Chapter 760 - 481: Southward, the Holy City’s Desperate Situation
Buzz!!
As the blazing sun descended, flesh and blood shattered.
The Heavenly Sorrow completely broke through the last barrier left by the Blood Prison.
The magnificent Pyramid Ark floated through the air, the surging airwaves overturning the clouds and sweeping over the earth.
Certain remains of snake-man bodies were left as mere debris, blending into the soil amidst the swirling dust, no longer causing any ripples.
"That should have been an Angel."
"The Winged Serpent King... it seems to be that one... one of Its subordinates."
Chen Feng had already returned to the neural control room, the virtual image of the Star Spirit appearing once more, with a new three-dimensional projection emerging on the screen before him.
It was a colossal winged serpent that blotted out the sky, seemingly containing the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.
Just a glance, and Chen Feng could tell that this was the blood-colored shadow of the Winged Serpent King from earlier.
"It?"
He raised an eyebrow slightly, sensing that the Star Spirit was deliberately avoiding mentioning the name of the Evil God.
"The Angel’s power descended so easily, coupled with our past destruction here, indicating that Chaos has long since corrupted and dominated this place."
"Its grip over this place surely surpasses that of other worlds, and mentioning Its name outright could easily attract attention."
A simple explanation, and Chen Feng appeared deep in thought.
Then, the Star Spirit projected the previous images of the snake-men again, with a lot of data analysis appearing in succession.
"These snake-men are also quite peculiar."
"Among them, some low-level members have a life essence that is actually very similar to humans, but as their life level increases, this difference becomes more and more pronounced."
"This should be the result of that one’s Chaos Power contamination, and the so-called snake-man tribe...."
The Star Spirit paused, looking at Chen Feng.
"Perhaps they were once human."
As the words fell, Chen Feng’s gaze tightened.
He indeed had a similar suspicion at the beginning.
Because according to his understanding, and some secrets told by the Holy City.
The snake-men of this world were essentially still human, only through the so-called Snake God’s blessing, they underwent mutation, gradually taking on the appearance of snake-men.
As for the snake-man tribe, it was also formed due to the so-called Snake God bloodline, this more advanced force blessing.
"Of course, it’s just speculation on my part."
"The intelligence of the Heavenly Sorrow is damaged and dormant, the database isn’t complete..."
"However, I did make a new discovery."
The Star Spirit shrugged and then touched on another topic of interest to Chen Feng.
"Though we were defeated back then, for certain reasons, we prevented the complete invasion of the Black Tide, allowing some people to survive in other Star Realms."
"They later inherited some of our legacy, establishing a new Ancient Tado Empire."
"The Heavenly Sorrow left behind quite a few records in this regard..."
Oh?
His gaze shifted, and Chen Feng appeared somewhat surprised.
This indeed solved one of his doubts.
Previously, he was always curious about the relationship between the Ancient Tado Empire and the Ancient Tado Civilization.
The two were obviously very similar but didn’t belong to the same period.
"So, the Snake Spirit Secret Realm was once one of the worlds you ruled, and the Ancient Tado Empire here is in fact the remaining power of your civilization."
"They carried forward the last glory of Ancient Tado until they eventually perished a thousand years ago."
"This understanding isn’t wrong."
Nodding gently, before the Star Spirit stood dozens or even hundreds of screens, yet she processed all the information within with ease.
"They must have been one of the legions under the Nine Kings, having set a descendant of the Nine Kings as the Emperor."
"Unfortunately, they eventually re-enacted the tragedy that befell us, their demise eerily similar...."
The Star Spirit’s tone was somewhat complex and melancholic.
Through her explanations, Chen Feng roughly pieced together much of the secrets within the Snake Spirit Secret Realm.
The Ancient Tado Empire, Snake-man Tribe....
Perhaps, a long time ago, they were all one entity.
But later, some people were corrupted and fallen by the Evil God, becoming snake-men, inciting rebellion.
Eventually, facing threats from within and without, this human empire inheriting the crystallization of Ancient Tado civilization also perished completely.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and the little stone statue, teleported inside the Heavenly Sorrow, flew over with small flutters, landing on Chen Feng’s shoulder.
During this time, the Star Spirit finished receiving all data information from the Heavenly Sorrow.
It was visibly evident that her expression grew increasingly complex, embodying the solitude and desolation of the extinction of her kind.
The excitement of discovering the World Ark thereby faded, and Chen Feng could sense her almost human-like depression.
"Let’s head south together."
Suddenly, Chen Feng said, drawing a puzzled look from the Star Spirit.
As their eyes met, he thought of the Holy City in the far south.
That is the last human sanctuary of this world, and the three legion commanders subtly mentioned that the Holy City is connected to the former Ancient Tado Empire.
"This empire may not have completely perished."
"They left behind one last legacy."
Chen Feng said seriously, then turned to regard the external scenery on the projection screen.
Amidst the vast earth, black dots were seen fleeing in panic.
It was a snake-man army that had taken a detour and crossed the gorge’s peril, now frantically retreating in shock due to the earlier commotion.
If he guessed correctly, the snake-man army should have already launched the final war, laying siege to the Holy City.
Upon seeing this, the Star Spirit’s gaze brightened, her expression formed by virtual blue light flickering.
The data from the Heavenly Sorrow is, after all, only the past, not the present.
Moreover, she surmised that Chen Feng certainly had entered this world more than once, undoubtedly understanding some matters better than she did.
"Alright!"
Without hesitation, the Star Spirit agreed decisively.
If there truly remained a flame of Ancient Tado’s civilization here, she would no longer be the last lonely one.
