Chapter 27: The Strongest
Su Yun didn't care much about the spatial prompt, compared to the last spatial prompt, this time the prompt showed that the time of the medium-sized spatial link was reduced by more than ten days, and the world exploration increased by 0.1%, these did not mean anything to him, and there was no difference between twenty-one and thirty-two days.
Climbing through dozens of stone stairs, Su Yun finally saw the palace standing above a hundred meters in the air, the golden gate was hundreds of meters high, there was no glare or anything like that at the entrance of the palace, and the gate of the palace was different from other buildings below, these two gates were not closed, nor open, but open.
That's right, it's a slit, not pried open, but a slit that is open on its own.
He didn't rush into the palace, but looked up at the sky, he wanted to see what the artifact that was suspended in the air and suppressed everything looked like.
Yes, he saw clearly, he saw clearly.
The golden frame, with an intoxicating luster, seeps out with a faint white light from above, rendering the surrounding blue sky, and inside the delicate frame, is the surface of glass, so transparent that it seems to be non-existent. Inside the glass container, there is an unknown golden sand powder that is pouring from the top half of the glass to the bottom little by little.
It's an hourglass.
When the golden sand powder touched the metal plane at the lower end, it seemed to fall into an abyss, and disappeared in an instant, correspondingly, the golden sand powder in the upper half of the glass ball seemed to be inexhaustible, as if there was an endless source of generation in it.
Su Yun matched this artifact with the item in his memory at a glance, it was a complete fit, this hourglass had a resounding name.
Zhongya hourglass!
In the original game, this equipment is almost a must-have equipment for most mage heroes, and even many heroes use it as their core equipment, and in the backstory, Zhongya Hourglass is a legendary artifact.
Packed in the hourglass is the ashes of an ancient god named "Zhongya", although I don't know what kind of god it is, but so many gods died in ancient times, and in the end, the ashes are qualified to be made into artifacts, and there is only one such person. It is conceivable that Zhongya should be one of the more powerful or special among the ancient gods, from now on, Zhongya Hourglass can suppress all things in this heaven and earth, and its power can be fully proven, and only such a glorious empire can use Zhongya Hourglass to save its imperial capital.
Although I don't know how long this place has existed, such a large and glorious city should always be recorded in history, but Su Yun has not seen any history in the history of Ionia to explain this ruin.
Combined with the establishment of the abyss of corruption, it is not difficult for him to guess that this place should have existed since ancient times!
There is no doubt that this great empire no longer exists, and has been replaced by the politics of the Ionian federation and the religious rule of balanced sects. What kind of terrifying cause and effect led to the fall of such a big empire, it is now unknown, but the other party must have spent a lot of money to seal such an imperial capital in the ground, and the other party spent such a big price to seal the entire imperial capital, it must not be for commemoration, there must be their considerations.
The purpose of the other party doing this is nothing more than for the resurgence of the empire, for the revival of the sect, and for the inheritance of the eternals, but no matter what the purpose, the door in front of him has been opened, and if someone has come, then the things that can be obtained in it are afraid that they have been looted.
But facing the Zhongya hourglass in the air, Su Yun was still a little greedy, but the greed was greedy, this hourglass was fixed in mid-air, one he had no means to fly up to get it, and the other was that the azure sky next to the hourglass should be a kind of defensive magic array, he couldn't even bear the glare in the dazzling avenue, not to mention the defensive formation specially designed by others, the last point that made Su Yun give up.
The best thing for him to do now is to go in and wander around, get enough world exploration, and wait for the medium-sized space-time link to be completed, even if he doesn't get anything, this world exploration alone can get enough ideal rewards.
Su Yun walked into the gate of the palace gently, to his surprise, the palace was pitch black, even the light coming from the crack in the door was swallowed up by this deep darkness, and there was no imaginary luxurious corridor in the palace, and the lights were bright. Su Yun was a little hesitant about the darkness, he didn't know if there was a deadly trap in front of him, he didn't know if it was just a dangerous bait, so he couldn't get any world exploration at all when he walked in the darkness.
However, this world has been sealed for countless years, no matter how subtle the trap is, it should be in a dilemma where there is no energy to call on by now, Su Yun took a deep breath and decided to move forward. It's not like he didn't think about lighting a torch or something, but the darkness in it seems to have life, capable of swallowing up all light.
At this moment, Su Yun suddenly saw a faint purple brilliance at the end of the darkness in front of him, as if it was the exit of endless darkness, the white hole at the end of the black hole. At this time, Su Yun also clearly saw that the time and space exploration he had obtained was rising wildly, and it seemed that he was about to come into contact with the truth about this prehistoric ruin!
Finally, he saw clearly the source of the purple brilliance, it was a throne, a throne that sank into darkness and silence, magnificent, magnificent, exquisite, and splendid. However, the throne, which is so well made, is incompatible with this darkness, and the purple color also makes the throne look a little eerie. If there were a few words to describe the feeling, it would be death, shadow, corrosion, gore, chaos.
There was a man sitting on the throne, this person sat on it without moving at all, the purple robe fell casually around him, his withered white hair was fluffy and draped on his back, his face was hidden in the cloak, it was not real, his body seemed to faintly exude purple light, hazy and mysterious.
But these are just appearances, the first feeling that this person gives people, that is, powerful, very powerful, unrivaled powerful!
He didn't seem to be sealed by space-time, but rather like he was sleeping, in front of a powerful being like him, it seemed that the space-time seal was just a layer of protection, and the huge energy in his body could easily tear apart this layer of protection.
Su Yun thought that he had already been able to see the other party, and there was no reason why the other party had not found himself, since the other party had let himself get to this position, then the other party obviously didn't want to kill him, otherwise the other party would have been able to make a move when he stepped into the dazzling avenue. After all, he is just a first-order minion, and falling into the hands of these powerful people is like an ant, how can an ordinary person be interested in teasing an ant.
After thinking deeply, Su Yun turned his mind, immediately knelt down on the ground, and then bowed down to the purple-clothed emperor: "I inadvertently collided with the Holy Land, not intentionally, I hope the ancestors will forgive me!" After saying that, he looked up at the Emperor who was sitting on it, and saw that he didn't react, so he took a few steps forward with courage.
"Humble ant-like thing, tell me how you got here." A voice sounded from Su Yun's mind.
"I fell from the upper floors of the abyss of corruption." Su Yun replied calmly.
"The abyss of corruption? Is that what the ants of today call my magical abyss? What an ignorant and stupid bunch of human beings. The Emperor's voice was high and low, as if he was disdainful of the whole of Ionia and even the entire Runeterra, "What race is ruling in the Runeterras now?" ”
"It's the Terrans, and there are some yodelers, other races, and maybe some void creatures and spirits." Su Yun replied after thinking for a moment.
"It's ridiculous, so many powerful ancient races still haven't been passed down in the end? In the end, it was ironic that the Terran won the final victory. Mole ant, I want to give you a mission, and if you can accomplish this mission for me, I will give you unimaginable benefits. "The Emperor's voice is steady and magnetic.
"Can I ask about the Emperor's name?" Su Yun asked calmly, the mission that this Ancient Emperor asked him to do is definitely not something that can be completed in a while, maybe it will not be completed until the next time he comes to this world, in this case, he only needs to obtain this person's name, and when the time comes, he can go to the database of the Doomsday Space and check the world exploration degree that has been obtained by analogy with similar time and space.
"Mole ant, the name of this emperor is not something that mortals can know, even the gods of the god realm will tremble when they hear my name, after you know my name, you can't shirk my mission, are you sure you want to know?"
Su Yun naturally wouldn't be afraid of the other party's words, but he couldn't behave so decisively, so he could only pretend to be hesitant and said, "I know so many things, presumably the emperor can't just let me go." ”
"If you refuse my proposal, I will wash your memories and send you back to the surface, nothing will happen here, but if you know my name, then even if I clear your memory, your memory will inevitably be contaminated with my breath, as soon as you leave this space, you will be perceived by those guys in the divine realm, with your current strength, they can send a god to loot your memory fragments, and speculate that I am still alive.
"Then if I agree to your terms, how can you prevent me from being discovered by the gods of the divine realm?"
