Chapter 280: Aliens
"The God above Gods? The most fundamental God in the astral world?"
Astral Arca is more or less understandable, and it should refer to the entire universe.
What Xia Daiti and his people understood was the world that wraps around the world.
There seems to be nothing wrong with this understanding.
"Then how about such a god compared to the four gods..." Simon couldn't help but ask.
Although asking such a question was somewhat rebellious, as a mechanic, he could not resist his inner curiosity.
"Stone Mother, Life, Wise One, Poseidon. Are you talking about these four?"
Simon nodded.
"I don't know about Life and the Wise. I don't know about their deeds. But the Stone Mother and the Sea God are quite famous outside." said the Bronze Hammer.
The meaning of this statement is very clear.
To put it simply, they are Life and Wise, and they are obviously weaker than the other two gods.
At least that's what the dwarf meant.
This made Simon and Julia remain silent again.
I only heard Tongchui continue to say: "Only these two gods can be called gods in the entire star world."
These words made the two of them feel even worse.
"Okay, okay, that's the end of the explanation. Shouldn't I be talking to you about the world I've experienced?
These terms are useless even if you know them. "
He began to tell the story again.
"Speaking of which, 300 years ago, I visited a very, very powerful world. I must tell you about it."
"It was a world of mountains, but unfortunately I didn't know how high the mountain was until I left."
"Mountain world?" Everyone's attention was immediately diverted.
But what does Mountain World mean?
"A world made up of mountains?" Alka couldn't help asking.
For the Xiadaiti and their people, mountains and land are things that are incomprehensible.
Perhaps only Lucelia knew about it from some ancient books.
"No, no, no, it's much more powerful than that." Tongchui waved his hand and said.
"It is a huge mountain floating in the star realm, and various kinds of life live in the mountain."
So this is what mountain world means.
I can't imagine what it's like at all.
Alka scratched his head and thought, if the whole thing is a mountain, then wouldn't the people living below be able to see the starry sky directly?
Even the sky was not visible.
What about the sunlight?
He couldn't figure it out. This was completely beyond his understanding.
"What a pity. That place is very exclusive to outsiders. I was forced to leave after only being there for a while."
"Is there such a function?" Alka asked from the side.
Tongchui nodded: "Of course, most worlds have such repulsive forces and have different attitudes towards outsiders.
The world I will go to is at least not hostile to outsiders. In fact, at least half of the world is full of hostility to outsiders. "
"This is the world's most basic defense mechanism, and most of the world that has no ill intentions is very confident in itself, you know."
Everyone understood this and nodded.
After all, no one knows what kind of changes and damage a life that is incompatible with the world will bring to the world.
But no one would ask why there is no exclusion in their world.
It's good enough that their worlds can be put together, and they are aware of this.
Everyone chatted with the dwarf for a long time in the living room of the shabby house, but most of the time it was the dwarf who was sharing.
He seemed happy to share his experiences with others and was very proud of his career and studies.
But for Aka and the others, it is not of much use except for broadening their horizons.
They don't have the ability to leave this world.
Then everyone opened their glasses and briefly told the dwarves about the situation in the Four Gods Sea.
"Very reasonable structure, but unreasonable behavior. Just as I thought, it seems that these four gods are not born gods."
the dwarf muttered.
He seemed to have a habit of talking while thinking, and needed to speak out in order to sort out his thoughts.
"What do you mean?" Alka couldn't help asking beside him.
The dwarf sorted out his thoughts, raised his head to look at the curious eyes of the crowd, laughed twice and said: "That is to say, I don't know whether you are lucky or unlucky."
"These four gods obviously care about their believers, so I don't know why, but it is not easy to build their own sea worlds to preserve the lives on them after the world is broken."
"This is obviously a thankless task. Doing this shows that these four gods were born from mortals and were not born this way."
“Natural gods always have all sorts of strange quirks and eccentric personalities, the most typical of which is that they are indifferent to mortals, without exception… well, it seems there are exceptions.
But most of them are like this, so I understand. "
Everyone nodded, and Alka could understand a little.
Simply put, how could a person who is born strong care about those weak lives?
Do humans care about the life and death of ants?
"Well, it was nice talking to you guys, I'll remember your names.
We’ll continue communicating when I come to your world next time, if you are still alive.
Of course, I would be even happier if I could meet you in the astral realm."
The last sentence was just Tongchui's own mumbling, but everyone could hear it.
Tongchui was already preparing to leave. He came here to say goodbye to Triangle, after all, he had stayed here with him for a long time.
The communication and acquaintance with Alka and the others was just an unexpected gain.
Everyone nodded without asking any more questions.
This kind of private matter is so rude.
After all, they had only known each other for a very short time.
It's just that this dwarf seems to have a good personality, willing to share and free and easy by nature.
Without this essence, it is obviously impossible to travel through the worlds.
Tongchui waved to everyone. It was already night outside.
He looked at the starry sky, and a star began to shine, as if the star was very close to them.
A thin white line hung down from the sky and connected to the copper hammer.
Tongchui turned around and looked at Alka and said, “You have a very strange aura, which I have sensed in people from many worlds.
Some of you have already made it to the top, and you will definitely achieve great things in the future.”
Without further explanation, the white line wrapped around him and he disappeared from the spot.
As the bronze hammer disappeared, everyone turned to look at Alka.
"Future big shot, if you become successful, you must help me." Jason patted Alka's shoulder and teased.
Alka rolled his eyes and glared at him: "Don't worry, Jason. I will definitely not let you become a beggar if we are together."
Everyone said goodbye to the triangle with a lot of fun.
We continued our previous journey and followed Xia Daiti around the island.
Along the way, they were still chatting about the information they had obtained from the dwarves.
Although that knowledge and information helped broaden their horizons, it was too far away, as far away as the stars in the sky, out of reach.
For them now, it can only be regarded as a topic of conversation.
"Is this the writing of the Vastwa people?" Matlisa asked when she saw the writing carved on a piece of rubble as she passed by it.
Hearing this, Lucilia immediately jumped off Alka's shoulders and came to Mathilda's side in a few leaps.
"Really? There are actually characters of the Vastwa people here." He looked at the characters and began to interpret them.
“A Wastva man who once had outstanding trial results here. This man’s name seems familiar. We should have seen his records in Wastva.
Let me think...it seems like it was a high priest of a certain period who reformed the system at that time and made the city-state grow stronger."
Hearing this, Julia said while looking at the stone tablet nearby: "It seems that he is not bluffing. Many great figures have indeed come from here."
As for their understanding of the era before the War of Gods, they are quite familiar with Vastewa of that era.
The high priest represents the pinnacle of power there.
This little incident did not affect the speed of everyone's progress.
It didn't take them much time to basically tour the entire island. Apart from the ruins in the middle, there was nothing much to see outside, just some vegetation on the island.
"At night, the magic power on the island seemed to have subsided, and the concentration did not change. But those elemental creatures formed by the magic power did not come out to attack us even when we passed over their heads."
Julia said with some surprise, could it be possible that these elemental creatures could sleep?
No one could give an answer.
"Okay, the surface detection is over, we can go back." Xia Daiti said.
Jason turned and asked, "So where are we going back to the ship?"
"Forget it, it's too troublesome, let's find a good place to camp."
Everyone returned to the central city ruins and found a building that looked relatively intact.
A temporary rest camp was set up.
It seems that they were not the only ones who had this idea. They also saw other traces of people camping here.
A simple tent for sleeping.
Juanlu took out his portable pot and started preparing dinner.
Xia Daiti found a quiet corner, took out his tools and started drawing a map.
Alka and others sat around Juanlu's portable pot, watching him make dinner and chatting.
"The other world is so beautiful." Looking at the fire, Mathilda suddenly said.
She still couldn't forget the scenes of other worlds that Tongchui had described during the day, which had impacted their worldview.
It makes them curious about what the world outside is like.
"How powerful do you think that dwarf is? After all, he can travel in so many worlds." Jason couldn't help but ask.
Julia shook her head: "I can't sense it. Although there is still magic in his body, it is incompatible with this world, so I can't detect it at all."
But at least we know that his strength must be very strong, otherwise he would not be qualified to travel to so many worlds and not die yet.
Listening to everyone's conversation, Alka just stared at the fire.
Other worlds.
What about my former world? Can I go back to it?
The sudden appearance of the copper hammer made Alka's mind a little confused.
He seemed a little absent-minded.
Everyone could see it, but no one bothered them too much.
After dinner, they rested in their respective tents.
It was not until the day seemed to be about to dawn that Alka returned from his dream world.
Looking at the hourglass in my hand, there are only two hours left in the day.
When I came outside, Xia Daiti had already woken up.
Alka comes behind her and looks at where Shadaiti is.
The drawing of the map has entered the final stage.
Xiadaiti has already dried the traces on it and applied a coating to protect it.
After everything was done, he took down the map and handed it to Alka.
"Here, it's done."
Alka looked at the map in his hand, which was becoming more and more detailed.
"Your craftsmanship is getting better and better." I couldn't help but admire.
He blinked and looked at the map.
The sudden piercing light made Alka cry.
There is too much light.
Looking closely, all the light is gathered at the tower in the center of the map .
The accumulated light spots made it difficult to see exactly how many there were.
All you can see is a burst of vigorous orange energy mixed in with the gold.
【Scepter】?
There is actually a scepter on this island.
However, Alka watched as all the golden and orange light spots gathered in the center where the Trial Tower was located.
I almost had a premonition in my heart.
Lightly tap on it.
They gathered together, so that Alka didn't know that he had clicked on the golden light, but he obviously didn't click on the orange light column.

[Treasure information: The Trial of God was built by an enterprising person ten thousand years ago, aiming to help mortal life break through itself. After the war of gods, only this remaining Trial Tower remained.
The scope of the trial is intelligent life at stages 2 to 4. If you climb up and break through yourself, you will get this hard-earned reward.
If you want to get rewards, please go through formal channels, otherwise you will not get rewards even if you pass. 】
Alka pointed at other golden lights. All the golden spots here were exactly the same, and they all contained the same treasure information.
This was the first time he had seen such a situation.
But didn’t the triangle say that there would be no rewards after clearing the trial?
Alka was confused.
Then why is it shown on the treasure?
Looking at the last piece of information about the treasure, Alka suddenly had a bad feeling.
Looking at the extent of its dilapidated state through formal channels, perhaps there is no such thing as formal channels.
Wouldn’t that be a problem?
Stop your thoughts and wait until tomorrow to ask the triangle, then you will know the answer.
If we learn more, we should be able to find out more information. If the triangle really wants someone to take the trial, then it will definitely not refuse.
Thinking of this, Alka clicked on the orange beam of light in the middle.

[Treasure information: Each trial tower has its own peak. Those who pass the peak will receive the final reward.
This process is not easy, please be fully prepared, as you only have one chance in your life. 】
Looking at the information about the treasure, Alka thought carefully.
The difficulty of the entire Trial Tower is from 2 to 4 levels.
But if you want to clear the level, you must have the most extreme strength. Even if you have the strength of the fourth stage, it is still difficult.
After clearing the level, you will be able to obtain a scepter-level treasure.
How can we obtain the golden treasure ?
Alka only then reacted.
When he saw the golden information just now, he thought that he still had to pass the Trial Tower, but the Trial Tower would make some adjustments based on each person's strength.
Now it seems that it is not what I thought.
But there is no more information to expand on.
It won't be long until dawn.
I'll ask the triangle then.
Alka thought so.
As daybreak approached, everyone woke up one after another, cleaned up briefly, and had breakfast.
Xiadaiti looked at Alka: "What is the goal of today's operation?"
"Let's go take part in the trial."
Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Alka, waiting for his answer.
“According to the information I have obtained, there should be rewards for passing the trial.
But yesterday the triangle said no, so today we went to ask again which link went wrong.”
Hearing this , everyone nodded.
They did not put away the tools and tents used for camping nearby, and just left them there.
There are no valuables stored here, and judging from their appearance, it seems that they will not leave the island for a while.
They walked all the way to the living room of the house where Triangle took them to rest yesterday.
However, he was not seen here.
"Where would the triangular stone be?"
"Maybe on the edge of the tower, he might be there."
As they spoke, everyone walked towards the tall stone tower in the center.
The tower is indeed tall, and it looks to be at least 60 meters high. After all, it can be seen from the sea far away.
Especially those pieces of rubble floating around the Trial Tower. They all have magic power in them and are attracted by the magic power of the floating tower and float around.
There are no corridors or windows in the entire tower. It looks more like a huge stone pillar.
It was not until everyone reached the bottom of the tower that they discovered it.
The entire tower should be built on a huge platform, around which there are some sculptures that have completely collapsed.
From these traces of collapse, we can see how magnificent this place was in the past.
"You are here? Do you want to come for a trial?" The triangle suddenly appeared beside them.
He is here indeed.
Alka looked at the towering stone tower in front of him and asked, "If there are no rewards for trials, then what rewards did trials give before the War of Gods?"
This question seemed to indicate that they were also interested in the trial. Triangle, who was standing next to them, answered excitedly.
“Take this remaining Trial Tower as an example. This was built not long before the God War, so no one has been able to reach the top yet.
If someone successfully reaches the top, he will be able to obtain a powerful artifact, one made by God himself, using divine power and rules.
If he performs well in the trial and breaks through himself, he will get a powerful treasure with rules attached."
As if he was afraid that Alka and the others didn't understand, he explained: "According to the terminology of this era, they are the [scepter] and the [holy grail] respectively."
"But now you can no longer get such rewards. I don't have the authority to grant you the qualifications for the official trial."
"So if you qualify, you can get a real reward, right?" Alka asked.
