Chapter 853: Erased Memories (1/2)

“The cosmos is the world of the realm monsters?” Lu Yun frowned slightly. “There’s a star map in my consciousness, but no realm monsters are labeled on it.”

Many hotspots of danger and safe zones were marked on the map, and there were even details of what exactly could be found in each area. The only thing that was missing was any mention of realm monsters.

“A star map?! You’ve seen mother??” A faint light flashed through the suncrow’s dim eyes. “Since mother’s given the map to you, that means you have the strength to enter the cosmos. You may pass.”

The figure that was the suncrow’s body slowly faded away.

Lu Yun heaved a long sigh of relief while Bai Zhaoju cast him a surprised glance. He hadn’t thought that Lu Yun would’ve made the acquaintance of Taiyi’s empress!

Lu Yun paused at the end of the passage without immediately pressing forward.

“White Emperor, I remember that when I first met you, you told me that the great monster beneath the earth is Yi’s body. But upon coming here, we’ve discovered that Yi’s corpse actually doesn’t exist anymore. So… what is that thing then?”

He’d previously tried to travel through the earth to avoid a flock of Bi Fang, but had been startled out of that plan by a shocking entity below ground. Bai Zhaoju had told him that it was the Great Yi’s corpse.

Bai Zhaoju started when he heard the question. “But, isn’t it the great god’s corpse? What we learn in the great wilderness is that the Great Yi’s resentment didn’t disperse upon his death, so his corpse turned into a zombie spirit and stands at attention beneath the ground, ready to do battle with Taiyi at any moment…”

He cut himself off, reminded of the murals that they’d just viewed. Taiyi and the Great Yi had jointly defended the world against the realm monsters, and those monsters were the real culprits responsible for Yi’s death. Therefore, that proved the great wilderness legends false.

“If it’s… not the Great Yi’s body, then what is it?” Bai Zhaoju looked lost.

“Yeah, what is it then?” Lu Yun frowned. “What’s the entity fighting Luo Houluo now? It’s definitely not a ghost formed of resentment…”

He’d deduced that what lay beyond the stairs wasn’t the cosmos, but the hero’s barrow of the Great Yi. His treasured bow was likely to be found there as well.

But now, Lu Yun hesitated.

If all of Suncrows Plain was a tomb, then what he’d seen below the earth was very likely in the tomb ahead of them. He and Bai Zhaoju wouldn’t be its match at all. The suncrow spirit they’d seen just now was a dead entity as well. There was just the tiniest bit of sentience left to it; it didn’t possess the ability to think anymore.

Tinkle.

A clear, pleasing jingle rang out from Lu Yun’s robes as the little fox shot to his head.

“I know who he is, we can go in. He won’t hurt us.” The Bell of Chaos glowed around her neck.

“Who?” Bai Zhaoju asked subconsciously.

“It should be the first connate god who died in Suncrows Plain,” the little fox responded softly.

“Kuafu?” Bai Zhaoju blinked.

The little fox nodded. That war had had enormous ramifications and dragged in a dozen connate demon gods. Kuafu had been the first casualty.
