Who Was the Monster? The Reincarnation Mask!
The Gatekeeper was taken aback.
Having learned part of the truth, he suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation.
You should know that ever since he was revived, he has been working to open a passage to return to the Upper Realm.
However, during the restoration process, it was suddenly discovered that the passage had been sealed.
To open it up, the only way is to sacrifice all living beings in the universe!
The Gatekeeper had done just that, but just when everything was going well, Netherworld King disappeared!
Later, during the process of independently opening the passage, he discovered that this universe was heading towards Annihilation!
The so-called Annihilation is the Great Annihilation spoken of by the Eternal True God of the Apocalypse Universe!
The Gatekeeper initially dismissed it, thinking the Great Annihilation was a joke to them.
But it wasn't until he delved deeper that he discovered this Great Annihilation could actually destroy the entire universe!
Even a powerful being at the Overlord Realm can only temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack and survive until a new universe is born.
Moreover, their own strength will be under immense pressure during this process, and whether they can survive until the birth of a new universe is another matter entirely!
If the Great Annihilation is allowed to come, the Gatekeeper feels that his return to the Upper Realm will likely be a long way off!
Thinking of all this, he said in a deep voice:
"I'll give you some information, take a look... could it be because of that monster, or perhaps the Prison-Suppressing Wisdom King!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
The Gatekeeper casually waved his hand, and a wisp of information entered Little Red's head.
This is the information he obtained from the treasure trove of knowledge after occupying the Heavenly Venerable Hall.
After learning about the terrifying nature of the Great Annihilation, he couldn't sleep all night.
"The Great Annihilation..." After pondering this information, Little Red nodded and said:
"That's certainly possible... but I'm not entirely sure what state that guy is in right now. Let's talk about it when we get back!"
Jiazun's Sanctuary.
After figuring out the identity of the dojo owner, Lin Chen and the others took a rare break.
Looking at the empty stone platform, the expressions on the faces of the group varied.
The old Daoist priest, in particular, was still reeling from the shock he had just experienced.
Upon seeing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh.
"Senior, don't overthink it... Perhaps this is just our speculation. The truth remains to be verified!"
Upon hearing this, the old Daoist priest smiled but remained silent.
His face remained calm as he stared at the writing on the ground, his eyes filled with shock.
This world is too unpredictable and treacherous, with far too many clues hidden within.
The points he's seen recently are astonishing enough!
Especially now that he saw that even Jiazun had been captured, the old Daoist priest was even more terrified!
"Senior, could you help me identify this?"
Just as the old Daoist priest was sighing, Lin Chen took out the White Jade Mask.
This thing is a treasure he dug out from the first altar. Its origin is extremely mysterious, and its power is even more earth-shattering.
Like the White Jade Little Elephant, it possesses incredible power.
However, Lin Chen has only figured out a small part of how to use it, and the remaining abilities have not yet been discovered!
"This is..."
Looking at the White Jade Mask with its protruding nose and sunken pupils, the old Daoist priest showed a hint of surprise.
Even for someone as knowledgeable as him, this was the first time he had ever seen such a treasure!
Incredulous, he touched the mask and exclaimed in amazement:
"When I was cultivating on Lingtai Square-Inch Mountain, my master mentioned that there was a supreme treasure in the Eastern Shengshen Continent called the Reincarnation Mask. It is said that this thing was created by Houtu, the Emperor of the Underworld Houtu. Its abilities are unpredictable and it has the power to reverse the past and glimpse the future!"
After the Reincarnation Mask appeared, this treasure was placed on the top of Kunlun Ruins to suppress the dragon vein, and no one dared to compete for it... I never expected... it would be here too..."
Reincarnation Mask!
Lin Chen's expression changed.
Looking at the White Jade Mask before him, also known as the Reincarnation Mask, his eyes were filled with shock!
It was determined that this treasure was indeed unearthed from the Kunlun Mountains, and White Jade Little Elephant was also unearthed along with it.
It's worth noting that when Lin Chen left the Milky Way Galaxy this time, just in case, he specifically left the White Jade Little Elephant with his First Clone.
As for the White Jade Mask, he kept it by his side.
Hearing the old Daoist priest's explanation, Lin Chen was utterly shocked!
"Senior! This treasure was indeed unearthed from the Kunlun Mountains. It was buried in the first Seven-Colored Altar. Even now, I haven't fully discovered its abilities. However, after wearing this mask, I can see through the essence of the universe!"
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the old Daoist priest nodded slightly.
Looking at the Reincarnation Mask in his hand, he sighed:
"This thing is extremely mysterious, and its power is earth-shattering. As far as I know, after it was created by the Underworld Emperor Houtu, it attracted an unparalleled heavenly tribulation. After successfully Tribulation Transcendence, its power became unfathomable. Therefore, the Houtu Emperor Houtu placed it in Kunlun Ruins..."
"Now that you mention it, if I'm not mistaken, this treasure must have been used for other purposes, causing it to lose its power. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to get close to it!"
"Okay, senior, do you know how to use it?" This was Lin Chen's biggest concern and the question he most wanted to know.
"This humble Daoist doesn't know either." The old Daoist smiled slightly and spread his hands, saying:
"The Reincarnation Mask is one of the most precious treasures of the Three Realms, and only a few people know how to use it. Obviously, I am not one of them... If my master were here, he might be able to lend you a hand! Young man, I am becoming more and more curious about your home Blue Star. If I am not mistaken, there are probably even more secrets there!"
Lin Chen remained silent after hearing this.
Looking at the Reincarnation Mask in his hand, he was momentarily confused.
After learning some about the essence of the universe from the old Daoist priest, he suddenly felt as if a dark cloud was hanging over his head.
It's as if you're completely enveloped in a fog, unable to distinguish between what's real and what's fake.
Or perhaps, he suddenly felt that the entire Apocalypse Universe was fake!
So where is the real world?
As Lin Chen's emotions grew stronger, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Senior... if what you say is true, that the entire universe was arranged or created by someone, what are the chances of that?"
"Very, very big!" the old Daoist priest said with a smile.
"Feeling lost? There's no need to be! When I first attained enlightenment in the Primordial Chaos, I was also full of vigor and felt invincible in heaven and earth!"
But in the end, you still got caught and used as a guinea pig. That's fate... The only advice I can give you is to be down-to-earth and explore the truth. If this universe is fake, then go find the real universe!
Searching for the real universe?
As the saying goes, a single word can awaken a person from a dream!
The old Daoist priest's words instantly brought Lin Chen to his senses.
Yes!
If this universe is shrouded in mist, existing between illusion and reality.
Therefore, his existence is unreasonable!
The problem is that he actually exists, and he's a time traveler!
If existence implies rationality, then Lin Chen suddenly wondered why he should be confused!
If the sky is shrouded in mist and cannot be clearly seen, wouldn't it be the right thing for him to tear it apart?
With a clear mind, Lin Chen smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying:
"Thank you for your enlightenment, senior!"
