Chapter 235: Creation Mantra!
At the end of the Golden Road, Ye Qiu’s figure had disappeared and instead was enveloped by a huge white lotus flower.
Jiang Chen wasn’t sure what exactly had happened, but he knew Ye Qiu must have had his own plan again.
At this moment, the Gravekeeper stood in front of Jiang Chen.
He told Jiang Chen about the so-called truth, but Jiang Chen didn’t believe him because Ye Qiu had said something to him before the Gravekeeper appeared.
At the end of the Golden Road lies the Creation Mantra.
However, the Supreme Will and the Golden Tree will do their best to block players from obtaining the Creation Mantra.
From this perspective, Gravekeeper claiming to be working for the Supreme Will is indeed true.
After all, the only monster in the entire Tower of Seals that was not sealed inside the tower is the Gravekeeper.
He could not leave the Tower of Seals too far because the World Tree was located here, and he could not leave the World Tree too far either.
He was the first NPC that the players encountered, guiding their initial choices.
Since meeting Malthus, Jiang Chen felt that what the Gravekeeper said was not right.
In just a few words, he was brainwashing the players, stating that we are the righteous side, and killing all the Guardians and climbing to the top of the tower is our mission.
But Malthus said that players were evil beings, and everything they did would lead this world to ruin.
The great hero, the legendary hunter Larik, died at our hands.
Fenrir was released by us.
For the sake of the nation’s survival, the Black Emperor, who picked up the ancestral sword, was slain by them in the snowy mountains.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were released.
Qin Shi HuangYing Zheng was awakened by them, cutting off the head of the dragon forever shrouded in darkness. The lingering soul of the Ancestral Dragon broke free from the constraints of mortal body.
The Goblin clan did nothing wrong, they just wanted to live. They did nothing wrong at all.
But we slaughtered them all, and finally forced them to sign a slave contract.
What have we all done?
Is this justice?
Don’t joke around, everything would still go on as usual even without us.
Jiang Chen didn’t speak out what he was thinking, he just coldly shook his head and said, "What are you really doing all this for, Gravekeeper?"
"Is it truly for justice?"
"I don’t quite fancy that word. It’s better to talk about something more practical, like how to address gods."
The Gravekeeper’s purple eyes sparkled, "The Tower of Seals is indescribably wonderful, it holds the source of all power here."
"When the time comes for you to slaughter gods, you will have the chance to ascend the altar of the gods."
"All we need to do is move forward, using any means necessary, even if it means facing death and destruction ahead."
"If we were to stop moving forward, it would be the time for us to rest."
"Enough talk, it is time for you all to leave this place."
Jiang Chen looked at the stone slab behind the Gravekeeper, "I want to know what the Creation Mantra is, if it truly has some kind of power, why can’t we use it?"
"If its power is truly terrifying enough to distort reality, with its help, our progress will be faster, wouldn’t it?"
"I think this is also a part of moving forward using any means necessary, isn’t it?"
The Gravekeeper turned to look at the stone slab, "The Creation Mantra is the first sound emitted by all things in this world."
"Opposite to the Hall of Echoes."
"The echoing in the Hall of Echoes is the final sigh of all things before death, while the Creation Mantra is the first joyful sound of all things at birth."
"This writing is a power that no life form can control, it is the original words heard and written down by the supreme God of Creation."
"Even just one word can cause the whole world to tremble."
"Like demons, the true name of a demon is their weakness, and the first joyful sound of all things is also their weakness."
"If you know the Creation Mantra of the mountains, even just one word can harness the power of the mountains."
"Not even you, let alone a god, have the qualification to use the Creation Mantra."
"Only the eternal being, surpassing all life and unique in existence, can use the Creation Mantra."
Jiang Chen frowned, "If no one can use it, then what is the point of The Words of Genesis’ existence?"
The gravekeeper suddenly looked over and said, "The Supreme Will’s Golden Law does not allow any life to be superior to another!"
"All beings are born unequal, but the Supreme Will maintains balance. Even though it has become corrupt, the Golden Law should still guide our hearts."
"We must never go against the Golden Law!"
Jiang Chen glanced at Ye Qiu still among the lotus flowers and asked, "Isn’t what you’re saying contradictory?"
"You mentioned before that we are the result of the corruption of the Supreme Will, existing outside the Golden Law."
"We are already beyond the Golden Law, we don’t enter the Hall of Echoes after death, we are neither dead nor immortal."
"Isn’t this already unequal for all beings?"
"Since we have disobeyed the Golden Law, why can’t we go further and use the power outside the Golden Law?"
A stern look appeared in the gravekeeper’s eyes, "Although we have stepped outside the Golden Law, we did so to repair the Golden Law from outside the Golden Law."
"This is a last resort."
Jiang Chen continued to find flaws in the Gravekeeper’s words, "If we want to repair the Golden Law, first we need to kill the Supreme Will that seeks to devour everything, right?"
"Only when the Supreme Will returns to normal, can the Golden Law be repaired, and all beings can once again achieve equality."
"But before that, we must be willing to do anything, just as you have said."
"Even if it is a power beyond the Golden Law, we can still use it as long as it helps us to resist another Supreme Will, right?"
The Gravekeeper was left speechless for a moment, "You talk big, well then, if you want to see, I will grant your wish."
"But remember, don’t blame me for not warning you about the dangers involved."
After speaking, the Gravekeeper stepped aside, allowing Jiang Chen to approach the stone stele.
There were only five words on the stone stele.
He didn’t recognize any of these five words.
The strokes and structures of these words were very complex, like hieroglyphs, but even more complicated than hieroglyphs.
For example, the first word started with a rain on top and fire below, with a "Handa" character on both sides, and a "He" in the middle.
Ouch!
Jiang Chen suddenly felt a sharp pain on his forehead, like a needle piercing through his brain!
"This is it!"
The Gravekeeper sneered, "Haha, as I said, not even a god is qualified to use the Creation Mantra."
"Just a glance is enough to drive mortals into madness."
"Aah!" Jiang Chen immediately clutched his head and stepped back repeatedly!
And at that moment!
A clean white hand suddenly patted on his shoulder.
"Leave the rest to me."
