CHAPTER 343: CHAPTER 297: IN THE DEPTHS OF THE TEMPLE (KEVIN, SLOW UPDATE, SORRY)_2

"Let him be freed, it’s the only thing I can do."

"You hear the Guardian of Chasing Light Village speak in a tone almost like a murmur."

"You wanted to say something comforting, but after thinking for a long time, you only managed to say two words... my condolences."

"Soon, the white-hot flames died down. Sera took out a jar from her spatial pouch and collected the ashes of the ’Lam Priest’. Once everything was done, the three of them set off again."

"Before long, you arrived in front of the temple."

"As the giant door opened, a stench wafted towards you. Light cast inside, and you could see countless vein-like things writhing on the walls, connected to one embryo after another. The ground was covered in slime, and from the darkness afar, countless malicious eyes stared, making your scalp tingle and sending chills down your spine. It’s hard to imagine that this is a temple ruled by an ’Old God’s’ Holy Light."

"The environment is too harsh, really quenching the desire to explore. I wonder if ’Sera’ has any way to clear it out... With that thought, you glanced subtly."

"Lena understood your intentions, took a step forward, and with the blazing red flames shining, swept away all the disgusting things inside with a scorching fire."

"This time, it’s the smell of burning, but still within the bearable range."

"You nodded silently,

"And at this moment, a voice containing discontent emerged from Da Bai’s fierce and gentle voice beside your ear... Daddy, daddy, why is this woman so in tune with you, you two must have an unusual relationship."

"This little troublemaker, just wait until I get back to teach you a lesson... Thinking this to yourself, you didn’t pay any heed to ’Da Bai’.

"You continue to delve deeper.

"Evidently, Lena’s fire only cleaned the surface, without burning away the horror lurking beneath. In the darkness, malicious gazes remain, and evil auras stir invisibly."

"But you pay them no mind, lacking even a desire for vigilance,

"Because you clearly understand, with ’Da Bai’ here, no matter how fiercely the lurking evil displays itself, it wouldn’t dare act with true insolence."

"Soon, you passed through the outer layer, encountering many polluted temple warriors along the way. Just as with ’Lam’, Sera cremated them all and collected their ashes."

"As a massive Holy Light symbol came into view, you arrived at the front of an enormous stone door."

"Sera’s expression was heavy, saddened by the misfortunes befalling her comrades. The softness was gone from her voice as she spoke... Ahead lies the ’Throne Corridor’, once you pass through here, you can reach the land of the ’Holy Light Ancient God’s’ aura."

"Lena patted her on the shoulder, saying nothing.

"You originally wanted to pat her too, but on your shoulder, ’Da Bai’ began to shout again, with phrases like ’You can’t fail Mom’ and ’How can you be such a person, Dad’, filling your ears and causing irritation, making you dismiss the thought.

"After a brief hesitation,

"With Sera Lena’s assistance, the stone door was quickly opened, revealing a dim corridor lined with grooves and scratches sprawling across the walls.

"You spoke in a heavy voice... Proceed with caution, the evil entity that caused the ’Holy Light Ancient God’s’ downfall and allowed Chasing Light Village’s land to survive should also be in there, do not be careless."

"But Da Bai spoke with great confidence... Go in boldly, Dad, don’t worry, even if it’s just an evil entity, if the ’Desolate Mother’ came, she’d flee in panic too."

"You wanted to ask, how does a little thing who was just born two days ago have such confidence?

"But recalling the fear the ’Desolate Mother’s’ corruption showed in front of Da Bai, you ultimately didn’t voice it.

"Lena and Sera nodded, not completely relaxing despite Da Bai’s words, realizing that this was a place where even the strongest ’Temple Warriors’ suffered, maintaining a high level of caution despite high confidence.

"Before long, you ventured into the corridor...

"It was then that you realized, the sprawling grooves and scratches were not without pattern, but rather words, just very chaotic.

"From fate’s revelation, you understood the words above.

[Failed again, how could this be, according to the ’thing’s’ revelation, I should have been able to cultivate a true body of the Old God, freeing myself from the ’Ancient God’s’ flaw.]

[Eh, lost three days of memory again, what exactly happened during this time.]

[My flesh actually came to life, no, I don’t mean I came to life, because I’m already alive, but my flesh, each of my cells seem to have their own consciousness]

[I ended up pregnant, very surprised, but the ’Desolate Mother’ said that only by nurturing a new Old God’s body within me could it fully merge with my spirit.]

[No, not right,]

[The embryo within me is becoming more and more bizarre,]

[How could this happen, the Desolate Mother deceived me, She didn’t intend to help me create an Old God’s body, She wanted to use my body to create a vessel for descent, to descend from the Desolate land into the real world]

[No!]

...

Seeing this scene, the first thought that flashed in Yang Qizhou’s mind was... The ’Desolate Mother’ swindled for wealth and lust, causing pregnancy, utterly heinous.

The second thought was... The ’Holy Light Ancient God’ is genuinely wretched.

"However, in the old days of the land, such calamities should be considered normal. If a game character didn’t have ’resurrection’ and the ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune’, their fate might be even more tragic than the Holy Light Ancient God."

Yang Qizhou sighed with emotion, shaking his head, and focused back on the game.

...

"The marks on the walls should have been scratched out by hand, it seems the ’Holy Light Ancient God’ had long since gone mad, just that the people of Chasing Light Village didn’t know... nor do they know if the ’Desolate Mother’ has descended."

"You think to yourself, feeling quite curious about the ’thing’ possessed by the ’Holy Light Ancient God’ that caused all this."

"Passing through the dim Throne Corridor, you quickly came to the innermost location of the temple. During this time, monstrous creatures filled with malice and aggression always remained, yet due to ’Da Bai’s’ aura, they never dared to attack.

"The first to strike the eye is a gigantic corpse, five meters tall, slumped against the wall, its belly heavily swollen, a gray-brown hand already tearing through the belly, as if trying to crawl out, and all this ceased at the last moment.

"A voice full of sorrow echoed, it was ’Sera’, but fortunately, although she was upset, she hadn’t lost her reason, rashly approaching the deceased ’Holy Light Ancient God’.

"You analyzed the scene ahead... It looked like the ’Holy Light Ancient God’s’ belly wasn’t torn open, it seems the ’Desolate Mother’s’ attempt to descend failed, this Ancient God used some unknown method to ultimately prevent this calamity, but the disaster didn’t end. This Evil God who holds the ’Nest’ power is still attempting to descend into the real world through ’Chasing Light Village’, the horror at the Sacrificial Altar and the revived ’Chasing Light Village’, as well as those monsters, have already proven everything."

"Lena and Sera didn’t relax because of this, their expressions solemn, clearly harboring the same thoughts."

"You exchanged glances, then tacitly began searching this seemingly divine dwelling again.

"Soon you noticed a peculiar altar, standing two meters high, with a headpiece floating atop it, with terrifying inscriptions emitting mysterious power arranged around it.

"But this couldn’t stump you.

"You used ’Destiny Replay’, recreating with the ’Residual Ring of the King of Truth’, rewriting reality, opening a passage, and walked up to the altar.

"And just then...

"The hand that had emerged frozen from the ’Holy Light Ancient God’s’ belly suddenly moved."
