Chapter 813: Return
"All the ancient ruins we have excavated and all the ancient documents we currently possess indicate that the rebellion in ancient times was initiated by the Great Sun Venerable."
Zhu Meng's gaze was obscure, her voice clear and cold: "At that time, the Root Will was no match for the Supreme Heavenly Venerate. Under the suppression of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, it gradually weakened, its consciousness nearly obliterated by the divine power of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate. Thus, the Root tempted the Great Sun Venerable with enormous benefits, compelling him to raise the banner of rebellion.
In fact, there are also some ancient texts and paintings that question the reasons and process of the Great Sun Venerable's rebellion, such as the 'Root' Will tempting the Great Sun Venerable, which some consider absurd, questioning whether the 'Root' Will possessed such high intelligence. Furthermore, the process by which the Great Sun Venerable killed the 'Light King' was too easy, something that should not have been achievable by the Great Sun Venerable's power."
Her voice was small, yet the silence in the vast underground hall caused Zhu Meng's chilling voice to almost echo throughout the entire hall.
The Martial Cultivator of the Nine Realms Divine Illumination also fell into contemplation.
Regarding the wisdom of the 'Root', he was somewhat informed.
The current academic consensus holds that the 'Root', this wise living space, does not possess great intelligence. To date, this Root Will acts merely on instinct; otherwise, the ascended race within the Root would have resurfaced on the Sky Extreme Star long ago, not waiting until now.
Some also believe that the Root Will itself has intelligence, but it is influenced by the residual thoughts of the ascended race, rendering it incapable of making accurate judgments.
The population of this race must have been sizeable, and the chaos of their thoughts can be imagined.
This may also explain why those 'Divine Spirits' completely polluted by the Root are mostly not clear-headed.
In addition, people of the ancient times' Sky Extreme Star were akin to demonic beasts, and the entire world was chaotic, with no order existing whatsoever.
The 'Chaos' of living beings also, to some extent, influenced the Heavenly Curtain, which indirectly affected the Root Will, causing reverse pollution and preventing the 'Root' from maintaining rationality.
Zhu Meng then pointed forward: "But these murals show that it was the Master of Destiny who tempted the Great Sun Venerable. He collaborated with the Root to set a trap that led the Great Sun Venerable to 'accidentally kill' the Light King and gathered all the Great Sun's authorities."
This is the story of the seventh mural, and the eighth image shows a dispute between the Master of Destiny and the Great Sun Venerable, ultimately leading to the split of the Supreme Divine Court.
The ninth image depicts the Master of Destiny leading three Divine Spirits to fight against the Great Sun Venerable, resulting in their deaths at the hands of the Great Sun Venerable.
The tenth image shows the Great Sun Venerable killing another subordinate of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
Judging from the image, that should be the Master of Divine Script who invented the original characters of the Sky Extreme Star. Not only did the Great Sun Venerable obtain the divine artifact 'Judgment of Broken Karma' bestowed by the Supreme from the hands of the Master of Divine Script, but also, with the help of the Root, he acquired the Judgment Skill, raising His power to the King Rank.
However, the Martial Cultivator of the Nine Realms Divine Illumination frowned deeply, looking puzzled: "But it's very strange. The Master of Destiny's power is strong, but in terms of pure combat strength, He should not be a match for the Great Sun Venerable, right? Moreover, the Great Sun had obtained the Light King's power. Even if the Master of Destiny combined the powers of the other three Divine Spirits, they would still not be a match for the Great Sun Venerable. What was He aiming for? A death wish?"
Zhu Meng slightly furrowed her brow upon hearing these words.
This was also the point that puzzled her, what was the purpose of the Master of Destiny in doing this?
"I don't know, but this mural is more likely just one statement and not credible—"
Just at this moment, Zhu Meng's expression subtly changed, realizing that a person had appeared in front of her without her knowing.
—It was the Master of Light!
To be precise, it was an alien form of the Master of Light. This divine figure was twelve feet tall, wearing an exoskeleton armor two feet high, yet appeared silently in front of everyone.
He restrained his divine power and divine majesty, causing everyone to fail to notice him at first. But the moment they did, their eyes stung, and they instinctively averted their gaze.
Zhu Meng also instinctively turned her head, not daring to look directly at the Divine Spirit.
At this moment, she was both happy and filled with emotion; happy to be reunited with Lin Rui, her former junior disciple, while also feeling a sense of wonder at her junior's experiences, which were nothing short of legendary.
In just six short years, this 'junior' had already ascended to the Divine Throne, becoming a Divine Spirit.
Lin Rui's eyes were focused, gazing up at the mural above.
The content of this mural was clear to him the moment he entered, and now he watched intently the content of the seventh picture.
Of course, the subsequent murals were also important, but those murals' contents were very similar to the historical materials they currently had: the Great Sun Venerable establishing the Divine Court, later awakening the Supreme, and attempting to seize the Truth Divine Throne, with only minor differences.
"Xiao Rui, do you still remember what the Star Map Master conveyed to you through the mouth of the Destiny Weaver Woman?"
Li Weiliang turned his head to look at Lin Rui: "The part about the serpent and the forbidden fruit in the Bible has some similarities with these murals."
Su Luoli mentioned that when she met the Star Map Master, a Bible lay open in front of him.
At that time, the page of the Bible was describing the story of Adam being tempted by the serpent to disobey God's command and eat the forbidden fruit.
Lin Rui nodded first, then inquired: "Professor Han, have you determined the identity of this tomb's owner?"
"It should be the Priest of the Light King!"
Han Tiantong answered from the back: "However, at the time of the Light King's demise, this person's cultivation was still very weak and thus avoided that calamity. But this person harbored extreme hatred towards the Master of Destiny and the Great Sun Venerable, with pictures cursing Them scattered throughout the cave. Of course, the pictures are very obscure, how to put it? Very abstract."
