Chapter 800 The Beginning

Selena stared at Gao Wen for a long time, as if she wanted to see through this "outdoor wanderer" from the unknown domain wearing a human shell.

But she couldn't see through anything.

Because she was just a visual illusion projected when Gao Wen took the initiative to let go of part of his superficial consciousness. She could only see what Gao Wen wanted her to see, and she could only hear what Gao Wen wanted her to hear, just like the dilemma of the Eternal Midlander Cult Group:

There is no choice but to be controlled by others. Even if you talk about "conditions" at this moment, you are just showing your attitude at best.

The out-of-domain wanderers promised that they would not go on the path of gods in the future, and that if one day they broke their promise, the covenant would be invalid. But Selena herself knew that no one could testify to this verbal promise, and man could not, nor could God.

All she and her compatriots could believe was the credibility of the "person" of the extraterritorial wanderers.

Gao Wen didn't know what Selena was thinking, but he could probably guess one or two. After a moment of depression, he shook his head: "You don't have to be so wary of me, you are all too nervous. I may come from a place you don't understand, a group you don't understand, but during this journey, I am just an ordinary traveler.

“I hope to establish cooperation with you because I think the upper narrators are a threat, and your Sleeper Order...is more or less worthy of being pulled.

"So relax and treat this as a cooperation between people, and your nervousness will be much better."

Speaking of this, he deliberately paused for a moment before saying as if he was casually lit: "In addition, you came to see me in person today. In addition to conveying such a message, there should be something else to say to me, right?"

Selena's expression seemed to remain unchanged, but her eyes suddenly became deeper when she looked at Gao Wen. After a brief consideration, she nodded indeed: "I have some questions, I hope I can get an answer here."

"Ask, if I know."

"You said you came to this world to fulfill a promise," Selena asked very seriously. "Is this promise... related to Gowan Cecil seven hundred years ago?"

"Yes." Gao Wen nodded calmly.

"This promise...is to help Gauvin Cecil save the kingdom he once established? Is to help all living beings get rid of the shackles of gods? Is to lead mortals through the tide of demons?"

Gao Wen faced Selena's scrutiny gaze. He thought, but finally shook his head: "I'm not sure."

Selena suddenly opened her eyes wide: "Are you not sure?"

"I'm not sure," on this issue, in front of Selena, Gaowen did not make up a lie that would be difficult to make up for in the future, but chose to guide the topic under the premise of telling the truth. "I seem to have forgotten some key memories, which may be some kind of protection... But I know that I made a deal with Gaowen Cecil, who exchanged his soul for me to come to the world, so I came-

"After waking up, I saw the world in chaos, the ancient land sinking in chaos, people are threatened by internal and external civilization boundaries, the kingdom is terminally ill, and all this is very unfavorable for me to enjoy life safely, so I did what I wanted to do - what I did is exactly what you are talking about.

"I'm not sure if these things are the content of the transactions back then, but I've become increasingly feeling recently... what I'm doing should be what I promised back then, or... it was what Gowen Cecil believed when he was doing the transaction."

Selena looked at Gao Wen steadily, with some surprise in her eyes and some unexplained relaxation. Finally, she blinked: "You are more straightforward and honest than I thought."

"Otherwise? What should be the extraterritorial wanderer in your mind?" Gao Wen smiled, "With some kind of divinity? As hard and cold as steel and stone, lacking in sensibility?"

"Absolutely," Selena seemed to have a smile on her face, "So, you have forgotten the details of the "deal" with Gowan Cecil, and you don't remember why he made that "deal" with you?"

"I don't remember it in general, but recently some vague fragments emerged," Gao Wen said, his eyes falling on Selena, "For example... I know you have something to do with it."

Selena's eyes were calm and she was calm in front of Gao Wen's gaze.

"You should be able to see that I inherited the memories of Gowen Cecil and inherited a lot of them. In one of the memories, there was his experience of calling Dragon Fjord to go out to sea. In that special memory, I realized your power.

"So I'm sure you've been involved in that thing, you know that deal, so you should have known about my existence, and today's conversation between us made me more and more confirm this.

"You said you have some questions and hope to get answers from me. Just right now, I also have some questions - can you answer them?"

Gao Wen smiled gently and asked calmly and kindly as if he was an old friend.

He had already shown enough of the majesty of the "outer-domain wanderer" in the last meeting venue, but it was mainly displayed to the uninformed Eternal Sleeper believer. Selena Gerfen in front of him was half an insider. In front of her, Gao Wen decided to reveal his "humanity" side slightly to weaken the "informer"'s vigilance and avoid unexpected troubles.

The starlight outside the window intersected with the lights, and the magic crystal stone lamp behind her exuded a warm and bright light. Selena stood beside Gao Wen, bathed in this light that shone in thought, and seemed to be recalling. It took her a long time to break her silence.

"Everything changes at the peak of the ancestors. It is the beginning of everything, the beginning of the three sects falling into darkness, and the beginning of that long voyage..."

"Ancestor Peak?" Gao Wen heard the words that surprised him, "What do you mean is that Gowan Cecil's voyage back then is related to the Ancestor Peak?"

Selena nodded slightly: "Since you have inherited his memory, you must be very aware of the ceremony held by the Dream Church, the Storm Church and the Holy Spirit Druid on the Ancestor Peak, right?"

"I know that it was the attempt to communicate with gods that caused the three churches to be contaminated by gods, and thus the birth of the three major dark sects that followed - part of this conclusion comes from the memories I inherited, and part of it is the result of my long investigation since I woke up."

Selena nodded again. Instead of tangling more in the history of the two people, she continued: "That incident destroyed the three righteous gods and also had a huge impact on other churches and several human kingdoms that had not yet established a foothold at the time.

"The three major sects that were polluted at that time fell apart. Witnesses at the Ancestor Peak either fell into madness or died on the spot. Those who survived were all at a loss, no priests from other churches who had established a connection to faith, and those who were located outside the Ancestor Peak and who had no direct participation in the ritual. No one could tell the outside world what happened at that time, and no one knew what exactly caused the terrible pollution and collective frenzy.

"After that, in order to calm people's hearts and to explain the phenomenon of the loss of divine arts, other sects have announced the so-called "oracles" to the public, claiming that the gods reciprocate the mortals and have brought down new sacred laws. The three sects, including the Dream Church, were exiled and fell into darkness because of their rejection of oracles. However, this is a statement used to calm people's hearts and cannot convince everyone, and it cannot be concealed that those who are more familiar with the top leaders of the church and have a better understanding of the operation of the sect...

"Many people became curious about what happened on the Ancestor Peak and conducted investigations again and again, including Gauvin Cecil."

Speaking of this, Selena turned her head and looked at Gao Wen quietly, who fell into memories. After searching for some key memories, Gao Wen said thoughtfully: "I have an impression that shortly after that incident, 'I've been there, but 'I've only seen the abandoned ritual field, the frenzied priest destroyed everything there, and no clue was left..."

He had habitually equated "Gaven Cecil" with himself in his conversation, and from time to time he would call himself the latter. Selena obviously noticed this, but she didn't say anything about it, just asked back: "Did you really find nothing? Have you really only seen an abandoned ritual field there?"

"I remember..." Gao Wen flipped his inherited memory scenes in his mind, recalling how Gao Wen Cecil went to the Ancestor Peak to explore the truth seven hundred years ago. Slowly, he frowned, "No, I'm not sure, some pictures are discontinuous."

It was not until this time that Gao Wen realized that he still had an undetected memory loss!

He subconsciously looked at Selena: "Is this memory your move?"

"...Yes," Selena hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. "I helped him clear many memories as Gowen Cecil told him, but I didn't know what these memories were - he said that those memories were very dangerous. If one person knew it, it would push the whole world one more point towards the abyss that would never be restored, and in the end they had to be cleared, so it would be better not to spy from the beginning."

"...I believe you," Gao Wen said slowly, "Then let's go on, Gao Wen Cecil went to the Ancestor Peak to investigate the truth. What might he find, and then? What happened after he returned from the Ancestor Peak?"

"He found us," Selena said.

"He found you?!" Gao Wen was a little surprised, "How did he find you? Especially you, how did he find you? After all, you had already..."

"It seems that you have fully grasped my 'situation', including the fact that I had become a soul body seven hundred years ago," Selena smiled, "To be honest, I still don't understand... After returning from the Ancestor Peak, Gowen Cecil's state was very strange. He seemed to have suddenly gained some kind of 'insight' ability, or some kind of 'revelation'. Not only did he set up defense lines in an almost foreseeable way and repelled several attacks of the aberrants, he also easily found several secret hiding places built by the survivors of the Storm Church and the Dream Church - even if these hiding places are located in the deserted mountains and forests, even if Gowen Cecil did not send any spies, even the humans at that time did not know the existence of those 'wild mountains and forests... He could find them.

"He first found the storm priests who were still rational, asked them to prepare for the big ship to go to sea for him, and then found the dream priests who were hiding, hoping to get mental protection, and hope that we can help him clear some memories...

"As you know, I was...dead, but my soul survived in a special way. I was attracted by the plan of Gowan Cecil, and driven by curiosity, I had a dream conversation with him..."

"I don't know these," said Gao Wen. "It seems that I have a lot of missing memories. What have you all talked about?"

"He said he was going to take a chance," Selena said slowly, "he said he knew what we had gone through, what horrible things we saw on the Ancestor Peak, and he said he had a way--not necessarily succeed, but at least it would bring a glimmer of hope."

Gao Wen frowned: "What's the specific one? He didn't explain it to you more clearly?"

"That's all," Selena said, "he couldn't say it too clearly, because some things... the moment they say it means they will attract the attention of certain existences. You should also be very clear about this."

"...Well, I understand your concerns in this regard," Gao Wen exclaimed, "Then because of these unclear words, you and the Storm Sons decided to risk helping Gao Wen Cecil to complete that voyage?"

"Yes." Selena nodded slowly and said calmly.

Gao Wen couldn't help but be curious: "Why?"

Selena looked into Gao Wen's eyes and whispered after a long time: "Do you know the feeling of being desperate if you wander around the world?"
