial lake made of pebbles and obsidian, forming a black and white pattern, surrounded by a circle of bones.

More importantly... it has dried up, and there is no trace of water in it.

"Styx?"

Sulu's inspiration was released, and no abnormalities were observed, even from the spirit world.

But he just didn't feel right.

Because the bones here don't seem to be worshiping, but seem to be running for their lives!

Most of them turned their backs to the direction of the lake, and some of them had run a long distance, but they were still dead on the ground, feeling like they died collectively in an instant.

And many people are absolutely extraordinary from the hardness and decoration of their bones!

He came to the lake, before a skeleton in armor.

This is one of the very few priests who did not escape, but faced the lake head-on. The bones left a last word with their fingers: "God... why did you abandon us? Send down the punishment of the Styx?"

The handwriting was deeply carved into the marble floor. Obviously, the deceased was a very powerful knight and had a lot of grievances.

But in front of the waves of the Styx, he is no different from ordinary people.

"God...Styx...abandoned?"

Sulu's inspiration was touched, as if he saw a scene.

It was an artificial lake that was boiling and noisy, and a large amount of water from the Styx River was pouring back and sweeping away. The extraordinary people around screamed and ran for their lives, but it was useless!

Death enveloped everything in an instant, even the worshiping crowd in the church was not spared!

"Is it Ms. Yue who manipulated the River Styx and harvested the believers here?"

Sulu is not a believer of the goddess, so he stared suspiciously at him directly: "If this is the case, it can explain why the death here is so 'clean', and there is not even a wraith left..."

Because all the spirits were recovered by the 'Styx'.

"Then why did you slaughter your own believers? Is Ms. Yue insane? Or have the believers here turned their backs on Him?"

Sulu couldn't think clearly, and didn't want to think about it.

"If the Styx River is still there, I can definitely find clues from the spirit world... So the only explanation is that after killing all the believers, Ms. Yue's will left this world, and the branches of the Styx River here are gradually drying up? "

Sulu felt a little regretful.

But after thinking about it, he sent a shadow figure forward, jumped into the bottom of the lake.

"It's safe! No traps!"

"It's really like... everything just disappeared."

"There must be secrets in the relationship between gods and spirits! But I can't get in touch with it... What's more, according to the information I got from the Ancient Snake Society and even myself, the seven righteous gods have been resisting the appearance of the same existence. From the legend, they will get Be sure to watch..."

Sulu sighed and walked to the side of the artificial lake.

There are also a large number of altars around here, with mottled and ancient traces, apparently used by previous believers for sacrifices.

According to the rituals in the scriptures, after the death of believers, the body needs to be carefully dressed, decorated with moon grass and seven-color flowers, and then placed on a small boat woven with thorn wood. After the prayer ceremony, the small boat is placed in the lake.

When the ceremony is over, the waters of the Styx will swallow everything, taking away the souls of the dead.

"If Ms. Yue really had faith for a long time in this world, and even drove the believers to build such a magnificent building... then the number of believers buried in water here may reach a terrible level. Among them, there are many professional..."

He jumped down to the bottom of the dry lake, and picked up a pebble.

On the property bar, a light curtain appeared and popped up:

【XP+3】

...

"really have!"

Sulu took a deep breath. Although the experience contained in this stone was very weak, he glanced around.

This is an incomparably huge lake. After it dries up, black and white obsidian and pebbles can be seen everywhere, almost converging into an ocean!

"It seems that I'm going to live here for a while."

Sulu smiled.

The reason why he explored various ruins was to open up another source of experience points.

And now, a rich 'warehouse' is in front of him!

"Sure enough... how could a world that once had the dawn of the gods lack experience points?"

Sulu clenched his fists excitedly, feeling as if the mouse had fallen into the rice warehouse.

"And the source of experience is indeed related to the true spirit!"

"Perhaps... Styx took away most of the spirit bodies, but the remaining 'dregs' alone are enough for me to harvest a large amount of experience and cross half of the legendary moat..."

Experience points not only exist in killing, but also in some ancient books and even strange objects.

Sulu believes that these items contain some 'true spirit energy'.

But here in Styx, the experience accumulated over time is quite terrifying!

It is even possible that what Styx took away was not the energy needed by the attribute bar, they remained and settled here!

He felt some impermanence in the world.

Unexpectedly, the black death society and Ms. Yue, who were regarded as enemies, helped him step over the legendary threshold instead!
