Chapter 479: Goodbye Gravekeeper!
"He was an incurable fool, full of arrogance, thinking of himself as the main character, yes, that fool was me."
Ye Qiu suddenly laughed, but Zhou Yanbing looked incredulous, "But, you’ve never lost a battle…"
Yes, in the stories Zhou Yanbing heard, Ye Qiu was always victorious, never experiencing defeat.
Therefore, some say he is The Chosen One, blessed with good luck in everything he does.
The title "The Chosen One" comes from here.
But actually?
Ye Qiu has failed too many times.
He kept trying over and over to find the perfect solution, so he failed again and again, and he looked older and older.
That is his secret to being undefeated.
But being undefeated, what good does it do?
Even if he wins every battle, he cannot bring back those who are gone.
And his string of victories has almost depleted his strength.
Ye Qiu understands that with their current abilities, once they encounter a true god, no matter how many times he tries again, they will suffer heavy losses and cannot win.
Even though we kept getting stronger as we climbed higher, it still wasn’t enough.
Unless…
。。。
The King of Ancestral Spirits, after retreating to the inner city, no longer retreated, but instead engaged in a final battle with everyone!
It fought back with all its might, unleashing all its power. Jiang Chen’s two huge bone hands tried to restrain it, but it broke free!
One after another, they took turns fighting against the King of Ancestral Spirits, constantly wearing it down, but they couldn’t defeat it after a long time!
It’s really hard to imagine how thick its health bar is!
Just as everyone was caught in the fierce battle, suddenly, a sharp voice echoed throughout the Eternal City!
"Enough."
For some reason, after hearing this sound, The King of Ancestral Spirits suddenly stopped attacking, then stepped into the grand palace behind him.
Boom!
The two huge palace doors suddenly opened, and the voice sounded again.
"Please come in."
The crowd looked at each other at first, then stepped into the grand palace.
Honestly, the decorations inside the grand palace were really magical.
It’s called magical because it’s a mix of ancient and future, making it magical.
Inside the classical palace, there was a dragon projection that appeared and disappeared.
When the crowd reached the end of the palace, they saw a very familiar figure!
A pair of purple eyes, a tattered black robe, a sinister old man!
"The Gravekeeper?"
Upon hearing this, the Gravekeeper slowly removed his black robe, revealing his skinny and bony body, resembling a dried-up corpse.
And on his chest, there was a huge and agile golden pattern!
The pattern depicted an eye, sacred and solemn, resembling the eye of a god!
However, now this eye had been severed by a bloody mark, losing its divine radiance.
"I am not surprised to see you again, as someone had foreseen your arrival here."
"Unfortunately, that person was not me."
"But what you should know is, I once served as the Seventh Seat to Emperor Auzo, overseeing the Ghouls Corps, as the first-generation Grave-Walker."
"After the era of the fallen gods, I intended to guard the Tower of Seals, but I was enslaved by the deity at the top and became His apostle."
"I’m sorry, I deceived you all."
"The Tower of Seals was never meant to be a place of inheritance from the beginning, nor a place of bestowed blessings."
"I’m sure you already understand what kind of place this is."
"Why does the higher world become more chaotic? Because this is the deity’s prison, the forbidden end."
"This is the Tower of Seals."
"Driven by the deity at the top, I have done many wrong things."
"I guided you to keep moving upwards, leading you to this kind of realm. It’s all my fault alone."
Fang Ze suddenly sighed, saying, "No, with or without you, we will still reach the Tower of Seals."
"Even though we know what it is, human curiosity and greed can never be suppressed."
"Just like Pandora’s box, once opened, it cannot be stopped."
"Once someone opens that door, the world will descend into chaos, and to stop the chaos, we can only move forward."
"The more we move forward, the bigger the chaos becomes, but since the door has been opened, we can only move upwards, with no room for retreat."
"The situation we face today is a result of our own actions."
The Gravekeeper looked at The King of Ancestral Spirits bowing his head beside him. "Even though I want to stop you, the higher gods will not grant my wish."
"Now, for unknown reasons, the god above has been in a long period of slumber."
"It is because of this, I have been able to break free from the gods’ constraints and wait here for you."
"You must be feeling lost now, unsure of what to do next. Despite having the drive to move forward, you are uncertain where to direct your efforts."
"Blindly moving forward will eventually lead to hitting a barrier, and then failing completely."
"But if you stay put, everything will stay the same, well it’s not really staying the same, but rather slowly wearing down."
"Your life will eventually be worn away by time at some point."
At this moment, everyone turned to look at Fang Ze.
Just like at the beginning, Fang Ze once again acted as the representative for everyone and communicated with the Gravekeeper.
It was like this at the start, and now, it’s the same.
"Are you here to help us?"
Hearing Fang Ze’s words, the Gravekeeper slowly turned to look at the throne behind him, "The solution has already been thought of for you."
"The Mysterious Source has also been prepared for you."
"Absorb the Mysterious Source and then you can leave, continue upwards without fearing failure. Leave the rest to us."
"Our Great Plan has begun."
Fang Ze frowned, "So you’re saying we just need to keep moving forward?"
Gravekeeper turned around, "That’s right, just keep moving forward."
"However, you will need to help us with one thing."
Gravekeeper suddenly looked at Ye Qiu, "This matter can only be discussed between us privately, not to be shared with anyone else."
"Don’t worry, this will benefit you, without causing any harm."
"By the way, someone has prepared something for you, hoping you can take it with you."
With that, Gravekeeper suddenly opened his arms, and countless orbs of light appeared out of the darkness!
And on each glowing orb, there was a name.
The first orb had the name Fang Ze written on it.
"Please come forward."
Fang Ze thought for a moment, then stepped towards the orb, and instantly a magical staff appeared within the orb!
"What is this?"
The Gravekeeper chuckled, "Your staff should have been destroyed by you, and the one you have now doesn’t suit you, right?"
"This staff is called the Zenith Star, left to you by a Master of Magic."
