Age of Mysticism

  A royal special train left the city of St. Lun and ran along the railway to the west.

  In the expensively decorated carriage, Luke sat opposite Xingguang, they didn't speak, Luke looked at Xingguang, and Xingguang looked out the window.

  The scenery of the wilderness outside the car flies backwards, and the farmland is a wheat field undulating with the wind, a sign of a bumper harvest.

   After a long time, seeing that Xingguang hadn't spoken, Luke took the initiative to ask, "Does the 'starlight in my heart' mentioned in Clear Sky's letter have anything to do with you?"

  Xingguang turned to look at Luke, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "'Starlight' is the name I gave myself after you didn't allow me to be called Qingkong. Your Qingkong doesn't know..."

  Starlight didn't answer directly, and Luke, who knew her well, realized that the two must be related.

   "You already know your destiny?"

  The smile on Xingguang's face gradually disappeared. She dodged Luke's gaze and replied: "This is the final mission that Xingkong entrusted to me. Between destruction and rebirth, she pointed out the final path for the World Tree to become an artifact."

"Then what?"

   Starlight looked at the sky outside, and smiled again: "You should have guessed it, right? Of course it's back to where I came from."

   "Is there no other way?"

  Starlight looked at Luke again: "Don't be so reluctant, we still have a chance to meet. When you walk on the path of God, maybe you can find me in this sky full of stars and wake me up again."

   "It's not an easy thing to do."

   "Of course it is not easy to do, but I have time to wait for you. Even if it is ten thousand or billion years, as long as the starry sky is still there, I will wait for you."

  Luke said with a smile: "Okay, I will make a promise with you, as long as the starry sky is still there, I will definitely find you."

  The train runs along the railway, the day turns into night, and the stars all over the sky accompany the full moon and sprinkle their brilliance on the fast-moving train.

  The Moonlight King’s Court has long received the order from the meteorite, and the Moonlight Knights are busy with the secret art ceremony, and a large-scale array map is drawn on the surface of the entire Moon Lake. Whenever the starry sky at night is reflected on the Moon Lake, the array map will rotate by itself, and the reflected starry sky will also rotate with the array.

   A little bit of light fell from the World Tree, like a shooting star, across the starry sky in the lake.

  When the imperial imperial train stopped at the Moonlight King Court Railway Station, the formation on the Moonlight Lake was just completed.

  Getting the news, Luke didn't waste time, and ordered the guards and attendants to carry the mysterious props to Moon Lake. Soon the tree people also came to help, which made the whole moving process much faster.

   Then there is the placement of mysterious props and the preparation of the secret ritual.

  Moonlight Knight completely enclosed the entire crater. The angels and Shuojin people who studied the World Tree here tried to break in several times, but they were blocked by the Moonlight Knight and the treants.

  Luke took the drawings and directed his subordinates to place mysterious props.

  Starlight stood under the World Tree and watched the secret art ritual complete.

  They haven't spoken a word since that conversation. Luke is full of guilt towards Starlight. Ever since she awakened, she has been thinking of herself no matter what. She taught herself how to fight, and helped herself to know the unknown things in this world; she could charge without hesitation for herself, or sacrifice for herself without hesitation.

   Luke, who has been burdened too much, doesn't know what he should say to Starlight who is about to leave.

  Starlight also watched Luke silently, just like she watched all the stories that happened to Luke in the spiritual starry sky.

  Separation has long been doomed, but I don't know how long we have to wait before seeing each other again.

  Night falls.

  The secret technique preparations are all completed.

  The entire surface of Moon Lake is filled with all kinds of rare and mysterious props according to the formation technique.

  All irrelevant personnel retreated outside Moon Lake, Luke walked under the World Tree, and put the artifact tree buds in Starlight's hands.

   "It's time to start..."

  The artifact tree bud is the subject of the secret technique. It sits in the palm of Starlight, looking at Luke and starlight, as if it doesn't know what's going to happen.

   "Let's get started..."

  Xingguang held the artifact tree buds and walked into the starry sky against the lake, and the stars and formations slowly turned. The surrounding light dimmed in an instant, and nothing other than Moon Lake could be seen, except for the faint silhouette of the World Tree and the brighter starry sky above the lake.

   Then the starry sky over the lake also darkened, falling into safe darkness.

  Suddenly a little light appeared in front of the starlight, and she walked towards that light holding the artifact tree bud.

  The secret language recited in her mouth, "I walked in the dark, and found that this place is not all dark. There is always a bright spot ahead, showing me the way forward with a faint light..."

  Every step Starlight takes, his body gradually blurs and glows brighter and brighter. Holding the artifact tree bud, she continued to walk in search of light spots, and continued to recite long secret words.

   "I walked for a long time before I realized that the starry sky is not above my head, but in the abyss. The abyss is not under my feet, but above my head..."

  The darkness above became deeper, and the aura of destruction was suppressed, followed by a large number of fallen tree trunks, branches and leaves, and these trunks, branches and leaves ignited black fire again. The world tree was wrapped in the abyss, and the violent power seemed to destroy it completely.

  The secret language also read the last paragraph: "After the destruction, there is a new life, and the power in between... is the starlight in the heart!"

  The starlight at this time has completely turned into light.

  After she recited all the secret words, the light that made up her body suddenly spread out and turned into countless light spots, lighting up all the stars on the lake.

  Mysterious props and formations disappeared without a trace, and the branches and leaves burning with black fire also disappeared into smoke, but the starry sky above the lake left the lake and rose.

  A round of full moon supported the fallen artifact tree bud, took it and flew to the sky following the stars.

  The power of the abyss receded as the starry sky rose, until the starry sky became a real starry sky, and the world tree wrapped in darkness revealed its majestic appearance again.

  A meteor fell from the sky and fell into the Moon Lake, causing waves of ripples.

  The sound of starlight reached Luke's ears with the shaking of the ripples.

   "Hope is the pursuit of a better future. As long as hope is still there, you can be protected by the World Tree. Goodbye... Luke, I am waiting for you in the starry sky!"

   At the place where the meteor fell, there was a violent splash of water. The buds of the artifact tree rose up from the water, and then grew at a very fast speed. When the trunk and the world tree met, the two trees quickly merged together.

  The world tree transformed into an artifact ushered in another growth, and at the same time the power of the artifact spread to the world as it grew.

  A World Tree language sounded in the ears of all creatures, and was also understood by different species: "I am the World Tree, the artifact that protects 'Hope'."

   World Tree's power has just fallen back.

   Artifacts break through space and distance one after another, showing their power and return to the world.

   "I am the golden compass, the artifact that protects 'authority'."

   "I am the statue of light, the artifact that protects 'justice'."

   "I am Rainbow Arch, the artifact that protects 'Magic'."

   "I am the Red Flame Torch, the artifact that protects 'destruction'."

   "I am the fluorescent star cluster, the artifact that protects 'darkness'."

  The birth of the new artifact and the return of the old artifact brought the whole world into a standstill, and all creatures could not help but be intimidated by the power of the artifact.

  A cry broke the silence of Silver Manor.

   Agatha picked up the newly born baby, kissed his forehead happily, and then saw that there were two young leaves printed between the baby's eyebrows.

   "Is this a gift from the artifact tree bud?" Agatha smiled and kissed the baby again.

  The growth of the World Tree has stopped, and it is still the same as before in Moon Lake. It seems that the power of the artifact just now is just an illusion.

  But Luke can clearly feel the World Tree's network that runs through the world, and the World Tree magical system is officially launched.

  He recited the language of the World Tree that he had comprehended, and the Magic Titan Duke, which was far away in Raging Waves City, teleported over in an instant and sent it into the cockpit. At the same time, various functional modules were sent over one by one, and then hung on Titan's expansion slot.

  Luke quickly performed a performance self-inspection in the cockpit, and found that many functions that have not been perfected can be operated under the blessing of divine magic.

   Is this the power of the artifact!

  But before Luke could experiment with the new function of the Magic Titan, a crack appeared in the sky above Moon Lake, and an angel rushed out from it.

   Theresa!

  She was no longer what she looked like before she entered the abyss. The once beautiful wings turned into bone wings. Her body seemed to be torn apart and put back together again. Some limbs were even just pieces of wood, metal and rocks.

   "Miss Clear Sky asked me to bring you a word."

  Luke opened the cockpit and stood up: "Did you see the clear sky in the abyss?"

   "Yes, Miss Skylight saved me. She told me to tell you that the only light in the starry sky comes from the sun."

  Luke understood what Qingkong wanted to express, and he said to Teresia: "Thank you for sending the letter, do you want to go back to Sky City?"

"yes."

   "The way you are now, probably won't be accepted by the sword of the oath."

   "I found the statue of light, and he has to accept it if he can't accept it." The body was broken, but Teresia's expression was more determined than before: "Now that human civilization also has artifacts, the intensity of future wars will increase."

   Luke smiled and said, "All increase, everyone is still on the same level."

   Theresia sneered and said: "Not necessarily... the return of the artifact will also open up the theocracy. In the future, it will not only be a battle of civilizations, but also a war for the theocracy.

  You have to be careful! "

  Luke felt Teresia's murderous intent, and replied: "I've been careful, and you should be careful too."

   "Then see you later!"

   After speaking, Teresia rushed into the night sky and disappeared in an instant.

  Moonlight Lake returned to silence, and Luke, who was alone, stood on the Duke Magic Titan and embraced the distance.

   Shouting loudly: "I...here!"

  The world tree is shaking its branches, the galaxy is shining brightly, and the moonlight is like a disk.

  In the eastern sky, a round of sun is rising...
