C228 The Dark Shrine
He saw that Tieniu had dug out a lot of soil, and there was still the same thing underneath. Qingtian couldn't help but doubt his own judgment. "Could it be that I was wrong? Or was it not dug deep enough?" There was only one piece of land in the entire Dark Swamp. If there was no more, Qingtian wouldn't know what to do.
" Continue digging. Even if you have to dig three feet deep, you have to find it for me! " After saying that, Qingtian used the Earth Controlling Technique to flip the ground beneath his feet. The result finally made them feel at ease. Under a very thick layer of land, there was indeed a sturdy roof.
"Hmph! After spending so much effort from Yours Truly, I won't let you suffer any injuries. Is this still my personality!?" As he spoke, Atlas cast Herculean Power on his right foot. With a sudden stomp of his foot, a huge hole appeared in the ceiling with a boom. Everyone fell down as well.
None of them were ordinary people, even though the distance from the top to the bottom was still very high. However, they didn't get hurt much and smoothly came down. "Phew! Fortunately, we didn't fall in the middle of the hall. Otherwise, if we were to fall in when those people were praying... That would be terrible.
"Everyone, be careful. We have already arrived at the Dark Shrine. Every step we take is full of danger." Tian Qingtian, who had just come down, came to the side of the wall. He carefully observed his surroundings and said.
The Dark Shrine was much bigger than the two that Qingtian had seen before, but it was also much more sinister. Almost all of the rocks were black stones unique to swamps, and there were all kinds of patterns carved on them that looked like they were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. The house that Qingtian and the others were in seemed to be a side hall, and it wasn't a small area. Moreover, there was a huge statue erected there, and it seemed like it belonged to God of Darkness himself.
"Everyone, don't get separated. We'll try our best to stay together. This way, we'll be able to take care of each other if anything happens." After saying that, Qingtian took the lead and walked towards the main entrance. He stuck his ear to the door and carefully listened to any movements on the other side.
As expected, his luck was pretty good. Outside the side hall was the main hall. Many dark magic Masters were worshipping God of Darkness's statue, but it seemed like the real God of Darkness had yet to appear. "I don't know if Grandma is here or not. According to her personality, she shouldn't participate in this kind of worship. God knows what will happen." As he was thinking, Qingtian called Zodilos over. "They are currently worshipping. They won't care about anyone. Go in quietly and investigate the situation inside. " Zodilos nodded. He gently opened the door and squeezed into the crowd.
Everyone was wearing black robes. There was no way to tell who was who. Therefore, his appearance would not attract anyone's attention. At this time, there were only over a hundred dark mages in the hall, and the Divine Clan in Dark Shrine was nowhere to be seen. "I saw a lot of Divine Clan in Frozen Land, as well as the three great guards of Winter. However, there was not a single one in the Dark Shrine. The only thing I saw was that Tian Xing, who was also Ren Bo in the past. For some unknown reason, not only did he not die, he even came here. This fellow's identity was worthy of suspicion!
However, in a short while, the thing that Atlas had been waiting for came out. "Worthy people, I heard your call. I'm glad that you still firmly believed in the dark magic when I was sleeping. Now, I'm back. I will lead you out of your current predicament and make you the rulers of the continent! " The mages below shouted loudly, continuously calling God of Darkness 'long live' and other flattering words.
Atlas, who was behind the door, immediately sensed that something was wrong. First of all, this deep voice was not God of Darkness's voice, but a fake one. And this voice seemed familiar to him. Furthermore, God of Darkness would never say that he would allow his subordinates to become the ruler of the continent. What exactly was going on?
These people were so dark that he couldn't even find his grandmother. If he rushed in and dragged her up one by one, it wouldn't be impossible. But at that time, whether or not he could escape from the attack of such a mage would be a problem. Not long after, Zodilos returned. "Young Lord, I did not find your grandmother, and I did not see God of Darkness's true face. Nothing." Zodilos had started to call him Young Lord Tian Tian Tian.
"I have heard it. The one who spoke was definitely not God of Darkness. That voice sounded somewhat familiar, but I couldn't recall it for a moment. If God of Darkness is really resurrected and we find him, we will basically complete our mission. Grandma will also have news. As a Presiding God, she should have a very high status in this place. But right now, they had all heard of this Sovereign's resurrection, and no one had ever seen it before. And this one who spoke in his name was another person as well. If he truly hasn't been resurrected, then what is the purpose of this person? " Qingtian frowned. He really couldn't figure out the sequence of events.
"Why don't we look for him in detail and catch a guard to ask?" Zodilos asked. Yes.
"I would like to, but look at this empty divine palace. Everyone inside came from the outside. It was easier said than done to find a Divine Clan. If we go out now, that guy behind the scenes will definitely use the mages outside to deal with us. If that's the case, the happiest person would be him." Just as Qingtian was speaking in a low voice, the ceremony outside seemed to have ended. The mages left sparsely, but from the sound of it, there seemed to be only one person left. And just now, that fake Sovereign was saying something to him.
When that person spoke, Atlas immediately perked up. Wasn't this his grandmother!? Thus, he pricked up his ears and leaned against the door to listen carefully. "Linfei, how have you been all these years? Although I taught you the dark magic, I didn't expect you to improve so quickly."
His grandmother didn't seem to want to talk to him. "Didn't I kill you? Why are you still alive? Why did you cause such a thing? Impersonating God of Darkness? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the heavens? " Tian Qingtian finally understood what was going on. It seemed like God of Darkness's resurrection was planned by this guy. He actually lied to everyone, and now, Qingtian already knew who this imposter was. It was the star that had just been torn apart by those monsters!
"Truly, good people don't live long. A scourge lives for a thousand years! This guy's life is really big, he can't even kill him over and over again" However, Qingtian didn't act impulsively. Instead, he listened to their conversation from behind the door. He hoped to get something useful. Since Winter said that God of Darkness had a spiritual connection with him, he now had a feeling. There was no mistake. Let's see what trick this Heavenstar was trying to pull.
"Hahaha, the Sovereign is currently sleeping very soundly. He definitely won't be able to wake up. Even if he does wake up, he won't do anything to me! Not long ago, I had a plan, and I hope you can help me carry it out. Because it's very inconvenient for me to act in human territory.
"Let me help you, why? Just because you taught me the dark magic? Don't forget that it was because of this that I killed you. At that time, you can. I can still do it now." As she spoke, Linfei's aura suddenly increased. The power of the Spiritual God could be seen at a glance.
"Hahahaha, do you really think that I can be killed by you? At that time, I suddenly had an important matter and needed another identity. Killing me will make it easier for me to accept a new identity. Now, in my temple, do you think you have the strength to defeat me? You, the Pharaoh, are just a powerhouse among humans, facing a true god. You are still not enough. Obediently work for me. After you succeed, I will consider letting you go. Otherwise, I'll have to turn you into a puppet, and you'll be at my mercy from now on! Hahahaha..." Heavenstar laughed loudly and was very arrogant. At this time, his aura was also rising unceasingly, not only exceeding his grandmother's. Furthermore, it was still increasing.
Qingtian didn't expect this fellow to have such capabilities. This fellow's strength was much higher when he fought with him. It was about the same as Rael's at that time. However, it wasn't a problem for Qingtian, whose strength had increased tremendously.
Seeing that the atmosphere was no longer bad, Qingtian slowly pushed open the door and walked in. He smiled and said to Tian Xing, "Of course, a Divine Level can't deal with you, but what if I'm here? I don't think you'll be able to escape from me for the third time!"
