Chapter 132. Entering the Divine Tomb, let's see...
The moment the notification screen appeared, the milky white energy surrounding Lin Xiaoxiao enveloped her, forming a small energy whirlwind.
Lin Xiaoxiao raised her hand expressionlessly and tapped lightly: [Yes]
The next second, a playful child's voice rang out: [The Tomb of the Gods is opening 1%, 2%...]
Just as the Divine Tomb opened, everything outside the energy vortex seemed to freeze, except for Lin Xiaoxiao, who was standing inside the energy vortex and could move.
She turned her head and saw Xiao Wei standing motionless, looking at her with worry in his eyes;
The black cat carried a shrunken Sicily curled up asleep on its head, looking like it wanted to yawn but dared not move.
Even the smoke formed from the melting ice crystals was frozen in time as a still image.
The child's voice appeared again: "[The Tomb of the God of Prophecy has been successfully opened. Welcome to the Tomb of the God of Prophecy. We wish you a pleasant journey.]"
Before she could finish speaking, a large hole, more than a meter wide, appeared beneath Lin Xiaoxiao's feet, shimmering with a milky white light.
He quickly fell into that bottomless hole.
Accompanied by a strong wind and a feeling of weightlessness, after an unknown amount of time, Lin Xiaoxiao fell onto the familiar asphalt road with a 'thud'.
"Oh no! Someone jumped off a building! Call 120 quickly!"
"I recorded a video on my phone. I asked someone to call 110 for me. I didn't want to be extorted by them after we helped them."
"Yes, yes, I'll record it too, bro. I'll be your witness."
...
The voices of strangers all around her made Lin Xiaoxiao feel dizzy, and it took her several minutes to slowly sit up from the ground.
Unexpectedly, after she sat up, the people who had dared to gather around her all looked like they had seen a ghost, and retreated several meters away with wary eyes. Some of them even turned pale with fright.
After a long while, a young man with dyed blond hair tentatively asked, "You, you, you, are you a human or a ghost?"
Lin Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, her gaze coldly fixed on the young man: "I am a human being."
The young man stammered, "How is that possible? I saw you fall from the 12th floor, and you were still able to sit up."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao's first reaction was to frown and refute the popular science: "As long as a professional has reached the fourth level, let alone falling from a height of tens of meters, even if they fall from a height of hundreds of meters, they will not die. At most, they will just be injured."
Immediately afterwards, everyone present looked at her as if she were a madwoman, and a madwoman at that, who was playing games and couldn't distinguish between reality and virtuality.
Then, deep frown lines appeared between her brows. She carefully examined everything around her, and the surprise in her eyes became more and more obvious. Her breathing also became heavier and heavier.
This architecture, this clothing, this level of technology... it looks so much like the style favored by the Dragon Kingdom's human race during the period before the cataclysm began.
With the 'beep beep' of the ambulance.
Lin Xiaoxiao was lifted into an ambulance and underwent a thorough examination from head to toe in a hospital that had existed for thousands of years.
The medical equipment here couldn't even detect that her right leg was a special prosthesis.
The middle-aged female doctor, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, had her face scrunched up like a bitter gourd, and kept flipping through the examination report in her hand.
A moment later, the doctor turned to her assistant, a young man in a white coat, and asked, "That's impossible. She's in perfect health. Xiao Li, did you bring the wrong person back?"
How is it possible to fall from the 12th floor and not even get a scratch?
The young man named Xiao Li glanced at his teacher, then at Lin Xiaoxiao who was looking around, and swallowed hard: "That's right, it's her."
Lin Xiaoxiao was unfazed by the probing gazes of the master and apprentice in front of her. Instead, she looked around with great interest at the familiar old-fashioned hospital decor.
After waiting for a long time, she had seen enough and asked softly, "Doctor, since there's no problem, can I leave now?"
As if waking from a dream, the female doctor quickly replied, "You can leave after you've paid."
Lin Xiaoxiao, who was getting up and about to leave, nodded: "Okay, where do we pay the bill?"
When she arrived at the payment counter on the first floor, her face froze instantly when she heard the staff sitting behind the window say that she needed to pay 13,229 yuan (including examination fees and ambulance dispatch fees) in Chinese currency.
Dragon Kingdom Coins? She has silver coins, gold coins, purple gold coins, and experience coins, but no Dragon Kingdom Coins.
Then, feigning composure, she took out twenty gold coins from her pocket (space) and placed them on the counter of the payment window: "Can I pay with these?"
Facing the bewildered staff member behind the window, Lin Xiaoxiao guiltily touched her nose with her fingertip.
Not long after, Lin Xiaoxiao was invited to the police station for questioning. She knew nothing about the situation and her household registration could not be found. She stayed in the police station's temporary detention room for eight days.
During this period, even the maintenance of the prosthetic limbs was carried out secretly under the cover of night, with a barrier set up to conceal it from others.
On the ninth day, after a series of checks, Lin Xiaoxiao, who had no relatives, was an orphan, and was an unregistered resident, stood at the entrance of the police station with her temporary identity certificate and the twenty gold coins that had been returned to her, looking at the blue sky and white clouds.
She sighed helplessly, "What kind of mess is this?"
The body's intelligence could not be contacted, and the spirit library could not be opened. The communication module turned gray. If it weren't for the fact that I could still see her job panel and the space could be used normally.
She wanted to believe that Xiao Weizhi, leveling up, Hunter God's War, Black Abyss... it was all a dream, a special world she imagined due to her mental breakdown.
Lin Xiaoxiao first went to a second-hand recycling shop and exchanged more than 30 gold coins for tens of thousands of yuan in Longguo currency.
After paying off the previous debts at the hospital, I rented a small apartment through an agency and temporarily settled down in the city.
Over the next three years, Lin Xiaoxiao traveled all over the planet but found no clues left by the God of Prophecy.
Until she witnessed the catastrophe, watching the sky being torn apart by a pair of invisible hands, revealing dark and twisted spatial rifts.
Many strange-looking monsters emerged from the cracks and began unleashing their skills before even landing, indiscriminately causing destruction and slaughter.
The streets were devastated by the bombing, filled with cries for help. Severed limbs were buried in deep pits of rubble, and monsters roamed the streets, devouring anyone they saw.
Lin Xiaoxiao fought for several days and nights, but only managed to save the lives of the people of the Dragon Kingdom in her city; countless others in other cities still suffered heavy casualties.
For a long time afterward, she followed the Dragon Kingdom army, traveling to the front lines of rescue efforts, and witnessed what happened from the first year of the cataclysm to more than 100 years after the cataclysm.
I also saw Omniscience, who had not yet become a god and still had a human appearance.
Back then, he was a young man with two dimples when he smiled, a baby face, curly hair, and a particular fondness for reading.
Watching these human ancestors, step by step, go from having nothing, exchanging a hundred people for one beast; to obtaining job change stones and becoming professionals; and then to the emergence of the Age of Gods, fiercely fighting back to protect their homeland...
Watching Quan Zhi and the others, the original agents of the gods, become true gods, fight against the foreign gods, and then fall one by one...
As the god of prophecy fell, the sky shattered, and gradually everything that could be seen—professionals, monsters, the environment, and so on—dissipated into scattered specks of light in the air.
When all these changes occurred, Lin Xiaoxiao was still in the position of slashing at the monster with her lightsaber.
The bloodstains on her body turned into scattered specks of light and disappeared into the air. Her clothes, tattered from the battle, were transformed into the clothes she wore on the first day she landed in the Dragon Kingdom as the specks of light clung to her.
A moment later, Lin Xiaoxiao appeared in a boundless space.
Inside the space, many milky-white energies playfully gathered together, changing shapes from time to time, looking like clouds floating in the sky.
In the very center of this space, there is a bed, surrounded by bedside tables, wardrobes, bookshelves, desks, chairs, and other furniture.
Judging from its placement, it appears to be a room where a woman lives.
Lin Xiaoxiao walked in, her gaze slowly sweeping over the furniture around her.
A moment later, her gaze fell on the little elf doll on the bookshelf, and she said in a deep voice, "Did you do this?"
She still remembered the clear, childlike voice she heard before entering the tomb.
Seeing that it had failed to fool Lin Xiaoxiao, the little elf immediately stopped pretending to be a doll. It put its hands on either side of its body, kicked its little feet, and shook its head with a smile: "No, it was the setting my master had before he perished."
“Every agent of the true god who enters the tomb will directly enter the illusory realm and witness the past century since the beginning of the catastrophe.”
Lin Xiaoxiao stared coldly at the little elf in front of her: "Am I the first one?"
The implication was that the question was whether the little sprite was the first divine agent to enter the tomb.
The little elf continued wiggling its tiny feet and shaking its head, saying, "You are the third divine agent to enter the Tomb of the Gods."
Lin Xiaoxiao stared at the little elf and asked in a deep voice, "What about the two gods from before?"
The little elf tilted its head, cupped its face in its tiny hands, thought for a moment, then smiled, revealing its little fangs: "Dead."
Before Lin Xiaoxiao could react, it gently flew to eye level with her, hands on its hips: "Stop wasting time with nonsense. What do you want to know from the Tomb of the Gods?"
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't expect the little elf to be so direct. The question she wanted to ask got stuck in her throat, and she immediately asked, "I want to know how to retrieve the sacrificed limbs."
The little elf, hands on hips and looking quite smug, looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with wide, inquisitive eyes upon hearing this.
After a long silence, it waved its hand, and all the furniture turned into specks of light and disappeared into the air.
The energy clouds in the space churned rapidly, and soon, an underground passage about 1 meter wide, just wide enough for one person to pass through, appeared.
The little elf pointed to the passage: "Look, go in, you'll find your answer below."
Lin Xiaoxiao stared intently at the little elf for a moment, then quickly conjured an energy armor on her body. Holding a lightsaber, her muscles tensed, she slowly entered the passage.
After climbing about two hundred steps, we arrived at a stone chamber that was only about 20 square meters in size.
The stone chamber was empty except for a few self-illuminating beads embedded in the walls, a magic circle painted in gold on the ceiling, and a coffin carved from translucent crystal directly below the magic circle.
As Lin Xiaoxiao slowly approached, she could clearly see a semi-transparent figure lying in the coffin. She was a very beautiful woman with long, flowing hair, wearing a white and gold gilded dress.
Once Lin Xiaoxiao had stood firmly beside the crystal coffin, the woman lying inside slowly opened her eyes and met her gaze through the thick crystal.
A gentle voice floated throughout the stone chamber: "You've come, lucky darling."
Lin Xiaoxiao's right hand, which held the lightsaber, turned slightly pale: "God of Prophecy: True God Xiao Daina, it is a pleasure to meet you."
Lin Xiaoxiao learned this name during those hundred years of history.
The woman named Xiao Daina smiled slightly, a nostalgic look in her eyes: "I had almost forgotten my own name. I never imagined that thousands of years later, someone would still call my name."
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the wisp of divine soul that was about to dissipate and asked in a deep voice, "True God Xiao Daina, I have come to you for only one thing: how to retrieve the sacrificial limbs."
Xiao Daina smiled faintly through the crystal: "I can tell you, but you must agree to one condition."
Lin Xiaoxiao stared at His remaining soul for a long while before asking in a deep voice, "What are the conditions?"
Modena's eyes were gentle: "Take away that little elf outside named Kongkong. My soul will soon perish, and the Tomb of the Gods will disintegrate into the chaotic void of space along with my demise."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "Okay!"
Through subsequent conversation, she received a vague answer...
As the milky-white energy vortex gradually disappeared, Lin Xiaoxiao, who had returned to the sealed land of the Divine Tomb, found a small, silent sprite named Kongkong perched on her shoulder.
Xiao Weizhi stared at the vanishing energy storm, puzzled. Why did the energy suddenly disappear? Was it because the Divine Tomb couldn't be opened?
He quickly stepped forward, put his arm around Lin Xiaoxiao, whose face was somewhat pale, and asked worriedly, "What happened?"
Lin Xiaoxiao leaned against him and shook her head slightly: "It's nothing."
She has obtained the information she wanted and can leave now.
Before stepping onto the steps, Lin Xiaoxiao subconsciously glanced back. The ice crystal that had once sealed her parents was now empty.
After looking at it for a few seconds, she said in a deep voice, "Let's go."
Xiao Weizhi carried Lin Xiaoxiao out of the underground passage and found that the original mountain of corpses had disappeared and turned into a meter-high layer of rotten soil.
Lin Xiaoxiao took out a specially made orientation tool from her space, and input the landmark and energy into it.
Soon the prop was activated, disintegrating on the spot and transforming into an energy directional beacon that extended a long red line toward the destination.
Lin Xiaoxiao leaned on Xiao Weizhi's back, pinched his earlobe, and whispered, "Weizhi, follow the red line."
Xiao Weizhi carried her on his back and flew away following the direction of the red thread.
Meanwhile, in an underground laboratory not far from the core of the Black Abyss, Nuenro, dressed in a white robe and wearing latex lab gloves, had a maniacal excitement in his ghostly black eyes: "Success! I wonder if we can add rapid reproduction?"
The juvenile form of an evil god capable of devouring everything [experimental version], looking at the ominous aura emanating from the sofa, how alluring, how powerful.
On the operating table in front of him lay a monster that was no longer recognizable as human, covered with compound eyes and pustules, without hands, and with dozens of tentacles.
Not far away, in more than twenty huge storage chambers, were monsters that looked just like those on the operating table.
Liu Duoxin sat in the corner, watching Nu Enluo who was going crazy. In his eye, which had not yet mutated, there was only disgust for his experiment and for Nu Enluo himself.
But forced by the command of the god of greed, they had no choice but to fulfill the madman's demands and were temporarily unable to leave.
Kagome, far away in the city tower of Mona City, regularly peeks into fate as usual.
Shortly after, she coughed up a mouthful of blood, and at the same time, the magic circle formed by the silver energy surrounding her turned into bubbles and disappeared.
She placed her hands on the armrests of the wheelchair, her chest heaving rapidly, her eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Am I seeing things? In the near future, many special juvenile evil gods will appear, roaming this dark land and devouring everything in their path.
After calming down, she opened the contact app: "Xingyan, come over here for a second, I need to talk to you..."
Twenty-three days later, Xiao Weizhi and Lin Xiaoxiao, riding on the back of the black cat, successfully arrived at her destination—the edge of the [Land of Fallen Gods].
[The Land of Fallen Gods is located in a very special region, surrounded by towering mountains and cliffs, with numerous spatial rifts of varying sizes hidden within. Even those who can fly must traverse it with caution, lest they be swept into the spatial turbulence.]
The two people and the cat (Sicily went back to summon her space to rest) stood on the edge of the cliff, looking down at the energy lakes of various sizes that covered thousands of acres and were surrounded by a special barrier.
Legend has it that this place is an energy lake formed from the body of a fallen god over time, and it is also the place where Lin Xiaoxiao awakened her memories of her past life.
This place is special; even the black mist of the god of greed dares not approach it recklessly.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the light blue protective barrier, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. They had finally arrived.
Recalling my conversation with the prophetic goddess, Xiao Daina, over twenty days ago: 'I once prophesied about the future: a savior carrying golden energy will find their own future in that azure lake.'
Then he remembered Quan Zhi's reminder: 'Based on her prophetic words and the information I know, you can go and look for her at the energy lake called the Land of Fallen Gods.'
'The limbs of agents are useless to the gods. Given their custom, they wouldn't deliberately treasure them; they would most likely discard them in a place inaccessible to humans.'
The black cat trembled all over, its sharp fingertips protruding from its claws and gripping the ground tightly, clearly unable to withstand the energy emanating from the barrier.
After Lin Xiaoxiao and Xiao Weizhi landed, the black cat immediately shrunk in size and collapsed unconscious on the spot.
Lin Xiaoxiao picked up the black cat and gently placed it in Xiao Weizhi's arms: "I have to go in for a bit, you guys wait for me here."
Xiao Weizhi took the black cat, bent down and kissed her forehead: "Okay, we'll wait for you here. Be careful."
Lin Xiaoxiao leaped off the cliff, her soft voice echoing in the wind: "Wait for me to come back."
As she passed through the light blue barrier, the energy lake below trembled and rippled, as if something was trying to crawl out of the lake.
