Chapter 3051 Tomb Guardian

Whoos.h.!.+

The appearance of the Red Dragon Swallowing the Sun emblem made the black ball move faster. Thousands of black crystal threads that looked like nerves suddenly popped up and crawled into the armor of the Gold Sun.

The Gold Sun had employed the translucent, seamless technology of refining. There were not even obvious gaps in the joints that needed to be rotated flexibly. However, the moment the black crystal threads touched its surface, they vanished into thin air like a stream flowing into an ocean. From the depths of the Gold Suns spiritual residence, a soft noise echoed. After a Chi sound, a black hole appeared around the breastplate, from which a lot of bright gold spiritual flames spurted out. The breastplate slightly collapsed before it was opened up.

Li Yaos heart was beating so fast that it seemed that blood was going to spurt out from his chest to his brain and then his eyeb.a.l.l.s.

The Gold Suns spiritual residence was empty. There were no drivers, either. But after scanning carefully, he discovered that a small corpse was sitting cross-legged in the small s.p.a.ce.

The dead body seemed to have been stored in the Spiritual Nexus for thousands of years. The dried flesh and blood seemed to be made of metal and were emitting bright gold brilliance. There was no sense of hideousness or horror at all. Instead, it was as magnificent and dominating as a gold statue.

Its body size was much smaller than that of an ordinary person when sitting down. There was no telling whether it was born like this, or the water inside its body had completely evaporated after death, causing it to shrink.

There were no traces of armor or magical equipment on its body. The only thing that could be found was a Cosmos Ring on its finger. The Red Dragon Swallowing the Sun emblem was carved on the surface of the ring, too. However, nineteen iron nails that were thicker than fingers had been nailed into the top of its head. Every iron nail had pierced through the skull and the brain. The tips of the iron nails congregated in the depths of its

Soul Suppressing Nail?

Li Yao was secretly surprised. He could tell from the runes on the hat that it was a piece of magical equipment that was rarely-seen even in the era of the ancient Cultivators. It was mainly used to seal the soul so that the Cultivators with strong mental power would not turn into ghosts after they were killed. Some of them could even seal the soul in the rotten body and endure the excruciating pain that was worse than death.

However, there were no traces of fighting inside the Golden Sun. Li Yao did not believe that there was anything that could drive the Soul Stabilizer into the brain of the user of the Golden Sun.

He observed the posture of the body. Although he was in great pain, he was sitting cross-legged with his heart facing the sky, as if he had pa.s.sed away.

Could it be that the nineteen Soul Suppressing Nails were all injected into his brain by himself in order to seal his own soul and wait for a chance of survival?

Li Yao shuddered and was on full alert.

Of course, if the enemy was really trying to find a chance of survival from him, he wouldnt be scared at all. Mental compet.i.tions, possession, and anti-possession were exactly what he was best at!

Besides, his instincts told him that the golden corpse in front of him had lost all vitality. Not even a cell or a telepathic thought could pose any threat to him.

It was quite odd.

If the enemy had endured the inhuman pain in order to protect his soul, how could his soul have perished in only several thousand years?

It must be noted that Gao Xingce, a captain of an ordinary stars.h.i.+p from the Star Ocean Imperium and the captain of Sparkle, whom Li Yao had met in the depths of the sea of mithril below Boneyard, had been able to strip away his consciousness and memories layer by layer and preserve his remaining soul for almost ten thousand years.

The helmsman of Gold Sun or Armageddon could not be weaker than the captain of Sparkle, could he?

Li Yao looked at the black ball in confusion.

He needed Little Black to tell him the answer.

The black crystal threads that extended out of the black ball all swam to the head of the bright gold corpse and tied up the Soul Suppressing Nail. All the information that Little Black collected from the outside world, including Li Yaos rise from the magical equipment graveyard and his rise to become the best expert in the Pangu Universe, flooded into the brain that had already dried up and evaporated. The golden corpse did not move at all. Li Yao still could not sense the slightest hint of life inside it. But the brilliance on the surface of the black ball was even more brilliant and intense. Very soon, another black crystal thread extended out toward Li Yao.

It seemed to be a kind invitation.

At least the enemy did not invade his brain by force and tried to swallow his spirit and will.

Li Yao pondered for a moment. Of course, he could see the risks, but he didnt want to doubt Little Blacks kindness. Besides, the beast tide outside had already turned the world upside down. The mysterious heavenly tower might be hiding a world-destroying crisis, too. Li Yao was in desperate need of an answer from the Gold Sun or the master of the apocalypse, or at least a solution.

Li Yao made up his mind and ignored Lu Qingchens shout. He extended the strongest telepathic thought from the center of his eyebrow and connected it with the black crystal threads.

BOOM!

A lightning seemed to have struck deep inside Li Yaos brain.

With the black ball as the medium, the mental bridge between him and the bright gold corpse was completed.

In a trance, the world around him blurred and twisted. Countless shadows blinked and formed overlapping trajectories, as if everything that had happened in the museum of prehistoric civilization over the past ten thousand years had happened again within one second.

Even with Li Yaos G.o.d-level Cultivation and the weird soul from Earth, he couldnt help but exclaim because of the huge amount of information.

Then, he saw that the bright gold corpse in front of him slowly opened its eyes!

It was an extremely weird feeling.

There was not the slightest hint of life in the bright gold corpse, but the depths of its dry eyes were beaming with what could be called human emotions. Colorful colors were flas.h.i.+ng one after another. Li Yao could clearly sense the boundless dominance, the extremely furious brutality, the wisdom that was as deep as the ocean The twenty distinct and different human emotions, and even the confusion when faced with the boundless ocean.

As streams of information flooded in, Li Yao vaguely understood what was going on.

The owner of the bright gold body was indeed dead. Maybe he had been dead for thousands of years.

Before his death, he had refined his body into a warehouse and stored countless mental imprints inside as his legacy-a database that was equivalent to his flesh and blood.

However, his mental imprint was too intense and gave people a realistic feeling, as if the person in the picture would break away from the 3D light beam and turn into a real ent.i.ty after he took a picture.

Even the liquid crystal processor, which had stored a lot of his mental imprints, had been contaminated by his scent over the long years. The fact that he could kill an Armored Storm Dragon with one strike was indicative of his invincibility when he was alive!

Looking at his opponents eyes that were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with brilliance, Li Yao was extremely excited. He threw out the question that everyone would ask in such a situation. Are you the Supreme Emperor?

The bright gold corpse was silent for a long time.

Of course, the dead body could not talk, but the mental imprint stored deep inside the dry cells was quickly a.n.a.lyzing the ident.i.ty of the questioner, the current situation, and the outside world. After high-speed calculations, it gave the most appropriate response. The erosion of time is enough to destroy everything. The once-glorious imperium has long been reduced to ruins. Even the kingdoms that were rebuilt on the ruins have been burnt to ashes. The so-called Supreme Emperor is nothing but an absurd story. It is just a myth of comfort for the people who are s.h.i.+vering in the darkness and blood in the collapsing universe.

The ripples were transmitted to Li Yaos brain through the black crystal wires, as if the bright gold corpse was talking.

Besides, in the mysterious primeval relics, the unparalleled experts who once dominated the Pangu Universe and the rulers of the peak civilizations over the past billions of years are everywhere. Thousands of deities in every corner of the universe have turned into dry bones, weeds, bushes, and even fog in this place. Even the emperor of the human civilization is just one of the moths that are rus.h.i.+ng to the fire.

The bright gold corpse continued. Too much time has pa.s.sed. Countless pieces of information have been lost. Your Supreme Emperor has been obliterated just like all the other G.o.ds. I am just his shadow, his message his brand, and the guardian of the primeval relics or the civilization tomb.

Gravekeeper, gravekeeper, Li Yao had no time to care about the ident.i.ty of the other party. He clenched his fists and said urgently, Tell me, what is going on? What is the truth of the primeval relics? Why did so many elites of the ancient civilization perish in this place one after another? Even countless ancient civilizations were wiped out mercilessly. Also, whats the situation with the ferocious beasts outside? Why are the primeval civilizations attacking each other? Why have they turned into such hideous and terrifying ferocious beasts? What are they fighting for?

And you, or rather, your master, the real Supreme Emperor. Where did he come from? Who is he? What is he looking for in the primeval relics? Why is his Giant G.o.d Soldier Gold Sun and the Blood G.o.ds Giant G.o.d Soldier Apocalyptic Calamity here?

Our civilization, and yours, is in peril. I need answers to everything!

There is no answer.

The gravekeeper was silent for a long time. Then he replied to Li Yaos brain through the black crystal threads, Or rather, you are the answer. The Supreme Emperor left the laboratory and the legacy of tremendous information before his death because he hoped that the latecomers could follow his path and find the ultimate answer to the riddle that he failed to solve until his death Who are we exactly?
