145: Tomb of the Gods
These people followed behind the old man and walked towards the village.
The old man led them into a grand mansion, which looked resplendent and radiated divine charm, giving off a very unique feeling.
Su Bai used his Illusion Breaking Divine Eye to examine the mansion before him, but he didn't detect any abnormalities.
The same was true for the identity of the old man from earlier; Su Bai’s Illusion Breaking Divine Eye couldn't see through him at all.
This indicated that the old man's situation was very special and his level of mystery was extremely high.
"Sit down and eat."
"These are dishes I meticulously prepared for you all."
The old man pointed to the table full of dishes and said softly.
And indeed, the old man had prepared a large table of dishes.
However, Su Bai and the others looked at the table of dishes before them, and not a single person dared to pick up their chopsticks; they all exchanged glances.
"Old man, how did you know we were coming, and even specially prepared such a large spread of dishes?"
Su Bai did not pick up his chopsticks and instead asked.
"I don't know either; I just felt that someone had entered here, and then I went to prepare the food."
"Come, everyone, try some. This is wild game hunted from the mountain; it's very delicious."
The old man picked up a piece of chicken and put it into his mouth.
He wasn't surprised that Su Bai and the others had arrived here; on the contrary, he had even prepared the food in advance.
"Old man, we're not very hungry."
"Actually, we're quite curious about this place. How did you end up in a place like this?"
Su Bai once again changed the subject, asking with some curiosity.
"I've always lived here."
"From the moment I gained memory, I've never left this place; I've always stayed here."
Hearing this, the old man put down his chopsticks and seriously began to count the days.
"Old man, you said you've always lived here, for how long?"
Qing Wei narrowed her eyes, observing the old man before her.
"I can't remember that; it's been a very, very long time. Every day I watch the sunrise and the sunset."
"When I have nothing to do, I go fishing by the lake, or I farm the land. Occasionally, I go into the mountains to hunt some wild game. Life is carefree and free."
The old man gently shook his head, perhaps already confused by the passage of time.
"Your spirits are truly high, but do you really not understand what the outside world is like?"
At these words, Su Bai hesitated for a moment, tentatively bringing up the outside.
"I haven't been there, I don't understand it, and I don't want to understand it."
At these words, the old man gently shook his head, his expression suddenly becoming much grimmer.
"Can we look around here?"
Su Bai looked at the long path appearing inside the house and pointed towards the mountain.
"You can look around, but you are absolutely not allowed to touch anything in the house. If you touch those things, there could be very bad consequences."
The old man did not refuse Su Bai and the others, saying with a calm expression.
"Alright."
Su Bai nodded and led the group towards the small houses behind.
As soon as they entered the house, they felt a chilling aura wash over them.
On a high platform in the distance, a memorial tablet was placed, covered with long incense sticks.
This was no house; it was clearly a memorial hall.
"Sacred to: Tomb of the Giant Spirit Clan Chief."
Looking at the words carved on the memorial tablet, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
The Giant Spirit Clan Chief, wasn't that the legendary first person among demigods?
Such an existence actually died here; it was simply unbelievable.
"Come on, let's go to the next room."
Su Bai suddenly thought of something, a hint of solemnity in his eyes, and immediately walked towards the next room.
As they stepped through the doorway of the next room, a golden light quietly emerged.
The light enveloped everyone, making them feel warm.
"Sacred to: Tomb of the Sun Goddess."
Looking at the wooden plaque before them, everyone couldn't help but gasp, a trace of unspeakable shock in their eyes.
One,
Two,
Three,
Goddess of Weak Water,
True God of Flame,
True God of Supreme Gold,
...
...
One after another, the tombstones of gods appeared in these small houses, looking especially eerie.
"I'm not mistaken, am I? These are all tombstones of gods."
"How is this possible? So many gods died here."
"This is too many; it's hard to even count them all."
Everyone felt their hearts tremble; with each house they passed, their hearts suffered a severe blow.
Those were gods!
The gods, high above in legends, immortal and indestructible beings.
Now, in such a dilapidated house, besides a few long incense sticks offered to them, there was nothing else.
How could gods possibly die?
"Come on, keep going up."
Su Bai ascended to a higher point, and the names of these gods became increasingly powerful.
Gods like the God of Darkness, God of Life, and God of Desire, all these powerful gods also died here.
What exactly happened in this world?
Why are so many gods buried in this place?
Su Bai looked at this scene, a deep sense of confusion in his eyes.
"I'm a little afraid to go up. Who do you think is buried in the highest room up there?"
Huo Yan looked at the mountain peak, which was within reach, a trace of hesitation flashing in his eyes, and asked softly.
"Let's go, let's go up and see."
Everyone directly walked up to the room on the mountain peak.
"Sacred to: Tomb of the Time Lord God."
"Good heavens, I'm not mistaken, am I? Is this the God of Time?"
"The God of Time also died here?"
"What kind of place is this, exactly?"
Everyone gasped, a hint of fear in their eyes.
The Time Lord God, that was the god hailed as the chief of all gods, who Controlled the terrifying laws of time.
How could such a god possibly die?
"The tombstones are erected, so it shouldn't be wrong. It seems the old man down the mountain should be the Tomb Keeper, whose purpose is to guard this land of gods."
Qing Wei looked at the few people before her and couldn't help but frown.
However, she could feel that this place should contain a very great secret.
"A Tomb Keeper?"
"I don't think so necessarily; their identities still need to be debated. Let's go down and talk to that old man."
The Tomb of All Gods!
This matter was becoming more and more interesting.
Su Bai narrowed his eyes, a wary expression in them.
"No need, I've already come up."
Before everyone could react, that figure appeared directly before them.
"Old man, is this really the burial place of gods?"
"Why are so many gods buried here?"
Su Bai looked at the old man before him and asked softly.
"Godfall Land, Fallen Sky Abyss, where gods are buried, interred here."
The old man looked into the distance and murmured to himself.
