Chapter 582: Foreign Land Arrives

On the stargazing altar that looked like a large bird's nest, the bird spirit sat motionless, like a hermit in feathered clothes.

Since it completed its mission - spreading the history of the Stork Pattern Clan to all parts of the island, it came to this wonder born by the King of Light. It became quiet and taciturn, watching for news from the sky.

Neferi walked into the feather-covered platform.

She wanted to ask, this decade is coming to an end, whether there will be another decade.

Now the bird spirit is like a demon, always saying that an advanced civilization has traveled a long way through the pottery jar burial and is about to arrive at the island.

But every time the ten-year appointment is approaching, the advanced civilization that contacted it always breaks the appointment.

The reasons are also strange.

The bird spirit always explains.

"The regular turbulence affected the route, causing it to deviate from the existing direction. They are actively adjusting."

"They were hit by a large number of unknown debris and had to postpone their journey to complete the repairs first."

"They were infected with a strange disease, and a chaos broke out among them, so they had to postpone it for a while."

"They encountered a kingdom of God along the way. To avoid the risks brought by that kingdom of God, they need to change the route in a roundabout way, which will consume more time."

...

Every reason sounds plausible.

But the more times they broke their promises, the more unbelievable it became.

Nefeli personally believed in another explanation.

As far as she knew, the bird spirits and the fish spirits didn't get along very well. They didn't like each other since they arrived at Zhou Island.

The bird spirit is a theorist. It believes that it is necessary to avoid the mistakes of the Stork Pattern Clan in the past and collect more existing history in order to better expand civilization. History should be used to plan the future.

The fish spirit is a practitioner. It sorts out the complete and incomplete heritage of the old civilization, and then throws them out one after another regardless of good or bad. How to use it is a matter for people. It only inherits it, and the result has nothing to do with it.

But as the influence of the Practice Party on the Kingdom of the Sun grew, after the genetic sequence changed the country, the influence of the fish spirit completely surpassed that of the bird spirit. Many people in the outside world only know the fish spirit, not the bird spirit.

Even now, few people come to the Star Observation Altar to watch the bird spirit.

If it were the fish spirit, there would be three layers of people around, and it would be so crowded that no one could get through.

As a female vengeful spirit, Nefeli saw it clearly.

Behind the bird spirit were densely packed vengeful spirits, and those light balls released strong negative emotions. Even standing next to it, you could feel a sense of gloom.

Nefeli has always been restrained in her words to the bird spirit to avoid overly stimulating this frustrated funeral spirit.

But even if it is a funeral spirit, it is not a good thing to be so crazy.

The island of Zhou will be open to the outside world sooner or later.

When travelers from other worlds come and see it like this, the bird spirit will probably become a joke and a weird story... It will be troublesome if the vicious cycle continues.

Nefeli took a deep breath and smiled at the bird spirit: "I asked His Majesty the King of Light, do you want to consider touring other worlds?"

"You are the most suitable ambassador to promote the culture and traditions of the Stork Pattern Clan and the Kingdom of the Sun. This is a glorious mission..."

"They are coming."

The bird spirit suddenly shook its wings.

It murmured: "They are here, they are here..."

Nefeli sighed in her heart.

This is so crazy that she refuses to accept reality.

It's not easy.

Huh?

This feeling is...

Nefeli raised her head suddenly.

A small light spot appeared in the sky, and the red spot pulled a white line in the sky, falling straight towards the Observatory.

Nefeli quickly evacuated the people around.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's them! It's them! It's the visiting advanced civilization of [Pottery Jar Burial]!"

The bird spirit spread its wings excitedly and stood up.

The white light slammed into the soil not far away, causing a slight vibration to the earth.

Nefeli flew over with the bird spirit and saw that the white light faded away. Inside was a barrel-shaped vat as big as a house, which was steaming.

The vat was muddy brown, with ancient and sloppy black murals on the surface. The painting showed a group of wild men holding spears and bows and arrows, hunting various animals.

Nefeli immediately recognized that this thing was one of the [Pottery Vat Burial].

Is there really a high-level civilization visiting?

She was shocked.

This is a big deal.

A small animal walked out of the surface of the vat, and the animal grew bigger and bigger. It was a pure white horned deer.

[Deer Spirit].

"Finally we meet. I'm very sorry for the twists and turns along the way. I have repeatedly postponed and changed the arrival date. Please forgive me." The deer spirit's voice was light and ethereal.

The bird spirit said in the manner of a landlord: "There are many difficulties in the virtual universe. I hope you can arrive safely."

"Well, sorry for bothering you."

"No, you are very welcome."

Both funeral spirits were polite.

Nefeli quickly switched her thoughts and introduced herself: "Welcome to the guests from afar. I am Nefeli, the apostle of the great Yao God who rules here."

"Hello, Miss Apostle, I am sorry to come to visit you. I am the funeral spirit and messenger of [Dixin Kingdom]. It seems that no other deer spirits exist here. Just call me Deer Spirit."

The arrival of the messenger from [Dixin Kingdom] made the whole Kingdom of the Sun very excited. The contact with the extraterrestrial civilization even temporarily calmed the previous social unrest.

People all wanted to get in touch with the deer spirit, talk to him, or even go to a certain country to see him. But not everyone is so lucky. The deer spirit's schedule is also very tight, making it difficult for ordinary people to get close contact with it.

Nefeli, who was in charge of reception, was under great pressure.

She came to the temple and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, the deer spirit requests to stay on the island temporarily for twenty years. After twenty years, they will continue their journey."

"Can."

Chi Lian told her: "I have reported this situation to Lord Yao. Lord Yao issued an oracle and ordered me to handle it with full authority."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Nefeli, you seem to be worried. You can express any thoughts and opinions you have. There are no outsiders here."

The female apostle hesitated for a moment: "The deer spirit said that you can use its [Hunting Field Tank] to cross the void space and enter the [Deixin Kingdom] where it belongs. I was invited to go there."

…

The first two invited visitors to the island were Bird Spirit and Nefeli.

The deer spirit took them into the tank wall together, crossing a long distance through the power of immortal wonders, and entering the distant country.

The country of Dixin is a powerful civilization with a long history. The cities there are arranged neatly and orderly on the surface of the world, like lines of text printed on a newspaper.

The country is made up of 1,000 cities, each named after a beast, tree, or bird, and any road can pass through each one.

Nefeli was taken by Lu Ling to the core of Dixin Kingdom, which is equivalent to the capital city [Deer City].

Lucheng stands with many astonishing buildings stretching from the sky to the ground, shaped like trees and mountain peaks. People are as small as ants in front of them.

Buildings used as public facilities are almost all high-level mythical wonders, exuding awe-inspiring power.

The local residents are called "people of the heart". They have different shapes. Nefeli recognized the burly tree people, the orcs with animal heads and humanoid shapes, ordinary upright humans, erratic ghosts, and white bones with only skeletons left. The ancestors...the country of Dixin has a high degree of racial tolerance.

The locals were extremely enthusiastic towards the two visiting guests. From a distance, they would greet Nefeli and the Bird Spirit one after another with cordial and friendly greetings.

"Welcome to Lucheng, our guest from afar."

"I hope you like it here."

"Please stay here for two more days!"

"If you have time, please come to my house as a guest!"

…

The residents of Lucheng showed a surprising level of order, propriety, knowledge and cultivation.

Nefeli chatted with more than a dozen locals and found that they were either proficient in politics and law, or knowledgeable in casting and breeding, or had attainments in art or medicine. There were also many experienced warriors of various races. .

Every citizen of the heart possesses astonishing talents. They are willing to impart their experience and skills to fully demonstrate the country's profound cultural heritage.

What worries Nefeli even more is that there are no temples or buildings like temples in Dixin Kingdom.

"Sorry, there are no gods enshrined in Dixin Kingdom right now."

Lu Ling explained: "It's not that we don't have a tradition of belief in gods, but the gods we followed in the past have all fallen, and all their statues have collapsed."

"It's really regrettable."

Nefeli echoed.

"It was also because after experiencing too many life and death, Di Xinguo didn't want to be involved in the war between gods anymore, so he settled in a secret space and wanted to live a peaceful life."

Lu Ling recounted: “This time it was because of the resonance between the [pottery jar burial] civilizations that I got to know the Bird Spirit. I heard that the Kingdom of the Sun is a peace-loving country, so I plucked up the courage to come and visit.”

"Rest assured, our world is completely safe."

The bird spirit said proudly: "Under the divine power of Lord Yao, and with His Majesty the King of Light sitting on the throne, there is no danger in the island world. If a temple of God Yao can be built here, Lord God will protect this place."

"Dixin Kingdom has experienced too many separations and abandonments from gods, so it has become cautious and conservative. Please understand."

Lu Ling said with a calm attitude: "If we don't believe in and worship a god, we will be safer. If we decide to follow the god, it will put the country of Dixin in unpredictable danger, so..."

"I understand, I understand."

Nefeli nodded.

…

After listening to the apostle's description, Chi Lian couldn't help but wonder: "Since [Ji Xin Kingdom] is such a country that is free from disputes, why are you so worried?"

"Your Majesty, it's because you are too peaceful and restrained."

Nefeli said: "An extremely developed civilized world, far larger than the Kingdom of the Sun, and with a strong sense of war-weariness, how can it ensure the long-term order and stability of its vast territory?"

"Your Majesty, wherever there are groups, there are bound to be disputes and disagreements. In the country of Dixin, what force is there to eliminate and check and balance these contradictions?"

"The excessive politeness and friendliness shown by the people of the heart, each of them has a noble character and a humbling kindness. They are like heroes and prophets that only appear in legends and stories, so perfect. "

"Too perfect is inherently suspicious."

Chi Lian nodded slowly: "You are right."

"In addition, there is the most critical point."

Nefeli's voice deepened.

"It has been less than a year since Lu Ling came to Zhou Island, and some voices have been heard in the kingdom. Those voices came from different individuals, but they all expressed the same meaning."

"They said: As a backward civilization, the Sun Kingdom needs to fully emulate the Dixin Kingdom, eliminate the differences between ethnic groups, give every citizen sufficient power and welfare, and regularly let everyone go to the Dixin Kingdom for further study and transformation. Strive to get rid of the backward appearance as soon as possible and become a developed and advanced civilization like the Dixin Kingdom."

Chi Lian's eyes condensed.

"Interesting."

He smiled: "I see... Lord Yaoshen asked me to deal with this matter."
