246 End of the Path (1/2)
If that Oliver was crazy, then there were no normal people left in Noscent.
Lin Yun even felt that Oliver was probably the one who went the deepest in his study of the Ascian Runes in the entire history of Noscent. He couldn't imagine how Sky Eyes conducted his research during that century of imprisonment. How did he manage to attain such amazing achievements on the Ascian Runes?
After all, from these bloody characters, it could be seen that Oliver could use the Ascian Runes effortlessly, as if he were an Ancient God.
But Oliver was definitely not an Ancient God.
Otherwise, those three Court Mages wouldn't have been able to stop him from slaying the emperor, let alone managing to imprison him in a tower for a hundred years, even if the Court Mages were Heaven Mages.
At that time, Lin Yun was already convinced.
Oliver was completely clear-headed when he wrote those Ascian Runes with blood.
So, the problem remained...
Lin Yun could understand some characters with difficulty, but he couldn't understand those few sentences. 'What ”destruction”, What does he mean, ”no path”? What were the circumstances when Oliver used his blood to write these Ascian Runes? Hold on, no path, no path…'
Lin thought… and suddenly felt numb.
That Heaven Rank puppet he had found in the warehouse earlier seemed to have said something similar.
'There is no path forward…'
'Yes, it was that sentence.'
'There is no path forward!'
'Oh, and it did say something else beforehand.'
'Is there still someone alive?'
These sentences added together had sounded very baffling, but what was unexpected was that one of those sentences would appear on that Planar Path, and that the one to leave those words was the famous Sky Eyes Oliver.
Lin Yun couldn't help brooding over it.
As he thought about it, he fished out a blank piece of paper and a quickly and copied the Ascian Runes onto it. Although he couldn't translate them at the moment, he would be able to research them after returning. If one month wasn't enough, he would spend two, and if two didn't suffice, he would spend a year on it. Even if it ended up taking him ten years, Lin Yun was determined to translate these Ascian characters.
Because Lin Yun already felt that whether it was repairing the Heaven Rank puppet or translating these Ascian Runes, both would help him reach that world-shaking secret.
Lin Yun was still unable to imagine how incredible that secret was, but he was convinced that this secret would definitely be huge.
Lin Yun spent some time copying those Ascian Runes.
After spending all that time, Lin Yun carefully went around Oliver's corpse and led the group forward. Lin Yun always felt some indescribable reverence to that Astrologian of the 3rd Dynasty, even if Oliver had died countless years ago.
It was a bit strange.
After Oliver, there were no more corpses on the Planar Path. As he led the group forward, Lin Yun didn't see anything strange, to the point that Lin Yun even wondered if everything he had seen before was only an illusion.
The only difference was that the light ahead was brighter, and the Planar Path's spatial structure just began to become unstable. There were a few times where Lin Yun even felt a formidable force about to struggle free of its bindings. Lin Yun knew that this was the frightening power that the Planar Path could no longer suppress. If that force was freed, the dozens of them on the Planar Path, the numerous corpses, and even the Planar Path itself… all of it would turn to dust.
This was the most dangerous part of the Planar Path.
At the same time, it was the closest location to their destination.
Gales, rainstorms, thunder and lightning, all kinds of different scenery started appearing, and Lin Yun knew that these were visions coming from the huge force being suppressed by the Planar Path.
”Everyone, careful!” After giving the warning, Lin Yun roused his mana to resist these frighteningly powerful visions.
Time ticked by, and the group could only be described as moving at a snail pace as each step was becoming increasingly more difficult under the battering of the elements. They didn't know how much time passed under this painful torture before the boundless light suddenly burst open.
Feeling dazzled, Lin Yun seemed to have heard an explosion, yet it also felt as if he hadn't heard anything at all.
Then everything cleared up.
