Chapter 1021: Lords and former demigods
The sudden sound was extremely deafening, like thunder.
Before Lei Xiao and his party could react, a strange old man in blue robes stepped through the space and appeared in the control hall of Light Chaser Castle.
The old man in blue robe was tall and straight, his beard, hair and pupils were all blue, and there was a faint flash of energy in his eyes. He looked calm and intimidating.
Just by the old man standing there, Lei Xiao suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of oppression in his heart, as if he was not facing a person, but a majestic tower that covered the sky and the sun. Like an ancient iceberg.
"Protect the lord!"
Almost at the same time, Xion, Hibiscus and other main subordinates were all ready for battle.
I saw Jiang Li, Hu Zhan, Hong Ye and other main subordinates immediately protecting Lei Xiao.
Around the old man, thousands of heavily armed combat dolls emerged out of thin air, crowding the entire control hall and filling the air with a chilling atmosphere.
"Although the absolute defensive barrier covering Crystal Blue City has not been fully restored, it is still enough to resist the attack of a hundred thousand troops. Moreover, all kinds of teleportation spells are prohibited inside and outside the Light Chaser Castle. How did he get in?"
With doubts in his mind, Lei Xiao froze his eyebrows, and then said to the battle puppet commander who was waiting for him: "Xion, how is the situation with the absolute defense barrier?"
"Back to Lord, the absolute defense barrier is intact!"
Xion also put on the attire of a heavy infantryman and stood in the position closest to the old man in blue robes, ready for battle.
"In that case, let's all disperse."
Lei Xiao waved his hand gently, his voice as calm as water.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that since the opponent could even pass through the absolute defensive barrier that could withstand the attack of a sixth-level powerhouse.
So in this small space, once there is a conflict with the other party, the result is obviously unpredictable.
Therefore, instead of causing tension, it is better to be honest with each other and see if there is any chance of a turning point. After all, there is no hatred at all between you and the unexpected opponent, and it is not a hostile relationship.
Following Lei Xiao's order, the heavily armed combat dolls made way for them, and Lei Xiao, surrounded by the main subordinates, came directly in front of the blue-robed old man.
"I've met the old gentleman. I'm just here to rescue the tribesmen trapped here. I don't mean to disturb you. If you have offended me in any way, please forgive me."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao stroked his chest and bowed, the etiquette was extremely appropriate.
"Don't blame those who don't know. The old man is not an unreasonable person."
The old man in blue robe nodded slightly and said calmly: "I don't care about worldly affairs. I have been cultivating here for a long time. What time is it now?"
"The year 3000 of the Star Era is complete."
Lei Xiao responded to the other party without hesitation.
"The Era of Stars? How come I have never heard of this chronological method? Shouldn't it be the Silver Moon Era now?"
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, the wrinkled face of the old man in blue robe was startled at first, and then confusion and confusion began to appear one after another: "When did the old man start practicing?"
"No, it's not just that. Who is Lao Chan? Where does Lao Chan come from? What is Lao Chan's name? Why can't Lao Chan remember anything?"
Along with the increasingly puzzled voice of the old man in blue robe, his originally solid body began to become illusory, as if he was affected by the fluctuations of the old man's emotions.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao couldn't help but look at each other with his subordinates. Although he didn't know the other party's true identity yet, judging from the current situation, this was obviously not the other party's true identity.
At the same time, Lei Xiao could already tell through the detailed words of the blue-robed old man.
The other party must have come from the Silver Moon Era before the Blank Era, and had never had contact with other people after the Blank Era. This led to the ignorance of the existence of the Star Era.
This can also be supported by the fact that the other party has lost his memory.
After all, whether it is Rei, Xion, or the Queen of the Phantom Tribe who have experienced that era, they have lost most or even all of their memories of that era.
"With such unfathomable strength, plus coming from the Silver Moon Era, could it be that he is?"
Recalling the conversation with the Queen of the Phantom Tribe in the illusion not long ago, Lei Xiao seemed to realize something and asked: "Old sir, are you the chosen son of God?"
"Yes, I am indeed the chosen son of God."
After Lei Xiao's prompting, the old man in blue robe remembered something and was about to take something out of his arms. However, the next second, his movements suddenly froze.
"The emblem of the God's Family is clearly on the old man's body, but he can't touch it?"
After being stunned for a long time, a trace of peace appeared on the old man's originally confused face. He sighed softly and said: "So it turns out that the old man is not an old man, but a wisp of residual energy? So let's put it this way , has the old body been destroyed long ago?"
Hearing the sound, all the subordinates couldn't help but look at each other.
Even a ray of residual energy can easily penetrate the absolute defensive barrier that is enough to block a sixth-level expert. How terrifying was the true strength of this blue-robed old man back then?
"A seventh-level powerhouse was also called a demigod in the Silver Moon Era. As long as he can break through the shackles again, he can enter the divine realm and become a member of the gods."
Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath and finally said what he was thinking just now.
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, all the subordinates suddenly realized.
Lei Xiao had already talked about what he heard from the Queen of the Phantom Tribe in his spare time, so the subordinates were no strangers to these past events. Only Mia looked confused and froze in place.
However, under Chaoyan's whispering explanation, she quickly understood the general outline of the matter.
"Demigod? The old man was indeed revered as a demigod back then, and his status was comparable to that of the king of a country. However, the old man yearned for the divine realm and has been cultivating in Ice and Stone City with great concentration, never slacking off for a moment."
The blue-robed old man's eyes were blurred, and he told his remaining memory: "But how did I encounter the enemy and be completely destroyed? It is simply unbelievable."
"Old sir, I'm sorry to be frank, but it's not just you, there were many things that were destroyed in that era, and many unsolved mysteries that are still difficult to explain are left behind."
Lei Xiao first waved his hands to disperse the fighting puppet soldiers around him, and then described everything he knew to the old man in blue robe.
"Judging from the current clues, there may have been some kind of internal conflict among the gods in that era, which caused some of the gods to side with all races. This would lead to the destruction of all races' civilizations and the land favored by the gods. .
"Or maybe the evil gods who had been eliminated by the gods came back and bewitched the ignorant races, causing the gods to impose divine punishment and finally abandon this land that had lost its faith."
"Or maybe it's neither, it's just that we haven't found more traces of that era yet."
"In short, in the 3000 years since the Blank Age, which is what I call the Star Era, not only have most of the brilliant races at that time been destroyed, but the gods have no longer favored this land, and everything about the Blank Age, It all becomes a series of unsolved mysteries of the world.
"No one knows what happened at that time, and those who knew it were already lost in the torrent of history following the blank era."
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, the old man in blue robe was silent for a long time, and then he sighed heavily and said: "It turns out that after sleeping for thousands of years, when the old man wakes up, not only is the old man no longer an old man, but even this old man is no longer an old man. Has the world also changed?"
"Mr. Whitebeard, how did you wake up and how did you appear here?"
Chaoyan came over with his big eyes blinking and asked the question that everyone present wanted to ask.
"It's because of your arrival that the old man will wake up again."
The old man in blue robe moved his old eyes and looked at the control hall of the Light Chaser Castle. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Crystal Blue City? When Father God built this city, the old man seemed to have witnessed Father God with his own eyes. His great power and divine shadow, but I have forgotten them all now."
At this point, the blue-robed old man's eyes narrowed, and he said kindly to Chaoyan: "Jinglan City has the same origin as my Ice Stone City, and it is much better preserved than Ice Stone City. It is not enough to wake me up. Surprising."
"Dear old gentleman, is the Ice Stone City you are talking about the one on the magic screen?"
Mia grabbed Chaoyan's sleeve tightly and asked cautiously. That was the green city where her people were trapped.
"Yes, Lao Chan woke up from there, and he has already sensed a large amount of aura on it. They have brought the long-lost breath of life to Lao Chan, a city that has been abandoned for a long time. Lao Chan is deeply pleased."
The old man in blue robe gently stroked his blue beard, which was like ice silk, and nodded slightly.
After hearing what the other party said, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Through the words of the Queen of the Phantom Clan, Lei Xiao has already learned.
The land of gods is divided into two types: "worship" and "cultivation".
From this point of view, the "Ice Stone City" mentioned by the old man in blue robe is obviously the place of the gods used for cultivation.
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao looked at Mia's eager eyes, and then said: "Thank you, old man, for not blaming the tribesmen below for their unintentional disturbance. To be honest, sir, the tribesmen below have been trapped here for three months. We have run out of ammunition and food, can you please allow me to meet with him as soon as possible?"
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao briefly described the relationship between the Zhuyue clan, himself and Ariel.
"So that's it. I didn't expect that when I opened my eyes, I met Her Majesty the Queen and His Highness the Prince."
The old man in blue robe nodded slightly, expressing some respect in his words.
The old man's sharp eyes stayed on Lei Xiao for a moment, then nodded and said: "Young man, in an era when the gods have left, the fact that you can still obtain the dual recognition of the God's Family Badge and the Crystal Blue City is enough to prove that you His extraordinary qualities are enough to win the respect of the old man, who is willing to help."
"Thanks for your help, old gentleman."
Lei Xiao and Ariel touched their chests and saluted together, which also expressed the due respect for this former demigod.
"You're welcome, it's just a little effort."
The old man in blue robe smiled faintly at Lei Xiao, and immediately a look of solemnity appeared on his face.
He stretched out his skinny old hand and gently hooked it, and the pale green city floating in the dark blue space in the distance quickly moved closer to the Crystal Blue City.
After a while, it was obvious through the magic screen that the two cities were already gate to city gate, closely adjacent to each other, making the scene very magical.
Lei Xiao could even clearly see that the shorter city wall opposite was soon filled with fully armed half-elf archers, all of whom looked ready.
"Okay, let's go over there."
After the blue-robed old man finished speaking, he took his own steps. The next second, he appeared at the gate dozens of meters away, which was quite mysterious.
"This must be at least the strength of a sixth-level powerhouse, right? Even the remaining energy body of a demigod can reach this level. It is simply unimaginable how terrifying the old man in blue robe was back then."
Shocked in their hearts, Lei Xiao and his subordinates also took steps, following closely behind the blue-robed old man.
Not long after, the group arrived at the gate of Crystal Blue City.
Under Lei Xiao's order, as the city gate slowly opened, another giant city gate surrounded by vines appeared in front of Lei Xiao's eyes.
The city gate is mottled and completely closed.
"The Zhuyue clan members must still be unclear about the situation. How should they negotiate with the other party?"
Just when Lei Xiao frowned slightly.
The old man in blue robe moved his fingers casually, and the mottled city gate opposite, which was originally closed, began to slowly open.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly.
By the way, that was the sacred place where the blue-robed old man cultivated.
In other words, the old man in blue robe is the master there, so it is easy to open the city gate.
As the city gate surrounded by vines on the opposite side opened, a heroic and tall half-elf woman holding a giant bow appeared in front of everyone with neat rows of half-elf archers. Nocking an arrow, UU Reading looked like he was ready for battle.
"This is the territory of Zhuyue Clan, who is coming?"
Although the fair and delicate face of the leading half-elf woman was full of doubts, there was an undoubted determination in her steady voice.
It can be clearly seen from the half-elf army formation that is ready to attack that as long as there is any change on our side, the opponent will immediately fire thousands of arrows.
"Aunt, it's me who's back!"
Seeing this, Mia first nodded gratefully to Lei Xiao, and then ran over happily.
"Mia? Is it really you?"
Seeing the half-elf girl jumping up and down, the frosty face of the leading half-elf woman suddenly melted away.
She put down her heavy bow and arrows, waved her hand to signal the half-elf soldiers around her to take off their guard, and then quickly came up to them. (End of chapter)
