#699 - Chapter 499 The Pressure of Reality

Jin and Tian Yue Shi walked out of the library. The air was fresh, and the sunlight shone on them, illuminating their tired but expectant faces.

The two had just emerged from the library when Loki's figure appeared not far away. He had his back to them, seemingly waiting.

"Loki!"

Jin raised his voice slightly, breaking the silence.

Hearing the call, Loki turned around, a undisguised smile on his face.

His eyes twinkled with an indescribable light, as if he knew the hidden meaning behind this encounter.

"You're out."

Loki smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping over the two of them. Seeing their expressions and attitudes, he seemed to have guessed that they were surprised by their discoveries here.

"It seems you are very interested in the things on this island."

Jin nodded gently, his eyes still filled with shock:

"I didn't expect to find such valuable information here.

It's a pleasant surprise."

Tian Yue Shi walked to Jin's side, her eyes still deep and calm, but the slight smile revealed the joy in her heart:

"Indeed, the trip was worthwhile."

Her voice was low and steady, as if she were stating the obvious.

"Haha, since you like it, then feel free to study it. Anyway, this place is known to all the giants of Elbaf. It would be a good thing if you could really figure something out."

Loki's smile was still gentle, seemingly not minding their amazement.

He took a few steps closer, his eyes glinting:

"But you might as well take a look around, not just at those Divine Scriptures."

Jin and Tian Yue Shi exchanged a glance. Although they both understood what Loki meant, they did not respond immediately.

They were still standing in that atmosphere woven from ancient myths and legends, as if attracted by some force, unable to extricate themselves.

Tian Yue Shi was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned to look into the distance, her eyes piercing through the dense bushes in front of her, looking towards the group of giant rocks away from the crowd, and said in a low voice:

"The history here is far older than we imagined, and many secrets are buried in the dust of time."

Jin's gaze followed her eyes. He did not respond immediately, but stood there quietly, as if recalling the ancient chapters he had just read in the library.

Myth, prophecy, change... these words constantly intertwined in his mind, forming a grand picture.

Although he couldn't fully understand all the details, he could feel that behind these ancient ruins, the fate of the entire world was hidden.

Seeing that they didn't respond for a while, Loki smiled slightly, seemingly not in a hurry:

"What are you thinking about?

Is it that 'Divine Scripture'?"

Jin finally came back to his senses, a touch of emotion on the corner of his mouth:

"Yes, that book made me think of many things, especially the Sun God mentioned in it.

We originally thought these myths were just fictional, but we didn't expect them to have some kind of implication."

Loki looked at them, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. That deep gaze made Jin pause involuntarily.

At this time, Loki's tone became more serious:

"Although those myths are legends, some parts of them may not be just fictional.

Some things that you may not have access to are what really deserve attention."

Tian Yue Shi frowned slightly, her eyes sharp:

"Are you saying that these myths may be related to the current situation?"

Loki nodded and said in a low voice:

"Not just the situation, but even the direction of the entire world may be affected.

What you are now exposed to may only be the tip of the iceberg."

Jin's eyes narrowed, and a sense of vigilance rose in his heart:

"Loki, are you saying that some of the content in these myths may be hinting at a crisis we don't know about?"

Loki was silent for a moment, as if pondering how to express his concerns.

He finally spoke, his tone becoming unusually low:

"I can't tell you everything, because there are some things that even I don't dare to touch easily.

But one thing I can be sure of - the legend of the Sun God may mean a new change, or even some kind of destructive force."

Jin's heart skipped a beat, and he felt an unknown sense of oppression.

"New change?

Are you saying that the revival of the Sun God will change the balance of the entire world?"

"Maybe,"

Loki's eyes became even deeper,

"And the direction of this world may have been quietly guided by some force.

Do you know that the legend of the 'Sun God' is not only a symbol of light, but also a symbol of destruction and rebirth."

Jin took a deep breath, and countless questions arose in his mind.

What does all this mean?

Does the revival of the Sun God foreshadow the end of the world, or a new beginning?

He knew that he and Tian Yue Shi had fallen into a mystery from which there was no turning back.

"Then, what should we do next?"

Tian Yue Shi asked, her voice calm and firm, as if she had long been prepared to meet the challenges ahead.

Loki smiled slightly and turned to walk into the distance:

"Follow your intuition, you may find deeper answers."

Jin and Tian Yue Shi looked at each other. Although their hearts were full of doubts, their minds were now aligned -

Since the mystery of the world had appeared, then they were destined to step into it and uncover the truth behind the layers of fog.

Jin and Tian Yue Shi stood on the vast plains of Elbaf, surrounded by a lush green scene.

In the distance, huge trees towered into the clouds, as if supporting a sky, and the library in front of them and the Divine Scripture that Loki had given them were still stirring up waves in their hearts.

However, although this place was full of tempting mysteries and profound history, they didn't have much time to savor it carefully.

"We have to leave quickly."

Jin said in a low voice, looking at Tian Yue Shi, a serious look on his face.

He knew that although the scene in front of him was fascinating, the New Navy's actions had not stopped. They were still nervously tracking the pirates' whereabouts and were ready to set off to deal with new threats at any time.

Tian Yue Shi nodded lightly, knowing that they could not stay in Elbaf for a long time.

She turned around, her eyes fixed on the ancient forest in the distance, which seemed to hide many secrets, but she knew in her heart that the task at hand was more urgent than exploring these historical sites.

"Loki's message has indeed given us some gains, but now the pressure from the New Navy still exists. We can't let any pirates slip away from under our noses."

Tian Yue Shi's voice was low and calm, revealing an invisible pressure.

Jin also took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and in that blue sky, some undercurrents that he had not foreseen seemed to be faintly emerging.

He turned around and looked at Loki, who was standing not far away, frowning slightly, seemingly also thinking about where to go after this brief reunion.

"Loki, about the legend of the Sun God..."

Jin opened his mouth, but before he could finish his words, his eyes fell on Loki, but his thoughts had drifted into the distance.

He knew that although this island and its mythology had aroused their interest, the pressure of reality could not be ignored.
