Chapter 1840: 511 Magic Spring Water and Divine Contract
...
"So familiar..."
"I must have been here before."
A murmur from little Ye Li resonated from behind Matthew, her eyes filled with curiosity and confusion, but utterly devoid of fear or hesitation.
The kid sure had guts.
Matthew thought to himself.
He quickly confirmed that he and Ye Li had both returned to their normal states.
However, somewhat worrisome was the fact
that they could not use magic or magical abilities in this place!
"Is spellcasting prohibited beyond the Door of Aether?"
Matthew speculated.
Following the guidance of the data bar,
his gaze swiftly passed over the Magic Fountain, the crown on the withered tree, and the ring on the tree stump.
However, what ultimately captured both of their attention was a shelf placed behind the tree stump—
The shelf appeared to be a simple workbench.
Its construction was very rough, and although it was assembled with mortise and join, many details revealed the maker's carelessness—
or perhaps a lack of skill?
"This workbench, one side higher, the other lower, and this large protrusion at the join..."
While silently criticizing it,
Matthew and little Ye Li were drawn to the workbench, as if by mutual consensus.
Quickly,
they locked onto the source of their attraction—
It was undoubtedly the little items placed on the table.
These items emitted an aura entirely different from this place, obviously not native to the world beyond the Door of Aether but more like they were brought in from the outside.
Matthew fixed his gaze upon them.
A simple picture book.
A pair of golden scissors.
A small wooden box that seemed quite heavy.
And a map filled with countless black lines...?
"This..."
"Could these be her belongings?"
"She must have been here before, I feel it... This sensation is so strange, I'm a bit sad, but there's more comfort..."
Little Ye Li's voice suddenly fluttered with emotion.
She gently held her chest, her luminous large eyes misting slightly.
Yet, her petite face still showed more curiosity than panic.
Confronted with little Ye Li's expectant look,
Matthew nodded slightly.
The workbench and the items on it were most likely left by The Goddess of Magic, Ye Li.
Rumors had it that Ye Li left behind extremely valuable treasures beyond the Door of Aether, the most supreme authority in the Multiverse, which in possession would guarantee invincibility!
Matthew had always been skeptical about such rumors.
If it were that powerful,
why didn't Ye Li use it herself?
Yet, he also believed that Ye Li must have left behind some rare and exotic treasures here.
First,
Matthew opened the picture book made up of simple drawings.
After flipping through a few pages,
Matthew's eyebrows slightly raised:
"Drawings by Ye Li herself?"
"Her artistic touch... seems on par with mine!"
Little Ye Li peeked over to get a closer look.
The two of them quietly perused the contents of the picture book, and although The Goddess of Magic's drawing skills were mediocre, the content was distinguishable.
Quickly,
they became aware
that the picture book roughly chronicled Ye Li's life!
Matthew interpreted it.
The content of the first drawing depicted a baby being tucked into an object resembling a space capsule by three or four gorgeously dressed women.
Subsequently,
the capsule was launched into space by some kind of rocket device.
Behind the starry sky,
there was a planet whose surface was engulfed in flames of civilization.
The rest of the drawings were vague.
Matthew could barely make out the silhouette of a huge head in the background behind the planet—
"Is that the head of some kind of creature?"
"Similar to a giant beast?"
"So, Ye Li also fled from a destroyed planet?"
Recalling the remarks of Death's servant Mayer when he talked about the origin of Camela Fortress and his opinion on gods like Ye Li,
Matthew felt that his guess was likely very close to the truth.
The subsequent contents were quite standard.
The space capsule took Ye Li to Aindor.
The baby grew into a girl.
But throughout this process,
she suffered many humiliations and abuses.
On the earth of Aindor, She encountered many mighty creatures—
The most tragic incident was
when she came across a giant spider-like monster.
The spider repeatedly dragged her into its lair, tormenting and abusing her, enough to break the will of any ordinary person.
But Ye Li was different.
She fought again and again, eventually managing to escape the spider's den battered and scarred.
And when she left the spider's lair,
Her features seemed to have matured a bit.
Beginning to take on the appearance of a maiden...
"Ye Li wasn't from an ordinary race."
"To suffer abuse like that, to have a severed hand, a shattered heel, and still regenerate..."
Matthew shook his head inwardly.
Indeed,
those who grow to become top-tier divine beings often have impressive innate potential.
He continued flipping through.
What followed was a long and tedious account.
Ye Li wandered alone in the world of Aindor, growing increasingly powerful, yet she still encountered enemies she couldn't defeat.
But relying on her robust lineage,
she continued to survive.
Until the sudden appearance of a fortress.
Like other curious beings,
Ye Li stumbled into Camela Fortress.
But unlike the rest,
she successfully inherited the teachings of the Aether Society and mastered a powerful force called magic.
After leaving Camela Fortress,
Ye Li ascended.
Then came the most glorious golden age of her life!
In the early stages of the Age of Enlightenment.
The Goddess of Magic, Ye Li, was almost synonymous with omnipotence.
Her personal prestige also reached the peak among gods.
But what puzzled Matthew was,
about her own peak era...
