Chapter 2123 - 1631: The Loser (Second Update)

"No wonder it’s the God King Tomb, hidden in this vast Star Sea, this feat is truly unprecedented."

Morrick and the others said, eyes filled with excitement and thrill.

"So, Sect Hierarch, what should we do next?"

Bai Li asked with a slight movement in her eyes.

"Follow me! Remember, do not make any unnecessary actions, or you will trigger the mechanisms here, and no one will survive then."

As Kavise said this, his expression turned slightly distorted, as if recalling the mishap of exploring the first time.

"Yes, Sect Hierarch."

Bai Li respectfully asked.

Kavise then led the group forward, climbing the steps.

If you look up along the steps, you can see a towering Divine King statue at the end, the entire statue as large as a planet, evoking immense awe.

The further they went in, the more inexplicably anxious everyone felt, and at this moment, Morrick noticed the floating rectangular objects around them, covered with special chains.

He swallowed hard and bravely spoke up.

"Did you see those floating gray rectangular objects?"

"Yes! Mechanical Coffins."

Bai Li and the others carefully looked at the vast Star Sea in front of them and indeed saw many floating objects, which at first glance looked like drifting meteors, but were actually mechanical coffins.

"Who is inside these mechanical coffins?"

"They should be the funerary idols."

...

"Stop discussing, follow me, don’t look at things you shouldn’t."

Kavise suddenly instructed Bai Li and others.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded with taut nerves.

After briefing them, Kavise wasted no time in quickening his pace.

Bai Li and the others immediately followed in an orderly manner, now finding only the slightest sense of security by staying behind Kavise.

After all, Kavise had been here before and survived, so he should know more about the inside story than anyone else.

Time ticked by second by second.

Unknowingly, Kavise and others had ventured deep into the Star Sea, and looking back, they couldn’t see the path they came by.

Xiao Jie turned his head to look around, gazing at the brilliant stars, and curiously asked Enlock.

"Master Enlock, is this really the real starry sky?"

"Not necessarily the real starry sky. If it were, we wouldn’t need to move so cautiously; we could just fly straight up."

Enlock said with narrowed eyes.

"Makes sense! Then, Master Enlock, shouldn’t we get a chance to shake off Kavise and leave the exploration team?"

Xiao Jie tentatively asked.

"No, don’t separate, because we have no idea about the interior of this God King Tomb. There are mechanisms everywhere, and all of them are extremely deadly. Say no more, look below the starry sky!"

Enlock squinted and said.

Xiao Jie and others followed his gaze and looked down, seeing that the starry sky below was very dark and bottomless.

"Can’t see anything, it’s pitch black."

"Look carefully, isn’t the dark starry sky faintly showing a vortex pattern? If I’m not mistaken, this should not be a natural phenomenon, but a man-made trap. Anyone who gets close will be swallowed by its terrifying gravity. Even if you are piloting a VI generation mecha, it’s likely to end badly."

Enlock said gravely.

Upon Enlock’s reminder, Xiao Jie and others observed once more and found that beneath the dark starry sky, there indeed appeared to be many vortex patterns faintly visible.

Their nerves were even more on edge, not daring to breathe heavily, fearing any small mistake.

At this moment, Kavise was expressionless as he continued leading them further in.

Ancient Legendary-Level Catastrophe Shadow.

In a luxurious room, Su Mo stood with his hands behind his back, his face full of weariness, staring blankly at the displays inside, his expression quite complex.

At this time, Anason, standing respectfully to one side, said to Su Mo.

"Lord Su Mo, most of the relics from his lifetime are here, and he instructed that these things are left for you."

"I understand, you can leave now."

Su Mo took a deep breath and said slowly.

"Yes."

Anason respectfully withdrew.

Su Mo walked to the bookshelf, seeing various items inside, including the Divine Creation Tablets he gave the old man placed on it.

The Devourer, with a deep voice, said to Su Mo: "The first black isolation box on the left contains Negative God Fragments, about five pieces, collected by the old man over the years."

Following Xiao Shi’s suggestion, Su Mo took down the black isolation box, opened it, and glanced at the Negative God Fragments lying quietly inside, then sealed it back up uninterestedly.

Su Mo then picked up another box beside it, opened it, and found two special bank cards inside.

He picked up one bank card and examined it carefully.

"This is a Star Ring City bank card, but there shouldn’t be much money left in it, the old man likely spent it all."

The Devourer explained to Su Mo.

"Hmm, what about this one?"

Su Mo curiously looked at the other one.

"This one is from the Positive Universe, the Cosmic Alliance Government Bank, and should have quite a bit of money in it, though you probably won’t need it."

The Devourer responded indifferently.

Su Mo then placed the bank card back and continued examining the bookshelf’s contents.

Soon, he found a file folder, opened it, and was slightly startled.

The file folder contained documents, all of which were property certificates.

"Where are these property certificates from?"

"From the Positive Universe, and all these are bleached industries."

The Devourer explained.

As Su Mo examined further, he found himself increasingly astonished. The old man’s assets weren’t just wealthy; he spoke up.

"How much are these properties worth?"

"How valuable do you think an Empire’s inheritance is? Despite the old man’s extravagance, an emaciated camel is still bigger than a horse."

The Devourer said proudly to Su Mo.

"Finally, some good news. I was worried I couldn’t support the people down below."

Su Mo heaved a sigh of relief.

"Look at you, having so little ambition."

The Devourer couldn’t even bother to ridicule Su Mo.

At this moment, Su Mo’s gaze fell upon the Divine Creation Tablet he had obtained from Icaroya, momentarily lost in thought.

Staring at the tablet, Su Mo’s expression showed intense complexity as he chatted lowly with Xiao Shi.

"Xiao Shi, can you tell me about the old man? I find I don’t understand him at all, still utterly confused."

The Devourer was silent for a while, then spoke to Su Mo.

"It’s not that the old man deliberately kept it from you, not telling you his past, but there was really no way to put it into words. Because his past life was indeed that of a failure."

"I understand."

Su Mo replied solemnly.
