Chapter 53: What If It's True?

"Wang Lao, what is it?" Liu Chengchao asked from the side.

Wang Lao frowned, looking at the crooked Wolf Tribe characters on the image.

"These records are becoming more and more absurd," Wang Lao began.

Now, it was his turn to translate.

"How are they absurd?" Wang Jiao asked curiously.

The content translated just now was already very absurd.

Could there be something even more absurd?

"I suspect that the Wolf Tribe member who recorded these words had actually gone mad," Wang Lao said.

He was not a psychologist, but he could still sense the madness and abnormality within the text.

"Don't keep us in suspense, let us hear it too," someone nearby said with a laugh.

Indeed, the experts present were all Ordinary people, and they all possessed human curiosity.

"I will continue translating."

This Wang Lao continued to speak.

"The Wolf God has come to save me.

At night, the Wolf God told me that Heize is restless after death because his killing intent is too heavy.

Heize Slayed tens of thousands of the Wolf Tribe alone, his Blood Qi condensed into a soul, so naturally, he is restless.

To resolve this, one must use the Soul-Suppressing Song to cleanse Heize ten thousand times, only then can the anomalies of Heize's corpse be resolved."

"The Wolf God lied to me... Heize's corpse cannot be suppressed at all."

"Heize is not human; with that one roar, mountains and rivers were overturned. How could a mortal like me suppress him?"

"I have had enough. I buried Heize deep underground, and I built my tomb on top of his. I am going down to find him!"

"Is there more?" Seeing Wang Lao stop, someone asked.

Wang Lao shook his head: "Everything that can be deciphered has been translated. There are still some that cannot be identified, which will take some time."

Nearby, Wang Jiao recalled what Wang Lao had said earlier: "It really is absurd, even the Wolf God has appeared."

"If the Wolf God truly existed and truly protected him, the Wolf Guard would not have been annihilated."

At this moment, Liu Chengchao mentioned: "Perhaps, in a desperate situation, he had a dream and dreamed of the Wolf God."

"I also think that possibility exists."

"However, have you noticed that he mentioned Heize Slayed tens of thousands of the Wolf Tribe, and his Blood Qi condensed into a soul.

This is somewhat similar to the records in the Life and Death Shrine."

Everyone fell silent.

It was the first time they had heard from the mouth of a Wolf Guard that Heize had Slayed ten thousand Wolf Guards alone.

Previously, it was recorded this way on the Life and Death Shrine, and they could still say it was an exaggeration to shape Heize's powerful and lofty image, or to show reverence for Heize.

But what about now?

This deputy Commander of the Wolf Guard would not fabricate such a thing just to shirk responsibility.

Liu Chengchao felt that if he were fabricating a reason, he would certainly say that Heize had hidden one hundred thousand elite troops in the mountains and forests, utilized natural disasters, and then used Fire.

That would be easier for people to believe.

"What if the records in this text are all true?" Suddenly, Wang Jiao asked this question.

Most of the people present were members of the expert group; they could not say such unprofessional things.

The security personnel were not qualified to say it.

Therefore, this question had to be asked by Wang Jiao.

The people present remained silent.

The bones had remained undecayed for a thousand years.

No bones of the Daxia Clan had been discovered by those present.

The Life and Death Shrine and the Wolf Tribe characters on the stone wall seemed to be telling everyone a reality.

It really was Heize who Slayed ten thousand people alone.

Liu Chengchao pursed his lips: "If we assume the written records are all true, then a contradiction arises.

Have you noticed that this Wolf Tribe record says that with one roar from Heize, mountains and rivers were overturned.

If Heize could really achieve this level, would he still have Slayed the Wolf Guard until he died of exhaustion?

He could have just roared a few times at the Wolf Guard.

A roar capable of overturning mountains and rivers—such a massive shockwave—should not have been difficult to wipe out ten thousand Wolf Guards, right?"

Everyone listened to Liu Chengchao's words, listening carefully.

They felt it made a lot of sense.

If he could collapse a mountain with one shout, he could have just shouted during the battle; why bother fighting?

This was self-contradictory.

Naturally, they did not know that Heize's talent, Mountain Pulling, gave him Natural Divine Strength and also gave him one instance of pulling a mountain.

One roar and the mountains and rivers were overturned.

This roar was only effective against mountains and rivers—it only pulled mountains—and had little effect on living beings.

They had not come into contact with the Supernatural, or rather, they had not truly come into contact with the Rule, so they naturally could not understand.

"Let's not think too much about it, let's continue deeper, according to the Wolf Tribe records.

Heize's tomb is inside; as long as we find Heize's tomb, everything will be revealed," Liu Chengchao swallowed and said slowly.

"Liu Lao is right."

Dahuang Mountain Range.

Li Yangji watched the images in the live stream, and he now felt a hint of something ominous.

"Miss Jia... should we delay the live stream by a few minutes to avoid any accidents?"

Miss Jia's eyes were fixed on the live stream, afraid of missing any detail: "No need."

"... Alright." After thinking about it, Li Yangji said nothing more.

He felt that he was being too sensitive.

How could it be possible for Heize to overturn mountains and rivers with a single roar, or to hold off ten thousand men alone?

The reasons Liu Chengchao used to refute it were indeed correct.

If an omnipotent god truly existed in this world, could that god create a stone they could not lift?

If there existed a way to traverse the Void that transcended reality, then if I sent an invitation to a person from the future, why did the person from the future not come to the appointment?

Inside the cave.

The security personnel walked at the very front, with Liu Chengchao following closely behind.

The cave was deep and dark; there was less and less Luo Hua Rock, and no more stone walls inscribed with text.

However, the group discovered quite a few more ruins.

There were crude tools and places resembling bathrooms.

The group knew that the exploration of the cave was about to reach its deepest point.

This also meant that Heize's tomb was about to be discovered.

Suddenly, Liu Chengchao stopped in his tracks.

"Did you all hear a sound?"

The others also stopped one after another and listened intently.

"It sounds like... the roar of a subway passing through a tunnel.

Could it be that there is a wind vent ahead, and the strange sound the Wolf Tribe heard was just this?" an expert spoke up.

The group nodded, feeling that it made a lot of sense.

"But how could a wind vent appear here?

Furthermore, our wind-testing instruments show that the wind force here is very low; there is almost no wind." Another expert spoke up, offering a different opinion.

"It's fine, if we keep walking forward, won't we know the answer?" Liu Chengchao had a smile on his face, along with a hint of excitement.

Soon, Heize's corpse would be discovered.

The group walked forward, and ahead was a turn.

The group rounded the bend and looked ahead.

Instantly, everyone's gaze froze.

Up ahead, about several dozen meters away, there was a ball of fire.

This ball of fire was strikingly Gold in color.

An excited expression appeared on Wang Jiao's face: "Could this be the ghost fire mentioned earlier?"

It was her first time seeing such a thing, so she was inevitably curious.

Beside her, an expert gritted his teeth: "Ghost fire comes in three colors, which are... red, green, and blue..."

Those present could not help but recall the written records stating that Heize's corpse would emit strange phenomena.

Just at this moment, the ball of Gold fire ahead suddenly grew larger in an instant.

A sound like a Spear ringing out echoed at this moment.

An immense pressure descended.

The security personnel roared: "Watch out."

Boom!

A massive shockwave struck, and the security personnel in front were instantly knocked down.

Those present instinctively ran backward, rushing back to the turn.

And at this moment, the image in the live stream came to an abrupt end.

PS: This is really not a cliffhanger, nor is it filler; I just hope the plot develops in a better way!
