Ten thousand years ago, the ancient era — even the races that paid great attention to their heritage and well-preserved history would find it hard to record such a thing from such a long time ago, let alone record something that was so abstract that it was almost a natural phenomenon that could not be described in the language of mortals. Vogus could only piece together the faces of the Shades of Chaos and the Solar Roulette from the obscure words left by his ancestors, and the faces were full of an ominous aura.
"Our ancestors found the Solar Roulette in an ancient molten pit, which was 6,000 to 7,000 years ago," Vogus told Hao Ren as much as he could. "It was said that it was completely wrapped in cooled volcanic rocks and buried thousands of meters underground, but its light would still burst out from the depths of the earth every full moon night, illuminating the entire sky. My ancestors found it by this light. The roulette had a fatal attraction, so in the first few hundred years, people had always regarded it as a divine artifact that could bring infinite energy, but as time went by, the terrible nature of the roulette began to slowly reveal itself.
"A kind of thing called the Shades of Chaos ran out of the roulette. At first, there were only a few of them, and they could be easily dealt with, but soon they became stronger and their numbers increased sharply, as if they were endless, leaking out of the Solar Roulette.
"The Shades of Chaos caused a huge problem. My ancestors tried to destroy the Solar Roulette to eliminate its root cause, but no force could damage it. Even the fusion explosion could not leave a dent on the surface of the Solar Roulette. They tried to bury the Solar Roulette again in the pit, but the shadows had found a way to escape, and rocks and soil could not isolate them underground.
"There are no detailed records of what happened later, but you know the general story: under the threat of the Shades of Chaos, several of the strongest families united and found the world's oldest and most powerful Blood Clan, Countess Vivian Ancestor. I don't know what method they used, but these ancients finally succeeded in reversing the program of the Solar Roulette and took all the shadows back into the disaster artifact."
After Vogus' narration came to an end, Hao Ren asked, "I have a question: before the emergence of the Shades of Chaos, were there innate hostility between the various races?"
"Yes." It was not Vogus who answered him, but Hasse next to him. "I can be sure that the phenomenon of innate hostility has existed since the beginning. It has a history of at least 10,000 years. There are clear historical records."
Vogus knew what Hao Ren was thinking. "The Shade of Chaos and the Solar Roulette did appear after the innate hostility lasted for thousands of years, but it was just that people discovered it late. It was buried in the ground from the beginning, and no one knew when it first started."
"Where is that thing now?" Y'zaks asked.
"In the depths of this space. We have built another layer of space in the deepest part of this alternate dimension and sealed the Solar Roulette with a huge shadow labyrinth called the Calamity Cloister. It has been thousands of years now. "
Lily couldn't help but be curious. "You know how dangerous that thing is. Why are you still guarding it? Outsiders thought that it was a treasure, but in the end, it was just a jinx. "
Vogus smiled, at least his expression was very close to a human's smile. "Because we dug that thing out of the ground, the Ancattero family is willing to take the responsibility of guarding it forever. Even if it brings disaster to our family one day, we are willing to do it. We are responsible for what we have done."
"Where is the entrance to the labyrinth?" Vivian asked in a deep voice. "We want to go in."
"As long as you have my family emblem, the entrance to the labyrinth can be opened anytime and anywhere. It is a dimensional door." Vogus took a deep breath and slowly stood up. "But you have to think about it. It is the lair of the Shades of Chaos. The danger inside is a hundred times more serious than the outside. After the seal went out of control, the monitoring equipment in the Calamity Cloister was offline. We can't receive any signal from there. You will be isolated and helpless after you go in. You can only return to the outside world from the altar where the Solar Roulette is."
"Isn't the situation bad enough?" Vivian smiled. "Leave it to me. Although my strength has declined, I have accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with 'difficult-to-treat diseases' in the past two years."
Vivian glanced at Hao Ren as she spoke. She meant that she had dealt with a lot of difficult-to-treat diseases with Hao Ren. But Hasse and Whitefire thought that Hao Ren was the difficult-to-treat disease in the Countess' mind. Suddenly, their imagination ran wild.
Vogus did not think too much. He silently took out a small pale gold device that looked like a pocket watch. This should be the key to open the door of the Calamity Cloister. Before activating the door, he reminded Vivian, "The fewer people who go in at a time, the better."
Vivian frowned. "Why?"
"Those who are mentally fragile will become the puppets of the Shades of Chaos and the Solar Roulette. It is best to let the strongest go in so that there is room for maneuver even if something goes wrong. Who are you going to send? "
Vivian looked at Hao Ren and asked, "What do you think?"
Hao Ren confirmed the people at the scene and quickly selected the most suitable candidates. "Y 'zaks, and Hasse, will you two go with me and Vivian? The four of us should be the most suitable. "
He did not choose randomly. Among the four candidates, Vivian had a close relationship with the Solar Roulette, so naturally, she could not be ruled out. Y 'zaks and Hasse were the two strongest and should be important combat power. As for himself …
Hao Ren felt that his personal combat power should not be as good as Y 'zaks, but he knew that his biggest reliance was the divinity from Raven 12345. Divinity would protect him from the evil of the outside world. Since the Solar Roulette was such an evil thing, he, as the 'pope', should be the natural enemy of that thing.
Y 'zaks and Vivian naturally had no objection, and Hasse agreed after careful consideration. The other demon hunters seemed to have some doubts about it, but seeing that their leader had agreed, they did not say anything more.
Lily grabbed Hao Ren's sleeve and shook it. Hao Ren said that the husky looked stupid, but in fact, she was very concerned about her companion. However, this action was not in line with Lily's ability. So before she could say anything, Hao Ren stopped her. "You stay outside. You are not good at dealing with that kind of thing."
Lily wagged her tail and said, "No, I mean, don't forget to take a few pictures after you go in. I want to see what it looks like inside."
Hao Ren was speechless.
He should have known that he should not waste his time with this idiot!
Vivian ignored the husky's behavior. She nodded to Vogus and said, "Open the door."
Vogus asked everyone to step back and then put the pocket watch-like device on the ground. Accompanied by a few "ding ding" sounds, the small device suddenly opened.
It split into four parts and slowly floated in the air. The four pieces of the pocket watch were connected by light and stretched into a rectangular frame that looked like a picture frame. As the four fragments settled into position in the air, the scene in the middle of the "picture frame" also changed. Water-like ripples gradually filled the frame formed by interweaving light rays, finally forming a stable door.
Hao Ren saw a thick fog behind the door. He could vaguely see a dark and deep corridor through the fog. The material of the corridor was different from the gold building of the Ancattero family. It was dark and looked like it was made of obsidian.
"After you walk through this door, you will be completely isolated from the outside world," Vogus said. "To prevent more Shades of Chaos from escaping, I will close the door. I will only receive your coordinates when you arrive at the location of the Gilded Disc. And if you still can't solve the problem there — "
"I understand," Hasse interrupted Vogus. "If we don't succeed, Andaherr and Hesperides will find more capable reinforcements. Until then, don't open the door."
"How are we going to find the Solar Roulette?" Vivian asked.
"The Shadowy Labyrinth is only used to trap the Shades of Chaos, but it has no effect on sane people. You can't see the crossroads, but only a winding corridor. You just need to follow the only route."
Vivian breathed a sigh of relief. "I understand. Then there is no problem."
"I wish you all the best," Vogus said, motioning for them to go in.
Hao Ren put up his Steel Membrane Shield and was the first to step into the portal.
The moment he stepped through the door, he immediately felt the existence of the source of disaster with incomparable clarity and intensity!
