Chapter 336: Sorry for Stepping on Your Pain (2/2)

”Beautiful Unique Pool Peak? Sun G.o.d Stone?” Listening to these two completely unfamiliar names, w.a.n.g Lu could not help but find them strange. He then looked back towards Aya. As the scholar of Western Continent, if there was something strange in this land, it would not be wrong to ask her.

Aya recalled, ”Golden King's era happened too long ago. During which, there are many changes in the continent, there are many changes in the terrain, and also, the name of many places has become completely different. There are four or five places that have the name Beautiful Unique Pool Peak, but if I remember it correctly, the most famous one is located in the wild land far farther compared to the highland of th.o.r.n.y ice. It's a place of countless wonders and mysteries, but, even I know very little about its specific details.

The stone gate said, ”If you want to know about the Beautiful Unique Pool Peak, then take a careful look at the murals here. They recorded everything about it.”

With that, a ray of light bloomed out, which lit up the entire murals on the stone gate and the stone walls. Thousands of murals, as if alive, rotated in front of w.a.n.g Lu to form a moving image. At the same time, the stone gate issued a dull sound as the narrator.

”Tsk, so this is actually the original version of film doc.u.mentary?”

The murals told the story that happened more than tens of thousands years ago, when Golden King had not fully ruled the continent, and the Golden Kingdom had countless enemies in every direction. At that time, the Golden King raised an army for expeditions. His legions were invincible, yet there were quite many struggles here and there.

One of the battles could be described as the one that decided the fate of Golden King. After thirteen consecutive wins, Golden King was about to withdraw his weary army. However, in the Golden Kingdom, his ally suddenly turned against him and, taking advantage while Golden King and his army were still on the expedition, launched a surprise attack towards the capital. Suddenly, the Golden Kingdom was in imminent danger.

At a time of distress, Golden King resolutely decided to leave his army and return to the capital alone. Returning alone would be much faster, but also more dangerous.

At that time, many people thought that Golden King was insane and suicidal. However, it turned out, it was his most courageous and wise decision. By acting alone, he arrived on the Capital faster than the enemy. By virtue of his prestige laid for many years, he quickly set up an army and waged a desperate struggle against the enemy. During this battle, he personally went to the front line and killed the enemy commander and laid the victory. Then, his legion marched in and wiped out the ally who betrayed him and burned his kingdom in flames. However, Golden King was not satisfied, for the man who personally ordered the attack on his kingdom did not die but fled to the wild land along with his personal guardians.

The wild land was a dead end, but he would rather die than fall into the hands of Golden King. However, Golden King was unwilling to let him off. He would rather risk the same risk, by going into the wild land, to catch his enemy. It was a battle against death. The two sides rushed into the land of death. The more they went into the wild land, the more sinister the environment was, for it was the absolute unknown that no one had ever explored.

The enemy of Golden King was one of the most adept at escaping in the Continent. Golden King did not know how long the chase was before he finally caught him and punished him with the most brutal means.

The murals described the brutal means of Golden King in details. Obviously, this was one of Golden King's deeds that he was most proud of, which showed how he reversed the tide, leading the army in the city to defeat the enemy in the wars, which merely used two or three pictures. However, the story did not end there. When the enemy was tortured, on the verge of death, he made a bold move.

The gray stone gate tried to imitate the enemy's tone in a dull and rigid voice.

”Gil, do you think you've conquered everything? Do you think your power covers the whole continent? Open your eyes and see! Look around us, look at those endless distance, and the mountains that pierced the sky! Before, we never even knew that there was a vast piece of land on the continent! This is a mysterious and strange land, and you, as a small, humble mortal, can never conquer everything! This continent is far more vast than you think, and you are far from being so supreme as you think!”

For this provocation from the enemy, Golden King gave his highest sounding tone response.

”Ridiculous b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you actually dare to question my authority? This land, no matter how vast it is, is just my backyard. And if there's a strange corner in my back garden, I will conquer it.”

”Gil, you are always so radiant, always so confident, as if everything in the world is in your control. Unfortunately, that is just an illusion. You are just a mortal. Compared to this world, your life, your everything, is insignificant, you can't conquer everything… Gil, how about this, if you can conquer that mountain, I'll tell you why I betrayed you.”

”I don't care about the excuse of the b.a.s.t.a.r.d.”

With that, Golden King crushed his head, and then turned his gaze towards the mountain that was hidden behind the cloud.

”But, nothing in this world can be separated from my rule… the mountain that hides behind the sea of clouds, you will be mine.”

At the end of the story, the murals described how Golden King weathered the sea of clouds and climbed to the peak of the mountain. Golden King then picked up a magical gem at the top of the mountain. The power of that gem then granted him the immortality, which thoroughly laid out his future achievements. That mountain was then regarded by the Golden King as the symbol of the omnipotence of his royal power, named after the ancient paramount of Beautiful Unique Pool Peak.

”Challenger, follow the king's footsteps, climb the mount Beautiful Unique Pool Peak, and pick up the Sun G.o.d Stone. Of course, you must do all of this before your challenger.”

With that, the image of the murals disappeared completely, and the stone gate also went silent.
