Chapter 674 - 377: The Age of Divine War! (Double Length)
[Since the day when countless manifestations of authority were born, the sight they looked up to was the stark contrast between day and night.]
[The sky at that time would bring the light and heat of the day, and also the silence and coolness of the night.]
[But ever since Asipelos fell, daylight gradually devoured the night, occupying the entire sky.]
[The night that suppressed the high temperatures of the day vanished, leaving only the relentless scorched sun!]
[The earth cracked, the oceans evaporated, countless lives wailed, and the scorching high temperatures nearly turned the entire world into a purgatory.]
[The Earth Authority Ogo cursed incessantly at Oromtar in the sky, not stopping for a moment.]
[Senavia continuously used authority power to bring down rain, allowing some life to barely survive, but under the endless scorching sun, it was always a drop in the bucket, even with her mastery over the ocean authority, she was powerless to change the entire world.]
[The only good news was that Oromtar seemed to have fallen into silence.]
[Since the last declaration of war against Ogo, there has been no further action from him.]
[It seems due to the fall of Asipelos, he is in the remaining expanse of the sky.]
[You and Senavia both think this is a good opportunity to quickly pull more authority manifestations to your side to jointly resist Oromtar.]
[However, before you do this, Senavia suggests first looking for a familiar person, Hernator.]
[You find this a bit perplexing.]
[Although Hernator hasn’t sided with Oromtar’s camp, he didn’t follow you last time, just like Shalira.]
[Speaking of this, you feel a bit indignant; who would’ve thought these two long-time friends would be less trustworthy than Rein, whom you’ve only just met.]
[To your perplexity, Senavia shakes her head.]
[She tells you Hernator might possess important secrets, and the authority he controls isn’t adept in combat, so which camp he’s in isn’t really significant.]
[As for Shalira... Senavia seriously tells you, don’t hold resentment because of the last event, she has more important matters to attend to.]
[Hearing this, you feel somewhat bewildered and confused.]
[However, in the face of your questions, Senavia simply shakes her head, not revealing the truth, leaving you puzzled.]
[What important secret could the Authority of Knowledge·Hernator be holding? What is it that Inoto must do?]
[Senavia is hinting at something for the first time.]
[You think she must have her own plan, after all, Senavia couldn’t possibly harm you.]
[Suppressing your doubts, you accompany Senavia to find Hernator’s Tower of Knowledge.]
[It’s a pure white tower, its upper part shrouded in mist, making it unclear how tall it is.]
[Around it is the City of Books built surrounding the tower, where a group of ape men holding bark quietly constructs and expands this place; even though the scorching sunlight from the sky makes them sweat, it doesn’t deter their actions.]
["They are the Ignorant," Senavia said, these ape men are undoubtedly the ones Hernator gathered from that tribe, he endowed them with divine power and gave them the title "Ignorant," meaning those ignorant before knowledge.]
["You wait here, I’ll go find him," Senavia said, glancing at the top of the tower.]
[You are a bit puzzled, why not go together? You still want to ask Hernator why he lacks loyalty.]
[Hearing this, Senavia seemed a bit helpless and explained the reason to you.]
[When you arrived at the Tower of Knowledge, Hernator must have sensed it, but he didn’t show up to greet you, which indicates his own concerns.]
[So, Senavia decided to find him herself.]
[Hearing this, though you feel a bit dissatisfied, you still follow Senavia’s arrangement.]
[After Senavia leaves, you can’t help but turn your eyes to these ape men called the "Ignorant."]
[They use bark as a carrier, hair as ink, recording piece after piece of knowledge, diligently expanding the entire City of Books, placing crucial knowledge into the Tower of Knowledge.]
[Hernator seems not to have spared power to protect them from the scorching sun.]
[The high temperatures and blazing sun made them sweat profusely, soaking their fur, leaving them exhausted.]
[Even so, they have not ceased their movements.]
[What puzzles you is that as the unique species guarding this anchor point, the Tower of Knowledge, they seem to lack any special lineage.]
[Even your Dream Guardian has a special lineage... Could it be he’s unwilling to spare that bit of power? Hernator is being too stingy.]
[Curious, you casually stop one of the Ignorant, asking what exactly Hernator granted them.]
[In response to your inquiry, the Ignorant was quite courteous and calmly replied, "The God of Knowledge only granted us one thing... the thirst for truth."]
[After saying this, the Ignorant left.]
[You are left completely bewildered.]
[Honestly, you didn’t quite understand, this Ignorant unexpectedly gave you a feeling similar to Senavia and the former Hecilibia, which is truly strange.]
