547 The Mountain Without End Part 2 (1/2)

”Let me inform them.” Lex wrote a letter and took out a flying puppet to deliver it to the others. Luckily, they had been leaving site markers along the way, so the flying puppet would still be able to fly back without getting lost. Lex released the flying puppet after changing its magic nucleus to a higher grade, then said to Saleen, ”I will ask them to wait. Don't worry.”

”Okay,” Saleen nodded in agreement. He thought to himself, ”If I can have this dimension all to myself, is there still a need to return to Metatrin City?”

Of course, Saleen did not intend to take his own sweet time to climb up the mountain. Sika and Bain were different from normal warriors too. After resting for four hours, everyone continued to push forward. Just like that, the four of them flew for two months before finally reaching the top of the mountain.

Once they reached the mountain top, everyone besides Sika was so tired they felt like their bodies would break apart. Sika had an easy time because she used the monster bones' strength, but for the others, the journey had taken its toll on their mental capacity.

The mountain top was as they imagined. A gigantic temple was in the center and there was a moderate-sized plaza in front of it. In the center of the plaza was a huge stone tablet.

After a short rest, Saleen and the others came to the stone tablet. The words inscribed on the tablet were in the ancient Myers language. As Saleen read the words, his heart was filled with waves of emotions.

The words on the tablet described how the mountain came to be. Saleen's guess was right, this was the Mountain Without End indeed. What he did not know was that the mountain was transported over from the giant dimension and not created by the Goddess.

The history of the mountain was related to the first dynasty of the Myers Mainland.

During the first dynasty, humans were formidable. Even so, the Goddess of Myers was still the only god of the mainland and had many disciples. When the first dynasty had waged war against the gods, they retaliated, but it was ultimately ineffective because the humans at that time were extremely powerful and had many allies.

In the end, the gods came up with a plan and killed one of the gods that dwelled in the skies of Myers Mainland; the Sun God.

The Sun God was the subordinate of the Goddess of Myers. Although it was a false god, it was still extremely important. After the Sun God had been killed, the Myers Mainland instantaneously sunk into the depths of darkness. Even if a replacement sun could be found, without a God to control it, it would not be able to enter the orbit quickly enough before it left the Myers Mainland again.

That was when the Goddess of Myers intercepted. She used her spell to secure a sun into the orbit and allowed it to rotate freely. This staved off a potential disaster on the Myers Mainland. Although it was of little difference to those with power, the ordinary human would have died without the sun.

In those times, Gods could still enter the Myers Mainland dimension freely, so the incident with the Sun God was bound to happen. The Goddess of Myers decided to use her godly powers to seal up the Myers Mainland dimension. Other than humans, even the God's powers would not be able to infiltrate the dimension. One of the consequence of this was that the Goddess of Myers would no longer be able to leave.

The Emperor of the first dynasty was extremely grateful for the Goddess' help. He decided to collect countless rare and special items and creatures from every dimension and offered them to the Goddess as a show of gratitude.

The Mountain Without End was what the humans transported over from the giant dimension.

Saleen once tried to imagine what the humans were like at the peak of their powers, and how much strength they possessed. He would never have imagined that they could even move the stars. Although the Mountain Without End was huge, it was nothing compared to that.

Based on the astrologer's ancient classics, the sun was an enormous ball of fire, bigger than even the Myers Mainland. The temperature on the sun was so high that it could melt many types of metal directly, including rhenium gold. It was hard to believe that the sun hanging up in the skies of Myers Mainland was actually transported from another galaxy by humans.

No wonder the humans dared to attack the Gods at that time! That was not arrogance. If Saleen had that kind of power, he would probably have developed the same kind of wild ambitions.

The Goddess of Myers already foresaw her fall, so she used these offerings from various dimensions to fill up this dimension of hers to create a burial site for herself.

The conditions attached to taking away the seeds of the divine tree was simple. As long as one signed a contract on the stone tablet, opened up all the Goddess' temples on the mainland, and convert one-hundred-thousand disciples; one would be able to inherit all the fortunes that the Goddess had left behind including the seeds of the divine tree.

There was a deadline to this contract. The conditions must be fulfilled within one-thousand years, or else the soul of the person who had signed the contract would be locked up within the stone tablet for eternity. Regardless if the seeds of the divine tree had already started to grow, they would disappear and return back to the temple.

Obviously, at the time when the Goddess created this stone tablet, humans still led very long lives. Now, amongst the Myers Mainland population, only grade-9 mages could live past one-thousand years.

Saleen hesitated. Opening up all the temples should not be difficult because the Goddess would surely have left behind coordinates. The difficult part was converting one-hundred-thousand disciples.

Without miracles, what are the chances of converting people?
