"I don't know anything about the Age of Myriad Deities, do any of you know anything about it?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
— — before, he was still a bit doubtful about his identity as' Rhode ', afraid that his companions would notice something, but now that he knew that this identity came from the [Fate Ability: Existence], he was reassured.
"Rhode, don't you pay attention in history class?" Scarlet chuckled.
"The Elders said that the Age of Myriad Deities was a matter from the previous Era. It was said that the Era of Myriad Deities was too dangerous, there were no living beings, because living beings couldn't possibly survive in that kind of world, only Deities could" Shroud replied.
Reneedol continued: "The Deities won against the great evil and danger, creating the Pantheon. Then, one day, all of them abruptly disappeared, and that era also came to an end"
Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked: "Why did they disappear?"
"I don't know — — no one knows, it's always been a mystery" Scarlet shrugged.
Shroud sighed: "There was a period of time when I was fascinated by the Age of Myriad Deities, but the Elders and the pixies all said that the matters of the previous Era were too dangerous, so I wasn't allowed to investigate"
He opened his palm and lightly tossed the cluster of light hovering in his hand.
The warm and gentle cluster of light slowly floated up and hovered in the middle of the dark tunnel.
The cluster of light gave off a brighter and more gentle white light, completely illuminating the entire tunnel that the young people were in.
The tunnel extended in all directions, the walls on both sides were also filled with stone doors of various sizes, leading to an unknown destination.
Shroud was a bit eager and said: "We can't just stay here forever, how about we find a door and see what's inside?"
Reneedol nodded: "Indeed, we can't go to the Scavenger Station, nor can we go back, but we might be able to find a new path if we enter the ruins"
Scarlet asked: "Then should we choose a door?"
Shroud excitedly replied: "Alright, then let's — –"
Gu Qing Shan suddenly cut him off and said: "No, don't be in such a hurry"
"What is it?" Shroud was confused.
"We don't know anything about the Pantheon, is it really alright to just go in like this?" Gu Qing Shan cautiously asked.
The three of them looked at him.
"But there's no other path" Shroud replied.
"At the very least, we need to have a basic understanding of the Pantheon Temple before deciding what to do. I think it's safer this way" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Do you have a basic understanding of the Pantheon?" Scarlet asked.
She walked up to Gu Qing Shan, tiptoed, and touched his forehead with her hand.
"What?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Scarlet pulled her hand back and said: "I don't have a fever … Rhode, don't you know that the Pantheon is an extremely mysterious ruin from the previous era? If we don't go in, how would we understand its secrets?"
Gu Qing Shan pointed at the wall and said, "The mural."
The three of them looked in the direction of his hand.
There were indeed some murals on the wall that he had never seen before, but most of them were damaged. Only a few scattered places could barely be seen.
Everyone carefully looked at the murals and found that the parts that were still relatively intact were the images of some deities.
The deities were wielding various weapons, or in various poses, as if they were fighting against something.
But the murals were too damaged, so they couldn't see who the enemy of the Deities were.
After a while, everyone couldn't help but feel a bit dejected.
"Too many of these murals have been damaged, so we probably won't be able to see anything" Shroud didn't mind.
Gu Qing Shan, on the other hand, stared closely at the murals and blankly said: "Actually, I'm thinking — — what exactly destroyed these murals"
The three of them remained silent.
"Rhode, what are you trying to say?" Reneedol asked.
Gu Qing Shan pointed for them to see, then explained: "Many murals portraying the heroism of the Deities are here, even the brilliance of some spells and weapons are clearly visible. We can interpret this as the Deities declaring their victory"
Reneedol thought briefly, then nodded: "That is indeed the case"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "But take a look, the enemies of the Deities can't be seen in any of the murals on this wall, the relevant murals have all been purposefully erased"
Shroud, Reneedol, and Scarlet regained their focus and carefully observed the murals.
"That really is the case" Shroud muttered.
"But then, who did this? Why would they erase the enemies of the Deities? "Scarlet couldn't help but ask.
Reneedol calmly replied: "Perhaps it's just a coincidence. After all, we've only seen this part of the tunnel's murals, the entire tunnel is actually very long and bottomless. Perhaps other places will show us who the enemies of the Deities are"
Gu Qing Shan resolutely said: "Then let's find a fork in the road and continue walking — — this will help us confirm a few things"
Shroud took a deep breath and said: "Alright, let's go, I also want to know what kind of entity the enemies of the Deities are"
"If we're going to take a fork, then let's take this one"
Reneedol pointed at a fork in the tunnel on the other side and said.
Everyone turned to look, only to see that the fork in the tunnel was lined with railroad tracks that extended deep into the tunnel.
— — -that was the pixies' Hex Train.
Since this was a place that allowed trains to pass through, the pixies must have already explored it. Compared to the other dark and desolate tunnels, this path should be safer.
Gu Qing Shan lightly nodded and said: "Then we'll take this path"
The four of them went through the tunnel and entered the fork in the tunnel.
The cluster of light that Shroud had released had been following them, illuminating the various murals on the walls.
"Look, this Deity is controlling flames, but they're pure red flames" Scarlet commented.
"It's probably a Deity that wields the Law of Fire" Reneedol commented.
"Look over there — — that Deity is holding a battle axe in his hand, there are also countless overlapping images on top of the axe, I really wonder what Law he wields" Shroud excitedly commented.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything and simply observed the murals.
All sorts of deities displayed their unparalleled supernatural powers to fight against some sort of evil.
But the evil entity was still erased from the murals, so there was no way to tell who the enemy of the Deities was.
Reneedol muttered: "How strange … it really is as Rhode said, none of the murals can tell who the enemy of the Deities is"
The youths looked at each other, and a strange feeling arose in their hearts.
"Look!" Scarlet suddenly called out.
She pointed at one of the murals.
Gu Qing Shan immediately turned towards the direction she was pointing.
— — it was a complete mural.
Among the many murals, this was the only one that wasn't damaged at all.
The Deities were standing in a luxurious palace, celebrating their victory.
"This is the scene of a victory celebration — — - I still can't tell who the enemy of the Deities is" Shroud shook his head and sighed.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the mural and focused on it.
"These Deities are quite interesting, even if they're celebrating their victory, they're still quite far away from each other, why is that?" he muttered.
Hearing him say that, everyone carefully looked at the Deities. Only to see that although their expressions had changed, they were still quite far away from each other.
Reneedol pondered: "They seem to be wary of something"
"Wary of each other" Shroud replied.
Gu Qing Shan's expression changed as she was attracted by several figures.
At the top corner of the entire mural stood three young girls. The other Deities were all staying far away from where they were, not daring to approach them at all. Only a single Deity was greeting them from afar.
It seems even the Deities are afraid of them.
"Who are they?" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
…
The human settlement.
The corpses of a man and a woman were laid on the ground.
They had managed to avoid various disasters and survived until two minutes ago — — -
Then they ran into the three Deities.
"How difficult, it's so hard to find a single living person" Poison Deity sighed.
Foresight Deity pondered: "I remember that there should have been a lot of living beings — — but this time, the Law Behemoths have all died, and most of the living beings have also died. The food chain has been completely broken, it seems this era will collapse sooner or later"
Shadow Deity also sighed: "Indeed, it'll only become harder and harder to find living beings from now on, most Deities might not even have a body to return to the Realm of Life"
Foresight Deity retracted his thoughts, grabbed the void of space, and caught a cluster of stars.
The stars illuminated their surroundings.
There were at least 30 of these stars, several times more than what Shroud and Rhode had collected.
"Very well, we can now send our two companions to the Realm of Life. The male body will naturally be given to Mystery Deity, after all, his ability to gather information is the strongest. As for the female body — — -"
Foresight Deity paused, then turned to Poison Deity and Shadow Deity.
The two Deities seemed to have realized something, so they couldn't help but take a step back and looked away.
Foresight Deity sighed, then forced himself to ask: "Are we really going to let her come up?"
Poison Deity muttered: "They've already decided on her, how could we not let her come up?"
Foresight Deity abruptly raised his voice and said: "That's because if we let her come up, they won't have to face her!"
Poison Deity said nothing.
Shadow Deity looked at Foresight Deity and asked in return: "Are you going to stop her from coming to the Realm of Life?"
Foresight Deity was stunned and didn't say anything for a long while.
Shadow Deity said: "Fine, let's go with everyone's decision and let her come up. After all, we can't afford to offend her"
Poison Deity then spoke up: "After all, her older sister is dead, her younger sister has lost her memories and doesn't even recognize us now — — I'm sure she's going crazy from joy"
Shadow Deity continued: "Furthermore, it's best that we get her here first, otherwise, if she gets angry, neither you nor I will be able to handle it"
Foresight Deity looked at the starlight in his hand and sighed.
With a wave of his hand, the starlight flew towards the female corpse.
Seeing that, Poison Deity and Shadow Deity both took a few steps back.
Foresight Deity spoke in a hoarse voice: "The craziest of the three sisters of Fate — — I never thought that I would one day have to act together with her"
