Rebirth of The Strongest Celestial

Chapter 38: Re: Acquainted

Tyr looks around the large temple. The temple is ladened with iconogra[hy to the Sun on a field with a spear and hammer. Seven rings above the field. The floor tile has a tinge of green making it look like a field. The stained glass is bright yellow with the figure of a man holding a book flanked by seven kneeling figures. Tyr trips falling over a dead body. The skeleton is wearing a soft dark robe with the same seven ring symbol. Looking around there are thousands of these people. All dead.

Tyr walks around the large spacious hall. The bodies are forming a ring around the elevated eight steps. Atop the raised a cracked shrine. Tyr can feel the chill in the air. The chill is caused by the many spirits trapped here. He has experienced this before as a captain. Back then during the Spirit Wars, he led an incursion that failed. It was a humbling defeat. Vengeful spirits are extremely powerful immune to physical damage.

Tyr makes sure to not disturb the bodies. He wouldn't have looted their bodies. but also the easiest way to summon a Vengeful spirit is to mess with its bones. Tyr runs his hands along the wall rough walls. He had seen a Dumaigey before rough and void of any detail. A Dumaigey is this special type of illustration made in one of his favourite time periods in-game. In the Second Era, the main historian who specialises in this period is a Moleman. Molemen don't have eyes so they use Dumaigey on walls. It is an oddity since Molemen are deathly fearful of the sun. So it's odd to see them and their methods in the Temple of the Sun.

The Dumaigey its self comes to life as Tyr pushes mana into it. The Best kind of Dumaigey is filled with music, voices and other cultural records. The moving Dumaigey showed the creation of the universe, the birth of magic and the first Supreme Being. Her alluring naked form, from which all life is born. She gave birth to many powerful beings. Some grew and called themselves gods. They followed in the Supremes one's glory and built new life across her body.

The Dumaigey slides and rotates. Showing a great passing of time. And The Supreme Being growing larger moving on from known space. The Gods raged a war against the other beings killing imprisoning, stealing them away until they only remained. Dumaigey speeds up even further turning into a blur nothing is visible. Then Nine beings created a massive world. This world arm in arm these eight beings work. Focused. They are joined by others gods adding to its splendour. The oceans are born. Each a different colour of blue. Lands rise killing two oceans. The gods break the pact lands are thrown into the sky and drifting away. The lakes and rivers soon flow with water bringing with them life.

Tyr is amazed of course he has heard the creation myth of this world. But to see it and such detail. To see the Principality of Byu being settled in the sky is something else. Byu is the third-largest continent on the planet and the only one that flies. It is firmly nested in the far east Where the Heaven Mountian range can be found.

[You have gained a rough world map!]

Tyr smacks his lips together this is a prize as valuable as his sovereign class. Even in his future, a complete map didn't exist. His is detailed but he has a rough approximation of the location of every land in the world a few shifting around in real-time. He can even see the ruins of the Second Realmic empire around the kingdom of Asrugo. Pike is but one of the regions where a central city once stood. Looking over it carefully. He adds a number of other villagers. The old central city is the entire south-going southwest coastline. One can even trace the legendary magic barrier that used to be a border marker.

Tyr smiles Styx is going to lose his mind over this. It is becoming a massive undertaking much bigger than even he thought. He goes adding another page to his book of knowledge. The design is for a mana engine spark. The spark goes by many many names to a mage it is a Magic cube. To an engineer like Tyr is a Mana drive and to a technomancer it is Ultimate power. If they can upgrade to at fifteen elemental Rubric. His design in particular is a basic single elemental mana engine spark. Depending on how he makes it can have a number of uses. In the machine empire, this is also the main cultural divide between the two major Machinacl Empires.

Tyr, find his tools leaning against the cracked shrine. All the things an engineer needs a hammer, tings etc are all their also measuring tools and different carving knives. An engineer is an amalgamation of several creator classes including the assembler. His Sovereign Engineer pursuit is his primary focus. He knows this because even if it's blackout he can make just about make out the symbol of the hammer and cog on top of a building shaped like an anvil. All his purists seem to be some kind of amalgamation of his merchant pursuit. has aspects of diplomacy and governance while is his warlord pursuit has to do hunting and gathering.

Tyr rightly believes that Styx said is true. His class seems to be a cut above the rest. He walks out of the temple disappointed. He meets no guardian and received no inspiration from lord Nogu. Outside Styx and SKY Ocean Hunter are swapping thoughts about the alchemy and apothecary lifestyle class. While there is some overlap like potion making. The techniques they use are fundamentally different.

Tyr joins them. The boys are all celebrating getting to level ten each of them. Has finally reached the minimum threshold for the Shifting Island. The changes to SKY are the most eye-catching to the boys.

SKY Ocean Hunter says, "So if we all have rulership classes doesn't that mean we will eventually fight one another." He can't help but think of how he can raise a large ocean force quickly thanks to his rulership class.

Tyr says, "Yeah if I didn't trust you guys with my life. It might be a possibility. Still thou it's lucky you guys changed the races as you did." Tyr is more sure now that their decision is the wisest they have made so far. Given the new course, they plan to take. They are agents related to every major realm type. Tyr knows that the Ocean is in fact its own realm. Much like the Sky, Spirit and other realms and learning to live and in those lands will be extremely tough.

The lads all shine with a strange energy. Behind them, the real figure of a man appears. It is Lord Nogu this time he is only wearing a kilt. He is older than life itself his wrinkles mountains on his face. His eyes sunken lifeless and his radiance still brilliant.

Lord Nogu's voice is both weathered and drying like wooden kindling. "Well done you have finally, have taken the first steps. The world is in grave danger. You are in grave danger, my children. I am no longer strong enough to help. Grow strong to build the gateway. Beware the closing of the Mad eye, Shun the unity, kill the invader!" The book of Knowledge is transformed from a book to a real technical manual. The Technical Manual is the Engineers unique tool. It is similar to Maginist design specs or even a Tinkerer Template. This is a specific kind of tool used to house the complex magic formulas used in construction. It serves as an intermediary magic scriptor.

Tyr says, "My lord we are your children?" Tyr hasn't heard of a god having a player as children. They only have followers, Apostles, fanatics and Prophets. The Prophet class is one of the hardest advanced classes to get but Tyr knows a few will rise. This is much different from the main quest.

Lord Nogu says, "Indeed the reason I had you all do this insanely convoluted method is to gain recognition from the Supreme Being under her law you are now my children. This is my final gift, my children. Your cousins will soon be born." His spirit is fading becoming clear.

Styx says, "How many?" He has already figured it out based on their interactions. That these cousins will be other players. Who have undergone a similar process.

SKY Ocean Hunter says, "Guys my body feels weird." He is starting to feel the effects of a spell.

Lord Nogu says, "My sons go make the world your own. I hope to one day hear the heavens scream your name." Lord Nogu smiles his work done. These children had cleared the ten-step Heavens Trial. While not difficult not many knew about it anymore. This coupled with the fact that they also underwent his personal Trail Tower which imparted some of his grace to them. He is now able to turn them into true Celestials. The process had robbed him of the grace he had left. He even had to supplement with the tools of his siblings. At they would have real power, unlike those Sycophants who claim to be true believers.

They all started to float each experienced a real transformation. In the middle of which the system went offline.
