Chapter 1372 - 539: That Golden Age (Part 2)
After eliminating the surrounding monsters and establishing a gathering place, it was ultimately destroyed, caused by a monster whose power reached the Demigod Stage.
Finally saw something different.
Alka fixed his sight to accelerate time, and began to watch this person’s life.
After the foundation was destroyed, he started traveling everywhere, eliminating monsters.
Then death.
Forget it, let’s look for something special to watch.
After this.
It’s actually a Divine.
Alka had never seen this Divine, or rather he completely didn’t know what kind of existence this Divine was.
Although there are many records about the Divine in the Great Library’s books, they are not complete.
Let alone at this particular time.
The Divine before him also obtained a piece of Divinity, clearly allowing his own power to grow, but after obtaining Divinity, he simply enhanced his own strength.
Moreover, he seemed to know it’s something of the world, and even thanked the world aloud.
Thus, the keys began to be passed around.
Alka’s perspective also started to broaden his understanding of this world as he followed those who picked up the keys.
An understanding of that past era.
Although he was using temporal acceleration, he was watching it rather broadly.
Alka even spent only a few minutes watching some people’s lives.
Sure enough, in this Golden Era, the strength of these ordinary mortals with the infusion of Magic Power could at most reach the Second or Third Stage.
And due to changes caused by the surrounding environment, even those ordinary people who reached the Second or Third Stage merely had stronger physiques and lived longer without any means to utilize these abilities.
Most were Shaman Priests, and the faith similar to that of gods, merely able to crudely use this Magic Power.
Those who could break this limit were naturally those who picked up the keys, opened the Treasure Vault, and obtained Divinity.
Or cooperated together and killed a powerful monster to gain the Divine Essence within its body.
They broke through the limit and became Guardian God-like existences of a particular gathering place.
Because although mortals were weak, the surrounding monsters or Divine Beasts were incredibly strong.
That is to say, the crisis faced by humans at this time could be said to come from all directions.
But overall, the environment was extremely good.
Because of the Treasure Vault’s existence, this news seemed to have spread. Of course, Alka felt it probably spread within the so-called Divine circle.
Alka saw numerous lives in this phantom, gaining a general understanding of the current time, which should be during a much older period of the Gods’ Scourge, even longer ago than he thought.
Only in very rare places were there beliefs in all gods.
Because at this time, humans in the eyes of these gods were no different from beasts or ants.
Maybe some playfulness of the gods, or some passing by of the gods, led these mortals to see certain sights. Astonished by such visions, and given that appearances hadn’t changed much, initial godly faiths formed within some gathering places or even primitive tribes.
As these beliefs gradually spread, the behavior of these Divines began courting death.
At least that’s how Alka saw it.
For example, the scene he’s watching now.
"Fearless God of the Forest, we offer our finest offspring here, praying for you to grant us fertile land, provide us with excellent food, protect our tribe, and guard your followers."
The priest was clad in attire made of various natural elements, like clothes and skirts composed of grass, vines, and leaves. He then held aloft two child’s heads, the two children clearly bewildered, unaware of what they would face.
Behind this Priest a man and a woman silently bowed their heads, and you could even see the woman’s tears.
Clearly, this was a live sacrifice.
The giant tree before them stretched out vines and bound the two children.
"What’s this?" One of the children tapped on the vine binding him.
"Mom, mom, hug." The other child, barely able to speak, saw the vine binding him and could only cry out, reaching out to seek a hug.
This cry elicited a response from the mother, who stood up and wanted to go forward.
Only to be held back by the people around.
The two children thus began to cry gradually as they were dragged into the forest.
Watching this phantom, Alka went inside.
Watching the two children being dragged by vines deep into the forest, he saw this so-called Divine.
A likely tree-like entity, or similar to a nature spirit Divine.
Alka considered it very weak.
Could not even be called a god.
At best it was like a demigod.
Because in the phantom, Alka saw he only had two orange and one gold disc within his body.
This world has no path to obtain Divinity, so the demigod before him should be a naturally born Divine, or perhaps a descendent of a Divine.
As he watched the actions of this Divine, Alka frowned, and immediately accelerated time.
Because evidently, he didn’t see those two children as intelligent humans but as things like ants.
This is merely a ghost reflection of history, powerless to affect his mindset, Alka could only skip ahead quickly.
