The pristine island on which Abner and Bernadette set foot is huge, and it is no less than that of the Blue Mountains.

On the island, huge trees of dark green and almost black stand tall, covering the ground and shading the peaks.

However, in the eyes of the two "information creatures", the entire island is shrouded in a faint and distorted "rules", which seems very depressing.

"This is the power of the 'Black Emperor', right?" Bernadette's dark eyes returned to normal, and she turned her head to ask Abner.

"Yes..... But because your father is not fully resurrected, this "twisted" power is not yet at the level of the true God..... So, the real danger doesn't come from Him." Abner said with his left hand as he pressed the monocle on his right eye.

At the same time, the "Staff of the Hermit" in his right hand pointed forward, and immediately a "fog" of "knowledge" enveloped him and Bernadette, and the figures of the two disappeared, disappearing from all traces.

This is the embodiment of the effect of "Mysterious Reappearance - Adam Behind Anderson".

They followed a path carved out by humans, and soon entered a forest of giant trees.

There was no birdsong, no roar of wild beasts, no crawling insects, it was as peaceful as time had frozen, dead as if there were no living beings.

According to the "Russell Diary", which Bernadette can roughly read so far, there should be a lot of transcendent beings here that have gone extinct in the outside world, and it must be quite lively normally, but now, she feels that she is walking through an uninhabited cemetery, and every giant tree is a tombstone.

Those extraordinary people with weak minds must have tensed up at this moment, carrying heavy pressure, and were on the verge of losing control, but Bernadette's expression did not change in the slightest, after all, she was extremely experienced in expeditions as she often "died", and these were just small scenes.....

What's more, she was accompanied by an incarnation of a true god, Abner, who knew everything in her heart.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, their eyes widened as the huge trees thinned out in front of them. Beyond the sparse woods is a large clearing teeming with untold creatures.

Among them were red dragons with flaming skin, treemen with wooden tumors for eyes and cracks for mouths, eight-legged wolves, giants with long limbs, green scales and oily feathers, feathered serpents that looked like hillocks just hanging there, and all sorts of creatures that were a mix of humans and beasts.

At this time, they are all facing one place, prostrate their upper bodies or heads, as if they are worshipping some unknown being,

None of them made a sound.

There are even a few humans in there.

One, two, three, four, five .... When Bernadette counted several humanoids, her azure pupils suddenly dilated slightly.

She remembered mentioning in her diary that the pristine island that her father had discovered had some kind of peculiar pollution that allowed the dead creatures to return to their origins, no matter where their bodies were.

Among the "knights" who followed Russell the Great, Green was killed first, then William and Pelly, but apart from the three of them, no one else died in the corresponding event, and at this time, there were a full five of those transcendent or mutant creatures.

Who are the other two?

She couldn't help but look at Abner beside her.

Receiving Bernadette's "inquisitive" gaze, Abner didn't care if the "invisibility" would be invalidated at all, and said directly, "It's Edwards and Benjamin."

Uncle Edwards? Uncle Edwards also returned to the island..... Didn't he not suffer pollution and die because of it.... Didn't he move his family to Lemburg, where he spent his old age?

Thoughts crossed Bernadette's mind, but instead of asking, she used her "voyeuristic eye" to take a closer look at the five men, and found that they were all dressed in luxurious Russell-era clothes, with pale faces and shriveled skin, more like living corpses than human beings.

"Naturewalker

They can also be reborn after death, which is not very different from the special nature of this island, but unfortunately they are not 'natural walkers', and they are only polluted by the 'fallen mother goddess' in the current situation." Abner smiled and explained to Bernadette before taking her hand and walking towards the five who were worshipping.

Bernadette's heart moved, and she could feel that "information" was entering her body through the position of her hand, forming a "barrier" on her spirit, so she did not resist, and asked instead:

"Shall we not observe any more?"

"No need...... Your father is the 'Black Emperor', representing the shadow of order'.... And the loopholes and shadows on this island that has been formulated by the "Fallen Mother Goddess" to the 'death-rebirth order' are Edwards and Benjamin, the old ..... It was Russell the Great who protected them from being completely polluted .... Although it is also difficult to get rid of the 'fallen mother goddess'."

As Abner spoke, the two of them had come to the vicinity of the five people and many strange creatures who were worshipping the gods, and the latter also straightened up at the same time, and the whole primeval forest seemed to come to life at once, and they soon walked along different paths to different directions of the primeval forest.

Abner dragged Bernadette after Edwards to a cabin that was out of step with the wild atmosphere around him.

At this point, Abner no longer hid, picked up the "Hermit's Staff" with one hand and pointed forward, and at the same time borrowed the power of the body to make a new "interpretation" of the "pollution" attribute on Edwards' body.

Dressed in the luxurious clothes of Russell's time, with all white hair and an old appearance, Edwards was stunned for a moment, and then said to himself in disbelief, "I'm already dead...... Why did you come back to life here?

"Am I, like Grimm and the others, already polluted.....

"It seems that the only one who has escaped is Karen who was strenuously opposed to exploration and did not board the ship....." He muttered a few words, and suddenly noticed that there were two more people holding hands in front of him. Edwards stared at them warily for a few seconds, then opened his mouth and said in a low voice:

"Your Highness the Princess."

Bernadette glanced at Abner, then was silent for two seconds before responding, "Uncle Edwards..... Why are you here?"

"I thought it was my fate, guarding Your Majesty's fate.... But just now, I remembered everything, and I realized that it was probably not that simple." Edwards smiled bitterly, looked at Abner holding Bernadette's hand, and asked, "Who is this?"

"You can call me Abner Blaine, I am the one who has temporarily shielded you from the 'pollution', otherwise you would have been cleaned by the 'will' of this island the moment you remembered that you were dead." Abner replied briefly, then continued, "As the Emperor's most loyal knight, you should be able to get in touch with him now, and help us get the word out."

- The other party is both Bernadette's "uncle" and Adewina's great-grandfather, so Abner is very polite in his wording.

In addition, when he had just "explained" the definition of pollution in Edwards, he vaguely "understood" Lao Huang's current state, and knew that his situation might be better than he imagined.

"Finally, the years before I died were in vain." Abner complained in his heart.

Edwards ignored him, and just looked at Bernadette, who pursed his lips and said, "Please inform him on our behalf."

Edwards nodded and closed his eyes, as if communicating with someone.

After a moment, he turned around and went to the utility room of the wooden house and took out a rusty iron-black axe, and then said, "Your Majesty asked me to take you there..."

With that, he took his axe and walked step by step to the area behind the wooden house.

Abner and Bernadette looked at each other, then quietly snuggled behind Edwards, walking among the huge dark green trees and deep black shrubs toward the island's peaks.

That's four or five points

The time of the bell, the trees in front of it disappeared all at once.

It is not a gradual transition from dense to sparse until the blank disappears, but is bounded by an invisible line, and the huge trees disappear abruptly.

Beyond that invisible boundary is a mountain peak, several hundred meters high, and above it is also covered with huge trees that are dark green and almost black, so that when viewed from a distance, it almost merges with the forest, and it is difficult to distinguish from each other.

However, the peak was facing the three of them, and most of the area was treeless, as the mountain had been hollowed out in half. In the middle of the mountain, a black mausoleum stands there, extremely magnificent.

Most of it belongs to the mountain range itself, and a small part has traces of artificial construction and polishing, which truly explains what it means to "use the mountain as a mausoleum".

Therefore, the shape of this mausoleum is not the usual pyramid-shaped, but more like a towering mountain, not symmetrical, but absolutely majestic.

It is not known if the mausoleum itself was affected, or if Edwards had cleaned it up, and it did not grow a single weed on its surface, nor did it cover the vines that were common in the rest of the mountain.

This allowed Bernadette and Abner to see directly the various words and symbols inscribed on the mausoleum, and to see the heavy stone door that seemed to be prepared for giants, nearly thirty meters high.

Bernadette was no stranger to those words and symbols, and with a cursory glance, she recognized them either from the Civil Code formulated and promulgated by her father, or from the new social trends he founded, or directly from the blueprints of some inventions.

The majesty and distortion of the Black Emperor..... As soon as Abner muttered, Edwards stopped, stood in front of Abner, and said in an unquestioning tone:

"Alright, we have arrived at His Majesty's mausoleum, and we can meet you.

"But Your Majesty has to summon Her Royal Highness the princess first, and you stay here for the time being."

Hearing this, Abner stuck the "Hermit's Staff" on the ground, then pressed the crystal lens on his right eye, and asked with a smile, "I didn't hear clearly, can you say it again?"

Edwards frowned, and said dissatisfiedly, "I said that I have arrived at His Majesty's mausoleum and can be seen." After a pause, he added, "Don't keep Your Majesty waiting."

For some reason, no matter how he looked at this young man, he instinctively felt unpleasant.... Abner then picked up his staff, saluted, and smiled, "Thank you for leading the way."

With that, he pulled Bernadette through a heavy stone door and entered the interior of the Black Emperor's mausoleum.
