27. Ancient Civilization Era
That is, a past even more distant than the ancient times.
It could even be called the era of ancient civilizations.
On an infinite land, the Creator God created all the races of the world, and with the emergence of the first civilization, the era of ancient civilizations began.
The development of the ancient civilization era was faster than the Creator God had imagined, and soon they possessed outstanding technological power.
Technology brought prosperity and confidence to all races, and they even began to forget the existence of the Creator God.
People lost their faith in the Creator God, even believing themselves to be above the Creator, scorning the god who created the world.
Thus, the Creator God became angry.
To punish his creations, he sent a flood to destroy the world, submerging the infinite land, and the great civilization's technology was no match for the true Creator God.
Countless lives perished in the flood, and people once again picked up their faith in the Creator God, pleading for mercy.
The Creator God deemed the punishment sufficient and chose a merciful approach.
In the midst of the sea, he created a piece of land, commanded his agents with an ark to rescue the remaining lives, and placed them on this land, giving them a chance to start anew.
That was when the ocean was born.
People rebuilt civilization on the empty land once again.
Time flew by.
On the land, all the races of the world reproduced and prospered again, establishing a brilliant civilization.
At that time, people once again forgot the fear of the Creator God's wrath, believing themselves to be above the Creator once more.
Many were not satisfied with just living on this land; to challenge the authority of the Creator God or to avenge their ancestors.
Thus, all the races of the world gathered together, using the same language, building the Tower of Babel to ascend to heaven and defeat the Creator God.
The Creator God was disappointed once again.
This time, the Creator God brought many disasters upon the land, bringing suffering to it, so that the disasters would destroy civilization, preventing the races from building the Tower of Babel.
Many magical beasts appeared at that time.
Leviathan was born then.
Including Leviathan, a total of seven Legendary Beasts wreaked havoc in the world, bringing endless death to all races.
The ancient civilization declined once again.
Later, the Creator God's life reached its limit, and he perished.
Without the Creator God's maintenance, the disasters became more terrifying, eventually leading to a new round of destruction.
The era of ancient civilizations came to an end at that time.
After a very long time, intelligent life reappeared in this world, and a new civilization sprouted, which is the historical origin of this world.
Xia Yi was shocked after reading the content on the mural.
The history of the current world has no record of the era of ancient civilizations, let alone such a concept.
"Um… that's a bit too much information." Xia Yi held her head.
Her worldview was truly refreshed.
The ancient city was built during the era of ancient civilizations, and the reason it was outside the ocean of Golde was that another great flood had occurred on the land of the ancient civilization era, submerging the original land.
Coincidentally, this Ancient City was within that range.
Unfortunately, Xia Yi could not understand the text of the ancient civilization era.
There was much more information, but due to limited conditions, she could not continue to decipher it.
Xia Yi could feel that the stone tablets and murals, imbued with the wisdom of the ancient civilization era, had survived countless years, even the destruction of the world, and were still preserved to this day.
Who knows what methods the ancient civilization used, even after the Old World was destroyed, the murals on the stone tablets were still being updated.
Perhaps the civilizations of that era left these as a warning to future generations?
"But there are some doubts…"
The Legendary Beasts are not dead.
When the Old World was destroyed, the Legendary Beasts fell into a deep slumber.
These old things, they really know how to survive!
Although they survived, they are, after all, remnants of the Old World.
The Legendary Beasts cannot adapt to the New World; they can only awaken periodically to be active, and most of the time, they are in a state of slumber.
Leviathan is like this.
The following is a record of some content about Leviathan.
The doubt is here.
The last time Leviathan awoke was during Golde's Age of Great Voyages, which was more than a thousand years ago. After being active for a while, it left behind legends.
But according to the cycle, Leviathan should be in a state of slumber now.
Why has it awakened and become active, even attacking Golde with the Black Tide?
Xia Yi pondered.
The Legendary Beasts of the Old World can survive in the New World, surely due to their good sleep habits.
Sleeping, awakening, hunting, eating, sleeping…
That's the cycle they follow.
After all, they are not creatures of the New World and naturally cannot maintain long periods of activity.
If their routine is disrupted, then there's only one possibility: Leviathan has been forcibly awakened!
Now, when it should be in its slumbering phase, someone with a purpose has used some means to forcefully awaken it.
This behind-the-scenes mastermind is related to the dragon race.
The essence of the Black Tide is a Dragon Curse.
Someone has forcibly awakened the slumbering Legendary Beast and then, using the Black Tide created by the Dragon Curse, coordinated with Leviathan to harvest the people of Golde.
"If that's the case, then the matter is much simpler!"
Xia Yi believed that there was no need to kill Leviathan; it was originally just a tool being used. Now, in its slumbering phase, it should be allowed to continue sleeping.
What should be done now is to root out the mastermind behind the scenes and destroy those methods.
"After Leviathan returned to the ancient city ruins, I remember it went to rest in a place that looked very much like an altar. Could it be that the means to awaken it involve some kind of sacrifice?"
Suddenly, a few phrases flashed through Xia Yi's mind.
Those were the words she heard from the people who had lost their minds in Seaside City.
Return, the sea, offer, happiness.
And the altar here, as well as the Black Tide…
Xia Yi felt she was very close to the truth.
She couldn't stay here any longer; she had to hurry to the altar where Leviathan was. If Sera was still alive, she might be in the ancient city ruins, possibly facing imminent danger!
Xia Yi looked up at the waterfall-like flow of water above her and cast a spell.
First, she froze the water flow, then built an ice ladder and jumped up, returning to the library floor.
It was already night, and the moon had just risen.
Xia Yi left the library and found that all the half-dragon monsters in the ancient city ruins had disappeared; they had all gathered in one place.
The altar.
She hurried over as well.
In the altar surrounded by seawater, the half-dragon monsters gathered together, performing acts of worship towards the center.
Above the altar where Leviathan was, a black coffin had appeared at some unknown time.
The Royal Silver Dragon blood within Xia Yi resonated with the black coffin.
