The Titan Cronos had also returned to the ground, and there was no longer a trace of life in his mountain-like body.
Back in the Haiga Mountain Range, Lin Li obtained the skeleton of a Titan, and used it to build the Black Front Fortress. However, this time, Lin Li did not covet the corpse of the Titan. One reason was that the corpse was no longer of much use to him, and the other was for the sake of the upcoming exploration. After all, they were now in a cooperative relationship with the Gilded Kingdom's team, and Lin Li had already obtained the corpse of the Ice Phoenix. If he asked for the corpse of the Titan now, it would definitely cause the Gilded Kingdom to be displeased. Hence, he decided to give the useless corpse to the Gilded Kingdom.
Of course, it was not that Lin Li did not gain anything this time. If he could comprehend something from the trace of divinity captured by the debris of the stars, Thunderbolt, it would be something that no wealth could compare to.
Hence, after the battle ended, Lin Li generously waved his hand, and said to the people of the Gilded Kingdom, "The value of this Titan's corpse is not inferior to that of the Ice Phoenix. Since we obtained the Ice Phoenix previously, this one belongs to you now."
However, Lin Li's words did not make the people of the Gilded Kingdom happy at all. Although they all knew that the corpse of the Titan was very valuable, they still had to find a way to bring it back. The Titan was not a kitten or puppy that could be brought away casually. Apart from Lin Li's Ring of Endless Storm, what else could bring the mountain-like Titan away?
"Damn it, that kid did it on purpose!" High Priest Poer cursed under his breath as he glared at the Tower of Dusk with resentment.
On the other hand, Elder Zumar, who was at the side, could only shake his head helplessly after sizing up the corpse of the Titan. He said, "Our mission is more important. Let's leave this thing here first, and think of a way later."
The two teams bypassed the corpse of the Titan, and arrived at the bridge behind the Titan. They then walked along the bridge towards the opposite side of the large crack. It was unknown how long the bridge was, and the two teams still couldn't see the end of it even after walking all the way to the back. Fortunately, the bridge was very wide, enough for ten carriages to travel side by side, so the two teams did not feel crowded.
Just like that, the two teams walked on the Lock Bridge for an unknown period of time. Finally, they saw the outline of a huge building vaguely revealed in the light ahead. From the silhouette of the building, it seemed to be a tall and majestic city wall. It was at least a hundred meters tall, and the two sides of the wall could not be seen.
Clearly, Saint Edmund of the Illuminati already had an answer for what was at the end of the Lock Bridge. After seeing the scene ahead, he immediately ordered the team to speed up. The Gilded Kingdom's team sped up, and the Tower of Dusk naturally couldn't fall too far behind. Hence, they followed closely behind the Gilded Kingdom's team, and headed towards the end of the bridge.
When the two teams entered the Lock Bridge and stepped onto the land on the other side of the huge crack, the city wall that was originally a little hazy in the light was finally revealed to everyone. However, the thing that was revealed was quite different from what they had imagined. Although it was indeed a tall and majestic city wall, it looked very old and dilapidated. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a dilapidated wall. There was a tall city gate directly opposite the Lock Bridge, but the gate had long disappeared, and what was left was only a hole in the city gate.
At this moment, Edmund raised his hand and gestured for the team to stop temporarily. He turned around, and said to the crowd, "Now, we have reached the true core of the Holy Land, which is also the place where the god is sleeping. Next, everyone must be vigilant and not make any noise. Otherwise, it will be disrespectful to the god. "
Hearing Edmund's words, the expressions on the faces of the people of the Gilded Kingdom suddenly became much more solemn, and they all seemed to be pious. Although they were not all members of the Illuminati, there was no difference in their beliefs. Besides, everyone knew how serious it was to be disrespectful to the god. Hence, no one was willing to get into trouble.
However, when Lin Li saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little amused, because during his conversation with Edmund, he had already guessed that Edmund and the other senior executives of the Illuminati actually did not believe in the so-called God-king of Light. Hence, Edmund's words made Lin Li feel rather sarcastic. He reckoned that the ones who were really disrespectful to the god were the senior executives of the Illuminati.
Of course, Lin Li only thought about it in his heart, and didn't really show it on his face. In addition, he could also tell from Edmund's words that the god who was sleeping there was probably not sleeping very soundly. He might even be awakened by the slightest movement.
Hence, Lin Li also instructed his people to be more careful after entering, lest they got into trouble while the Gilded Kingdom did not cause any trouble. Otherwise, they would feel like crying but have no tears to shed.
The two teams became extra careful, and slowly walked into the underground ancient city through the huge hole in the city gate.
When they walked into the ancient city, they discovered that the section of the city wall was really considered a relatively complete building compared to the scene inside. The inside of the ancient city was a scene of ruins in front of them. There were dilapidated walls everywhere, and not a single complete building could be found.
Edmund reckoned that he had already learned about the situation here from the information he had read. Hence, he didn't pay too much attention to it, and simply led the team towards the depths of the underground ancient city. Lin Li, on the other hand, followed behind with the team from the Tower of Dusk, and discovered something that seemed to be very interesting from the dilapidated walls.
Lin Li found some ancient Titan Runes on the few dilapidated walls that were still somewhat in shape. However, after trying to identify them, he found that it was really quite difficult for him to decipher their content. Apart from the fact that the Titan Runes were incomplete due to the destruction of the buildings, even if there were some complete and clear Titan Runes, it would be difficult for him to identify them with his abilities.
Following the Gilded Kingdom's team all the way, Lin Li only managed to recognize some Titan Runes on the dilapidated walls, such as the Temple of the Gods and the Prison. He couldn't link them together into a complete sentence at all, let alone understand their meaning.
However, in addition to the Titan Runes, Lin Li also discovered that the materials used in the underground ancient city were actually materials that did not exist in Anril. Even with Lin Li's knowledge, he couldn't recognize what those materials were. It seemed that they didn't even exist in the Endless World. However, he felt that the nature of those building materials was vaguely similar to the crystal ball that Edmund had taken out just now.
He thought about how Edmund had used the crystal ball to activate the Power of Light in the entire space to suppress the Titan Cronos again. Lin Li guessed that the crystal ball was very likely to be related to the ancient god that was sleeping here. In that case, could the ruins in the ancient city be related to that ancient god too? If the ruins were really related to that ancient god, could the materials that did not belong to this world come from the legendary Divine Kingdom?
Lin Li couldn't help but be shocked by that conjecture. Ascending to the realm of the gods and creating a Divine Kingdom were two completely different concepts. It was just like the difference between a Sanctuary powerhouse who had just entered the Sanctuary-realm and a Sanctuary powerhouse who could create his own Domain World. The difference between the two was worlds apart. Legend had it that only those who had reached the high-level of the Sanctuary-realm could truly create a Divine Kingdom that belonged to them. That was almost no different from creating a world. It could be said that if they were all gods, a god who could create and own a God Nation was definitely a king-level existence among the gods.
If the ancient god that the Illuminati believed in had really brought the Divine Kingdom to Anril, the power of that ancient god would be too terrifying. Even though Lin Li had always been bold, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he thought that he might be facing a god with a Divine Kingdom this time.
At the same time, Lin Li couldn't help but sigh and wonder what kind of a freak the Immortal King was to be able to suppress an ancient god with a Divine Kingdom. His strength was simply unimaginable!
At this moment, the team of the Gilded Kingdom in front suddenly stopped. Saint Edmund turned around, and solemnly said to the crowd, "In the depths of this underground ancient city is the place where our great founding saint, Aquilo, rests. However, before we step there, I have to give everyone a special warning, including those of the Tower of Dusk. After seeing the sleeping saint, do not touch his body, or you will definitely attract the divine punishment of the God-king of Light. "
Edmund's warning about attracting the divine punishment of the God-king of Light did not mean anything to the others, but to Lin Li, Elder Zumar, and High Priest Poer, there was another meaning. In other words, if anyone touched Aquilo's body, they would likely wake up the sleeping God-king of Light. Otherwise, there would be no divine punishment.
"Yes, Saint, we got it!" The people of the Gilded Kingdom, including Zumar and Poer, who knew some inside information, responded respectfully.
Lin Li nodded under Edmund's gaze, and said, "Don't worry, I don't want to get myself into trouble. Besides, if any of you try to pull any tricks, I won't let him off, either. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Li couldn't help but be a little stunned, because he immediately realized that he shouldn't have said those words just now. Even if that was what he was thinking, he shouldn't have said it so bluntly, right? However, although he felt that something was amiss, he couldn't seem to figure it out for a while. Hence, Lin Li didn't delve into the reason. After all, he was the one who said those words.
