In the following short journey, the two teams continuously encountered all kinds of attacks. Their opponents included demons from the Abyss and Undead creatures that emitted a putrid smell. There was even a small group of Death Knights that charged at them. Besides, the demons and Undead creatures were not as weak as before, and there were many of them in the Legendary-level.
However, the strength of the two teams was not comparable to that of ordinary adventurer teams. Be it the team of the Gilded Kingdom or the team of the Tower of Dusk, they were all top-notch teams in Anril, and few forces could produce such a powerful team. The Sanctuary powerhouses of the two teams did not have to do anything at all, and the Legendary powerhouses in the team were enough to quickly clear the obstacles.
However, at this moment, Lin Li secretly muttered in his heart because the appearance of the enemies and the bright palace made him feel rather awkward. The Illuminati believed in the will of light of the ancient god Zagar, who was also the so-called God-king of Light. Although this light was different from the Holy Light of the Brilliance Shrine, and did not have such pure purifying power, it did not seem to have much to do with demons and Undead creatures. However, why were there demons and Undead creatures in the palace built by the Illuminati to worship the God-king of Light?
Besides, Lin Li also deliberately observed the Gilded Kingdom's team, only to find that Saint Edmund did not seem surprised or angry at the existence of the demons and Undead creatures at all. It was as if he had long expected it. On the other hand, the rest of the Gilded Kingdom's team were continuously killing the enemies that were blocking their way while chanting the prayers of the Illuminati, as if they felt that the place had been tainted.
In this palace, the seemingly endless demons and Undead creatures were not the only things that were blocking the advancement of the two teams. There were also plenty of terrifying magic traps hidden under the golden splendor. Those magic traps were like shadows under the sun, hidden insidiously in the palace that was full of light, and could devour those who fell into the traps at any time.
The magic traps were naturally handled by Angelano of the Tower of Dusk. Although the goblin Angelano was good at the technique of Alchemy Colossuses, he was definitely a master of magic traps and gears. It could be said that there were no magic traps or gears in Anril that Angelano could not crack.
Of course, given Angelano's timid personality, he would rather die than dispel a magic trap alone. Hence, Norfeller, who had just stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, temporarily became Angelano's bodyguard, and accompanied him everywhere to break the deadly traps. In Angelano's words, Norfeller's speed was fast enough, and he would be able to escape immediately even if he were to encounter any danger.
Although Angelano was timid, he was definitely hot-tempered. Whenever he was cracking magic traps, he would always mock the person who set them up. Although the person who set up the magic trap would basically not be able to hear his mockery, he could still derive great satisfaction and a sense of superiority from it.
However, Angelano behaved differently today. After breaking some magic traps, he returned to Lin Li, and praised him for the first time. "Felic, you're really lucky to have brought me here this time. The people who set up these magic traps are definitely of a high standard. Even I have to think about it a little. Nothing can escape from these magic traps. Fortunately, we're going in from the outside. Otherwise, we would have to put in a lot of effort. "
While praising the person who set up the magic traps, Angelano naturally boasted about how impressive he was. On one hand, he wanted to show how skilled he was, and on the other hand, he wanted to ask for benefits from Lin Li afterward. Angelano and Lin Li were not bound by any Soul Contract. Hence, he would not be doing anything for free.
"Is that so?" Lin Li immediately filtered out Angelano's boastful words, because he had heard too much of that kind of stuff. After giving a few perfunctory remarks, he got the team to continue moving forward. When they encountered new magic traps, he would let Norfeller and the goblins deal with them.
However, Lin Li couldn't help but mutter to himself about the purpose of the magic traps that Angelano mentioned. According to Angelano, the magic traps in the palace did not seem to be used to stop outsiders from entering. At least, that was not the main purpose. However, that was a bit against common sense.
Generally speaking, regardless of the ruins or mausoleums, or even some important places, the most important purpose of setting up magic traps was to prevent outsiders from entering. However, the magic traps in this palace seemed to be easy to go in from the outside, but difficult to go in from the inside. Didn't that mean that these magic traps were used to trap something? If that was the case, then wouldn't this incomparably luxurious palace become a luxurious prison?
Lin Li found it unbelievable. Wasn't this palace built by the Illuminati to worship the God-king of Light? Why would they set up such magic traps inside? Could it be that the people of the Illuminati imprisoned some powerful existence here? Or did they simply imprison the God-king of Light?
Although Lin Li had those doubts, he only thought about it in his heart, and did not intend to seek confirmation from Edmund. After all, that speculation was just like scolding the Illuminati. Which religion would do such a treacherous thing!?
Saint Edmund had a blueprint of the palace that had been left behind in the past. Hence, under his lead, the two teams did not have to take any extra steps in this huge palace, apart from spending some time clearing the various obstacles. After walking for about half a day, the two teams had already arrived at the center of the palace.
There was no luxurious hall in the center of the palace, but a crypt similar to the one they had entered when they entered the underground world previously. Of course, it was not appropriate to call it a crypt, because the surroundings were also very luxurious, and it looked like a huge deep well. On the side, there was a wide staircase that spiraled down into the depths of the crypt.
Seeing this scene, Lin Li was even more puzzled. Isn't the god that the Illuminati worships in the depths of the palace? Could it be that the depths of the palace refer to the depths of this huge crypt? That's too absurd. Which religion would worship their god in the depths of the underground?
The two teams walked along the spiral staircase at the edge of the crypt, and it took them a long time to reach the bottom. At this moment, what appeared in front of them was another world that seemed to be even vaster than the one above. They couldn't see the borders, and they couldn't see the top even if they looked up. It was also filled with light, and it did not look like the underground world at all.
In the distance in front of the team, they could vaguely see an incomparably large shadow that looked like a mountain range. At this moment, the people of the Gilded Kingdom, including High Priest Poer and Elder Zumar, were all dumbfounded for a while, and they were all dumbfounded.
Clearly, the existence of this underground world was something that only a few people in the Illuminati knew about. Elder Zumar's status in the Illuminati was not low, but it seemed that he had never heard of such a place in the former sacred land before.
Saint Edmund's eyes were also filled with excitement as he pointed at the incomparably large shadow in the distance. He said to Lin Li, "President Felic, that's our destination, the place where the god is sleeping. Lord Aquilo and the holy relic that can resurrect him are also there."
After hearing Edmund's words, Lin Li nodded slightly and looked at the shadow in the distance in a daze. In fact, as soon as he entered this place, he had already sensed that there was a terrifying aura that was not inferior to the Immortal King's in addition to the aura left behind by the Immortal King. However, the aura seemed lifeless. It was obvious that it came from the slumbering Ancient God.
However, Lin Li did not sense the aura of the Illuminati's Lord Aquilo at all. It was as if he did not exist there at all. Of course, that made him feel more at ease. At least from the situation, he could tell that the Illuminati would definitely not be able to resurrect the Lord in a short time. In that case, he wouldn't have to worry about the Illuminati resurrecting the Lord all at once and dealing with him together.
"Lord Edmund, there's something I don't quite understand," Lin Li said to Edmund as he retracted his gaze from afar.
As soon as he heard Lin Li's words, Edmund's heart couldn't help but tremble, for fear that Lin Li would suddenly regret it. They had already come this far, and were about to reach their destination. If the Tower of Dusk were to withdraw now, it would be too depressing. Even though the situation here had somewhat exceeded his expectations, he still did not wish for his team to return empty-handed.
"President Felic, please speak." Edmund turned around to look at Lin Li. Although his expression was normal, there was a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
Lin Li smiled, and while walking forward slowly, he asked, "Saint Edmund, you've also said that the Illuminati have been working hard for the past thousands of years regarding the resurrection of your Lord. However, why did you only think of coming here now? "
Others might not know the situation on this island, but the Illuminati had been keeping it a secret for thousands of years. Didn't they do anything in the past thousands of years? Since the Illuminati said that they would do it at all costs, why didn't they send all the Sanctuary powerhouses? With the strength of the Illuminati, they had a Lord, four Saints, and a Sanctuary-level elder like Zumar. Wouldn't that be enough for them to explore this place? Why did they only ask Edmund to come over now? Besides, he was only here to make an advance.
Hearing Lin Li's question, Edmund didn't get angry even though he was a little doubtful. Instead, he smiled bitterly, and said, "Of course, we have been working hard for the past thousands of years. However, ever since that great war, any Sanctuary-realm powerhouse would be blocked by a powerful force here. Later, we exiled some criminals here in order to carry out some excavation work on the island in advance. Who would have thought that it would cause another disaster, causing this island to become an ominous place in the eyes of the people. "
"Blocked by a force?" Lin Li was a little puzzled. When he came, he didn't seem to feel anything special. Besides, there were already five Sanctuary powerhouses who had entered, and there was no power stopping them.
"Yes." Edmund nodded. Seeing that Lin Li was still puzzled, he continued to explain, "For the past thousands of years, this island has been shrouded by a powerful force, and even our current Lord can't set foot on the island. However, there is a legend in our scriptures that the powerful mage from Anril had left a message after the incident, saying that another version of himself would return after thousands of years. Hence, this time, my first purpose of coming here is to see if that force has disappeared. Secondly, I want to bring the holy relic back. "
Another version of himself would return here! That made Lin Li think of something. Ever since he came to Anril, he seemed to have been mistaken for someone else many times. For example, the reason why the Vampire Norfeller recognized him as his master was because his original master said that the Immortal King would come. Also, in Alanna's Daylight Square, the Undead Lord who possessed a mage also thought that he was the Immortal King.
Even when exploring Prince Brahere's mausoleum, a wisp of Soul Brand left by Prince Brahere also mistook Lin Li for the Immortal King. Prince Brahere was likely to be the illegitimate son of the Immortal King and the High Elven queen. Even he could mistake Lin Li for the Immortal King.
However, no matter what others said, Lin Li knew very well that he was himself. How could a game geek who had transmigrated from another world be the Immortal King? However, there were too many coincidences. Putting aside the seven pieces of the debris of the stars and the Stars of Fury, the Sky Castle actually had the Endless Labyrinth that he had invented. In Prince Brahere's mausoleum, the Whispering God from the game world also appeared. On the last floor of the Well of the Sun, there was a shadow wearing a Hunter's suit.
All of these were related to Lin Li in the end. That was too strange of a coincidence.
