Free Web NovelChapter 1266: Chapter 81: World of Xiya
The third stage has begun, which means that not only the army of the undead will surround and kill Su Xiao, but there will also be many powerful undead.
Su Xiao ignores the prompt, as he is currently inside the Relic of the Shadow of Annihilation Law. If the Undead Clan can indeed attack the relic, he will immediately return to Reincarnation Paradise, as he currently has the right to return at any time.
Watching Marvin Waltz drift away, Su Xiao is somewhat puzzled as to why he appears here. A coincidence in the underworld? Su Xiao thinks it’s unlikely. If he guesses correctly, Marvin Waltz is likely summoned by Reincarnation Paradise.
There’s no need for detailed inquiries regarding this matter. Su Xiao has his own secrets, and naturally, Marvin Waltz also has matters he can’t easily disclose.
Before long, Marvin Waltz’s phantom drifted back.
"This place is indeed different from the Heritage Ruins. The Heritage Hall has completely collapsed, but there are three stone gates deep inside the hall. It’s unclear where these gates lead to."
Marvin Waltz looked up and down at Su Xiao, noticing that Su Xiao had become much stronger since their last meeting. Although it seemed he was just casually patrolling the hall, in reality, he was observing whether any ’insane’ mechanisms had been set up here. His Annihilator friend was very good at setting up mechanisms.
"If there are three stone gates, then they should be the Hall of Destruction, Hall of Magic, and Hall of Shadow."
Su Xiao had already obtained the corresponding gemstones for these three places. Before entering the Relic of the Shadow of Annihilation Law, he knew that to enter here, one not only needed to possess Blue Steel Shadow Energy but also any one of the three gemstones.
Su Xiao carries the Stone of Extinction and the Stone of Magic, while Bu Bu Wang carries the Shadow Stone; otherwise, the man and the dog cannot enter the outer Blue Mist Energy of the relic.
"Hall of Destruction? Hall of Magic? Hall of Shadow? What are these things?"
Marvin Waltz looked at Su Xiao in confusion.
"You don’t know about these three places?"
Su Xiao also looked at Marvin Waltz in puzzlement.
"Never heard of them."
After a moment of contemplation, Marvin Waltz understood what it was about.
"These should be structures set up by Akes. In the traditional sense of Heritage Ruins, these three buildings do not exist. Are you planning to enter those three stone gates?"
"Of course."
"I advise you to forget it. Akes’s mind... is somewhat different from other Shadows of Annihilation Law. There might be things left behind by him behind those three stone gates, but it will also be very dangerous."
Marvin Waltz glanced at the sculptures inside the hall. Each sculpture here would trigger a certain memory for him.
"Opening those three stone gates, you must be prepared for the possibility of death."
Marvin Waltz waved his hand, clearly meaning: ’Don’t disturb me; I’m reminiscing about the past.’"
Obviously, Marvin Waltz does not want to directly reveal the secrets of the Shadow of Annihilation Law to Su Xiao. Some things he doesn’t want to mention anymore; the former glory is gone, and now he only has a surviving filament of consciousness.
Bu Bu Wang walked over to stand in front of Marvin Waltz. It was clear that this silly dog was very curious about Marvin Waltz, as it was their first meeting.
Bu Bu Wang squatted on the ground, looking up at Marvin Waltz as if observing a rare existence. Noticing Bu Bu Wang, Marvin Waltz smiled.
According to the information provided by Marvin Waltz, there is no danger inside this grand hall, provided that Su Xiao does not enter those three stone gates.
Su Xiao passed through a vast array of sculptures and slowly walked to the depth of the grand hall, where the floor was covered with rubble. At the deepest part was a stone wall.
At the top of the stone wall were a dozen murals, and below these murals were three stone gates.
The three stone gates were neatly arranged, with grooves at the center of each gate, clearly intended for inlaying gemstones.
With plenty of time now, Su Xiao looked at the dozen murals above the stone gates. Large areas of text were also carved below the murals, which Su Xiao had never seen before, yet he could somehow understand what these words were describing.
’My name is Akes. I have borne the duty of annihilation law for 547 day cycles (1 day cycle is approximately equal to 1.6 years). Elemental fluctuations...’
Through the words below the murals, and the content of the murals, Su Xiao quickly learned about Destroyer Akes, the Ancient Undead Clan, the Undead Clan, and the secrets of the Human Dynasty.
According to Akes’s description, he was attracted here by elemental fluctuations. Since the World of Xiya is not a planet within the Void, when Akes arrived here, he found that returning to the Void was somewhat difficult. It wasn’t because Akes’s spatial technology was inferior, but because he was too powerful.
If the World of Xiya were likened to a balloon, then Akes would be a Sharp Blade. When he arrived in this world, he directly pierced it. If he were to leave hastily, the structure of this world would collapse. He needed to let this world adapt to him before he could leave peacefully.
After discovering this, Akes did not immediately solve the problem of the world’s elemental system but first sought to understand the world’s situation.
If the World of Xiya were likened to a game, the strongest boss within this game, Reed, would be Level 50. As for Akes, who descended here, he was at least Level 9000 or more. A sneeze could wipe out a large number of Reed.
When Akes first entered this world, he dared not even move hastily for fear of causing the space to collapse and triggering a series of natural disasters.
The location Akes descended upon was exactly where the Relic of the Shadow of Annihilation Law is situated. He released puppet mechanisms, which to Akes seemed ordinary, but to Reed, they were invincible entities.
Akes released a total of 20 puppet mechanisms and quickly understood the current state of the world.
The World of Xiya originally had three races: the Undead Clan, Humans, and the Bartara Clan. Among these, the Bartara Clan were the first to discover Akes. Years later, Akes became the god of the Bartara Clan. Not that Akes intended this, but the Bartara Clan unilaterally believed Akes to be their deity.
The Bartara Clan belonged to a primitive race; thus, they were constantly enslaved by the Undead Clan, serving as the lowest class of laborers.
Slaves included not only the Bartara Clan. When Akes arrived, the Human Race was also enslaved, specifically by the Ancient Undead Clan. Although some connections exist between the Ancient and current Undead Clans, these ties have mostly severed after a certain change.
The Ancient Undead Clan was the overlord of the World of Xiya, with the Bartara Clan as their laborers and the Human Race as their farmers. This is why agricultural techniques in the Holy Sodding Kingdom are so advanced. Their ancestors were all farmers; how could farming techniques not be advanced?
One day, Akes became annoyed with the Bartara Clan. However, as the Bartara Clan worshiped him as a god, he couldn’t possibly destroy them. Therefore, Akes directly teleported the Bartara Clan away to a secluded, resource-rich planet within the Void.
Most of the Bartara Clan escaped their slavery, while a small portion disappeared in the river of time.
