"Reincarnation?"
Yang Shen was taken aback. Although it was the first time he had heard the word "reincarnation," he felt that there was a huge secret hidden within it.
"But isn't this supposed to be about guarding a tomb? How did it suddenly turn into reincarnation?"
Yang Shen was puzzled, so he continued watching.
These books may have been moved by later generations, so the order is disordered, and the photos in the books are only fragments, so he needs to sort them out slowly.
Finally, when Yang Shen reached the fiftieth volume, he found some information that was somewhat useful.
In the image, a group of creatures whose faces are obscured exude boundless majesty.
The leader, a figure resembling a celestial emperor, spoke up: "Our physical bodies will be eroded, but our divine souls are immortal. We will use our divine souls to fight our way there, and then rebuild our divine bodies. Even if we fail, it will still prove that this path is correct. The reason for failure is simply that our divine souls are not strong enough..."
The video ends here.
"The physical body can be corrupted? But the soul is immortal?"
Yang Shen suddenly recalled a scene he had inadvertently witnessed in the City of Freedom.
The scene seemed to come from prehistoric times, and all the images together conveyed only one message: this era does not cultivate the physical body!
Is there any connection between the two?
Yang Shen frowned, but patiently continued reading.
Book after book, filled with fragments of photographs, without any text.
When Yang Shen saw the last book, he suddenly realized that the imposing man who had appeared at the beginning had reappeared.
In this captured image, the man's body is mangled beyond recognition, his breath weak and radiating death. He mutters somberly, "Those traitors have finally found the Lingyun Mountains. They want to destroy your remains and extinguish your hope. I could only sever the Lingyun Mountains and escape with them, but I have done my best. My soul is about to shatter, and I don't know where the Lingyun Mountains will drift to..."
The dignified man paused for a long time before speaking again: "The will of the universe has been split. The two supreme beings have conflicting ideologies. They want to fight with everything they have to gain hope, but neither outcome is something you want to see. Although I know you can't come back, I still leave you with a hope: if you can return, you must... you absolutely must be careful of the Divine Court. They are traitors!"
...
After reading all the books, Yang Shen was unable to calm down for a long time.
He quickly sorted through the order of the photos in the books in his mind and concluded that the information these books left behind was:
Countless ages ago, a group of gods abandoned their physical bodies and crossed a deep abyss with their divine souls, their purpose unknown.
The ancestors of the Zhu family lacked the courage to participate and could only help those gods protect their physical bodies with a heavy heart.
But despite guarding them for a very long time, those gods never returned.
Many years later, a group of enemies suddenly attacked Lingyun Mountain Range, intending to destroy the remaining remains of the gods. The Zhu family ancestor fought desperately to stop the enemy and took Lingyun Mountain Range away, but he himself was exhausted and sacrificed himself.
Yang Shen always felt that the information conveyed by these books was somewhat contradictory. For example, the reincarnation mentioned suddenly in the middle was not explained clearly, as if it was just mentioned casually.
"By the way, Patriarch Zhu said that some of these books were lost before. Although some have been recovered, there must still be some missing."
Yang Shen felt that those missing books must contain very important information, but unfortunately, too much time had passed and he had no way to find them.
"The ancestors of the Zhu family said that the Divine Court was a traitor. To whom was this 'traitor' being referred to?"
"Who are these two supreme beings? They are supreme beings even to the gods, so they must be incredibly powerful, right?"
What does it mean to "split the will of the universe"?
In fact, Yang Shen was also very surprised that the Zhu family, which was hidden in a mortal plane, was involved in such an amazing prehistoric secret.
...
After Yang Shen finished reading all the books, Zhu Family Head and Zhu Rong stood there in silence. They wanted to ask Yang Shen what he had seen, but they dared not disturb him.
After a long while, Yang Shen came to his senses, pointed a finger at the center of Zhu Rong and the Zhu family head's foreheads, and transmitted the scene he had just seen directly into their minds.
"Your family may be involved in some serious secrets, so it would be best if you kept a low profile in the future. Goodbye."
Yang Shen left the library directly. He had already seen what he wanted to know there. Although this raised more questions, the trip was still quite fruitful.
Inside the library, Zhu Rong and the Zhu family head finished reading the image in their minds, only to realize that Yang Shen had already left.
"Patriarch..." Zhu Rong was shocked: "Is all of this true? My Zhu family has such a terrifying history?"
The head of the Zhu family frowned slightly. In fact, he was also very confused. Although he knew that his family had a long history, this was too long, wasn't it?
Previously, they all knew that their patriarch was guarding an ancient cemetery. Later, the Zhu family thought it was their ancestral graveyard, so all the clansmen who died later were buried in that cemetery.
In the end, they discovered that it was not the ancestral grave of the Zhu family at all, but the grave of a group of gods.
Anyone would be completely baffled by something like this, right?
The ancestral graves that my family guards are actually buried with the remains of a group of gods?
However, so much time has passed that even the remains of the gods have decayed.
...
After leaving the Zhu family, Yang Shen went to the ancient tomb complex again, hoping to find some valuable information.
Unfortunately, even after scanning every grain of dust with his divine sense, he found no record of what had happened.
This time, however, he was certain that the ancient tomb complex did indeed contain the remains of deities.
Even those decayed and fossilized remains look like jade, and if you look closely, you can still sense the residual aura of rules.
"What exactly was that place that these prehistoric gods wanted to go to? It was so place that even the physical bodies of gods could be corrupted. And what was it that corrupted the physical bodies of gods?"
Yang Shen thought of the apocalyptic virus: "Could it be this kind of virus? But is that even possible?"
"Huh? Wait a minute..."
Suddenly, Yang Shen looked at the infected rocks and plants on Lingyun Continent.
"If the information left by the Zhu family ancestors is true, then this Lingyun Continent may very well have come from the Heavenly Realm."
"Are the viruses in the celestial realm really that terrifying? Even plants and stones can be infected?"
However, Yang Shen also had doubts about this, because apart from the fact that the Lingyun Continent was far more infected than other planes, it looked ordinary and did not resemble the remains of the Heavenly Realm at all.
Of course, it's also possible that because so much time has passed, the remains of the celestial continent have been suppressed or weakened by the rules of the mortal realm.
Therefore, this celestial ruins land became an ordinary plane within the mortal plane.
[The third update was around the same time as last night.]
