Though she couldn’t recognize every Ancient Mogalian character, she could grasp the general meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she slowly advanced along the corridor, the stories etched into the stone unfolded before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First and foremost: this was indeed a city of the Ancient Mogalia Civilization, built at the peak of that era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carvings recounted the history of the mighty Mogalia Magic Kingdom—dubbed a \"civilization\"—and the reason for constructing this city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, the Mogalians had pooled their entire civilization’s wisdom to build an \"Eternal Capital,\" a project that took countless years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they had succeeded brilliantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For while their civilization had vanished into the annals of history eons ago, this Eternal Capital remained intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just unclear why it lay underground......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carvings offered no explanation for that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could this city not have been underground from the start? Did it sink later? But then what is that River of Light beneath the dome......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim didn’t dwell on the question for long. After all, she wasn’t an archaeologist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued down the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The content of the carvings soon shifted to religious themes—singing praises to the gods and recounting their deeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These tales were not far removed from those of the modern Seven-Day Church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that the Seven-Day Church, as the closest link between the mortal realm and the gods, had existed for an unimaginably long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when she finished reading all the carvings, Hulim noticed something amiss......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from NovelBin. Please report it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strange. What’s going on here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought she might have misread, so she hurried back to check again—but it was still missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unconvinced, she examined the corridor repeatedly, but the content never appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s really not here......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim stood frozen, puzzled and unable to figure it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>in the carvings of a church dedicated to worshipping the gods, was one deity omitted?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no mention whatsoever of Vesus, the God of Mystery and Wisdom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire corridor only recorded the deeds of five gods......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to find answers, Hulim pressed on, hoping to uncover more clues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What she discovered next left her deeply shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five-Gods...... Church?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the words she saw in a large hall, describing the branch of the church once housed here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Five-Gods Church,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>not the Seven-Day Church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only five gods—no Vesus, the God of Mystery and Wisdom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Hulim understood why the corridor had no mention of the God of Wisdom: because in that era—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the God of Wisdom did not yet exist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What on earth is happening? Could it be...... that Vesus appeared later?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if he appeared later, when and how did it happen? And...... is he the only one who appeared afterward?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aside from Mother Earth Goddess Terra, who created the world, were the other gods truly present from the beginning......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vaguely, Hulim felt she had touched upon the greatest secret of the gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps it wasn’t a secret at all. Everything from the distant past had been quietly sleeping underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that the Church and those in the know had never made it public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After calming her emotions, Hulim continued exploring the church ruins. But due to the passage of time, little information remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, she left the church and wandered the city again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I should find something to eat first......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d wasted so much time that her stomach was already growling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the city, there were trees bearing berries. Using her wilderness survival knowledge, Hulim quickly identified edible ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, berries alone couldn’t sustain her forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim descended to the city’s lowest level, near a river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wove a rope from vines, tied it to the hilt of the Demon Sword Helkem, and pointed the sword at the river’s surface, waiting patiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sound of breaking water, a large fish was pierced through the body by Helkem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim quickly pulled the sword back,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then removed the fish impaled on the blade and lifted it in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perfect.
