The corpses lying on the ground all had sparse white hair, dry and wrinkled skin with obvious spots, making them look like elderly people in their twilight years. They had no obvious wounds and looked as if they had just died of old age.

--But no matter how you look at it, the team of explorers who entered the tomb shouldn't have been a group of elderly people! The only reason for this situation can be that there's something fishy about this tomb.

Luther Consciousness looked at the emblem on the stone gate, the clock that symbolized the power of the Amon Family.

Is time the power of the Amon Family?

Were the life force and remaining time of these explorers stolen by the tomb's occupant? As successors to the tomb exploration, seeing the gruesome corpses of our predecessors truly evokes complex emotions.

Luther glanced briefly at the corpses on the ground, then shifted his gaze to the tomb chamber.

He noticed that the murals had finally appeared. Inside the main tomb chamber, intricate and exquisite paintings covered all the walls, their colors extremely vibrant, just like the candles, remaining in the state they were in when they were first painted.

Luther gazed at the wall facing the tomb chamber, which was a large mural that extended upwards to the dome. The main subject of the painting was a majestic, continuous mountain range, with a huge Cross standing atop the main peak.

That Cross was taller than a mountain.

Luther was taken aback, then looked at the Cross, his expression Distortion in pain.

In his Illusion, he had seen similar images countless times—giant Cross, seemingly supporting the sky, planted in the mountains.

However, the Cross on this mural differed from the one in his Illusion in some ways—the mountains were normal, not pitch black, and the Cross was upright, not upside down. The Cross radiated layers of illusory light, appearing incomparably holy, and there was no terrifying and Degeneration figure nailed to it.

At the base of the Cross, a tall and noble figure stands faintly.

This figure is the absolute center of the entire mural, with mountains at his feet and Cross in his background. Winged Angel surround him, offering their blessings in fervor. Giant bound by chains kneel before him, and proud Dragon bow their heads to him.

His existence seemed to be the truth and salvation of this world.

He is clearly a step further than the True God of Sequence 0.

Luther stared blankly at the blurry figure, which was only a vague outline.

"Is this the Lord?"

It is not the Degeneration and Distortion god who turned believers into extreme Lunatic; nor is it the Original Creator in mythology who transformed into everything in the world and created everything from Subordinate Deity to mortals.

The being depicted in the mural is more like the light that once appeared in his Illusion —the one who led the people out of the ancient times, defeated all the Ancient God, and brought peace and stability to the world.

It turns out that the Lord was not just Illusion of my imagination, but a real being, or at least someone who existed—this Fourth Epoch mural seems to prove it. However, in the current Fifth Epoch, these details are absent from historical Record.

Filled with trepidation and bewilderment at the hidden history, Luther continued to examine the rest of the mural.

He saw that at the foot of the mountain range, two Angel with twelve wings each carrying an infant were humbly making their way to the summit. The infant on the left had slightly curly black hair and jet-black eyes, while the infant on the right had pale golden hair and golden eyes.

These two infants are another central element of the mural. The theme of the painting is likely the birth of these two babies. Considering that the mural comes from the main burial chamber, it is very likely depicting the life of the tomb's occupant.

The fact that a twelve-winged Angel would display such a posture speaks volumes.

In other words, if the ancestors of the Amon Family were descendants of this "Lord," then which baby was Amon, and who was the remaining baby?

Luther continued to look at the mural.

His gaze was fixed on it, and the Spirituality energy within him seemed to be churning violently. His body trembled, a buzzing sound gradually rose in his ears, and countless Illusion rose and enveloped him.

"Boom--"

Thus, the scene depicted in the mural became reality: on the majestic mountain, the holy radiance of that being shone upon the world.

Praise the Lord, His love endures forever.

Heaven and earth were filled with joyful hymns; Angel sang and blew trumpets, blessing the birth of the Lord's child. Look at the baby brought up from the foot of the mountain by two Angel.

Luther saw that the being moved its gaze, lingering on the baby on the right.

"Adam."

His voice echoed throughout heaven and earth, and the baby with pale golden hair radiated a holy light, receiving the Lord's blessing. The baby slightly opened his eyes, his golden pupils pure, holy, and flawless.

"Amon."

The being then looked to the other side and bestowed a name upon the infant with slightly curly black hair. The infant had dark eyes that darted around cleverly after hearing the name, appearing even more lively.

So, is this black-haired guy Amon?

Luther saw that young Amon's dark eyes were rolling around, then suddenly stopped and focused on him, as if he had discovered Lu Ze's observation from outside of time.

Then, the little baby with slightly curly black hair smiled.

Luther stared directly at the smile, unable to resist meeting the baby's gaze.

"Call!"

Just then, a biting cold wind suddenly blew on the back of his neck, causing him to shiver and wake up from his Illusion.

Is it Sharron?

"Aaaaaah!"

As Luther was thinking this, he suddenly heard a desperate cry. He opened his eyes and saw that Best had appeared in the tomb at some point, his body being affected by an invisible force, aging rapidly. His life force and the time of his body were being absorbed at the same time.

Not only Best, but the middle-aged gentleman Soroa had also collapsed to the ground, a huge wound covering his back.

He died too.

The one who killed these two was undoubtedly Kate, the female Warrior who was fighting Sharron, wielding her Greatsword with a whooshing sound.

It seems she launched a surprise attack while she was in a moment of madness, kicking Best into the tomb's sphere of influence and killing Soroa in the process. With Luther still in a daze, she only had Sharron left as her enemy.

Sharron's "Wraith" ability was affected by the opponent's "Light of Dawn." Although the two Sequence 5 temporarily maintained a stalemate in the battle, one side's disadvantage was very obvious.

That's why Sharron used the cold air to awaken Luther.

"Boom!"

The female Warrior remained calm upon seeing Luther awake, and immediately swung her Greatsword at him!
