Chapter 396: Bloodshed in the Giant King’s Court
CHAPTER 396: CHAPTER 396: BLOODSHED IN THE GIANT KING’S COURT
Dream Battlefield.
This was a corner Baiyu hadn’t paid attention to for a long time.
Its entrance is a special wooden coffin, which requires consuming points each time to enter.
When Baiyu first entered, there was only a single map inside, the one where he obtained the Pupil of Chongming.
However.
After he defeated the Chongming Bird, no new maps appeared.
There was only a single Breeding Room scene.
That was specifically for cultivating rare level extraordinary creatures.
To this day.
He has only discovered Blood Worms among the rare level extraordinary creatures.
Now,
The parchment with "Lament of the Giant King’s Court" flew into the coffin with unstoppable momentum, and then the entire coffin made a creaking sound and surprisingly opened by itself.
What does it mean?
Baiyu saw this situation for the first time.
He took two steps into the coffin and found that the parchment had embedded into the surface of the coffin, still emitting light and heat, but slowly fading.
With a mindset of trial.
He lay into the coffin.
That is, choosing to enter the Dream Battlefield.
In an instant.
Vast amounts of information flooded into his mind.
"The Stone-Blood War ended with the destruction of the Giant King Olosedon, a battle that spanned over a hundred years, involving countless races.
In the end.
It was just a lengthy and boring deception.
The giants ultimately fell by their own hands.
They were born with immeasurable power, possessing a strength that made heaven and earth change color.
However.
The Giant King’s great power, which helped to enlarge the giants, also led them to their downfall.
An axe severed His head.
A cup drained His blood.
A serpent devoured His spirituality.
An egg stole His skin and bones.
The death of the Giant King caused the giants to be utterly defeated.
Yet, the sun once prophesied that the King would return, and the giants await the day when their divine spirit awakens..."
The back of the parchment revealed these poem-like words.
Baiyu didn’t know what language this was, but he could sense the meaning it conveyed, along with its vast murmurs echoing in his ears.
Lying in the coffin.
He was startled to find.
In addition to Floating Cloud Mountain, where the Chongming Bird was, another map had unexpectedly appeared among the selectable scenes.
The Bloody Giant King’s Court!
With hesitation in his heart, he chose this scene.
Soon.
The coffin lid closed tightly.
Darkness filled Baiyu’s vision.
After a slight dizziness, he found himself inside a massive palace, towering a hundred meters high, with floors paved in gold and beams crafted entirely out of fine jade.
The entire palace was desolate and bleak.
Not a single soul was present.
The ground was scattered with golden, solidified blood.
This blood had dried up for countless ages, merging into one with the golden floor, difficult to recognize unless examined closely.
Tap... tap...
Footsteps echoed in the silent hall.
Baiyu was startled.
Earlier, when he came in, he had carefully observed the surroundings with the Pupil of Chongming, confirming there wasn’t any living being.
The Chongming Bird is a divine level exotic beast.
The Pupil of Chongming, derived from the Chongming Bird, supposedly also possesses divine-level recognition capabilities.
There shouldn’t be anything slipping past it.
"Are you, recognized by the Giant King’s will, doubting my existence?"
A voice sounded from behind.
Baiyu turned around.
A tall, tan-skinned young woman stood at the grand entrance of the Giant King’s Court, wearing black armor only covering her private areas.
A heroic aura exuded from her face, with two tear moles at the corners of her eyes.
Tall and beautiful.
Somewhat like those sporty beauties on Earth from a past life.
This was Baiyu’s first impression of the woman.
Of course.
The mention of the Giant King, that was what Baiyu was very interested in.
He scrutinized her, pondering over his words, "And you are?"
"I am the seventh daughter of the Giant King, Anselin."
"I was the only witness within the Giant King’s Court when the Father God was devoured by the gods, and now, I’m also the sole survivor."
"My spirituality was embedded in the scroll, passing through a thousand years. This was the last glimmer of the Father God."
"Someone needs to remember the history of the giants."
Anselin’s face bore a reminiscing expression.
Baiyu couldn’t comprehend her completely, but it didn’t stop him from understanding this piece of history.
"So, what’s the story behind the giants’ history?"
Baiyu inquired.
Anselin’s expression grew solemn, with traces of nostalgia in her eyes:
"It is said, the first giant was born from the heart of the sun.
His blood was molten lava.
His body was immortal rock.
Elves resided on him, with lush vegetation thriving.
He was the great entity who created all giants, our Father God.
Endless solitude.
Compelled Him to endlessly create life like Him.
The giant clan continuously grew, but this eventually attracted the attention of the other divine spirits.
The Stone Origin Gods, along with their followers, waged an unprecedented war.
The Father God was the Venerable of the Blood Origin Gods, the deity possessing powerful natural dominance.
He was besieged and devoured by the Stone Origin Gods. His subjects became tools and food.
Originally, the Father God wouldn’t have been defeated.
However.
Not only the Stone Origin Gods, but the Blood Origin Gods also betrayed him. The Red Cup was the greatest traitor."
Anselin’s face bore hatred.
But as Baiyu listened to this part, he found it somewhat familiar.
Red Cup?
Is it the Red Cup related to the Rain Master’s Sacrifice?
These divine spirits.
What is their connection to the seven True Divines of today?
"You, recognized by the Father God’s will, are thus able to come here."
Anselin slowly faded away with a sorrowful expression, yet gazing at Baiyu with delight, "Back when the Father God fell, a great divine power from the sun foretold, a new king shall arise in the court, leading the giants to rise again!!"
Baiyu furrowed his brows.
Listening to Anselin, it seemed like he was in trouble again.
Leading the giants to rise again...
Just hearing it, you can tell how absurd it sounds.
Even a terrifying monster like the Giant King died, and does Baiyu even know his own limits?
In the previous murmurs when entering the Dream Battlefield, it mentioned.
Axe, cup, serpent, egg.
If the cup refers to the Red Cup, then the egg must be the Reverse Incubation Egg.
And alongside them, the axe and serpent, these too must be divine spirits.
From what is currently known, there are four divine spirits that are enemies of the giants, and unless Baiyu’s head was caught in a door, he wouldn’t lead the giants to rise again.
Moreover.
Even if he had such a thought, he lacks the capability to do so!
Anselin understood implicitly.
Those who kindle the Divine Fire must endure the trial of tribulation.
This is what remained from the Giant King’s prophecy.
She bit her lip, knelt down on one knee, and said with a lowered head:
"Perhaps you still harbor hesitation and confusion in your heart, but even if you are unwilling to intervene in the divine conflicts, I humbly ask you to give me a chance for redemption!"
Redemption opportunity?
Baiyu’s attention focused on her as he perked up.
