Gao Yuanyuan silently examined this "Corrupted Shrine."
Although they were both Sealed Objects, their research value was still different.
Intuitively, he felt that this object's research value surpassed even that of the Insect Queen.
The Insect Queen's replication research was certainly perverse enough.
But who could blame it when it had not been listed in the "Ancient Researchers' Association Anomalous Project Files"?
Moreover, judging solely from its appearance, this thing was strange enough.
Its main outline resembled a tilted ancient altar, but its material was neither stone nor metal. It was a symbiotic mass of rotting flesh and corroded metal.

It existed between matter and concept, like a cursed altar, yet also like the rotting organ of some corrupted deity, constantly oozing filthy "divine pus and blood." Its form was not fixed but continuously twisted, proliferating, and putrefying.
Gao Gong looked toward its lower end. Countless root-like tentacles extended from the shrine's "base," resembling rotten tree roots or the nerve bundles of some colossal creature,
