Mythical Ruins?
William was stunned.
He never imagined that Storm Island had such a thing.
He never imagined that the southern canyon would contain the remains of a wise civilization...
"How is this possible? This is an island from the Mythic Era, how could there be buildings here?" William and his companions used their swords to clean the wall, finally getting a clear look at the intricate patterns carved into it...
The three of them swallowed hard.
The bizarre Magical Beast on the island prove that this is definitely an island from the Mythic Era.
That era was ruled by the Gods.
The Gods Continent has not yet been divided into nine.
Elf seem to have been born, but the extremely small Elves can only live under the protection of the World Tree.
Are there any undocumented human activities? Logically speaking, there should be...
But back then, humans seemed to be nothing more than food for various wild beasts and Magical Beast, and hadn't made much progress.
As for Dwarf, Winged Folk, and the like, they also seemed to exist in the Gods Era. However, the Gods' War created a huge gap, causing many Intelligent Races to suffer severe damage. They barely survived for thousands of years in the Dragon Era.
And the Dragon, too, is like the tiger being away, with the monkey taking over as king...
In the eyes of the Gods, they were nothing more than large insects. Perhaps a few Dragon posed a threat, but in the Gods Era, there were quite a few creatures that could rival Dragon.
Similar to Behemoth, Titan Beings, Cyclopes, and High Lion-Scorpion, etc...
These things not only existed in the Mythic Era, but have also been preserved to this day.
Although many races no longer exist, it doesn't mean they are extinct.
William at least knew of many places that possessed these things...
For example, the Behemoth of the Far North live in the icy wilderness. In such a harsh environment, few humans can reach them, and only a few Snow Elf know where they live.
This is a powerful race that can tear apart Dragon with their bare hands; they often catch a White Dragon and devour it without restraint...
They appear to have been active during the Gods Era, but suffered a near-devastating blow during the Dragon Era, which explains their extremely small numbers and rarity!
They are not Magical Beast, because they possess language and intelligence...
As for the Titan Folk, they are even more impressive.
William had read some bizarre historical books, some of which described powerful Titan who seemed to have even fought directly against the Deity. Whether these were exaggerations or not, he wasn't quite sure, because he had never seen such powerful Titan in his previous life...
"As for Cyclopes, there are many more of them, and they are equally powerful. Rumor has it that they are the ancestors of Troll, but I always feel that's a misunderstanding..."
"But High Lion-Scorpion are different from Lion-Scorpion. Lion-Scorpion in the Mythic Era seemed to be comparable to Dragon, but nowadays, there seem to be no High Lion-Scorpion Lion-Scorpion. Their bloodline has generally declined, and they have even been reduced to mounts." William once had such flying mounts. These highly intelligent magical Magical Beast are very greedy and can be tamed under certain circumstances.
In particular, all three Human Empire possess the Lion-Scorpion Legion, which is incredibly powerful...
"Clean this place up and see where the door is!" William thought to himself, this could very well be something left behind by the Deity.
Or it could be a relic left behind by Elf or Winged Folk.
William's mind was intrigued; he hadn't expected there to be other treasures here.
Originally, I only wanted to get Thunder God Ring and devour the resources here, but who would have thought I'd stumble upon ruins? Even when this Swamp Octopus died in my previous life, there were no ruins on the side of the canyon...
I have to say, those three Mana Crystal were definitely worth it, a huge profit...
"If it really is a ruin, we'll be rich." Lotner's eyes were burning. He and Burning Ash unleashed a flurry of Battle Aura techniques, clearing away the dirt stuck to the surface and taking down the Demon Crab hidden in the mud.
These grotesque creatures, some with claws as big as crabs and others with claws as small, are similar to Cave Crab. Whenever a creature walks by, they suddenly extend a large pincer and crush it to death before eating it.
However, such low-level Magical Beast pose a significant threat to others.
It was nothing to William and his group.
The three of them worked hard to clean the mud off the wall. Three hours passed, and they cleared a not-so-small area, which also revealed some murals that had been there for a very long time!
William took a few steps back and looked over, his eyes gleaming.
The murals possess colors that have never faded, making it hard to imagine what kind of being left behind them.
It was daytime.
A black hole appeared in the sky.
A massive, overwhelming hand appeared, seemingly about to tear apart the black hole...
And then some races appeared on the ground: Titan, Behemoth, Dragon, and even Humanoid Being that rose from the earth and pierced the clouds...
They seemed to be trying to stop the giant hand...
A great battle seems to be about to begin...
There are no words or records on the mural, only this unimaginably awe-inspiring scene.
Seeing this, both Lotner and Burning Ash swallowed hard. The former couldn't help but ask, "What is this? A war from the Mythic Era?"
"I never expected that there would actually be records of the Mythic Era. If there are no surprises, this should be something left over from tens of thousands of years ago, or even hundreds of thousands of years ago, right?" Burning Ash took a deep breath. He was no ordinary fool. As an excellent BOSS, even though he was poor, he had learned a lot of knowledge.
At least it is known that the Gods Continent has three recorded eras, and even a legendary Mythic Era.
No one knows how long ago the Mythic Era was.
But he knew that the beginning of the First Era was more than 30,000 years ago...
However, there was a gap between the Mythic Era and the Dragon Era, with only a few legends about Deity surviving to this day.
Lotner was equally incredulous that something so ancient could be preserved here. He suddenly pointed to the two creatures in the mural. "If I'm not mistaken, those should be Behemoth and Dragon. What is that giant hand in the black hole that could unite these two mortal enemies to fight against each other?"
"Dark Creatures?"
"Magic?"
"It can't be Dark Creatures. I've never seen such a powerful Dark Creatures before. If that hand appeared in the Dark World, it could probably smash the Lord of Demons to pieces..."
"Then he must be a demon, but that doesn't make sense either; demons should be creatures from the underworld!"
The two of them chatted away, one after the other, with a strong interest in gossip.
William stroked his chin, pondering to himself, "Could it be that I've misunderstood my guesses about Gods and Demons? Could it be that the invaders are demons, and the gods are the original inhabitants?"
"As the great war began, the demons were no match for the Deity, and the Deity even reached Otherworld Space..."
But the demons left a contingency plan, sending their race into the Underground World, thus beginning an endless war of invasion.
"But that doesn't make sense. This mural clearly depicts the various creatures of the Gods Continent being at a disadvantage..."
Besides, not just anyone can enter Otherworld Space. Things like the Behemoth are clearly key combat forces, but they can't even fly.
"Or is this just a part of the records from the Gods Era?"
"Or perhaps, this is a history even more distant than the Gods Era?"
William pondered for a long time; he simply couldn't believe that this painting depicted the war in which the Deity withdrew from the continent...
He looked at the mural and became even more melancholy. No matter what, it seemed he couldn't open this ruin. It was so well-preserved; the murals hadn't even faded. What kind of incredible being left behind such a thing? How could he possibly open it?
