When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 1121: Chapter 449 “The Snake” Deceived Us!

Under Sine’s precise operation, the “elevator” was activated once again—an apparatus akin to the Holy Nation’s ascension platforms. Considering the sequence of events, perhaps the Holy Nation’s platforms were modeled after the Tower of Heaven.

The first few layers posed no danger, just as Aiwass had observed. The Tower of Heaven had already been reduced to an empty void.

The mechanisms on the fourth layer held some value, but carrying them while ascending further would only be cumbersome. Thus, when passing through the fourth layer, they chose not to pause and continued upward.

“…Such isolated spaces layered one atop another, a towering vertical structure, and transparent ascension platforms independent of any foundation—everything here feels strangely familiar.”

Aiwass remarked wryly.

Behind him, Cardinal Galatea responded calmly, “That’s not surprising. Civilizations of the milk-bearers are indeed later than those of the Winged Ones and the scale bearers. In the nascent stages of civilization, emulating predecessors is quite natural—much like humans mimicking the elves.”

“Milk-bearers…”

Aiwass repeated Cardinal Galatea’s term for the elves.

…It must be said, the average size of elves was indeed substantial.

He couldn’t help but tug at Cardinal Galatea beside him and asked, “Are elves the earliest milk-bearers?”

“Correct. To nourish others with their own milk—this is the very essence of the Illumination Art,”

Cardinal Galatea countered, “You should remember that when young priests first learn Illumination Art, their bodies exude a faint milky scent, correct? That’s a remnant of the Illumination Art before it evolved into a professional skill. The priestly profession finds its roots in the milk-bearers, just as mages stem from the Winged Ones and pharmacists originate from the scale bearers.”
