Versatile Mage: I have no intention of dimensional throne

"A brief half history of the last human civilization?" Bai Mo repeated, looking at Lingling.

"Why do you say that?"

Lingling paused, sorted out her thoughts, and then continued:

"Bai Mo, I wonder if you have ever wondered how long human history is. Is there another era of human existence before us?"

Bai Mo nodded, answering Lingling's first question. He glanced at the golden leaves all over the ground.

"You mean these things, this secret realm, are all relics of a generation of humans that came before us who knows how long ago."

Lingling nodded heavily, her face showing the excitement of discovering a big secret.

"That's right! Do you remember the murals we saw when we were looking for the totem of the Seven Stars of the Vermillion Bird? The scene of the raging flood. In fact, the legend of the world-destroying flood can be found in our current Kyushu, the Western countries, or America and Australia."

Lingling pointed to the golden leaves beside her and continued:

"It records a devastating flood, just like the flood we saw in the mural of the Seven Stars of the Vermillion Bird. The whole world was submerged.

At that time, in order to save themselves and continue their civilization, the humans on this land created this secret place before the flood and left their heritage behind. "

There was quiet thought in Lingling's eyes, as if she was telling Bai Mo a story, or as if she was muttering to herself.

“No living creature can survive in the secret realm, so they only left behind a legacy, hoping that someone lucky enough to survive can find it.

"A brief history of half a step is somewhat similar to our history textbooks, except that most of what is recorded is the process of this civilization's final self-rescue."

Hearing this, Bai Mo fell silent. Although Lingling's words were simple, they were just a few sentences, yet they sounded tragic enough.

"Save themselves. What else did they do?"

"Probably a battle with the Siren." Lingling's eyes flickered slightly.

"I don't know if it's a siren or not. The text calls it a sea creature."

"Did they succeed?"

"I don't know. It's not written there."

Bai Mo nodded slightly. He had learned from Old Suzaku about the sirens' desire for land.

At the time when Suzaku was born, there were no humans.

Obviously, the flood this time was not the one caused by Jianggu.

Bai Mo was thinking, but found Lingling looking at him steadily.

After he gave her a questioning look, Lingling spoke:

"It records some information about your summoning talent, which was also called the Origin Contract at that time. In the early days of human civilization, this was an ability that everyone could awaken.

Their summoning magic is also very special, and it hardly relies on self-awakening, as if they were born with it.

It was not until the end of human civilization that this talent gradually became rare."

"Why is this?" Bai Mo asked curiously.

"I don't know. It says that it was polluted by evil spirits and eroded by time. It's not very detailed, but it seems to involve the reason for the birth of mankind."

Lingling frowned unconsciously when she recalled that description.

"It is stated above that the purpose of the Return to Origin Contract is to allow demons to return to their origins, and at the same time, they can gain some of the demons' powers."

"Return to the origin..." Bai Mo couldn't help but mutter these four words when he heard them. He suddenly remembered what Jingwei said to him when he broke through the super level of summoning system in Taihang Mountain.

His summoned beast was transforming into a totem, and already had the glow of a totem on it.

If this is what returning to one's origin means, then there are actually quite a few totem beasts, and they are likely cultivated by humans! ?

Thinking of this, Bai Mo raised his head in disbelief.

"Well, returning to the origin means that the demons become totem beasts. It also says that humans call themselves the king of all beasts."

Lingling nodded, her expression still very serious.

"I don't know what the connection is between the two. It's not written there, but judging from the article, demons and totems should be related."

Bai Mo shook his head.

"Let's not talk about the connection first. If some totem beasts really came from this, it's no wonder."

Lingling nodded. Although Bai Mo didn't finish his words, she understood why.

No wonder totem beasts protect humans, no wonder some totems can even forgive humans’ betrayal, and no wonder the relationship between totems and humans is like this now.

No wonder the descendants of totems would turn into monsters.

In general, although Bai Mo and Lingling didn't have much conversation, it roughly told a story.

That is, before the current human civilization, there was probably a beast-taming civilization, or it could be said to be a civilization that mainly used summoning magic.

They have a Guiyuan Contract, and they gain power by contracting with demons.

And their Guiyuan Contract seems to be better than Bai Mo's.

Because Lingling did not mention some restrictions, such as it must be a single-attribute monster.

There is also the fact that the growth limit of demon bloodline is higher.

Humans with the Guiyuan Contract train summoned beasts to become totem beasts.

This really sounds like something incredible now.

On the other hand, Bai Mo felt that this kind of training was not easy.

After all, he can compare himself to the Wind Spirits. They now have some totemic characteristics, but they are not totems yet.

At most, they would be considered the descendants of totems.

But in the end, this civilization seems to have declined or even died out because of its fight against the great flood.

It was too long ago, and without professional identification, it was difficult for Lingling to determine how long ago it happened.

And time can change too many things.

"That's the general situation. I'll sort out the information and send you a copy. You can take a look at it yourself."

Lingling's voice broke Bai Mo from his contemplation.

Bai Mo nodded and had no objection.

Some details would take forever to explain, and it’s better to read it yourself than to listen to Lingling tell you about it.

What's more, I have a general idea of ​​the situation and the things I want to know.

"Then let's go out now." Bai Mo paused, took out the small silver stone and handed it to Lingling.

"I got it during my retreat in the tree cave. There are some things inside, and there is also an introduction, but I can't understand the introduction."

Lingling rolled her eyes. This guy only knew how to order people around, but she still reached out to take it.

Bai Mo immediately summoned Daju to carry Lingling on his back.

Then he raised his hand, picked up the gold leaves on the ground, put Lingling's draft in order and placed it next to her.

Then the two of them went towards the exit of the secret realm.

The four masks were re-inserted onto the human faces on the door, and the huge bronze door slowly opened.

······

Magic City, Qingtian Hunting House.

After returning to the city, Bai Mo realized that he had been away for nearly ten days.

Sitting on the sofa, there were many things placed on the coffee table in front of Lingling and Bai Mo, all of which were taken out of the silver stone.

"This bronze-like metal is called Chaos Gold. It is a kind of..." Lingling was silent for a while, as if thinking about how to describe it appropriately.

"It is a particularly abnormal metal. It will have a corresponding degree of hardness depending on the amount of energy injected during forging. If a forbidden spell-level energy core can be integrated into it during forging, it can even reach the emperor level."

Lingling was very excited when she said this, because this metal is incredible.

Bai Mo was also a little surprised. Thinking of the bronze beasts all over the city, there were only two words in his mind at this moment.

"waste!"

Unfortunately, these metals cannot be reused after being cast once.

Lingling checked this with the bronze fragments that Bai Mo brought out.

Bai Mo took a deep breath and looked at other things on the table.

"Tell me something else, Lingling."

"You can just treat these as elemental diamonds. They have the same function. They may be kept for you to forge Chaos Gold."

Lingling glanced at the colorful stones that looked like jade, her eyes sparkling but filled with disdain.

Then he began to introduce those one by one, and finally stopped on a small stone that Bai Mo had not noticed.

The stone is black with some white crystals.

"This is Si Quartz, a dark mineral. Legend has it that the Dark King likes it very much. It's a pity that you are not a dark wizard, otherwise it would be of some use to you."

Hearing this, Bai Mo didn't say anything, but Old Man Bao, who was lying on the other side of the tea table, glanced over here and said faintly:

"Don't summon the Dark King easily."

"I understand." Bai Mo said.

Lingling groaned for a moment, looked at the thumb-sized piece of quartz, and continued:

"The description of the origin of Si Quartz is quite strange. It says it is a derivative product of the evolution of Origin Stone."

Hearing this, Bai Mo's originally relaxed expression suddenly froze, a serious look appeared on his face, he sat up straight and asked:

"Lingling, what did you say!?"

"It is said above that Si Quartz is a derivative product of the evolution of Origin Stone."

Every word of this sentence sounded like a thunderclap to Bai Mo's ears, so loud that it could shake the soul out of the body.

Of course he knew what Si Quartz was, and he knew even better what Origin Stone was.

But he never knew that the two things were actually related.

Quartz is a derivative product of the evolution of the origin stone. What did it evolve into?

The origin stone evolves only according to the rules. Quartz is a dark mineral, so it is naturally an by-product derived from the evolution of the dark laws.

Conversely, there is almost no quartz left nowadays.

This is precisely because there are almost no Origin Stones left.

Quartz has appeared in the Tianshan Mountains, or to be more precise, it is the Trace of the Tianshan Mountains.

If there is Si quartz here, then there must be an origin stone.

That thing, the ancient king used a piece of it as big as an egg to construct the undead magic belonging to Kyushu.

Bai Mo also wanted to use it to find out if there were more possibilities for dimensional magic.

If there is still an Origin Stone.

A cold hand was placed on his neck, and the cold stimulation instantly brought Bai Mo back to his senses.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? I'm talking to you." Lingling took her hand back expressionlessly.

Bai Mo took a look and his eyes fell on his face.

"What did you say?"

"Yesterday Mo Fan sent me a message asking me to investigate the matter regarding Si Shiying."

"You wanted me to give this to him."

Lingling nodded, then shook her head. "When I replied to the message yesterday, I hadn't seen the stone yet. He received my intelligence and had already set off for Tianshan."

"What do you mean?"

"Should we go to Tianshan as well?" Lingling's eyes lit up. That was Tianshan, an exciting and indecent place.

Seeing Bai Mo's teasing expression, Lingling coughed and continued:

"Mo Fan is looking for Si Shiying to save Mu Bai. He may not be able to find him. We can lend a hand when the time comes. Even if he does find him, one piece may not be enough."

"I heard it. If Lingling can't go to Tianshan, Mu Bai will be dead." Bai Mo nodded seriously.
