Whispering Poems.

Chapter 51 The Fifth Epoch 1068

Entering the white fog door, I didn't feel any abnormality, just normal step forward.There is still solid flat ground underfoot, and everything around is shrouded in white mist, as if coming to an illusory dream world.

And in this hazy and strange fog, just like what Professor Garcia said, the murmur in my ear seems to have never said so many words at once:
[Outlander, you have stepped into the "Time Corridor". 】

[A message from the ancient god "Father of the Infinite Tree":]

[In the autumn of 1068 of the Fifth Age, the southern continent, the town of Hope. 】

[Event: The old god "Pure Creator" fell. 】

[Duration is 10 minutes. 】

Apart from the sudden appearance of the proper nouns "Time Corridor" and "Ancient God", the information so far is the same as what Professor Garcia said.

[You have additional information. 】

[The figure of the father of the infinite tree is watching you. 】

[The ancient god of time will give you a test. 】

[Before the fall of the old god "Pure Creator", witness His last wish. 】

[The Father of the Infinite Tree will give you rewards: Thaumaturgy-Blade of Chaos Time, Miracle Spirit Rune-Echo. 】

The sound stopped, Xia De's eyes widened, standing in the white fog and said in surprise:
"Ancient God? Time Corridor? What is this all about?"

[Your soul is very sensitive, so I get more information than the 'other me' of ordinary ring warlocks.I don't understand what it means. 】

"Then the mission?"

[The ancient god of time will give you a test.]

"You don't have to repeat what I heard, I know you're not a repeater. I mean, what does this mean? I've encountered the rare situation mentioned by Professor Garcia? Also, this ancient god, why" the figure Staring at me? Could it be that he has always existed and has not fallen?"

He widened his eyes and looked into the depths of the white fog, but he couldn't see any clues, as if this world called "Time Corridor" had only fog and endless nothingness.Thinking of this, Shade felt inexplicably creepy.This world is definitely not as simple as what we see now.

[The ancient god gave you the task, complete it and get the reward of the ancient god.It doesn't look bad at least.Also, there are 9 minutes and 23 seconds remaining. 】

"Can't you make it clearer?"

[I want to tell you too, but I can't give an answer. 】

Xia De raised his leg and walked forward, just taking a step, the surrounding white fog actually disappeared.Professor Garcia clearly said that it is normal for investigators who travel through time to be surrounded by white mist.

What's more, Shade found himself standing on a street that seemed to be a backward medieval town. The street was full of sewage and gravel and dust, and the air was filled with the smell of animal dung and rotting food.The house next to it was low and dilapidated, and the sky was unusually gloomy, covered by dark clouds that were about to rain.

The thin and indifferent townspeople in dark rags turned their heads to look at the well-dressed young people.It's not like it's not at all like a connection to the past without active contact.

A person in the past time, who observes the future time.

"This is again"

【look up. 】

Looking up, he saw the huge colorful signboard of "Hope Town Toy Store" in front of him, as if the only color in this old black and white photo. Xia De understood his purpose in his heart. Push the door into the store interior.

The townspeople were isolated, and the inside and outside of the door seemed like two worlds.

The bell at the door rang, and the sweet smell of candy permeated the store.All kinds of colorful wooden, metal and ceramic toys almost filled the shelves, and the sleepy young man behind the counter raised his head.

He was well dressed and wore a ridiculous red clown hat with white dots on his head.The attires of the townspeople on the street are completely different from those who are as numb as dead corpses. If it is not possible to see the outside from the window of the toy store, Shad will doubt whether this is still the "Hope Town".

"Welcome to Hope Town Toy Store, may I ask"

The words of the young man in the ridiculous hat stopped abruptly, and he looked at Xia De, who was standing at the door and didn't dare to move.The detective from the future time and space, at this moment, suddenly had the feeling that his heart was about to stop beating.

Huge pressure came from the man behind the counter, and the feeling of falling against the abyss and the infinite sky made Xia De couldn't help but take a step back and leaned against the door.

Suddenly blood appeared in front of his eyes, and only then did he realize that his eyes were bleeding.When he reached out and touched it, blood flowed from his ears, nose and even the corners of his mouth.Visceral pain, head swelling, and even the spirit gradually become slack.Although the space occupied by the existence in front of them is only the size of a normal person, the place in the world occupied by the existence in front of them is by no means an ordinary person.

The toys in the store came to life in sight, and a smile made up of children's voices could be heard in my ears:

"Saint."

The knowledge about God was the first thing Xia De read after he got the textbook.

Gods are high-dimensional beings. If you don't want to distort the rules of the material world after they appear, you must have a reliance object in the material world to come. This is called the saint form of the gods.And behind the counter was undoubtedly the saint form of the old god [Innocent Creator]. If it weren't for the fact that the other party had no malicious intentions and his strength was low to the lowest level, Xia De's damage would definitely be more than that.

He was holding the door behind him, almost unable to stand, hallucinations and auditory hallucinations occupied his senses, but his mind was extremely concentrated at this moment, and he even had the illusion that he was about to leave his body.He actually heard the singing at this moment, and the singing composed of childish voices kept tempting his spirit to go crazy.

The presence of the "miracle" element reminded by the whispering voice sounded in his ears, but there was no "blasphemy", indicating that this god was a good god.

"Interesting, future man."

The young man behind the counter said softly, of course it wasn't Delarion, but Shade understood it.

"Didn't Professor Garcia say that we only need to witness? How could I face the old god directly?"

He leaned back against the door in pain, and the woman's murmur in his ear seemed to be saying something, but he couldn't distinguish it.It's just that the woman's murmur seemed to have some kind of power to help him at least not pass out immediately.

"what do you want to do?"

The old god asked in a soft voice. Although he looked young, he inexplicably made Xia De feel that the other party was old.Seeing Xia De's pained look, he reached out to him.

There were no light and shadow effects, but the pain of flesh and senses disappeared.Shade, who had just woken up from a dream, felt that his whole body was soaked in sweat, and only a slight pain was remembered in his brain.

"I want to witness your last wish. Thank you for your treatment."

Xia De said with a trembling tone, although the pain was gone, the terrifying pressure he felt was still making the body instinctively uncomfortable.The gods of this world are really high-dimensional beings, not powerful mortals.Humans cannot look directly at the gods.

The saint shook his head:

"I'm just protecting you from the essence of God, and that protection won't last long. As for my wishes? No, you're still too weak, at least you need the afterglow of God to do this kind of thing. Go back, at least Now, you shouldn't be here."

"What is the afterglow of God?"

"I can't tell it, it's God's secret. Knowledge has weight, and you can't afford it."

The voice of the saint is very gentle.

"Then, is it possible to answer at least one of my questions, just one question."

Shade stretched out a finger, this was a rare opportunity that he couldn't let go of.Although he now feels his head swell from lack of oxygen, he is still awake and understands what he is going to do:
"What is an ancient god?"

　PS: The gods understand the Sixth Gene Delarion language used by Shad.Of course, this is because God "knows everything", not because Shad has the same language proficiency as God.

　　However, this kind of god, who is set as a high-dimensional existence, knows the language of ordinary people in the future, and it should not be something that needs to be explained.
