Chapter 788: Is this a Test, or is it Imparting Knowledge? (I)
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
The mist on the Knights’ Sacred Mountain began to surge violently. Dense, golden mist churned within its vicinity. The violent reaction immediately shocked all the elders on the mountain.
What shocked them even more was what happened next. The surging mist slowly rose up into the air, circulating in a clockwise direction. In just a short while, it formed a huge, golden spiral.
The area that the Knights’ Sacred Mountain covered was rather expansive, while the golden swirl in the air occupied almost the same area. That was how enormous it was. Even someone at the Knights’ Temple from the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass would be able to witness this wondrous sight.
A milky-white beam of light rose up into the sky from the centre of the Knights’ Sacred Mountain. Afterwards, the huge Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation appeared out of nowhere in the holy, dignified aura. Combined with the golden swirl, it unleashed its glow as a supra divine tool.
A huge throne appeared in the air. The throne was a translucent white as it shone with nine beautiful colours. The exquisite sculpting on the back of the throne gave off an indescribable sense of beauty. On top was the celestial bodies, in the centre were birds and beasts, while the part connecting the back to the body were the phenomena of nature.
On the arm rests were the sculptures of a divine gigantic dragon and a twelve-winged angel. Just the rings of nine-colored light it had released were so dazzling. Under the influence of its aura, the golden mist became pure and transparent.
Golden light flickered in Long Haochen’s eyes as he made a gesture with both hands, as if drawing it in.
Ding! A lengthy sound filled a range of thousands of kilometers. The Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation split up in the air, turning into thirteen balls of light which rushed into the Knights’ Sacred Mountain.
Before the Eternal Hero zombie, something that even made his soulfire leap about madly happened. The thirteen balls of white light landed on Long Haochen. They were the thirteen Stars of Eternity.
A huge, transparent gemstone appeared on his chest, with beautiful, nine-stoned crown on his head. A translucent white mask with golden gemstones for eyes appeared. On his left shoulder was a huge dragon’s head, while on his right shoulder was a twelve-winged angel. He was covered in translucent, white armor that gave off a supreme aura.
When Long Haochen became clad in it completely, his aura underwent an overwhelming transformation. The coldness in the cavern was swept away. Only warmth remained now.
Pulses of powerful spiritual energy awakened in the cavern at this moment as well, as eyes that flickered with soulfires of different colours slowly opened.
The aura of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation had awakened them. It had awakened these Eternal Heroes who had once laid down their lives for humanity.
The zombie Long Haochen had been speaking to earlier was completely speechless now. His body now trembled uncontrollable, while the emotions in his soulfire was completely replaced by excitement.
“Thirteen balls of light. It’s thirteen balls of light. Yes, this is the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. It really is! Heavens, you still care for us humans after all! I’ve finally waited for this day. I’ve finally waited for the day when the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation accepts a master!”
Figures began to appear behind him one after another, as soulfires gradually began to burn brighter in confusion. They had clearly heard what the first Eternal Hero had said and when they witnessed the Armour of Eternity on Long Haochen, all sixty-three soulfires became submerged in excitement and passion.
Three balls of light—green, seven-colored and white—revolving around Long Haochen’s body slowly. Long Haochen carried his Sword of Eternity on his back, embedded between the two huge wings.
Due to the Armour of Eternity, the corridor seemed even more narrow now and he had become much larger as well. In particular, his pair of wings directly brushed against the walls on both sides.
“Come in, child. Come in quickly.” The zombie that had spoken to Long Haochen earlier waved his hand frantically.
Only then did Long Haochen enter the cavern in a flash.
The coldness in the cavern had been completely overwhelmed by the aura of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. When he entered the cavern, he immediately illuminated the entire place, like a sun had appeared in a world of darkness.
After understanding the situation of the cavern, Long Haochen felt like his heart was being torn to shreds.
Within the cavern where the sixty-three Eternal Heroes slumbered were sixty-three coffins made of rock. Aside from that, there was nothing else really. A vague aura radiated from below. Although it was suppressed by the aura of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, Long Haochen could still sense it.
These heroes who had once given up everything for humanity were actually slumbering in a place like this. It made Long Haochen extraordinarily furious.
He said nothing, but his lips under his mask were pressed together tightly. As he looked at the zombies, he slowly unfurled the wings on his back.
“Seniors, I am Long Haochen. I must repent to you for the sake of the Temple Union.”
As he said that, he actually just knelt down on the floor in his Armour of Eternity left behind by the creator god, bowing his head to the sixty-three undead before him.
The white armor was so holy, while the crown on his head was so beautiful as well. However, in that moment, he just knelt and bowed for these sixty-three predecessors.
He did not do that for himself, but for the union and all of humanity.
Long Haochen’s actions had shocked all the Eternal Heroes present. They looked at each other as the passion in their soulfires gradually subsided. It was replaced by confusion and they were slightly touched as well. The human who had gained the recognition of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation was actually kneeling for them. He was…
“Child, what are you doing” Hurry up and get up,” the first Eternal Hero said in a hurry. He wanted to lift him up, but when he sensed the holiness from the Armour of Eternity, his action was futile.
Long Haochen raised his head slowly, but he continued to kneel there. His mask shot up as tears pooled in his eyes, “Predecessors, seniors, you deserve a bow from me. You deserve a bow from everyone who still lives in the union. Six thousand years ago, you use your lives to chase away the demons. For the sake of the alliance, you even went as far as to be reincarnated as undead, slumbering for six thousand years quietly in this cold cavern. Although I don’t know who made that decision back then, but as the chairman of the new union, I can’t let this continue. Mankind would be doing you a disservice if we did!”
As he said that, he lowered his head once more and brought it to the ground three times firmly.
Only then did the sixty-three Eternal Heroes understand Long Haochen. In that moment, they all fell silent.
A woman said, “This child’s so honest that he’s cute. Did the person who gave you the key not tell you that we chose to remain like this? And the arrangements here were according to our requests.”
“Huh?” Long Haochen was dumbfounded. He raised his head and immediately sense good-willed smiles from the soulfires of the sixty-three Eternal Heroes.
“Dumb child, get up.”
The Eternal Hero who had spoken to Long Haochen first chuckled. Although the muscles on his face could not move, Long Haochen could clearly sense the good intentions he had behind laughing.
Although Long Haochen had made a fool of himself, he had still managed to move these seniors with his sincerity.
Only then did Long Haochen stand up. He said rather awkwardly, “I thought…”
“What did you think? Did you think that we were abandoned?” The female’s voice rang out once more and an Eternal Hero stepped forward. When she made her way over, the others clearly formed a path for her. She must have possessed quite the status among the Eternal Heroes.
Although she was now a zombie, Long Haochen could still see her beauty when she was still alive. Her face was not grey like most other Eternal Heroes. Instead, it was white, extremely pale-white. However, her skin was clearly still quite supple. Only her blood-red eyes seemed extremely terrifying.
“This isn’t just a cavern beneath the Knights’ Sacred Mountain, but also a place above the mouth of a frost spring. We need to use the coldness here to prevent our bodies from rotting. Every coffin has a small hole connected to the mouth of the spring, which will draw in the coldness. Otherwise, what you’ll be seeing wouldn’t be zombies, but skeletons. As for anything else, would we, a bunch of deceased people, find use in them? However, we then discovered that the coldness of the frost spring could let our powers grow and stabilise our soulfires, to prevent it from being extinguished so easily. That’s why we’re able to survive until now. Although we’re still close to our end, we can last a little longer.”
So that was what had happened. Long Haochen understood the secrets here now.
“I’m Shu Yongxiao, basically the leader of the people here. The last time someone came was thirty years ago. Back then, that kid called Yang Haohan came here as a replacement for the original temple head. Tell us, what’s happened in the thirty years outside?”
The Eternal Heroes had all surrounded Long Haochen now. Most of them had a good impression for this young man who had inherited the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Although Long Haochen had made a fool of himself earlier with his sincerity, but these seniors who had just awakened were obviously in a good mood seeing how he recognised them and did not reject them.
Long Haochen nodded and explained everything he knew that had happened to the temple alliance in the three decades to as much detail as possible. He went into particular detail regarding the previous holy war and the newly-founded Temple Union.
