Chapter 109
"...It's so quiet." Cheng Fu had this feeling since she set foot in this temple.
This ruin is so quiet!
Not to mention that there was no one else besides them. Compared with the temple of Signus which was always crowded with people, this place seemed much more lonely.
But apart from the crowds and ruins, Cheng Fu always had a feeling... that this ruins was different from other ruins.
Other ruins, even those with ordinary guardian beasts, can be felt to be full of life as soon as one enters.
Just like the original ruins were dim, but as soon as someone stepped in, the lights or torches on the wall would gradually light up, illuminating every inch of their way forward.
But what about here?
No matter how dark the room was originally, it was still just as dark after entering. Only a few rays of sunlight came in from outside, but they could only illuminate the part close to the outside. Going further in, it was still a darkness that seemed to swallow people up.
"Why do I feel that this relic is weird?" Xiao Wanyi snapped his fingers. Since there were no lights in the relic, he took the initiative to light up all the torches on the wall.
"I can't sense the presence of the guardian beast or the contaminants..." Phil frowned, even doubting for a moment that it was his own fault. "You guys can't sense the guardian beast or the contaminants either?"
Kelleher shook his head. "There's nothing here."
It was not just quiet, they didn't even sense the slightest breath of any living thing.
As for the situation of the Temple of Divine Beasts, Signus and Olenus were the ones who knew the most about it.
"If there are no pollutants, that's normal. After all, the guardian beast is long gone." Olenus said as if it was a matter of course.
"Gone? Where did it go?" Ying Xue couldn't understand. Since neither of them was there, how could there be a temple here?
Signus looked at the temple, as if looking through it, into the distant past: "When the apocalypse arrived, the planet protected its people. The divine beasts were different from other guardian beasts. They were born to protect the planet. At that time, their bodies were destroyed to protect 'him', and naturally there were no corresponding pollutants. Only the empty shell of the temple was left."
Wen Gengting looked at the several forked roads and the corridors that seemed to extend far into the distance. No matter which road he took, there was no end in sight. "Without the guardian beasts and pollutants, we can't sense their presence. Naturally, we can't find the hall where the murals are located as we did before."
Just as Cheng Fu was thinking, why don’t we split up and find the way out individually?
But on second thought, if there is no means of communication, it will be difficult to reunite even if we act separately.
Just as she was still thinking about what to do next, a figure moved.
"Go this way." The speaker was Xi Qiancheng.
He led the crowd in front of them, moving towards a certain place with great confidence.
Xi Qiancheng was only concerned with walking on his own path, not caring at all whether anyone was following him.
"How do you know which way to go?" Xiao Wanyi felt that Xi Qiancheng was talking nonsense!
To impress Cheng Fu, he didn't even pretend. He just picked a random direction and walked. He could do it if he wanted! Wouldn't he find the way after walking? It was just a matter of time!
Ying Xue thought for a moment and said, "Since I don't know which direction to go, I might as well just follow."
If he takes the wrong road and delays everyone, wouldn't that be a good opportunity to dampen his enthusiasm?
The others had no other ideas, so they followed Xi Qiancheng forward.
At first, they all thought that Xi Qiancheng just wanted to show off, so he randomly chose a path and led them forward.
But as they walked, they gradually realized that something was wrong.
Xi Qiancheng seemed to know the huge temple of the divine beast very well. He didn't even have time to think about where the fork in the road was or where to turn left. He just walked away.
At first, no one took his leading the way seriously. They just thought that since they had to make this journey anyway, it didn't matter who led the way.
But as they walked, when they finally reached the hall, everyone looked at each other with unspeakable surprise in their eyes.
"How did you know to go here?" Phil was quite surprised.
If he were to lead the way, he might not be able to lead people to the right location in such a short time.
But what about Xi Qiancheng?
From the moment he walked forward, Phil had been mapping out the direction in his mind, intending to wait for Xi Qiancheng to take the wrong path. Then, when they walked forward, they could proactively avoid it and save time.
However, in fact, from Phil's judgment, Xi Qiancheng did not take any wrong path, which was why he was able to find the hall directly in such a short time after entering from the door.
But, is this possible?
"Have you been here before?" Wen Gengting also began to feel that something seemed wrong.
But in response to their questions, Xi Qiancheng just shook his head: "I don't have the impression of being here, but..."
As he spoke, Xi Qiancheng frowned and surveyed everything here: "Every place in the temple feels strange yet familiar. Even I can't explain this strange feeling."
This is clearly the first time I've been here.
It's clear he's never been here before.
But everything in front of him seemed familiar to him.
It was like the scene he often dreamed of appeared directly in front of him, but Xi Qiancheng himself was very sure that he had never had such a dream.
But Cheng Fu went there to look for the murals at first sight.
Her origins and the past of this planet have been lost in history, and all that remains is what is recorded in the temple murals.
But when she saw the mural, Cheng Fu was stunned: "How could it be..."
Cheng Fu was so stunned that everyone else temporarily put aside Xi Qiancheng's weirdness and followed Cheng Fu's direction to take a look at the mural.
As soon as they saw the pattern above, they immediately knew where Cheng Fu's astonishment came from.
The same planet crystal cluster, and the same person walked out of the crystal.
But unlike the person in the Temple of Signus, that was not the star she had seen in her dream, nor did it look like an adult man.
The person who walked out of the mural in the Temple of Divine Beasts also had long hair, but it was obvious from her figure that she was a woman.
Moreover, her face was very familiar to everyone present.
After the others were stunned for a moment, their first subconscious action was to look in Cheng Fu's direction.
It was because the person walking out of the planet's crystal cluster in the mural represented the human form of the planet's will, and his appearance was exactly the same as Cheng Fu's current appearance.
"How could it be... like this?"
Cheng Fu didn't understand, but she heard Signus say, "The murals in each temple have a certain order. The one in my temple isn't the first, but the last. And this one is the very beginning."
