Seven Gods Continent, this is the name of the continent under their feet in the world where Zhuang Xiaoyuan and the others are now. This is an easy-to-understand name, which can be heard from the name of the continent, which is a continent guarded by the gods.

And the guardian of this continent is the Valkyrie located in seven different cities.

The Valkyrie of Water, the Valkyrie of Earth, the Valkyrie of Fire, the Thunder Valkyrie of Thunder City, the Valkyrie of Wind, the Dark Valkyrie of Shadow City, and the Valkyrie of Light of Vortex City.

The seven Valkyries belonged to different cities, ruled over different races, and sheltered the continuation of these races. With the presence of these Valkyries, people living in the city can enjoy a peaceful life unharmed.

Because, this continent was not originally a safe continent. In the beginning, the continent was filled with all kinds of miasma and demonic beasts, and all races lived in the catastrophe of extinction at any time.

Until the seven artifacts that fell from the sky created seven powerful Valkyries, bringing hope for life to these races that were about to become extinct. The Valkyrie eliminated powerful demonic beasts, cleaned up the diffuse miasma, and created a beautiful living environment for people.

Under the unique brilliance of the Valkyrie, neither the boundless miasma nor the dangerous and ferocious monsters could get close to this city protected by the Valkyrie.

However, Valkyries are not real gods, and Valkyries are just ordinary people who have been selected by artifacts. Although it has a longer lifespan than ordinary people, this lifespan will eventually come to an end.

Especially the human Valkyrie, human beings are originally short-lived creatures, even with the protection of artifacts, the life span of the Valkyrie is very short compared to other races.

As a result, the Valkyries who sheltered humanity changed from generation to generation. When the Valkyries of the previous generation were short of life, they would immediately look for new humans to inherit their Valkyrie status and abilities, and continue to protect the continuation of the human race.

In this way, mankind has continued to this day under the protection of generations of Valkyries. However, this inheritance still comes with certain risks. Maybe there will be a time when there will be no one to inherit the Valkyrie.

And that soon came the way. The year before last, the Valkyrie of the previous generation passed away, but no new girl was found who could inherit the Valkyrie. The Valkyrie, who guards humanity, has finally seen a fault.

The Valkyrie's fault caused a panic among the humans living in the city, without the Valkyrie's protection, losing the Valkyrie's brilliance, the miasma would re-envelop the area, and the monsters would invade.

And that's not even the most serious, under the teachings of the Valkyries, humans themselves have already mastered a certain combat ability. If it was only the invasion of some of the demonic beasts, as long as they worked together, they could still resist it. And miasma will not have much effect on people with strong physique.

However, without the brilliance of the Valkyrie, the originally abundant land began to become barren, and the originally clear rivers began to decay. Human land can no longer grow enough food, and human water sources are becoming scarce. This is a real disaster for human beings who need to live.

At the beginning of the loss of the Valkyrie, the priests of Spiral Light City also specially arranged for the girls of the whole city to undergo the trial of the artifact together, maybe a new Valkyrie could appear, but the final result was undoubtedly a failure.

At that time, the place where the artifact trial was conducted was the place where Zhuang Xiaoyuan got the golden crown just now, and in the end, all that was left there was the crown that was the symbol of the Valkyrie.

As time went on, a month passed, and the humans in the city began to show feelings of disappointment. Two months passed, and the disappointment gradually began to grow more somber.

When four or five months passed, no new Valkyries appeared, and the crops in the fields began to wither en masse, humanity fell into true despair. The people live on food, and if there is no food to satisfy their stomachs, everything is vain.

And when Zhuang Xiaoyuan entered this world and arrived at Spiral Light City, the gathering place of human beings, it was already a whole year after the human race lost its Valkyrie. A year without income, without hope, all humanity has fallen into despair.

Therefore, what Zhuang Xiaoyuan and the others saw at that time was such a lifeless city, and such a human being who had no hope at all, only numbness and despair.

"I see, I almost understand the cause and effect of the incident. So, I'm already the Valkyrie of the city now, and there are six other people who have this kind of thing like me, right? ”

Sitting in the temple in the center of Spiral Light City, Zhuang Xiaoyuan finally clearly understood from the mouth of the priest and the old man why the city looked so lifeless. I also know why all the humans became so excited after he picked up the golden crown.

Similarly, in addition to the question about the city, Zhuang Xiaoyuan also learned another important thing from the priest's words. That is this Valkyrie artifact with an aura similar to the world crystal, in addition to the one in his hand at this time, there are six other pieces.

"That's right, the Valkyrie's artifact, no one is allowed to touch it except the Valkyrie who is recognized by the artifact. That's why the artifact has always been kept outside. Now, you are the Valkyrie of our Spiral Light City, the hope of all mankind. ”

His eyes were fixed on Zhuang Xiaoyuan with a look of hope, and the old priest of Spiral Light City didn't notice Zhuang Xiaoyuan's concern for the other six artifacts in his words. At this time, he was just waiting for the new Valkyrie's decision with trepidation.

He didn't care about Zhuang Xiaoyuan's unknown origin at all, and he didn't have any doubts about Zhuang Xiaoyuan's obviously wrong traveler's lies. There is only such a human city in the entire continent, and Zhuang Xiaoyuan is not from this city, and he doesn't delve into it at all.

For the old man, who was a priest of Spiral Light City, these were just small things. As long as the Valkyrie, who has been recognized as an artifact, can promise to protect the city, then everything will be fine. All doubts, all questions are not comparable to the continuation of humanity itself.

"Okay, I see. Since I'm here, I'll be your Valkyrie for the time being. But don't expect too much from me. Receiving the expectant gaze of the old priest, Zhuang Xiaoyuan finally nodded and agreed.

While agreeing, Zhuang Xiaoyuan also began to inject his divine power into the golden crown above his head. With the infusion of divine power, the golden crown emitted a brilliant light, and an invisible barrier gradually formed with Zhuang Xiaoyuan as the center, enveloping the entire city.

When the barrier is completed, the whole city begins to show a strong sense of life, the withered trees begin to sprout, and the decaying river is purified and cleared again. At this moment, the originally dead and silent city seemed to wake up from its slumber and completely come to life.
