[In order to record this significant event, Emperor Zorah Ill ordered the creation of a batch of stone statues that would not easily be eroded by time, and the general course of the event was portrayed on the stone statues in the form of carvings.]
Noland Lee slowly exhaled, his emotions in turmoil.
If the carved content on this antique stone statue is true, then his previous guess might well be right.
The Dusk Giants were not an illusion; they did indeed appear in history and occurred at the end of the ancient Tatis Dynasty.
It could even be said that it was their descent from the sky that led to the demise of the ancient dynasty and the emergence of the New Empire.
Noland Lee closed the coal lamp and recalled his knowledge of history in the darkness, eager to find more clues.
First of all, in the history of the ancient Tatis Dynasty taught at City College, there was indeed a place called “Springtime Plain.”
From the current geographical map of the empire, the so-called “Springtime Plain” is precisely the Suffering Borderland where Noland Lee is currently located.
It was the most prosperous and wealthy place for the ancient dynasties, with numerous fertile lands, fertile lands, and a dense population.
Not only did the living like it here, but so did the dead.
The tombs of the nobles and royal families of the ancient dynasties were chosen in this prosperous and scenic place-
Now that he thought about it carefully, many things made sense.
The enmity between the emperor himself and the Undead Cult was ancient.
It was a chain of hatred that spanned hundreds of years, involving the tragic deaths of friends and family and the miserable experiences of countless ordinary people.
Noland Lee was so adamant because of the two words “rebel army” mentioned on the stone statue carvings.
During the reign of Zorah Ill, or the end of the ancient dynasty, the only army that could be called the “rebel army” was the one led by the modern Emperor Tatis I at that time.
It was estimated that the modern Emperor started off his extraordinary road by leading his soldiers to surround Blood Lake and seize control of the Twilight Giant’s body.
At that time, the modern emperor’s military power was not strong, and he was soon driven away by the large army assembled by Zorah Ill. He could only take away the most important things from the Twilight Giant’s body, leaving the corpse to Zorah Ill.
This perfectly explains why the emperor would possess the “Twilight Dream” and why the Undead Cult controlled a large amount of “Vitality Surge.” “Dreamscape” is obviously much easier to carry than a giant’s body.
As for why the humans of the ancient dynasty became the undead and formed the Undead Cult.
Noland Lee had the answer in his heart too.
Do not forget that the Twilight Giant was suspended in the air by the black tentacles.
The humans of the ancient dynasties were probably corrupted by the contamination of the black tentacles, causing them to fall into the undead and stand against the living.
“I’ve delayed enough time; I have to act quickly.”
Noland Lee cast aside his distracting thoughts, picked up the damaged stone statue in front of him, and placed it back in the tunnel leading to the Artifact Repository with a 408-drop orientation.
Moving back to the vicinity of the underground river, Noland Lee thought for a moment and decided to leave through the underground passage dug by the Division Intelligence Unit Two.
The reason was simple.
Division Intelligence Unit Two obviously entered the underground using the steam locomotive.
If they wanted to avoid the ocean-like undead army while driving, they must have found a safe route beforehand; otherwise, they would have perished.
This route might lead to the Division Intelligence Unit Two’s stronghold and put Noland Lee in their territory.
But it didn’t matter; once he left the undead sea above ground, Noland Lee had plenty of ways to slip away from the Division Intelligence Unit Two.
Noland Lee checked the items he was carrying to make sure he didn’t leave any clues that could expose him. Then he activated “Tracking the Living” and stepped into the dim underground tunnel.
In the black, white, and gray picture in front of him, two very clear ruts appeared, left by the wheels of the steam locomotive.
The two tire prints were also scattered with the bullet heads of silenced rifles and many bone fragments.
It seemed that even the Division Intelligence Unit Two could not avoid the attack of the metal skeletons even after getting on the car.
The further forward he went, the more skeletons there were in the tunnel, most of which were remnants left after being melted by the Bee Syrup Bombs.
A huge metal skull was stuck in a wall crack, the skull was dim and lightless, without the dark green soul light, and there was a spider-web-like crack in the center of the brow.
These were the skulls of the Big Skeletons, and they had been killed by the Division Intelligence Unit Two personnel. The other parts of the body were scattered in fragments throughout the passage.
