Chapter 382: Chapter 362: The Method of Awakening God Su
South of the Ouden Continent, the Terrara Church State.
In the vast and boundless desert, stood ancient and mysterious pyramids that seemed to be the guardians of time, silently narrating the splendor and vicissitudes of ancient Terell.
The desert was filled with yellow sand sweeping through the sky, the sun blazed like fire, and the pyramids were scattered throughout the vast golden sea, each with a pointed tip reaching up to the sky, as though they could touch the heavens and converse with the sun, moon, and constellations.
Under the illumination of the Blazing Sun, the surfaces of the giant stones of the pyramids flashed with dazzling light, sometimes golden, sometimes silvery white, changing unpredictably and overwhelmingly beautiful.
The Terrara Church State was a realm that only revered the Blazing Sun. Its “Temple of Sun” within the Sun Church was actually a separate branch, and to this day is one of the few within the True Gods Church that still recognized the system of slavery.
Those pyramids were known as the “Palace Approaching the Blazing Sun.”
Throughout history, only the Monarch powerful experts of Terell and beings even mightier had the privilege to rest within these pyramids after death.
Despite thousands of years of erosion by wind and rain, these massive structures still stood tall. Every stone had been meticulously carved and fitted together perfectly. Surrounding them was an endless yellow desert and the occasional oasis.
The stars shone brightly, the Milky Way hung low, and those pyramids seemed to become bridges connecting heaven and earth.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man with only one intact arm emerged from a massive pyramid, his short hair silvery white, dressed in white clothes, and wearing single-lens glasses.
That was Karno.
Karno Fischer.
He was covered with wounds, swaying as if he had just endured an extremely fierce battle.
Karno took a deep breath and slowly raised an arm-sized black stone tablet he was holding, finally revealing a smile on his face.
It was something he had obtained from the pyramid, narrowly escaping death. If not for the effect of “Premonisher” from Destiny’s Trajectory that allowed him to avoid most dangers in advance, Karno would have certainly perished.
Nine years ago, Karno left the village he had observed for a long time and began to travel around the nations of the Ouden Continent, seeking ways to awaken the great Lord of the Lost.
Finally, three years ago, he arrived near this pyramid and through prophecy spells and intelligence gathering, learned of an important local legend.
Karno turned his head to look at the huge pyramid that had been abandoned for a long time.
As night fell, its outline was made clearer by the moonlight.
The High Priest within this pyramid, actually active nearly ten thousand years ago, was a legendary figure who once formally entered the Heavenly Enlightenment Level.
Back then, the Blazing Sun had fallen asleep due to an evil force, and the whole world had plunged into utter darkness.
This High Priest was a saint of the Sun Church, sacrificing himself to awaken the slumbering Blazing Sun and bringing light back to the Claud World.
Although nearly ten thousand years have made history ever more silent and left little of his legend, and even the name of this pyramid was unknown to everyone, it was nevertheless discovered by Karno, who had mastered the ability of prophecy.
It took him another full three years to figure out a way to enter the pyramid.
Karno looked again at the black stone tablet in his hands, completely unable to comprehend the twisted and changing strange characters upon it.
But he still shook his head, it was the only thing he had brought out from the pyramid, and perhaps it recorded a way to wake the great Lord of the Lost.
Karno slowly looked toward the east, knelt on the ground, and prayed calmly.
His breathing was even and deep, each breath seemingly resonating with the rhythm of the cosmos, gradually releasing the clutter and tumult of his heart, leaving only purity.
“Great Lord of the Lost, please protect my family, the Fischers shall live up to their name.”

In Nasir City, at Fischer Manor.
The aged Lilian lay serenely on the bed, her body unmoving beneath the covers, while a Spiritual Dragon half the height of a person lay beside her, its face full of sorrow, whimpering like a pitiful puppy.
“Father… You’ve come again.”
Byrne, who appeared even younger than his aged daughter, sat beside Lilian, holding one of her hands, silent and speechless.
Byrne’s heart felt as though it was engulfed in endless darkness, a profound despair beyond what words could describe.
His eyes flickered with reluctance and sadness, each gaze upon his daughter’s face, slowly losing its luster, was a cruel tear at his soul.
