Chapter 896 Excavation

After entering the God's Tomb, Haotian was slightly shocked and felt surprised.

There were towering trees and lush greenery in the tomb, like a primeval forest.

At first glance, there were so many trees that it seemed there were hundreds or thousands of them, and it was impossible to see through them.

But when you look closely, there are actually not that many plants. It's just that each tree is very lush, with countless branches, and they all look like a single tree forming a forest.

  This space is lush and green, with treetops covering the sky and branches covering the ground. If you count them carefully, there are probably only about 10 to 20 big trees. The big trees at the innermost part all grow towards one side, and there seems to be a barrier blocking the outside side, unable to extend outwards.

From this perspective, this space doesn’t seem very big?

So...what about the God's Tomb?

This space was filled with divine power. Although the Great Bear God was watching over it, Haotian did not dare to release his spiritual power to explore it. He could only rely on his senses and look through the gaps between the branches and leaves to find the temple in his imagination in the cemetery, but he found nothing.

This place is so primitive, there is no trace of any buildings.

  Could it be that the world has changed so much that the once magnificent temples are now submerged in the jungle?

As he was thinking this, his eyes suddenly flashed and he noticed a shadow flashing through the woods. It seemed very familiar. He hurriedly took a step forward to chase after it, but suddenly a hand reached out from the side and grabbed him.

When he turned around, he saw Taixiongshen staring at him and asked, "Where are you going?"

Haotian thought about how reckless he was just now, and said, "I have no ill intentions. I just saw Wushen." When he said this, Taixiongshen frowned even more. Haotian also felt something was wrong, and explained, "It's not Wushen either, but a creature that looks very much like Wushen's true form - the Deer God. It's behind that big tree, and it passed through somewhere. Did you see it?" He pointed to the huge banyan tree in front.

Taixiong Shen seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "So what you saw was a tree."

Haotian felt a chill in his heart and asked hurriedly, "Why, you didn't even see any trees? There are trees everywhere around."

Taixiong God shook his head and said, "I didn't see it. You don't have to be nervous. This is normal. I was also confused when I first came here, and it was Youshang God who explained it to me. All the scenery in this place is a reflection of the heart. What you see is a tree, and others see something different. They are the most familiar environment in our hearts or the things we desire the most."

Haotian was shocked for a moment, looking around in a daze, half believing and half doubting. The reason why he felt it seemed credible was because it was consistent with the magical power of the main god's tomb, but what was unbelievable was that the surrounding environment was so vivid. Not only were the trees full of vitality, but the divine deer that just flashed by was the appearance of the upper left god in his memory, and even the divine power was leaked a little, as if it was back then.

then……

Haotian suddenly realized that this place was an illusion. The trees in front of him looked like the jungle at the entrance of his tribe, except that the trees were magnified hundreds or thousands of times. So, this mapping theory should be correct, it was just a magnification of his own memories and brought them into reality.

So... the divine deer just now was just the shadow of my god in my memory, all illusions, visible but intangible.

My God is gone after all.

He asked, "Your Majesty Taixiong, what does this place look like in your eyes?"

Taixiongshen smiled and said, "It's strange. The scenery is different this time and the last time I came."

He didn't answer directly, and Haotian understood - he didn't want to say it.

Because it involves inner thoughts and memories, I think it is private, so it is normal not to answer. Haotian could have kept it to himself, but because he didn't know the truth, he accidentally said it out - this may not be because Taixiongshen set a trap. This kind of information could have been said at the beginning, and not saying it would be a trap.

There was no way to get back at this small pit, so Haotian could only keep it to himself.

Haotian asked: "Where is the Lord God's tomb? Where is his body?"

Taixiongshen pointed around and said, "It's all here."

"Everything you see is a reflection, but it is the product of the combination of reality and spirit. For example, if you say there is a tree here, then it may be a finger of the Lord God. If you cut down the tree and take it out, it will turn into its original appearance outside. This is what the Right Upper God did at the beginning. It used its divine power to cut off a part of it in front of me, and then took it out, and finally the finger was inserted into the head of the evil god."

This was another unexpected, but reasonable explanation upon closer thought. Haotian's heart moved, and he silently counted the trees he could see, a total of nineteen: "There is another one that has been taken away by the Upper Right Temple. It seems that this is the one-to-one correspondence with the trees on the fingers. So if we take them all away, will we get all the fingers and toes of the Lord God?"

After thinking about it carefully, the Lord God's fingers were chopped off, which is also very tragic, but since we are here, we should not think too much about it. "Can you do it?"

"Yes, it's not that difficult. I saw the Right Upper God take action before, and it was surprisingly simple." Taixiong God pondered, "But I'm wondering, where is the main body of the Lord God?"

Haotian thought about it, and his eyes involuntarily dropped down to look at the land he was standing on.

At this time, Taixiong God also said: "It can only be below the ground, right? Only by digging up the ground under our feet can we see the torso of the Lord God. Then..."

Haotian shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Taixiong God looked at him, and Haotian said seriously: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought that Your Majesty the Lord God doesn't want to be disturbed?"

Taixiongshen laughed and said, "Of course, no one wants to..."

Haotian said in a broken voice: "I am not talking about a small disturbance. In fact, after the gods fell, their divine power is still there, so they can use their great power to make the thieves who covet their bodies suffer terrible divine punishment. But His Majesty the Lord God did not do so. Its tomb is easy to open, and there is no danger after entering. As you said, it is relatively easy to take away these things placed on the ground. Is it possible that this is all allowed by the Lord God?"

"Once a god's tomb is sealed, it is sealed. Why would he leave the key for later generations if he is afraid that outsiders will open it again? I think the main god is probably very kind and great. He thought that later generations might encounter difficult problems and come here for help, so he is willing to give up part of his body to reward the younger generation. This is his extraordinary mercy among gods."

"Back then, it fought with the master of the Tuman and eventually died, but it still tried its best to leave a will to arrange the cemetery. I think this is also a backup plan for him to guard against the Tuman. Of course, humans are not a threat for the time being, but the crisis is the same. I think it will be happy to see us take its finger to resist the evil god. At that time, the Right Upper God served by his side, and he might have known the Lord God's intentions, so he easily decided to come here to disturb His Majesty's peace."

"However, we should know when to stop. It is enough to take away the power that can be obtained. Digging further will violate taboos. It will definitely trigger divine punishment. A finger of the Lord God is a great power for us. Can we resist the divine punishment it leaves behind? Your Majesty Taixiong God, please don't make mistakes!"

Taixiongshen lowered his head slightly, and then said: "What you said may have some truth. It is indeed risky for us to want more. However, this power... is not enough!"

Haotian said anxiously, "Why is it not enough? Back then, the Lord God pierced the Evil God's head with just one finger. Now the Evil God's power is greatly reduced and is not as strong as before. We can still use ten fingers, so why is it not enough?"

Taixiong God shook his head and said, "The Evil God is indeed not as good as before, but can the two of us, as well as those crooked and broken ones you have collected, compare to the left and right gods of the past?"

Haotian was speechless. Taixiong God said, "It was not only the Lord God's finger that pierced the Evil God, but also the combined attack of the left and right Supreme Gods. Not to mention that we took advantage of the unexpected, which was very lucky. Now it's just you and me, how can we repeat the plan as before?"

"But last time it was one finger, and now we have nine...nineteen!"

"What's the difference between one and ten?" Taixiong God asked back, "Taking the Lord God's finger is just using it as a weapon. So far, there is no way to directly apply the power to oneself, so the application is very limited. It's already difficult for us to take one finger, can we use ten tentacles to take ten fingers together like the monster?"

“But if you dig deeper, even if you dig out the body of the Lord God, can you solve the problem of power infusion? This is just a body of a God, not a specially made weapon of war. Digging deeper will be extremely risky, and the gains will probably be very limited.”

Haotian instinctively felt that he couldn't let Taixiongshen dig deeper. Besides the reasons he gave, he also had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Taixiong God closed his eyes for a moment and said, "Haotian, why do you think I came here? I am here to risk everything. Let me tell you, if the evil god continues to develop like this, it will definitely be uncontrollable. We are now recruiting soldiers and horses, making it prosperous, but it is actually a false excitement. The end will never be good. You asked me what the chances of winning are if we continue like this. I tell you, zero! There is no chance of survival! If I hadn't had the opportunity to meet the Lord God last time, and admired the power buried here, and realized that this is a trump card, I wouldn't even have the courage to stand up and resist!"

"If I dig deeper, there might be a 50% chance of survival... no, a glimmer of survival, then I'll have earned it. It's better than wasting away outside and waiting to die. If there really is a huge divine punishment below, the kind that destroys the heavens and the earth, then that's not bad either. If I detonate it, then I'll die quickly. If by chance I don't detonate it, I still have a plan!"

"This plan is called... mutual destruction!"

Taixiong God stared at him with scorching eyes: "This divine punishment may also be our ultimate weapon to turn the tide, isn't it?"

Haotian's heart started pounding. He was thinking and was even somewhat convinced.

Taixiongshen said: "I even hope that there is such an unstoppable force here, but I must first confirm that the divine punishment really exists, and your guess just now is not a delusion... Priest Haotian, will you help me?"
