Original God's Dark Priest

Feligis opened the way to the Eternal Oasis, and as a golden light spread out, an emerald green formation appeared in the center of the platform.

Looking at this formation that suddenly appeared, Safir and the others knew very well that it was the teleportation formation to enter the Eternal Oasis.

Saphir walked straight towards the magic circle without hesitation, but when she was about to step into the magic circle, she noticed that Gabriel, who had been following her, did not move.

"Zebele?" Saphir looked back with some confusion. Zibrele stopped where he was, looking at the magic circle not far away, wondering what he was thinking.

Gabriel took a deep breath and asked, "Lord Saphir, I...I feel a little..."

"What?" Safire didn't know why this iron-blooded man suddenly became so shy.

Gabriel shook his head: "It feels a bit unreal. To be honest, I never thought I could get to this point..."

Hearing his words, Saphir fell silent. It was true that Gabriel should not have come here.

She thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "I have a story here. Are you interested in listening to it?"

"If Lord Safir is willing to speak, I will naturally listen attentively." Gabriel bowed his head slightly, very respectful.

Saphir looked at Lilupal beside him, then looked at Feligis: "Do you believe in... past lives and present lives?"

Gabriel was a little confused and shook his head slightly: "I don't quite understand what you mean."

Saphir knew that Gabriel could not understand, but she continued, “I have observed this world from outside the world. At that time, all I could do was observe. I could not change anything in this world.

I have watched the Fatui and Liyue erupt into a great conflict, watched Inazuma ignite the flames of war, watched Xumi fall into turmoil...

Of course, I have seen you too.”

"Me?" Gabriel opened his mouth, and suddenly a flash of enlightenment came to his mind. "You mean the development of Teyvat without you?"

Saphir nodded and said, "Yes, that's why I was so harsh to Babel and the others, because I saw you pass away, and saw Jade fall into grief because of your final broken promise.

What kind of pain is the death of a father for a daughter... I have never experienced it, or rather, I have never experienced a father who loved me dying in front of me.

But I saw such sadness in her.”

"..." Gabriel was silent, and so were Lilupal and Feligis. Even Zhen Ling knew that now was not the time to interrupt.

"Jade has been to this place. You know, she said here... 'As long as my father is here, it can be called home, but now... I am alone.'" Saphir's words were like a sharp knife that pierced deeply into Gabriel's heart.

He had never thought of such a thing, but he knew that Saphir had no reason to lie to him. Those words were something Jade could have said. For a moment, Gabriel didn't know what he felt. Should he be happy?

Even without him, Jade could live well and come out of his death. This should have been a comfort to him.

Saphir noticed the tenderness in Gabriel's expression and chuckled, "Children will grow up. No one will remain in grief over the death of a loved one. People always have to move forward.

But is that enough?"

Is that enough? Of course not.

"We still have a long time to spend with her, and we can't let her grow up so quickly. A daughter who knows how to act coquettishly is the cutest, right?" Safier said with a hint of sarcasm.

Gabriel's eyes lit up. She was right. Gabriel thought so too.

Why did he feel lost before the end? Was it because the smooth progress made him feel unreal? Wasn't smooth progress a good thing?

The confusion in Gabriel's heart was dispelled. He looked at the impotent executive officer and suddenly laughed softly.

Seeing Gabriel suddenly start laughing, Safir was confused: "What are you laughing at?"

"I was thinking, Lord Saphir must have had a childhood too... I suddenly became interested in the way you acted like a spoiled child with your father when you were a child." Gabriel said something very rash.

Safir was not annoyed, but his smile turned a little colder: "Ah... I did..."

She thought of Su Zhiping, the only father she acknowledged and the family member she cherished deep in her heart.

But, besides him, she also has a father.

And that father...she had personally thrust the sword into his heart.

But the demon duke did not put up any resistance when she killed him. Instead, he used up his last bit of strength to give her a gentle hug. It was the first and last hug.

It was from that time that the justice in Saphir's heart was shaken, and she began to doubt, are demons really evil? If the essence of demons is evil, then what is the half of the demon blood flowing in her body?

Is she born evil too?

It was a long time later that she learned the identity of the demon duke, and it was this news that completely shattered her last bit of fantasy about the divine realm.

What kind of good person would instigate his daughter to kill her own father? The divine realm... is really rotten to the core.

Memories of the past continued to surge up, and Saphir's breath became somewhat unstable.

"Lord Safir..." Gabriel's voice awakened Safir who was lost in his memories.

Saphir shook his head and suppressed his restless mood: "I'm fine, let's go and meet the Eternal Oasis."

After saying that, she didn't even look back and stepped into the teleportation array. Gabriel and Lilupal followed closely behind. Veronica had already returned to Saphir's body. Lilupal was quiet, so there was no need for it to come out and suppress the other party.

Although the alchemical metal body is light, it still takes energy to float. Veronica doesn't like to show up in public. It prefers to stay in Saphir's sea of ​​consciousness and observe the world from Saphir's perspective.

On the way to the Eternal Oasis, Lilupal began to sigh again: "My mistress is sleeping here. Oh, after such a long, long time of wandering outside, I finally get to see her face again...

I have been waiting for this moment for too long. This is an expectation that was born too early, and today I can finally fulfill my wish.

All my… ah, all my confusion, all my anger, all the reasons for love and hate…

If she could wake up and come back again, everything would be answered and everything would be worth it."

Soon, the darkness in front of the eyes of several people gradually dissipated, and was replaced by bright light, as if the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining, and there was light at the end of the tunnel.

A group of people walked out of the cramped cave, and a magnificent picture instantly appeared before their eyes.

Green grass, sapphire lakes, pink skies, flying birds, leaping fish…

Everything is beautiful like a dream. In fact, this is indeed a dream.

A dream... that begins with infatuation and ends with infatuation, disguised as the beauty of intoxication with wine and flowers, but contains despair and sorrow, a dream from which one cannot wake up, reflecting the regret of the infatuated person.

Seeing the paradise-like scenery in front of him, Gabriel's pupils shrank for a moment. He had seen the beauty of the rainforest, but the scenery here was beyond the reach of both the rainforest and the desert. The atmosphere was so comfortable that it made people reluctant to leave.

Soon, he noticed something wrong. There were fish jumping in the lake, but both the jumping fish and the splashing water stayed quietly in place.

Birds high in the sky are suspended with their wings spread out. Even without a trace of wind, they are still hanging in the air, never going away nor falling. Their wings are clearly not flapping, but they are still suspended in the air like that, as if it should be that way.

Everything is weird.

"Everything is still..." Gabriel swallowed. Everything here went against his common sense.

Saphir was not surprised because she knew this place.

She looked at Gabriel beside her and said, "The Eternal Oasis, the forbidden land and dreamland of the Tanit tribe. It is decorated with beautiful clothes, but it still cannot change the horrifying horror at the core."

Several people were walking on the fallen thick tree trunk. The bird with spread wings was right next to their ears, so close that they could touch it with their hands. But this made Gabriel feel even more terrified. He didn't know what would happen if he touched the stopped bird.

After walking for a while, I passed by several flocks of flying birds, as well as inconspicuous butterflies and falling leaves. Everything was suspended in the air. This place seemed like a fantasy world abandoned by time.

Arriving at the lake, Safir looked up at the distant sky. A red sun was casting its afterglow. This scene reminded people of the sunset. They had clearly set out in the morning, so even if it took some time, it shouldn't be evening now.

It is obvious that the time here is frozen. Not only that, even the color of the sky does not change. This is an eternal sunset and a sunset glow that will never disappear.

Saphir frowned. She could feel the power of time permeating here. It was obvious that the Red King's understanding of time had reached a certain level.

This realization even surpassed her current understanding: "Ahmar... is really not to be underestimated. I thought that what I saw in Aru was all he had, but now I think about it, maybe if it wasn't for his choice, I wouldn't be able to get to where I am now.

Akhmar... Nabu Marikata... No god is simple..."

"This is the paradise of the hostess, the eternal moment when water and sky meet, the time when 'skill' and 'love' meet, this moment is eternity." Lilupal showed great pride, as if it was proud of all this.

"Eternity..." Saphir chuckled, "Is this what the two gods created with all their might..."

Lilupal was shocked: "Although you are my current master, I will not allow you to disrespect the master and my mistress!"

It can be seen that Lilupal has great respect for the Red King and the Goddess of Flowers, but what does this have to do with Saphir?

She glanced at the somewhat nervous and angry Lilupal and shook her head: “It’s not disrespectful, it’s the truth.

Did you know that Inazuma also has a god who is pursuing eternity? Her vision is the picture here, but her plan is to use other things, and her scope of eternity is the entire country.

Both his spirit and methods are much more brilliant than those of the instigator here."

Yes, in the original plot, the ritual that Ying performed using the statue of Istaru was actually such a ritual of stopping time. When the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue obtained all the eyes of God, combined with Ying's own power, it could create a "Nibelung" that covered the entire country.

Nibelungen also has another name, called "the country of the dead", which means that there is no living person there. All life will become zombies, and turn into deadpools in the time of suspension, guarding this country of the dead without sleep.

There, time will lose its effect, and the ever-flowing river of time will freeze and then turn into ice, and finally, when it stops completely, it will turn into snow that will never melt.

The white snow of time will cover everything and turn Nibelungen into a completely silver-clad tomb. This is also the last defense of Nibelungen.

Once an outsider enters and alarms everything in the Nibelung, the snow of time will rise up and turn into sharp ice, ruthlessly killing all intruders.

This is the most brutal and shallow eternity, and also the most inhuman eternity.

Precisely because he didn't want Inazuma to end up like that in Takama-ga-hara, Saphir tried his best to stop the general.

At that time, due to Dotore's intervention, General Raiden went completely berserk, and Ying couldn't stop him. Saphir was the only one who could stop the general.

Fortunately, she succeeded, otherwise she would have nightmares about leaving Inazuma with Ying and little Paimon in disgrace, and watching countless Inazuma people become the cornerstone of eternity.

She stopped General Thunder, and Xumi still has an Eternal Oasis.

Fortunately, Akhmmar created this place to commemorate past memories, otherwise, this place would definitely be a tomb full of dangers.

Thinking of this, Saphir suddenly frowned, and a possibility suddenly arose from the bottom of her heart...

"Youfei and I have imagined the scenery of the Eternal Oasis more than once." Gabriel looked at everything around him, as if he wanted to engrave the scenery here into his mind and never forget it. "Now, I have finally come here, but Youfei... is gone."

Saphir sighed softly: "Looking at the eternal oasis, has one person fulfilled your dream..."

This is probably what it means to feel the pain of breathing.

Then, in front of Gabriel's surprised eyes, Safir jumped into the lake not far away and stood on the stagnant water.

"Even the water in this lake is still and it won't sink at all. Walking here is like walking on flat ground." Saphir jumped twice, and there was not even a ripple on the water surface.

Gabriel blinked and jumped down as well, landing steadily on the water. "It's true. It's really a miracle."

Lilupal hurriedly followed, and the group headed towards an isolated island in the middle of the lake, where the flower goddess Nabu Marikata rests.

When they arrived at the isolated island and walked past three chairs carved out of tree stumps, Lilupal looked around. His golden spirit showed a sad blue: "Not here... Not here... Not anywhere... My mistress... She's not here..."

Then, it looked at a bottle in front of it that was almost identical to itself: "But I found my own fragments here..."

Sensing the same aura as itself, the last fragment of Lilupal flashed orange-red light and then merged into its body.

In a trance, Lilupal seemed to see palaces and gardens built of rubies...millions of flowers were in full bloom and thousands of birds were singing.

It plays music for the hostess and pours wine for the hostess.

In the mistress's garden, mad monks and impoverished travelers danced with Sage's daffodils and drank the blood of the daughter of the vine...

This is a unique garden in the world. It was once the residence of the Lady of Flowers and is now her mausoleum...

The rose blooms like fire, lighting up the nightingale's life. The candle smiles brightly, but brings disaster to the moth.

It saw the hostess stretching out her hand, her skin as transparent as moonlight, her face indescribably beautiful. It was as if every beautiful spirit was her petal, and every scent came from her...

Then it met the gaze of the goddess of flowers, Nabu Marikata...

At the same time, a woman with an extremely beautiful appearance, as if she was born in heaven, appeared in front of Saphir, but her eyes were empty, and her dark pupils were like a black hole, which sucked Saphir's soul into it in an instant.

Boundless fear spread from her heart. Saphir knew that she was sucked into a hidden secret realm. This time, Nabu Marikata attacked her!

I can sense the aura of the Red King Akhmar on her. This flower god has bad intentions...

"Tsk... You've died once, stop playing tricks here!" Saphir switched forms instantly, using Seraph mode to fight against the invading consciousness, and with one blow, she dispersed the terrible will that was trying to kill her.

When she slowly opened her eyes, what came into view was still the Eternal Oasis, but the difference was that this was not the original Eternal Oasis, but... a silver-clad, murderous... tomb.
