As a villain, I really can't become stronger anymore

In the past eight thousand years, only a few people have been able to escape safely from the Soul Burial Forest.

It was from the mouths of these few survivors that the mystery of the Soul Burial Forest was finally unveiled a little.

It is said that the Soul Burial Forest is filled with evil spirits. They are the souls of those who once entered the Soul Burial Forest and died there. Even though they are dead, their souls are still unable to escape from the Soul Burial Forest. This is their eternal destination.

It is said that in the Forest of Buried Souls, the ground is covered with a thick layer of bones, which are the result of corpses piling up over the past eight thousand years.

All kinds of rumors have not only failed to unravel the mystery of the Soul Burial Forest, but have made it even more terrifying, making people more eager to spy on its true appearance.

What people in the outside world don’t know is that, whether it is the evil spirits wandering around or the piles of bones on the ground, they are just the most inconspicuous scenery in the Soul Burial Forest. No one knows that in the deepest part of the Soul Burial Forest there is a huge mausoleum.

In the entire Dusk Continent, perhaps only one person knows the true secret of the Soul Burial Forest, and that is... Philomena.

The Soul Burial Forest is the secluded place of the Andre family, the heirs of the Guardian of Destiny and a powerful hidden clan.

In the Dusk Continent, the Andre family was once very famous.

Everyone knows that Saint Partridge is a member of the Andre family.

But only a very few people understand that Saint Patrick is just a son-in-law of the Andre family.

This family can be said to be the most mysterious family in the Dusk Continent. It is impossible to guess what kind of background it has. Even many members of the Andre family do not understand how powerful their family is.

They only know how to be very strong.

Perhaps, only those truly core members know how terrifying their family is. They can't even find the right words to describe it. Perhaps, they can only describe it as terrifying.

Within the family, there are ancestors who have survived for thousands of years, some of whom have even survived from the fall of the Twilight Dynasty to the present.

The wealth accumulated over tens of thousands of years.

A secret technique that could drive outsiders crazy just by looking at it.

The equipment and weapons that can only be piled up at the outermost part of the treasury, but taken out are enough to cause a bloody storm on the Dusk Continent.

Most importantly, there is the gift of being able to often hear oracles and the ability to communicate with gods.

All of this makes the Andre family seem so transcendent.

The huge mausoleum is located among the mountains. It is built in a simple and ancient style, yet it also exudes grandeur and majesty.

If you simply look at the tomb from the outside, you might just think of it as an ancient tomb that is quite old. You might even have the urge to rob the tomb, wanting to see how many treasures are hidden in this tomb.

Once such thoughts appear in your mind, then congratulations, you are not far from death.

At the entrance of the mausoleum, countless mechanisms and traps will make you truly realize the dangers of the world.

Not to mention ordinary invaders and tomb robbers, even members of the Andre family had to be extremely cautious when entering and leaving the mausoleum, for fear that they might accidentally trigger some mechanism and lose their lives.

If you have the opportunity to pass through the layers of restrictions at the entrance of the mausoleum and really enter the interior of the mausoleum, then you will have the opportunity to see what a true miracle is.

The inside of the mausoleum is a completely self-contained space.

The entrance to the mausoleum is just a passage to enter this space.

The interior of the mausoleum is constructed like a small city, with all kinds of buildings that are not too tall but absolutely luxurious. It is densely packed at a glance, with thousands of buildings of various kinds, especially the tower that reaches the sky at the deepest part, which is so refreshing that one can't help but want to worship it.

The nearly one thousand meter high Tower of Babel stands in this space like a mountain towering into the clouds. The outer walls of the Tower of Babel are covered with all kinds of mysterious runes, which are interconnected to form huge magic circles. It is these magic circles that support the one thousand meter high Tower of Babel and prevent it from collapsing.

And this Tower of Babel is the place where the ancestors of Andre's family used to communicate with gods.

Of course, gods are not cabbages after all. You can't communicate with them just because you want to.

Although the Andre family is said to have the ability to communicate with gods, this so-called communication is actually one-sided. The Andre family does not have the ability to actively contact gods, they can only passively accept the oracles that descend from the upper realm.

But it is obvious that telling this truth may be a little bit indecent, and it is not enough to show the Andre family's status, so the Andre family has always used such an ambiguous term as communicating with gods.

Moreover, even if it is just to listen to the oracle, this opportunity is not available every moment.

There are absolutely no rules when the oracle comes.

Sometimes, several oracles would appear in just one year.

Sometimes, for hundreds of years, the Tower of Babel would be silent, causing the Andre family to wonder if they had lost the favor of the gods.

And now, it is obviously the active period of the oracle.

The thousand-meter-high Tower of Babel has faintly turned into a bright pillar of light. The colorful light covers the tower, making it shine brightly.

There seemed to be Buddhist chanting in the sky.

An indescribable mixture of holiness, grandeur, and dignity weighed on the hearts of every member of the Andre family in the mausoleum.

All around the Tower of Babel, within a radius of a hundred meters, there were densely packed figures kneeling on the ground devoutly, praying devoutly in their hearts. At a glance, there were at least eight thousand of them, if not ten thousand.

These are all members of the Andre family.

As the first family of the Dusk Continent, a behemoth with a history of 8,000 years, the power of this family has reached an unimaginable level. Outside, those so-called rare legendary masters are everywhere here, and are not worth mentioning at all. There are even many who surpass the limits of the practitioners of the Dusk Continent.

The power of the Andre family can easily destroy any country on the Dusk Continent and any race except the dragon race. This is definitely not a joke, they really have such strength.

The kneeling posture has lasted for a long time.

Even though these people are quite strong, they can't help but feel some soreness in their knees.

Obviously, they are rare and powerful people. If they were in any other country, they would be treated as guests of honor by the king, but here they can only kneel on the ground.

When the oracle descended, they could only use this method to express their respect and loyalty to the gods. Every time an oracle descended, it was a rare opportunity for members of the Andre family. If they could be noticed by the gods at this time and gain their favor, any random gift from them could become an opportunity for them to soar to the sky, and their status and power in the family would rise steadily.

That's right, not only were these people not dissatisfied at all, but the expressions on their faces even showed some excitement and madness.

Even though they were very powerful and had a high status, they behaved in an extremely humble manner. Some of them even pressed their heads tightly to the ground, pressed their waists down hard, and lifted their hips as much as possible, making a somewhat funny but extremely flattering and submissive posture.
