Shan Hai Jing: Evolution from Mantis

The murals contain more than that.

Although the Lord of Gold died, he also saw the purpose of Lasaka. Before his death, he integrated his power into this world, and this world could operate on its own.

No new will was needed.

It directly wiped out Lasaka's ambition!

There are also pictures of the betrayed believers living in the land of gold after everything calmed down.

Because the Lord of Gold died, the breath of resentment filled the land and turned into many hideous beasts.

The betrayed believers continued to die tragically under the beasts, but were resurrected by the curse, day after day, year after year.

After a lot of efforts, the beasts transformed by resentment died.

But the power of the Lord of Gold has been integrated into this land, making it a new and prosperous world, and many new behemoths have been born.

Over the long years, believers have been dying, reborn, dying, and reborn...

Their strength is constantly declining.

But...

Lasaka did not give up!

He tried to leave here, gain freedom, and throw himself into the arms of the Lord of Thunder.

They can't leave, but they can use the energy in the golden blood to send things away from this place.

That letter for help is Lasaka's means.

After reading the mural, Su Chen was shocked by the content of the mural, and his brows were furrowed.

"What? Did you find anything?" Tang Wei asked, noticing Su Chen's abnormality.

Su Chen nodded and pointed at the mural. "The content on this mural was obviously carved later, and after the death of the Lord of Gold."

"And who do you think could carve the mural after the death of the Lord of Gold?"

Hearing this, Tang Wei was startled, and then her eyes widened.

"Orc?"

"That's right."

Su Chen nodded and said. "If nothing unexpected happens, this mural should be carved by an orc in the orc tribe, but I don't know who it is."

As he said, Su Chen touched his chin and fell into deep thought, wondering who carved it.

Ordinary orcs probably wouldn't do such a thing. Only those who feel remorse after betrayal would do so, thinking of carving out the reasons for everything.

Just as Su Chen was thinking, the sound of footsteps came from outside the cave.

Tang Wei and others immediately turned their heads and looked over, with alert expressions.

A figure entered everyone's sight, facing everyone's alert eyes, and said bitterly. "I carved it."

"Orc?"

Seeing the appearance of the person coming, Tang Wei and others showed murderous intent in their eyes.

After all, they all knew what the orcs did from this mural. They were a group of traitors.

However, Su Chen's face showed a surprised expression. "Mad Lion?"

Yes, the orc who came was the Mad Lion.

Su Chen frowned and asked. "You didn't merge with that old thing?"

"No."

The Mad Lion shook his head and said. "When the priest and your Highness started fighting, I had already left."

As he said that, the Mad Lion knelt on one knee towards Su Chen and apologized. "Your Highness, I'm sorry for deceiving you before. This was not my wish. Please forgive me."

Su Chen's expression was calm. "Let's not talk about forgiveness for now. I want to know the reason why you carved these murals."

"Reason?"

The Mad Lion smiled bitterly. "It's nothing but regret."

"At the beginning, my mind was occupied by desire, which made me do such a rebellious thing."

"When I regained my mind, I found that it was too late."

"All I can do is to carve out the truth and atone for my sins here."

Hearing this, Su Chen was thoughtful. "Are all the murals real? So, that old guy wants to break the ban?"

"Yes."

The mad lion nodded. "The shackles on the divine skeleton are actually the shackles covering this world. It is difficult to break. Only the breath of the outside world can break it."

"When the ban is broken, we can leave here."

"Why did he want to kill us?"

The mad lion looked up at Su Chen and said respectfully. "The priest doesn't want to reveal everything here. He wants to leave here like a madman and conceal all traces of this place."

"And he intends to continue to gather the former Golden Cultists after leaving this place and throw them into the arms of his God."

"If someone reveals the news here, he will not be able to achieve his goal and will be hunted down by the Golden Cultists."

"My God

Although dead, there are still golden believers walking in the world. "

So that's it...

Su Chen nodded, this makes sense.

But...

"You appear here, I'm afraid you have other purposes, right?"

Su Chen asked calmly.

The previous golden guidance may not be from the mad lion.

Originally, he thought that the guidance of the golden light was just to let him find the murals, but now after seeing the mad lion, he had other guesses in his heart.

Sure enough.

After hearing Su Chen's words, the mad lion nodded. "I came here to meet with your highness and tell you some information."

"What information?"

The mad lion said in a deep voice. "Although we betrayed our god, because we were once believers of our god, our bodies are full of golden power. Even if our god is dead, the breath of gold still flows here, allowing us to still use it. "

"It's just that in the past, the restrictions existed, and the more we used the power of gold, the stronger the restrictions would be. ”

“After the ban is broken, the priests and others dare to use this power boldly.”

“But this power is not without cost.”

“The more golden power is used, the deeper it will be infected by gold. When the will of gold awakens, it can easily destroy it.”

“Wait.”

Su Chen was stunned and interrupted the words of the mad lion. He said in surprise. “You said...the will of gold awakens?”

“If I understand correctly, what is this will?”

The mad lion nodded and said devoutly. “Yes, it is my god, the Lord of Gold!”

Tang Wei looked puzzled. “But the Lord of Gold is dead, isn’t it? How can it be awakened?”

“Indeed, but the will of my lord still remains.” The mad lion explained.

Su Chen’s eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, and he said suddenly. “You mean...the skeleton of the god?”

“Yes. "

The mad lion nodded and explained. "I can probably feel that there is still a remnant of my Lord's will in the divine body, although it is only a wisp of will and has been sleeping. "

"But once awakened, with my Lord's hatred for us, he will definitely destroy us. "

"Even if it is a curse, it was planted by my Lord. It will not take effect in front of my Lord's will. "

The mad lion lowered his head and asked. 'So I hope Your Highness can awaken the will of my God and let my God's will kill and sacrifice them! "

Hearing this, Su Chen did not make a decision immediately, but thought about it secretly.

After a while, he looked at the mad lion and realized it. "I understand, you want to die, right?"

The mad lion raised a bitter smile on his face and nodded without denying it.

"The scene of betraying my god is vivid in my mind. I am tortured by guilt. Only by going to the underworld and experiencing the suffering of the netherworld can I atone for my sins."

"No... betraying the god I believe in... maybe I can never atone for my sins. This is an unforgivable sin..."

The mad lion murmured.

Su Chen shook his head. He didn't care whether the orcs atone for their sins or not.

He was still concerned about solving the problem of the old priest.

Apart from anything else, he couldn't beat the old priest at all with his current strength.

It was completely beyond the scope of what he was facing.

Even though he had the existence of Lianfeng, he could only break the defense of the old priest when he turned into a golden giant, but couldn't kill him.

Not to mention that he has absorbed a group of orcs now, and his strength has skyrocketed again.

I'm afraid he can't even break the defense!

Of course, if he can't kill the old priest, he won't die. In fact, Su Chen has a feeling that even if he is in human form at this moment, he can enter the insect nest world.

But if there is a way to kill the priest, it would be better.

And the method mentioned by the mad lion...

"Are you sure it will work?" he asked.

The mad lion nodded. "I am sure."

After saying that, he thought about it and said seriously. "In fact, I even think that my god may not really die, but is still alive, just watching everything in the dark."

"How can he still be alive if he is dead?" Wang Cheng curled his lips and rolled his eyes.

I am afraid he is crazy about atonement.

The mad lion shook his head. "Maybe, but sometimes, I seem to be able to feel the gaze of my god."

No one believed it.

After all, a god died under the witness of believers, and even his power was integrated into this world, how could he still be alive?

Everyone just looked at Su Chen. Although they didn't know what Su Chen had experienced before seeing them, they could hear from the words of the mad lion that the old priest of the orc tribe was very powerful now.

Even the big boss was not right

Hand, can only find another way.

Whether this method can be trusted depends on the boss's choice.

Su Chen noticed this, but he didn't care. He paid more attention to what the mad lion said just now.

"Watch?"

Hearing these two words, Su Chen subconsciously thought of the previous guidance, and his heart bulged.

"Tsk..."

"Is he really still alive?"

If he hadn't seen the golden guidance before, he would probably not believe it like everyone else.

But now, he was inexplicably a little nervous.

The golden guidance was obviously not done by the mad lion.

He didn't have that ability.

It was also obviously not done by the old priest. He couldn't do such a thing to dig his own grave.

And the Rat King and the cultists were even more impossible. The power of that guidance was obviously golden power!

Who else could do this...

Fuck, it seems that it is really possible that it is the Lord of Gold.

Wait!

Su Chen thought of something, suddenly looked up at the mad lion, and asked. "Let me ask you a question."

"Please ask." Crazy Lion said immediately.

Su Chen asked. "You said before that no creature can enter or leave the restriction until it is broken. Will the entrance to this world be displayed in the outside world?"

"No."

Crazy Lion shook his head and said. "Before the restriction is broken, it cannot be displayed, and only the approximate location can be sensed."

"Your Highness, is there something wrong with asking this?"

Crazy Lion looked puzzled.

The same was true for others.

"Nothing."

Su Chen shook his head, without explanation, but secretly took a breath.

Fuck!

Confirmed!

The Lord of Gold... I'm afraid he's really alive!

Maybe he's still looking at me now.

"The appearance of Lingxu is probably the work of the Lord of Gold. Even before the restriction was broken, we were able to enter Lingxu because of the Lord of Gold."

"Is it the plan of the sacrifice..."

He felt that all this was more like the plan of the Lord of Gold.

I just don't know what this god who was thought to be dead but is actually still alive is planning?

After a long silence.

Su Chen exhaled and made a decision.

No matter what he planned, he was a god after all, and it had nothing to do with me. I only have a few pounds of flesh on my body, so it's impossible for him to be interested in me, right?

Now, I have to find a way to kill that old thing first!

At worst, I can just hide in the insect nest and it's over!

Thinking of this, Su Chen no longer hesitated and said in a deep voice. "If what you said is true, let's go."

"I want to see if the remaining will you said really exists!"

As soon as the voice fell, Su Chen raised his foot and strode out of the cave.

After Tang Wei glanced at the mad lion, she gestured to several subordinates beside her.

Several subordinates nodded, immediately surrounded the mad lion in the middle, and followed Su Chen's pace.

Above their heads, ancient eyes stared at Su Chen in the front, emitting brilliance...
