Chapter 773: Ring Temple
What does it mean to never leave?
Qi Ge said that sticking with Luna meant putting Luna's feet in his arms and never taking them out.
He looked up outside.
The fairy garden under the sunset is a colorful picture.
The orange sunlight shines through the treetops, dyeing the colorful flowers red.
The magic light tree in the garden is in full bloom, and the pink, sparkling petals are swaying gently in the breeze, as if the elves of nature are dancing.
Next to the Magic Light Tree is a sea of hyacinths, red, yellow, purple, white...
Hyacinths of various colors are intertwined together, and the fragrance fills the air, which is beautiful beyond words.
Looking at the beautiful scenery and touching the beautiful legs, Qi Ge was very satisfied.
However, not everyone has the heart to appreciate such a beautiful view.
Outside the vast elven garden, Jenny, Malaudia, and Gru were sitting in front of the door, staring at him and Jenny warily.
Although everything around them seemed peaceful, they did not let their guard down at all.
"I don't know what will happen tonight. Your Majesty Luna, I'm a little nervous. What about you?"
Qi Ge asked Luna beside him, but got no response.
He turned his head in confusion and was surprised to find that Luna's eyelids were twitching up and down, as if she was about to fall asleep at any time.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me? Your Majesty Luna, you can't sleep."
Qi Ge was very dissatisfied.
He was massaging Luna's feet, but Luna was about to fall asleep. This was simply an insult to him!
Qi Ge felt like a foot massage technician, grunting and massaging vigorously, but then the customer said:
"Did you not eat dinner?"
Hi!
How can I tolerate this?
Qi Ge immediately increased his strength and rubbed his two thumbs frantically on Luna's smooth soles!
"Ouch! It hurts! Why are you suddenly using so much force?"
Luna finally woke up.
She kicked her feet hard to express her dissatisfaction.
Qi Ge breathed a sigh of relief:
"I'm glad you're okay. I was just worried you might fall asleep.
You must not sleep tonight.
If Chaos strikes or something, I'm counting on you to protect me."
When Qi Ge said this, Luna suddenly seemed to realize something. She said to Qi Ge vigilantly:
"By the way, I've been feeling sleepy since just now. It's weird, it seems like I can't help falling asleep."
Qi Ge's heart suddenly tightened, and he quickly asked:
"Is the door of disaster about to open? Your Majesty Luna, when did you start to doze off?"
"Just when you..."
Before Luna could finish her words, her eyes suddenly closed, and her head tilted to the side as if she was dead.
Qi Ge was shocked: "Oh no! Come..."
Before he could finish his words, he closed his eyes and fell on Luna.
He also didn't notice that Gru and the others outside the garden were running towards him.
…
…
When Qi Ge woke up, he found himself in a ruined temple.
The temple seemed to have been forgotten for a long time, covered with dust and cobwebs.
And Luna was lying in his arms in a strange posture.
Qi Ge tried to call the system in his mind, however, he did not get a response from the system.
This means that he has reached a place beyond the supervision of the Mother Goddess, and all the power he possesses as a player cannot be used, just like in the echoes of history.
"Ride the wind! Shion! Maeve!"
Qi Ge immediately called out in his heart, but even the three girls who had merged with him did not respond to him.
Qi Ge's heart skipped a beat.
The worst result still happened.
Qi Ge immediately touched his ears. Fortunately, he was still a half-elf. It was just the game character that traveled through time, not the real body.
But he had no special skills, just a blank half-elf with barely some agility, and he didn't even have a good weapon.
He was in an unfamiliar place and the only person he could rely on was Luna in his arms.
Fortunately, Luna is a genuine legendary hero. Unlike him, a half-baked player, she has her own power.
Qi Ge pushed Luna's body.
"Your Majesty Luna, wake up. Your Majesty Luna, wake up."
"Hmm~" Luna let out a moan in a daze.
As if she hadn't gotten enough sleep, she slowly opened her eyes and rubbed them vigorously.
"What's wrong with me?"
"Hmm!" Luna, who had finally woken up, suddenly realized her current situation.
She quickly turned her head and looked around, and asked in surprise:
"Seven Pigeons, why are we here? Aren't we in the Fairy Garden?"
"I want to ask this question, too." Qi Ge's tone was a little heavy. "I can't feel the Mother Goddess's aura here. Obviously, this is the work of Chaos.
Your Majesty Luna, please try and see if you can still use magic."
"oh oh!"
Luna subconsciously waved her hands and used the Fiery Wall.
Swish!
A blazing wall of fire rose up, illuminating the surroundings.
Only then did Qi Ge see his surroundings clearly.
On the walls of the dilapidated temple, there are many continuously circulating symbols and a radial altar.
There were many strange words around the radial altar. In Qi Ge's eyes, these words looked like messy patterns at first, but soon the Chinese characters that he was familiar with appeared on them.
Even in this strange place, the Mother Goddess's blessing of translation still works.
"Light breeds darkness, and darkness breeds light."
Hearing Qi Ge reading out the words on the altar, Luna looked at Qi Ge in surprise:
"Wait, you can understand the words on this altar?"
"Of course." Qi Ge said, "This is the special ability of our Yasha God Chosen, a gift from the Mother Goddess.
You should know that we are reinforcements from another world.
Without this ability, just learning the universal language of the Asian world would be enough to discourage most of us."
After explaining to Luna, Qi Ge asked:
"Luna, can you keep the fire wall up for a while and check other places? I want to see if there are any similar hints.
At the very least, we need to figure out where we are.
But if there is only this inexplicable sentence, no conclusion can be drawn at all."
Luna looked a little gloomy and a little embarrassed. She replied:
"Of course we can, but we have to try to save some mana.
I'm sure this is at least not the Yasa world, I can't sense any magic around me.
This means that when I cast magic, I have to consume my own magic points, and they cannot be replenished, so each time I use it, I have less magic points.
You see, the fire wall I release casually is at least ten meters high, but this fire wall is only one meter high.
That's why there's no magic around."
“Is there such a restriction?”
Qi Ge frowned:
"It seems that we need to be more frugal."
Qi Ge glanced at Luna, and without saying a word, grabbed her clothes and took them off.
Luna was stunned when she saw Qi Ge’s naked upper body.
A deserted temple, a strong half-elf with his upper body naked, and a witch who had not tasted the delicious flavor for hundreds of years...
For a moment, all kinds of disgusting images suddenly filled her mind.
"Qi Ge, why are you taking off your clothes? What do you want to do?"
Qi Ge said without hesitation: "Yes."
Luna: ???
Qi Ge glanced at Luna:
"What are you thinking? Not only do I have to take off my clothes, but I might have to take off my pants too.
After you take mine off, I'll take yours off.
If we don't find another source bright enough."
He looked around, picked up a long broken stone, took off his shirt, tied it to the stone, and then pushed the stone pillar into the fire wall.
His clothes suddenly caught fire, and a simple torch was created.
Luna: ...
Chila...
Soon, the wall of fire went out, Qi Ge stretched out a hand and said to Luna:
"I'm going to explore the surroundings, but we have to stay close and personal.
Your Majesty Luna, this is a special situation. Even if you are not used to it, you should try to overcome it a little bit."
Luna hesitated for a while, then hooked her little finger around Qi Ge's little finger.
Qi Ge grabbed Luna's hand without saying a word, then stood up suddenly and lifted Luna up with him.
"Hey...how can you be like this? I'm mentally prepared!"
Luna was very dissatisfied.
"It's an emergency, please forgive me."
Qi Ge lowered his head and said:
"If something happens, I'm afraid I'll drop it if I only have one finger hooked.
Originally, it would be safest to carry you on my back, but I would have to hold the torch with my other hand, and you might not agree to that.
So my bottom line is holding hands, preferably with fingers interlocked."
Luna bit her lips for a while to adapt, and her stiff palms gradually relaxed.
Qi Ge seized the opportunity and immediately inserted his thick fingers between Luna's fingers, scaring Luna so much that her body trembled.
The bottom line between men and women is something that needs to be broken by each other.
If you don't gradually break through the other party's bottom line, the other party will gradually break through your bottom line.
In this regard, Qi Ge was very skilled. At least Luna was no match for Qi Ge.
Qi Ge held a torch and led Luna as they walked around the abandoned temple. They did not find any other text, but they found a long corridor.
The corridor was as shabby as the temple, dark and without any windows.
Qi Ge and Luna confirmed it and walked into the corridor.
Twenty minutes later, Qi Ge frowned.
This corridor is a bit weird, it seems like it has no end, and the main point is that every section of the corridor seems to be exactly the same.
Ten minutes later, the torch went out.
Qi Ge was about to burn his pants but was stopped by Luna.
She really didn't expect Qi Ge to actually take off her clothes. What a ruthless person.
Fortunately, Luna was very good at fire wall magic. She could even condense a small miniature fire wall as big as a mineral water bottle to burn on the stone pillar in Qi Ge's hand, forming a magic torch.
This avoided the outcome of seven pigeons running naked.
Ten minutes later, Qi Ge and Luna were surprised to find that they were back at the altar temple.
"What's going on?"
Luna looked confused:
"I remember we kept going forward, never turning around, and never looking back."
Qi Ge thought about it carefully and said softly:
"We did not turn the corner, but there is another possibility. This space is curved."
As Qi Ge said this, he was about to unbuckle his belt.
Luna was shocked: "What are you doing?! You're still taking off your pants! You must take off your pants today, right?"
"Let me show you an experiment."
He turned the waistband of his pants over and connected the head and tail together.
He pointed to his belt and said:
“You see, if space is inherently curved, and we keep walking in one direction, we will eventually reach the origin.
In our world of Yasha God's Chosen, this is called a Möbius strip.
The beginning is the end, the end is the beginning, everything is a cycle.
The only way to get out of this circle is to jump out of it."
Luna looked at Qi Ge's pants that were about to fall off but couldn't, and said anxiously:
"Okay, okay, I get it. Put your belt back on, I'm about to see it!"
Tsk! So many people want to see it but they can’t catch up, but you just don’t know how to appreciate it.
Qi Ge put on his pants with one hand and pulled Luna to the altar.
“The answer should be hidden on this altar.
Light breeds darkness, and darkness breeds light."
Qi Ge tried to insert the torch in his hand into the gap of the altar.
In an instant, Luna's wall of fire burned along the stone pillars and onto the altar!
Soon after, the entire altar was set on fire, and then the entire temple!
Amidst the raging flames, a melodious male voice suddenly sounded in the ears of Qi Ge and Luna.
“If the future is ultimately doomed to fail, then let’s move on from the past.
All the good things will be eternal in the past."
Before Qi Ge and Luna could be surprised, their bodies suddenly became ethereal.
The fire went out, and the originally dilapidated and decayed temple was completely renewed.
Countless figures were moving back and forth around Qi Ge and Luna.
Enthusiastic and well-trained staff lead visitors through the original illuminated panels, guided by floodlights and with helpful tips on the walls .
Next to Qi Ge and Luna, a girl who looked like a tour guide enthusiastically introduced:
“This is the earliest Temple of the Time Worm.
Most of the inscriptions are rhythmic and poetic, praying for the coming of the Worm of Time.
Interestingly, if you read the inscription backwards, it becomes a prayer for the worm to leave.
Our experts speculate that the Worm may be a deity that is neither good nor evil."
This scene flashed suddenly and then quickly faded away. Then, the brand new temple became dilapidated again .
But this time, compared with the previous temple that was renovated with paint, the current temple has a sacred feeling.
“Light breeds darkness, and darkness breeds light.
Paradoxical intuition, endless love.
All truths are ultimately circular.”
Along with whispers, the basalt corridors echoed with the sound of quick footsteps and the prayers of pilgrims.
Pilgrims wearing purple worm masks walked back and forth in the temple, performing mysterious and strange rituals.
Thanks to their prayers, the originally dilapidated temple is gradually becoming brand new.
There was a flash of light, and everything disappeared again, and then a new picture appeared.
In the picture, four beautiful young girls are kneeling on the ground and praying to the altar.
“The beginning is the end, the end is the beginning.
We are the scales of the time worms that you spread.
The creatures of this world are ready to become your followers. Please come down from the depths of the void and take our world back to the past."
Above the altar, the void was gradually torn apart, and a strange deep purple glow shone on the girl, making her body become lighter and lighter.
Then, the deep purple light suddenly grew larger and shone on the walls of the circular temple.
In an instant, Qi Ge and Luna flew into the air.
They passed through the wall, turned into points of light, and suddenly flew into the sky!
