The ancient aura from the abyss is spreading.

"The right place to look."

On the side, Nostradamus, who used magic to suppress the aftermath of Joshua's tearing of the earth's crust, closed the magic book in his hand, although he did not support Joshua's too direct move, but he also admitted that it was indeed the safest and fastest way.

Yes, although it seems to be a huge momentum, under the power of the legendary powerhouse, tearing apart the crust of some areas is actually a very safe move, especially before making a move, Joshua used coercion to disperse most of the ordinary creatures and demonic beasts living here, and they will be guided to an open field not far from here, except for some underground creatures, no life will be injured by this, and it is definitely safer to tear the earth's crust that has been prepared for a long time than a battle that breaks out underground enough to tear the earth.

"The first number and the syndicate left a mark, and I just need to follow the marker's signal."

Joshua looked down at his work, a huge rift valley across the North Ural Plain, his pupils adjusted their focus, and looked directly into the cavity deep underground, the glimmer of glowing fungi thousands of meters below was clearly visible to Joshua, and he could even see large flocks of underground bats flying out of the valley in fright, like a rising gray cloud flying between the rifts.

"Truth be told, Joshua, I didn't stop you because of danger...... The main reason is that permanently changing the topography of a piece of land will have an irreversible impact on the entire ecosystem. ”

Nostradamus also looked at the gray cloud, and the old man's gaze showed a hint of pity, and he said softly: "These bats have been living in a closed underground for the past few years, they have no ability to adapt to the outside world, and within a few months, they will become extinct due to environmental upheaval, and the chaos caused by the migration of a large area of grassland life is by no means something that can be manifested in a day or two. ”

"The North Baikal steppe has become a rift valley, and the tide of magic from the mountains will not drift to the north with the wind, but will settle here, or hedge with the magic power underground, and the upheaval caused by the magical environment will lead to the migration of countless magical beasts, a process that will last for hundreds of years, and the entire northern land will be deeply affected, and no one knows what it will bring...... So I want you to be cautious. ”

The power of the legend is so terrifying that it can change the heavens and the earth, turn the desert into a forest, and turn the sea into a continent...... But if it is not necessary, no legend will forcibly change the natural environmental changes, because it is the life that lives in this land caused by itself, chooses by itself, and rashly makes it worse.

After listening quietly to the old mage's chatter, Joshua did not immediately refute it, he nodded happily, and then said, "I know. ”

Permanently changing the topography of a land will naturally have a huge impact on the local balance of creatures and mana...... For example, fungi and rare herbs that thrive in the cavities of the ground may die as a result, causing great property damage.

"But these are not irreparable, you see, behind us are the elite of Wintercastle and the Imperial Royal Mage Academy, these mages, herbalists and druids will prevent the worst from happening as much as possible, they will protect the environment where precious herbs are nurtured underground, and gain valuable cultivation knowledge from them. Above all, Nostradamus, we are facing an existence that is worth the risk. ”

The warrior turned his head to look at the rift, and he saw that the little bit of earthy yellow ripples were magnifying little by little, and the light that was difficult to describe in words, but brought a sense of 'earth', 'vitality' and 'prosperity', although faint, was clearly captured by Joshua. It was the power of the earth, derived from the power of the Mother Earth Goddess thousands of years ago, and Joshua said in a calm tone: "If that exists, the Mother Mother Goddess awakens, then it will not be just a North Ural Plain. ”

Hearing this, even Nostradamus couldn't help but sigh, and then admitted that Joshua was right.

Indeed, the existence they faced, even if it was sealed, was enough to get this attention, if the will of the world that was disgusted with humans was reawakened, then how could the damage caused be comparable to the earth-shaking of a mere grassland? In order to judge the changes in the underground as soon as possible, Joshua's actions cannot be described as decisive.

Now was not the time for small talk, after a brief conversation, Joshua closed his eyes and detected the source of the earth's divine power, and after a few seconds, he reopened his eyes and found the source.

"It was an ancient underground lake with three underground rivers flowing into it...... The surface is still clear, but the depths of the lake are full of mineral debris and the corpses and secretions of aquatic slime fungi, and it is a complete garbage dump. ”

"The source of the earth's divine power is in the deepest part of this lake."

The surface rift tore through the unknown barrier, and Joshua's gaze could smoothly penetrate deeper, and he saw that in the center of the huge underground cavity, there was an incomparably deep vertical pit, and there were divine power fluctuations coming from the deepest part of this pit, which could interfere with all magical and spiritual exploration, but Joshua was just 'looking', so it was not affected too much. This pit contains underground sewage and biological corpses that have been accumulating since I don't know how many years ago, and the heavy metal sewage that has almost turned into slime in the depths is almost impossible for any living thing to approach.

Except for one.

Black Snake.

With a light sigh, in Joshua's gaze, there were thousands of black snakes swimming in this lake, and the light of the earth's divine power appeared on their bodies, separating the water from the debris in the water, and purifying it into pure water, keeping the surface of the underground lake clean, Joshua also saw that these black snakes were cruising along the underground river, purifying the debris and garbage in the river, like the most faithful cleaners.

"Interesting."

Joshua showed an interested expression: "I originally thought that these black snakes were guards, but I didn't expect them to be cleaning units that maintain the underground ecological cycle...... In that case, you can't just kill them. ”

"I've found my bearings, Nostradamus."

Turning his head, Joshua said to the old mage, "What do you say? ”

"What else can I say, I'll just make a shot."

Nostradamus pursed his lips at Joshua's doubts, he shook his head and said, "Send me the coordinates."

Not caring about his friend's complaints, Joshua smiled slightly, he sent the coordinates of the underground lake to the old mage, and then converged the gravitational pull of the strong magnetic field that was constantly spreading around him, and gradually descended to the surface with the other party.

The wind howled at his side, and Nostradamus stood at the edge of the rift, his eyes glinting with a faint blue runic light, and after calculating for a while, the old mage reached out and pointed a little towards the area where the underground lake was.

Suddenly, with the slight sound of time and space being torn apart, a pitch-black crack took the old mage's fingertips as the source, extending endlessly in his direction, and it easily shattered all the dirt, rocks, and veins in its path, piercing through the rock layer nearly two thousand five hundred meters thick, and reaching the location of the underground lake.

The vast space-time magic slowly dissipated, and a smooth, sloping tunnel fifteen meters long and ten meters wide appeared in front of Joshua and Nostradamus, leading directly to the underground lake without any twists and turns.

"Alright, let's go and see what is unleashing the power of the earth...... Tsk, this space-time rift is not straight enough. ”

Retracting his hand, Nostradamus, who seemed a little dissatisfied, shook his fingers, and then walked straight down the tunnel, while Joshua shrugged with a smile and followed the other man down.

Joshua was able to tear a rift in the earth's crust because of his sheer strength, but if he made a hole in a target with precision, then he was not as good as Nostradamus, who specialized in time and space.

Unlike the underground tunnel, which twists and turns, and I don't know how many kilometers it takes, this is a straight line, no more than four thousand meters away, and the two legendary powerhouses crossed it in a few seconds, and Joshua's body released a silver-white light, dispelling the darkness around him, and he could see the pitch-black underground lake.

Strange oil stains and colonies float on the surface of the lake, and thousands of black snakes swim in the water, breaking down most of the filth, or carrying them to the shore, looking around, the thick magic even releasing a pale blue glow in the air. And on the rock walls around the lake, there are large swaths of magic crystals, and the pure magic power is piled up here, almost forming a vein.

The presence of the earth's divine power has brought unparalleled vitality to this place, and there are all kinds of strange plants along the lake, all kinds of rodents and insects that don't know whether they are mutated or born like this, and these magical plants that will glow on their own, Alva will definitely feel excited if he comes here, because there are huge mushrooms and insect hives that match his imagination of the underground, and these creatures that are absolutely impossible to see on the surface form a strange ecosystem.

Joshua tore the earth's crust, and the old mage opened the tunnel, but it didn't have any effect on the creatures around the lake, and there was an inexplicable force that fixed the surrounding rock formations, so that they didn't collapse due to violent vibrations, and Joshua could clearly sense that it was the effect of the earth's divine power.

Having come here, Joshua naturally didn't have much nonsense, he and the old mage stretched out their hands at the same time, and suddenly the surface of the huge underground lake began to whirlpool, countless turbid and pitch-black lake water was evacuated by the warriors, and then teleported to the surface by Nostradamus, countless black snakes fled from it in panic, Joshua controlled his own strength, not to kill these beasts who had worked diligently for many years, and gradually, as the lake gradually dried up, a passage to the bottom of the lake began to appear.

Feeling the increasingly turbulent fluctuations of divine power, Joshua and Nostradamus stopped their movements, until now, the two have not encountered the expected crisis, no beasts that have become powerful due to divine power infection to attack them, and there is no will of the world or the secret hand left by the gods, so they smoothly came to the depths of the earth and found the source of divine power, which made the warriors who were looking forward to the battle and the old mage who was very suspicious felt full of doubts and inexplicable.

"It's as simple as that?"

Joshua muttered to herself, "It's not that easy to eat—I haven't done it yet." ”

"It shouldn't be......"

Nostradamus also pondered: "Why should there be some traps, ambushes or mysterious circles left by ancient times?" ”

But obviously, the truth is different from what the warriors who want to challenge and the mages who want to be killed are different, the road is so simple, there are no levels and monsters, and the smooth ones are like drinking soup.

At this time, because most of the lake water has been pumped away, the river has also been intercepted, and the remaining lake water has dispersed in all directions along the cracks in the depths of the earth, which is hidden in the deepest part of the earth, and the source of releasing divine power has gradually revealed its true face.

It was a quaint, rock-cast ancient temple.

When it left the cover of the deep lake and appeared completely in the air, a faint wave centered on it began to spread in all directions, the entire Mycrof continent - at this moment, on the entire continent, there were countless people who were usually inconspicuous on the entire continent stopped their work and froze in place.

Some of them were ordinary peasants, some were skilled cooks, some were brave warriors, some were learned mages, some were clever thieves, some were pious shepherds, some lived in the squalid and poor slums, some survived in sickness, and some stood on the high platform of the royal palace, looking down on their subjects and kingdoms with great contentment.

In the distance, in the Temple of Earth, the white-haired Elder of the Temple sat in front of the quaint, completely rock-made Temple, his eyes closed, as if he was thinking about something that could never be solved, but suddenly, a faint wave swept by, and the old elder suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes, he stood up and looked at the northernmost point of the world, but then, he scanned the surroundings suspiciously, as if he found something wrong.

And just below him, the ancient temple was glowing, and the light was warm, gentle, warm, like the gaze of a mother.

In the Eastern Plains, on a small island next to Sea Dragon City, the residence of the sages of the East China Sea suddenly lit up with a pale silver glow, and all the ascetics left their houses in surprise and looked at the holy place located in the center of the island.

In the sage's residence, Faina, who was meditating in the house and connecting with her spiritual clone who was teleported to the world of stars from time to time, also felt this fluctuation, her originally stable state of mind was broken, and complex emotional fluctuations spread in her heart, Faina slowly stood up, she walked out of the room and looked at the northern end of the world, but soon, she turned her head again, as if looking around the entire continent.

In the eyes of the sage, there are hundreds of points of light that are shining.

In the North Ural Plain, in the center of the crack, Joshua looked down at the glowing temple, he also felt this faint fluctuation, and felt that there was something wrong Joshua originally wanted to stop it, but this fluctuation went straight towards him, without the slightest intention of avoiding it.

Even, most of the fluctuations are coming towards him.

Joshua didn't dodge, he wanted to know what this fluctuation was So the warrior simply took a step forward and took most of the fluctuation into his arms, and just as Joshua was analyzing the information contained in this fluctuation, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then froze in place.

Then there was a long silence, the warrior's eyes flashed with a silver light, countless ancient memories churned along the tide of the power of steel, he knew why the temple was located deep underground, he knew why it was built, and Joshua even knew why the fluctuations were converging towards him, as if he were the target he had predetermined.

The truth of everything is so simple.

"Wake up, Joshua, what's affecting you?"

For some reason, Nostradamus, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Joshua's body move slightly, and knew that he had recovered from his stupor, so the old mage hurriedly asked, "You were in a daze for more than ten minutes—what did you see from that fluctuation?" ”

He wasn't the target of the fluctuations, so he didn't feel anything.

"It's civil strife."

Hearing Nostradamus's voice, Joshua's gaze, which had returned to normal, dimmed, and he stared at the ancient temple in front of him with a wry smile, and then shook his head: "The chaos after the war, a dispute between man and the world. ”

"Nostradamus, this is a discovery we didn't expect."
