Sulina understood Emerald's thoughts and intentions, and afterwards, as her spokesperson, conveyed her will.
With Ameliete's will in place, naturally no one dared to cause trouble for the Slater family anymore.
Moreover, after learning that the birth of the magic tide was indeed closely related to the consumption of magic power, many people who originally thought the Slat family was ridiculous began to take the Slat family's statements seriously.
Drinking the magic-repelling potion would certainly not turn them into ordinary people, but the Slat family's protection and attention to those who are magic-repelling has still gained the recognition of many people.
After all, the birth of magic rejecters is random, and even the most elite families can still produce magic rejecters, including Melson and Lohid.
So after Sulina conveyed Emerald's will, Melson first sent all the pink-haired magic rejecters in the family to live in the Ark City.
The Lohid family followed suit, and other major families also sent their magic-repelling members to the Ark City, along with a large amount of non-magical living supplies.
The activities of the Slater family and the Ark Salvation Society proceeded more smoothly.
This was clearly thanks to Emerald's support, so the Slater family quickly reciprocated with a gift for Emerald.
Debbie Slater, who had already played the riddle-teller in front of Emerald several times, came to Locke City once again to visit, saying that she was willing to tell her all the information that the Slater family possessed.
This was undoubtedly a very important matter, and Amelie even arranged a half-day study session for the students of the Demon Suppression Sisterhood to meet with Debbie Slater.
This time, Debbie Slater finally stopped being the riddle teller and instead told Emerald a story that took place a hundred years ago.
The story is not complicated. A hundred years ago, a powerful member of the Slat family was unfortunately knocked into the depths of the fog sea by the enemy during a battle, and got lost in that strange fog.
The powerful member of the Slat family could not escape the mist even in death, but he had a very special magical talent: after death, he could project certain important information he saw in his lifetime and send it to a certain place regardless of any obstacles.
The Slater family received such a message.
Information indicates that deep within the foggy sea lies another continent, the exact size of which is currently unknown, as it is also shrouded in eerie mist.
The continent is devoid of life, but it contains many abandoned man-made structures in a style unlike any other country today, suggesting they may be from a civilization from a previous era.
The powerful member of the Slat family was already severely injured when he was knocked away, so he died not long after entering the continent within the mist.
But before he died, he made a very bold conjecture based on his observations of the ruins of the pre-era civilization.
The previous era was destroyed by an endless tide of demons, and the tide of demons was closely related to magic.
The Slat family later interpreted this information and concluded that the intensity of the demonic tide would increase with the increase in the amount of magic consumed. The endless demonic tide was the world's final reckoning with magic civilization and magic users, and that magic had to be abandoned in order to survive the apocalypse.
It was from that time on that the Slater family completely changed their strategy and focused on figuring out how to survive the apocalypse... to the point that their original pharmaceutical business was taken away by others, and the family declined as a result.
But all of this may not be worth it, because if the Slater family's salvation plan really succeeds as they guess, then in the new world after the apocalypse, the Slater family will at least be on par with the Melson Lowhid family, or even surpass them to become the new number one family.
In short, whether the Slater family truly wants to save the world or intends to seize the opportunity to go further, their current actions are helpful in surviving the apocalypse, so there's no need to fall out with them.
However, the meeting between Emerald and Debbie Slater ended badly, as Debbie Slater once again asked Emerald to help persuade everyone to give up using magic, but Emerald refused without hesitation.
The strength of the strong is all earned through their own hard work and cultivation, so why should they give it up?
Magic is the cornerstone of all modern technology; how can we abandon it?
Putting aside the fact that the Slater family's claim of apocalyptic reckoning is merely speculation, even if it were true, would giving up magic guarantee their survival? And would not giving up magic necessarily prevent them from resolving the endless demonic tide?
In any case, Emeryt would never give up her own power; she would give up the world rather than her own power.
Negotiations for further cooperation failed, but the relationship between the two sides did not break down, and they maintained their original policy of keeping to themselves.
The Slater family continued to expand their city of magic rejecters and promote their magic-repelling potions to people everywhere.
Meanwhile, Emerald was busy training students of the Demon-Suppressing Sisterhood and personally sealing off the Level 7 demonic tides that were erupting all over the world.
More than three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
More and more Level 7 demonic tides appeared, but fortunately, starting from the second year, the students of Emerald began to graduate one after another and became official members of the Demon Suppression Sisterhood, guarding the Level 7 seals in pairs around the world.
The students who are now learning town magic from Emerald are already in their third term.
Although the World Consciousness had been bullied by Dao Ancestor Ji Yue and was restricted by someone unknown, and was now often picked up by Amelie and smothered with face wash, she was still the World Consciousness and knew everything about this world.
The world consciousness's initial judgment was absolutely correct. Now, four years after the Dao Ancestor merged with the Dao, the eerie mist in the Sea of Fog has finally completely dissipated.
At the heart of the Sea of Fog, there truly exists a third continent in this world.
This continent is not large, only over 700 million square kilometers, even smaller than the Kangaroo Kingdom on Blue Star in Amelie's previous life.
As Debbie Slater had previously described, the New World was completely devoid of life, yet it was filled with traces of man-made structures. The architectural style was also quite different from that of modern architecture, making it highly likely that these were remnants of human civilization from the previous era.
The secrets of the destruction of the last era, the true secrets of the demonic tide, and the various secrets of the world consciousness itself should all be found here.
There's not much to say, let's organize the army and expeditions and begin investigating the New World.
The group that first arrived on the New World with the archaeological survey team was just an ordinary army. Apart from the commander, there were no other third-stage powerhouses, only a magic warship for emergency use, and dozens of Scarlet Moon sisters who served as medical communications soldiers.
After all, according to the results of a wide-area magic scan of the new continent, although there are a large number of buildings that seem to be from the previous era, there is no life on this new continent. There are no humans, animals, monsters, or even plants.
Since there was no life, the archaeologists believed there wouldn't be much danger, at most some tricky traps and mechanisms. They just needed to bring more medics who could use the Flame of Life.
In fact, the archaeological survey work a few days ago was indeed without any problems. There were no dangers in the buildings that were suspected to be ordinary dwellings from the previous era. Experts found many relatively intact household items and some written and pictorial materials in the dwellings.
Amelie had been paying close attention to this matter, and upon learning of the archaeological team's findings, she immediately had the household items and written and photographic materials sent to her.
The images are mostly blurry, but you can tell that the civilization of the previous era was once very advanced, somewhat like the futuristic science fiction world in Amelie's utopian works from her previous life.
The script... Amelie didn't recognize it either. This script was very strange, and it was not the same type of script used by the major countries today. The difference was like that between English and oracle bone script. It would probably be very difficult to decipher the content in a short time.
However, those everyday items gave Amelie a sense of familiarity.
These everyday items, in terms of residual energy, are undoubtedly powered by an energy similar to magic, which should also be the fundamental miracle power of this world. However, due to the different understanding of it by the previous era civilization, they are somewhat different from magic and spiritual power.
The design concept of these household items is very similar to the electrical appliances in Amelie's previous life. They are easier to popularize and operate than the magical devices currently used by the Federation. They are likely produced specifically for people who have no theoretical knowledge.
This gave Amelie a rough idea of the pre-era civilization: it was likely a powerful, technologically advanced civilization, but its energy source wasn't electricity; instead, it used some kind of magical, miraculous energy. The combat strength of ordinary human individuals would probably be very low, but they would definitely possess weapons of terrifying power.
"not good……"
Just as Amelie was about to remind the archaeological survey team of her conjecture, bad news from the front lines arrived first.
The archaeological survey team suffered heavy losses.
When the investigation team first started investigating ordinary residential houses, they did not encounter any danger.
However, the investigation team later discovered a place that appeared to be a former factory, where they encountered factory guards who are still operating today.
It was a humanoid weapon made entirely of metal, much like a robot from science fiction, and its fighting style was very simple.
A beam gun capable of firing beam attacks, and an energy shield capable of providing defense.
These metal guards fight without any skill; it's all about numbers.
The beam gun was powerful enough to penetrate the defenses of any second-stage powerhouse, and the energy shield could block almost all magical artifacts and attacks from mages.
With 500 against 16, the Federation forces were no match for the factory guards, who nearly wiped them out in just a few rounds of beam gun fire.
Upon receiving the distress call, the magic warship immediately sailed over, intending to use its magic cannons to suppress the factory guards with firepower. Unexpectedly, the factory also had anti-aircraft guns.
It was a simple, unadorned beam of energy, yet it displayed the beauty of numerical power, piercing through the shield of the magic warship in a single strike and shooting it down.
Fortunately, the factory guards were only guarding the factory. Once the Federation forces and the investigation team were a certain distance away from the pre-era factory, the guards stopped attacking. Otherwise, everyone would probably have died under those terrifying beam guns.
"They really do have some terrifying weapons..."
Upon receiving the news, Emery sighed for a moment and immediately deployed her ace.
She dispatched Tianyin and Theresa Feiyue, and also hired more than 20 third-stage powerhouses from the Lohid Club to escort the second wave of the investigation team to reunite with the survivors of the first wave and continue their investigation of the New World.
Tianyin, the former senior sister of the immortal sect, is still incredibly powerful.
Although the factory guards of the previous era possessed incredibly powerful weapons, they were no match for Tianyin's Divine Firmament Sword and were easily annihilated.
After capturing the factory of this pre-era civilization, the investigation team discovered more information and confirmed that the pre-era civilization was definitely much more advanced than the current Allen Federation.
Originally, the deciphering of the secrets of pre-era civilizations was slow due to the different types of writing systems, but this situation was broken by an unexpected person.
She is Amelie's sister, Luviria Melson.
Lulu was there to visit Emerald City, since Emerald City, where she works, is only separated from Locke City by a strait, making transportation very convenient. She would come over from time to time to escape the increasingly brutal battlefield around her.
However, when Lulu came to visit, Emerald was looking at the documents and materials from the pre-era civilizations that had been sent back from the New World.
Lulu glanced at it curiously and found that she could actually understand it. She not only knew the meaning of the words but also their pronunciation and could immediately and fluently pronounce them.
Emery was greatly surprised, as if she had finally discovered the blind spot, and quickly gave her sister a thorough check-up.
It turned out that Lulu's true talent wasn't actually Elvish; it was just that Lulu had never encountered any unknown language before, so her talent hadn't been triggered.
Lulu's true talent should be called language proficiency. Simply put, she can understand the meaning of any language at a glance and even knows how to pronounce it in the most authentic way.
Emerald's way of verifying Lulu's talent was simple: she wrote down her hometown dialect from her previous life and showed it to Lulu. As a result, Lulu not only pronounced everything accurately, but her pronunciation was so standard that Emerald even suspected that Lulu was also a time traveler.
In short, with Lulu, this humanoid omnipotent translator, the progress in deciphering pre-era civilization data began to accelerate rapidly.
Lulu, who originally came to visit her sister, was forced by Emery to work intensely. Not only did she have to translate the pre-era civilization materials that were sent to her, but she also had to compile a dictionary of the pre-era civilization's language.
Lulu's arrogant and willful nature has always been supported by Emerald, but now Emerald is also ruthlessly exploiting her labor, leaving Lulu with no choice but to work.
And so, thanks to Lulu's efforts, the secrets of the pre-era civilization were quickly revealed.
According to the name given by the pre-ancient civilization, the continent that had been shrouded in eerie mist was called the Holy Scripture Continent. They also referred to themselves as humans, and their nation was simply named "Qi".
That energy, similar to but different from magic and spiritual power, was called magical energy by the pre-era civilization. All the technologies of the pre-era civilization were based on the development and use of magical energy.
The pre-era civilization did indeed perish from the endless tide of demons, roughly 23,000 years ago. The Kingdom of Qi tried its best to fight against the demonic tide, but unfortunately, it still couldn't win.
But what exactly is the endless demonic tide, what are the magic rejecters, who placed the restriction on the world's consciousness, and how can it be lifted? These questions remain unclear.
After all, most of what has been explored on the Holy Scripture Continent so far are ordinary residential houses, with only one factory, so there is naturally no top-secret intelligence.
However, it's clear where to find the answer.
Many documents discovered from the ruins of pre-ancient civilizations mention that the capital of the Kingdom of Qi, the City of Origin, was a megacity containing the core technology of the Kingdom of Qi, and it was the last city to fall during the endless demonic tide.
The answer to all the secrets must lie within the City of Origin.
Let's continue exploring. The location of the City of Origin is quite clear. Let Tianyin and the others lead the strong to push there as quickly as possible.
With the strongest combat force personally leading the team, the exploration of the Holy Scripture Continent will proceed at a rapid pace.
Although some factories or resource points from previous eras still have mechanical guards capable of fighting, they were all quickly turned into scrap metal by the Divine Firmament Sword.
In less than two days, Tianyin led her people to push to the City of Origin.
Here, Tianyin finally encountered a formidable foe.
It was something very similar to a giant humanoid robot, like the Gundam from science fiction works on Earth, the planet Amelie's previous life.
There are eight such robots around the City of Origin. Fortunately, the other seven are too badly damaged to be started again, and only one can still fight and will indiscriminately attack anything that gets close to the City of Origin.
Even when Tianyin and Theresa Feiyue joined forces, they still couldn't defeat that giant robot. Its combat skills were also quite ordinary, but its numerical values were simply terrifying. The Divine Lightning of the Firmament, which was said to be able to break through all laws, struck the magic energy shield and was like a spark.
Upon receiving the news, Emerald had no choice but to take action herself, bringing Julia along as well.
Even when Emerald, Julia, Tenon, and Theresa Scarlet Moon, arguably the four strongest individuals in the world, joined forces, they were still unable to subdue the giant robot for the time being.
This alone gives us a glimpse into how terrifying a pre-apocalyptic civilization, which possessed multiple such weapons, could be destroyed by a demonic tide.
Seeing that a quick victory was not possible, Emery decisively changed her strategy and began to slowly wage a siege against the giant robot.
She first had Theresa Scarlet Moon, who didn't have to worry about dying, charge head-on, and at the cost of dying 22 times, she tested out all the giant robot's attack methods and combat logic.
Afterwards, Emerald refined the battle strategy, and led Julia, Tenon, and Theresa Scarlet Moon, just like in her previous life when they teamed up to fight a boss in an online game, slowly whittling down the giant robot's health bar.
Theresa Scarlet Moon is a healing shield, Julia is a semi-tanky melee DPS, Tianyin is an assassin, and Emerald herself is an all-around mage who can handle offense, defense, support, and healing.
Yulia is also Emerald's wife, and the two have fought side by side for many years. According to the game, Tianyin and Theresa Scarlet Moon are Emerald's pets or summons. In short, they can all quickly understand and execute Emerald's orders, and the whole team works together very well.
Even so, the battle lasted for a full twelve days. During this time, the powerful members of the Lohid Club couldn't get involved even if they wanted to. They could only stay away and watch from a distance, making sure they didn't get in the way.
Twelve days later, the giant robot, already damaged and vulnerable to attacks from Emeryte's team, finally gave out, even with its near-infinite magical energy and terrifyingly high power output.
The battle was a success, and the giant robot fell.
Without the giant robot, Emerald naturally entered the City of Origin herself.
Although there were still many magical guards in the city, similar to those in the abandoned factory, they posed no threat to Amelie's team and were quickly cleared out.
At this point, thanks to the dictionary of pre-ancient civilization texts that Lulu had compiled over several days of intense work, Amelie was already able to roughly understand the written records of the pre-ancient civilization.
The City of Origin was indeed a magnificent city. Even after more than 20,000 years since its fall, its former glory is still evident.
In the heart of the city, Amelie found the core building of the former Kingdom of Revelation, which was also the pinnacle of technology from the pre-era civilization, with almost no effort.
All the secrets are finally about to be revealed.
