In the center of the disobedient courtyard shrouded in chaos, a huge golden oak tree stands majestic like a small castle. The faint glow surrounding the golden oak tree dispels the surrounding darkness. The magnificent canopy is like a sky emitting glimmer, creating a "paradise" with light and vitality in the depths of this shadow world. In this disobedient land, the vibrant seedlings around the oak tree have gradually grown into scale, and various plants have flourished on the fragmented earth and extended to the place close to the gate of the disobedient fortress.

Even the crisscrossing and dangerous gullies on the ground have now been covered with clusters of vines and solid wooden bridges, becoming a way to travel at will.

Gao Wen stood in front of the golden oak tree, looking up in surprise at the plant in front of him, which didn't look like a plant that grew naturally. After turning his head to look at the holy deer beside him, Amoen had already contracted his body a lot, but for mortals it was still a huge body: "...so this is the 'small courtyard beautification' project you mentioned in the report? Have you planted another giant tree of reincarnation here?"

"No, this is just a tree, a tree that allows me to rest," Amoen said gently, as if he was proud. "For this period of time, I have been thinking about what to do after I gain freedom, some... more things that belong to me, and after thinking a lot, I found that I still like to take care of flowers, plants and seedlings. This has nothing to do with the 'priesthood' that once bound me, but a real preference."

Looking at the holy deer with a calm and quiet look in her eyes in front of her, Gao Wen couldn't help but ask: "Don't play cards anymore?"

Amoen's eyes lit up suddenly: "Try, now?"

Gao Wen: "…"

After a moment of embarrassment, Gao Wen coughed twice and changed the topic: "Cough, I just mentioned it casually... I have something to do today."

He raised his head and looked at the giant deer standing under the golden oak tree. Not far away, Milmina's figure was sitting on the ground leaning against the thick trunk of the golden oak tree. The air beside her was surrounded by a large number of constantly changing runes and numbers, and geometric figures that appeared and disappeared in time. She seemed to be closing her eyes and resting, but after sensing Gao Wen's gaze, she raised her eyelids slightly, nodded slightly to this side and showed a curious expression.

"We have just completed our exploration in the deep sea," after calming down, Gao Wen made his expression serious and said in a deep voice, "We boarded a spaceship left by the Departing One and entered the depths of the Kingdom of Gods."

"Milmina and I heard about this," Amoen lowered his head slightly, and his tone began to become serious, "What have you discovered?"

"We discovered the secret of the sentry," Gao Wen said straight to the point, and then his eyes swept twice between the two retired gods in front of him, "and your former kingdom of gods."

The light surrounding Amoen contracted a little at a glance visible to the naked eye, and Milmina, who was tilting her head around the corner from a distance, instantly supported her body. The eyes shrouded in the magic fog were slightly wide open, and a short and questionable cry came into Gao Wen and Amber's ears: "Ha?!"

"What we discovered on this trip will be far beyond your imagination, but before that, there is another urgent matter to be said." Gao Wen waved his hand and signaled several royal mages to come forward. At this time, Amoen's attention was on these "ministers" who came with Gao Wen. He saw that the human mages were carefully holding up a large ice crystal cube with their energy-shaping hands. Something seemed to be frozen inside the crystal clear cube.

"This is..." Amoen vaguely sensed a familiar breath from the depths of the ice crystal, but he could not guess at the time when the frozen vines and flowers came from.

"This is the real sisters of Firna and Lerna. We have found the essence of the 'sentinel' in the deepest part of the deep sea. It is a setter facility, an extremely large 'home port', and your main body of the Kingdom of God, the giant tree of reincarnation... and died on one of the ports of that home port," Gao Wen signaled the mages to remove the magical power filled with ice crystals, and explained the origin of this thing to Amoen. "Just as we were worried before, the 'Elf Gemini' that is now active in the wasteland is fake. Its true appearance is the artificial mind of the setter's home port. The real elves Gemini have been trapped in that home port for the past thousand years, and have lived for hundreds of years under the protection of the reincarnation giant tree..."

Gao Wen told his experience in the sentry home port in the simple and appropriate way possible. Amoen listened quietly to this incredible story. Even he could not help but widen his eyes slightly at this time. At the same time, several mages finally joined forces to lift the magic restriction left by Victoria in the frozen cube. The surface of the ice crystal that looked extremely hard and had not melted all the way seemed to be covered with a layer of white mist. Then in just a few seconds, the whole piece of ice melted and dissipated, and the vines frozen inside were held up by invisible magic and slowly landed on the grass around the golden oak.

"...This is what the Firna sisters turned into in the end," Gao Wen also briefly told the story of the elves Gemini. He pointed to the vines and the flowers of the trench on the ground. "I heard a voice in the ruins of the giant tree of reincarnation. Although no one else heard it, I think it was indeed the message conveyed to me by the giant tree of reincarnation. It asked me to take the sisters of Fira, so I will bring it to you."

Amber next to him looked up at Amoen who seemed to be in a daze: "Do you know what to do with this? They look like now..."

"I know." Before Amber finished speaking, Amoen spoke softly. He lowered his head slightly, and the pair of deer antlers with crystal texture on the edge gently touched the vines on the ground.

The next second, a little verdant glow spread, and the vine floated up lightly and wrapped around Amoen's antlers little by little! After a while, the leaves and branches on the vine seemed to have absorbed nutrients and began to stretch and extend as they could. The two pink and white flowers on the top of the vine quickly became energetic. They leaned on the top of the antlers and shook gently as Amoen raised his head.

Amoen narrowed his eyes at this moment. He turned his head slightly, as if listening to a sound coming from afar. After a long time, he nodded his head gently, and a smile seemed to appear on the corner of his mouth.

To be honest, Gao Wen himself couldn't figure out how he could see a "smile" from a deer face.

"I know, I know," Amoen said softly, and he sat down slowly under the golden oak tree, nodding and responding in a low voice, "It's really not easy for such a long time, it's okay, here you can rest... Me? Oh, it's okay, I don't mind, I always knew this plan, disobeying the fortress, yes, I'm here, in a sense, I'm the earliest participant in this plan, although it's been studied... It's impossible, it's not anyone, you're just doing the right and the only thing that can be done, just like I did back then..."

Amoen said softly, after a long time, it finally came to an end. His eyes returned to Gao Wen, who finally found an opportunity to speak without hiding the surprised expression on his face: "Who were you talking to? Are Philna and Lerna..."

"It's them, you can't hear them, but they're still there," Amoen said slowly, "Thank you for bringing them back."

Gao Wen listened to the unexpected news in surprise, and a hint of relief slowly appeared in his eyes. He couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect that no matter what, this was really good news. So can they hear me?"

"I can convey it for you," Amoen said, bowing his head, "but their souls are weak now and cannot maintain a 'talk' for too long."

"Don't worry, I just want you to convey my thanks," Gao Wen said solemnly, "Thank them on my behalf. This world has not been truly safe yet, but we have survived many crises. The information they left to the world will become the key to making this world overcome the next disaster. But now they can rest, and the subsequent things will be done by their successors."

Amoen nodded and whispered with Huateng, who was entangled on his antlers. After a while, the glimmer on his antlers gradually returned to dimness. The "God of Nature" let out a sigh and his eyes turned to Gao Wen: "They have expressed their gratitude to you, and now they are going to rest."

"Now we can discuss the crisis in the wasteland," Gao Wen said with a relaxed tone, and looked up at the "Goddess of Magic" sitting not far away. "Ms. Milmina, I have something I want you to see."

While speaking, he signaled that Amber activated the magic terminal he carried with him. As the projection crystal on the terminal was lit, a clear holographic projection immediately appeared in front of Amoren and Milmina. A cube rune device with an extremely complex structure, layer by layer was rotating in the center of the holographic projection. Around this device were several "rune layer plates" that were dismantled and displayed. A large number of intricate energy flow indicators made these decomposed structural diagrams look dizzy, but also marked all the secrets found by Cecil, Tifeng and scholars of the Silver Empire from this mysterious cube.

Compared to the paper report Gowen saw from Heti, this holographic projection presents a more complete and professional technical data. It is like a heavenly book to Amber, but for Milmina, who has "held all things", is familiar with all the runes and the secrets of magic flow in the world, and has recently made a huge breakthrough in the understanding of the essence of magic, the information revealed in this data is extraordinary.

"This is..." Milmina immediately leaned over. Due to the huge difference in body shape, when she came to Amber, she pressed down almost like a dark cloud. The pair of energy-filled eyes were full of energy with pure arcane sparks, "Where did this thing come from?"

"The Siren captured several such devices in the Deep Blue Channel, which were moving rapidly in the energy flow, and seemed to be in large numbers," Gowen nodded, "We suspect that this thing is related to the cultists in the wasteland of Gondor. In fact, I can almost certain that this thing is the 'sentinel' disguised as the elves of Gemini commanding the cultists to create and throw them into the Deep Blue Channel. No one knows what these cubes do, but I think if it were you... maybe some guidance."

"...Captured from the deep blue network... In this way, some of the structures in these rune arrays can make sense," Milmina said in a low voice with a thought in her tone, "Frankly, there are some things here that I don't understand very well. They are not the technology created by this season of mortal civilization, so they are beyond my cognition, but I can feel that... pure magic will undergo specific changes under the guidance of these rune arrays. This thing may..."

Her voice paused, as if she was making careful thoughts and judgments, and after a long time, she spoke uncertainly: "Maybe it was some kind of control device, if they were large enough and accurately put into certain nodes in the deep blue channel, they might even affect the internal dynamic cycle of the entire planet...I guess."

Milmina's words are very cautious. Obviously, the "starter component" contained in this cube has far exceeded this era, so that even the magic goddess, who is known as "controlling all things", dares not draw conclusions, but can only guess the role of this cube based on "feeling". However, the judgment she made is still crucial and is enough to arouse Gao Wen's further thinking.

Amber, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask: "What would happen if the Sentinel and those cultists controlled the Deep Blue Net Road?"

"Everything can happen, and absolutely nothing is a good thing," Milmina said seriously. "The Deep Blue Net is the 'power system' that runs through the entire planet, and it is more powerful, more extreme, and more threatening than power systems such as ocean currents and atmosphere. If they really control the operation of the Deep Blue Net, they may be able to create terrifying natural disasters at any point in the planet with a wave of their hand, tear apart the boundaries between the elemental world and the material world, open the door to the shadow world, and even... if these control devices are more effective, they can do something even more terrifying."

"This is not scary enough?! What is scary? Is it just blowing up the entire planet?" Amber suddenly widened his eyes, "Then will we lose all hope when we say so?"

"No, the situation is not so bad yet," Milmina shook her head gently. "I'm talking about if these cubes really have the functions I guess, and that the 'sentinel' has successfully completed all arrangements, then there is one thing that can be confirmed now, that is, the 'sentinel' plan is far from complete. According to my analysis, these cubes should be fixed at specific nodes to successfully react with the energy flow in the Deep Blue Channel, and they need to cooperate with each other to form a complete network to affect the 'planetary power system' as large as the Deep Blue Channel. According to the information Gao Wen mentioned earlier... these things are still transferring in the energy flow, and the Siren has destroyed at least several of the cubes, so I think the situation is not at its worst."

"But the situation may get worse at any time," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, looking up at Milmina's eyes, "Is there any way we can destroy this control system?"
