Chapter 1515 Tracing the God of War's Trail (3)
Clearly, each stone tablet corresponds to a phantom, some lasting only three to five seconds, others a continuous image. From Zhou Ning's perspective, the river has few tributaries upstream, merely winding. This results in a relatively small number of stone tablets within his field of vision, and their distribution is rather scattered.
The divine aura here was very strong, but Zhou Ning could also sense that the God of War was somewhere in this kingdom of gods. It was not as Zhou Ning had guessed, that he had returned to the first divine war.
He was not alone here, but with him was a weaker being, roughly equivalent to an ordinary god.
However, due to the relatively chaotic atmosphere here, not only the people from the War God Church, but even Zhou Ning could not accurately lock onto their exact location.
Where is the God of War? Who is the person who broke in with him?
Zhou Ning took a deep breath, walked to the first stone tablet, and looked at it intently.
In just a moment, he felt a sense of tug-of-war, a resonance with the passing of time. He quickly and calmly took a step back.
This stone tablet is at the source of the long river of history and describes the "divine text" of the Creator God creating the world in seven days.
In the phantom ahead of the river, one could clearly see a giant with a blurry figure, with his arms outstretched in an embracing gesture, in the dark void. A ray of bright morning light pierced through the darkness and shone above his head.
This... Zhou Ning raised his eyebrows unconsciously. Looking at this skillful and natural way of pretending, there was no doubt that this phantom also corresponded to the scene of the Creator God's seven-day creation of the world.
This also corresponds exactly to the long river of history in the simulator, but the difference is that the initial origin of the long river of history in the simulator is 1450, where the 'protagonist' of the simulator is located, and it was embodied by the creator god. But here, the initial origin is directly the source of everything - the beginning of creation.
In order to avoid accidentally "sneaking into" this history and causing an appearance, Zhou Ning did not try to touch the phantom with his divinity. He just stared at it seriously for a while, then walked around it and walked southwest along the river to the second stone tablet.
This stone tablet praises the scene of the God of Creation killing the God of Knowledge, the best among the ancient gods. In the illusion, Zhou Ning saw the God of Creation using the magic of creation to create a mountain and smash it towards the God of Knowledge.
At this point, the first tributary of the long river of history appeared. In another tributary, the God of Knowledge found some ancient gods as helpers, successfully changed history, extended the defeat time by 5 minutes, and caused those helpers to perish together.
Because there was a powerful Gleipnir among these helpers, he jumped against the wind and stayed there forever, which led to the emergence of the second tributary.
"Compared to the wretched brother, I would like to call this Gleipnir the brother who deserves a beating. He is always on the front line of the beating..." Recalling the several fights between himself and Gleipnir, Zhou Ning smiled, made up his mind, and continued to walk towards the third stone tablet.
The third and fourth stone tablets still recorded the battles between the God of Creation and other ancient gods. Zhou Ning still avoided touching these phantoms with his divinity, and examined the inscriptions and the corresponding phantoms one by one.
There are contents about him fighting against various ancient gods and becoming the savior of the world, and about him using his authority to create thirteen righteous gods and becoming the father of all gods. On the twenty-seventh stone tablet, Zhou Ning also saw the scene of the arrival of a god from outer space.
The entire sky was covered in a terrifying dark green color, and pairs of scarlet eyes appeared at infinite heights, looking down at the Apocalypse Continent from above the astral realm and from a higher dimension.
A moment later, the scene shifted. The God of Creation raised his right hand and pointed toward the astral realm. He gathered the tiny drops of fate and time into a path of destiny, a long river of time, and let it flow toward the astral realm. Opposite him stood a shriveled giant the size of a planet, twisted beyond words, emanating an aura of decay and depravity.
Is this the God from outer space?
Despite only a fleeting glimpse, and despite being unaffected by any divine suppression, Zhou Ning could still confirm that the other person was a pillar, and his strength was no less than that of the God of Creation. His strength was somewhat beyond Zhou Ning's expectations.
More importantly, judging from the eyes that appeared at the beginning, there should be more than one outer star god. It is unknown how the Creator God will deal with them.
According to the information he already had, the alien gods from the starry sky had been continuously invading the Apocalypse World. Zhou Ning's eyes were slightly solemn. If the doomsday in December 1457 corresponded to the invasion of the alien gods from the starry sky, it would undoubtedly be very difficult for him to deal with it with his current strength.
But now it is January 15, 1454, and there are still more than three years for growth. At my own growth rate, although the time is tight, it is not impossible.
Zhou Ning walked past the stone tablet with a calm expression and headed for the next corner. Turning the corner, the 28th stone tablet stood not far away. The scene before him made him slightly stunned.
The river where the twenty-eighth stone tablet was located split into a large number of tributaries flowing in all directions. On one of the tributaries, stood an illusory black clock, completely isolating the tributary and forming an isolated island surrounded by vacuum, which could only be observed from a distance.
This is an island in time!
Zhou Ning had a vague guess, and then he looked at the twenty-eighth stone tablet and the corresponding phantom on the main stream of the river.
Sure enough, this is the first war between gods!
As for the time island, it is obvious that this is the first war of gods in the simulator. In the current timeline, the Sun Goddess went to this time island.
Zhou Ning's eyes moved, and a few seconds later, he saw two figures on the side of the 28th stone tablet.
One was a man wearing golden armor and had long golden hair, and the other was a young lady wearing a black cloak, with a slender figure and a low-profile appearance.
It's Ares and Meredith!
Zhou Ning's eyes dimmed slightly. Meredith's figure seemed a little illusory. It was obvious that she was in a soul state. She had died and had become a servant god serving the God of War through some unknown means.
The armor on the God of War was slightly damaged at this time, and it was obvious that he had experienced a great battle, but his aura was not weakened. He was concentrating on observing the phantom on the Time Island in the form of an observer.
At this time, the God of War raised his head, saw Zhou Ning, and said calmly in a familiar tone like an old friend:
"You're here at last, Wayne Stewell."
At the same time, a prompt finally came from Zhou Ning's panel:
[You have completed the S-level mission: [Request from the Church of the God of War].]
Mission Summary: After visiting the Church of the God of War, you learned a shocking secret: the God of War has truly lost contact, his last known trace leading to Fort Bordan, the capital of the Byron Republic. Pope Gallop III of the Church of the God of War has reached out to you for help. Your spiritual perception suggests this place harbors many secrets and unpredictable dangers. Should you accept their request and explore Fort Bordan, or should you respect your own perception and wait and see?
[You have received the mission reward: 4650 million experience points, and you have received 1 item reward. Do you want to claim it?]
Zhou Ning temporarily chose no, and then the panel came with a follow-up prompt:
[You have triggered the S-level mission: Listen to the God of War's story!]
Mission Summary: After finding the God of War, he seems very interested in what's happening on the Time Island. Talk to him and listen to his story. Then make the necessary choice. Cooperate with the God of War to the end, or choose to refuse? The choice is yours!
[Tip: This mission is extremely difficult and will affect the game progress, so please choose carefully.]
[Task reward: unknown. 】
Zhou Ning suppressed his emotions. He had a good impression of this righteous god and immediately thought of a way to communicate. He nodded to Meredith, then looked at the God of War and asked:
"You seem to be waiting for me here?"
At this moment, everyone in the Church of the God of War and the players noticed the scene and hurried over. Gallup III and several other Angel Kings shed tears of excitement and prostrated themselves on the ground.
"Great God!"
The God of War did not immediately answer Zhou Ning's question. Instead, he glanced calmly at everyone in the God of War Church and said in a majestic voice:
"I see your loyalty. Rise up. Justice and order will protect you."
