"The past has already passed. Now, all that is left are these records of the past."
King Gu Luo spoke while gently stroking the sphinx. He seemed to be in a trance.
"As for the things inside …"
He raised his head and looked at the ruins in front of him. At this moment, he was like a real old man who was narrating the past. "This is the truth of the past."
"The truth of the past?" Everyone was confused. Only Tarina was stunned. At this moment, she seemed to have remembered something.
"Why did the first era turn into what it is today? Where did the fog come from? Where did those demon gods come from …"
Standing at the front of the group, King Gu Luo spoke softly. "Don't you want to know these things?"
"The answer is in the ruins of the Ten Stars Sect."
After saying this, he did not speak again. He just looked at the statue in front of him and observed the patterns that appeared on it in Silence.
The ancient statue looked very real. The materials used on it were also very unique. Not only did it not make people feel cold, but it also made people feel a faint warmth, as if it was a living creature.
Of course, knowing some of the habits of the Ten Stars Sect, King Gu Luo understood that the statue in front of him was indeed, in a sense, alive.
Back in the first era, the world was extremely prosperous. Many technologies were developed to the peak.
It was very likely that the sphinx in front of him was sealed alive in the past. It was sealed by the Ten Stars Sect to guard the ruins. As long as the time was right, it could be revived again and continue the legacy of the Ten Stars Sect.
Back then, the Glorious Star Empire was like this. When it was just a small tribe, a sphinx beast revived from underground. While protecting them, it also brought the legacy of the Ten Stars Sect to them. With this as the foundation, they built a glorious empire.
However, compared to the ruins that the Glorious Star Empire obtained, something seemed to have happened to the ruins in front of him. As a result, the statue in front of him could not revive and was always in a sealed state. Even now, no one knew if it could still wake up.
King Gu Luo also understood the reason for this change. It was because of the demon wolf god that was entrenched outside the ruins.
A demon wolf god was entrenched above the ruins all year round, sleeping in the outside world. Of course, the sphinx in front of him could not revive. It could only passively suppress it and live like this for countless years.
Creak, creak …
After some time, with creaking sounds, the black door began to slowly open, revealing the scene inside.
A faint purple light began to flicker from the inside of the door, brightening up the dark interior. It was very comfortable to look at.
"Very good."
Seeing this scene, King Gu Luo lightly nodded, and a smile appeared on his face. "Even after such a long time, this relic still hasn't been destroyed. The mechanisms within are still operating."
As he spoke, he held the scepter in his hand, and his golden robe fluttered in the wind. He strode in, looking a little impatient.
Walking in, there was a spacious and long corridor, as well as many huge murals.
These murals were very, very large, and each one was dozens of meters tall. There were all kinds of symbols and pictures carved on them, as if they were recording something.
Purple crystals were embedded around the murals, and they were still flickering. While they illuminated the entire space, they also enveloped the murals, as if they were a unique protective measure.
"That's … a secret method to cultivate ancient bloodline warriors!"
Casually walking in this corridor, Cyrulia inadvertently looked at a mural. Looking at part of the content displayed on it, he was a little surprised.
On the mural, a bare-chested man was holding a longsword and fighting a giant beast.
After killing the giant beast, the man extracted the blood of the giant beast and used it to cultivate more children, allowing them to train from a young age so that they could obtain greater strength.
Beside the mural, there were also a lot of words and symbols describing it.
Looking at these words, Cyrulia's original excitement suddenly stopped, and he frowned.
"This is Xilali, the official language of the nobles of the first era. It's been a long time since it was created. It's normal that you don't know it. "
Beside him, King Gu Luo's voice sounded softly.
"However, just the secret method to cultivate bloodline warriors is nothing in this place."
Looking at Cyrulia, seeing his surprised and excited expression, King Gu Luo first shook his head, then pointed in another direction. "Look over there."
Subconsciously, Cyrulia looked in the direction King Gu Luo was pointing, and in the end, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Under a stone wall, there was a pile of golden crystals, and there was a giant golden egg placed inside. Under the golden crystals' illumination, the egg was emitting a faint radiance, carrying a faint bloodline majesty.
From this giant golden egg, Cyrulia could feel a strong majesty, as well as a life force that, although weak, still existed.
"A beast egg that has been sealed since the first era until now. If I'm not wrong, it should be the beast egg of a sphinx."
Standing in front of Cyrulia, looking at the golden beast egg in the distance, King Gu Luo said softly with an inexplicable smile on his face, "A beast egg of a sphinx, if it can be cultivated, when it matures, it will at least become a nether level guardian beast."
"And this, is only a part of the things in this relic."
He said, his eyes staying on the golden beast egg for a moment, then he walked away and went deeper.
Behind him, Cyrulia looked at the beast egg fixedly. After a long time, he sighed, "What a pity …"
Too much time had passed.
From the first era until now, it had been an incomparably long time. Although this golden beast egg's sealing measures were very good, after such a long time had passed, an accident had still occurred.
Although there was still some vitality left in the beast egg, this vitality was too insignificant. With the current conditions, it was impossible to hatch it.
This was also the reason why King Gu Luo left so decisively, without the slightest hesitation.
"What a pity, this seal hasn't been exposed for too long. If it was a few hundred years earlier, perhaps it could still be saved."
Looking at the beast egg in Silence, Cyrulia shook his head regretfully, then turned his head and walked to the side.
The relic in front of him was really a very large treasure trove, containing the remains of the Ten Stars Sect in the past. There were too many precious things left in it.
Even after several eras had passed, most of the things here had lost their origin, but even the little that remained was enough to dazzle Cyrulia and the others.
Ancient secret techniques, secret cultivation methods for Blood Kin Warriors, secret communication techniques that had long been lost, as well as all kinds of secret patterns and stories hidden in history that had long been forgotten by people …
These kinds of gains made everyone present happy. Looking at the relic in front of them, their faces could not help but blush, and they quickened their steps, walking deeper into the relic.
"We're here."
After an unknown amount of time, when the purple crystal's brilliance had reached its peak, King Gu Luo stopped and looked at the stone slab in front of him.
This was still the end of the relic, and the stone slab in front of him was also the last stone slab in this relic.
Different from the other stone slabs, although the stone slab in front of him was still huge, the material used on it was very unique. It was full of a metallic luster, as if it was cast from the strongest metal.
On the four sides of the stone slab, several huge golden gems were inlaid, and there was an eternal aura circulating on them, containing a huge amount of power.
Standing in front of the stone slab and looking at the huge and gorgeous stone slab, everyone present raised their heads and looked in front of them.
Following their gazes, a picture was the first to be reflected in their eyes.
It was a huge square picture, and in the middle of the picture, there was a giant lying in Silence, as if he was asleep.
"This is …"
Looking at the picture in front of him, Xiluria showed a look of hesitation, unable to understand the content of the stone slab.
"A person lying in there, is this where the ancients slept?" Amidst the silence, someone spoke up, a look of confusion in his eyes.
"No, this is a coffin." Looking at the picture in front of her in Silence, Tarina spoke in Silence, translating the words engraved on the picture for everyone present, "A long time ago, a huge coffin fell from the sky, and the corpse of a giant was lying in it."
"The ancestors of the first era discovered the corpse of the giant and thought that it was a fallen deity, so they built an altar and worshiped it."
Looking at the words on the picture, she slowly spoke.
Everyone looked at the picture, and very soon, they saw two pictures with the same content.
In the picture, a group of relatively insignificant people built an altar, and they were currently kneeling towards the person in the coffin.
"As time passed, the ancestors worshiped the deity's corpse generation after generation, and they slowly discovered that there were some changes in their bodies."
Looking at the words on the picture, Tarina read it word by word, but suddenly, she froze and fell into silence.
"What's wrong?"
Xiluria felt a little strange, and he looked at Tarina with a confused look in his eyes.
Lightly biting her lips, Tarina expelled the strange emotions in her mind, and continued, "As time passed, the ancestors discovered that they possessed a unique power that allowed them to listen to the minds of magical beasts and form a connection with them."
"As time passed, some people discovered that they could use this power to sign a contract with a powerful magical beast, and from there, obtain the magical beast's power and life."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's expression changed, and they seemed to have thought of something.
"This power, it seems like …" Standing behind King Gu Luo, Yi Lei's expression changed, and he quickly thought of something, "Bloodline contract!"
"The power of the bloodline contract, the power of the soul, could it be that it originated from the so-called deity's corpse?"
Everyone muttered in their hearts, and for a moment, their emotions changed.
They didn't disturb Tarina, who was reading the slate, and instead, they paid more attention to her.
"As time passed, the influence of the deity grew, and more and more people obtained this power."
In the spacious and dim space, Tarina continued to speak. Her beautiful eyes stared at the slate in front of her, not wanting to let go of any of the content on it, "After obtaining power, the people of the original tribe started to rise, and relying on the power obtained from the magical beasts, they gradually built a great empire."
"The name of this empire was called the Ten Stars Empire."
At this point, she paused for a moment, letting the people around her digest the content, and then continued, "As the Ten Stars Empire developed to its peak, some unknown changes also followed."
"On the altar, unknown changes started to happen to the body of the deity's corpse."
"The originally sturdy and unchanging body of the deity was rotting, and the flesh and blood on it melted into a kind of black corpse liquid, dripping onto the ground, and gradually turning into a dense fog, polluting the land one after another, turning it into a demonic domain."
"However, within a few hundred years, a large amount of land was changed by the aura released by the deity's corpse, and a large number of lives were infected by the aura of the deity's corpse, gradually evolving in an even more terrifying direction."
"Left with no choice, the Ten Stars Empire finally decided to evacuate the ancestral land where the altar was, and began to move, leaving the deity's corpse in the dense fog."
"As time passed, and as the deity's corpse rotted, the influence of the dense fog started to gradually increase, and terrifying consequences were caused."
