Soul-Slaying Girl: All the contracts I contracted are ancient divine weapons.

Chapter 996 Ancient Ruins
After the revival of spiritual energy.

The old world is destroyed and the new world is born.

Using the calendar compiled by the City of Dawn, the largest power in the New World, the first year after the birth of the New World was recorded as the Year of Spirit Mist.

Now is the second year of Lingwu.

The City of Dawn officially announced to the outside world that it would accept a large number of survivors.

And a selection mechanism will be released to pick the best survivors to become a member of the "Savior Society".

Once the news spread, a large number of people with lofty ideals came to the fore.

Judging from the map of human survivors, it is nothing short of a large-scale migration route.

same year,

The City of Dawn underwent a second expansion, and a new meeting hall was built next to the original landmark stone tower that towered into the sky.

Its name is, the Hall of Light.

The base color of the Hall of Light is not much different from that of the entire City of Dawn, both of which are mainly gray and blue.

Only in key places, such as roofs, gates, and carved portraits, vermilion is used to embellish these areas.

Red represents war, austerity, and the never-extinguished flame of blood.

Because only fighting can bring peace and light.

The gate of the Hall of Light is three meters high, and the height inside the hall is even higher. When you enter, the first thing you see is a long table.

This is where the core members of the Salvation Society hold meetings every time. There are ten seats in total.

Now there are people with different faces sitting there, and a crucial meeting is going on.

And sitting at the first seat is the survivor of the East Continent, Han Zhan.

"...That's the way it is."

Adam, who was dressed as a middle-aged priest, spoke in his slightly deep voice.

"According to our speculation, the revival of spiritual energy itself will not change the size of our planet, so its expansion must have other reasons."

"Yax was in charge of this part of the investigation. According to his report, we found that the planet seemed to have 'extra' things that did not originally belong to it."

"'They', after merging with the planet, are most likely the reason why the planet expands and grows larger."

After listening to this report, Han Zhan nodded slightly.

After more than a year of tempering and honing, he has quickly grown from a young man to a leader who dominates a region.

"'They', what are they?"

Han Zhan knocked on the table and asked a question that everyone wanted to know the answer to.

"'They' are very complex, and seem to be some kind of 'concept', but if I were to use a substantial noun to refer to 'them', I think it should be - ancient ruins."

When Adam said this, the golden cross pendant hanging around his neck emitted a faint golden light.

A group of golden particles was released from the golden cross. They were pieced together again, like a virtual projection, to form a completely new appearance.

The lifelike modeling allows everyone to see clearly that it seems to be very similar to the underground palace.

"Ancient ruins?" Han Zhan raised his eyebrows and repeated the word.

"So, when you said 'there is a major discovery and we need to hold a full staff meeting', it was about this ancient relic?"

"Yes."

Adam nodded his chin and continued:
"The revival of spiritual energy is only a superficial phenomenon. We should find out what the revival of spiritual energy actually represents."

"If the spiritual energy comes from ancient ruins, exploring them will undoubtedly bring us closer to the truth."

"Besides, the alien beasts have been initially controlled at this stage thanks to the joint efforts of the City of Dawn and the Salvation Society. We will have more time from now on."

Having said that, Adam glanced at Han Zhan.

Han Zhan played a vital role in enabling the strange beast to be controlled so quickly.

That's why he was able to become the savior believed in by all members of the Salvation Society in just one year.

"Then let's vote." Han Zhan nodded and looked at the others.

"I agree to explore the ancient ruins." A young man in a monk's robes beside the long table raised his hand slightly and said.

"I second." The speaker was a woman who was dressed very coolly, like a forest elf, natural and friendly.

"I have no problem."

"agree."

"It just so happens that I've been bored lately, so it would be nice to explore some ancient ruins." A tall and burly giant said.

In the end, Adam's proposal was unanimously agreed upon by all the core members of the Salvation Society and passed unanimously.

Han Zhan did not object to this proposal.

Adam was right about one thing.

If the source of the spiritual energy revival is the ancient relics, then figuring them out will be an unavoidable thing.

However... "We should proceed step by step, starting with exploring small ruins, one step at a time, steadily and steadily, and not rush into anything rashly."

Han Zhan reminded.

It would have been better if he didn't remind them. As soon as he said this, the eyes of all the core members of the Salvation Society were immediately cast towards him.

Even Father Adam, who always had a calm face and didn't show much expression, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

The words "steady and cautious" are quite inconsistent when they come from the mouth of a barbarian wizard who fights like a madman, dives in and fights against a group of strange beasts alone.

"no problem."

Yax, the young greatsword knight with the greatest sense of justice, was the first to speak without giving it much thought.

His chivalry is loyalty and order.

Since you have joined the Salvation Society and recognized Han Zhan as the savior, you should follow every request he puts forward.

Yax's decisive answer made the stagnant atmosphere flow again.

The air became alive again.

……

Lingwu 3 years,
The members of the Salvation Society reunited in the Hall of Light.

This year, they explored a large number of ancient ruins, trying to find the truth about the revival of spiritual energy.

Among the people present, some are old faces, while others are completely unfamiliar new faces.

The core members of the Salvation Society will not be replaced at will, except in the event of death.

The appearance of new faces also means that exploring ancient ruins is more risky than imagined.

There were a few strands of gray hair on the temples of the greatsword knight Yax.

The huge golden cross bent Adam's body even more.

Their efforts and sacrifices are not in vain.

After a year of exploring ancient ruins and piecing together all the clues collected, they all point to the same place.

It seems that the source of everything is right there.

"That is the largest ancient ruins so far, many times larger than any we have explored."

Father Adam said this and opened his eyes.

There was a faint golden light in his eyes. During this year, his strength had improved a lot.

“Let’s go together and explore together.”

The person who spoke was Han Zhan. His appearance had not changed much, except that his aura occasionally emanated from him when he spoke.

Just a trace of breath made the newly joined core members of the Salvation Society feel nervous, as if they were facing a savage blood beast and could be torn to pieces at any time.

The proposal for a Korean War was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.

He had a hunch.
They are close to the ultimate truth.
