All sorts of lines and runes crisscrossed, resembling a giant, intricate machine, emitting a faint light blue glow, and looking quite similar to the hall of the Guardian Defense Mechanism.
However, it's evident that in terms of the complexity and density of magic patterns, this place surpasses the Guardian Defense Mechanism by more than just one level, and even upon a glance, it possesses a unique aesthetic that soothes the mind, a visual experience Leo Ray had never had before.
"More advanced than the Miracle Building, considered the crystallization of supreme wisdom? It's truly unbelievable."
In his amazement, Leo Ray began to tentatively walk slowly around the room.
With the sound of light footsteps, after making a circle around the room, Leo Ray couldn't help but frown slightly.
These profound magic patterns far exceeded his understanding, unless hundreds of the most erudite magic masters of the Ten Thousand Clans were gathered to study them for hundreds or even thousands of years, perhaps only then could they glimpse a fraction of understanding; it was not something that could be achieved overnight.
So the question arises, what is the intention of the Deity in showing him this small room with an unknown purpose?
After all, the miraculous worlds seen before allowed him to clearly feel the sacred and exalted, to sense the mission he was shouldering, and to know that the answers must lie ahead, silently awaiting his arrival.
"Yet, while the magic patterns here are indeed captivating, that's all they are."
Leo Ray slightly pursed his lips, finally resting his gaze on the ancient stone chair at the center of the room, nodding thoughtfully.
"Speaking of which, this chair somewhat resembles the operating chairs in the Command Halls of Ice Stone City and Crystal Blue City, could it be that I am supposed to sit on it?"
With this thought in mind, Leo Ray proceeded towards the stone chair.
Upon reaching it, Leo Ray did not hesitate and promptly sat down.
He was in the midst of signing a contract with Xiao Jing, so there was no need to worry about this being some sort of trap.
The instant his body made contact with the stone chair, Leo Ray's eyes widened with amazement.
Once seated, the entire stone chair began to recline slowly and became soft, eventually forming an extremely comfortable viewing angle.
Simultaneously, the walls and ceiling of the room started to blur swiftly, turning ever more transparent until they vanished completely in the blink of an eye.
Without the obstruction of walls and a ceiling, an infinite cosmic vision unfolded before Leo Ray.
"Wow, so the outside of the room is actually the universe? It's like being inside a spaceship."
"No, perhaps this room itself is an alternative magical spaceship, or a magical facility akin to a space station."
Marveling at the awe-inspiring spectacle before him, Leo Ray couldn't help but exclaim.
For a moment, it was as if he was sitting amidst a star-spangled cosmos; the dazzling and breathtaking scene was even more visually impactful than the miraculous worlds before.
Amidst his astonishment, Leo Ray collected his thoughts and began to carefully observe this cosmic region.
Amid the star-studded black background, two extremely bright orange-red stars, one large and one small, first caught his eye, radiating an unending brilliance.
These two most prominent stars were located at the central area of this cosmos, with more than a dozen varying-sized planets orbiting slowly around them.
These planets exhibited different colors: tawny, deep blue, grayish-white, among others. Some had planetary rings; their rotational speeds and rates of revolution varied, leaving one dazzled.
"A dual star system, I feel like I've seen this scene somewhere before."
After a slight pause in thought, Leo Ray quickly realized.
When he first met Leah in the Land of Divine Favor's City of Light, he saw this very scene, though it was far more awe-inspiring and immersive this time than back then.
"Is this the star system where the otherworld is located again?"
Pondering, Leo Ray nodded, his gaze starting to hover among the planets,
and it didn't take long to find a deep blue planet with no rings but a surrounding atmosphere.
Around this deep blue planet were two grayish-white moons of roughly the same size, slowly orbiting it, signifying the world where Leo Ray currently resided.
"Exactly the same as what I saw in the City of Light."
Leo Ray widened his eyes, looking closely at this planet.
He clearly remembered that when he saw it in the City of Light, the whole planet was cloaked in a vague haze, with no clear view of any region or tectonic distribution.
After careful observation at that time, he further noted that it wasn't an effect of atmospheric obstruction but the entire planet was in some sort of illusory state.
Yet, as Leo Ray focused his gaze again this time, he saw the exact same scene—the entire planet appeared like a reflection in water, utterly indistinct and all blurry.
"What on earth is going on? In the City of Light, I thought this might just be a blurred model, or perhaps because of time being too ancient, not displayed clearly. I didn't expect this place to be just as blurry."
Leo Ray slightly furrowed his brows, his gaze wandering over other surrounding planets.
Except for the two suns and moons, all other planets were perfectly clear, only his own world presented such an astonishing scene.
"Thus, it's apparent that this is not a mere coincidence; indeed, something is peculiar about the world I inhabit."
Leo Ray's brows furrowed tighter, sighing inwardly in thought.
"But why this blurriness? Could it be some sort of massive Absolute Defense Barrier? Is a Deity quietly shielding this planet?"
"Or has some unknown chaotic phenomenon occurred on this planet? Could it be related to the Era of Blankness?"
"Or perhaps, all these assumptions are inaccurate, even entirely contrary to the truth."
Sitting on the stone chair, Leo Ray was thinking thus, leaning his body forward with unblinking eyes, trying to discern something, but ultimately found nothing.
Anyway, even being in this miraculous magic space station, simply relying on vision could never uncover the root cause.
"Regardless, based on the sight I've just witnessed, it can be confirmed that this otherworld is indeed extraordinarily peculiar."
"I think I understand the intention behind showing me this scene; if I learn the truth of the world, everything will naturally unravel. It seems this vision is also encouraging me to continue onward."
As Leo Ray considered this, a sudden burst of golden light shot before his eyes.
Once he regained his senses, Leo Ray found himself standing in front of Xiao Jing, surrounded by endless shimmering gold.
Xiao Jing's delicate and fair features were solemn, her starry eyes looking over firmly; despite her Dark Elf appearance being completely different from Little Jie, that aura of solemnity was identical.
Staring straight into her starry eyes, Leo Ray could distinctly feel a wondrous resonance had formed between them, and he sensed her performing a vow.
"...The collapsing earth, the weeping people, irreparable fissures, all that once was now fleeting as shadows, orisons to revive the land, fractured mirrors irreparable, courage undying, myriad laws interwoven, all things revived... forged thee and me in sacred contract, bestow my strength upon thee, aid thy pursuit of truth, truth everlasting!"
Once Xiao Jing solemnly and firmly recited the vow, a new divine revelation closely followed, surging into Leo Ray's mind like crashing waves.
