Chapter 6 Transcendence
"Praise the sound of truth, may the sound of the valley echo forever."
"Praise the lightless moon, and wish that the light that looks outward will shine on the world."
The next morning, seven people appeared outside the Echo Temple in the middle of the town. Yesterday's conversation went very smoothly because the news was so tempting.
Legend is the pinnacle of mortals, the only bridge to the realm of demigods, and a goal that every warrior dreams of but unattainable.
Since it is the pinnacle, the number is naturally sparse. The total population of the entire Pavatiga tribe is close to one billion, but the legendary powerhouses will not exceed three hundred, and at least fifty of them are priests.
The proportion of legendary strong men of the priest is the highest among all combat professions, because most of the legendary strong men in the priest use their divine power to forcibly improve their strength and enter the legendary field. Not only do they have no hope of reaching the height of a demigod for life, but their combat power will always be slightly weaker than other legendary strong men. Only by borrowing divine power can they reach the level of a true legendary strong man.
Apart from the priests who have ripened their priests and relying on their own strength to break through the legendary barriers, Pavadiga has only more than 200 people. The number is enough to prove how difficult it is to be promoted to a legend.
To be promoted to a legend, you not only need lifespan, strength, but also luck. No matter how strong the golden-level warriors are, if they cannot find an opportunity, they will never have the chance to be with the legend. Therefore, these golden-level strong men who are stuck outside the legend barriers will always participate in some dangerous battles frequently and try to see the path to promotion in the crisis. Unfortunately, there are still few successful people, because everyone's path is different. According to legend, some people are successfully promoted by just sleeping on other people's legs, while some people fight for life, and they are still at the golden-level if they die.
Therefore, the opportunity to be promoted to the legend is what every golden strong man who has not given up yet is most looking forward to. Many people pay no cost for an opportunity.
Suer's teammates are of course no exception. Suer accepted this task that sounds like no way out because he knew everyone's thoughts and hoped to go further. And it was abnormal that not only did he not persuade his friends not to risk participating, but instead encouraged and tempted everyone to participate, because after accepting the task, he might not be able to successfully advance. Maybe everyone will die in the task, but if he missed the task, everyone will regret it for life.
As soon as the final reward was released, no one could continue to be reserved, so the following things became much simpler. I briefly introduced the task goals and processes, and everyone dispersed and silently looked forward to the arrival of the next day. Although Shuer's explanation was simple, no one questioned the process of going to another world, because this was no longer a category that ordinary people could consider. Naturally, there were other people who handled it well for everyone. If it was not handled well in the end, then they could only use life as the price of pursuing strength.
The seven people arrived very early, but the door of the temple opened earlier. The Archbishop of the god of echo Osor had already received the instructions from the oracle and had been waiting at the door of the temple early to await the arrival of these shadow-seekers. The two priests exchanged a little greeting and took everyone into the temple together.
Although the main hall of Echo Temple is located in the closed mountains and the transportation is inconvenient, and there are not many believers who believe in Osor and their strength is very weak among the gods, its church is quite large. Almost all cities and towns have worship halls of Echo Temple.
Echo will not lie, it will truly reproduce every word you say. Therefore, although Osor is only a god of the Lord of the Mountains, his duty is to be the messenger of all the gods in the temple of the gods, responsible for conveying public information to the gods in normal times. Because of this clergy, he became the only god among the gods whose power can penetrate any barrier and penetrate into other worlds without causing the world to backlash. Of course, doing so will not only consume the great power of the gods and pay a lot of price, but also have strict restrictions and will not be used easily.
This time, I don’t know what the Lord of the Sky promised, but he actually successfully invited the God of Echo. Only he could use his divine power to protect the souls and bodies of these shadow-seekers from being transformed into nothingness as soon as they passed.
"Praise the Dark Moon, thank you." Echo is a very mysterious thing. The Archbishop who serves the God of Echo is also very mysterious. He is wrapped in a holy robe all day long, and his face is covered with a hood, so he can't see clearly. "Since that day, the townspeople have never complained that they are disturbed by the roar of wild animals and cannot sleep well."
"Ha, you are so embarrassed to say that such a troublesome task actually allows us to work for free. I have been keeping this account for several years." Shuer curled his lips, "It's hard for those mountain people. In the outside world, it's not just about complaining that we can't sleep well."
"Although not all of us are devout believers of our Lord, they are all kind people." The Archbishop said with some meaning, "Even if he complains, he would not want her to know."
"So you are all here to find you? Haha, you are so busy. No wonder you forgot to even negotiate the reward."
"There is no way, who made me both an archbishop and a mayor?" Yes, this town was originally built by the Echo Temple, and it was also supported by the God of Echo God. It was able to cover such a large area only if it occupies very little power in the heart of the city. Since the establishment of the town, the Archbishops of the Echo Temple have served as the mayor of the town. Well, maybe not the poorest temple, but probably the poorest one is the mayor of the town. "Anyway, we don't have much money, at least the main hall does not. If you really want to pay, we will be more focused during the ceremony for a while."
"Is there any difference between focusing or not focusing?"
"No, at all, it is dominated by the divine power of my Lord. We are just carriers of divine power. Do you think whether the props used in the ritual are focused will have an impact on the results?"
"Tsk, this damn honesty."
Echo never lies, so Echo attendants never lie, and they can selectively disclose information. For example, when Serena was about her back then, the Archbishop hid her true identity, but he must not tell lies. This is a restriction of the rules and there is no room for maneuver. Therefore, Shuer was more at ease to hand over the rituals of life to these people. Since they said it was okay, it would be fine and would never deceive them with lies.
But being too honest also has its disadvantages. If you talk to them, you will always feel powerless.
"Oh, please follow me, I'll take you to the place where the ceremony is held."
Following the Archbishop into the Echo Temple. With the aura of the mountain, the temple looks very imposing on the outside, but as soon as it enters the interior, it will be found that it is actually very simple. The rough stones used locally and the wood cut off in the mountains are treated as building materials and furniture materials without any decoration. All facilities seem to be done by hand by themselves, and even the candles are made of the oil from the prey of the townsmen. The Archbishop said that the temple has no money at all, which is really true.
"Brother." Seeing all this, Shuer held the Archbishop's hand in tears and said choked, "Let's encourage each other, wuwu."
Not to mention this idiot who has been driven crazy by poverty, the ceremony preparations of the Echo Temple are still very serious. All the priests in the General Hall gathered in the ceremony hall with a solemn expression. There are more than twenty, seven or eight times more than a poor temple. It is so sad.
In the middle of the ceremony hall, a huge magic array was drawn, covering almost the entire hall. This was the first time that the shadow chasers had seen such a large scale and such complex content. Even Mia, who is most proficient in magic arrays, could only understand one-tenth of the magic array. The others felt dizzy when they saw it, which shows how complex it was. I guess these priests had started preparing a month ago to complete the drawing of the magic array in time.
"This magic circle is said to amplify the power of the divine. We will stand up later, relying on the power of the Lord of Echo, using a projection of another world that is close to the world of Pavatiga but has not been formed as a springboard, and with the opportunity of weak both sides of the space barrier, we penetrate into the source world of another world projection. This process is very fast, and we should not feel any changes, and the process is completed."
"After the past, the Lord of Echo will continue to use his divine power to protect our bodies and souls, which can ensure that we are not rejected by space, but this is the limit. Once we encounter danger, we have to rely on ourselves to fight. In addition, due to different worlds, my magic will be severely weakened and my combat power will definitely be reduced. At that time, everyone should adjust their habits and don't have problems with overestimating my combat power."
The priests of the Echo Temple were still busy preparing, and Shur took this opportunity to whisper to explain in detail to everyone: "Time is one month. After one month, no matter whether we succeed or not, the Echo Lord will force us back to Pavatiga. Therefore, when the time is approaching, you must pay attention and finish everything you should do. If you really think of something temporarily, you will not have the chance to complete it."
"I have a question." Militi's eyes were puzzled, "You obviously came in with your target, that is, what is probably the world opposite the Lord of Sky. This is a bit exaggerated. Although you can infer through projection in another world, even if the gods are not in contact, they cannot understand the situation inside through the projection gate. But the Lord of Sky not only knows what is inside, but also knows that there is an opportunity for us to advance? You have not been deceived."
"Master Saimen didn't know what was inside. He just knew the problems that bothered him and the Gilceles family. There could be solutions inside, just like he knew we could find opportunities for breakthroughs inside."
"Hiss, prophecy?" Several teammates took a deep breath.
"Well, and I'm afraid there are only two adults, knowledge and wisdom, who can make such a clear prediction."
