Chapter 1046: Resurrection and the Temple

Although YiSiLanDiEr says it lightly, and this is only the game's background story.

But in Su Sheng's mind, a grand, sweeping scene has already taken shape.

The Demon Race almost wiped out the entire continent, bearing overwhelming demonic might straight at the surviving Human Clan civilization.

Just thinking of that scene makes one feel hopeless.

And of the five great guardian divine beasts of Human civilization, four sacrificed themselves, ultimately suppressing the Demon Race…

How tragic and heroic.

Su Sheng was immersed in the fantasy in his mind.

YiSiLanDiEr continued, "The great war back then fought the heavens and earth into darkness."

"Many remnants of civilizations were wiped out outright; entire species were completely extinct."

Looking at YiSiLanDiEr, Su Sheng knew that, most likely, the Elf King had also taken part in that battle.

"Of course, the humans back then also suffered heavy casualties, with a loss rate exceeding seventy percent, and it was precisely because the four divine beasts sacrificed their essence that the other four great nations were virtually nonexistent."

"Thus, after a period of consolidation, Human forces merged into the nation we have now."

Su Sheng felt a bit emotional after listening.

The Demon Race...

"So, does that mean there is still one divine beast left now?"

Su Sheng asked, noting that originally there were five divine beasts, and only four were sacrificed.

"Yes."

YiSiLanDiEr nodded, "Among the current Human forces, there remains a Qilin Divine Beast, in your Human Clan's Huangcheng."

"Huangcheng."

Su Sheng murmured softly.

"Actually it's the former Qilin King City; after the Human forces merged, it's called Huangcheng," YiSiLanDiEr added.

Su Sheng seemed thoughtful.

"So what use does this thing have?" Su Sheng asked, glancing at the crystal stone in his hand.

"Resurrection!"

YiSiLanDiEr spoke seriously.

"What?!"

"Can the Zhu Que Divine Beast be resurrected?"

Su Sheng was shocked.

"I can't speak for the other divine beasts, but as for the Zhu Que Divine Beast, it's most likely possible."

"After all, fire‑type divine birds all have a Nirvana trait; even a lower‑rank phoenix can undergo Nirvana rebirth, let alone the Zhu Que Divine Beast."

"If it were other divine beasts, even if a true spirit remained, at most it could only be used as a consumable."

"However, for Zhu Que, if a Temple can be built to gather faith and combine with the fire‑type divine bird's Nirvana trait, perhaps it could truly be resurrected."

After a pause, YiSiLanDiEr continued, though his tone was somewhat hesitant.

"Of course, this is all just my speculation; I can't guarantee it 100%, but I'm seventy percent sure the Zhu Que Divine Beast can be resurrected."

"Temple???" Su Sheng frowned.

Up to now, Su Sheng had never heard of a Temple structure.

YiSiLanDiEr shook his head, "It's a Temple that gathers Human faith; it requires a specific blueprint, so that depends on your luck."

"Put it away for now. If you later obtain the Temple blueprint and build the Temple, you can enshrine this true spirit there."

"Given time, the chance of resurrection remains high."

YiSiLanDiEr said.

Hearing that, Su Sheng nodded, packed the item away and headed back to the storage, to wait until he gets the Temple blueprint.

At that moment, YiSiLanDiEr looked at Su Sheng, seeming hesitant to speak.

"Under YiSiLanDiEr's crown, just say it straight," Su Sheng grinned.

These special hero units possess intelligence no different from real people; they have their own personalities and thoughts.

I truly don't know how Teng Long Company's black technology achieves that.

"If convenient, tell me about the Zhu Que Huangcheng ruins."

YiSiLanDiEr said.

Su Sheng nodded; he wondered what it was about.

It's nothing more than spending a bit of time; besides, there are no urgent matters today, at most he'll go out to grind monsters.

But he had just finished a Dungeon and leveled up, so he's not in a hurry right now.

Then YiSiLanDiEr waved his hand.

The flora beneath the Elf Sacred Tree grew rapidly, instantly solidifying into a seat.

"Come, sit and speak."

Su Sheng, of course, didn't hesitate and sat down. YiSiLanDiEr opposite also sat.

Then Su Sheng recounted his experiences over the past two days at the Zhu Que Huangcheng.

YiSiLanDiEr, after listening, looked deeply moved.

"I never imagined the former Zhu Que King had become a wraith."

"By the way, under YiSiLanDiEr's crown, the Undead race should, in theory, be opposed to the Demon Race, right?"

Su Sheng suddenly thought of this thread and asked curiously.

"It is, and it isn't."

YiSiLanDiEr gave a faint smile.

"Undead are also evil units, but the Netherworld where the undead reside is itself a small world that clings to the main continent."

"Therefore, the undead can also be said to be something that exists as part of our continent itself."

"But the Demon Race dwells in the Demon Realm, which is another great world and can be considered an invader."

"However, the nature of the undead is hostile toward all life."

"Although Demon Race units are special, some core demons are still living beings."

"Thus, if undead encounter a Demon Race being, they will also attack. They indiscriminately despise any life!"

"But the undead reside in the Netherworld, so they do not take part in the continent's battles."

Having listened to YiSiLanDiEr's statement.

Su Sheng could say he now understood the peculiar existence of the undead.

"Alright, thanks for your story today, old man, I'll go attend to my business now."

After saying that, YiSiLanDiEr followed the vines that descended from the Elf Sacred Tree and returned to the treetop.

Su Sheng watched YiSiLanDiEr vanish among the branches of the Elf Sacred Tree, clicked his tongue, then pulled out that crystal stone and examined it closely.

If Zhu Que could truly be revived.

Tsk…

That was the guardian beast of the former human kingdom.

Here in Yanhuang Town, there are now Dwarves, an elf king, and if we added another Zhu Que guardian beast.

Tsk…

Su Sheng has already begun to imagine how wonderful that time would be.

But the temple building still needs to be paid attention to.

Then Su Sheng opened the auction house and began searching for blueprints.

The blueprints were scarce, only a few worthless building plans, which made little difference.

There were also some equipment blueprints, but none were valuable.

Su Sheng wasn't really disappointed; after all, he was mentally prepared.

It would be strange if the temple blueprints could be obtained this easily.

Afterward, Su Sheng returned to the warehouse and put the crystal stone back.

He checked the game time; about three hours remained.

Going out to grind now seems unable to kill many monsters; even rushing there would take some time.

Then Su Sheng started strolling around his Yanhuang Town.

It was as lively as always, though there were slightly fewer people than today.

Su Sheng naturally knew where those people had gone…
