Chapter 253 The lonely past (2)
The warrior named Hall committed suicide.
Just after he successfully used the spear to penetrate the world and fulfilled the people's expectations of him.
Just after he felt the first ray of light shining into this world.
Just after the people cheered for his victory.
He fell from the highest point of the Tower of Babel. No one could catch him, and there was no possibility that he could survive.
This scene was clearly seen by everyone. It was even more eye-catching than the few meteors seen by the first members of the [Redemption Society] a hundred years ago.
Why did the man who could welcome the light first choose to fall from the sky?
No...wait...
Soon, the first priest discovered something was wrong. There should have been only a crack in the sky, but at this moment it kept expanding, like a gap in the dam being opened. At this moment, it could no longer resist the flood inside.
But the priests are not sure, because people who yearn for light still occupy the vast majority of positions in the world, and only a few priests still believe in darkness, and there are only a handful of them.
But although they can't say anything, they can take action.
The light spread very quickly. Just as the crowd was hesitating, the beam of light had slowly spread from the Tower of Babel and quickly found the people stopping below.
"..."
From the moment they were exposed to these lights, they understood.
Why did Hall choose to end his life, and why did the cracks in the sky continue to expand.
But it was already too late. As more and more light appeared in the sky, the world seemed to be lit up. At the same time, various plants that originally grew on the ground began to wither.
The land has not changed significantly yet, but all plants illuminated by the light will quickly wither and turn into black-gray powder in just a few dozen seconds.
People who saw this situation could no longer maintain their forced composure. For them, these plants were food, and their survival was based on these plants growing on the ground...
Of course, there are animals, but as the first sheep illuminated by the light falls to the ground, people have given up hope.
Light, the light they have been waiting for for a long time.
After coming to this world, the first gift it gave to people was to destroy the foundation of human existence.
It was not until this time that people's delusions about light were completely destroyed.
The several priests who had left the scene long ago and returned to the location of the ancient totem were not surprised at all by this situation. In other words, this outcome had been doomed since humans began to try to break the sky.
They were born in darkness. If they want to embrace the light, they should not abandon the darkness itself and worship the light so much.
Just like Hall...
He is the most powerful person in this world, but he is also the first person to die.
To this day, they can only find ways to patch up the sky and make up for the mistakes made by humans.
...
The efforts of the priests were not in vain. They finally found a way to repair the barrier in the remaining darkness.
Once the barrier is damaged, external forces will flow into this world, and the originally independent laws, spaces, creatures, etc. here will be affected.
As time goes by, the best-case scenario is that the creatures in this world adapt to the conflict between external forces and achieve a balance. The worst-case scenario is that this world is eroded, and all the native creatures in it will suffer as a result.
destruction.
But this is not unsolvable.
As long as you are fast enough and build a new formation to resist the outside atmosphere before the laws of this world collapse, you can prevent the invasion of the outside world.
The priests were very smart, and they immediately thought of the "Tower of Babel" they had built with all the efforts of mankind. With its height, it could serve as the eye of any formation, and all they needed to do was use it as the core.
, build more towers around to carry power.
People didn't hesitate when they heard there was a solution, or in other words, they didn't think much about anything else before the threat of death.
In the end, one tower after another was built, and the people in this world successfully cast the formation and resisted the invasion from outside the world.
But it is a pity that hundreds of years of hard work have completely depleted the foundation of this world's civilization. After all this was completed, the first few sacrifices passed away one after another, and the last wise men also passed away.
...
The content recorded in the earth veins ends here. At this moment, the light in the sky and the darkness on the ground have reached an almost perfect balance.
On the high tower, Ningzhe and Daiin had read all the contents completely, and they had different expressions at this moment.
Seeing the development history of this civilization, how it was born, how it prospered, and how it destroyed itself...Daine seemed to have thought of something that made him feel familiar.
Ningzhe, on the other hand, focused on the words "this world" and "erosion from the outside world".
erosion?
He had already guessed that this place was not Teyvat, but another small world. After all, the ground lines of the two places were different.
But from now on, it seems that this place was once part of Teyvat, and was forcibly intercepted by some force, forcing it to form an independent small world.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to rely on barriers to protect this world from being eroded by the outside world.
"According to the words of those sacrifices, the darkness and light in the current world have formed a harmonious situation... Then do we still need to rebuild the formation to prevent this world from being eroded by the light?"
Looking at the sky, the darkness and light blend into one, like a beautiful picture, enough to be decorated with perfection.
Obviously he just used the power of the earth's veins to release the contents of the records, but the moment he released these records, the light and darkness that were still devouring each other stopped, as if they had stopped.
Is this the most perfect harmony?
Why could he crack the method so easily that even the priests couldn't think of?
"...It's really strange, why do I always feel that some places have been ignored?"
Looking at the map of earth veins in front of him, Ningzhe murmured to himself.
"..."
While Ningzhe was thinking, not far away, Dain seemed to have come to his senses. He glanced at the sky one last time, and then took back all his power.
The enemy he imagined did not appear. The Abyss Cult really noticed something and left early... But because of this, they missed what was recorded in the earth's veins here.
How similar...
[From outside the world, we obtain the power to deny the world].
