Xia Chujian couldn't help but ask, "What functions does it have?"
Zong Ruoning shook his head helplessly: "I don't know either."
"That's what my grandfather just told me today."
"Your Majesty the Emperor must know the true function of the Maze Yellow Spring."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have put so much effort into sending people to search for the Green Star every year."
"So now it is also very important for us to find the maze."
"At least if we get one piece, we can counter the measures the emperor may take against us in the future."
Xia Chujian listened quietly and did not express any opinions.
After Zong Ruoning finished speaking, seeing that Xia Chujian showed no sign of being moved, he began to suspect that he was wrong. The piece of Huangquan in the emperor's hand was not handed over by her...
But she was the last one to come back, and she was the only one who had been behind that door.
It is said that if you offer sacrifices to that door, it will give you a path to the underworld...
Moreover, in the records they obtained, there was never any record that the sacrificed animals could come back alive.
Thinking of this, Zong Ruoning simply spoke frankly to Xia Chujian: "Chujian, I originally thought that you were the one who got the piece of the Maze Yellow Spring and gave it to His Majesty."
Xia Chujian smiled bitterly and said, "If it was me, then why didn't Your Majesty reward me instead of torturing me to death?"
"Is this the attitude he has towards his heroes?"
Zong Ruoning pursed his lips and sighed, "I originally guessed that because you brought back one piece, he would want more, especially to collect all nine pieces of the Maze Huangquan."
"He won't let you go because he wants to know if you're hiding anything."
Xia Chujian raised his eyebrows: "You finally told the truth."
"Actually, I really don't remember whether I brought back the Maze Huangquan or not."
"I should have remembered it before, but after being tortured by that person... my hippocampus lost its function and I lost my memory."
She pointed to her head and said, "If you had asked the imperial physician about my condition, you would know more than I do."
Zong Ruoning thought that he had no way to find the imperial physician, but his grandfather must have had a connection with the imperial physician.
So I hinted to him.
He felt sympathy for Xia Chujian's situation and said, "If you come back with us, nothing will happen."
"Because you are the only one who has been behind the door, it is conceivable that His Majesty the Emperor will not let you go."
Xia Chujian also nodded and said calmly: "Thank you for telling me this. Even if I die, I can be a clear-headed ghost."
"But that person was too eager and made things worse. He messed up my brain."
"Now it's either I die or I lose my memory."
"He can only choose one."
Zong Ruoning said, "It's better to let you live and lose your memory than to die and get nothing."
"So, Your Majesty the Emperor will definitely let you live and will not give up any opportunity to restore your memory."
Xia Chujian said, "Great minds think alike. I also want to live with amnesia, but I don't want to die and lose everything."
Zong Ruoning: “…”
I always feel that the word "hero" in Xia Chujian's "heroes think alike" doesn't refer to him...
But Zong Ruoning didn't think much about it and continued, "According to our records, the world behind the 'God's Descent Gate' is not accessible to humans."
"Humanity needs to offer sacrifices to the 'Gate of God's Descent' in order to gain His favor and grant us a piece of the 'Maze of the Underworld'."
Xia Chujian couldn't help but ask: "...Where did you get this record from? Can you show it to me?"
Zong Ruoning said, "This is a record about the maze and the underworld, passed down by the founding emperor Tan Tai Lin in his early years."
"It was probably after the imperial seal made from the maze of Huangquan disappeared along with the emblems of the four great families that he began his long journey to find the maze of Huangquan."
"He was the longest-reigning emperor of the Beichen Imperial Family. It is said that he lived for a thousand years and outlived many 'crown princes'..."
Xia Chujian couldn't help but laugh.
Zong Ruoning is quite mischievous.
This is not just "How can there be a prince for sixty years?", this is "How can there be a prince for a thousand years?"
Xia Chujian whispered, "How did Tan Tai Lin live so long? Do you have any records?"
Zong Ruoning said, "Because he is the highest level genetic evolver."
Xia Chujian was shocked: "...The highest level? S-level? Can you live for a thousand years?!"
Damn, it’s another day of envying the genetic evolvers!
And he is a high-level genetic evolver!
Zong Ruoning shook his head: "I don't know how high it is."
"I'm only A-rank, but my lifespan is at least two hundred years."
"For an S-rank, five hundred years shouldn't be a problem. Of course, if you don't commit suicide."
"To live for a thousand years, you need at least three S-ranks, right?"
