Chapter 616 The Beast Devouring Gods
Deep in the library, stands the throne of the former Fairy Queen.

The throne was empty. Not only that, the backrest was covered with marks left by swords and gnawed by some kind of ferocious beast. It seemed like a brutal battle had taken place here.

The stench in the air made Eden wrinkle his nose, but it had no effect, because he was in the state of soul. This stench was not the kind of stench in the human world, but a stench that penetrated deep into the soul.

Eden drifted slowly, stretched out his hand, and tried to get closer to the throne.

Suddenly, the surrounding bookshelves erupted with squeaking sounds, like hoarse crying and wailing. At the same time, the books began to buzz, opening and closing, like a rhythmic cry for help, as if There was something like a ghost sitting on the throne.

"This!"

Eden was frightened. At this moment, a broken lens slowly floated from left to right.

The scene in the library was reflected in the mirror.

Everything was the same, the only difference was that sitting on the throne was a withered goblin.

Eden froze in place.

The body is as dry as a monkey that has been dried in the sun, the shabby but prosperous clothes, the face that is so pale and bloodless, the whole body hangs lifelessly on the throne, as if telling the tragedy that the entire sea of ​​souls has experienced. .

Eden shuddered after realizing it. He grabbed the lens and moved closer to the throne.

The strange movements around him became louder and louder, the noises on the bookshelves became more intense, and books kept opening and closing. For a moment, the whole library seemed to be boiling, as if it was preventing Eden from touching some taboo that could not be mentioned.

Eden approached the throne, and the moment he touched the throne.

The shoulders... seemed to be grabbed by something.

Eden was stuck.

He used the reflection of the lenses to see a pale and slender hand on his shoulder.

The owner of the hand looks like a mummified goblin.

Eden stopped. He was a little out of breath and didn't dare to breathe. After he came to his senses, he wanted to recite the ancient sayings, but hesitated.

The goblin behind him didn't move for a long time.

Eden turned his head and realized that he couldn't see him, but could only see him through the reflection in the mirror.

After a long silence, Eden finally spoke:

"You... who are you?"

The goblin behind him didn't answer. He was just breathing slowly and slowly, as if he would die at any time.

The two sides seemed to be in a stalemate, maintaining a strange and weird balance.

"What happened here?"

Eden asked.

After the words fell, the goblin behind him finally made some movement. His body trembled. Eden saw through the lenses that his lips were trembling, like a survivor hesitating whether to tell about the horrific experience.

After a while, the goblin released his grip on Eden's shoulders and floated up slowly. Eden saw through the lens that the goblin was floating among the books that were opening and closing. Then, he grabbed someone. This book then slowly brought it over.

Eden caught the book and took a closer look. He found that the book had no title. He opened the pages and found that the writing inside was scrawled, as if it had been recorded in an extremely urgent situation.

[Heris, the god of mountains and craftsmen, accompanied by the roar of the beast, the huge sound wave destroyed his stars, violent pale showers fell, thousands of craftsman temples collapsed, the idols were annihilated, Heris, fell. 】

[Graman, the god of cold wind, set off countless violent winds in an attempt to stop the beasts, but when darkness broke out from the ice, the colorless cold wind was instantly dyed pale, and Graman was swallowed up by his cold wind. , fell. 】

[The storm god Utus and the wine god Sipos put aside their old grudges. They galloped on the battlefield of the stars, thunder and wine intertwined, trying their best to save a glimmer of hope for the country of the gods, but the beasts sprayed poison and tore their fangs apart. The arrogant storm shattered, poisonous wine spread across the stars, Utus and Sipos fell. 】

[Kagaus, the prophecy god, such an ancient god, how much prestige he enjoys among the gods, but under the pressure of the beast, the golden palace collapsed, the prophecy stars collapsed, and even he was unable to withstand the pale shower , the prophecy stars turned into pupilless eyes in the sea of ​​stars, tirelessly devouring the lost souls, and Kagaus became a servant. 】

………………

Eden was trembling all over, a feeling of horror surged up, his soul was restless, and a sudden fear kept invading his mind. He couldn't believe what he saw.

This book is like a miserable tragedy,

At the end of the tragic songs, there is a cold word - death.

And all the records above point to the same fact.
[Those gods, those gods, they died, were destroyed, fled, the kingdom of gods was destroyed, and the beast came. 】

I don't know how long it took before Eden finally recovered.

He kept breathing heavily, flipping through the book in his hand, and then holding his head, unable to believe that this was the end of the gods.

Those are the gods, the high-altitude gods who rule the celestial kingdom and enjoy the reverence of thousands of believers on the earth.

How Eden wished these were just made-up poems.

But what happened in the Sea of ​​Souls made his expectations come to nothing.

These gods ended up like this...

So... where is the Lord?
Another wave of fear hit Eden's heart, and the string called "faith" in his mind kept trembling.

He felt his heart tighten and his whole body was shaken. His heart seemed to be stabbed and shattered by something sharp. He stood motionless in the large library.

"No, no, no."

I don’t know how long it took for Eden to regain his composure and subconsciously denied,

“If even the Lord has fallen, what else will people believe in?”

Although Iden understood that even if the gods fell, unknowing mortals would still believe in him. For example, the former king of the gods had countless mortals building temples and performing sacrifices for him even in his own era.

But Eden still explained it this way.

Suddenly, Eden thought of something again.

He suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the stone pendant on his chest.

"I...I have it, I can change this future, Lord, I can do it."

Holding the pendant on his chest, Eden finally calmed down. His breathing was no longer rapid, but calmed down.

Immediately afterwards, Eden closed the book in his hand, turned his head, and looked at the goblin through the lenses.

"Are you... the recorder of all this?"

The goblin didn't nod, but pointed to the throne.

Apparently, the dead Goblin King on the throne is the recorder of this book.

Eden thought for a while, and he felt that the Goblin King on the throne was probably not the Goblin Queen of his time. After all, the time between the two was too far apart. In this long time, it is reasonable for the throne to change.

"The Sea of ​​Souls... was also destroyed by the beasts mentioned in the book?"

Eden asked.In the mirror, the goblin suddenly trembled violently, revealing deep panic.

Just when Iden thought he was trapped in the horror of the beast that swallowed the gods, he saw the goblin shake his head.

Eden was stunned for a moment.

He read a huge amount of information from the goblin's actions.

For a moment, it seemed like there were thousands of words stuck in the goblin's throat.

Eden saw that the goblin's face turned ferocious, and then his eyes curved, showing a strange expression that seemed to be crying or laughing. Then he slowly sank, looking for something in the endless collection of books in the big library. Finally, he slowly rose, A piece of parchment was handed to Iden.

This piece of parchment is like an epic fragment lost in the endless desert.

Eden picked up the parchment, and under the influence of the stone pendant, he could understand all the words on it.

Among the ancient fragments, there are only these few paragraphs:
Beasts, you have devoured all the gods, so why don't you know you are full?

We crawl at your feet, do you still want to devour us?

Beasts, we have betrayed our clan's oath and acted in favor of the tiger.

King of kings, King of kings, O King of kings,

Beast, do you crawl at His feet?

because of our sins,
Our God has destroyed our country.

…………

Seeing this, Eden held his forehead as if he had seen a ghost. There were countless thoughts colliding with each other in his mind, and he even felt a little dizzy.

I clearly remember that the goblins believe in the Lord of the True Religion.

But, Lord, how could the Lord destroy their kingdom?
Not only will it not destroy the kingdom of goblins, but how can the Lord allow the so-called beasts to cause harm to everyone?

All kinds of questions kept popping up, constantly crowding Eden's brain. He kept trying to find an explanation, but every time he thought of an explanation, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Finally, Eden caught something, and he couldn't help but ask:
"Have you...have you taken refuge in my King of Kings?"

In the mirror, the goblin nodded.

Eden nodded slightly. At this moment, many clues could finally be connected slightly.

The beast that devours gods...crowds at the feet of the King of Kings. It brought countless gods to their doom and their demise.

The goblins broke their oaths, acted as accomplices to the beasts that devoured the gods, and participated in the destruction of the kingdom of gods.

But my king, the king, destroyed the sea of ​​souls because of the sins of the fairies.

Tens of thousands of goblins were annihilated on the spot, and the country that had stood for thousands of years was burned to the ground. The king of goblins died on the throne, on the sea of ​​souls. There was only one survivor left, hiding in unknown ways. He got up and survived, and his presence was only visible through the reflection of the lenses.

"The king of my kings..."

Iden murmured in a low voice about this god who came from nowhere.

This god is revered by thousands of people and believed in by countless people on the earth. Their number of believers is enough to rival the world of true religion.

The beliefs of those pagans are by no means groundless. Not only are they not groundless, but the gods they believe in...have the power to destroy the kingdom of gods.

Thinking of this, Eden couldn't help but tremble, and he shuddered.

"Lord...Lord, why do you arrange my destiny like this?
The god worshiped by pagan religions destroyed the kingdom of gods. The entire celestial kingdom belongs to him, and nearly half of the earth belongs to him. Countless mortals in countless countries prostrate themselves under his power, and I...I can What to do for you?I am not a prophet, let alone an angel. How can I shoulder such a mission? Lord, have you given me such a mission?How can I, a heretic priest, contend with such a god? "

Eden trembled, praying and calling involuntarily. He closed his eyes, feeling empty inside. I don't know how long it took, but faith failed to soothe his heart. The warm and stable feeling disappeared, as if... His Lord was gone, gone, and would never come back.

Eden's heart was filled with fear.

"If...if it were not the Lord's arrangement...

But...but the so-called arrangement of the King of Kings?

No!That would be terrible! "

Eden strongly denied it in her heart.

After a long time, the priest calmed down completely. He held the stone pendant tightly.

I...I can still change the future.

Lord, I can do it...

And now, the top priority is...gaining the power to change the future.

Eden looked at the goblin again and asked aloud:
"You...do you know where to go in the sea of ​​souls...to complete the upgrade of the path of divine creation?"

In the reflection of the lens, the goblin's eyes widened with a look of surprise, and deep in his gaze, there was a trace of vague memories and yearning.

This reaction... Could it be that in this era, because of the shattering of the sea of ​​souls, no one is studying the path of divine creation anymore?
After a while, the goblin nodded, raised his finger and pointed in one direction, gesturing for Eden to come with him.

Eden followed the only survivor. They left the Great Library and returned to the sea of ​​broken souls, walking and shuttle among the ruins.

I don't know if it was Eden's illusion, but as they walked, the wind in the spiritual world around them became more and more violent.

Not long after, the goblin led Iden to a place above the clouds and mist, where an invisible tower stood.

Eden looked at the clouds in front of him strangely. He couldn't see anything here, but for some reason, he could sense that there was a tower standing here.

"So... is this the place where ancient sayings are integrated and one faces oneself during the promotion ceremony?"

Eden whispered to himself.

In his own time, when almost all the miracle workers who performed the promotion ceremony came to the Sea of ​​Souls, everything they saw was hazy and blurry, like a stack of color blocks.

The goblin stretched out his hand, pointed at the invisible tower, and motioned for Iden to enter.

Seeing this, Iden took a deep breath and walked into the invisible tower.

The vision in front of him gradually became blurred and chaotic, and something seemed to be throbbing deep in his soul.

His own feelings became indescribable, and the clouds and mist beneath his feet began to surge and change. Eden, who stepped into the invisible tower, kept moving, and kept moving, but it seemed that he could never reach the end.

This feeling... is so familiar, so similar to the previous promotion ceremony.

Eden thought.

Being in the invisible tower, he didn't notice that the wind in the spiritual world outside was getting more and more violent.
