Under the guidance of two divine guards, Ning Liu and his party arrived at the so-called Nine-Color Hall. The entire hall was made of a material like seven-colored glass, with a dreamy luster flowing under the sky.
Outside the palace, there are a large number of buildings, guarding the Nine Color Palace.
The buildings here are not of any known style in Douluo Continent. They are towering into the sky, but instead have a rounded and simple texture.
"My dear, this place is really grand."
Xu Jiushi looked around and couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.
"Looks a little more generous than our Liulitian."
Ning Liu walked in the front, he did not speak, just observed the surroundings silently.
"Your Majesty the Oracle, the high priest is waiting in the temple."
The divine guard on the left said respectfully, and then he and his companions pushed open the heavy palace door.
The interior of the main hall is empty and solemn, and the dome is inlaid with countless luminous gems, like stars.
In the center, an old man wearing a white sacrificial robe turned his back to them and was looking up at the star map on the dome.
His beard and hair are all white, and his figure looks a little stooped.
"High Priest, the Oracle has arrived."
The Divine Guard knelt on one knee, his voice pious.
The old man turned around slowly.
His face was covered with wrinkles, but his eyes were extremely bright.
He did not look at the two divine guards first, but directly focused his attention on Ning Liu and Ning Rongrong.
That is a kind of examination, a kind of inquiry.
Ning Liu and Ning Rongrong also assessed the situation and directly revealed their martial spirits.
"Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda..."
"Two... turned out to be two..."
His cloudy pupils burst out with incredible light, and his body trembled with excitement.
He quickly walked down the platform, ignoring the others, and went straight to Ning Liu and Ning Rongrong.
Then, the high priest stretched out his withered hand, as if wanting to touch the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda beside them, but stopped in mid-air, as if in awe of something.
"The ancient prophecy has come true... The Nine-Colored Goddess has not abandoned her people..."
He murmured to himself, then seemed to remember something, and looked at Ning Liu solemnly.
"Please forgive me for being rude, but for the sake of Nine Color Palace and for the survival of this world, I must confirm."
"How to confirm?"
Ning Liu asked.
"Please two of you, inject soul power into the martial soul and activate its most original light."
The expression of the high priest was extremely serious.
Ning Liu and Ning Rongrong looked at each other and nodded.
The two of them shouted at the same time, their soul power surging.
In an instant, the two pagodas shined brightly, and a bright nine-color halo spread from the towers.
The entire hall was shrouded in this light, and the already luminous gems became even more brilliant against the backdrop of the nine-colored light!
The high priest was bathed in this light, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to relax.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then, using all his strength, he knelt down on the ground.
"The 317th generation high priest of Jiucai Palace, Qi Yue, welcomes the Oracle!"
The two divine guards behind him had already sunk to the ground, not even daring to raise their heads.
"The high priest, please rise."
Ning Liu took a step forward, and a soft soul power held Qi Yue's arm.
"We know nothing about this place, and we need you to explain it to us."
Qi Yue stood up, his excitement slowly subsided, replaced by a sense of relief.
"Please follow me."
He led everyone to a side hall on one side of the main hall.
There are simple stone tables and chairs here, and a huge map hangs on the wall, depicting the mountains and rivers of the world.
After everyone sat down, Qi Yue slowly spoke and told the secrets of this world.
"As you can see, this is not Douluo Continent, but an independent secret world."
"This world was created by the great Nine-Colored Goddess, and its purpose is to protect."
"Protect?"
Ning Rongrong asked curiously.
"Yes, protect."
Qi Yue's expression became solemn.
"It is also for suppression."
He pointed to the map on the wall. The edge of the map was shrouded in large black areas.
h "Those places are the nests of sin beasts."
h "What exactly are sin beasts?"
h Xu Jiushi couldn't help but ask.
"They are not spirit beasts."
Qi Yue shook his head.
"They are...the source of evil."
This word made everyone present feel palpitations.
“Tens of thousands of years ago, the Goddess of Nine Colors and the God of Cookery joined forces to seal the dimensional cracks that invaded the Douluo Continent. But those dark creatures from the alien plane are essentially an evil source. Even if they are eliminated, their leaked energy will contaminate everything.”
Sad, unwilling to let these filth continue to corrode the Douluo Continent, he opened up this secret realm and sealed the most stubborn evil origins that could not be completely purified here. "
"The sin beasts are special life forms formed by those sealed origins after thousands of years of evolution."
Qi Yue's tone was full of fear.
"They have no entity, but their instinct is to devour and corrode. They will devour the vitality of all living things and strengthen themselves. The most terrifying thing is that they can disguise and imitate. In addition to being unable to possess real martial arts souls, they can almost become the appearance of any creature they have swallowed."
Hearing this, Ning Liu suddenly became enlightened.
No wonder the two divine guards shouted to fight and kill them as soon as they met. It turned out that they regarded them as sinful beasts in disguise.
"The mission of the Nine Color Palace is to guard here from generation to generation, eliminate the evil beasts that escaped from the seal, and wait for the arrival of the real oracle."
Qi Yue's eyes fell on Ning Liu and Ning Rongrong again, full of infinite expectations.
"Only the oracle who possesses the purest Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda martial spirit can enter the sealed place in the deepest part of the secret realm, activate the inheritance left by the goddess, and completely purify the origin of evil, or... seal it permanently."
"It turns out that this is the true meaning of the ruins of the Nine-Colored Goddess."
Bibi Dong said softly from the side.
"High Priest, what do you mean, you want us to purify those...evil sources?"
Ning Liu asked.
Qi Yue nodded vigorously, and then shook his head.
"Not just hope."
He stood up and bowed deeply to Ning Liu and Ning Rongrong again.
「I am requesting!」
“On behalf of the Nine Color Palace and all the surviving creatures in this world, I would like to request the two oracles!”
There was a trace of pathos in his voice.
The goal is to completely engulf this secret realm. By then, the seal will be completely broken, and these things may even penetrate back into the Douluo Continent. Ning Liu and Bibi Dong exchanged glances, and each understood the same message from the other's reaction.
There is a difference between God and God!
The Nine-Colored Goddess, whose divinity is supposed to be bright, sacred, and benevolent, naturally will not sit idly by and ignore this situation.
Since she is left in this situation, maybe she is waiting for the person who is truly worthy of her inheritance to appear?
This is the test of the Nine-Colored Goddess.
