Chapter 398: The Origin of the Empire

Seeing that Ling Xiao's tears were reading without hindrance and concentrating, Bai Shengye couldn't help but ask:

"Why do you understand?"

"It's not a text carved on it, but a small magic array composed of runes, which should be for encryption. As long as you use your mind to activate the magic array, the true words hidden underneath will emerge. As for the protective barrier that covered it before, it seems to have been lifted by my dark elf blood. ”

Bai Shengye looked at the words that were rearranged and combined after they lit up, rubbed his eyes and said:

"I can't read the real text!"

He looked at it a few times before looking away, focusing only on the four corners of the ice barrier. As the water deepened, the ice crystal barrier began to tremble slightly and the grinding sound of being squeezed, and he silently strengthened the edges and corners of the barrier.

Ling Xiao patiently explained to Bai Shengye:

The text goes something like this...... The Central Continent and the Eastern Earth Continent were originally the territory of the Chijin Empire, and the Chijin was the most powerful and largest empire on the continent at that time, compared to it, the Thunder Family and the Light Elf Clan living in the Western Continent were just a small clan. ”

She paused, and her heart was also digesting the horror that the next account brought her:

"Ruler of the Red Gold Empire...... That is, the Chiyan family......"

Hearing this, Bai Shengye was also stunned for a moment.

"Chiyan family, I can't imagine that the Chiyan family has such a background. ”

Ling Xiao couldn't help but remember that the current territory of the Eastern Continent had always been incomplete, and even the ruins of the empire were difficult to find. I don't know where something happened. And this historical record on the stone pillar may be able to answer the mystery in her heart.

I once got a fragment of a mine explorer's notebook from Mr. Tsuruin, which recorded that when the local explorer went deep into the center of the earth, he could shoot flames from his fingers to dispel the demons and dark mist lurking underground, and he had more advantages than other explorers, and now he thinks about it.

She continued to read:

"The two brothers of the Chiyan family, inherited by the elder brother, he is an upright person, he is deeply supported, and after succeeding to the throne, he lives in Chiyan City, which is located in the middle of the eastern continent. The younger brother is obsessed with the mining of mineral deposits, providing the kingdom with a steady stream of gold and wealth. The two brothers were at peace with each other.

However, large and small mines soon spread all around Chiyan City, the center of the earth was hollowed out, the ground was full of holes, plants and trees withered, and the people complained.

The elder brother tried to stop his brother's overexploitation, but the younger brother refuted him, and the self-interested brother eventually started a war, usurped the throne of the elder brother, and drove the elder brother to a small remote town. ”

Ling Xiaotear suddenly pointed to a small line of notes next to the text and said:

"The city where my brother is...... It's the Demon King City later?!"

Bai Shengye, who was originally not interested in the records on the stone pillar, was also attracted at this time.

"I didn't expect that there was such a record on this stone pillar. It seems that the Chiyan family is the legitimate ruler on the mainland, but how did the ruling power fall into the hands of the Thunder family later?"

In his mind, countless questions and conjectures alternated, but he was still confused.

"Let's keep diving. Deciphering the words on this stone pillar may be helpful in this war. ”

Ling Xiao looked at him with tears in his eyes and asked for advice.

"Good. Bai Shengye nodded.

Their curiosity about the truth of history prompted them to continue to descend, and gradually, they forgot the darkness and silence of their surroundings, and focused only on reading that ancient history, recreating the images of the past in their minds.

After a long time, after Ling Xiao read a long paragraph in tears, he sighed, like an old man who had witnessed the vicissitudes of life, and said lightly:

"I know the Red Gold Empire, why it's called the Red Gold Empire. After the younger brother usurped the throne, he used locally mined gold as a raw material, and used the flames of the Chiyan family to fire and forge to create a red-gold crown.

Later, just like the legend we have heard, in order to show his wealth, he re-expanded Chiyan City, built a throne with gold, laid a staircase, and renamed it Chijin City, becoming the richest and most prominent city on the continent. ”

"Where did the Demon King come from?" Bai Shengye was curious about this question.

"Maybe the origin of the Demon King will be recorded later?......" Ling Xiaoxian searched the words with great effort, she manipulated her mind, and the dim words lit up again line by line.

"The record of the Demon King City...... Probably here, found. Until, on the day of the disaster......"

She read aloud.

"The greed of the empire ultimately invites the fate of destruction. They dug through the ground, unleashing darkness from the depths of the earth. Demons roamed the continent, cities were destroyed in an instant, people became demons, and curses from the gods spread across the land......"

"And the Demon King...... Demon King ......"

Just as she tried to read the words below, the ice crystal barrier felt the gravity of the ocean floor, "creaking" and shaking, and crystal ice chips fell on their heads.

"My ice crystal barrier is almost at its limit, and if I go any further, I'm afraid I won't be able to support it. Bai Shengye said.

"It's almost enough to see all the text!"

Bai Shengye injected mana again, causing the ice crystal barrier to thicken again, and he barely sank towards the pitch-black seawater.

With every inch of dropping, the sound of the ice exploding inside the ice was repeated, and if it really exploded at the bottom of the isolated sea, the two of them would be in danger.

Ling Xiao's tearful expression was still focused on the words, and her obsession with the truth made her ignore the danger for a long time, and the golden glow of the lines came into view again......

"Demon King...... The Demon King led the Red Flame, the Dark Night, the Hades, the Dark Elves, and the major races on the Eastern Earth Continent to declare war on the Celestial Gods...... They are fighting on the battlefields of the Central Continent......"

Reading this, Ling Xiao cried out in surprise:

"I understand, I finally get it!"

Until the last line of text on the bottom of the sea lit up with a golden light, and all the words were rearranged and combined into a blooming flower.

At the same time, the droplet-shaped red mark in the center of Ling Xiao's tearful eyebrows also lit up with golden light. Miraculously, her injuries healed little by little, the wounds scabbed off, and her body was refilled with strength.

Before she could sigh at the changes in herself, Bai Shengye asked with a bitter face:

"Can we go up?"

Ling Xiao nodded confidently, and great courage filled her heart, making her eyes seem to change as if she had changed a person. She said solemnly.

"I have a way to change this war. Back to the battlefield!"

Bai Shengye's mind was all about maintaining the ice crystal barrier, and when he heard that he could go back, he immediately controlled the ice crystal barrier to rise rapidly, so fast that Ling Xiaoxian didn't even stand firm, and fell to the corner of the barrier.
