Jingchu Governor's District, Tanzhou City, Bear Mountain Nature Reserve.
Now, this place had long been forgotten by the world.
If they didn't look at the map, even many Jingchu people wouldn't know that there was such a nature reserve.
There was no other way!
Ever since the end of the hundred-year war, Bear Mountain had been included in the first batch of national nature reserves.
From then on, it had been strictly protected.
Only a few rangers and the local environmental protection department would enter this area regularly to inspect it.
After modern times, the environmental protection department learned to use satellites and came even less often.
Thus, this protected area became a truly forgotten place.
The mountain road was covered in moss and thorns.
The valleys on both sides were lush and lush, and spring had already appeared.
Not far ahead, there was a small pavilion built on the mountainside for resting.
Ling Ping'an walked to the small pavilion and looked around. Then, he turned around and asked, "After this place is the ancestral land, right?"
The old Grandma Hu nodded with the support of Hu Nuonuo, "Young Master is right!"
Grandma Hu let out a sigh as she spoke.
Since two hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Ling family had brought their ancestors and left this homeland overnight.
For two hundred years, no one dared to return.
Because...
The entire mountain area here had become a part of a terrifying and powerful ritual!
Ling Ping'an walked out of the small pavilion and climbed to the top of the mountain.
Looking forward, a valley appeared in front of him.
Lush trees, intertwined vines, and birds and beasts that smelled the scent of spring began to become active.
On the opposite side of the valley, there was a small hillside.
From afar, the shape of the hillside looked like a bird's nest between the mountains and the trees.
This was probably the origin of the Luofeng Slope, right?
Ling Ping'an raised his head and looked at the sky above the hillside.
The gas was spinning.
The stars were shining!
It was as if there was another starry sky reflecting the shadow of this world.
Starlight fell. Under the hillside, huge objects that looked like chains emerged from the depths of it.
They intertwined with each other, forming an obscure, ominous, and terrifying symbol.
And at the end of this symbol.
Two shadows intertwined with each other.
"I see!" Ling Ping'an blinked, and the strange phenomenon in his eyes disappeared completely, as if what he had seen just now was just an illusion.
But, he understood that it was the truth!
The ancestors of the Ling family had once held an incomparably powerful and strange ritual here.
The ritual summoned the taboo.
And taboo brings about ominous things.
Thus, in order to suppress this taboo and ominous.
The ancestors of the Ling clan chose to sacrifice themselves.
Using himself as a sacrifice, he summoned a terrifying and powerful ancient god.
That god had sacrificed his divine body and his divine kingdom.
Those taboos and ominous things were turned into a rune, suppressing this place!
Obviously, all of this was related to him!
In fact, it was the reason why he was born!
Ling Ping'an looked at the ancestral land, then turned around and said to Hu, Wang, Zhang, Lu, and the others who had been following behind him, "Wait for me here first..."
"I'll go over and take a look. I'll come back to pick you up when there's no danger!"
"Yes!" Everyone bowed.
Ling Ping'an then handed Bastet to Hu Nuonuo and instructed, "Nuonuo... Bring Bastet here... If there's any danger, Bastet can also protect you!"
Meow! The little black cat meowed obediently.
"En!" Hu Nuonuo nodded seriously.
Thus, Ling Ping'an stepped forward and walked towards the origin of everything.
He crossed the rough, thorny path and walked through the thick undergrowth.
Wherever he passed, the thorns withered and the bushes withered.
In the seemingly calm underground, there were countless rustling sounds.
Finally, Ling Ping'an arrived at his destination.
It was a ruined building that was already covered in weeds and decaying. Only a few traces of bricks and tiles were exposed outside.
He raised his head and looked above his head. The rune that was filled with ominous and taboo appeared again.
However, this time, Ling Ping'an could clearly see the figure above the rune.
A man and a woman, one Yin and one Yang, intertwined shadows.
These two shadows were sometimes extremely sacred, sometimes extremely terrifying, and sometimes extremely strange.
All sorts of taboo and filthy languages echoed in his ears.
Ling Ping'an looked at them and gently reached out to grab the ground.
Countless pieces of rotten soil were gently picked up by him.
The ruins that had been buried for two hundred years were once again exposed to the sun.
And he saw a place at a glance.
It was a brand-new stone house.
When Ling Ping'an saw it, the image of the stone house immediately changed.
The buildings in front of him also began to decay.
Green mucus was dripping down.
Patter patter!
All the wooden houses seemed to have come to life.
Under the foundation, huge foot-shaped pieces of meat that looked like sheep's hooves slowly woke up.
The tiles on the roof kept trembling.
It was like the crown of a strange tree!
No!
It was countless tentacles that were shaking.
The wall cracked and pieces of wrinkled rough green skin squeezed out.
Roar! Roar!
The monsters that had just woken up screamed.
Black goat cubs!
The most beloved creature of the Great Mother Goddess.
The most docile children of the Black Goat of the Forest!
However, upon closer inspection, these terrifying creatures had already died a long time ago.
Their bodies had already decayed.
Thick juice flowed out of their limbs.
The terrifying divine power in their bodies was constantly being extracted by the ritual formed by this building.
And mixed into the rune above their heads.
The energy that formed and maintained this ritual!
If one looked more closely, one would know that these terrifying black goat cubs had taken the initiative to commit suicide.
After they committed suicide, they even took the initiative to cooperate with humans.
So that humans could mix their flesh and souls with the surrounding soil, burn them into bricks and refine them into a part of the ritual!
And here, at the foot of this ruin, there were at least hundreds of corpses of black goat cubs.
Among them, the hearts of dozens of dead black goat cubs were still beating.
These terrifying creatures, even if they were dead.
It was still enough to distort and destroy the ecology of an entire world!
And when they were alive.
Black goat cubs were the children and messengers of the Mother Goddess of Darkness.
Every black goat cub could easily destroy the life of a world!
And now, hundreds of black goat cubs had died here, turned into bricks and tiles, and became a part of the altar and ritual!
Ling Ping'an took a deep breath, "As expected!"
He raised his head and looked at the rune above his head, "Mother... is the Mother Goddess of Darkness!"
One of the three immortal pillar gods.
The Black Goat of the Forest, which gave birth to thousands of children, was the mother who gave birth to him!
Ling Ping'an actually knew it a long time ago.
But he had never been willing to admit it.
Now that the truth was right in front of him, he had no choice but to admit it.
But...
Relying on the Mother Goddess of Darkness alone could only give birth to monsters.
So...
Who was Father?
While Ling Ping'an was thinking about this, the sticker in his hand started to tremble.
