Global Advent: I Am Death

Chapter 156

Li Qi put down the hand that was supporting his chin, and sat upright.

An inexplicable memory flooded into his mind.

Priest Qiuer, the most famous priest in the Snake Kingdom, is the king's most powerful general.

"Let him in." Li Qi spoke, but a voice that did not belong to him came out.

Li Qi was taken aback. This language did not belong to any language he knew. It seems that this civilization has not been handed down somewhere.

After a while, a tall, thin man walked in.

Li Qi looked at the other party, the priest Qiu'er's attire was similar to his own, also only wearing a gray linen veil.

The slight difference is that the priest wears a necklace made of fragments of the bone mask around his neck.

virtual?
Li Qi's heart moved. It seemed that this was not an ordinary country.

Priest Qiu'er didn't come here alone. Behind him, a tall man with disheveled hair was tied up with a rope made of vines and escorted up.

The man's face was flushed, as if in great anger.

Priest Qiuer lightly touched the winding wooden stick in his hand, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, your son Ke, went to God's Fury Volcano again today, trying to smash our snake."

son?

Li Qi looked at the tall man curiously, and received another wave of memory in his heart.

The prince of the city-state, Kama, seems to be very dissatisfied with the king's actions.

A few years ago, the king ordered to gather all the ironware in the country, confiscate all the mines, and gather resources to build the giant snake statue.

Wang Zifu was very puzzled, as he had quarreled many times before.

What made Prince Kema angry was that this country was not in an era of peace.

The country is now in a precarious state.

The outside world is very dangerous, the ubiquitous virtual swarms are wreaking havoc on the land, the land of the country is decreasing day by day, and the living space has been plundered by the virtual.

But in this situation, the king not only did not rise up to resist, but began to mobilize the people to collect all the ironware from the people and gather them to the sacred mountain in the center of the kingdom to build purposeless statues!

"My king! Why did you do this!" Wang Zifu accused the king of his faults as always, and was very puzzled by the king's actions.

"My king, can't you see the wailing of your subjects?" Wang Zifu knelt down crying, his tall figure trembling like a child.

"The invisible monster is about to erode in front of our city. If we don't resist, all of us will have no hope of life!"

Li Qi looked at the crying 'son' at his feet, expressionless.

The crowd in the audience was silent as always. Some people spoke up before, but they were mercilessly demoted to prison by the king.

For everyone, facing Xu itself is a desperate thing.

In such a huge kingdom, only the soldiers led by Priest Qiu'er killed Guoxu head-on.

At this time, Priest Qiu'er lowered his head, his face was as calm as the king's.

"Is this the test of the giant snake?"

Li Qi looked at the sky that looked like a hole in the distance, the deep black couldn't even be illuminated by the sun.

This is a world on the brink of destruction.

So, why did the king insist on building the statue of the giant serpent?

Li Qi, who was transported across time and space by a giant snake in later generations, of course knew that the statue of the giant snake must have been completed.

Not only was the construction completed, it also became the last surviving presence of this civilization.

He thought for a while and got off his seat.

Wang Zifu stopped crying and stared straight at the king.

"You don't understand." Li Qi shook his head. Although he didn't have any idea yet, he still had to pretend.

"Come here, let the kettle go back, and reflect on it!"

After finishing speaking, he walked out of this not-so-luxurious palace without looking back.

The most urgent task is to collect existing clues first, Li Qi thought in his mind.

The task of the giant snake should not be to want Li Qi to lead this civilization out of its disillusioned ending.

If this is the case, then the difficulty is too great. You must know that this civilization sank into the abyss in the end.

If Li Qi had the strength to fight against the abyss, wouldn't he be able to subdue this mere orange secret treasure?

This must have exceeded the ability of the giant snake itself.

If Li Qi wanted to come, there was only another explanation.

The giant serpent became conscious after being eroded by the abyss countless years later.

Perhaps just as some philosophers think, it has produced doubts such as the three philosophical questions in its long life.

Now that the giant snake can bring Li Qi to this era, then who it is and where it came from should have the answer.

The question then is where will it go, or rather, what is the purpose of its existence?
Although I don't know whether the scene just now was the giant snake's intentional reminder or what, but it did give Li Qi some hints.

Even if the king is facing the risk of the country being broken and civilization disappearing, he still has to cast a huge metal statue. Why?
This country is indeed symbolized by the snake as a totem, but it has already passed the most ignorant age, and it is no longer the stage of drinking blood.

Although there are still priests, the duties of priests are more to maintain the stability of civilization.

Li Qi stood outside the palace, overlooking the city below.

If not for the scene just now and the anomaly in the distant sky, then this city still reveals a thriving atmosphere. Everyone is doing their work in an orderly manner. Not far away, there is an open-air arena. A burst of cheers was faintly coming.

After standing there for a while, Li Qi turned around and looked at Priest Qiu'er who had been standing by.

In fact, just now, he discovered that among this group of people, only Priest Qiu'er had spiritual pressure fluctuations.

"How is the situation on the front line?" After thinking for a while, Li Qi asked tentatively.

"Not too good." Priest Qiuer replied in a low voice: "The weapons prepared by the king have effectively armed everyone, but there are too many monsters on the opposite side. Many soldiers did not die in the hands of monsters, but escaped. was trampled to death by his companions."

"I'll trouble you about the front line." Li Qi said in a low voice. According to the memory he acquired just now, almost half of the credit for being able to resist the false tide should be attributed to this priest.

"If it's okay, then I'll go back." Priest Qiu'er seemed to be a serious person, and after saying goodbye in a low voice, he left in a hurry.

Li Qi pursed his lips, waved his hands and stopped talking.

He felt like he had caught something, but he was a little unsure.

The noisy sounds in the city came faintly, Li Qi looked at the arena not far away, and his heart moved.

Due to the shortage of iron materials, there were no moving tools in this city, so Li Qi walked to the arena barefoot.

This arena is obviously the one they explored before, and the seal that the metal giant snake turned into at the beginning sealed it.

It seems that this place should have a special meaning for the metal giant snake.
