The layout of the Hall of Heroes is quite luxurious.
The steps leading down alone are inlaid with a large number of shining treasures.
Even without using any lighting equipment, the entire space is as bright as day.
After walking slowly along the stairs for about five minutes, Lin Ziluo finally saw a corridor at the end of the stairs.
The walls on both sides of this corridor are covered with portraits.
Gu Zhuang, who had been following Lin Ziluo, saw this scene and spoke seriously.
"These portraits depict the ancestors who controlled the seventy-two demon gods. They are ranked according to the time they were acquired. Each one is a hero who stands tall and proud."
Lin Ziluo nodded and glanced at the portrait in the front.
The portrait shows a handsome middle-aged man, and there are two lines of small words written at the bottom of the portrait.
"Dong Meng"
"Eight-armed giant beast - Mogu Canaan"
This guy was the first one to obtain the Demon Core and summon an eight-armed beast to kill the zombie giant.
Continuing to walk along the corridor, Lin Ziluo's eyes swept across the portraits.
Among these portraits, he saw Gu Yanlin, the ancestor of Guzhuang, and Wu Qi, the ancestor of Wu Jia...
Including the two families that previously summoned the Demon Eye Beast and the Thunder Beast - the Geng family and the Xiao family.
Soon, they reached the end of the corridor.
There was a stone door blocking the way ahead, and on the stone door were engraved three large characters: "Hall of Heroes' Souls".
"This is the real Hall of Heroes. If Wu Jia wants to preserve something, he will only put it here for safety reasons." Gu Zhuang explained.
That's true.
Even I have to use two complete sets of skills with the help of the Destruction Suit to break the Eight Demon Formation.
There is no safer place in the entire main city of Tia.
Lin Ziluo placed his hand on the stone door and pushed it open gently.
The first thing that caught his eye made his eyes shine.
Behind the stone gate is a large square room with a large number of pure white stone platforms neatly arranged in it.
There is a tray on each stone platform.
Next to the tray was a stack of leather books.
The first thing Lin Ziluo saw was the Demon Core in the tray on the stone platform in front!
Not only that, there are hundreds of stone platforms in this entire room.
Most of the trays on these stone platforms contain the cores of demon gods!
In general, there are definitely no less than one hundred Demon Cores here.
It’s killing me.
Is it true that the Demon Core is so common?
However, Gu Zhuang behind him was not surprised, but instead sighed heavily.
"What's going on, Lao Gu, why are there so many demon cores here?" Lin Ziluo asked curiously.
"Hey, the Demon Core stored here is actually called the 'Fallen Core' by us." Gu Zhuang explained.
At the same time, he pointed to the stone platform in the front and said, "Just look at the family tree on the stone platform and you will know."
This leather book turns out to be a family tree!
Lin Ziluo walked forward quickly, glanced at the Demon Core on the plate, and picked up the family tree.
At the top of this family tree is written the word "Dong".
When he opened it, he saw the "Dong Family Tree" with the words "Eight-armed Giant Beast - Mogu Canaan" written next to it.
"Dong Meng, the first being to use the Demon Core, the founder of the Demon Age, summoned the eight-armed behemoth, Mogu Ganan, on January 1, Year 1 of the Demon Calendar, to kill four zombie giants and save the pioneer's life..."
Lin Ziluo turned another page.
"Dong Ci, son of Dong Meng, inherited the eight-armed beast, Mogu Gannan, on March 6th, the second year of the Demon God calendar... On January 6th, the third year of the Demon God calendar, he died on the battlefield due to exhaustion of vitality."
"Dong Nan, daughter of Dong Meng, inherited the eight-armed beast, Mogu Canaan, on January 6, the third year of the Demon God calendar..."
......
Lin Ziluo kept flipping through the thick leather book. Every page was about the Dong family who inherited the core of the demon god "Eight-armed Behemoth - Mogu Jianan".
It can be clearly seen that everyone who has a blood relationship with Dong Meng has inherited the core of the demon god.
Most of them only lived for one or two years, and a few could live for three or four years.
Only after the high wall was built could some people survive for ten or twenty years.
When Lin Ziluo flipped through the book to the end, he saw a name called "Dong Yuan".
Behind Dong Yuan’s death, there was a line of small words written.
"Following Dong Yuan, all holders of the Dong family's bloodline died. The Demon Core of the 'Eight-Armed Behemoth - Mogu Jianan' could no longer be inherited by anyone, so it was sealed in the Hall of Heroes to commemorate the Dong family's contributions to humanity."
This is... genocide.
Because of the blood binding of the Demon Core, no one else can inherit this Demon Core.
Lin Ziluo closed the book and looked at the demon core in the plate.
There is no doubt that this is the Demon Core that can summon the eight-armed giant beast - Mogu Canaan.
Unfortunately, it is now called the "Fallen Core" because it cannot be summoned.
So, within this entire Hall of Heroes, there are over a hundred Demon Cores...
"The conditions for inheriting the Demon God Core are not that relaxed. Instead, it requires the purity of the bloodline to be maintained at a certain level."
"So, starting from the original seventy-two demon gods, plus the new families that inherited the demon god cores from those who hunted, over the years, one hundred and seven families have been completely wiped out."
"Only the last twenty or so families can inherit the seventy-two demon gods."
"Over the past three hundred years, the number of heroes who have sacrificed their lives to save humanity has been unimaginable. They sacrificed their lives to create the present-day Tia Empire."
"That's why I hate Wu Jia so much, including those family members who want to retreat. They actually want to give the land that our ancestors fought for with their lives to the zombie giants!"
"They are not worthy of being the successors of the Demon God! I believe even their ancestors would be willing to eliminate these people!"
Gu Zhuang said sadly as he looked at the dazzling demon cores in the Hall of Heroes.
This is why he wanted to leave the main city of Tia as soon as he realized that something was wrong with Wu Jia.
He knew that if he didn't go back and tell the families who were still willing to defend the high walls about Wu Jia's attitude.
Those families are likely to perish because they cannot wait for reinforcements!
