Chapter 333 - The Past (1/2)
Wang Ling found himself inside a single path that leads to who knows what. He tried to look where this will lead and Wang Ling failed to do it. No matter what he does he can't see the end of the room.
Behind him was a wall. A dead-end and without anything to do, Wang Ling started walking. He tried flying but he can't, it seems like something was hindering his ability to do so.
At first he was walking, but soon after he picked up and the pace and ran with all his might. The Gray Figure remained silent, it was observing the situation and when it finally got the grasp of the space around them, the Gray Figure finally spoke, ”We are inside the Temple, but I can feel fluctuations in space beyond this one, be careful. Also, you are still prohibited from using your Angelic Qi, we are still in the Lower Heaven after all. But Hellish Qi, you are allowed to go all out.”
Wang Ling liked hearing that and he unfurled his wings and like an arrow, he flew towards the end of the passage. Flying using one's wings is not dictated by qi, he was at a total advantage right now.
Wang Ling flew to the end of the passage with ease, he met no guardian or anything of the like and when he got to the end he found himself in a dark room. It was pitch black, no one would be able to see anything if it wasn't Wang Ling who was in there.
He observed his surroundings and caught sight of a statue on the side. It was the statue of a Black Dragon and its detail was impeccable. Amazingly crafted, and the qi surrounding it was dense. It was more than five meters in height and Wang Ling found its size relatively small when he remembered the Black Dragon right outside the temple.
As if he was in some sort of ancient cove, Wang Ling looked around some more. And as he observed his surrounding more, he found that the room he was in was circular like a dome and on the walls, and ceilings there were etchings of what seemed to be a man against a Beasts and the other races.
There were numerous kinds of drawings scattered around and most of them were about a grand battle against beasts and the other race. But what got Wang Ling's attention the most were the engraved symbols on the wall. They were written as so to seem like nonsense but when Wang Ling observed it, the nonsensical symbols transformed into words he understood.
[These symbols are kind of weird, but they resemble the words of the Hell and Heaven Walls. Is this a part of history?] He read the symbols on the walls in secret. [”The Dragons d descend as Chaos and death finally spread throughout the land. The beasts and the divine fought as the Creator watched in sadness as its creation fought for supremacy. And so, the first war erupted in —”, Cut off? Tsk, bad timing!]
Wang Ling wanted to learn more but this was halted all of a sudden as the symbols disappeared entirely. The drawings too had ended, had gone full circle and no more information appeared for Wang Ling to learn.
He wanted to see what more there is to the war but it was cut short. The Gray Figure remained silent throughout. He had thought it would say something regarding the words on the wall but it seems like it was going to stay silent this time.
[Maybe he knows nothing about this specific past. Is it the case just like the rest?] He asked himself.
But little did he know that it was merely silent because it was glaring at the symbols on the wall. Just like Wang Ling had deduced the Gray Figure know nothing. It did not know the words that was being uttered and it did not know what kind of war it was talking about.
But staring at the images, the Gray Figure was torn. These images for whatever reasons are making the Gray Figure waver from its original goal. The goal was to create the perfect successor who will rule the world beyond Heaven and Hell and unite everything under one banner just like before.
