Chapter 806: Chapter 807: Confusion

"This is just the outer layer..."

After a long silence, Cheng Yuye suddenly spoke, and Gitalien, somewhat incredulously, said,

"This is just the outer layer of the ruins? Impossible."

Glancing at Gitalien, Cheng Yuye, with her head lowered, said,

"According to the data I have, that is indeed the case. These ruins are quite special; the outer space and the ruins themselves do not belong to the same era. Or rather, the outer space is now so vast solely due to an accident."

Cheng Yuye said this as she took out her notebook, which was filled with numerous rough sketches that one could guess stemmed from historical documents of different eras.

"Do you know how to enter the interior of the ruins?"

Feng Yuan looked at Cheng Yuye curiously. He had not discovered that this layer existed, but although he had only glanced briefly at the notebook Cheng Yuye pulled out, he could confirm that there must be clues about an undiscovered inner space. This also explained why there were no traces of ancient ruins inside this space.

"I don’t know; I can only guess based on ancient documents that there might be clues on these islands."

Cheng Yuye marked a few islands and spoke. If she had doubts before seeing Yongzhen Island, now she was certain she hadn’t made a mistake.

Whether a space is completely sealed off is exactly her area of research, and she was also certain that Yongzhen Island is indeed within a sealed space. After a moment of thought, Cheng Yuye handed the notebook to Feng Yuan, saying,

"The next steps can only be left to you; we’ll handle the matter on Yongzhen Island."

"You’re not coming with us?"

Feng Yuan looked at Cheng Yuye, puzzled, as she shook her head with a hint of disappointment,

"No, Dao Lake City doesn’t have research scholars. Relying solely on the guards and the Special Duty Team might still lead to chaos."

Although they seemed to be the only ones causing these unusual shadowy changes, that was only because they didn’t have many good options at the moment. With few people and weaker strength, they couldn’t afford small-scale trial and error, although the guard and Special Duty Team had quite a few measures for emergency situations.

But facing this mysterious ruin, without researchers to provide explanations, many commands could likely lead to dire consequences.

"Back to Ice Snow Island again..."

Looking at the descriptions circled in the notebook, Feng Yuan scratched his head and remarked, the only areas covered in ice were Ice Snow Island and several other islands with tall mountains.

"We could start somewhere else; hasn’t Ice Snow Island been ruled out?"

Agunas flicked his tail as he spoke, and Gitalien, puzzled, said,

"If there’s something on Ice Snow Island that we haven’t discovered, it’s one thing, but you also didn’t notice, which is rather..."

"Then what exactly is this truth hidden beneath the ice and snow?"

Feng Yuan, somewhat exasperated, stared at the words on the notebook, which were derived from a segment of fragmented text. Although he could understand the original script, the meaning didn’t seem to differ.

"Could it be the snowy mountain tops?"

Li Xiaowei said from the side. If Ice Snow Island were excluded, the possibilities weren’t numerous. Dou Yanlan thought for a moment before taking the notebook from Feng Yuan, saying,

"Is it really so? Why do I feel like something is not quite right?"

"What do you think?"

Feng Yuan looked at Gladys. He felt that in this guessing game, it was better to have someone cheat. He smiled, took the notebook back from Dou Yanlan, and after studying it for a moment, Gladys pondered and said,

"The word ’ice and snow’ had another special translation during the era of Laines Royal Court, but..."

"Laines Royal Court was one of the ancient courts in the Audric region, active only in the Audric region, and this ruin..."

This was also where Gladys was unsure. The Audric region and the Divine Land Region were very far apart; even Hanaesis might not have had the chance to bring people over from the Audric region, let alone during the era of Laines Royal Court.

"I certainly didn’t bring anyone over from there at that time."

Seeing Feng Yuan look at him, Gitalien hurriedly denied it, saying, "During the Laines Royal Court era, the high-speed channels were not established, making intercontinental voyages impossible, so if any information was passed, it was definitely caused by Gitalien, the Divine Beast."

"How can you be sure it is of special significance from the Laines Royal Court era? Although the Laines Royal Court has a well-known reputation, it existed for a short period, and special meanings weren’t exclusive to it."

Dou Yanlan, somewhat puzzled, asked, while Gladys smoothed her long hair and said, "Because of these characters, to my knowledge, only the Diviner of the Laines Royal Court ever used this writing style, which is considered a special marker."

"Why would that be so?"

"Not right, this writing style seems..."

Agunas, somewhat surprised, looked at the special font. He had not previously considered that angle, but now it appeared there were some discrepancies.

"Diviners of the Laines Royal Court? I remember their font characteristics indeed resemble this, but there are still differences, like this stroke. The Diviners of the Laines Royal Court, as I remember, would draw straight down rather than looping, and also this..."

Feng Yuan quickly pointed out the problem, indeed, although it resembled, it had significant differences in some characteristics.

"The brilliantly shining Milno, breaking through illusion to reach the truth."

Agunas suddenly spoke up, Feng Yuan was stunned and looked at Agunas and said, "What are you talking about?"

"Another translation of this text."

As he spoke, Agunas waved his paw, and a complete line of text appeared in the air. Looking at the text in the air and then again at the depicted fragmentary text, Feng Yuan found the two were indeed identical.

"This thing..."

Gitalien, somewhat puzzled, looked at the text, feeling it somewhat familiar. Where had he seen it before?

"Characters from the Mythical Era? But that’s not right, is it?"

Feng Yuan, somewhat astonished, thought it unlikely that Agunas would know those non-Mythical Era ancient characters, considering he was a Divine Beast that recorded history, not one proficient in it. Also, it would not be possible for the other party to learn so many ancient scripts in a short time.

"It indeed is a script from the Mythical Era, an official script of Mitradite."

Agunas nodded and said, pulling out the Eye of the Mirror card from a book, "If it indeed is so, then I understand why this card has appeared..."

"Mitradate also has gods, and it happens to be referred to as the God of the Shadow Realm, or alternatively, the God of the Mirror Realm."

Looking over the fragmented lands, Agunas sighed and said, "It governs the World’s Shadow, which is the other side of the world, but after the collapse of the Mythical Era, the World’s Shadow already disappeared, and I thought..."

"So, it turns out like this. In that case, you two are familiar, no, familiar beasts?"

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Agunas flicked his tail and said, "How strangely you put it, we’re not very familiar, it’s just that the other is too famous, the Lord of the Shadow Realm, with that person’s domineering character. There was nobody during the Mythical Era who didn’t know it."

"However, if that’s the case, then the appearance of the World’s Shadow here is very odd. I remember back then its residence was the Splendid Holy Hall, a place that seems unable to contain the World’s Shadow."

Although Agunas was not very clear about the situation of the World’s Shadow, he was certain, that thing definitely isn’t something that expandable space tricks could stuff just anywhere, let alone the Splendid Holy Hall, even their Land of Time Tranquility was unable to accommodate the World’s Shadow.

"So is that why spatial stratification occurred? If that’s the case, then we just need to find that whatever Milno, right? Do you know what that is?"

Feng Yuan casually said, turning his gaze towards Agunas, who nodded and said, "Milno is Mitradite’s term for a crystal-covered cave, and moreover, the cave needs to be in the belly of a mountain, with no special environments like swamps nearby."

"There aren’t many islands that meet this condition, but I am curious, who left this information behind?"

Agunas puzzled, if it were remnants from the Mythical Era, it still wouldn’t make sense, for if someone had truly encountered this thing in the ruins from the Mythical Era, they would understand that this ruin should not be touched, as every ruin associated with the Mythical Era is dangerously complex.
