On the sixth floor of White Harbor, in an experimental research institute that was built like a prison, Lu Wu, John Fogel, and astrologer Daryl passed through layer after layer of blockades, and after layer after layer of crystal stones, they saw a blocked large box.
The box engraved with heavy runes was opened, and the black cloth was lifted off, revealing a pillar with its back to them. A statue of a god was carved on the front, and on the back were densely packed words that exuded an ancient atmosphere.
On the front wall, the hood of a death row prisoner was taken off, revealing a confused look. The moment he opened his eyes, he immediately looked at the half-broken white stone pillar in front of him and the statue of a woman on top of it.
In an instant, blood spurted out of his body and he fell to the ground like a bloody man.
An even more horrifying scene appeared. The male death row prisoner began to become thinner as the blood squirmed. His brown hair turned pure black and his sky blue eyeballs turned gold.
“Puff!”
But afterwards, his body seemed unable to withstand this change, and it collapsed and exploded in an instant, turning into a pool of broken pieces.
Seeing this scene, Lu Wu and the other two in the distance couldn't help but turn pale and took a step back together. This scene was so horrifying and terrifying that it made people tremble.
Because even they don't understand why this situation happened.
The three of them who have reached this point are definitely the strongest group of extraordinary people in the world. Even if there are people stronger than them, at least they are within the range of their known strength.
But this kind of power is completely beyond their understanding.
A seemingly ordinary stone pillar with a statue carved on it. Just one look at the statue and the whole person's life form will be assimilated towards that woman, without any characteristics and without feeling any change in power.
Just because I took a look at her.
Lu Wu carefully observed the corpse, and suddenly seemed to think of something. He turned around and asked John Fogel: "Do you smell a familiar smell?"
John Fogel was stunned for a moment, and looking at Lu Wu's eyes, he immediately thought of: "The body of a god or demon!"
Lu Wu nodded: "The immortal body of gods and demons is the body that is closest to the form of gods and demons, but it cannot be called a god and demon. According to the ancient records in some ruins in the Mountain and Sea Realm, some places where ancient immortals and demon gods live will spawn various spirit beasts and monsters because of the interaction of the immortal and divine auras."
"It is said that this is where the first monsters came from."
Lu Wu finally said: "Do you remember the monsters on Youdu Fairy Island? It is rumored that there were no monsters on Youdu Fairy Island. They only started to appear after the Lord of Youdu appeared!"
"This is exactly in line with the legend of ancient mythology!"
John Fogel also said: "Although I have not seen the body of a god or demon with my own eyes, I have heard people talk about this characteristic!"
Astrologer Daryl looked at the half of the white stone pillar that was sealed in the depths, his face still showing shock. "But even if it is the body of a god or demon, it is not so terrifying. A simple statue can make a person's body transform into that of the other person."
Lu Wu raised his head, his eyes serious and heavy as he said: "This means that the existence of the stone pillar and the god on the statue are far superior to ordinary gods and demons."
Everyone looked at the stone pillar together. It was ordinary, with only a faint transcendental glow reflecting it, but it was not earth-shattering at all.
But the three of them suddenly felt a little creepy. Being so close to an existence that was far beyond the level of gods and demons, even the three of them could sense a dangerous aura.
John Fogel asked the people around him: "Have you investigated the source of this thing? Who brought it out from the Gate of Gods and Demons?"
Astrologer Daryl said, "I have asked someone to investigate. This thing is very likely not brought out from the Gate of Gods and Demons."
John Fogel frowned: "If it wasn't brought out by the Gate of Gods and Demons, then..."
At this point, John Fogel's face changed again: "How is this possible?"
Not only John Fogel, Lu Wu also suddenly felt that things might be far beyond his imagination. This thing has existed for more than a million years.
If this thing had not come out of the Gate of Gods and Demons, it would have been originally something on Earth, and had been lying quietly in the depths of the sea.
As the world revived, it was accidentally discovered by a monster, which swallowed it and brought it out to the sea.
This probably means that this thing was already on Earth hundreds of millions of years ago, even before the ancestors of mankind were born. This is a stone pillar, which was probably taken down from a palace, and its owner was probably a terrifying being far beyond the level of gods and demons.
Does this mean that in the very ancient history of the Earth, when the Earth was barbaric and undeveloped, people were already walking on this land
So where did they come from? Was there only one powerful god or demon on Earth, or were there countless powerful gods and demons
Then, in the history of the earth, is there indeed a period of history about the era of gods and demons
If it came from the Mountain and Sea Realm, then what is the connection between the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Earth? Was the opening of the Gate of Gods and Demons and everything that is happening now already predicted and arranged by these terrifying beings tens of millions of years ago
All three of them thought of this, and this was what really made them feel terrified and shocked. Even thinking about it carefully, they could feel a chill surging from the depths of their souls.
"The text on the back has come out. It was very blurry and a lot of it was missing, so I just sorted it out!"
"Let's go! Let's go check it out!"
The three of them turned and left. Not long after, all the text and patterns on the back of the white stone pillar were printed out. After the pattern was enlarged, it was printed on a white paper.
The white scroll was standing upright, and because it was magnified many times, it was very tall, reaching the roof.
Looking at it now, one can see complex and densely packed words imprinted all over it, but in the center of the words, one can see a large tree made up of thousands of vines entangled together, climbing on each other and stretching towards the sky.
The tree seemed to have transformed from an illusory mark into reality in an instant, turning into a giant tree with countless vines spreading out, blooming towards the sky and forming a ladder to heaven.
"The forbidden tree!"
"Mountain God Vine!"
The three people exclaimed at the same time and took a breath of cold air.
Although they are two different names, they represent the same existence.
Astrologer Daryl took a few steps forward, almost sticking to the tree, wanting to take a closer look at the tree, as if he was unwilling to believe it: "How is it possible that the forbidden tree and even the gate of gods and demons are related to this unknown existence?"
This giant tree is engraved on the back of the stone pillar. Although it looks somewhat different from the Mountain God Vine and appears to be more mysterious, huge and complex, there is no other tree of this form in the entire world, and it is definitely related to the Mountain God Vine.
Although the statue on the front was not printed, it can be seen that the sacred tree must be entangled with the statue, and combined with the supreme existence from ancient times, like two sides of one body.
The three people couldn't remain calm now. Behind this thing might be related to the entire earth, or even the reason why the door to gods and demons was opened on earth. Even the connection between the earth and the world of gods and demons might be found in it.
After a fierce argument between Lu Wu and the other two, he hurried away with his things, and even flew directly out of White Harbor and headed for the coast.
Originally, they just came here to investigate the items related to the gods and demons that had flowed out of the Gate of Gods and Demons, but what they discovered now far exceeded their imagination.
The half of the white stone pillar was once again moved by astrologers Daryl and John Fogel, and this time it was sent directly to the depths of the underground of the central tower. Except for the fifteen supreme senators, no one had the right to approach or view it.
