Chapter 160: The Age of Arcane and the Magic Web(1/2)
Youdao is to rebirth in one rebirth and to be familiar with it again. As the second time you enter the long river of time, you should take the initiative to enter the situation, while Amon is much calmer.
He can calmly accept that he is flowing upstream in the long river of time and calmly watch the changing colors around him.
Because of his calmness, he tried to use his eyes to "look" for the long river of time for the first time.
To say that this is a "long river", it is really just an adjective. In Amon's perception, it should be an endless vast darkness, with countless mottled light spots flashing and changing rapidly.
Because it was moving at high speed, he could not carefully observe the light spots, but in the flash, he could still see the changes of characters and scenes that were unfolding like a scroll, as if scenes were recorded.
Of course, there was not much time for him to experience it carefully. Atlantis's pan-consciousness had dragged them quickly toward a brightly colored spot.
I saw the "painting" in front of me expanding quickly, enlarging, and a familiar elongation came. When I came to my senses, everything in front of them had changed.
...
This is the era that Atlantis traced upwards. Ten thousand years ago, it was the period of the rule of the gods. What was first revealed before Amon and Fao was the mature form of civilization under the system of the gods.
There are opposing empires here, holy wars launched in the name of faith, and countless warriors are struggling to sacrifice their lives only for the spread of different doctrines.
There is a powerful church of gods here, and the secular kingship is worthless in front of the church. They lowered their high heads and prayed that the Pope bring a crown for them.
There are hidden sects, evil gods, justice and evil confrontations, shadows of death, fear of killing, and ubiquitous struggles, which force mortals to believe in a certain existence in order to obtain protection.
There are even more ignorant farmers, greedy merchants, corrupt nobles, attacking churches, and uninterrupted struggles for faith and ubiquitous friction among the gods.
Of course, there is also a prosperous magic civilization here. The magic nets compiled by the magic goddess Mistera are spread all over the entire plane.
It provides the gods with a more convenient faith network, reduces the difficulty of mortals to learn magic, promotes a significant increase in the number of mages, and ensures the prosperity of this profession.
While it also limits the height of mage growth, it undoubtedly represents Atlantis' most advanced productivity.
The popularization of magic net magic has led to the increase in the number of magic net mages, and even benefited the development of agriculture and the circulation of commerce. Enough food means that it can feed more mortals, and the gods have gained more faith and pious souls.
Everything, under the appearance of chaos and struggle, is everything that the gods want to see, which ensures the base of the population, maintains the vitality of the church and the endless stream of faith.
They finally brought Atlantis on the path they expected.
If there is no change, this pattern will last for countless years.
Perhaps empires can be destroyed, families can be destroyed, and even the church's spread of faith and control of various regions will change, but this form of civilization will not be shaken.
In the end, the gods will always be the winners of everything.
If something happens, it will always come suddenly inadvertently.
...
As the picture changed, Amon and Fao came to another terrible scene, which was the collapse of the Magic Net.
As the weaver, controller and maintainer of the magic net, the unique and great existence of Atlantis is even among the gods, and even among the well-deserved pyramid, the magic goddess Mistera lost her connection with her believers.
He fell!
The reason is unknown, and even the gods can hardly imagine why such a powerful god would fall?
But that's the result!
The direct consequence of the fall of the Magic Lady is the collapse of the Magic Net, the turmoil at the entire Atlantis rule level, the turbulence of elements, the collapse of the magic civilization built on it, and the short-term truncation of the Gods' faith network.
This was an extremely chaotic period, a dark moment in Atlantis' history that was comparable to the abyss damaging disaster. The old order collapsed without warning, while the new order was far from established.
Between the two, the mortals of Atlantis seem to have lost tomorrow and hope, and they are already accustomed to the existence of faith and the guidance of the gods.
But now, it's all gone!
After confusion and helplessness, it is betrayal, killing, death, resistance, chaos and turmoil spread throughout the entire plane, and it seems endless.
However, as long as civilization is not destroyed in a moment, it will always find a way out and a way. Although the collapse of the Magic Net destroyed the original order and the Magic Net magic system, it also relaxed the restrictions on those truly talented mages.
When a former legendary spellcaster contacted some existences outside the plane with his remaining spellcasting ability, a spellcasting method that did not rely on magic nets quietly began to spread in Atlantis.
They abandoned the original name of the wizard and called themselves the caster.
They no longer have the number of mages they once did, but standing on the wreckage of the mage system, they have unlimited growth ability and the right direction to move forward.
When the first floating mage tower that does not require the support of the magic net was established in the plane, it marked that the mortals of Atlantis had found a new way out.
...
The picture turned again, and when the aftermath of the collapse of the magic net gradually subsided and the power of the gods came to Atlantis again, they suddenly discovered that the whole world was under a new ruling order.
That was the era of the caster!
The gods were naturally unwilling to fail. They gathered the remnants of the church, mobilized the crazy believers, found the remaining imperial forces, let go of the contradictions, and united.
They even sent a legion of heaven.
Various legions of messengers from other worlds, originated from the once devout believers of Atlantis, walked out of the kingdom of God on the path of light.
At this moment, the power of the gods was unobstructed, but they were unable to turn the situation around in the end.
The alliance composed of spellcasters has obtained support from a powerful force outside the plane. They have established a war system with floating city as the foundation, mage tower as the node, and golemtroopers as the main combat power, which can reduce the dimensionality to attack every corner of Atlantis in a very short period of time.
In the end, they ended the Age of the Gods, and ended the chaos of Atlansti, creating a new era.
This is the Age of Austria.
However, for the gods, war is just a kind of means of theirs, and failure never means the end.
They are immortal beings, and time is not important to them, so they have enough patience and never care about temporary failures.
They gave up Atlantis' dominance and just waited patiently.
...
The picture turned again. It was countless years after the Age of Austria. After years of inheritance and development, Atlantis's Spellcasters Alliance gradually became stronger. Their exploration steps even went beyond the plane. The floating city could roam in the astral realm and the sea of chaos.
But they also became arrogant, proud, and relaxed their vigilance against the crisis.
Until one day, the elemental tide reached a turning point, and the elemental surging of Atlantis began to decline from extreme victory, and when it declined, a powerful existence covered in fog and a graceful and enchanting figure quietly descended.
The mist covered His body and the eyes of mortals. He ignored the natives of Atlantis and wandered out of the plane with a purpose.
It took him seven days to travel to every corner outside the plane barrier.
As an outsider, He just grabbed something out of thin air, as if he held something in his hand again.
Seven days later, He finally completed all his work, and then, somewhere outside the void, He never concealed his power. In the endless divine light, He shook his arms vigorously, like a fisherman fishing, and pulled up the "big net".
Then, keep tightening, tightening, and tightening again, as if you want to catch all the big fish in the fishing net.
The violent fluctuations finally attracted the attention of the Spellcasters Alliance. They mobilized the floating city to start to drive here, but when they arrived, the one had already left, leaving only endless aftermath of shock in the void, slowly eliminating.
The Alliance of Spellcasters attached great importance to this. They sent a team of thousands of teams led by the demigod spellcasters, led by dozens of professional and powerful spellcasters as the backbone.
But in the end, nothing was found.
In the corner where they did not pay attention, the exchange of elemental forces from the Chaos Sea and elements within the plane began to decrease sharply, just as the water flow upstream was built with a solid embankment, and the water sources downstream would only become less and less, until the dry riverbed and silt were exposed.
Atlantis, at this point, officially entered the decline period of elemental tides.
The Aufar civilization lost the cornerstone of their existence.
Of course, only Amon and Fao saw clearly that before leaving, the existence, casually threw the "line" in his hand into the Atlantis plane.
Just like the big net sprinkled by a fisherman, there will always be long ropes left to fix them somewhere, waiting for a certain day when you need to pull the net.
And Amon and Fao couldn't help but look after that place. They saw it, and saw that place.
It is a holy place recognized by all churches in Atlantis, the legendary place where the gods come.
That is the holy city, Jerusalem!
At this moment, the truth was revealed that even the author of a book had not understood.
The reason why the gods chose the "Sealing Element Tide" was actually to destroy a great era.
It is to end the anomaly era created by the spellcaster.
As the main body of the "Sealing Element Tide", it can even be said that the necessary condition is actually the remnant of the Magic Net.
Of course, all of this also points to the direction of Atlantis' final redemption, where the dam of the "seal element tide" is located, the "line" tied to the magic net.
That is the goal that Amon and Fao pursue.
That is the holy city, Jerusalem!
...
The story, even if it is ups and downs, has its end.
No matter how long the dream is, there are moments of awakening.
The next morning, deep in the dragon's nest, Amon returned from the nightmare world and sat in the bed for a long time.
His mind was full of stories that happened in this nightmare, so many that his thoughts were extremely complicated.
This nightmare trip, the amount of information he received was really too great. Not to mention the things he saw about the Age of the Ancient Times in the long river, let alone the battle between the Dragon Spear Knight Avani and the will of the Six-Armed Snake Demon Queen.
It was the book that contained the secrets of the gods and various mysterious knowledge that were enough to allow him to study it carefully for countless days and nights.
Shaking his head and throwing away all kinds of thoughts, Amon got up, left the bed, stretched his muscles and bones, and slowly walked into the study room beside him.
The study room is not big and round. In fact, it was specially opened when it was built, but it has just been laid out in the past few days.
To be continued...
