Some people say that the reunion of old friends is a cause for celebration, but for Zhang Cheng and Lavern it is the opposite, full of suspicion, nervousness and hostility.

Lafern, in particular, has always felt that the other party belongs to the kind of guy who is extremely crazy, dangerous, and full of ambition.

And the indifferent Zhang Cheng feels that except for himself, everyone else is an NPC, they live for themselves, die for themselves, and even the whole world is just a game, and those seemingly powerful enemies are like bosses in the game, destined to become the experience points of the legendary protagonists.

In fact, he's tired of the game and can't wait to end it all.

Unfortunately, strength isn't all there is to the game.

To be precise, the trouble he urgently needs to solve now is more between solving puzzles than crushing enemies with great force.

After all, he can't just destroy the earth and wander aimlessly in the vast universe.

After a long silence, Lavern finally spoke again tentatively, "You didn't come here specifically to find me, did you?"

"Looking for you? No, you think too much of yourself. Zhang Cheng chuckled and shook his head. "A god like you, tainted by mortal faith, was doomed from the beginning to reach the pinnacle of power. What I'm looking for are ancient gods who have gained their power from the planet itself. ”

"You're looking for the Old Gods?!" Raffron's eyes widened in surprise.

"That's right! I believe that you who have the blood of the gods in your veins know best that many ancient gods did not really die, but were forced to fall into a slumber for thousands of years. It only takes one moment for them to reawaken and reappear in front of the world. How about it, are you interested in digging them out one by one with me?" Zhang Chengyi invited with deep interest.

Lavern's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about the dangers and benefits, and he quickly smiled and asked, "What can I get out of this?"

"A lot! Exactly, all but a few important pieces of information are yours. Zhang Cheng directly gave the other party a condition that he could not refuse.

"Deal!"

Lavern agreed without thinking, without even asking what he would do to guarantee that he would keep his promise.

The reason is very simple, he already feels that the once weak young man in front of him has grown far beyond his imagination, and there is no need to lie and deceive at all.

"You made a wise choice! Trust me, you will be glad for the decision you made today. Here, this is a magic messenger device, if there is any news, write it down and throw it in it and burn it. Finally, it's nice to see that you're still alive, if it's Fang Bin's lake, greet Faust for me. Goodbye, dear old friend......"

As the last word blurted out, Zhang Cheng directly turned around and disappeared at the end of the dark bomb shelter.

Looking at his fading back, Lavern touched his chin and muttered in a voice that only he could hear, "Looking for the sleeping Old God, it seems that he must be planning something, and I need to inform Faust." ”

......

After figuring out the owner of the hermitage, Zhang Cheng once again lost his clues and goals, and began to wander around the world aimlessly as a traveler, searching for organizations that he believed were suspicious.

But in the end, without exception, all of them have nothing to do with the ancient gods, and most of them are conspirators and careerists.

Just when he wondered if it had been a mistake for him to summon an asteroid to destroy the Order in the first place, Adam sent a trident made of unknown metal and divine power.

"Don't tell me this is the weapon of the legendary Sea Emperor Poseidon!" Zhang Cheng asked, holding the trident in the palm of his hand, feeling the huge power contained inside.

It is undoubtedly an artifact that can control the waters of the sea, easily destroying cities and villages along the coast of any continent.

"Yes, master. It is not only the weapon of the Sea Emperor Poseidon, but also the key to unlock one of the seals. And this seal is at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, which is also the remnant of the fall of ancient Atlantis. Adam replied unhurriedly.

"So my next stop is the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean?" Zhang Cheng twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, he understood the true meaning of the phrase "Heaven can forgive sin, but self-inflicted sin cannot live".

Because of the dark gate, the deep waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans are now full of terrifying monsters up to hundreds of meters long, which is completely forbidden to humans.

Although these guys don't pose much of a threat to the Titans, they can greatly reduce the efficiency of exploration, which originally only took a few days, but now it is estimated that it will take a few months to a year or two.

"Master, this is the sea area where I analyzed the ancient Atlantean civilization based on the data, you can use it as a reference. Adam took out the materials he had prepared and laid them out on the table.

As an artificial being, he looks the same as when he was born, still so young and focused, but there is a trace of vicissitudes in his eyes.

"Okay, I see. Keep looking for the key to open the seal, and if you open another one, the sleeping gods will awaken, and I will be able to figure out what happened hundreds of millions of years ago. ”

After that, Zhang Cheng took the trident and jumped off the cliff, plunged into the icy sea water, and shuttled at the bottom of the sea at a very fast speed.

For a full week, he traversed the Arctic and finally entered the Atlantic Ocean, where he began to search for the ruins of Atlantis, which was said to have sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Of course, this is not easy, especially under the harassment of the sea monsters in the other world, the slightest deviation from the original position, coupled with the scarcity of fish and marine life at the bottom of the deep sea, there is no way to use the fish to explore the surrounding area on a large scale, so I have been looking for two or three months in a row and have no gain.

What's more, the legend of Atlantis dates back thousands of years, and a lot of silt and sediment has long obscured the city's original appearance.

But as the saying goes, hard work pays off.

In the fourth month, Zhang Cheng finally found a pyramid-shaped structure about 150 kilometers away from a small island.

However, like most ancient ruins, the main part of it is completely buried under the silt, and there are a lot of rusty bronzes and clay pots everywhere around it.

"Interesting! It seems that this is the Great Western Continent in Plato's records, the city blessed by the legendary Sea Emperor Poseidon......" Zhang Cheng curled the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a happy smile.
