Chapter 225 - Tomb of the Gods {Weekend 2nd Update}
Barnes babbled about the history of Emperor Stern, and Yun Jie listened attentively, thinking that by this way he would know something about the kingdom. Actually, he didn't know that Barnes was diverting his attention and giving him no time to suspect what was going to happen next.
According to Barnes, Emperor Stern strayed into this world like Yun Jie. When Emperor Stern first set foot on this land, he was just in time for Rachel, the queen ant at the time, to lead the soldiers to fight against the old ancestor of the armor-piercing dragon clan, Qiu Kai, in Bitro, the collective name of the Central Plains of this world, to start a battle to the death.
In the face of the Qiu Kai forces with their own armor, the Ant-Clan distanced themselves and engaged in a hard tug-of-war with crossbows, trebuchets and armor-piercing dragons. And Qiu Kai of the armor-piercing dragon clan fought wave after wave, and finally besieged Rachel and her remnants of the defeated army on a dry river beach. Just as the Iron Hoof of the Armor-Piercing Dragons was about to crush Rachel and her soldiers, Emperor Stern appeared. With a single move, he killed Qiu Kai's army and saved Rachel Queen. Since then, the entire Ant Clan has been loyal to Emperor Stern to this day.
After hearing this, Yun Jie believed that history always carries many deceptions. For example, the historical records of Meizu. He thinks that if Stern really got here by mistake, then the first thing he thought about was how to get back. Nor are the Ant-Clans necessarily loyal to Stern out of gratitude, as Barnes suggests. It is very likely that Stern took control of the ant queen at that time, enslaved and brainwashed the real ant people!
"Well, Mr. Ron, does that sound familiar?" Barnes asked.
"You don't mean that my appearance just now is like that of the Stern God Emperor back then, right?" Yun Jie said.
"It's very similar! I believe you were sent by Emperor Stern to save us. Barnes said sincerely.
"Don't think about it, it's just a coincidence. I don't want to be cannon fodder for your empress. ”
"Hehe, in order to eliminate the factors of instability in a country, it is inevitable that someone will sacrifice. Don't just look at the small things, look at the big picture, what Queen Julie is doing is right. Barnes knew that Yun Jie had a problem with Zemo's unsuccessful death, and explained.
"That's your business, I just want to go back sooner now. ”
"That's that, that's. Do you know why Emperor Stern left and came back after saving the queen ant, our ancestor Rachel?"
"Has he ever left?" Yun Jie was surprised.
"Because, Emperor Stern feels that this place is much quieter than the outside world, and there are not so many racial wars. He said that here he found peace of soul. After that, he left this world and came back after dealing with the outside. And then there are us. That's why we're different from those soldiers. Because, we have the purest blood of Emperor Stern!" Barnes said proudly.
"How did Stern get back to the outside world?" Yun Jie didn't hear anything else, he only cared about how to get out here.
"His Majesty the Divine Emperor is in...by the way, it's the tree of life you said, which brings out a gate that glows with golden light. On the door, there is a circle of light that rotates over and over again. There were all sorts of gems, and it was through that door that he went back. Barnes said.
"Oh, isn't it the Gate of Vientiane?" Yun Jie said excitedly.
"The Gate of Vientiane? When His Majesty the Emperor returned, he sealed the door with his soul and added a lock, which was later called Stern's Gate. And to open that lock, you have to use the North Pole Stone in your hand. Barnes pointed to the Arctic Stone Path in Yun Jie's hand.
After listening to Barnes, Yun Jie was basically sure that Stern's Gate was the Gate of Vientiane! Playing with the sparkling Arctic Stone in his hand, Yun Jie said, "Why is this stone called the Arctic Stone?
"Hehe, to be honest. Although the Arctic Stone has been a legend of the Queens, no one has ever been able to open Stern's door!" Barnes pursed and told the truth.
"You mean, Empress Julie is making fun of me, and if you can't open it, you have to teach me how to open Stern's door and make a fool of me!" Yun Jie said in a fire.
"Don't be angry, Mr. Ron, it's true. That's why I took you to the Tomb of the God of Stern first, when the God Emperor died, there was a trace of residual thoughts. As long as your cultivation is tested by the God Emperor, he will activate the Arctic Stone. And the method of use has been passed down from generation to generation of empresses, and only the empress knows. So, Your Majesty is not lying to you. Barnes hurriedly explained.
"That means that for so many years, none of you have passed the test!"
"That's right. Since the Divine Emperor, none of our descendants can compare with the Divine Emperor. Therefore, no one has ever been to the outside world. Emperor Stern is a god, haven't you challenged a god? Besides, it's just a wisp of his residual thoughts, which shouldn't be a problem for you. Barnes said with relief.
After hearing this, Yun Jie just wanted to slap himself in the mouth, he didn't have anything to brag about! This time it's good, even if Stern is not a god, at least he is a sub-god! I'm just a middle-level little person, and his wisps of residual thoughts are also a lot of pressure on me.
"What's in the tomb? Hey, you don't know. ”
"Hehe, the Tomb of the Gods contains the armor of the Emperor Stern and endless treasures!" Barnes emphasized.
"Oh, the armor, the armor of the sub-god, it's really attractive! doesn't it mean that the treasure is behind Stern's Gate?" Yun Jie said with interest.
"It's just a rumor. The real treasure lies in the tomb of the gods. Think about it, if you get the endless treasures and the personal armor of the gods, you can dominate the world and be the master of this world. Who wants to leave? You say, don't you?" said Barnes, seductively.
'Old boy, are you hinting at me?' Hmph, it's a pity that my brother is not interested in armor and treasures. ’
"Hehe, when I open the tomb of the God Emperor, brother, I see that you are a good person, so I will give it all to you. Yun Jie said.
"Ah, you're kidding. Barnes smiled and shook his head, and suddenly, his old face flushed, "You really want to give it to me?"
"If it can be opened. Dude, your desires are revealed. Yun Jie patted Barnes, who was a little out of shape, and said.
"Uh-hehe, even if you send me, I have to pass it on to Your Majesty. I don't have the guts—" Barnes smiled and led Yun Jie deeper into the tunnel.
The two continued to walk forward, and Yun Jie and Barnes chatted with each other. But the two eyes looked around, and quickly memorized the complicated entrance of the future tense in their minds, in case something was wrong and ran away. Ahead, there is another golden gate. There was a team of heavily armored guards guarding the door, and when they saw Yun Jie and the others coming, they shouted, "Who is coming? This is the royal forbidden land, leave quickly!"
"It's me, Barnes. Barnes said in the face of the guard's shouting.
"It turned out to be the old man of the Northern Heavenly King, disrespectful. May I ask what you are doing here?" said a man who looked like a leader.
"On the orders of Your Majesty, bring this gentleman to worship my god. "Barnes deliberately covered Stern's Gate in case the soldiers broke the plan.
And Yun Jie didn't notice it at all.
"Is there a decree from Your Majesty?" the leader asked.
"Nope. When is it, how can there be kung fu!" Barnes sighed.
"Lord Barnes, what's going on up there, have the three Heavenly Kings been destroyed?" the leader asked.
"Rest assured. Emperor Stern bless us and send this gentleman to protect us. The Three Heavenly Kings are finished, and even the Fierce Armor-Piercing Dragon Force has been wiped out by this gentleman. Barnes focused on introducing Yunjie to the guards.
"Qiu Lie is here too!" The guard leader had a terrified expression in his eyes, and it was conceivable that Qiu Lie's name had been engraved in the terrifying corners of the ant people's minds!
"Her Majesty is sending someone to clean up the mess, let me take this Mr. Ron around first to find out about our ant clan. What, do you still need an edict?" Barnes urged when he saw that the leader had something to say, and was afraid of the extraneous branches.
"No, no. Since this gentleman is kind to our people and has the empress's commandment, he doesn't need it. Please. The leader of the guard quickly turned around and ordered the soldiers behind him to open the gate and let Barnes and Yunjie in.
In an awe-struck gaze, Yun Jie walked into the door, and after that, his eyes suddenly opened up. Ahead is a large detached space, the size of two football fields, filled with trees of all colors, rockeries and water, and Stern's Tomb is hidden in the middle of this garden.
Stern's Tomb is like an ancient castle built in the deep forest, and the long stone steps lead to the gate of the Tomb of the Gods in the Black Hole, which looks eerie.
In particular, the two ever-bright lamps on the stone pillar at the main entrance of the tomb are like flickering ghost fires.
"Please, sir. Barnes was the first to step up the stone steps.
As soon as he entered the area, a familiar floral scent entered Yun Jie's nostrils. The refreshing sweet fragrance made him feel homesick all of a sudden!
'This is...' Yun Jie looked around strangely, looking for the source of the floral scent.
Sure enough, it was!
Next to the huge stone pillars of the Stern Mausoleum, there were two stout plane trees, and the branches of the plane trees were blooming with a base of plane flowers. Underneath the sycamore flowers are emerald green leaves, which glow in the sunlight and exude an emerald greenery, which is pleasing to the eye.
Unexpectedly, there are plane trees here. When I was a child, the family yard was full of these trees. Every time the sycamore blooms, the whole courtyard is filled with the fragrance of sycamore flowers. As soon as I smelled this smell, I remembered that when I was a child, my mother and I picked up sycamore flower shells under the tree and played with necklaces...'In the other world, I happened to encounter the trees in my hometown, which reminded Yun Jie of my mother and was full of emotion.
"Please come in, Mr. Ron. Barnes stood on the stone steps and stretched out his hand to ask.
Yun Jie didn't notice it, and the tips of his hands trembled slightly.
