Chapter 2138 Oser
In the Abyss of Annihilation, outside a deserted ruin, Lin Jiu looked at the dilapidated building in front of him. The towering tower had lost its former uprightness, and the walls were mottled and covered with cracks, as if it could collapse at any time. Most of the tiles on the roof had fallen off, leaving only a few tiles hanging alone on the eaves, swaying in the wind, making a harsh sound.
Walking in, you can see that the doors and windows of the building have long been dilapidated, the door frames are crooked, and the door panels are rotten, as if they would be crushed into dust with a slight push. Although the carvings on the window frames are still exquisite, they have been eroded beyond recognition by the power of the dark magic, and have lost their former color and luster.
The surroundings were desolate and overgrown with weeds. The once magnificent palace was now only in ruins, with blurred murals and collapsed statues. Everything looked so desolate. The air was filled with a damp, moldy smell that made people feel a chill.
Lin Jiu walked into the temple. The murals on the ceiling had faded, leaving only patches of mottled marks. The statues collapsed, and the fragments were scattered all over the ground. A strong and cold atmosphere came to his face. The light could hardly penetrate the broken roofs and windows, and the whole space was shrouded in darkness. Occasionally, a few rays of sunlight leaked through the gaps and shone on the dusty ground, forming mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of desolation.
The interior of the temple was in disarray, with various broken walls, collapsed statues and broken decorations scattered all over the floor. The tall statues had long lost their former majesty, some were broken in half, collapsed on the ground, and were unrecognizable; others were left with only lonely pedestals covered with thick dust and moss. The once exquisite murals on the walls were now blurred, and only some vague patterns and colors could be vaguely recognized.
The stone wall was covered with mosses and vines, which clinged tenaciously, as if telling the passage of time. Lin Jiu's eyes swept over these things, and finally stopped at the statue in the center of the hall. Looking at the damaged statue, Lin Jiu couldn't help but sigh, no matter where you are, it's good to have someone above you.
Although the buildings of the Yangyan Bird of Tarin were also dilapidated, they were only dilapidated because of Melia. Most of them were damaged by the erosion of the dark magic. The largest palace in the middle was still well preserved. But now this temple was not only eroded by the dark magic, but also had many traces of external damage. Even the statue in front of him was seriously damaged.
The statue was about two-thirds intact, with the head missing, leaving only a blank section above the neck, as if it had been ripped off by some powerful force, leaving behind an uneven, cracked section that looked particularly hideous in the dim light.
The arms were broken, leaving only the broken limbs hanging weakly on both sides of the body, with bent fingers, as if still telling of some kind of pain and struggle. The torso of the statue was covered with cracks and peeling paint, revealing the rough stone inside, which made it look even more fragile and vulnerable. You can see that the statue was originally carrying something on its back, but when Lin Jiu arrived here, it was empty and had been dismantled.
However, even though only the ruins are left now, one can still see that the folds of the statue's clothes are carved vividly, and one can feel the statue's former majesty and power.
There are still some vague inscriptions and patterns on the base of the statue. These inscriptions may record the history and legends of the statue, but they are no longer legible. The patterns are even more mysterious, twisted and intertwined, as if hiding some deep power.
Lin Jiu was very familiar with this kind of power. He stared at the pedestal and thought to himself, "It is indeed the temple of the God of Time. But now it has been destroyed so badly. Even if the God of Time left something behind, it is probably destroyed... But let's wait and see."
That's right, the place where Lin Jiu is now is the temple ruins that he asked Melia Phantom about, which is close to the Yangyan Divine Bird Palace Group. There are many temple ruins nearby, including the Temple of the God of Time and the temporary residence of the God of Judgment.
These temples were not built by the gods themselves, but by the believers at the foot of the mountains. After that area was swallowed by the Oblivion Abyss, these temples became ruins scattered in the Oblivion Abyss.
Lin Jiu had already asked Melia Phantom about the God of Time. Melia Phantom had all the memories of Melia before she completely fell into the devil. As a person of the same era as the gods, Melia naturally knew the intelligence of the gods.
In fact, Melia, the leader of the Yangyan Bird Clan, could be said to be the only "Son of the World" in that era, shouldering the heavy responsibility of saving the world. However, after learning the price to pay for saving the world, Melia, the "Son of the World", gave up her job and defected to the enemy camp. She is still alive today, which shows that she is a character with both luck and strength.
From the phantom of Melia, Lin Jiu learned the origin of the God of Time, Oser. In the mythological world, he was a clock that became a spirit.
Time is an irresistible force. It can make faces age, swords rust, and trees wither. All tangible things cannot escape the fate of being erased by time. Only time itself is immortal. To understand the mystery of time means to master eternity. This is why the gods are immortal.
On the top of the mountains, before the residence of the gods was destroyed by the power of the Well of Annihilation, there stood a magnificent and tall bell tower. The most eye-catching thing on this bell tower was undoubtedly the ingeniously constructed ornate bell hanging on the top.
This is a masterpiece created by the God of Creation and the Craftsman of God. Unlike ordinary clocks, it has a mysterious power that can synchronize with the surrounding time. Its swing can influence the speed of time passing, making time pass as fast as a white horse passing by, or as slow as a snail's pace. When it stops, time will also stagnate briefly, making everything around it fall into absolute stillness.
As time went by, the clock gradually acquired self-awareness, and one of its hands turned into a body that carried the consciousness. He carried the clock on his back, walked on the tops of the mountains, and ranked among the gods. This is the origin of Oser, the god of time.
According to Melia's phantom, the God of Time Oser did not disappear in that war. The war between the gods and the demons ended with the gods disappearing and the demon lord Roy being seriously injured and sealed. After the war, there were sporadic gods still alive, and the God of Time Oser was one of the fire seeds.
Melia had already turned into a demon, but she had not been completely assimilated. Her only goal was to find a way to revive the Sunbird, so she did not participate in the battle, but just watched as a bystander. The confident demon lord Roy did not force her to participate in the battle.
How to say it, Melia is very familiar with the God of Time Oser, and it was only after the war between gods and demons ended, when there were only three or two gods left, and Melia became a demon, that they became familiar with each other.
But considering their purpose, it is not surprising that they are familiar with each other. For Oser, the goddess Lina is not only his mentor, but also his guide and mother. Oser naturally wants to find a way to save the gods.
Melia also wondered if she could use Oser's ability to go back in time to pull the timeline back to before the Yangyan Bird tribe died. The two hit it off and made a series of plans with the goal of going back in time.
