Chapter 1093: The events before the sun and the moon, the candidate for the Great God of the Sea

Hanging prison.

The hanging prison is located inside the steep cliffs below the floating island, with endless void on one side. If one wants to go up, one must wait for rescue.

"Ah, are you the ground official who came to pick us up?" Under the spider web, the two afterimages were very happy to see Jiang Yi. They touched their chins and guessed, "You are so young, you should be just a candidate for the ground official."

"I am the candidate for the Great God of the Sea." Jiang Yi thought for a moment and spoke with a frank look on his face.

"Hai... Hai... cough cough cough! Candidate for the Great God of the Sea?" Canying was choked by Jiang Yi's words, "You are so brave that you dare to make fun of the Great God of the Sea. Those officials and priestesses will probably lock you up in the most horrible place, the place where according to legend, you will become a 'shadow of sin' after death."

"Whether you believe it or not, just go!" Jiang Yi called a UFO ray in the void.

"You...you can actually command the UFO ray?" the two afterimages said in surprise.

"The three of us have been slandered for our innocence. The local officials are embarrassed, so they asked you, a young man, to release us?" The shadow did not leave in a hurry, but pondered and guessed, "Or did the Great Sea God hear our prayers and send you, the Sea Envoy?"

"Hey! Why aren't you wondering why there are only two people here? Where is An Zhen? Has An Zhen been caught by you?" The afterimage remembered something.

"Well! No! I'm here to take you to find him." Jiang Yi said.

“Eh! Isn’t this a trap that will let us out, let us catch An Zhen, and then lock us back in?” A residual image was surprised, “We will not betray our companions.”

"Although I'm not familiar with him..." he muttered.

"Okura, well, I don't think so." The afterimage "Oshima" next to him called the man's name. He had a good relationship with An Zhen. "Let me ask first, have the officials declared us not guilty?"

"Yes! We are all innocent!" The man named Okura was excited.

"Actually, I'm here to look for "A History of the Sun and the Moon". Are you going to follow me or not?" Jiang Yi has already stepped onto the UFO.

"Looking for "A History of the Sun and the Moon". I remember that this was a banned book ordered by Kaiji Omikami. Could it be that it was noticed by Kaiji Omikami?" Oshima scratched his head.

Another afterimage had another question: "Excuse me, is it legal for us to leave here? Won't it be aggravating the crime? Do you have any procedures or proof?"

"No! No! We are not guilty at all. But after we escaped, it seems that we are guilty."

Jiang Yi looked at them: "I'll count to three. If you don't come up, you will probably be left here forever. One, two..."

"three!"

The two afterimages quickly boarded the UFO ray.

"I think we should go save Anzhen..." Oshima covered up his embarrassment of not wanting to leave just now, "He is a candidate for the ground officer, with a strong personality and superb physical fitness. He climbed up the cliff by grabbing a small protrusion and escaped."

"It's really terrifying!" Okura was on the UFO ray, looking at the towering cliff with a protrusion so small that it couldn't even fit a fingertip. "Is this something a normal person can do?"

Below the cliff is a bottomless abyss and endless void, and just one look at it would make people with acrophobia tremble with weakness in their legs.

"Not bad!" Jiang Yi knew Ying, Bennett, Eula... these adventurers and knights could do it.

"Hmm? Is this evaluation just OK?" Oshima was curious. "I heard that the test for the ground officials requires the candidate to hold one foot with both hands and stand in a circle. The other twelve ground officials start stabbing him with guns. If he is not injured all night, he will be considered qualified."

"These guys who volunteered to be underground officials are really not trained to be human beings." He was full of emotion, they were all monsters in human skin.

"Perhaps the test of the Earthly Official is even more exaggerated?" Jiang Yi asked seriously, "Blindfolded, and defeating ten deep-sea dragon lizards with bare hands?"

"Oh! Is it true? Tell us in detail?" Oshima said.

He had also heard that the earliest earth officials were warriors who fought against deep-sea dragon lizards, and later became law enforcement officers and judges of the underworld.

"Fake!" Jiang Yi was just joking, "Finding An Zhen is much more important than the story we are telling now!"

"That's right! That's right!" Oshima nodded, "It's the last day in Duyuanxia Palace, please don't let anyone get killed."

"An Zhen told me his plan. After he climbs up and gets the equipment he prepared in advance, he will go to the Snake Heart. He said he has some clues about the Kanriya delegation." Speaking of this delegation, he frowned slightly.

At this juncture, those Kanriya guys are really going to cause trouble.

Yandora, who could see and hear the sound through the circular light mirror, cheered: "The clues to Kanreya that Ying and Paimon are looking for are many in Yuanxia Palace! There must be some in the diplomatic documents and some books in the library. It's a pity that Paimon and Ying can't read."

"Once I learn the language of Baiye Country, I will be a translator and ask them to pay me!"

Having said that, in fact, what Yandola likes is not the money, but the desire to suppress Paimon and make Paimon feel like he needs something from her.

Tell her to say Yandora is a pet!

Obviously, she herself is the useless pet.

"A-choo!" Paimon sneezed in the distance.

Jiang Yi asked UFO Island to take people to the heart of the snake.

"He promised to prove the innocence of the three of us even at the risk of his life. If officials or priestesses come looking for us later, point them to the Snake's Heart." Oshima stroked the back of the UFO ray and looked at the Great Sun Carriage.

"He said he would leave some kind of 'Nio' pattern as a mark along the way. It's a creature that doesn't exist in the Abyssal Palace. It can fly and has wings, symbolizing freedom or something."

He thought the UFO ray's fins looked like wings.

"Bird?" Jiang Yi nodded.

"Yes! It's a bird!" Oshima confirmed after being reminded by Jiang Yi.

Neo translates to bird.

"Even if he falls, he will use the bird pattern to leave clues and lead visitors to the evidence that can prove the innocence of the three of us." Oshima felt that An Zhen's words still made him excited and moved.

Come to the heart of the snake.

The three of them saw "Antigonus", also known as "Anzhen", standing next to a white tree, leaning against a backpack.

"Why are you two here? And who is this person?" An Zhen turned around and saw Oshima and Okura.

"It was he who commanded the UFO manta ray to bring us out. Although he is not a ground official, he should be a 'Sea God'." Oshima automatically ignored what Jiang Yi said about himself being a candidate for the Sea God.

"Sea Envoy?" An Zhen frowned and looked at Jiang Yi with a hint of suspicion.

They don't look alike at all! Especially the eyes!

"Anzhen, what's the situation?" Okura asked.

An Zhen thought of something important: "...It's a bit strange! I remember that I was chasing those guys, and then I pulled out a core and threw it in the camp. After that, I was also seriously injured, so I felt a little sleepy."

He recalled his memory: "Now that I've woken up and see you guys, I feel pretty energetic. Am I dying and having a last glimmer of life?"

Oshima and Okura were stunned for a moment.

As "eternal spirits", they had never seen An Zhen during this period of time thousands of years ago.

They looked at An Zhen, who was seriously injured but still able to hold on, and hurried over to support him: "You were holding on there so hard, we didn't even notice you were injured. Now we can see who you had a fight with, and you're seriously injured!"

Then he looked at the bonfires around him and saw, in the dim night, that An Zhen was covered in blood.

Jiang Yi stood aside, observing the meeting between the spirits of the eternal world and the spirits of the eternal world, to test the laws of the eternal world.

"Didn't they realize that An Zhen was already the 'Eternal Spirit'? Did their memories automatically fill in the gaps in their minds about the image of An Zhen?"

Okura and Oshima are together, so it's not surprising that they don't realize that each other is an eternal spirit. But can't they discover An Zhen either?

"Let's not talk about this for now. I have proven my innocence." An Zhen waved his hand, signaling Okura and Oshima not to help him. "It was the guys from Kanreya who stole the books from the library. Although I was the bodyguard who received them, there is no way I would be in cahoots with them."

He looked at Jiang Yi and said, "If you have anything to do with the Sea Envoy, report it to the bigwigs. I have tracked down the Kanreya delegation here and defeated all of them."

Okura and Oshima were shocked: "What...what...what?"

An Zhen is so powerful that he defeated the Kanreya delegation alone?

They remembered that there was such a big machine in the other side's delegation.

An Zhen sighed and said, "I fought with their giant mechanical device for a long time in order to stop it. In the end, I tore out its core. But I was seriously injured. The powerless machine was pressed on the lost book. I can't get it out anymore."

Oshima said quickly, "Anzhen, I forgot to mention that this sea envoy said he came to retrieve "The History of the Sun and the Moon"."

"Really?" An Zhen said, "The core of the giant mechanical device is in the camp. If we hand it over, it should prove our innocence."

"Well! Please wait a moment." Jiang Yi glanced at the core of the relic mechanism.

Different from the ones of today, this core is a triangular raised ring wrapped around a red sphere with golden patterns like the sun.

"Ancient and modern standards?" He remembered that he still had the first eye of the ruins guard in his hand.

The core in front of me still has energy remaining inside.

If put in, it would be enough to activate a Ruins Guardian.

He glanced at the pile of burning white candles next to Anzhen.

Turn around, find the ruins mechanism, lift it up, and take out the book underneath.

"Things Before the Sun and the Moon".

"What we want to record is how the will of heaven took shape on earth. Oh, God of heaven, these creations are all your doings. Please enlighten my mind and let me record them continuously."

When Jiang Yi's incarnation opened the book, the circular light mirror techniques projected onto the pendants all went black.

This chronicle of the Yuanxia Palace, which is forbidden to the general public, is a mixture of fables and chronology, covering the period from the creation of the world to the completion of the Great Sun Carriage.

Jiang Yi's real body obtains what the incarnation sees.

……

The year when the dove carries the branch.

The Eternal Throne in Heaven arrived, and the world was made new. Then the True King, the Original One, began to fight against the masters of the old world, the Seven Terror Kings. The Terror Kings were dragons.

The original One created His own luminous shadows, and the number of shadows was four.

……

This is a much more detailed book than in the game.

Jiang Yi's incarnation closed the book and went to find An Zhen.

"You are innocent!" he said.

"Hehe, although it's gratifying to hear you say that." Oshima said, "However, you are not a law enforcement officer, not a ground official, and I don't know if the recognition of the Sea Envoy will be of any use?"

The duties of the sea official are different from those of the ground official.

By the way, why is it the Sea Envoy who came?

An Zhen looked at Jiang Yi and said, "You are not actually a Sea Master, right? Sea Masters all have snake eyes, and your eyes are human eyes."

As a candidate for the Ground Officer, he knew more about the Sea Master than the other two.

"I didn't say I was the Sea Ruler!" Jiang Yi replied.

An Zhen looked at the unreliable Okura and Oshima.

"Ahem!" Oshima was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you say?"

"I said I was the candidate for the Great Sea God!" Jiang Yi said innocently, "You just didn't believe it, so you found a title of Sea God and put it on my head."

“……” Okura and Oshima, please ask the kind-hearted Umiji Omiya to forgive this madman in front of you.

An Zhen's face became serious; "Who are you?"
