Being too ferocious because of caution

Chapter 854 Key Clues

The three of them were led into an underground tomb by the faint fluorescent light. The construction here was very rough, completely different from the exquisiteness outside.

In the center of the tomb is an upright high platform, about three meters high, made of bluestone, with traces scattered around it and covered with dust.

On the bluestone platform, there is a bronze head.

After wandering around the three people for a while, these fluorescent lights all poured into the eyes of the bronze head. In less than a moment, the dark eyes of the bronze head were burning with a light blue flame.

"You, you, you...are you Emperor Dongyue?"

Ji Chen felt a hint of terror coming from the head, and he knelt on the ground at that time!

This breath was so terrifying that it not only suppressed all the power of him and his sister, but also instantly penetrated all the cause and effect on the two of them.

Ji Chen clearly felt that everything he had experienced from the moment he was born to now, including his thoughts, was all visible to the other party!

This feeling was extremely terrifying. Both Ji Chen and his sister were lying on the ground, trembling, completely unable to resist!

"It seems that this is indeed a game designed by him..."

"How many years?"

Zhao Yi stepped forward and stood in front of Emperor Dongyue, with a cigarette in his mouth.

Dongyue replied:

"I can't remember clearly..."

"After the battle on the ancient battlefield, I rested here and have been waiting for you."

Zhao Yi looked around:

"Where are the rest of your body?"

Dongyue:

"Damaged in the battle and left to rot in the tomb."

"I dismantled them, melted them with my divine power, and used them all to preserve the head you see now."

Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows and said:

"Are you going to die?"

Dongyue:

"The injury is serious. He has been here for too long and has reached his limit."

"But this time, fortunately, you also brought two good juniors. After clarifying your doubts for a while, I can spread some of the divine passage techniques, and the inheritance of the underworld is not broken."

Zhao Yi slowly exhaled a puff of smoke:

"So the battle on the ancient battlefield...is really a predetermined script?"

Dongyue:

"It should be said that most of what you are experiencing now were arranged in advance."

"Of course, the same goes for the battle on the ancient battlefield."

Zhao Yi:

"What was that fight about?"

Dongyue:

"We are only responsible for executing orders and will not ask about other matters."

"But back then, before you left, you revealed to me that the battle on the ancient battlefield was planned to protect the key to the star door."

Zhao Yi frowned.

"Where's the key?"

Dongyue:

"No one knows."

"If you ask me that question, I can't give you any answer."

"Before you left, you said that after the battle on the ancient battlefield, it would be impossible for those people from the Skull Church who are good at plundering to find the key..."

"But the key was always there."

Zhao Yi stood there in silence for a while, and suddenly felt something.

"The key was always there...and the Church could never find it..."

Dongyue:

"I know that you must be troubled by many secrets to get to where you are now."

"When you cross the Sea of ​​Chaos, cross the Star Gate, and get back what belongs to you, many puzzles will naturally be solved..."

Zhao Yi walked around the room, the cigarette in his mouth slowly letting down ashes from time to time.

"Are the gods really that scary?"

"Can't even stop him?"

Dongyue was silent for a long time, as if he couldn't answer this question.

"Before the battle on the ancient battlefield, I also had contact with the realm of the gods."

"Honestly, the gods of the last era are not as scary as adults imagine."

"Whatever dies is completely dead and cannot come back again."

"The real terror is not the gods."

"Have you seen that mural outside, sir?"

Zhao nodded:

"Have seen it."

"Then do you know who painted this mural?"

"I don't know."

"That mural was painted by you yourself, my lord."

Zhao Yi was startled.

"Did I draw it?"

Dongyue:

"The banquet of the gods, eating the flesh of all spirits, drinking the blood of all spirits, consuming the souls of all spirits..."

"In the eyes of most living beings, this is terrifying enough."

"Your Excellency, you may think that this is what the Era of Chaos is all about. Those gods who reveled wantonly at the banquet are your enemies and the reason for the existence of the underworld..."

"But it's not."

"The gods are not the problem."

"The root of the problem is hidden behind that picture."

"You will know when you open the star door and restore your memory."

After Dongyue finished speaking, the divine fire in his eyes suddenly lit up.

The ground shook slightly.

A glowing token appeared in the air and slowly flew to Zhao Yi's eyes.

"I am one of the chess pieces you left behind. I know very little. The answer to the puzzle needs to be explored by yourself. Time is running out at this moment, so I will give you permission to cross the Sea of ​​Chaos."

"This token permission can only be used by two people to cross the Sea of ​​Chaos. Please keep it safe, sir."

Zhao Yi accepted the token and listened to Dongyue's explanation:

"...The people in the underworld each perform their own duties. Some of them were 'bought' by the church according to the arrangements of the Lord, while the other part are still loyal to the Lord and fight against the church."

"For more than 10,000 years, the two parties have maintained a delicate and fragile balance."

"Now that the adults have gone deep into the situation and have arrived here, our mission has been successfully completed."

"After my death, all the statues that you created will be buried in my honour. After that, the underworld will be completely taken over by the endless aborigines..."

"The road ahead is long, please forgive me... take the first step."

After saying this, the divine fire in Dongyue's eyes suddenly emitted light, turning into black and white balls and sinking into the eyebrows of Ji Chen and Ji Pa.

"The development of the Underworld for tens of thousands of years has its own inheritance. The future is unpredictable. We are not as divine as you, so we will leave the inheritance for now. If there is a good opportunity, the Underworld can also carry forward the future and live up to what you did back then. A lot of hard work..."

Dongyue's voice echoed in the ears of the three people, and then slowly disappeared.

In the void, the powerful restraining force completely disappeared, and the strength of the three people was no longer suppressed.

Ji Chen Ji Pa tried hard to restrain her body from weakening, stood up slowly, and looked at Zhao Yi with shock and fear in her eyes.

Being able to be addressed by the master of the underworld, Emperor Dongyue, as ‘you’ and ‘my lord’, what is the origin of this man in front of him...?

"Did you suddenly realize that the water is much deeper than you thought?"

Zhao Yi lit another cigarette and said to the two of them with a smile.

Ji Chen's mouth was filled with bitterness:

"If I knew the water was so deep, no matter what, I would never take my sister to participate..."

"Master Zhao, who are you?"

Zhao Yiping said:

"I am the underworld...the true founder."

boom!

As Zhao Yi finished speaking, it was as if a bomb had exploded in their minds. The horrific impact and shock made the two of them stand motionless and speechless!

After a long time, Ji Chen said in a trembling voice:

"You mean..."

"You are the one on the throne of eternal death..."

Zhao Yi smiled and said:

"You can understand that."

"At the other end of the Chaos Sea, behind the Star Gate, is the power that originally belonged to me."

"Now...I'm going to get it back."
