Chapter 1369 The Civilized Cemetery and the Lantern Bearer (2nd Update!)

somewhere in the multiverse

The lantern holder named Elgor is walking out of the deep mausoleum.

And on this cliff, an inconspicuous, even somewhat narrow cave is the entrance to the great mausoleum.

At this moment, the cold storm from the Black Coast is roaring through this huge rift.

Elgor tightened his sweater.

He is already a bit old.

The traces of time have left a profound imprint on his body.

Those once fresh breaths no longer exist.

Just like every lantern holder, Elgor's body was filled with the cold and twilight aura like a mausoleum.

After passing through the path between the cliffs, which may be more suitable for sheep, Erger came to his cabin that was also built on the cliff.

This place is located in the vast dry Gobi desert, so there is no need to worry about fire or the like.

Therefore, even when Erger entered the tomb, he did not extinguish the burning fireplace in the wooden house.

However, what makes Elger a little annoyed is:

He didn't drink the scalding hot tea as expected.

Because, an old guy that he didn't like that much had already occupied the spot where he usually sat when he rested in the cabin.

The old guy even drank all his tea!

"If you're not hanging out with those goddesses in heaven, why are you here?"

Elgor looked at the other party angrily and said.

"Elgor, your respect for the gods is decreasing day by day..."

"Is it the life in the tomb that makes you no longer believe in the promises made by the gods to you?"

The visitor heard the words and said noncommittally.

"Respect?"

"There are enough people who respect you, why don't you include me as the lantern holder."

Elgor put the lantern in his hand and hung it on the wall.

Then, he came over and reluctantly picked up the teapot and shook it again.

After discovering that he had indeed drank all the wine from this visitor, the dissatisfaction on Elger's face became even more serious.

"Look at your stingy look, just a little tea..."

"My old friend is here, can't I even have some tea from you?"

When the visitor saw this, he couldn't help but joke.

"If you really come to have some tea, that would be easy to say."

"But it's not like you're coming with good news..."

Erger glanced at the person coming, and he knew that this guy was probably planning to do something else.

The reason why the man with the lantern does not like the gods also has sufficient historical roots:

In the past history of the Lantern Man, this is not the first time that the gods have done such a bad thing.

The lantern-bearers don't care about the loneliness and suffering they suffer.

But this does not mean that they can still maintain a peaceful attitude when someone tries to "add to" this loneliness and suffering.

"If you have something to say, get out of here."

Elgor lay down and said angrily.

The visitor shook his head when he saw this, and then pointed in the direction of the mausoleum:

"Is that guy's seal coming soon?"

Erger couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. He knew that these guys would not come here if they were fine.

This is the place where many civilizations fell, and it is also the eternal mausoleum where thousands of heroes rest.

Here, both magic and divine power are severely curbed.

Only those holding lanterns that continue the light of salvation from ancient times can move through it relatively freely.

"It's been a little irritable lately..."

Elgor murmured.

He knew what the visitor was talking about.

Although this is the cemetery of many civilizations and heroic spirits.

But this does not mean that every part of the mausoleum contains sufficiently troublesome historical issues.

In fact, it is quite unlucky for every lantern holder to encounter a seal that is about to expire in his entire career.

More often than not, people who hold lanterns spend peaceful and lonely years in deep and remote years that may not be so peaceful.

It was once the weapon of a brutal war god.

In other words, to a large extent, that weapon is the main body of the God of War.

In some unknown period of chaos, the God of War used it to slaughter countless powerful creatures...

But no matter how tyrannical the will, no matter how powerful the power, it cannot always resist the end of civilization.

When the dusk bell rings with a loud and long sound at the end of the world's destiny.

Everything should return to the eternal sleep of the cold mausoleum...

But like many wills that are also unwilling to do so, this bloodthirsty weapon is also unable to accept such a peaceful sleep.

In the long history of recorded existence, this weapon has tried to seduce, twist and even possess the lantern man, not once or twice.

Even once, it worked.

That created a bloody tragedy called "The Lantern Massacre"...

Although the victims were a group of somewhat unlucky fishmen who were migrating seasonally according to tribal customs.

And after the massacre, the seal of this weapon was upgraded to the highest level.

Because among the ranks of the fish-men tribe, there was also the fish-man god at that time...

Although until now, even the gods have not understood what the fish-man god wants to do with his body.

But his tragic death made the gods truly realize how dangerous this weapon was.

It is still relatively weak, and even if it is controlled by the existence it occupies, it can directly slaughter a true god with not weak divine power.

If it is controlled by a truly powerful evil person, what kind of devastating and terrifying disaster will it cause?

In order to prevent such a situation from happening, the gods have built the most solid supreme seal.

And in order to ensure the stability of the seal, this seal has a cycle period of one thousand years.

The so-called supreme eternal seal of all things is actually not recognized by the gods.

After they have experienced endless time, the gods have learned the perverseness of the so-called "eternity".

The periodic update seems to increase the possibility of variables.

But at the same time, these variables are constrained within the controllable range.

As mentioned before, this is the tomb of civilization and heroes, and the power of divinity cannot act here completely.

Therefore, this seal with a limited period allows the gods to concentrate their power in a relatively short period of time.

This is recorded in the inheritance of the lantern bearer.

Ergel didn't bother to pay attention to the gods' true thoughts.

"Are you ready?"

Ergel looked at the visitor and asked.

"Yes, the gods have completed the discussion and made a decision."

The visitor looked at Ergel, then paused and said:

"We decided: let it out..."

Ergel's pupils suddenly shrank when he heard this.

The next moment, with Ergel's sudden burst of spiritual light, Ergel was forced back by the dazzling divinity reflected by the other party.

"It's not an illusion..."

"So, you are finally crazy?"

Ergel narrowed his eyes and looked at the visitor with doubt.
