355 The Slate of Civilization (1/2)
Lu Zhiyu held a glaringly bright white slate. Lights from the slate shone across the Witchcraft Garden and lit up the entire Capital of God.
Countless symbols and scripts rotated inside the slate, moving with the light. Ancient cities, species, legendary heroes, kings, and spirits emerged in the lights beaming out from the slate. Its glorious radiance covered the enormous Capital of God.
Within the lights, there was Saga City, the first city of orcs, City of Gold, the first human city, the royal capital Adara of Sahagins, and Sylve, the city of elves.
Even the Capital of God was dimly visible in the sky. Cities with epics, legends, and endless glories emerged in the gorgeous luster. As lights and shadows flowed out, new eras of new civilizations were created and developed, and the silhouettes of celebrated heroes appeared within the cities like statues.
From the Age of Kings in Saga City to the crumbling of the Holy Seville Empire, humans had built the golden Ahenaten Kingdom, the silver Prolis Kingdom, then the copper Tyron Empire, up through the fall of Crete Kingdom. The central province was at war for two centuries, until the King of Mercenaries, Lynn Ahenaten, rose with the Sword of the King, and the descendants of kings with golden blood fled to faraway lands as the royal capital fell.
The Luhmann Kingdom was replaced by the Kingdom of Rosa d'Oro. From the start of the Batko Kingdom to the end of the Pusuote Kingdom, kingdoms devolved into endless violence. Cities rose one after another in the blink of an eye and crumbled soon after in the lights. The flags over the cities changed continuously, as no one could stay king forever.
”The start of civilization, the mouse-people city of Master Sophoc! The twelfth Wolf King Costa of Saga City! The Golden King, Ahenaten! The first elf, Mehare! The mermaid queen, Sally!”
The founder of the Kingdom of Rosa d'Oro, Rooney, held a dragon-lance and rode a black dragon. The first Pope of the Kingdom of The Church of Light, Hodap, held high a scepter. Saintess Kelly wore the Mask of Faross. Lion King Will held the Sword of the King. There was also the visionary King of Crete, Elliot III, the apostle of the devil who burned at the stake, Leves, the King of the Dead swathed in bandages hidden by black robes, and Adonis, and the first king of Batko, Yip Ima Batko.
Many more silhouettes hid in the flowing lights, including both ancient and recent influential figures. On a tall tower cutting through clouds stood several figures wearing white wizard robes with silver linings, looking down to the ground.
They were all crucial figures who pushed the wheel of history, guardians and heroes of each race and civilization.
”Is that the Slate of Civilization?” Eva asked as she followed behind Lu Zhiyu. She saw Lu Zhiyu take possession of the Slate of Civilization from the host of the Divine Kingdom. The slate recorded all history, progress, and every civilization from every race, hero, and epic of Maria's World.
It was a recorder as well as a witness of civilization. All existing and extinguished civilizations were recorded on the Slate of Civilization. It was also a crucial tool used by the three gods of civilization to manage and record the world civilization system.
Only when the three gods of civilization held the slate, the living system and rules of the world would be truly perfected. All members of every species would then integrate into Maria's World.
Before, even if the divine system was being perfected, it had only perfected the world rules and integrated most clergy and saints into the system. Now, even commoners had become an integrated part of the rules and systems of Maria's World.
Lu Zhiyu held high the slate. Every city and silhouette flashed before his eyes, bringing up memories buried deep down.
”Right. This is the Slate of Civilization. A slate that records all civilizations, histories, races, and heroes. What once existed shall not be lost. What once vanished shall enter into eternity. The tracks left behind shall be recorded on the slate. The world rule shall be perfected again. No one can stop the world from becoming perfect,” said Lu Zhiyu.
Fairies on the Capital of God all looked up to the sky, witnessing the history of Maria's World shown by the astonishing Slate of Civilization. They never imagined that seeing the history of another world could be so glorious and breathtaking.
Fairies raised their heads from bushes and flowers. In the divine cities, great fairies stopped and looked up. All were staring at the figure holding high the slate, and the view of the world.
