It was very strange. No, it was too strange.
Why would she recognize a script that she has never seen before?
First of all, this was definitely not a script from Earth, nor was it some prank left behind by a time traveler for future generations. It elegantly and solemnly, with a rigorous yet romantic style, records a story.
Or rather, a warning.
No matter how painful and unforgettable the memories are, they will fade away with the passage of time and the changing of seasons. Therefore, I leave inscriptions in the sealed place to warn those who come later.
O newcomer, what lies before you is a mistake concealed by mistakes, a past that should not and cannot be reopened.
Her power and beauty are enough to make the sky fall, and the earth plays the music of revival. However, she is also the source of all disasters, bringing malice to the world and turning beautiful things into deadly poisons.
Sigh, sigh.
Therefore, we have sealed her.
The twilight war is about to come, and I will also step onto the battlefield where everything falls. Perhaps here will be my last breath of this earth’s air, but I cannot rest assured without her.
Turn back now, turning back is still possible. What is flourishing before you is not a deity capable of granting wishes but the Abyssal Demon, bringing destruction and lamentation to the earth.
—The final admonition from one rejected by the world

“Rejected by the world... person?”
Violet fell into a long silence.
For some unknown reason, this inscription engraved in a special language does not provide detailed descriptions of the specific past events or reveal the identity of the one sealed and the sealer. Instead, it warns future generations to leave immediately in a cryptic manner.
If an ordinary person were to decipher the inscription on the stone platform, they would probably feel perplexed by this ambiguous message.
However, when considering the Southern Calamity, Abyss Beasts, the fragment of Sith in the Abyss Worm, the wordless book obtained at the auction with the Goddess of Earth’s origin fragment taken from it, and even the warning before Sethlin’s slumber, all these observations and encounters during this journey point towards three interrelated entities: the Sky Goddess Minerva, the Goddess Seth, and the Abyss.
Violet has ample reason to suspect that the shrine guarded by the Brown Bird Tribe in the center of Omo Island, stored in the spiritual chamber, also contains a fragment of the Goddess of Earth.
If that’s indeed the case, could the actions of the Abyss, that mysterious entity, be primarily focused on collecting scattered sealed fragments of Seth?
Is the divine essence in the wordless book also taken by it?
What is its relationship with the Abyss, its purpose, and how does it treat these fragments?
And who is the engraver of this inscription? Is it the Sky God Minerva? It feels similar, yet not quite, and why can Violet understand this completely unfamiliar script?
There are too many uncertainties.
Of course, it’s also possible that, in reality, what’s stored in this wooden shrine is not what Violet anticipated but indeed, as described in the Brown Bird Tribe’s tradition, a “Great Demon” from the Abyss.
It seems the key is to figure out the identity of the entity that arrived here, seemingly without a “key” yet could enter the spiritual chamber and take what’s sealed in the shrine.
The current leads may have been interrupted, but that’s okay. The Abyss will not simply cease its activities. They will surely act again, and sooner or later, there will be another encounter.
Violet eagerly anticipated the arrival of that moment, and the next time, she would not let the other party escape.
This spiritual chamber, crafted by Nightstone, had nothing of value except for the stone platform and the shrine that once sealed something. While Nightstone was undoubtedly valuable, its significance was not great for everyone present, especially Violet.
After spending some time in this forbidden area passed down by the Brown Bird Tribe, the group left.

Gugasha did not run around with them. The Brown Bird Tribe on Omo Island, as well as various races of magical beasts, suffered heavy losses in the attack. As a leader, she had many important tasks to handle.
Finally, many magical beasts and creatures composed of reinforcements gradually arrived from the surrounding islands. From them, Violet confirmed the news that the distress signal was indeed blocked by some special force.
Perhaps it was the departure of that mysterious entity that finally lifted this hindrance.
Because the situation was unclear, Sigrid was not sure if the Abyss Beasts would return. Therefore, after reorganizing the team, they, along with Violet and others, stayed on Omo Island for one more night.
By dawn, a large number of regular-winged soldiers, urgently dispatched from nearby islands under the command of the Feathered Emperor, arrived at this small island. Moreover, there were no new Abyss creatures appearing nearby, and the captain of the guard gradually felt relieved.
After reporting the situation here to the winged military commander, Sigrid and her group left. After all, they were just passing through this place by chance, and their travel plans were not generous.
In the battle to support Omo Island, many winged soldiers under Sigrid’s command also sacrificed. Although she brought elite forces to minimize casualties, due to various unexpected events such as falling from the sky, the casualties were still quite severe. Over three hundred people, a full fifth, remained on the battlefield forever.
Fortunately, when the falling incident occurred, they had not yet dispersed under Violet’s interference. After landing, a large part of them maintained a grouped formation. Otherwise, those not skilled in solo combat, especially the silver-feathered magicians and long-range professionals who lost mobility due to wing injuries, would hardly have survived.
After reporting the details of the journey to the Feathered Emperor in the Sky City, Sigrid continued the journey with the protection of the delegation.

The capital of the Azure Sky Kingdom, known as the Sky City or Sky Island, is a colossal floating island situated in the southern part of its territory, reaching an impressive altitude of six thousand meters, making it the world’s tallest and largest floating island.
Considering the current location of the delegation and the average flying speed of Leviathan’s offspring, it would likely take at least half a year to reach there.
After all, the total area of the one hundred thousand floating islands in the Azure Sky Kingdom is already comparable to the entire Human United Kingdom. Moreover, these islands are scattered throughout the airspace, and the distances between them often exceed their own individual areas.
If forced to describe it, the Azure Sky Kingdom is probably the largest country in terms of territorial range in the world. Its airspace area is several times larger than the average of several other major nations.
Because of this, apart from short to medium-distance flights, there are corresponding means for long-distance journeys that span vast national borders.
This was known as spatial teleportation.
