As Yan finished speaking, Qing Jian stood up and said, "Recording complete."

The previous notes automatically closed.

An Lan, standing nearby, asked, "Qing Jian, are there any records about the Pilgrim Civilization? And also records about the Yellow Springs Hand Evil God and the Returning Brigade?"

Qingjian spread her hands, and the bronze-covered book that had been floating in the air landed in her hands.

The book opens automatically and pages turn quickly.

Soon, Qing Jian shook his head: "There are no direct records, but there are records of disasters caused by death-type powers, which may be related to the Gui Wang Brigade."

An Lan nodded silently: "I understand."

Qing Jian said in a clear, ethereal voice, "Recording complete. You may leave now."

"Alright then, we're leaving." Ya'en nodded and left with Lu Ning and An Lan.

After they left the iron gate, it closed automatically.

Yaen laughed and said, "Next, let's go find the guardian who is on duty this time. Lu Ning, you can give him that eyeball to take a look."

Yaen explained that as demigods, if guardians do not deliberately restrain their power, the spiritual pollution of their divinity will spread to the surrounding area, potentially causing disease in the creatures around them.

However, if you keep holding back your power, it will definitely be quite tiring.

Therefore, the guardians on duty are usually located on the fourth underground level.

“The guardians take turns every fifty years, and this time the guardian on duty is Lord Xuanxu.” Yaen said with a hint of respect in his eyes, “Lord Xuanxu’s guardian title is Lord of Myriad Manifestations, and his abilities seem to be related to the mirror space. But I’ve never seen Lord Xuanxu take action.”

Lu Ning nodded slightly, then he remembered Bai Yuan, whom he had met before, and asked, "Where is Lady Bai Yuan?"

Arn and Anlan were taken aback. Arn looked at Lu Ning with some surprise: "How do you know about Lady Bai Yuan?"

Lu Ning said, "Lady Bai Yuan came to see me before."

Ya'en and An Lan both stared wide-eyed, their minds filled with questions.

The usually composed An Lan was dumbfounded and asked, "Lady Bai Yuan is here to see you? Really?"

Lu Ning looked at the two of them with some confusion: "You don't know? Even Lord Qinglan knows."

Yaen said speechlessly, "How could we possibly know about the Guardians' actions?"

Then, Yann's gaze towards Lu Ning changed, and he said with some surprise, "Even a big shot like the Guardian came to see you. You are indeed extraordinary."

An Lan nodded slightly.

He had already collaborated with Lu Ning twice and had long since noticed Lu Ning's unusual nature.

However, An Lan realized that she had underestimated Lu Ning's differences.

You must understand, those are guardians. They are rarely seen, and many saints may not see a guardian even once in a hundred years.

Why would someone specifically seek out Lu Ning?

It's easy to imagine that Lu Ning is very important in the eyes of such a powerful figure as the Guardian.

Lu Ning remained noncommittal, and instead asked, "What kind of person is Lady Bai Yuan?"

Ya'en said speechlessly, "If you're asking about her personality or something, how would we possibly know? But Lady Bai Yuan's guardian title is Paper Maiden, and her abilities seem to be related to paper."

Lu Ning nodded slightly; this was just as he had guessed.

Previously, Lu Ning noticed that the divine patterns on Bai Yuan's body resembled the texture of paper.

Lu Ning asked with even greater curiosity, "And what about Lord Li Yang?"

Lu Ning was most curious about Li Yang, after all, he was the first awakened one in human history and seemed to be a guardian who witnessed the transition from the old era to the misty era.

When Ya'en and An Lan heard Li Yang's name, they both looked on with reverence.

"Although the other guardians also made great contributions, I think we should still thank Lord Li Yang for the fact that our human civilization has continued to this day," Ya'en said with some emotion.

He began, "Lord Li Yang's guardian title is called the Celestial Star Orbit, which is said to be able to glimpse destiny."

"Fate..." Lu Ning nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

The elevator they are currently using only goes down to the third basement level.

You need to transfer at the third basement level to get to the fourth basement level.

Lu Ning and his group first took the elevator to the third basement level.

When the elevator arrived at the third basement level, as soon as the elevator doors opened, Lu Ning saw a very thick white fog.

Clearly, the level of mental pollution here is quite high.

However, considering that the third basement level is a containment area, this is considered normal.

The three of them left the elevator and found themselves in a wide corridor.

The corridor was made of black metal and covered with various runes.

These runes have a divine power flowing through them; there must be demigod power within them.

There are several rooms on both sides of the corridor, and at the end of the corridor are corridors leading to two other directions.

Clearly, the space on the three underground floors is quite large.

There was another elevator next to them.

There were also two ninth-level Awakened beings guarding the elevator entrance.

Upon seeing Arn and his two companions, the two Awakened Ones greeted them.

Yaen laughed and said, "Let's go find the Guardian."

One of the awakened ones also took out the mirror-shaped soul artifact that had been used to detect identities.

After checking and confirming there were no problems, the two guards released them.

The three of them got into the elevator, which also had three floors.

An Lan explained, "The fourth floor is the guardian's residence. I don't know about the fifth and sixth floors."

Yaen shrugged: "Only a few guardians know what the fifth and sixth levels are, and those two levels were even excavated by a previous generation of guardians."

"The previous generation's guardian?" Lu Ning was taken aback.

“Yes, a guardian who has already sacrificed himself.” Yann’s eyes dimmed.
