Thankfully this doesn't happen often.
The mountain will not become more rugged after being polished by time than it was hundreds of years ago. It will be smoothed and flattened, so overall the Twin Gods Peaks in reality are easier to climb.
If it weren't for the snow, they wouldn't be so tired.
"Huh...why is that bastard still talking?" Hitzfeld heard Ali complaining in front.
They were not worried about losing them. On the one hand, there were the two historical figures made up of blue light, who were so conspicuous in the night. On the other hand, there was Dismatic, who never stopped talking.
He is really too awesome.
Even Hitzfeld couldn't help but think so.
She really had no idea how difficult it was to keep talking while climbing a mountain, but she came from modern society, so she at least knew that it was very tiring to keep singing while dancing.
He had to move his limbs and mouth, and pay attention to the steep mountain road. Dismatic could maintain this state for more than an hour. He was truly a super monster in terms of physical strength and control.
No wonder those pirates couldn't beat him. With this kind of talent and swordsmanship, which pirate could beat him? If he were given time, he could clear the entire South Seas by himself.
"We're there!" Just when she felt that she was reaching her physical limit again, cheers came from the darkness ahead.
Dismatic's signature frivolous voice was speaking from above: "So this is the eastern peak of the Twin Gods Peak... How strange, I don't see anything unusual."
"There is nothing abnormal!" This is the voice of Hai Lian. "I and the others have always lived in the village at the foot of the mountain. What abnormality could have bypassed us?"
"That's not how it works." Dismatic was scolding her again. "Some anomalies are so rare that people who don't understand them take their existence as common sense... That's not right."
"Then tell me, what's wrong here?"
"The Sea of Time... The anomalies of the Sea of Time that I have verified so far appear in the form of people and objects made up of bright blue light particles. These things move, just like a mirage projection in the desert."
"No, I've never seen anything like it."
"Impossible." Dismatic snorted. "Just because people haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Tell me what's abnormal here."
"..." Hitzfeld took a breath and felt a hard little hand grabbing his arm. He simply gave up insisting and let the man pull him away.
The scene in front of her suddenly lifted up, as if rising from the bottom of the stairs, and she saw that in a relatively flat open space, Dismatic was standing with his hands on his hips and questioning Helian.
"Not talking?" He walked around Hai Lian, "Hmm? Did you remember something?"
"I'm not sure." Hai Lian frowned, "I've never seen the mirage projection you mentioned, but you're right, it may just be 'no one has seen it'."
"What are you talking about... hurry up and tell me!"
Hitzfeld's lips curled up.
Guys who like to breathe heavily, you have come to this day too.
Then - as Hailian recounted a strange thing that happened to her, the entire Water Pond Team was stunned.
Because what she said was almost the same as what Knight Raymond saw when he first passed the pool, there were beast riots, and many different kinds of wild beasts mixed together to carry out mysterious activities!
"We don't know what they are doing." Hai Lian said, "I can understand that herbivores are mixed with herbivores, but it's too strange to mix wild animals with them..."
"Have you ever observed it closely?"
"No."
"Why? Don't you dare?"
"This is indeed very dangerous! Anyone who rashly approaches will be torn to pieces by the beasts... and we have been taught since childhood not to approach such things, and to stay away from them if we encounter them."
"Since childhood? So this phenomenon has been happening for a very long time?"
"At least since I can remember... Don't ask me how long it has been, how would I know? I won't ask such a thing like you!"
Dismatic fell into deep thought.
Hitzfeld walked closer to him despite Walnut's pulling, observing his expression closely and found that he seemed to be muttering something.
"Where do the beasts usually gather?" he asked Hailian.
"what?"
"The herd, the situations you mentioned, were they close to water sources when they occurred?"
"I never noticed..." Hailian opened her mouth, "But from what I remember, they gathered around water sources twice?"
"That's right!" Dismatic clapped his hands vigorously. "There is indeed something wrong here! ...Where is the ridge?"
"It's still ahead. We'll probably reach it after a little more climbing."
They started to move again, and the Water Pond Squad had no choice but to follow them.
This place is actually still some distance away from the real peak. That place is too steep and not suitable for standing. The ridge that Helian mentioned is the ridge formed by many groups of peaks winding together. She doesn't understand why Dismatic is looking for this.
"That's it... huhu..."
In the darkness, the girl made of blue light stood at the real peak and gasped.
"This area ahead is all... don't tell me you want to go forward... I won't go."
"I didn't say to move forward."
"then you……"
"Don't just stand there... come here, come here!"
Hitzfeld and the others were still a little below. She saw Helen being pulled over by a hand, and then there was no movement above.
They won't disappear, will they?
After all, it was just a projection of the sea of time. It was beyond her expectations that it could last so long, but she still didn't want to fail at the most critical moment. A force surged in her body, and she rushed to the top of the mountain on the steep steps that might have been dug out by the villagers.
As soon as she came up, she saw Helian in a daze with Dismatic.
Out of curiosity, Hitzfeld walked around the two men and looked in the direction they were staring.
She saw the light.
It was magical - it was clearly late at night and the moonlight was not strong enough to create such strong reflections on the snow-covered ridges.
It felt to her less like moonlight and more like sunlight, reflected from the strong, majestic midday sun.
The light was so dazzling that she couldn't help but raise one hand to block it slightly. Then, perhaps due to some kind of visual stimulation and color distortion, she felt that everything in front of her was changing drastically.
With mountains and rivers as the canvas, the night is fading...
The goddess of night lifted her veil and left gracefully, replaced by infinite light, which came from the daytime, from the shining sun at noon!
The sun shone on the mountaintops, dispelling the night fog, and all the scenery was illuminated.
A snow-covered mountain lies here with its spine, like a female giant, but with a huge canyon cutting through its chest.
This end is the East Peak, which is surrounded by a sea of clouds. The West Peak is still a hundred meters away, facing each other across the sea, and its shape is like a raised peak.
"This……"
Raymond was also shocked by the scene. He moved his lips and struggled to say, "It can't be daytime now!"
In the eyes of experienced climbers, the Twin Gods Peaks are nothing more than two mounds of earth, with no other special features except for their varied terrain.
So they climbed up without spending too much time, and this time was far from enough to greet the sunrise.
Even if we meet the sun, it shouldn't be like this.
“It’s the ridge.”
The girl's whisper was heard on the wind.
“The sunlight of 1800 hits this side of the ridge, and is reflected by the snow, reflecting everything that sun sees at this moment.”
"But..." Raymond was stunned and asked reflexively: "Why did the ridge become like this?"
"Because it was struck by something much more powerful."
Hitzfeld turned in the wind.
"If I'm not mistaken, this canyon is not natural..."
Chapter 75: Suspicious Motives
Raymond knew a little about this aspect of history, and quickly asked, "Are you talking about the Cataclysm Era?"
The Cataclysm Era was 1800 years ago, and could even be traced back to the history before the Kingdom of God existed. All the documents unearthed in Sara were vague about that era, and he really didn't know why that era was called this name.
Of course, if we include the legends, the possibilities are too complicated. There are earthquakes, magma eruptions, storms and tsunamis... everything. The most outrageous theory Raymond has heard is that all of this was caused by someone using a knife: starting from the northeastern sea area of Elsa and spreading to all the surrounding continental plates, scattered cracks appeared on the earth, completely covering the landforms that have not changed much for tens of millions of years from ancient times to the present.
"Age of Cataclysm? Are you talking about the Great Shard?" Ali's voice came from behind.
He was in good physical condition, but he was also out of breath at this time. He picked up a branch from somewhere and used it as a crutch, while Ashley simply held up his other hand. It looked a bit funny.
The two were supported to come up, so the progress was slower. After coming up, they also felt the baptism of the sun, and each of them stared with eyes wide open and mouths open, forgetting everything they were going to say.
"You don't really think the legend is true, do you?" Raymond looked around and asked Hitzfeld in a questioning tone, "The legend of the knife? ... I think it's more appropriate to call it a myth."
"Isn't that possible?" Hitzfeld interrupted him. "You believe in God, but you don't believe in miracles?"
“…” Raymond opened his mouth, but couldn’t say a word.
He believed in God, and his faith in the Goddess was absolutely loyal.
But... the goddess he imagined, shouldn't have the ability to do such a thing, right?
He knew very well that the underlying meaning of Hitzfeld's words just now was not as simple as "swinging a sword to split the earth", but also splitting time at the same time! It was a horizontal cut in the so-called sea of time, the so-called long river of history!
What is this? It's outrageous, isn't it?
If the goddess is so powerful, why hasn't she responded yet? Raymond Portman remembers to pray every day before dinner, but he hasn't received a single response yet!
"This is crazy!!" He was about to speak when a short scream interrupted him again.
That was Hailian. The two people in history had not disappeared. They were bathing in the golden sun with the Water Pond Team, shouting and jumping with their arms open, as excited as two crazy children who saw snow for the first time.
"I did it! I did it!" Dismart grabbed Helen's hand and began to dance with her. "There really is a Mother River! There really is a Time Sea! Hahahaha - I knew I was right!"
"Let me go!" Hai Lian realized something was wrong. What did this bastard's success have to do with her?
What time sea? Even if there is such a thing, it is just projecting the past scenes into the future. What's the point? It's better to turn it into a meat pie for her to eat!
"You don't understand." Dismatic squeezed her hands and pulled her closer, saying to her word by word: "This is history - if we can control the laws of the manifestation of the sea of time, then by studying this phenomenon, we can dig out the secrets of the fall of ancient dynasties, and it will be clear at a glance whether those myths and miracles are true or false! Isn't this important?"
"It's not important!" Hai Lian was scared to death by him. She almost thought that this idiot was going to kiss her. "I don't care whether he is a god or not. Let go! Let go!"
"What about technology?" The man in the feather hat said seriously, "The current trend is to talk about science and development... but we still have a lot of technology buried in the past. For example, many documents mention that you can turn on the light by pressing a button. What kind of technology is that and what energy does it use? If you can restore them from the sea of time, your village will all live a prosperous life. Don't you care now?"
"I..." Hailian's breathing became rapid. She really couldn't say no.
Although she didn't understand what the technical energy was, she could roughly understand what the other party meant.
After a while, they finally calmed down from their excitement and sat down to analyze what was going on.
"I can't understand."
Ali and Ashley circled the two men a few times, then came back and said to Hitzfeld, "Why do I feel like they see things differently than we do?"
"It should be different indeed." Hitzfeld nodded. "The 'daytime' we saw was just their real environment at the time. They were scenery in our eyes, but the scenery in their eyes was something else."
"Something else?" Ashley was puzzled.
"Yes, from a bygone age older than their own."
"Then why can't we see it?"
"I'm not sure about that..." Hitzfeld frowned. "We're not sure how the sea of time was formed, and whether there are any rules within this phenomenon. For example, whether two past tenses can be superimposed on each other... Anyway, let's take a look first."
The others still seemed to have only a vague idea of what she said, but in fact they understood enough.
At least they found the right place and saw the wonders of time travel. There were two people who didn't even see these things. They were hiding under the cliff listening to the noise and were confused about the conversation above.
"I don't understand." This is Darent.
"I don't understand either." This is Ethan.
What are they talking about?
daytime?
What daytime? Is this night sky fake?
"Is there any record of the Age of Disaster in the texts of the Tree People?"
Hitzfeld asked Walnut quietly.
"Kumiku has never seen those things."
