Chapter 1495 - Guidance of the Death God

Chapter 1495: Guidance of the Death God

The orange cat took a bit of time before he managed to circle around the entire pillar just once.

This pillar was ridiculously big.

The scenes of battle carved onto the pillar were incredibly lifelike, depicting the scene of living beings gathering around the pillar in a spiral from the bottom to the top and the Death God standing at the very top of it, all fighting against the monster. The entire pillar exuded a resolute indomitable will that made one felt like it was very grand.

But other than that, there wasn’t anything else.

The orange cat didn’t give up and continued to release his inner sight to check but unfortunately found nothing out of the ordinary.

The orange cat floated in the water, silently pondering what he’d seen.

This place was hidden so well, how could I still not find even a single clue?

He looked up.

Only to see that the ceiling was filled with holes just like the one he came in from, not knowing where they lead.

The orange cat decided to randomly choose one of the holes and followed it.

He soon reached an abandoned divine palace.

This palace was also completely waterlogged, even the murals inside had already gotten blurry.

The orange cat followed the path back to the divine palace, then chose another hole on the ceiling and swam in.

——he soon reached another divine palace.

While this palace was also waterlogged, it was relatively intact.

Unfortunately, the divine palace itself was empty. While the murals on the wall depicted the scene of a bestial Deity fighting against an enemy, the enemy continued to be obscured.

The orange cat returned to the divine palace of the Death God again.

He silently floated in the middle of the divine palace, observing the numerous holes on the ceiling once again.

Seems like these things were actually secret passages...

But there are too many of them, I’m not sure when I’d be able to search them all.

The orange cat’s expression slowly became cautious.

——the divine palaces of every Deity were connected to the palace of the Death God.

For what reason?

The orange cat continued to swim while pondering this.

He soon returned to the enormous pillar.

On top of the pillar, the Death God maintained a posture of swinging his scythe to fight against the unknown enemy.

Everything remained silent.

The orange cat swam around the pillar.

If... every divine palace was connected to the divine palace of the Death God, this place surely has a unique meaning of existence.

The orange cat silently contemplated.

The Myriad Deities.

These secret passages.

The divine palace of the Death God.

Perhaps...

The orange cat’s eyes glowed briefly before touching the mural of the Death God with his paws.

Black flames rose from his body before they were poured into the mural.

It didn’t react at all.

But the orange cat instantly felt like he was encouraged and continued to pour more black flames of death into the mural.

——–if this was a regular mural, it would have already been destroyed by the Law of Death and not absorb so much black flames.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Suddenly, the mural began to give off a faint vibrating noise.

The orange cat quickly retreated after noticing that he had activated something.

The mural of the Death God remained stationary.

But the scythe that the mural was swinging began to give off a very thin line of black flames.

This line of black flames quickly moved through the dim water, flowed through the countless secret passages and went directly into one of them.

In an instant, the line had already vanished.

But the orange cat had kept a close eye on this, so as soon as the line appeared, he instantly focused on where it was guiding.

“Over there!”

The orange cat quickly swam forward a few thousand meters along the black ceiling.

He stopped just outside one of the passages.

Even if he took a closer look, this passage was basically the same as every other passage, there was literally nothing to notice about it.

But since the mural of the Death God had made such secretive guidance.

——this passage surely hides the secret of the Death God, or even the entire Pantheon itself!

The orange cat entered the passage and swam through it.

After swimming for a long while, even using [Shadow Shift] to increase his speeds, it still took over an hour for the other end of the passage to appear to the orange cat.

The orange cat slowed down.

He made sure to hold onto a sword in his mouth before jumping up and out.

Splish! Splish!

The sound of water continued to resound.

The orange cat hovered in mid-air, sensing the air flowing here.

He looked down.

Only to see that he had exited a graceful and beautifully crafted water fountain that depicted numerous deities sitting inside. The secret passage earlier was hidden under the water spout of the fountain, which was nigh-impossible to detect without looking carefully.

This was a divine palace, not unlike the divine palaces of the other Deities.

The only difference was that the divine palace was surrounded by a layer of profoundly dark water, as if there was a specialized barrier that prevented the water from coming in, leaving a small bit of empty land belonging to this divine palace.

“Meow”

The orange cat put the sword away and called out in a low voice.

This fountain hasn’t been submerged in the water, so there must have been some sort of intricate mechanism at work.

This mechanism had been here for at least two eras, but it was still able to operate normally.

The orange cat’s expression slowly became cautious.

Sure enough, there was a secret hidden in Death God’s guidance.

But I came from the distant future and only arrived here during the Age of Immemorial where the Law Behemoths ruled, an entire era after the destruction of the Pantheon——I have no idea about the culture, experiences, desires, or values of the Myriad Deities.

How would I understand the meaning of this fountain?

Gu Qing Shan stared puzzledly at the fountain.

He landed on the ground, dried himself off, then began to carefully study the fountain’s structure.

The base of the fountain was made from miniature statues of numerous Deities.

The Deities surrounded two statues while dancing and singing; partly as if they were asking for something, partly like they were celebrating something.

The orange cat looked closely at the two statues.

These two statues were a bit larger than the rest of the Deities, which were respectively at the two ends of the fountain.

The statue on the left held a golden book in their hand.

The statue on the right wielded a long-handled black scythe.

——–they were the Lord of Radiance and Death God.

Everything was derived from Radiance, then everything would be ended by Death.

These were the two most basic Laws of the Age of Myriad Deities.

The orange cat tried to touch the Death God’s statue and poured the black flames of Death inside again.

However, this statue’s outer layer was quickly burnt away by the flames of Death, exposing the metal inside.

——–this was a normal statue that wouldn’t be able to absorb the flames of Death.

The orange cat took a few steps back, tilted his head, then confusedly looked at the two statues.

I can’t find any clues.

The orange cat tried digging the ground with his paws. After clawing away the layer of dust, he found that the ground was metallic and fully engraved by unknown divine runes.

The fountain itself wasn’t too large, the outside of the divine palace was surrounded by water, all the statues here were also mundane without any unique mechanisms attached to them.

As for the Lord of Radiance and Death God...

The orange cat looked at these two statues with a contemplating look.

Does it need both Deities?

...No

If Shroud also came here, he would be discovered by that entity who was monitoring everything.

Just now, within the divine palace of the Death God, if even the Death God had to be so secretive with guidance, the Myriad Deities surely didn’t want any news of this to spread.

...The Deities must have had some sort of meticulous prearrangements.

The orange cat carefully examined the two statues.

After a bit of time, he suddenly stepped back and entered a mass of fog.

...

The Isle of Protection.

The training room.

Boss was suddenly surprised.

“Reneedol, I need to do something. I’ll return right away, so wait here for me”

After saying that, he hurriedly ran out.

...

At another location.

Scarlet had just put her black flames scythe back on the ground.

“Where are you, Rhode? You said that you needed to use this scythe?” Scarlet cautiously asked.

From her expression, she seemed like she really didn’t want to part with it.

Gu Qing Shan noticed that and gently told her: “I do, but I only need to use it for a bit. I’ll give it back to you later on”

Scarlet was happy again.

Although she couldn’t see Rhode or knows what he wanted to do, since he already spoke up, there would be no problem.

“Alright, then I’ll be studying Star Force usage again, come and find me after you’re done” Scarlet said.

“Hm” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Scarlet swiftly left.

Gu Qing Shan continued to remain in his orange cat form as he walked up to examine the black flames scythe and fell into thought.

——-in a single night, [Ghostly Shadow of Night] can only be used once, so he didn’t return to human form right away.

At this point, Boss came in.

“You said you needed the Book of Prophesized Destinies?” he asked the void of space.

“That’s right, I found a place that might have been related to the Death God and Lord of Radiance” Gu Qing Shan explained.

“Need me to come with you?” Boss asked again.

Gu Qing Shan shook his head: “We’re both under surveillance right now, so if both of us disappeared at the same time, the one who’s monitoring us might do something unexpected”

Boss pondered: “Indeed, the fewer people the better for these secretive operations, I would also be able to draw its attention while I remained on the Isle”

He took out the golden book and put it on the table.

“Make sure to stay safe, contact me if anything happens” Boss reminded him.

Gu Qing Shan nodded.

Boss turned around and left.

The only one left in the secret room as the orange cat Gu.

He touched the Scythe of Death with one paw and held onto the Book of Prophesized Destinies with another paw.

Lines of glowing text suddenly appeared on the War God UI:

[You’ve obtained both the Book of Prophesized Destinies and the black flames Scythe of Death at the same time]

[A certain authority hidden within the depths of the Pantheon had been opened to you]

[You’ve obtained a secret qualification]
