763 -2: The Second Encounter with God_2

Many years ago, the Eden Tribe created life, which angered the Judge and other beast gods.

Thus, the Eden Tribe gave up creating mythical creatures and instead turned to research mechanical beings.

The perfect fusion of crystals and mechanics triggered what later came to be known as the twilight of the gods.

In the eyes of Xuan Niao and others, these mechanical beings were invaders from another time and space.

Tang Jing’s side, however, had news that these mechanical beings, also known as the Orderers, were merely monstrosities created by the Eden Tribe.

The Eden Tribe had such excessive creative power that they nearly wrecked several worlds.

The remaining beast gods, including the Judge, were all trying to stop the Eden Tribe.

However, deep down, the Judge was also envious of the Eden Tribe.

Perhaps it was this envy that led the Judge down the same path as the Eden Tribe.

In the forbidden area of the holy mountain, all sorts of creatures were being cultivated, and Tang was one of them, only he was deemed a failure and exiled elsewhere.

At the same time, the Judge also wanted to pick up where the Eden Tribe had left off—controlling the Orderers.

The Judge emulated everything that the Eden Tribe had once arrogantly attempted.

But it likely had some kind of confidence to do so.

What this confidence was, Tang Xian had to figure out.

He looked at Xuan Niao and said seriously,

“There is definitely some danger, but after some contemplation, I think this ‘god’ is actually waiting for me to have a talk with her.”

[Why?]

“You wouldn’t understand even if I told you.”

Tang Xian didn’t tell Xuan Niao about Tang Jing’s situation.

He just pondered why Tang Jing could escape to the Holy Fortress in such a state?

If it wasn’t for that god’s intentional doing, Tang Jing would not have been able to leave at all.

So why would the god do that intentionally?

Upon contemplation, Tang Xian felt that everything made sense.

He needed to find her, and she was also waiting for him.

…

…

The departure took place in the afternoon.

Finding the mysterious Divine Fortress in the vast sky was not an easy task.

Xuan Niao took Tang Xian and they quickly flew past the clouds.

The once seemingly boundless Pyramid eventually revealed its end after a long time.

Riding the phoenix soaring high in the sky, the extreme altitude, which ordinary people couldn’t withstand, was quite comfortable for Tang Xian.

According to information from Constantine, the location of the Divine Fortress was roughly in the center of over two hundred Pyramids.

Even with the narrowed search area, it was still difficult to locate.

From high above the world, everything appeared lifeless and bleak.

[The world of humans is far more dilapidated than I imagined, only your city seems to still have some vitality.]

“Years ago, the Judge drove a large number of creatures from the Myriad Beasts Realm to invade, along with the judge knights and some elite beast troops.

Despite the advanced human technology hundreds of years ago, it was difficult to resist these humanoid weapons and beasts from the mines, especially in highly populated cities,” Tang Xian explained.

Xuan Niao didn’t know much about human history.

Out of boredom during the flight, it became interested in learning more.

Tang Xian had a similar intention and continued to speak,

“Beneath us in the cities, there are actually nothing but piles of bones.

Xuan Niao, we are not enemies.

You must have heard the words of Elder Silver before his death.

He longed for a situation where both worlds could coexist peacefully, with humans providing knowledge to the Myriad Beasts Realm, and the beasts protecting humans.”

“In the earlier years, although the Eden Tribe also used the ancients to create mythical creatures, the fact that the Eden Tribe changed the common form of most creatures to humans shows that even the mighty Eden Tribe envied the creative abilities of humans.”

“After the twilight of the gods, everything changed.

The Judge, for some reason, hated humans, leading the judge knights and the beasts to destroy human cities with irresistible force.

Civilization was devastated, and humans had to live inside Pyramids.

So far, this appears to be the complete historical narrative, but there are still some minor details I haven’t discovered.”

[So what if you find them?

Shouldn’t you, as you are now, be focused on seeking the inheritance of the great beast gods?

Obtaining powerful strength to guard this world?]

“That’s true, but never give up seeking the details before you’re absolutely sure in your heart.

Because minute details might overturn the entire truth.”

Xuan Niao took note of this statement.

Although it couldn’t understand, it felt there was reason to it.

In the following days, Tang Xian and Xuan Niao continuously searched for the Divine Fortress, chatting about various things.

To truly win Xuan Niao’s loyalty, it couldn’t be based purely on hatred for the Judge.

He needed to gradually dissolve the misunderstanding that the Mystical Bird had about this world.

For example, the notion that humans were at the bottom of the food chain.

The words spoken by Silver River before his death had already made the Mystical Bird reconsider; it had not expected that a great beast god would value humans so highly.

Taking advantage of this, Tang Xian further convinced the Mystical Bird that humans and several beast gods were actually on the same side, all victims of the judges and enforcers of order.

The search took a total of seven days.

On the seventh day, Tang Xian and the Mystical Bird finally saw the enormous fortress of the gods after passing through a sea of clouds, high above in the cloud layer.

The fortress floating in the air was spectacular, but even more magnificent was the sea of clouds.

The fortress of the gods was like a flying fish that had surged from the sea of clouds and came to a stop midair.

It also resembled a gigantic abyssal eye, silently observing this place.

When Tang Xian discovered the fortress of the gods,

the master inside the fortress also detected Tang Xian.

Her gaze was calm, having long anticipated Tang Xian’s arrival.

The gigantic Mystical Bird, compared to the fortress of the gods, was like an ancient ape on a sacred mountain.

The Mystical Bird was somewhat puzzled about how to find the entrance, but as it pondered, a gate of the fortress of the gods opened.

This gate was hidden within the fortress’s outer defense wall, only revealing its bronze hue when opened, resembling the kind of doors one would encounter inside a typical Pyramid when entering a higher level.

Only it was much larger.

Large enough that the Mystical Bird could pass through with him.

[Go in?]

“Of course.”

[But think carefully, once you go in, you might never return.]

“You need to stick with me more and learn.

Then you’ll understand that even humans with deep blood feuds can sit down calmly and have tea together.”

[The monster inside is not human.]

“She indeed is not, but she has the soul of a human.”

The Mystical Bird did not understand, but still led Tang Xian into the fortress of the gods.

Once inside the fortress, the bronze giant door quickly closed, and at that moment, the Mystical Bird felt as if it could never leave the place.

Tang Xian, on the other hand, was very calm.

The interior of the fortress of the gods was vast.

The Mystical Bird flew about, not knowing which way to go.

Tang Xian, although he had spent time here as a child, was also unfamiliar with the lower levels.

But this problem did not trouble the pair for long.

After passing through the flight trajectory and entering a large vehicle platform, blue arrows soon appeared on the screen, marking the direction.

Without hesitation, Tang Xian followed the arrows.

The Mystical Bird closely trailed Tang Xian, ready to rescue him at a moment’s notice should they encounter danger.

And on their way, they encountered many structures like the bronze doors, all of which, without exception, opened for Tang Xian.

This scene was like when Tang Jing first discovered the lower level, only at that time, he had a resolve to face death and sensing his limited time, he was very hurried.

Tang Xian was different; he walked very slowly, sometimes even stopping to observe his surroundings.

He seemed more like he was there to negotiate, and he had a strong hand to play.

After about an hour of wandering, Tang Xian finally arrived at the room where Tang Jing had conversed with the deity.

The moment the door opened, Tang Xian saw the woman’s face.

His memory of his biological mother was actually very faint, but Tang Xian still felt an instant familiarity, which disrupted his composure for a brief moment; shortly after, Tang Xian regained his composure.

He had always considered that the deity might appear in a form beyond his expectations.

Now it seemed, not being Tang Xian himself was already fortunate.

Appearances could not confuse him.

Tang Xian laughed and shook his head, then stopped in his tracks.

The deity herself appeared slightly surprised that Tang Xian had so quickly grown accustomed to her appearance.

“Aren’t you coming in?”

“How about we talk through the door?”

Tang Xian didn’t want to step into that room because the person before him was too dangerous.

He also didn’t dare get too close.
