Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

He looked at the moss-covered mottled stone walls with traces of wind and frost. He wiped away the dust and moss, revealing shallow scratches that had been made by sharp weapons.

“That mysterious energy…Those people are extremely proficient in the use of mysterious energy. Many warriors use light blades that extend from the sprayers on the armrests, just like this…”

He stretched out his hand, and the light power in the Star Right Divine Ring was controlled by him. It outlined a shining armor, and light blades spewed out from it.

Long Niang shook her head and said,” The dragons have never had any records of such energy weapons being deployed on a large scale. It’s too extravagant. It’s a waste to forge such high-purity elemental crystals into low-efficiency magic close-combat weapons for single soldiers. Those who can materialize elements as weapons will also be equipped with stronger holy weapons.”

” But this unprecedented new substance has never appeared before,” Kant said softly.” Has it?”

Based on his observation, the weapons used by these mysterious warriors were highly developed in the development and application of mysterious elements. The light spikes that shot out from the vambrace, the giant axes that slashed in their hands, the staffs that fired missiles, and the blades that spun in the air were all different and strange. Kant had never seen some of them before, but they shared a common characteristic.

The handle, the handle, the launcher, and other human-computer interaction parts were made of solid materials such as metal, wood, and so on. As for the blade part, it was a dazzling illusory purple light body. It was illusory, transparent, and beautiful.

However, it was extremely sharp and unstoppable.

“Even the shield and armor are the same.”

The energy shield that they had discussed with Horus earlier had been skillfully used by them. It was just that the mechanical and engineering attainments of these creatures were clearly far inferior to the designs of the Transformers. They could not be light and portable, shrink and combine, and change. However, the path that the father and son had envisioned had been realized by these Ancients.

This included the small shield generator on the armor.

“If you don’t look at their faces, they look like a group of star spirits who have been high on adrenaline.”

Lily could not get the description, but she had already understood the general situation of these ancient people from Kant’s general description. If they came from an organization, then the organization’s excavation and application of mysterious energy was undoubtedly very deep.

Not only did they forge them into armor and equipment, but they also used them as their own strength in battle. Every one of them had purple light shining in their eyes when they fought, turning into wind, fire, ice, and lightning. They also turned into telekinesis, tearing apart control and annihilation.

” According to my previous observations and experiments, this mysterious energy is extremely corrosive and invasive to living creatures. Not only do these people have the technology to cast and use mysterious elements, but they can also use them directly in battle…” Lily analyzed,” They might have a secret method to make it harmless.”

Kant nodded slowly.

” The mysterious elements come from the underground. This group of ancient people who are proficient in using the mysterious elements and mastering the forging process were also active underground countless times ago. Perhaps we can infer that this dark and deep place that never sees the sun probably hides the ruins and even the legacy left by this organization. Not only does it include a shocking amount of mysterious elements, but it also has a way to safely use them…”

” What do you mean?” Long Niang glanced at Kant.” This is…” It’s not good news.”

The Fire Stealer’s power could turn the mysterious elements harmless. Kant had already mastered the core technology, so monopolizing it was always the most profitable. The emergence of competing products meant that the era of easy profits would never return.

What was even worse was that the missing dragons seemed to be ahead of them.

.. Wait a minute.

Kant frowned.” We found this hidden cave entrance through the phenomenon of time flashback and by observing the actions and traces of the ancient people. How did the dragons find their way here?”

” Who knows?” Long Niang said calmly.” Perhaps this place is recorded in the secret texts of the dragon race. Perhaps an old dragon of the conservative party knows some obscure things from ancient times. As the grandson of the Armory Elder, Tracy might have heard some rumors and secrets. After all, they’re not like me. The entire dragon race is on guard against me, afraid that I’ll run away with outsiders after reading some top-secret documents.”

“What do you say now?” Kant asked with a smile. Were their worries prescient?”

Long Niang snorted and glanced at him from the corner of her eyes.” You think too highly of yourself. It’s obvious that I’ve been bullied by them since I was young. That’s why I’m giving them a hard time and not letting me see the ancient records in the treasury?” I just had to sneak in to see if I was full. Are you afraid that I would run away with a wild man? I want to pick an ugly and stupid guy to run…”

” I’m warning you!” Kant said angrily.” Don’t go against your conscience!”

Lily nodded.” Okay, okay. I was wrong. As long as it doesn’t involve women, you’re not stupid at all.”

“That’s the point! Look at my face, which is popular among thousands of girls, and say it again!”

“Okay, okay, okay. I was wrong. You’re the most handsome man here.”

“..”

” Don’t be discouraged, Kant. According to my observation and understanding, every race prefers to watch the Beauty and the Beast series. That is, ugly, disgusting, filthy, and repulsive males, as well as noble, elegant, beautiful, weak, and fair, alluring females. This is because the more intelligent life forms that lean toward morality and order, the more they will develop a dark desire to trample on beauty. It’s not unique to you humans. Let me tell you, the elves prefer this.”

“So don’t be discouraged. Even if you’re not good-looking, there’s still a market for you. Didn’t you take down the Phoenix King? Let me tell you, Derila is definitely a quiet person. I could tell this from the moment we were on the road to Lucerne. When she thought about you, she would definitely think,’Why would I fall in love with a human and be treated like this by a lowly and dirty human?’”

“And those elves who heard about the scandal between you and the Phoenix King. On the surface, they wailed as if their mother had died, but their hearts must be filled with thoughts…”

Lily was very excited whenever they talked about this. This was the long-term observation of the world’s races by a dragon scholar with a strong thirst for knowledge. It was the kind that could give +8 in sociology.

She said mysteriously,” It’s true. I often go to the elves to collect information because I believe that the more elegant and noble a perfect race is, the dirtier their hearts will be. As expected, although these elves are reserved and proud on the surface, the most widely spread in private is the plot of beautiful female elves being beaten up by dirty and lowly human dwarves and beggars. Sometimes, it’s not just humans, but also…”

“Go, go, go, go!” Kant chased her away in disgust. Ever since Long Niang had let herself loose, a high-speed rail would come from time to time, regardless of the occasion or location.

” She’s trying to make you relax, Father.”

” I have to say,” Horus could not help but remind him.” Ever since you encountered the space-time flashback, you’ve been a little absent-minded. You’re exactly like Ah Xing.”

Kant was silent.

Apart from Horus, Parrot, Ah Xing, Lily, and Tina more or less knew many of Kant’s secrets. He was a Fire Stealer, and he had secrets from Earth. The reason why secrets were worth sharing was because they could be shared and shared.

However, Kant subconsciously kept a secret.

Even Horus did not reveal it.

What he heard in the Grivind Hive…Doomsday Sound.

The vast and terrifying voice said that everything was destined.

Ever since then, Kant had been feeling uneasy. He realized that everything was connected. It was not a coincidence that he had transmigrated, nor was it a coincidence that he had transmigrated to the Sacred Seal Islands. He had obtained the power of the Fire Stealer, traveled between the two worlds, got involved in the Songyue War, and the African War. He had obtained the Scarlet Scroll, gotten Tacitus, and listened to the sound of the end of the world. It was as if an invisible hand was controlling everything.

Ever since he returned to the other world from Earth, strange phenomena had occurred one after another. The meteorite that fell towards the elves ‘camp had no head or tail, and then the disappearance of the dragon diplomatic mission had become more and more deeply involved. From the mysterious elements that he had never heard of but were extremely terrifying to the flashback of time that connected the secrets of the past, all of these coincidences made him uneasy. He had a strange feeling that the wheel of fate had begun to turn.

Just like what Hong San was worried about when he found out about this.

” Is my lord blessed with great fortune and destined to achieve great things, or is there a terrifying mighty figure with unimaginable power plotting against you?”

The reason why fate made people feel helpless was because of the four words, they could not help themselves.

Even though he realized that there was a problem, he did not dare to retreat.

Otherwise, who knew what kind of disaster would happen when the dragon Tricia, who had lost its mind and was seduced, completed its so-called upgrade and obtained the inheritance of the ancient people?

Kant exhaled slowly.

He wasn’t distracted.

Instead…He was a little tired.

In the next moment, a fragrant wind blew in his face. Two small hands grabbed his collar. In front of him, Long Niang gently tiptoed. Her cherry lips were moist, her nose bridge was high, and her eyelashes were long and narrow. Her beautiful face, which could be called an icy beauty, approached.

Then, with a loud thud, his forehead collided with Kant’s.

The Dragon’s Oath glowed.

A moment later, Lily retracted her head and took half a step back. She frowned.” You look a little tired. Will the space-time flashback cause mental stress?” Take a break?”

Kant composed himself and shook his head.” No, we don’t have much time. Let’s continue chasing.”

That kind of fatigue was not something that could be soothed by physical rest.

Before Long Niang could object or intervene, Kant had already stepped into the cave.

“Let’s go. There’s a long way inside.”

The scouts emitted light and illuminated the road ahead.

” Hey!” Lily subconsciously reached out her hand.

Ah Xing, who was standing beside Kant, followed him in. It seemed that she was still sleepwalking. Ever since she entered the underground world, she had become very strange. Even when Kant had just been sticking to Lily, she did not show any reaction.

Long Niang looked at the two figures and sighed as she rubbed her head.

She chased after him.

This narrow and long passage was the place where ancient people passed through. A battle had taken place here.

Although the walls were weathered and mottled, dense scratches could still be seen. The battle here was fierce and restrained. The ancient people used their strength carefully to avoid collapsing the cave.

To ensure that Kant was in high spirits, Lily chatted with him casually.

“Didn’t you see their facial features?”

“No, they were all wearing helmets or masks. Moreover, I was outside at that time and looked into the cave. Their enemies surged out from the depths of this passage. I only saw them fighting wildly inside. The few brothers who walked at the back showed their light blades and left scratches on the stone wall of the cave…”

“So they didn’t see what their enemy looked like?”

“Yes, I only saw that it was a wild beast or something…Maybe it’s a beast that lives here.”

” Is it the nameless Devilbeast that came out of the ground?” Lily asked.

“Maybe.” Kant shook his head.” They look similar in size. They’re four-legged, fast, and small, but they’re not the only type of enemy they’re facing…”

“Alright then.”

Long Niang and Kant walked side by side. Although it was a tunnel, it was still very wide. Most of the traces of the battle from many years ago had disappeared. Only the sound of footsteps and voices echoed.

“I can’t judge their era from their race and creatures…After all, there has never been a record of this mysterious energy in history. Of course, there is no record of this organization.”

Lily said softly,” It’s really amazing. This unknown substance that could change the times has been sleeping here quietly for countless years. How many secrets are hidden in the world we live in? Why did it appear now?”

Kant’s gaze wavered for a moment, but the complicated look in his eyes disappeared.

“So…”

” Mysterious Element!” Long Niang tilted her head and looked at him.” You keep calling it Mysterious Element. Aren’t you going to consider giving it a formal name?” If things go well, the naming rights will most likely fall into your hands.”

Tiberia, Source Stone, Disintegration Energy, Tec… A bunch of terms flashed through his mind.

If it was any other time, he would definitely babble on and on about things that no one except the parrot could understand, and pick the most annoying one to name this new substance…

But now, he was not in the mood.

” I’m too lazy to think about it. Let’s name it by the sorcerer who first discovered this mysterious element. He’s Stella’s teacher, the one who’s still in self-isolation.”

” If you want the naming rights,” Kant said casually,” you can think of it yourself.”

“You really don’t look right.” Lily stood in front of him.” What’s on your mind?”

Kant walked around her.” It’s fine. We have important matters to attend to.”

Lily grabbed his arm and her expression became serious.” Your business is part of the business. To track Tricia and unravel the secrets of this place, we not only rely on the time and space flashback you experienced, but also on your judgment and decision of the situation. Fire Stealer, you should not continue in this state. You should rest for a while. We have been exploring for almost a whole day, and you haven’t slept much these days…”

” Not yet.” Kant shook his head.” Now is not the time to talk about that.”

“If you don’t want to tell me what’s on your mind, then use your spatial ability to leave this godforsaken place right now. Go find your Princess Tina and bury yourself in her overdeveloped breasts to have a good time. After that, lie in your arms and cry while being comforted by her, understand?”

” If she can’t do it, go find another woman,” Lily said bluntly.” I don’t care what method you use. I’ll give you two hours to pull yourself together.”

Kant tried to break free from his grip.

“Who cares about that Fury-Sucking Dragon? What are you afraid of? If he really leveled up and became a great demon king and caused a disaster, so what? Call someone to chop him up! Dragon Emperor, your lover, the Phoenix King, and the white-bearded members of the Arcane Magic Council are all here to kill him. At most, the mysterious elements will be shared by all countries. You’re the only one who has the technology to make it harmless!”

” That’s strange. Why are you so nice to Goethe?” she asked, poking Kant’s chest. Will you wholeheartedly plan for that country if I give you a princess? Then this old lady…Bah, anyway, why must Goethe enjoy the mystical element alone?”

“Isn’t it better to let the other countries develop and research together? With the core technology in your hands, they can only lick your boots, and their schemes can only be directed at Goethe. Only in this way can the Goethe people understand your good and importance. Otherwise, if you work so hard to solve this problem alone and let Goethe enjoy the benefits alone, what will you do when they study, develop, and have other thoughts about you?”

” Don’t argue with me. I’m telling you, I’ve lived for hundreds of years longer than you. I’ve seen clearly what kind of human beings are like. Forgetting heroes, criticizing heroes, backstabbing heroes, history is full of such stories. Why do you have to plant hidden dangers and let such things happen?”

” You don’t understand,” Kant said, shaking his head.

He wanted Goethe to become stronger, so strong that he didn’t need to rely on the threat of forbidden spells to gain a foothold.

If they had any strange thoughts or even hostility…It wasn’t even a bad thing.

That was because…

“What don’t I know? Am I the one who doesn’t understand, or are you the one who doesn’t understand?” Lily frowned and said,” Perhaps it’s not my place to say this, but I do find it strange. Kant, you are a Fire Stealer, a Fire Stealer of this world, not Goethe’s Fire Stealer. Do you understand? This…”

“-but I don’t want to be a fire-thief!”

The next moment, Kant’s stern shout shook the tunnel. Even Ah Xing was shocked and subconsciously grabbed Kant’s arm.

Lily was first surprised, then confused.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have shouted at you.” Kant was silent for a moment. He patted the back of Ah Xing’s hand gently and said,” Just pretend I didn’t say that.”

He walked around the stunned Lily and walked straight ahead. Ah Xing quickly followed him, while Long Niang stayed behind. She only came back to her senses after a while. She suddenly realized that she still knew too little about Kant.

She hurriedly caught up and saw Ah Xing and Kang De standing not far away. Kang De was frozen on the spot, not moving at all, while Ah Xing was vigilantly looking around. Long Niang’s heart trembled.

Kant had already triggered the fourth time flashback.

In the past, Lily had only been looking forward to finding clues, witnessing the legend, and exploring the past. It was so romantic and tempting. But now, she was also a little uneasy.

What Kant had seen in the past might have become a burden on his mind.

What did he see? What did he think of?

Long Niang slowed down her pace and waited quietly for Kant to finish his task. Based on the third time, Kant, who had gained experience, could last much longer than the previous two times. However, unexpectedly, after a few seconds, Kant’s body began to sway. He staggered a few steps and almost fell down. His face was pale, and his eyes were filled with unprecedented shock.

“What’s wrong?” Lily asked. What did you see?”

Cold sweat rolled down his forehead. Kant’s gaze shifted from Long Niang’s face to Ah Xing, who was beside him.

“Battle…It’s still a battle, but this time it’s very close, right beside me.”

“I saw clearly the appearance of the enemy who was fighting them,”he said slowly.

“What is it?”

Kant closed his eyes.

What was that?

This thought flashed through Long Niang’s mind, but she realized that Ah Xing’s expression had also changed.

Before she could ask further, Kant’s eyes flashed with a red light. He opened his eyes again. The shock and uneasiness in his eyes had been replaced by a stern look. He took out a palm-sized button from his pocket. The button glowed red and flickered.

” Stella warned me. There’s a situation up there. You two retreat outside first.”

He gave a few instructions, but before he could say anything else, Horus flew back to his body and transformed into his combat suit. A dark glow flashed as Kant crossed space and appeared in the fortress on the surface of the Upper Realm.

Stella opened the door and rushed in.” The news has been leaked!” she whispered.

P.S. 1: F * ck, I had a dream last night. I actually dreamed of the following plot… Although it was a mess, it was indeed the direction of the outline. It was amazing.
