"Older Brother, that voice... seems to have disappeared." After a while, Daenerys noticed that the voice in her mind never appeared again, and whispered uncertainly, but her body was still tense, and she did not dare to relax at all while holding on to Viserys.

Viserys did not respond immediately. His eyes were still fixed on the ruins of Altar shrouded in fog. Although the voice of the self-proclaimed "non-existent person" just now was intermittent, the amount of information contained in it frightened him.

The other party not only knows his identity like King Ghidorah, but also seems to have a certain level of understanding of him now. It is very likely that he is a powerful "god" with Prophecy's abilities just like Lord of Light.

"Dany, it has not disappeared, but it has retreated into the shadows now." Viserys said coldly, and his mental power was also explored again. This time, he was no longer trying to forcefully penetrate the twisted shadows, but followed the flow of magic power on them to sense the secrets hidden under the debris.

As his mental power deepened, broken pictures began to flash back in his mind.

He saw that a long time ago, the Children of the Forests held a grand ceremony here. They stabbed the Obsidian Dagger into the heart of a First Men captive, transforming him into the original Others.

He also saw the will of Cold God, full of death and coldness, coming here, intertwined with the Root Magic of Children of the Forest here, creating an existence like Night's King that goes against the common sense of human life.

However, deep in these images, Viserys also captured some extremely weak, but extremely familiar fluctuations, which seemed to be... the power of Lord of Light?

No, it's not just Lord of Light, there seems to be some strange power system that is different from Magic, which is the power of faith.

"This place is no longer just a Altar who created Others." Viserys's face became a little ugly, and he finally understood why the voice called him "the non-existent person".

In this ancient ruins dominated by Cold God and Children of the Forest, there are still the remains of many other "gods", and one of them has the same ability as Lord of Light, which can Prophecy.

Viserys's consciousness further eroded into the ruins, and the existence that had just spoken did not stop it at all. It was even helping Viserys's spirit enter the special area inside.

After a period of exploration, Viserys finally figured out where this place was. His tense body relaxed a little, and he was no longer as worried about this place as before.

It turns out that these are all Old Gods of the original Westeros who were killed by Cold God and Night's King, and the reason why they are not dead now is because of the power of faith.

These Old Gods were originally based on various Magic elements of Westeros, such as conventional vegetation, rivers, rocks, and more advanced wind, rain, thunder and lightning.

They separated these from the pure magic elements and used them only for themselves, becoming powerful Wizard with independent means. By using this, they transcended their own limits and were called "Old Gods" when they succeeded.

However, when Children of the Forest and First Men began to worship these natural phenomena, these "Old Gods" also gained the power of faith.

However, at that time, they Old Gods only believed in their own improved strength and were dismissive of faith, just like they had always looked down on those Narrow Sea beings on the other side who relied on faith to become gods.

However, with the outbreak of the Others war, Cold God and Night's King showed their powerful strength, causing Ice and the magic of death to instantly sweep across the entire the North.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of Children of the Forest and First Men who believed in Old Gods were massacred, and the magic elements that the Old Gods gate originally relied on were also expelled and frozen, causing these Old Gods to lose the source and anchor of their power.

Their divine bodies were shattered by Night's King. It was difficult to kill them completely because of their own detachment, but their consciousness was sealed under this cursed land by Cold God.

In the end, they could only survive in the endless darkness and cold, relying on the weak remaining faith that they had looked down upon before.

"So, that voice just now is also a certain Old Gods who was defeated before?" Viserys thought secretly in his heart, the vigilance in his eyes slightly reduced, replaced by a thoughtful look.

If this is the case, then everything makes sense. These Old Gods and Cold God must now be sworn enemies who will never stop fighting. Although they are weak, they are still eager for revenge and eager for someone to break this long ice.

The powerful power contained in Viserys's body is undoubtedly a life-saving straw for these Old Gods who are now trapped here, or a sharp sword that can pierce the cold.

However, how do they know themselves? You must know that Viserys knows these "Old Gods" sealed here through the previous understanding. It is impossible for them to understand the outside world, let alone know themselves, and they will not use their remaining power to deduce their own life experience.

They will only pass by as time, and finally be completely obliterated. If there were not the North people who provided them with some power of faith, they would have been obliterated long ago. Those twisted shadows are Old Gods whose spiritual consciousness has been completely obliterated.

Viserys frowned slightly, and his fingertips subconsciously rubbed Daenerys's small hand and the rough scales on King Ghidorah's neck. The doubts in his heart were not completely dissipated.

The voice that called him just now was too specific, and that fatalistic sense of certainty was not just based on a simple guess about his identity.

Unless... someone is deliberately leading them to infer that it is Cold God or Night's King, or, it is Greenseer or Lord of Light.

Just as his thoughts were surging, the broken pictures in his mind suddenly froze in one place. It was the man who had just taken action. The frozen picture showed the roots of a huge Weirwood tree, and in the deepest part of the tree's roots, there seemed to be a tough white halo wrapped around it.

The aura exuding in the halo does not belong to the cold color of Cold God, but a purer magic power, but with a familiar sense of compassion, it is Greenseer.

"That's it." Viserys's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the person who contacted them and told them his news was Greenseer.

Immediately afterwards, a sealed memory fragment was slowly pushed over along Viserys's mental tentacles.

The picture is no longer recording a grand war or a game scene between gods, but an old figure, Greenseer. He is embedded under the huge Weirwood tree, and his skinny fingers are gently stroking a painful human face on the root of the tree.
