How many years have truly passed since the Mythological Era? Time has long eroded most of its memories. After countless great destructions, humanity no longer remembers the stories from that distant age.
It was an era unimaginably ancient and equally dreamlike.
In that era…
There existed the legends of future generations and also, the countless myths that would one day be told. However, the mythos of the Saint Warriors was different from ordinary mythological derivative worlds.
Here, it was not simply the Greek mythological system.
Instead, it was built upon and reinforced within the Greek mythological framework.
Various mythologies were told across the world in real life, the Sumerian civilization, Chinese civilization, Ancient Egypt, Ancient India, and others also had mythological figures appearing.
What can be confirmed first is that the Saint Warrior worldview is polytheistic, in other words, it doesn't only include Greek gods, but also Norse gods, Indian deities, Christian divinity, Chinese gods, and more. Each pantheon has followers who form their own warrior organizations.
The gods' wills, released during the Big Bang, collided with fragments of the cosmos, giving birth to the twinkling stars in the sky and shaping the universe we know. And the Big Bang that created the universe… it has some unknown connection to the Chronos of Time and Space. The exact cause and effect remain a mystery.
Among the many planets infused with the will of the gods, one, our Earth, first formed land, then sky, oceans, and finally life. All life was born and evolved under the will of the gods, eventually developing into humans, and thus the human world was born. This is the mythological background of the Saint Warrior universe.
At this moment, Jiang Chen had crossed an unknowable span of time to arrive here.
The towering Sacred Mountain within Sanctuary was now even more majestic than in the future. Atop it stood the grand and awe-inspiring Temple of Athena, radiating infinite divinity.
Soft light spread across the Sanctuary, gently radiating its sacred power.
Inside a room—
Jiang Chen ultimately chose not to go meet Athena. For that exalted goddess of wisdom, future goddess of war, Jiang Chen still felt some apprehension. The Saint Warrior world undeniably had great value to him.
Jiang Chen didn't want a single misstep to cost him the chance to log in to this world again.
By comparison, he might as well just stay put in Sanctuary.
Especially now, in this Mythological Era. Jiang Chen quickly realized the tremendous benefits of being in this age. Here, his Cosmo was growing at a speed far beyond what it did in the future.
In the future timeline, it took over three years for Jiang Chen to fully step into the Sixth Sense. But here, his Cosmo's growth rate was so fast that he might not even need a month to reach the Sixth Sense in the same time frame.
Even now, having already entered the Sixth Sense, his training speed in Sanctuary meant that, in just three years, he might reach the peak of the Sixth Sense or even directly break through to the Seventh Sense.
Even setting aside everything else, the training speed alone brought him enormous advantages. Naturally, he had no reason to take unnecessary risks.
Holy aura spread across the Sanctuary.
In the time that followed, Jiang Chen began to gradually familiarize himself with this Sanctuary of the Mythological Era ,and he also began to accept his identity in this time:
—Asclepius.
Though he lacked actual healing abilities, with the power of time, he could essentially fulfill most healing needs. After all, although this era wasn't the Golden Age, it was at least close to the Silver Age.
Human physique was incredibly strong and every person had already grasped Cosmo, and the majority had even reached the Seventh Sense.
Diseases were almost nonexistent. The only injuries came from divine wars. After all, in this Mythological Era, the gods clashed endlessly, and divine wars erupted almost constantly.
It was especially true for Athena's Sanctuary, which wasn't even considered a top-tier force among the pantheons, meaning that outbreaks of war happened even more frequently.
Under such circumstances, the Saint Warriors within Sanctuary were injured quite often. However, such wounds were easily healed with Jiang Chen's power of time.
"Buzz~!"
The power of time enveloped the area. Silver-gray energy intertwined with each other, and before his eyes, the body of a blond-haired man rapidly restored at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"All done! That should be about right. Just rest for a few days and you'll be fine." Jiang Chen spoke gently with a warm smile on his face.
"Thank you so much!! Asclepius, you're incredible!" The blond-haired man stood up, feeling his injuries completely disappear. Shock filled his eyes, and his figure quickly bowed deeply.
"No need to thank me. It's simply what I should do," Jiang Chen replied with a warm smile. He then waved his hand and walked out of the room. As he walked through the Sanctuary, people naturally stepped aside to make way. Quite a few Saint Warriors even bowed to him slightly.
By now, it had been about a year since Jiang Chen first arrived here. Over this year, Jiang Chen had been training while also treating the people of Sanctuary. As he healed more and more people, his reputation grew immensely.
From trainee Saints to reserve Saints, and even full-fledged Saints, they all came to know his name, and they treated him with increasing respect. But to Jiang Chen, what mattered even more was the growth of his Cosmo.
Being in the Mythological Era, his Cosmo developed much faster than he'd originally imagined. Initially, he had thought that it would take him two years to reach the peak of the Sixth Sense.
But now, in just one year, his Cosmo was already close to that level. At this pace, he wouldn't need three years at all, two years would be enough for him to reach the peak the Sixth Sense.
And within three years, the chances of breaking through to the Seventh Sense were high.
After all, Jiang Chen had already learned that in this era, there wasn't much of a bottleneck between the Sixth and Seventh Senses. As long as you reached the peak of the Sixth Sense, gaining the Seventh Sense was almost natural.
The only factor was time.
It was unlike the future, where breaking into the Seventh Sense required not just reaching the peak of the Sixth, but also outstanding talent.
As his thoughts flowed, Jiang Chen continued walking through the Sanctuary when—
"Asclepius!" A breathless voice suddenly called out to him and Jiang Chen instinctively stopped in his tracks.
He looked toward the source of the voice and a very familiar figure appeared in his sight.
"Melchaba!" Jiang Chen stopped as he spoke, a bit surprised as he looked at the approaching figure.
Melchaba arrived, slightly out of breath, and stopped in front of him.
"Asclepius, I finally found you! Come with me, quickly!" Melchaba said excitedly, grabbing Jiang Chen by the arm.
"What's going on?" Seeing him so flustered again, Jiang Chen asked with a bit of confusion.
"Asclepius, hehe! Didn't I tell you before? I asked my father to forge a Sacred Cloth for you, and it's almost done now! You've got to come try it out!"
Melchaba explained while pulling Jiang Chen along.
"A... Sacred Cloth?" Jiang Chen blinked in surprise.
"Yeah! A Sacred Cloth! As a warrior of Athena, how can you not have one? Hurry, or we'll be out of time! My father said that at the exact moment the Cloth is completed, your Cosmo needs to resonate with it." Melchaba nodded firmly.
As they talked, the two of them soon arrived at a location on the eastern side of Sanctuary.
