"I'm sure!"
Wang Chong immediately said. A moment later, a hazy light erupted from Wang Chong's hand and engulfed the entire book.
"Beginning translation of ancient characters. Prepare to receive information. Does user wish to spend 100 points of Destiny Energy to receive the information?"
The Stone of Destiny asked.
Wang Chong nodded. A moment later, the book began to flip through the pages in a gentle light, showing no signs of breaking.
The Book of Paimon!
For the first time, this ancient book of the Elam Dynasty opened its doors to Wang Chong, leading Wang Chong into this vanished ancient civilization.
Page after page, more information appeared in Wang Chong's mind as he flipped through the book.
After some time, when the last page was turned, the entire Book of Paimon had been translated. Wang Chong opened his eyes and immediately saw Bahram and the other rebel leaders, all of them staring at him in shock.
"Wang Chong … you …"
Bahram looked in shock at Wang Chong, hesitating to speak. It was simply impossible for anyone to decipher the book on the altar, so when Wang Chong had gone over, Bahram had not even considered whether Wang Chong could decipher the secrets of the book, because Wang Chong was simply not a Khorasani. But from the situation just now, it appeared that Wang Chong had managed to decipher the words.
Wang Chong nodded, and as he looked at the expectant Bahram and the other rebel leaders, he did not hide anything.
"This book was written by an Elam State Teacher called Muawiya. It records the entire history of the Elam Dynasty from its rise to its fall. But because the book is incomplete, I can only guess at a portion of the truth from the contents of the book."
Wang Chong's words immediately attracted everyone's attention. The surrounding rebel leaders, including Bahram, all began to pant, their usual composure gone.
The Elam Dynasty!
This was an ancient civilization even more powerful than the Sassanid Empire. They had created many astonishing miracles and enormous projects that excelled the workmanship of nature. What was most praised about the Elamites was that they had broken through the limitations of the earth. Every single one of them could fly in the air like a bird.
In addition, they had also created many martial arts and magic tools. However, all of these resplendent reputations had disappeared overnight.
As the descendants of Sassanid and ancient Elam, there was no one in the hall who didn't care.
"As the State Preceptor of the Elam Dynasty, Muawiya was deeply trusted by the Elam Dynasty's king, and he single-handedly brought about the prosperity of the entire Elam Dynasty. He supported six kings of Elam, and personally witnessed four of them die of old age … "
Before Wang Chong could finish his sentence, cries of alarm rang out from the underground palace. Although Wang Chong only repeated the meaning, everyone understood the hidden meaning behind Wang Chong's words.
"How is that possible? If what he said is true, doesn't that mean that he has lived in the Elam Dynasty for over two hundred years? How could anyone live that long? "
"And according to what he said, the Elam Dynasty was only able to reach such a powerful state because of him. But how is that possible? Why has such a powerful figure never left a mark on history? We've never even heard of Muawiya's name. "
A leader of the Revolutionary Army exclaimed in shock. If what Wang Chong said was true, this was bound to shake all the countries west of the Cong Mountains.
Wang Chong swept his gaze across the crowd and did not refute them.
Instead, he continued, "According to Muawiya's notes, there has always been a faction controlling the Elam Dynasty, and they have tried time and time again to destroy this country. They consider themselves gods, enjoying the worship of everyone, and enslaving all humans. Muawiya spent his entire life thinking of ways to resist these gods, but in the end, he still failed. And the entire Elam Dynasty became the funerary object of this defeat. "
In the underground cavern, everyone was stunned by this news. The powerful Elam civilization had actually been destroyed by gods? How was that possible?
"Impossible! Impossible! The Elam Dynasty was destroyed by the fiendish demons. Everyone knows this. The murals also show it clearly. This Muawiya's notebook can't be real! "
A general of the Revolutionary Army said. The contents of this book completely overturned everything they knew.
"There must be something missing. These ruins can't lie, nor can the ruins of the Elam Dynasty. There must be something we don't know about. Lord Protector-General, look again. This Muawiya definitely has another name. Such an important person can't be unknown. Muawiya must be just an alias, "a rebel leader said.
One of the leaders of the rebel army said.
"The general is right. Muawiyah is only his alias. He has another name, Paimon! This book is also called the Book of Paimon. "
Wang Chong stared at the rebel leader and enunciated each word clearly.
Whoooah!
Wang Chong's final words sent the hall into an uproar. Everyone stared at Wang Chong, so shocked that they couldn't speak. Even Bahram had a look of extreme shock on his face.
"Paimon! It can't be Paimon! Isn't he one of the Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars? How could he be a human, and the state teacher of the Elam Dynasty! "
Everyone was stunned.
"I don't know what's going on, but there's no doubt that this Muawiya is Paimon. He even mentioned that he was punished by God, causing his body to deform. In order to prevent this secret from being forgotten, he specially built this underground palace to pass on this secret."
Wang Chong sternly said.
In the main hall, everyone was immersed in the impact, unable to speak for a long time. Paimon, one of the Seventy-Two Demon God Pillar Pillars, was actually the creator of the Elam Dynasty's golden age. Demon Gods protected humans, Sky Gods slaughtered humans … Thus, all of this caused everyone's minds to be in chaos, enough for them to ponder for a very, very long time.
"General Wang, did the Book of Paimon mention anything else? Why did the gods do this? What goal did they want to achieve? "
Bahram suddenly walked over and asked.
"There's nothing else. The Book of Paimon is incomplete, and much of its information has been lost. Moreover, based on the information I've obtained, this is the first half of the Book of Paimon, and I don't know where the second half is. "
Wang Chong said.
"What?"
Bahram's eyes widened in surprise at this news. This underground ruin had been preserved in an extremely complete manner. If this Muawiya really was Paimon, he had every chance of writing everything down.
If he had divided the handwriting into two parts, it could only mean that this matter was far too important to him. If he had gathered all of it together, the chances of it being lost were far too high, so he had intentionally divided it into two parts.
"Ah! I found it! "
Right at this moment, a loud shout suddenly rang out, attracting everyone's attention.
"Paimon's ritual tool! It really is Paimon's ritual tool!"
"Ah!"
The words' ritual tool 'caused all the rebel leaders to rush over.
The authenticity of the Book of Paimon was secondary. Their goal in entering this underground cave had been to find the relics of the Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars. In the history of Khorasan and Arabia, anything related to the Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars had been extremely powerful.
At this moment, only Wang Chong did not rush over. Looking away from the Book of Paimon, Wang Chong quickly walked down. Wang Chong had no interest in Paimon's ritual tool. At his level of cultivation, one's strength was no longer determined by a simple ritual tool or weapon, but by one's comprehension of the laws of the world and their level of cultivation.
What truly interested Wang Chong was the description of the gods in the Book of Paimon.
That symbol is actually the god of the Book of Paimon. Just what kind of relationship do they have with the otherworldly invaders?
A pensive look appeared in Wang Chong's eyes as he slowly walked out, his mind in turmoil.
Everyone knew that the entire world had been destroyed by the otherworldly invaders, but the appearance of these otherworldly invaders was still shrouded in many mysteries. In his investigations, he was almost certain of one thing: the mark of the eye in the Book of Paimon had also appeared in the places where the otherworldly invaders had appeared. It had only appeared twice, and after that, there had been no other marks. It was as if they had appeared out of thin air and then vanished, but this only made them even more suspicious.
If he could find the secret of these black eyes, he might be able to find the true source of the otherworldly invaders, including where they had come from and why they had done what they had done.
As these thoughts flitted through his mind, Wang Chong quickly came back to his senses. Using his arm to push off the wall, he quickly jumped out of the pit.
The discovery of the Elam ruins and Paimon's ritual tool had sent shockwaves through Khorasan and the rebel army. At night, as Wang Chong was resting in his room, an unexpected figure knocked on Wang Chong's door.
"Bahram?"
Wang Chong was flabbergasted to see this figure walk in.
"General, are you very interested in our Khorasan and those ancient ruins?"
Bahram sat down across from Wang Chong and got straight to the point.
Wang Chong was flabbergasted, but then he remembered something and smiled.
"Great General is talking about what happened in the pit during the day?"
"Because I noticed that General was not interested in Paimon's ritual tool. On the contrary, you were very interested in the Elam Dynasty's civilization and the various ancient secrets. "
Bahram said.
As Wang Chong was examining the weapons around him, Bahram was also examining him. No matter what, Wang Chong had displayed an interest that was completely different from others.
Wang Chong faintly smiled. Instead, he took up a brush and drew a symbol that was extremely similar to the black eye on the Book of Paimon.
"What is this?"
Bahram stared in surprise at the strange symbol that Wang Chong had drawn.
"It's also something from an ancient ruin, but it's not in Khorasan."
Wang Chong grinned and then explained how he had discovered the symbol of the eye. But Wang Chong did not mention the apocalypse, instead saying that he had discovered this symbol in an ancient ruin in the Central Plains.
In addition, Wang Chong explained what he had discovered in the Book of Paimon.
"So what you're saying is that those gods who destroyed the Elam Dynasty … no matter what they are, they did something similar in the Central Plains?"
Bahram said, his eyes filled with astonishment.
"Mm."
Wang Chong gave a serious nod.
"But this isn't impossible. The Tang Dynasty and Arabia were separated by tens of thousands of li, but didn't they still get in touch and fight at Talas? The Tang Dynasty and the Sassanid Dynasty both had powerful civilizations long ago, and it isn't impossible for a faction to appear in both the Elam Dynasty and the Central Plains at the same time. "
To Bahram's surprise, after a few moments of thought, he nodded.
"General, I do not know what you wish to find in these ruins, but when you mentioned that Paimon disguised himself as Muawiyah as the state teacher of the Elam Dynasty, you reminded me of something. I remember that there was a High Priest in Hyderabad in Sindhu. When the Sassanid Dynasty was at its peak, I heard of him as a child. "
