Sixty years ago, there were still people living in the ruins of Helier, so some of the ancient buildings here were still relatively intact.
However, after the arrival of the Turbid Tide, the reasons for the destruction of various civilizations were different. According to the survivors of Helier, it was because Helier did not worship the gods, so the gods sent down divine punishment, and the ghosts from another world destroyed the entire city.
Zhang Yu did not doubt this statement because it was possible for the gods to send down divine punishment, and some powerful EsGods did have such ability.
Furthermore, Helier was indeed one of the few countries that did not believe in EsGods.
Yes, Helier did not believe in gods. They only believed in their own strength and believed that they could do everything that the gods could do.
At first glance, this was similar to Tianxia's idea, but in reality, it was not the same thing.
The people of Helier did not believe in gods, and all their faith was placed on two things, which were the 'Box of Wishes' and the 'Jar of Eternal Life'.
The people of Helier were the latecomers to this ruin, and they were lucky enough to inherit the knowledge and most of the heritage from the previous era, including these two things that had not been completed.
They understood from the knowledge left behind in the ruin that no one could escape the end of the era. Therefore, they tried to continue to complete these two things to avoid the inevitable destruction.
However, from the results, they did not manage to do so.
At this moment, Zhang Yu's footsteps paused. In front of him was a large pool with a radius of about a mile. The statues that stood there were all over the place, and there were broken bones everywhere.
As for the "Iron Soldiers" that had just arrived, they all disappeared when they got close to the big pool.
Zhang Yu's eyes flickered, and a blurry figure appeared in his vision. They were flying over the pool at lightning speed.
They were clearly invisible, but wherever they passed, everything would be affected. Even the huge statues would collapse when they passed through them, and any mortals who passed through them would be smashed into a pile of minced meat on the spot as if they were hit by an unparalleled force.
"This thing …"
He pondered for a moment, gripped the sword in his hand, and stepped forward.
On the other side, Elder Ying and the others were following Captain Lee's team.
There was indeed some trouble along the way. Both inside and outside the ruins were rich in greenery and light, so this place had become a gathering place for spiritual creatures. However, with Captain Lee and his soldiers clearing the area, they soon cleared a path and went all the way to the inner part of the ruins.
What appeared in front of them was a flagstone path that could allow ten people to walk side by side. Here, there were several brass metal plates that were about ten feet tall. They had a slight inclination, and were neatly arranged on both sides of the path like the pages of a book.
Inspector Lee stopped there cautiously.
Old Ying asked the young woman, "Shu Hua, what is this?"
Shu Hua looked around and saw a skeleton standing in front of a metal plate. The skeleton's hands were still pressing on the metal plate, supporting it from falling.
She was very bold. She walked up to the skeleton and bowed slightly. Then, she reached out and pressed on the metal plate. In an instant, her palm seemed to have pressed on water. A circle of ripples appeared on the metal plate, and symbols appeared on it.
She turned around and said, "Elder Ying, this should be the Wall of Poetry that Elder Lu mentioned before. It's a place to pass on knowledge, praise poems, orders, and messages."
Elder Ying said, "Shu Hua, you're Elder Lu's student. You should be able to understand these things, right?"
Shu Hua looked at the symbols and said, "Elder Ying, let me try."
She reached out and touched the metal plate again. Every time she touched it with her palm, many words formed by fine crystal fragments would appear on it.
She looked at it for more than half a summer. Then, she remained silent for a long time.
The young man looked worried. He walked up and asked with concern, "Shu Hua, what's wrong? Are you okay? "
Shu Hua's body shook, and she came back to her senses. She sighed and said, "I'm fine. It's just that some things are too shocking."
Elder Ying said in a low voice, "Is it related to the thing we're looking for?"
Shu Hua nodded. She thought for a moment and looked at the skeleton. She said in simple words, "This is a record left behind by a Hellian noble before he died. He said that after the two divine items were completed, all the Hellians gathered in front of the Gate of Helai and prepared to enter the kingdom of God. However, after the gate was opened, there was no kindness, but countless evil …"
The Hellians' plan was to use the Jar of Eternal Life to prolong their lives, and then use the Chest of Wishes to create a Kingdom of Helai by imitating the World Gap. Finally, all the people would enter the kingdom to avoid the Turbid Tide.
In the words of the Hellians, all the good things in the world could imagine could be found in the kingdom of Helai.
This great vision had almost been realized.
But for some reason, something went wrong. When the gate of the Kingdom of Helai was opened, what existed inside was not the good things that the Hellians expected. Instead, countless gods and ghosts rushed out and destroyed the kingdom.
After listening to her explanation, Inspector Lee suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I would like to ask this lady a question. Since these gods and ghosts destroyed this place, then I would like to ask, have they left?"
Shu Hua shook her head. "I don't know." She hesitated for a moment. "There is a passage written in a variant language, but I can't understand it."
Elder Ying said in a low voice, "Shu Hua, is there a record of the two divine items' whereabouts?"
Shu Hua said, "Yes, the Chest of Wishes is at the end of the path. The Jar of Eternal Life is also there." She gestured with her hand and said, "But the area might be a little too big."
Inspector Lee said confidently, "We just need to know the general location. Even if my people have to dig three feet into the ground, they will find it. "
The soldiers nodded. They all had the help of the Observer. As long as the area was determined, even if the item was hidden underground, they would be able to find it.
But when they set off again and reached the end of the path, they were all stunned. "This is the Jar of Eternal Life?
Shu Hua looked ahead and said with certainty, "This is the Jar of Eternal Life."
One of the soldiers couldn't help but open his mouth wide. "But, but, which one is it?"
In front of them, there were countless jars that were half the height of a person. They stretched from the square to the hill on the opposite side. There were at least tens of thousands of them.
One of the soldiers suddenly said, "There are people inside these jars."
The soldiers were shocked. Their eyes flickered a few times as they looked into the Jar of Eternal Life. Indeed, there were people hidden inside. Every one of them was curled up as if they were in deep sleep. However, there were no signs of life on their bodies.
Shu Hua said, "These should be the people of Helia who are waiting to enter the Gate of Helia."
Inspector Lee pursed his lips. "This is the so-called 'eternal life'?"
Elder Ying said in a low voice, "Eternal life does not necessarily mean physical immortality. It depends on their understanding of eternal life."
Shu Hua pointed into the distance and said, "Elder Ying, that is the Door of Helai. According to the description on the Wall of Poetry, that is the door that leads to all things beautiful. That thing in front of the door should be the Chest of Wishes."
Everyone turned to look. There was a gentle slope that led upwards. On top of it, there was a huge and beautiful stone door. In front of the door, there was something erected. It was different from the box in their impression. It was an inverted trapezoidal metal object that was about ten feet tall. Perhaps it was more appropriate to call it a cabinet.
Elder Ying stared at it for a moment, then turned his head and ordered the ten or so creator slaves behind him, "Move these things back, be careful."
The servant asked, "Mister? Where is the Jar of Eternal Life? "
There were too many things. They could not move them all.
Elder Ying did not place much importance on the Jar of Eternal Life. To be honest, he was a little disappointed when he saw the real thing. It was different from what he had expected. "Just move a few of them back."
The servants bowed and accepted the order. Then, they split into two groups and ran out. However, when the servants who were moving the Jar of Eternal Life touched the jars, a strange sound came from the air.
The young man looked around nervously and asked, "What's that sound?"
Inspector Lee stared in the direction of the Jar of Eternal Life. At this moment, he saw something that looked like a fog of light fly out from one of the jars that was slightly lifted. With a single charge, the two Creator servants were immediately smashed into pieces.
It was a grayish-blue humanoid object. Its facial features could be vaguely seen, but its eyes and mouth were empty. Its upper body had slender arms and its lower body was just a trail of light.
It looked at everyone with its empty eye sockets. Not only that, under everyone's shocked gaze, similar objects began to appear on the tens of thousands of jars.
Inspector Lee cursed. "This is troublesome." He shouted, "Set up the formation!"
The twenty-five soldiers heard the order and formed three concentric circles. Spiritual light emerged from each of them and protected Elder Ying and the others in the middle.
It was like a signal. The objects roared silently and gathered into a sea of grayish-blue, rushing towards them from the hillside.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers were all incomparably nervous. Even Old Ying and the others turned pale.
Captain Lee shouted, "Don't panic, stay calm!"
He cursed in his heart. He felt that they were done for this time. They could deal with one of these things, but with so many of them, they would be exhausted to death.
The grayish-blue wave was getting closer and closer. However, just as it was about to crash into them, a ray of light shone down from the sky and covered them.
With a loud boom, it was as if a tidal wave had crashed into a dam. High waves were set off, and those grayish-blue things were scattered and scattered one by one.
Everyone raised their heads to look, only to see an enormous creature above their heads. It had a pair of wings that looked like a long river of starlight. The light that scattered down was endless, covering the entire front of them.
Inspector Lee's eyes widened. He seemed to have thought of something and suddenly turned his head. At the other end of the road, a young Daoist shrouded in jade light was walking towards them step by step.
