Chapter 1082: Chapter 569: Sun Stone Calendar, Omniscient and Omnipotent
Hoo——!
The spiritual wind suddenly lifted the hem of Catherine’s white lace dress, and a new world unfolded before her eyes.
"This is..."
Before she could take a clear look at the scenery of the [Flower Mountain Celestial Kingdom], the girl instinctively widened her beautiful emerald eyes.
With a deep breath, the exceptionally fresh air passed through her lungs, taking away the impurities within her body, making her feel two pounds lighter, as if one exhale could make her body float effortlessly into the air.
Of course, having already ascended to the Fifth Order, Catherine’s physical body and soul were long inseparable, her flesh and bones pure, imbued with divine light, devoid of any impurity, cleaner than white jade crystal.
However, the environment of the Flower Mountain Celestial Kingdom was clearly different from the material world outside, which was being invaded and polluted by the Sea of Origin Matter.
Entering here felt like suddenly arriving in a paradise of chirping birds and fragrant flowers from a large industrial city plagued by perennial smog.
"This is an independently circulating world? It’s indeed different from the material world, and completely unlike the still-budding [Golden Mist Palace] and [Pyramid].
All rules here are established by the Lord of the Divine Kingdom, unaffected by the outside world.
Given the name ’Celestial Kingdom’, one of its deep-rooted rules seems to be ’purification’.
Utilizing the ever-flowing Mind Wish Power of the Teynor Ethnic Group to purify this small world, as well as all the dead souls who come here after death.
Even those who turned into half-human, half-beast beings due to uncontrolled black sorcery during their lifetime can restore their original appearance and rest here as humans."
Byron also showed curiosity; he had once personally entered a [Noah’s Ark] being used by the Mother of Sea Monsters as a Divine Kingdom.
Inside there, everything from trees to even the air was filled with out-of-control "active" pollution, a complete opposite compared to this pure world.
After the surprise, the brother and sister looked down.
After successfully bridging the gap between reality and illusion, [Styx of the Nether River] transformed into a great river without beginning or end, encircling the equally endless Flower Mountain Range.
The river’s opposite shore was filled with mist, a hazy other side where shadows of the world’s edge could faintly be seen.
The Flower Mountain Range in the middle, with its beautiful scenery and magnificent landscape, seemed to have transformed into Elysium, a paradise in mythology where virtuous people and heroes reside.
Elysium means: a land of joy, a blessed place.
It’s said that in the Iris Kingdom, there is a palace called the Elysee Palace, its name derived from here, now the private residence of Crown Prince Louis XI.
The last time a raven was sent out to sense the location of the "traitor," it seemed that the target was also in this palace, but they merely trailed him and didn’t act yet.
Byron took Catherine’s hand and descended toward the summit.
The mountain peak had long been flattened, and amidst a myriad of flowers stood an ancient pyramid, built to the highest thirteen levels of the ancient Taya Empire era.
Each level enshrines a crystal skull, just like before the collapse of the ancient Taya Empire.
But the top of the pyramid wasn’t a temple; it was a massive round stone slab that was slowly rising, as if a golden sun illuminated the entire celestial kingdom.
The stone slab was covered with intricate symbols and Taya script.
In the middle was an elderly Sun God, with a face full of wrinkles, wearing ornate headgear, nose rings, earrings, and pendants.
His extended tongue was coiled around a black obsidian ceremonial dagger that gleamed coldly.
As if demanding a blood sacrifice from his followers.
Byron, having served as the Lord of the Celestial Kingdom for such a long time, no longer needed the [Sailing Logbook] to easily understand the inscriptions on the stone slab.
This was a very old calendar, called the "Sun Stone Calendar."
It’s a combination of a 260-day Tzolk’in calendar and another 365-day calendar known as the Haab’ calendar.
As for the deity in the center, it was the Supreme God, a Seventh Order True God of the early Mythological Era, known as the [Sun God], and [Lord of the Four Transitions], Emperor Wu.
He was also the creator of the first calendar in the material world, the "Sun Stone Calendar."
However, the ancient secrets that followed gradually widened their eyes with astonishment.
"This [Sun God], theoretically the best at restraining the Deep Sea, tragically fell as early as the middle to early Mythological Era, before the Era Transition and the Twilight of the Gods had even begun.
Even the root cause of the Southern Continent’s fracture could be traced back to him.
This [Sun God] initiated some forbidden experiment, causing an unprecedented great explosion, opening up a Zero Level World Rift.
As a result, part of the Southern Continent formed the Bantaan Archipelago, another part formed the Shattered Isles in the ’Celestial Orbital Belt,’ and the largest part became today’s Hundred Beasts Paradise.
The continental plates shifted, turning the Hundred Beasts Paradise, which wasn’t too far from the Dragon Court and even partially connected, into an isolated island.
Also due to his fall, humanity in the Hundred Beasts Paradise became very weak, unable to produce a notable True God or Demigod throughout the Mythological Era, unlike other divine systems.
The Teynor people were merely one of the myriad beasts vying for dominance, rather than the continent’s masters, and hadn’t regained their Essence Qi even by the Silver Era."
Seeing this, Byron was suddenly reminded of [Sun God] Inti, who ruled the Sun Empire, and his sun deity system.
He inexplicably felt a subtle sense of Taino’s legitimacy actually resting... in the Sun Empire.
At this thought, a spark ignited in his heart:
"Perhaps there really is a connection between them.
There are many similar Authorities across the divine systems, and almost every system has its unique Sun God.
