Along the way, there are a total of 36,000 steps to the ladder leading to the temple.

It symbolizes the supreme and received incense from countless believers in the past.

When he came to the temple hall, Xiu Yi could even see the traces of the knife and axe chopping here.

The brown lines told him that there had been bloody massacres here.

The hall is very spacious, with forty-two crystal holy pillars of different shapes standing around. These crystals are all made of magic crystals, and the writing is astonishing.

The gorgeous ornamental walls nearby are full of colorful totem carvings. Although many carvings are already monumental, they still exist under the influence of magic, telling the stories that happened here later generations.

There are thirty-six murals in total.

When Xiuyi came to the first mural, he saw a group of humans working hard in the fields, but their lives were poor and they had no food and clothing.

The second painting shows a mage chanting spells. It rains in the sky and plants grow lushly on the ground.

The third picture depicts the beautiful scenery of a harvest, and countless people are using magic to solve various problems, and the world is thriving.

There are also words engraved under each painting.

These words are very different from those that Xiu Yi once knew, but they are quite similar to the magic texts that you need to recite when using magic. Xiu Yi had some difficulty identifying them, some words could be recognized, while others could not be understood. He could only guess the meaning based on the picture and a few recognizable fonts.

"Father, what do these paintings represent?" Xu asked curiously.

"History, history about the rise of the Western Continent." Shuyi replied, pointing to the first painting and said: "About three thousand years ago, humans on the Western Continent were still living in difficult years."

Then he came to the second painting: "At that time, a great figure appeared, his name was... Eastbrook, and it seemed to be so. He discovered the power of magic and used it to benefit mankind. He used magic to seek rain, to make plants grow, and to let the people live a good harvest."

Xiu Yi looked at it one by one, telling the stories that happened here as he looked.

"People's lives have been improved, and they worship and admire the power of magic. They open up wilderness, irrigate the land, subdue monsters, build homes, and build brilliant magic civilization..."

"People believe that magic is the gift of gods, and everyone who can use magic is the darling of gods. So they gathered the power of the entire continent on this continent, the Holy Mountain of Michard, where the most powerful magic power, to build a brilliant temple to worship gods. All the high-level magicians in the entire continent are gathered here. They study magic here and lead the lives of mankind."

"In the process of pursuing magical power, people discovered that the world was not a single existence. So the temple began to try to open up the road to other worlds. In a great magic experiment, they concentrated a large number of magicians' powers to open up a space channel, and they finally succeeded. This made them very happy. In order to explore the unknown world, they sent a huge team of magicians to that world."

"On the other hand, the Western Continent itself is also undergoing huge changes. At first, people only used magic to improve their lives, but with the emergence of the magic class, humans have hierarchical differences, and nobles and civilians have emerged. Those who can use magic are born nobles and can enslave others, while those who cannot use magic are born civilians and can only be enslaved. Oppression arises, and the world begins to change. More and more civilian rebellions appear everywhere in the continent."

"Edric, the leader of a human rebel army, was the first person to discover the existence of Dou Qi. Through countless battles, he gradually mastered the tricks of Dou Qi's cultivation and application, and used this powerful force to fight with magicians. He taught the cultivation method of Dou Qi to his troops, making them a powerful armed force, and giving the magician a heavy blow to the battlefield."

"Edric and his army were invincible on the battlefield, which caused panic among the nobles. In order to save the defeat, they used negotiations as bait to invite Edric to the banquet. Edric led a small number of troops to the meeting, but ended up being attacked by a large number of magicians on the way, and Edric died bravely. But the rebellion did not stop. Banford, a new leader of the human rebellion army, continued to lead everyone to confrontation with the magicians and struggled for freedom and equal power. He invented alchemy and made magic no longer a patent for magicians."

"The rebel army finally won the final victory. Edric's son Emanuel killed Bamford and became the new leader of the continent. Emanuel personally led his troops to the foot of the Holy Mountain. Here, he used his powerful force in his hands to force the temple to recognize his dominance. Ten years later, Alex, son of Bamford, killed Emanuel, and fled to other continents with his loyal troops, and established his own country there."

"After Emanuel's death, the temple restored their dominance. In order to ensure that the mainland is no longer in turmoil, the temple re-established the rules so that the civilians will no longer be trapped in heavy slavery, so the mainland can rest and prosper and become prosperous again. The magical civilization of the Western Continent is at its peak at this moment."

"What people didn't expect was that at that time, the team that went to explore other worlds suddenly returned. When they went there, there were more than 300 people, but when they came back, there were only four people. But they were no longer the same people as they used to. These four magicians became extremely powerful, and at the same time became fierce and cruel. They started killing in the temple and were eventually defeated by all the magicians, but their powerful power shocked everyone. One of the magicians suddenly recovered after their death. He told everyone that it was a hellish world, full of chaos, violence and blood. There, there was no sunshine or warmth, and killing was the eternal theme."

"After that, in order not to cause panic to the mainland, the temple blocked the news and ordered that no one would be allowed to explore the unknown world from now on. At the same time, they began to try to establish a guardian system because the dead magician told the temple that the world... already knew the existence of human society. One day, they would open the space channel and come here. He called it... the Demon World."

"The guardian system is an attempt by humans to protect themselves. They look for powerful humans, give them magical power and powerful bodies, and give them immense power. Among all the guardians, Basgate is the most powerful being. He was the first person to become a sanctuary and discovered the power of the realm. The powerful body and mysterious magic made his life long and long. For hundreds of years, he became the most important guardian force in the temple. Whenever a rebellion occurred, he always charged on the front line. He became the incarnation of justice, a powerful representative, and was admired and worshipped by countless people. However, as time passed, Basgate began to get tired of all this."

"He saw too many human intrigues, deceitfulness, and insatiableness. He began to doubt what the meaning of protection is, and his mission of existence. He began to explore the meaning of life and longed to find the answer from different angles. So one day, he made a decision. He wanted to explore that terrible unknown world and see if he could find what he wanted from there."

"Basgate finally opened the door to another world, went to another world, and looked for the meaning of life's existence. The Guardian Basgate disappeared from the human world from then on..."

Xiuyi's voice stopped here.

Because Xu suddenly shouted: "Father! Are you talking about the guy with blue skin called Basgate?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Xu's face turned extremely ugly: "I've heard of this name from my mother."

"Who is he?"

Xu stared at the mighty and majestic man on the mural. He looked at it for a long time before muttering: "Lord of the Abyss, Basgate, the founder of the Legion of Death... Oh my god, he is actually a human."

"What did you say?" Xiu Yi was also shocked.

"I said... the abyss is the Demon Realm, father." Xu replied slowly: "They are the same world. My mother Rita was once one of the seven generals of the Death Legion."

The news brought by Xu was so shocking that it took Xiuyi a long time to digest it.

Whether it is the abyss or the demon world, it is actually just a human being's name to another world. Speaking of which, the name of the abyss is more in line with the real form of that world. There are areas where flames are burning, resources are poor, and life is extremely difficult to survive. In order to survive, killing and robbery have become a daily form. Those who cannot adapt can only be eliminated by nature.

The Demon World is a subjective judgment title for humans, because they despise the existence of this form of life and believe that they are barbaric and uncivilized creatures, and are not as noble as humans. However, it is undeniable that the abyss monsters are indeed much stronger than most lives in the human world. They grow in killing and are powerful in death, and each of them is a natural warrior trained through blood and fire.

In the abyss, the most famous one is the Death Legion, which almost swept and unified the entire abyss. Basgate was the first master of the Death Legion. But more than a thousand years ago, he suddenly disappeared mysteriously, and with him there was a powerful Death Legion unit.

Shortly after that, his successors Alders and Egmont became the new leader of the Death Legion, the new Lord of the Abyss. However, both Alders and Egmont were extremely afraid of Basgate. Because this guy was too powerful, his power had reached a height that later generations could not reach. They were afraid that one day Basgate would suddenly return, so these two Lords of the Abyss never dared to claim themselves as the deputy commander of the Death Legion.

For thousands of years, the Death Legion has only had the deputy commander and no commander of the Legion.

The magic dragon Rita was a member of the Death Legion later. She had never seen Basgate herself, only knew that he had horns on his head, had a hideous face, a red and blue skin, a tall figure, and a blazing flame all over his body, and had almost invincible power.

I believe that if she was here, she would be shocked to hear that the terrifying Lord of the Abyss, Basgate, was originally a human.

Xiuyi's eyes glanced a little at the mural behind. After hearing Xu's statement, he already understood what happened later.

He went straight to the last few murals: "It seems that Basgate did not disappear mysteriously. After he went to the abyss, he gradually fell into depravity. He believed that he had found the meaning of life, that is death and killing. He believed that the preservation of the weak is the fundamental law of life, and the law of natural selection of natural objects. The abyss follows this law, while humans violate this law. Therefore, humans should not be creatures in the world of existence. He led his death army back from the demon world and returned to the Western Continent, causing a devastating disaster."

In front of this mural, a strong man with horns on his head and a gusseted with flames around him was standing on a group of corpses and roaring wildly. Around him, countless soldiers from the Death Legion followed him. Xiu Yi had never seen these lives, except for one of the demon spirits.

In terms of sorting, it is the lowest-level cannon fodder type soldier, but in the human world, they have become secret weapons of the Lance Empire.

"What about it later? Father."

"Later?" Xiu Yi smiled and came to the next painting: "The temple already possessed very powerful power at this time. They invented many super spells, and they even invented... a brilliant sword?"

Xiu Yi was completely stunned.

According to the story on the mural, the Western Continent's research on magic and alchemy at that time had reached a considerable level. They even created four orderly artifacts such as the Sword of Glory and the Cup of Life. However, the Lord of the Abyss Basgate also had excellent alchemy talents. Long before the invasion, he used the power from the abyss to create a dark blade that specializes in dealing with the Sword of Glory, the Spirit-Devouring Ring of the Cup of Life, the Holy B>1 3 Watch Network/b>, and the Doomsday Dragon Spear of the Scepter of Light and other chaotic four magic weapons.

In terms of power, the four magic weapons are made for the four magic weapons, so they have a complete suppression effect.

From this point of view, whether it is the temple or the demon world, his attainment in alchemy has actually reached its peak.

The war was stalemate, so Xiuyi continued to read.

"With the invasion of the demon world, the temple led the people of the mainland to fight a huge war with Basgate. The four artifacts failed to bring victory to the temple, because Basgate's power grew greatly in the abyss, countless times stronger than before he entered the abyss. His dark spells brought terrible death to people, making the land deserted and no plants or trees ever born. Wherever his army went, only death and flames existed. Basgate decided to attack the temple himself, and the temple was about to be lost. In order to eliminate this terrible demon, the temple decided to fight back. They gathered all the magicians and artifacts to come to the temple, and used the super magic array refined by the alchemist to launch a forbidden spell spell, and the powerful force covered the entire continent and cleaned it.

With all life, no matter human or other existence, even the powerful Basgate cannot escape. This power is too powerful, so even the Western Continent itself cannot withstand such power. The final result is that the Western Continent sinks to the bottom of the sea. In order to preserve this continent and preserve their history, the temple mages finally protected the most central part of the continent with the eternal barrier, while the other parts can only be allowed to die. The only thing that was not destroyed by this power was the eight gods and demons, but they were scattered everywhere and disappeared without a trace. Since then, the people of the Western Continent and the Legion of Death disappeared together. Because the war took place too quickly and ended too suddenly, the people of other continents did not even know about the occurrence of this incident."

"The Western Continent disappeared like this and no longer exists."

"It's so interesting. Humans created guardians to protect themselves, but eventually destroyed themselves." Xu muttered.

"Shooting oneself in the foot is exactly the characteristic of human beings, Ayu."

"Since that's the case, what's going on with that teleportation array in the Land of God's Grate?"

Xiuyi came to the last picture.

"After the sinking of the Western Continent, not everyone died immediately. The temple elder Cripwell survived by chance. He recorded all the stories here and on these murals, but there was not much time left in his life. He didn't have time to bring everything that happened here to people outside, so he left a teleportation array outside, hoping that someone would enter this world in the future, see what happened here, and be vigilant and prepared for the future demon world."

"In order to resist the demon world, he left all the spell records in the temple here, including methods of fighting qi cultivation, various magic, and alchemy knowledge..."

Xiuyi and Xu looked at each other for a moment, and a huge joy burst out in their eyes.

After watching the mural story for a long time, this news is the most exciting.

Xu jumped up: "Wow, this is great, the most brilliant Western Continent civilization, the most top temple heritage, father!"

The little guy jumped into Xiuyi's arms all of a sudden.

Xiuyi looked at the record carefully, and then he pointed to the three gates behind the hall.

"There are inheritances of Dou Qi cultivation, magic and alchemy behind these three doors, and they can be obtained by passing the test. However, Crippwell, given the lessons of Basgate, dare not leave everything to one person anymore. All he set a rule that a person can only enter the back of one door and get a kind of inheritance. He did not know how many people would enter here in the future, but only three people could get the knowledge left by the temple. Each door has a seal on it. When you enter one of the doors, the seal will automatically record the physical characteristics of the person. The person who is recorded cannot enter other doors, otherwise it will touch the eternal barrier. The consequence is to support the collapse of the sky and the continent will be completely destroyed."

"Can't we arrange a teleportation array, and then forcefully enter the three gates, take away all the inheritances and teleport them directly? At that time, even if this continent is completely destroyed, it will not affect us."

"Impossible. The inheritance of the temple is not a book record. It is stored directly by Cripwell in the form of magical energy, which can avoid the erosion of time. When an entrant enters the gate, the first thing he faces is the test of the temple. Those who fail the test will not only fail to obtain the inheritance but will also be punished. Only those who pass can take away the knowledge behind the door. The only way to get this knowledge is to instill directly into your body after the temple is recognized. Apart from this, there is no trick."

"How could this happen..." Xu murmured: "So what do you choose, father?"

"Of course it's alchemy." Shuyi replied, pointing his finger at the middle door.

Then his movements solidified.
Chapter completed!
