The Eternal Ruins have descended, and powerful figures from Four Seas have gathered here.
After waiting for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, everyone...
The massive ancient building suddenly emitted a thunderous tremor.
Looking ahead, the two ancient doors at the main entrance of the ancient building had already opened automatically.
What puzzled Lin Heng was...
Faced with the opening of the Eternal Ruins, these people did not seem to be in a hurry. Instead, they flew over slowly and showed no intention of rushing to enter.
Seeing the confusion in Lin Heng's eyes, Dijiang smiled and explained it to him.
No treasures will appear on the first day the Eternal Ruins open.
"According to past practice, each time it opens, a new layer will be available."
"This is the ninth time the Eternal Ruins have been opened so far."
"In other words, the battle for this opportunity will take place on the ninth level of the Eternal Ruins."
"I'm sure you're curious about what's inside, so I'll accompany you on a tour today."
After receiving Dijiang's answer, Lin Heng smiled and nodded.
Following Lin Heng Dijiang, with their Good and Evil Doppelgangers and the other Twelve Ancestral Witches close behind, Lin Heng and his group were among the last to enter the Eternal Ruins.
As soon as Lin Heng stepped into the ruins, he saw some stone paintings carved on the stone walls on both sides.
Since there was no rush, Lin Heng began to carefully examine the stone painting.
The stone paintings on the first layer seem to record the scene at the beginning of the world.
The stone carving depicts a figure wielding a giant axe, cleaving through chaos to create a new world.
This concludes the first layer of stone paintings.
Lin Heng and the others followed closely behind and stepped into the second floor.
The stone carvings on this level record that a person created heaven and earth and divided the world into six layers.
Upon seeing this, Lin Heng couldn't help but frown.
Six layers of world?
Could it be that my five-layered world, and that of Primordial Chaos, is not the limit?
Above the fifth layer of the world, is there an unknown sixth layer?
Continue walking towards the third floor.
The stone carvings here record a catastrophe that Shincheonji experienced.
All the original races perished in this catastrophe.
Lin Heng vaguely sensed that what was recorded in the stone painting seemed to be connected to the Primordial Chaos Universe.
Continue walking downwards.
The subsequent stone carvings record the arrival of a human in the new world.
He brought life to this new world.
But in the sixth layer of stone paintings, another unfamiliar person appeared.
Unfortunately, there is no written description; judging solely from the stone image, one can only discern that this person seems to be doing something secretive.
In the stone paintings on the next seventh and eighth layers.
Then a new character appeared, who quickly stepped from the first world into the fourth world.
But in the end, this person simply vanished.
The mysteries before us are multiplying.
Lin Heng couldn't resist his curiosity and quickened his pace to enter the ninth floor.
Upon entering the ninth floor, Lin Heng's eyes widened in surprise.
Surprisingly, there are no stone paintings here.
Dijiang also explained with a smile.
"The stone paintings on each level will only appear after someone on that level has obtained the opportunity to do so."
"Rest assured, Master, the Eternal Ruins will not disappear immediately after the opportunity on the ninth level is obtained."
"Once the stone paintings on this floor are completed, the owner can come and view them."
Lin Heng nodded upon hearing this, then asked a question.
" Dijiang, didn't you notice anything unusual about this stone painting?"
Dijiang gave a wry smile after hearing this.
"Master, it's not that we didn't notice the problem."
"But some things are beyond our ability to guess."
Dijiang stopped there, refusing to continue.
It was as if they were being restricted by something.
Since that was the case, Lin Heng did not pursue the matter further, and the group headed directly into the ninth floor.
At this moment, cultivators from all corners of the Four Seas have arrived here.
Lin Heng and his group were the last to arrive, and having also been viewing the stone paintings along the way, they were also the last to reach this point.
To Lin Heng's surprise, the cultivators from all over the Four Seas were gathered together and chatting, a rare occurrence.
The harmonious atmosphere before us is just like that of close friends.
Dijiang shook his head and chuckled.
"This atmosphere can't last long."
"Starting tomorrow, this place will become a bloody battlefield."
"To obtain that opportunity, even close friends might turn against each other."
As he spoke, the Emperor seemed to recall the past struggles for the Eternal Ruins, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Even Dijiang could show such an expression.
It's not hard to guess just how fierce the struggle for these Eternal Ruins is.
Suddenly, Good Avatar spoke up and asked a question.
" Dijiang, who obtained those eight opportunities before?"
Lin Heng looked over curiously upon hearing this.
Wasn't it said that if this opportunity were obtained, it might allow one to surpass the current Lord of the Four Seas?
Since it appeared eight times, shouldn't there be eight powerful figures at the level of the Lord of the Four Seas?
However, things were not as simple as they seemed.
Dijiang then transmitted his message to Lin Heng and his Good and Evil Doppelgangers.
Prior to this, there had been a total of eight Eternal Ruins.
Four of those times were obtained by the current Lord of the Four Seas.
As for the remaining four times, one of them was obtained by Primordial Chaos.
Lin Heng was stunned when he heard this.
Primordial Chaos is the Sovereign of this universe.
Even he's vying for this opportunity?
However, upon further reflection, Lin Heng understood.
In its own universe, something that even it didn't understand appeared, so Primordial Chaos naturally had to come and take a look.
And indeed, things turned out exactly as Lin Heng had predicted.
Primordial Chaos came in disguise that time.
The purpose is precisely to uncover the truth behind this Eternal Ruins.
Unfortunately, although he did get a chance.
In the end, however, Primordial Chaos still couldn't figure out the origin of the Eternal Ruins.
After that, Primordial Chaos never appeared again within the Eternal Ruins.
There were three more opportunities, which were obtained by the previous three of the Lord of the Four Seas.
It could be said that three of the current Lord of the Four Seas established their positions by killing their predecessors through a series of fortuitous events.
This is also something Dijiang wanted to tell Lin Heng.
The appearance of the Eternal Ruins may very well lead to a change in the selection of the Lord of the Four Seas.
Having learned from past mistakes, the current Lord of the Four Seas will certainly be very cautious about this.
Dijiang then reminded Lin Heng.
If he were to obtain an opportunity, he must hide himself immediately.
Otherwise, they are very likely to be killed by some scheming individuals among the Lord of the Four Seas.
After listening to what Dijiang said, Lin Heng understood how fierce the upcoming battle would be.
Cultivators can fight to the death for a single treasure.
Not to mention, what they are fighting for now is the opportunity to potentially replace the Lord of the Four Seas.
It would be perfectly normal for them to resort to any means necessary for this.
