Chapter 9: The Mysterious Stone Chamber

Upo Sasra, a god in the Cthulhu mythos associated with the origin of life on Earth, and the Shogues population seems to have a connection to this deity.

The Book of Ebonne describes this great and terrible god as follows:

"Upo-Sasra is also the beginning and the end. Before the stars were born, Upa-Sasra was lying in the nascent world, lurking in the boiling swampsโ€”headless, disjointed, in the shape of a gray and volatile primitive reptile, the terrifying prototype of all beings...... There is also a rumor that after eternal reincarnation, all living beings in the world will return to it. โ€

Li Zhi coveted this god who was believed in by the Hughgos population...... Of course, it's not its prototype, and I don't expect it to jump out to save itself.

If the god was anything to count on, he should have stepped forward long ago when Shogues was enslaved by the ancient race.

However, until the fall of the ancient race, and the scattered distribution of Shugues, this god was not seen to help its people in the slightest.

It wasn't until later that most of the Shogues were enslaved by the Deep Divers, and they were once again in their job as builders and weapons of mass destruction, without a hint of an oracle.

Even so, the almost foolish Hughgoth believed in the god as ever.

What Li Zhi really covets is this part written at the back of the Book of Ebon:

"In the mud that surrounds Upo Sasra, there are huge stone slabs hewn out of the stars, inscribed with the incomprehensible wisdom of the gods before the opening of heaven and earth."

The incomprehensible wisdom of the gods! Focus: Wisdom that you can choose to learn by yourself!

Nearly endless amounts of technology, magic, and even everything that humans can't comprehend! You can learn on your own! It's a lot of golden thighs! You can't die if you see it! I can't afford to lose it! Look at the top of the world!

And it's not like Yogsothos who directly bursts his head and cramms indoctrination.

In other words, the wisdom recorded on those steles is equivalent to a god's position.

Just like the nine futons in front of the Hongmeng Supreme in Oriental mythology.

You don't need to understand everything, just a few words, which is enough to make Li Zhi soar day by day!

In the Cthulhu mythos, there is a miraculous elixir called "Liao Dan", and it is because of this elixir that Lao Tzu of China got a glimpse of the Tao.

And Tao has two interpretations in Cthulhu's worldview:

One is Yogsothoth.

The other is the wisdom of going back infinitely to the roots.

And this incomprehensible wisdom was carved on stone tablets by the gods, and was guarded by Upo Sasra, who was called the source of self-existence.

In the message that the god of dice told Li Zhi, there were a few words mentioning that he could help Xiugues gain the favor of this source of self-existence.

Although Li Zhi couldn't understand why the god, who had a good opinion of the people who helped his people, refused to come to help in person.

But in order to get that little favor, even if there was a 1 in 100 million chance of being able to contact those stone tablets, Li Zhi categorically decided to do his best to help this Great Cultivator.

Regain the glory of the ancients, the revival of the great race of Shogoth!

Although he made up his mind, Li Zhi was still quite nerve-wracking about the conditions proposed by the other party.

How do you get rid of deep sea divers?

As for the combat effectiveness of both sides at present, it is completely impossible to put it on the front.

The Shogoth clan can't directly join the battlefield, otherwise, after the Deep Diver releases a few Shogoth Binding Techniques, they will properly become two or five boys.

And human beings ...... Li Zhi felt that the human beings in this world had long been aware of the existence of these deep divers, and acquiesced to the existence of these terrifying races.

I really don't understand why those politicians would seek skin with tigers.

"Although we have signed a contract, I still have to ask, is there a time limit for what needs to be done by me?" Li Zhi asked distressedly.

What he fears most is that he doesn't have time.

"I don't know...... about that," Theseus dragged with his tentacles what might be the part of his jaw that might have been called his upper and lower jaws, which it might have mimicked on its own...... But it must be before the Lord of Raleiye breaks through the cage. โ€

Li Zhi silently ...... The difficulty of this regiment has increased again.

"At the Deep Diver Settlement, I've heard that the city is key." Hughes also looked vaguely uneasy after saying the title, "And when he came ashore, there was a power that limited the ancient race, and a divine power that limited the old rulers. โ€

"I think they're trying to dismantle these ...... Sealed thing. โ€

"I felt some kind of barrier in the sewers, so I jumped off before the fishmen commanded me." With that, Theseus scoffed, but the voice was slightly harsh.

"I've seen that barrier many times, and that's why I've killed all those stupid fishmen."

"Your city...... Very, very ...... Great. โ€

Faced with the conjecture in his head, Hughes applauded unreservedly...... With its tentacles.

"If I'm not mistaken, this sewer must have been built according to the seal of the ancient race...... It's just that some pipes have been added as a cover-up. Hughes said, strapping John around his body with one tentacle and heading deeper into the pipe, then waved the tentacle twice to let Li Zhi follow.

And it is still explaining "no...... It may be much more than just an old seal. The city has put a lot of pressure on me, and although this old seal doesn't seem to have been opened, there seems to be a myriad of magic flowing through these pipes. โ€

"Ahh I think the people who built the city drew some imprints on the evolution of life in the pipes. โ€

"Insects that accidentally fall into the sewers, fish fry extract magic from them, and some sapient creatures are filtered out, so those hybrid divers have lived in the city for so many years and still don't notice it......"

"Your accomplices are in front, don't you mind if I knock them out and change their memories, right?"

Li Zhi twitched the corner of his mouth, "Don't mind, please start with a tap." โ€

So, the other two who ran to the front and were still praying for the two behind were sold by the object of their prayers.

"Hah! This man's memories are really interesting...... "Hughes, when he was revising the memories of the Christians, apparently peeping into his memories and relish them.

After about ten minutes, Theseus withdrew the tentacles wrapped around the heads of the three of them, and said that it was done.

"When we get out of the sewers, they'll wake up automatically, and they'll think I'm chasing you from behind, and you're going to burn those damn fishmen." Theseus arranged everything, and after revising his memories, he tied the three of them to the tentacles and carried them.

"Do you want a service on the Theseus? Comfortable seating and attentive service...... I can feel that the position is not far away, but you're too slow, my friend. "Those deep divers taste really bad, in addition to the fishy smell and the smell of pigs, vomit - the damn smell of heat." โ€

Suddenly, there was a foul smell in the sewer that was not very good, which was enough to make people sleep.

Li Zhi pinched his nose and shook his head anxiously to refuse the tentacle cushion, but quickened his pace to show that he could keep up.

Go around the four corners.

A wake, two sleeping living men with a two-and-a-half-boy Shogues came to a sewer outlet.

"There's no way out." Li Zhi looked at the dead end with a wall, and next to him was the ladder leading to the outside.

Theseus walked straight to the wall, "No, I can feel that damn sense of barrier coming from here, too!" โ€

"I'll see!" Hughes waved his tentacles, chanting a series of incantations, and then the tentacles slapped against the wall, and the two columns of wall tiles spun into each other like cogs, forming a door that was more than two meters long and wide.

Through this door, Li Zhi could see that inside was a small stone chamber, with an altar in the middle, and several stone pillars standing on the wall of the stone chamber.

An iron pillar with a large number of mechanisms connected to the altar in the middle from the top of the stone chamber, and under the nine stone pillars, sewage flowed.

Amazingly, when the sewage flows, it seems to touch the mechanism under the stone pillars, making a sound similar to chanting.

The rapidity of this sound is linked to the velocity of the sewage.

Li Zhi can think that this tsunami seems to have touched something terrible.
