Chapter 755 Spark Holy Object
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became quiet. Seth's words were like throwing a boulder on a calm lake, causing waves in Xia Xiu's heart.
However, on the surface, he still remained calm. Only his eyes were slightly narrowed, and his golden pupils were as deep as abyss.
A series of thoughts passed through Xia Xiu's heart. The past world, past experiences, and the thing that had puzzled him for a long time all appeared in his mind like a picture scroll.
A very familiar clue flashed through his mind, and he murmured in his heart:
"Book...Chronicles of Terra..."
This clue is intertwined with Seth's words, vaguely fitting a certain truth about his coming to this world.
His thoughts were like a river, rushing towards the unknown truth.
Although his heart was turbulent with complicated emotions, he still took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.
After the fluctuations in Xia Xiu's golden eyes subsided, he raised his head and continued to ask in a calm tone:
"You said before that there is something that I need to do. What is it?"
Set stood in the center of the hall, smiled, and then said:
"Ode Papadobo Leith was the original city. It had an unusual design in that the entire city was divided into four sectors, connected by a large central hub area. These sectors seemed to be divided according to the skills of the people who lived in them. ”
Set’s hand gently crossed the wall of the hall.
“Blacksmiths and metallurgists, engineers and designers, farmers and bakers, artisans and craftsmen...the residents of the four sectors each perform their own duties and form the foundation of the city.”
Xia Xiu listened carefully, a glint of thought flashing in his eyes.
Site continued, with a hint of depth in his tone:
“Each of the four sectors has its own local management center near the central area. These centers eventually converge "
"And in the central hub area. The core of the hub area are three huge stone halls with iron decorations and a larger, more ornately designed hall. These buildings are the soul and pillars of Ode Papadopolis. ”
Seth pointed his finger to a corner of the hall and said slowly:
"The Palace of Dawn, the Palace of Sunset, and the Palace of Night—these are the three pillars of the central hub. What you are in now is the Palace of Dawn."
After Seth briefly introduced Austria After the structure of De Papadopolis, he paused for a moment, his eyes showing some reflection.
He slowly said to Xia Xiu:
"Lancelot's body is lying on the Sunset Temple, one of the three temples. Although he is dead, his body Still intact, and with a powerful power of blasphemy."
"His corpse was divided into seven parts of blasphemy, which polluted this overlapping hundred-layer hub over the long years."
Seth looked at Xia Xiu up and down with an elusive expression.
He continued: "And you have already killed one of the blasphemies."
Hearing these words, Xia Xiu instantly thought of the person he killed in Gray Harbor. The named person wearing the crown.
Some vague clues gradually became clear, and he instantly understood in his mind that the crowned child was the incarnation of the blasphemous power of Lancelot's corpse.
Set did not pause, his words continued to pour out:
"Actually, Lancelot's power of blasphemy has been gradually consumed by the people of this hub world over the long years. But recently, some forces have resurrected his blasphemy - three of them are wandering here. By these The person seduced by the power of blasphemy has already found this place.”
Seth's eyes became deep, and there was a hint of heaviness in his tone:
"There are three people in total. One is the master of the plane who holds the world wedge, and the other is a man and a woman who were desecrated. People with parasitic power.”
When Xia Xiu heard this, he immediately understood who the three people the old man was talking about were.
The sage Kailasel and the other two web-weavers are consistent with the people Seth described.
He couldn't help but ask:
"The help you want me to help is not to expel these people, right? To be honest, I think that with your ability, you can solve this kind of thing yourself. ”
Set sighed, looked up at the dome of the hall, his tone revealed A bit tired:
"I said before that I once lost myself while reading the "Book of Non-Existence"... I grew old in it. Not only did I grow old, my immortality was also there It was completely destroyed."
He lowered his head and continued:
"Today, I have only lived for a long time. This does not mean that I can live forever."
"The burden of supporting this city has long exhausted my energy. I often fall into long periods of time. The last time I woke up, the only major event I witnessed was Daeva's Elegy of the Hanged King... After that, I fell into a long sleep again. "
His voice gradually became lower, and he recalled:
"When I woke up again, I found that a forbidden place in the Palace of the Sunset had been opened by desecration.
< br>The three unclean ones, carrying some poor humans, were seduced by Lancelot and occupied the place where my father kept the sacred spark. ”
When Xia Xiu heard Seth's words, he couldn't help but asked:
"Others? What are the intentions of those three people who brought the human children here?"
Seth heard this. , the expression on his face became more solemn, and his brows were furrowed.
“The power of blasphemy has polluted their minds and turned them into tools to carry out evil intentions. Taking these children can only be related to some kind of ritual, and this ritual... is probably related to It’s related to the fire in that forbidden land.”
Xia Xiu then asked:
"The spark sacred place you mentioned just now... the spark here won't be one of the creators of the 'tree' you mentioned before, the 'most kind flame', right?"
Seth took a deep look at Xia Xiu, and then nodded slowly:
"That's right. That is the spark. In all legends, he is called the 'most benevolent god'. He was the person before the creation of the world. The flames ignited the universe from the original void The existence of the universe - [Pangloss] "
"My father once told me that the spark is completely different from other indescribable gods that transcend time and space. Great kindness has nothing to do with indifference or destruction. His existence is the most benevolent manifestation."
Set's voice seemed to be filled with emotion:
"It was He who ignited the original fire of mankind, allowing mankind to thrive in the desolate world."
He slowly raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the Palace of the Sunset:
" My father once followed the footsteps of Sparks, and that period was his most compassionate period.
Through the revelation of Sparks, he learned another virtue that the sun should have - the way of compassion.
Later, in order to commemorate Sparks, he collected a small part of the Sparks that had been there. The 'fire' left in the world is sealed in the Palace of the Sunset."
Seth let out a long sigh, and cast his eyes into the distance with a deep helplessness:
"Now, the goodwill and hope carried by those fires are being eroded by the blasphemous darkness."
"They should be trying to use the power of blasphemy to steal the power left by the spark for their own use. And I..."
He paused slightly, as if he was answering for himself Look for wording down the words.
“And I can only activate the city-state and prepare to float outside the territory again, in order to expel them before they commit greater crimes.”
Seth's tone was full of helplessness, but it sounded a bit contradictory to Xia Xiu.
He stood there, stretched out his right hand and gently adjusted his hat. His movements seemed casual, but they revealed a calm look.
Xia Xiu’s eyes were always fixed on Seth, his tone was calm but there was a hint of temptation:
“The blasphemer you mentioned is indeed dangerous. But to be honest, I don’t believe it. Your ability cannot expel the Kailasel family members through direct violence."
He paused and his eyes became sharper.
"Judging from the history you told and your identity, you definitely have that ability. Is it because your long history has made you... too much like an observer?"
Seth's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, but he did not refute, but sighed silently.
His silence seemed to be an answer in itself.
No matter what Xia Xiu said, since the other party chose to tell all the secrets, he would not easily ask or reveal them.
“Do you know what the spark sacred objects are in the Palace of the Sunset?”
Xia Xiu looked straight at Seth, as if he wanted to dig out all the undisclosed secrets from him.
Set lowered his head slightly, as if searching for those dusty fragments from the depths of his long memory.
His voice was slightly thoughtful:
“A magic candle that never goes out, its burning flame is a pure light of order, no matter where it is placed, It can dispel darkness and chaos. The other kind is even more strange... some conscious entities made of flames, they are called 'flaming demons'." After hearing this, Xia Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly:
" Gone?”
Set smiled, with a hint of self-deprecation in his tone:
“These things are too old for me, and frankly speaking, I didn’t pay much attention to those things before. ”
He paused, a trace of amusement flashing in his eyes.
“However, I think that for you, those unclean people and these things do not pose much of a threat. You only need to deal with those unclean people, and the holy objects left by these sparks will naturally To you.”
"All holy objects belong to me..." Xia Xiu repeated softly, a deep luster flashing across his eyes.
His expression did not change at all, but he was already making various calculations in his mind.
"What I want is more than just the sacred object of sparks."
He muttered secretly in his heart.
His eyes swept across this huge temple calmly.
The city...Ode Papadopolis.
Contain it.
This city, this eternal city, and everything it holds.
Xia Xiu made a decision in his heart.
He knew that Seth might not resist, and might even be waiting for someone to carry the burden of the city on his behalf.
The old man knew everything about him, and he probably had this idea as well.
The light from Chaohui Palace shuttles between the thick vaults and falls on the ancient stone tile floor, swaying slightly.
Xia Xiu stood in the hall, his golden pupils shining with deep light, as if he was silently weighing something.
His intuition told him that once this ancient city and Seth were taken in, the reaction from the Kingdom of Heaven would never be calm. This would be an unprecedented shock.
But now, his eyes are refocused on current affairs.
He turned around, looked at Seth, and smiled in a relaxed tone:
"Wait for me here for a while, and I will deal with the unclean ones left in this city."
< br>After hearing this, Seth chuckled, seemingly not surprised by Xia Xiu's confidence.
He said with a hint of ridicule:
"Be careful with the Lord of the Plane. He is not an ordinary person. If you are not careful, you may be kicked out of this world by him."< br>
The corners of Xia Xiu's mouth raised slightly, revealing a brilliant smile. There was a sense of certainty in his voice:
"They can't kick me away."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Xiu stood at his feet A twisted [∞] symbol suddenly appeared on the ground, with ripples of light and shadow appearing in the symbol, and the space seemed to be torn apart by a huge force, making a slight low cry.
His figure gradually became blurred, and his whole person was sucked into the expanding space rift.
Before leaving, he gently raised his left hand to straighten the top hat on his head, saluted Seth gracefully, and said in a calm tone:
"See you later."
As these words fell, his figure completely disappeared into the hall, leaving only the twisted [∞] symbol that gradually subsided until it completely dispersed.
Site stood there, watching the direction Xia Xiu left.
His expression gradually lost its smile and was replaced by a deep emotion.
There were indescribable complex emotions in his lowered eyes, as if he was remembering and also hoping.
He spoke slowly, his voice low and slow, as if muttering to himself:
"New Sun... New Apollo... The wheels of fate are turning, but this time, will we... Ushering in a different ending? "
The Palace of Chaohui fell into silence again, the light and shadow still swayed on the cold floor tiles, but the mysterious murals on the thick walls were also watching all this silently. .
And Seth closed his eyes slightly and allowed his thoughts to surge in his mind.
His expression is stained by the years, with infinite nostalgia for the past and uncertainty about the future.
He stood there like an eternal statue, until a moment later, he slowly turned around and walked towards the depths of Chaohui Palace. In the overlapping of light and shadow, his figure gradually disappeared.

The Palace of the Sunset, silent and majestic, stands in a corner of Ode Papadopolis.
Its entrance is magnificent, with two huge stone doors carved with intricate patterns depicting a detailed map of the city and its surrounding towns.
All details are carefully crafted to outline the overall view of Ode Papadopolis: the towering city walls surround the city-state, a circle of villages and towns are scattered outside, and the river on the east side flows meandering, with painted A small town with rolling farms on both sides.
At the top of the stone gate, a copper dragon is entrenched, with ancient words - "Human World" engraved on the dragon's body.
The dragon's eyes are deep, as if looking down at the world.
There is a stylized arrow on each side, pointing in different directions.
The arrow in the southeast reads - "The Realm of the Scarlet King and the Necromancer".
The other arrow points to the west, labeled - "The distant and unfamiliar west".
The main hall of the Palace of Sunset shows a completely different temperament from that of the Palace of Chaohui.
The decoration of the Chaohui Palace is bright and brilliant, while the Sunset Palace is shrouded in an indescribable solemnity and silence.
Although its internal structure is similar to that of the Palace of Chaohui, it is obvious that [Lancelot]'s huge corpse lies across the center of the main hall, causing serious damage to the building.
Most of the former murals on the walls have collapsed, leaving only scattered fragments, telling the glorious past of this place.
One of the relatively well-preserved murals caught all the attention.
In the picture——
A golden man wearing an iron crown rides on a white horse, followed by groups of male and female warriors.
They hold swords, bows, and axes with resolute expressions. There were people on each side of him, one of them was holding a black sword, exuding a depressing aura; the other was holding a green staff, which was faintly exuding the aura of life.
Opposite the golden man, on the other side of the mural are chaotic storm clouds and exploding lightning.
The depiction of these elements is extremely vivid, as if you can hear the roar of the storm and the roar of thunder.
The closer these natural forces come to the edge of the wall, the more intense the scene becomes, displaying extreme drama.
In the lower right corner of the painting, there are some small light green human figures painted.
Their bodies are dressed in brightly colored clothes, and each has exaggerated expressions painted on their faces.
Each pair of their eyes is like a window that penetrates the soul, with six cold pupils shining.
These green human figures are depicted on two vertical pillars, and their existence seems insignificant, but it carries an eerie sense of mystery.
Although most of the other walls of the Sunset Palace have collapsed, some traces can still be seen.
The design of the ceiling at the top of the temple is unique and was obviously carefully painted to imitate the night sky.
However, most of the ceiling has collapsed, and in the remaining parts, some stars that do not match the modern starry sky are vaguely visible.
At this moment, a [∞] symbol appeared in the space, and with the distortion of the space, a young man with blond hair and golden eyes walked out of it.
Xia Xiu stood in front of the Palace of the Sunset, looking at the body of [Lancelot] in front of him.
Hiss hiss~~~
Hiss hiss~~~
Hiss hiss~~~
When Xia Xiu looked at each other, The triple halo behind the forehead made a hissing sound of overheating.
