Chapter 590
Ji Zi looked around, trying to find more clues in this unfamiliar environment. "Don't panic, let's see if there are any other means of communication or safer passages around here. Since this place is so mysterious, it must have its unique rules and secrets." As she spoke, she walked forward slowly, taking every step carefully, for fear of triggering some hidden danger.
At this moment, a low roar came from under the statue. The sound was dull and powerful, like the roar of a giant beast that had been sleeping for thousands of years.
Everyone tensed up instantly, looking at the statue in unison, only to see a ball of golden light slowly rising from under the statue, and in the light, something seemed to be slowly waking up...
The ball of golden light slowly condensed and transformed into the image of an ancient wise man in a golden robe.
His face was weathered, but his eyes sparkled with an all-knowing light, and he exuded an awe-inspiring aura.
"Outsiders, your arrival has broken the 'tranquility' here." The old man's voice seemed to come from the depths of time, carrying a heavy sense of history.
Ji Zi took a step forward and said respectfully, "Respected senior, we are from the distant Star Train. On the way to explore the universe, we came to Omphalos and...accidentally...found this place. We have no ill intentions, we are just full of curiosity about all this."
The old man frowned slightly and glanced at everyone, "The Star Train... the messenger that carries destiny, peace and hope has also arrived here."
"You know, this sun is not an ordinary star, but a 'divine object'. There was no such thing as daytime in Omphalos. A black tide came from the sky and swallowed Omphalos."
"You are in the eternal holy city of Ohma. The statue is called Kephale, a Titan carrying the Dawn."
"Without it, the holy wall would not be able to stand at all, and the price of this, as you can all see, is that it has become a statue."
"The burden behind it is the hope of the world, and also the fate of the world. Kephale used his sacrifice to bring light and vitality to Omphalos, allowing the people of this land to continue."
Listening to the old man's narration, everyone was silent.
"Then...the so-called gods...and those guardians, are they real?" Lin Yu suddenly broke the silence, with a gleam of doubt in his eyes. This question had been lingering in his mind for a long time, and at this moment he finally couldn't help but ask it.
"Why do you say that?" The old man looked at Lin Yu with sharp eyes.
"Because... after coming here, and with the Titan, I don't know what to believe." Lin Yu frowned slightly and explained seriously, "This is all too beyond imagination. I learned everything based on the descriptions of those guardians. I thought the world order was completely collapsed after seeing the Titan and this's sun'.
"Are you talking about those gods?" The old man sneered, with a trace of disdain in his eyes. "They are just some bugs exiled to the lower world. They have a little strength, so they want to be called gods. They keep improving their strength in the lower world and try to fight for the position of god. For their own selfish desires, they don't hesitate to provoke disputes and cause countless lives to be destroyed."
"As for those guardians, they also originally lived in the upper realm." The old man's voice softened a little, but his eyes still showed complicated emotions. "However, due to some special reasons, their memories have been blurred or even tampered with."
"Why do you do this?" Lin Yu's eyes were full of confusion, and he couldn't help asking again.
"Because at this moment, only heroes can bring hope." The old man looked into the distance with deep eyes, as if he saw the dawn of the future.
"In this world full of crises, the real hope lies in heroes who have justice in their hearts and dare to stand up. Those so-called gods will only bring chaos and disaster. As for tampering with the guardians' memories, it is to prevent them from being disturbed by the gods and focus on protecting the land of the underworld."
"Why tell us the truth? And hide everything here from the real guardians?" Lin Yu's eyes were full of persistence. He longed to get a complete answer from the old man.
The old man looked at Lin Yu deeply, and then slowly swept his eyes over the crowd, "Because you come from the Starry Sky Train, your mission is to explore the truth in the universe and protect peace. You are not bound by the established rules of this world, and you have the courage and strength to break the rules. I believe that you will take these truths to find the true path to salvation and bring new hope to this world. As for those guardians, their mission is to protect the present and prevent them from falling into unnecessary disputes and dangers, which is also a kind of protection for them."
"I will tell them these words and bring them up. They shouldn't be ignorant of anything." Lin Yu said seriously.
The old man's eyes were gentle, and a faint smile appeared on his old face. "Young man, your courage and responsibility will definitely bring new vitality to this land." After that, he leaned back slightly, as if immersed in the memories of the past. After a long time, he slowly added, "For a long time, the fate of this world has been wandering in chaos. I hope you can break this deadlock."
"As long as we bring those guardians up here, the energy here will automatically rush into their bodies, breaking those restrictions and restoring most of their memories."
"This energy comes from the contract. It is a backup plan for dealing with today's changes. Now, the time may be ripe. It depends on whether you can seize it." After saying that, the old man turned into particles and dissipated. No matter how everyone called out, there was no response.
Lin Yu turned around and faced Ji Zi, Liu Ying and Xing.
At this time, the breeze blew gently, blowing their hair, as if cheering for the action that was about to begin.
Lin Yu's eyes swept across the faces of the three people one by one, conveying trust and determination, "Sister Ji Zi, let's go back and bring everyone up. Although this journey is full of dangers, we may have a greater responsibility at this moment, and we must not retreat."
Ji Zi looked solemn and responded with a firm gaze, "Okay."
Xing frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said, "But how are we going to tell everyone when we get back? This is too bizarre, and I'm afraid it will be hard for everyone to believe it for a while."
Lin Yu thought for a moment and said calmly, "Let's gather everyone together first, tell them our experiences truthfully, and then bring them to the ladder to prove everything with facts. I believe that as long as everyone sees it with their own eyes, they will understand." After everyone reached a consensus, they immediately set out to return.
