Chapter 770 The Shadow of the Long Skirt
The sculpture, symbolizing the deity and embodying the love and faith of believers and their families, had its head smashed, signifying the demise of the belief system.

Before this land sank, Vovadas had a community of believers in this area.

However, for some reason, the race was wiped out, and the corresponding faith was also lost to the annals of history.

But isn't he the son of Nordens?
The faith of the leader of the gods in the Dream Realm was severed from his own child. Who dared to commit such a grave crime? And who had the ability to commit such a grave crime?

...

As they ventured deeper into the ruins, some ancient and fragmented clues soon revealed the truth.

The people who once lived on this land and worshipped the Watchers were the snake people.

Fossils of the serpent-man's spine can be seen in some broken coffins that have become integrated with the underground rock strata.

but……

"Wasn't it said to be Satoguia?"

Milo was a little confused.

In the story told from the undead perspective of the Serpent People, the reason why the Serpent People on the continent of Mu and Lemuria incurred the wrath of the Father of the Serpents was because they worshipped a powerful Old One called Satogua.

But the ruins show that the vanished serpent-people civilization clearly served Vovados...

...

I will annihilate your people, shatter the statues of your beloved gods, and let the seas engulf this entire continent.

Clearly snake-man-like behavior.

Is it possible that Satogua never existed in the history of Mu and Lemuria, and that he was merely "borrowed" to replace the role that Vovados played in this history?

The meaning of smashing the sculpture's head is very clear: it's about not wanting anyone to recognize the sculpture's owner anymore.

Therefore, in order to bury this truth, it makes perfect sense to simply attach the name of an Old One with little connection to the mortal world...

Moreover, as the one responsible for casting the curse of degeneration, the serpent himself had never seen Zatogia in this land.

...

"It's as if we've stumbled upon some enormous secret."

Milo smashed a stone coffin and saw the snake-man's remains inside, muttering to himself:
"Vovadas was the real reason they sank this continent."

What an audacious Igor!

From this perspective, the claim that the Father of the Serpents was enraged because the local serpent people worshipped other gods seems rather absurd.

He is the father of all serpents. Why should he go against the leader of the gods of dreams over such a trivial matter?
How could He, who has lived for countless years, not understand something that is so disproportionate to the risk and reward?
...

There must be deeper reasons and entanglements behind this.

such as…

For example, Ignatius's wavering stance in the Star Wars.

His two wives, Idhra and Koyatrikue, belonged to the camp of external gods and the camp of dream gods, respectively.

Let's look at what role Vovadas played after the war ended.
The guardians of outer space are watching over the external deities who have retreated behind the stars.

So, can the events that occurred on the continent of Mu and Lemuria be interpreted as malicious slander against the Watchers from behind, thus proving that Ig, the father of the serpents, yearns more for the Outer Gods?
This can also be corroborated by the undead perspective of the Serpent Man.

That is, compared to the eldest prince, Voti, Ig actually preferred the younger prince, Hughes, born to his Outer God wife, Idhra.

...

As for Idhaila, perhaps He is the root cause of all of Ig's madness.

As the Scarlet Witch revealed, the goddess disappeared after the cataclysm that affected the stars ended.

The Watchers are the first line of defense between the Dreamlands and the Stars, and it goes without saying what Igor is thinking.

...

In short, His actions may or may not have attracted Nordens's attention, but in any case, the continent of Mu and Lemuria sank into the sea and became a thing of the past.

……

"That's right."

Milo was convinced that he had successfully sorted out the cause and effect of the story.

As expected, the feuds and entanglements between gods are ultimately paid for by their believers and their families.

Looking back now, doesn't Vovardows have a touch of tragic heroism about him?
He was both a rare and top-tier combatant among the Dream Gods during the Star Wars, and after the war ended, he left the Dream Realm. While other gods began to build their own temples, he was ordered to guard the outermost layer of the Dream Realm universe, watching over it day after day.

In the end, instead of the external deities returning, they were stabbed in the back by their own allies in the Dream Realm.

Even so, He endured it.

But one day, Vovadaus suddenly discovered that he could no longer sense the presence of the gods.

So they returned to the Dreamland to find out what was going on.

But they discovered that the Four Horsemen of Favor had been waiting for them for a long time.

With little faith left to sustain him, Vovados thus lost his life in a daze. "What a wretched son of the leader of the gods."

Looking at it this way, Vovardows' life was indeed full of frustration.

Especially the line, "Hehe, I must live on."

...

……

The group ventured further into the land, but still could not see the sea on the other side. All they could see were towering mountains covered with traces of the ocean.

"Whether it's the Mu continent or Lemuria, they are both bridge plates connecting the western and southern continents. I think that further ahead there will only be land, until we reach the southern islands, or even directly to the southern continent."

This is the consensus among the nautical cats.

And so, this journey came to a close with a comma.

The cats' mission was to lead Milo and his companions across the South Wind Sea, but now that their sea route has been blocked by the suddenly rising land, they have essentially completed their mission ahead of schedule.

Compared to Milo, Usa, which has just been rebuilt, actually needs the strength of these cats more.

Milo didn't try to persuade him to stay.

So the team changed from a large cat squad to a small four-person squad.

Although the cats had left them essential tools such as blueprints and compasses, on a brand-new map that had just emerged from the sea, all external tools were of little use. No one knew what they might encounter on the way. Except for the occasional large trench or giant lake that required them to detour, they mostly headed straight south.

Traveling across the vast continent with seafood was a first for Milo and his companions.

...

However, it is impossible that such a large continent would rise inexplicably above sea level without anyone knowing.

At this moment, standing alongside Milo and his companions on this land covered in seashells and coral reefs, were people from the Southern Islands world…

The sudden rise of the seabed caused seawater to overflow the existing dikes, swallowing the lives of many innocent people.

This is a major catastrophe, and only the beginning. In the beliefs of the southern islands, the reappearance of a world that has been destroyed is a sign of calamity and the return of evil to the world.

……

The southern world is also home to different races, settlements, and the temples they serve.

Historically, the vast majority of records of divine manifestations occurred during major disasters. Saving believers from fire and water has always been the most common means of plundering faith, regardless of whether the fire and water were natural disasters or not, as long as the salvation was achieved.

It's important to understand that the Dream Realm is a world constructed from countless powerful subjective thoughts. Only rational people are allowed to enter, so there are no natural disasters here; they are all man-made calamities.

The tsunami caused by rising land level is both a calamity and a blessing for the temples in the Southern Territory.

However, the first to catch up with Milo and his party on this land that had never been exposed to the sun for millions of years was not the priests of the Southern Temple, but a shadow with long skirts that never touched the ground.

It drifted past the sea area where "Hee-Hee Castle" appeared, lingered on the barren sea surface for a long time, and now the ruins that were located on the swamp have disappeared without a trace.

Then, the shadow of the long dress drifted onto land again, arriving at the ancient ruins of the snake people that Milo and the others had passed by not long ago.

She lingered beside one of the Vauvaldos sculptures in her long dress for several days.

Only on nights when the sea breeze isn't too noisy can you hear the sobbing of a woman echoing within the ancient ruins.

...

Although the voice was extremely faint, as if it didn't exist at all, the grief and longing it contained seemed to weigh much heavier than the entire land.

Even in his sleep at night, Milo was overwhelmed by a sadness whose source he couldn't quite pinpoint.

He woke up and pulled Freya off him, only then realizing that the one who had been pressing down on him and making it hard for him to breathe was not Freya.

After walking a few steps outside the makeshift, crude camp, I found Yan, who was on night watch, already drooling over the empty shell of a snail-like creature.

Not far away, Xiao Yan was squatting by a puddle, burning the nocturnal reptiles whose names he didn't know with the rays released from his pupils.

She was just burning it for fun, but she was also burning it with unusual seriousness. With all the crackling and popping, she didn't even notice the wisp of white dress floating ten meters in front of her.

Milo made up his mind that from now on, he would never let the couple take turns keeping watch on the road; he and Freya would have to take turns.

That's so damn unreliable.

...

Xiao Yan noticed that Milo woke up in the middle of the night, looked up at him twice, and then lowered his head to continue abusing the small animals.

Milo sighed.

Hearing the sound, Xiao Yan looked up at Milo again, blinked twice in a daze, and finally tried to follow Milo's gaze to the other side.

This time, I could finally see clearly the strange long dress floating not far away.

She jumped to her feet, her eyes shooting out even more intense rays as she lunged at the long dress, her appearance and reaction just like a wildcat with its fur standing on end.

Fortunately, Milo had taken precautions and arrived in front of her a second before she pounced on her, pressing her back to the ground with one hand.

"Don't rush, don't rush."
