Xia Mi's expression at this time was extremely exciting. It was hard for her to imagine that Lu Chen and another arrogant person were exchanging business blows.

What’s even more frightening is that these two guys may really think this is a compliment!

"Okay... Brother Lu, just be happy. In short, I firmly deny the similarities between the ancient gods and the dragon clan."

Xia Mi said helplessly, signaling for Chu Zihang to continue the analysis.

Chu Zihang nodded and continued on the group channel: "What Xia Mi said is not wrong. The relationship between the old gods is not good, but they are in a state of balanced indifference to each other. There are differences between them.

There is a tacit understanding, for example, in the First Era, or the Dark Age, which was the reign of Azacheris, the other old gods did not interfere."

"How do they rule specifically? Won't they destroy mankind?"

Lu Chen wondered curiously. To be honest, he couldn't understand even the murals here. They were too abstract. Not only were the contents abstract, some of the beings on them also looked very "abstract."

He tightened Hui Liyi's hand, because Hui Liyi was under the influence of the ancient god's will at this time, and his complexion was not good-looking, so he increased the effect of the Sutra, and at the same time enveloped Hui Liyi with magic power.

"Based on the interpretation and analysis of the murals and some text contents, at least the old god who represents darkness does not want to eliminate human beings. Rather, he is indifferent to the life and death of human beings. He only cares about the long coming of night."

Chu Zihang analyzed: "According to your intelligence, Brother Lu, and what I learned in the land of steam and machinery, the old gods should be as weird as they are, with corresponding characteristics, or in other words, because the weirdness comes from the ancient

Born by the will of God, the characteristics of the weirdos are inherited from the ancient gods."

"As for the old god who represents darkness, Asacheris, his characteristic is complete darkness. In the eternal night, his power expands infinitely, so that the other three old gods are not allowed to interfere with his rule...

…”

Lu Chen thought for a moment, "That means that humans in that era couldn't see the sun? So how did they survive?"

He is not simply illiterate. He has learned some geography and astronomy in the dragon world, and knows that if a continent does not have sunlight all year round, it will be absolutely freezing, and a large number of vegetation will die, making it difficult for humans to survive.

"These things will not be recorded on the murals, but there may be records in some lost notes from the First Era. Brother Lu can look for them in Morning Embrace Church. What I want to talk about next is the second important point."

Chu Zihang continued: "The second important point is that the end of the First Era is the end of Azacheris's rule. There are many words in this paragraph that I can't understand, but a preliminary interpretation suggests that they should represent annihilation.

The old god, Nidhortar, launched the Doomsday Scourge, ending the culture of the First Age, and the era of Asacheris came to an end."

"Isn't Azacheris dead? Didn't we say earlier that his combat power expanded infinitely in the dark night? This ancient god was overthrown by him?"

Lu Chen felt a little inconsistent. Doesn't this mean that there is a clear gap in strength between the ancient gods? He originally thought that the three old gods would attack together.

"First of all, if Asacheris falls, there will be no records in the temple. Secondly, Brother Lu..."

Chu Zihang was a little helpless, "I'm not omnipotent, how could I know what was going on at that time? Besides, there are many words I don't know."

Lu Chen didn't know why, but when he heard the top student say that he was "illiterate", he felt an inexplicable pleasure in his heart. But when he thought that he didn't know a single word, that feeling disappeared again.

"According to my analysis, there are several possibilities for the end of the First Era..."

Chu Zihang continued: "The first possibility is that what is recorded on the mural is false. It was the three old gods who ended that era. It was not the end of force, but forcing Asacheris to retreat."

', this can explain why He could record all of this calmly in the temple."

"The second possibility is that what is recorded on the mural is true. It represents the death of the old god Nidhorta, who was unwilling to be ruled by Asacheris, so he took action to end the eternal night and bring an end to the First Era.

"

"The third possibility is that what is recorded on the murals is just an appearance. There may be some kind of agreement between the ancient gods. It's just that Asacheris's 'reign period' has come, and he should give up his position and be replaced by Niederhall.

The tower rules for a new era."

Lu Chen frowned while listening to Chu Zihang's analysis, "If it is the third possibility, doesn't it mean that every change of era is under the control of the old gods? Humans are just powerless.

Struggle and survive because of good luck?”

"Actually, I think the third possibility is the most likely. Otherwise, why haven't the old gods with bad relations been reduced in number so far? In the long history of every era, there is always a long 'quiet period', and then suddenly one day

Ushering in the end of an era.”

Chu Zihang analyzed.

Lu Chen pondered for a moment, "...are there any other important points on the mural?"

"Yes, the last important point is Asacheris's message on the last mural. I understand one sentence, that is, 'The long night is over, and the morning light finally appears.'"

After hearing Chu Zihang's words, Lu Chen and Eryi were both a little stunned.

Lu Chen was not sure whether the original words were true, because Chu Zihang must have gone through some literary processing after translating them, but the general idea should be correct.

As the old god who represents darkness, why would He say such a thing after ending his rule in the Dark Age?

"The long night is over" means the end of His rule, but the following sentence has a certain meaning of return no matter how you hear it.

In what form did He return?

"Why not light, but morning light?"

Huiliyi asked, wanting to confirm with Chu Zihang.

Chu Zihang was silent for a moment, "...the ancient divine language is very complicated. Sometimes one character can represent several Chinese characters that we are familiar with. My translation should be correct, because it involves characters that relate to the natural laws of heaven and earth.

, many researchers who study ancient divine languages ​​agree that the meaning of that character should be the brilliance of the sunrise. In a short translation, it can also be considered to represent the sunrise, or... morning light."

Lu Chen only felt a little numb. If the deeper meaning of these murals was really what he thought, it might not be a coincidence.

Could it be that the old god representing darkness has really returned, and he has gained "ruling" for another era, but he is no longer the old god that everyone is familiar with?

Morning Embrace Church, the god of faith, if the Morning Embrace Goddess really exists, what exactly is she?

This world has only recorded four old gods since ancient times, but no other gods have been mentioned.

If you think about it this way, as long as the gods of all faiths really exist, then he must not be a noble and sacred god, but an... old god!

"In short, Brother Lu, I suggest that you don't stay there for a long time after you finish what you have to do. After all, it is a temple built by an old god himself, and they..."

Chu Zihang paused, "But he hasn't fallen yet."

This is different from the dragons who can form cocoons and sleep. According to his research, the old gods of this world have not died, have not been sealed, and are not sleeping. They should always be watching the world.

Is it really safe to wander around the temple of such a being?

Lu Chen's heart trembled, "Let's not talk about it for now. Eryi and I will leave immediately after cutting down the guards here."

Chu Zihang was a little helpless. What he meant was, Brother Lu, you should be more cautious and retreat directly.

But after thinking about it, with Brother Lu's character, he would probably not be willing to leave without a fight. In the end, he could only say: "Brother Lu, be careful."

Lu Chen took Hui Liyi's hand and walked through the long and narrow hall into the hall at the back.

A strong wind came towards him, and noisy whispers came from Lu Chen's ears. In Lu Chen's martial arts eyes, a figure hung upside down above the Black Iron Temple.

That guy has a black wing. The texture of the wing is very strange, as if it is coated with thick mucus. It has no feathers. What is connected to the wing is something that looks like a human leg. There is a long one on the upper side of the wing without any feathers.

The white beads of his eyes were spinning in the slippery mucus, staring at Lu Chen and Eri Yi below.

The strong wind just now was emitted when it flapped its wings. It was not an attack in the physical sense. Usually, when it flaps its wings, it will cause people to fall into a state of blindness and enter permanent darkness. In the darkness, the will of the ancient god descends.

It will torture people to madness.

Lu Chen protected Huili Yi and looked at this little chic with his martial arts eyes.

【Nightfaller.Mortius】

Details: One of the superior relatives of the old god Clearapus, he grows in the dark night, descends in the dark night, and kills in the dark night.

Constitution: 164 points

Strength: 165 points

Agility: 166 points

Spirit: 171 points

Charisma: 4 points

Existence form: weird

Lu Chen was not in the mood to read the following series of passive skills and detailed characteristics. The main reason was that he was dissatisfied with a certain attribute of this guy, and it had already rushed down towards him and Eryi.

So Lu Chen raised his hand and flipped the cover down. The red mana, accompanied by the raging evil spirit, slapped Morchus into an indescribable mass.

Under the operation of the Emperor Wu Jing, Lu Chen continued to refine and suppress Morgeus, completely defeating it as a weird existence, leaving only a weird origin.

Then he stretched out his hand, and the God Eater ring appeared on his hand, swallowing up the ancient god's will and divinity of this weird origin. In the process, the God Eater ate it, causing more than half of this weird origin to dissipate.

There is nothing that can be done about it, after all, it is the ability of the equipment, and Lu Chen and the living spirits of the God Eater do not have the same tacit understanding as he does with the Regicide. Even the living spirits in the God Eater are still in a state of ignorance and lack of intelligence.

.

After all this was done, the black mass in front of him was no longer a biological or weird "living thing". He put it into the storage space and planned to help Eri absorb it when he returned.

Weird origin is not a good thing, but as long as it is absorbed as a "tonic" and does not acquire its weird characteristics, it is still a good way to improve personal attributes.

Because Eri's foundation is not high, absorbing this strange origin is enough for her to reach the level of a special night watchman.

This is also one of the reasons why so many explorers are willing to work for the Church of Morning Embrace or the Church of Eternal Night in the Land Abandoned by God. Although they are not as able to eliminate the negative effects of the strange origin as they are, their soaring growth still makes

Too many people can't refuse.

Just imagine that if you can be favored by the church and receive cross-level rewards, a special weird origin can completely enable a sixth-level explorer to grow into a seventh-level explorer in just a few years.

Of course, this process has much greater hidden dangers than serious cultivation in a world like going to Zhetian.

"Godzilla, the things in there seem to be coming over."
