Chapter 561 - All That is Left of You Will Only Be Your Bones (1/2)

He walked into the City of Nature through the giant's head. The giant's mouth was already petrified into stones, but he could still feel the presence of spiritual energy in it.

The whole place even the divine weapons and divine golds were sucked clear of spiritual energy, yet the city gate was still filled with spiritual energy. This city might just be the cause of all the strangeness in this continent.

" Danger, don't enter. Run! ", A line of bloodly sentence was left on one of the sharp teeth, they were written by blood.

There were many skeletons laying on the ground underneath the city gate. These would be the Qi Practitioners that have found this place and written down warnings for the other comers.

No, these skeletons didn't die escaping away from the city, they died while trying to enter the city.

Zhong Yue looked at the skeletons and thought, These words don't feel like to be written by those that escaped from the city. But more like these Qi Practitioners were trying to enter the city during the imminent danger, and somehow found something that made them left the warnings down.

He walked into the city and found some words on a piece of the city wall covered by the green vines. He pulled down the green vines and looked at the words.

These words… they are written by a god's blood!

Zhong Yue's scalps tingeled. The words looked at though they were just written down moments ago, the bloods were still moving around the linings of the words. The words have unfolded a piece of history that was lost in the passing of time.

The celestial emperor heard that there was an ancient mining site discovered underneath this continent and that this place always have many bizarre things happening around. Thus, an expedition team was formed to scout it out.

When the gods reached to the front of this city, they have discovered that this city was built at least thirty-six thousand years ago. They were all overjoyed and quickly passed their findings to the celestial emperor.

Celestial emperor? 36,000 years ago? , Zhong Yue mumbled. He was startled by the word 'celestial emperor'. Could it be… Bi Xie Celestial Emperor from 50,000 years ago?

This city was built 86,000 years ago? It belongs to the time after the great changes in the universe? It was built during the time where all histories are covered, hidden and lost?

Zhong Yue's heart shuddered greatly. The history of Ancestral Star was completely blank during the period between 50,000 years ago to 100,000 years ago. During that period of lost history, there were the gods, there were the civilizations, but there just weren't any records about it left behind. It was only until Bi Xie Celestial Emperor has came from the Zi Wei Galaxy to the Ancestral Star, then only there were the records of history happening ever since.

Thus, to the Qi Practitioners in the Ancestral Star, what happened during that period of 50,000 years was totally unknown!

Hence, the Ancestral Star Qi Practitioners have known that period of time as the "Dark Age".

In order to continue his research in the sixth wheel, sixth secret realm, Feng Xiaozhong has even went on to search for the tombs of the gods that originates from that era!

However, Zhong Yue knew that period of time was an age of chaos that comes right after the destroyal of the Six Paths Reincarnation in this Six Paths World. Which was also the period of time where the Fuxi Celestial Race changes toward the human race.

A glorious sovereign race that has fallen from the summit of the power pyramid to the most humble status they were in now. It all happened during that period of time, during the Dark Age!

He continued reading the words. It says that the gods under Bi Xie Celestial Emperor have discovered that the city was closely related to a huge secret. Inside of the city, they have found many tombs of the ancient gods and discovered many ancient secrets.

With the number of tombs they have explored growing larger in number, the occurrences of strange events grew more frequent as well. There were the gods that died mysteriously in all sorts of ways, and a peculiar wave of energy that ambushed them. The energy was strong and powerful, yet mysterious in origins.

But the celestial emperor has gave his order, none shall ever turn back.

Hence, the more they stray around in this ancient city, the more secrets they have found, and more gods have died in here.

Finally, they have reached to the core of the City of Nature. There, they saw something soul-terrifying and it was at that moment, they knew everything they needed on this ancient city.

A disaster fell upon the continent and they tried to escape. Many gods died on the spot and along the way. They were the last survivors and were able to made it to here. But even so, they found themselves out of ways to escape.

The last sentence written on the wall was, " Once you enter this gate, there will be no turning back. And when the Disaster arrives, all that is left of you will only be your bones ."

Zhong Yue startled, he mumbled puzzlingly, "No turning back? You can't get out?"

His heart suddenly twitched and he quickly looked back at the city gate. Unfortunately, the gods were right, the city gate has been closed tight and there was no way out anymore!

Zhong Yue stomped his feet and flew up into the sky. But no matter how high he flies, the city wall would grow as tall as him. It was impossible for him to fly out from above the city wall!

Cold sweat burst out from his forehead and he landed down on the ground. He has never noticed when did the city gate closed. For such a huge city gate to close itself, it would definitely cause a loud activity which Zhong Yue could never be able to miss out in his senses!

With that being said, there was only possibility left.

From the outside, the city gate is open but when you are in here, the city gate is closed! The only reasonable explanation is that this city, was in fact, a huge seal that one can only enters and can't exit!

Zhong Yue clenched on the green vines around the city wall and pulled them out from the ground. The earth tumbled up and a huge skull was revealed to be buried beneath.

He pulled harder and more of the vines were uprooted. Soon, the skulls and skeletons of the dead gods could be seen buried right underneath in here!

Zhong Yue's heart throbbed heavily. The road to return was cutted off and the gods that have been here were also dead, there were no known survivors that have left this place at all!
