Chapter 1106 The Presentation of the Golden Kingdom and the Revival of the Gods (4k)
"earthquake!"
The violent tremors radiating outwards from the ruins of the Golden Kingdom instantly affected the entire Death Desert.
Even in the Karah region, on the edge of the Death Desert, a strong tremor was felt.
Those who managed to escape by sheer luck looked back towards the direction of the Golden City and suddenly saw countless yellow sands shooting into the sky, like a volcanic eruption, reaching straight into the clouds.
Just as dawn broke and the horizon was completely visible, a sudden surge of yellow sand obscured the sky, instantly darkening the entire desert.
Him and the others stared at the sand wall that seemed to separate the entire world, feeling the ground tremble more intensely, their faces filled with the relief of having escaped death.
What exactly happened in that golden city?
"Boom!"
With increasingly terrifying and violent tremors, the rock walls above the Golden City cracked layer by layer, and boulders fell down, as if the end of the world had suddenly arrived.
But the golden light emanating from the Golden City instantly merged into one, enveloping the entire city and deflecting the falling boulders, which then crashed back onto the rock walls and turned into dust.
The "Lunar Chariot" flying high in the sky was not repelled by the light barrier. After a brief moment of vigilance, Dark relaxed.
At least for the time being, they are considered part of this golden city and will not be affected by the "collapse of heaven and earth" caused by the earthquake.
At this moment, the top of the pyramid was already engulfed by a powerful golden light. But the voice of the heroic spirit remained clear.
Even the earth-shattering chaos and thunderous roars could not drown out the eerie sound. After the earthquake lasted for several minutes, Dak suddenly looked up and saw that the distance between the light shield and the rock wall above him was rapidly shrinking.
In the blink of an eye, the light shield reached the top of the rock wall, crushing the already shattered rock into a spiderweb pattern. The resulting pulverized pieces were pushed to both sides, and the light shield continued to rise, the vibrations becoming increasingly violent.
Looking down, the distance between the "Lunar Chariot" and the buildings below appears to be rapidly decreasing.
The top of the pyramid suddenly rose, and it could no longer be seen from the chariot.
Dark frowned, and the "Chariot of the Moon Goddess" extended its "Wings of Moonlight" and slowly rose.
This golden city seems to be breaking through the rock walls and rising to the ground!
The chanting of the heroic spirits suddenly grew louder, and the golden light atop the pyramid vanished instantly as if extinguished.
Half of the rhombus-shaped black diamond on the altar had sunk into the star pit, and a thick, black liquid was gushing up from the bottom of the star pit, gradually boiling and foaming.
Only the crater at the very center was filled with blood, which rippled slightly amidst the violent shaking.
Black foam, mixed with a trace of blood, churned and overflowed, filling the altar before flowing to the ground and piling up continuously.
More and more foam appeared, and a slurry formed inside.
The Golden Land bandits and Sand Clan members kneeling around the altar were gradually submerged halfway in the churning black foam. The black liquid flowed from the feet of the heroic spirits and seeped outwards along the cracks in the pyramid's bricks.
The entire golden pyramid was gradually eroded by black, and the aura of death and filth grew stronger.
The power of the sacrifices continued to grow, and the Golden City continued to rise.
After a brief moment of shock, although their hearts were still pounding, their outward emotions had largely calmed down.
After Emma finished copying the blood-painted array, she immediately looked down.
Although all the gold in the city of gold was glowing, the gold bricks in the buildings and on the floor clearly emitted a more intense golden light.
These intense golden rays extended in all directions, like streets on a city map, cutting the entire Golden City into countless pieces.
Emma's attention then fell on the route map formed by the bright lights.
This map, which spans the entire Golden City, is also a massive and terrifying transmutation array!
However, at its current height, the "Chariot of the Moon" is not yet able to overlook the entire Golden City.
Emma couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
The Golden City was rising faster and faster. The golden light shield had completely adhered to the soil above, and the density of the soil was constantly increasing under the pressure, but the Golden City was still rising at an accelerating rate.
When all the "Fairy Beasts" regressed back to "Cute Beasts," a further anomaly finally occurred on the altar atop the pyramid. A jet-black liquid submerged the altar, and the continuously generated foam piled up like a mountain. The head of the gold digger was lifted high by tentacles extending from a rhomboid black diamond, and golden spots of light appeared on its pale, bloodless face.
A ninth tentacle, formed from condensed blood, emerged from the central crater and pierced the gold miner's neck with a "whoosh".
The Nuggets, who should have died, suddenly opened their eyes. Their two golden pupils rolled up and down, revealing blood-red whites.
More and more spots of light appeared on the face of the Nugget. Suddenly, intense golden light burst forth from the Nugget's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, and its skin became translucent, faintly glowing with gold.
But beneath that golden surface, blood vessels were still throbbing.
Filth, brilliance, stench, scarlet...
Chaos.
Finally, the golden light pierced through the skin, and the blood dissolved the bones. The gold-digging head transformed into a purely luminous body.
Nine tentacles were inserted below the neck, pushing the golden head even higher.
The tentacles contracted and intertwined to form a neck, and below that, a slurry was poured.
Zhu's shoulders and collarbone.
A new body is slowly coalescing during the ritual.
This new body had only a golden, luminous body above the neck, while the body below the neck was a pile of pitch-black flesh and blood.
Of the nine tentacles, four separated and intertwined to form two arms, four separated and intertwined to form two legs, and one blood-red tentacle transformed into a spine.
The outline of a human body begins to take shape.
"What is that, the Golden King?" Alibaba and Malt couldn't help but ask.
Dark's gaze also focused on the newborn body. But as he looked at the newborn body, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
It wasn't the newborn body itself that was the problem—although he found it a bit strange, who knows if the Golden King was originally like that? What really made him realize there was a problem was the golden coffin he saw inside the pyramid.
—If this body, currently being formed during the sacrifice, is that of the Golden King, then what lies inside the golden coffin within the pyramid?
Ultimately, were the other golden figures that emerged from the golden coffin truly resurrected because of the blood sacrifice at the top of the tower?
The more Dak recalled what he had seen, the stronger his doubts became.
He looked at Emma, seeking her opinion, only to find that Emma was completely captivated by the transmutation circle of the Golden City.
The blood transmutation array atop the tower and the transmutation array within the Golden City are, from the current perspective, completely different transmutation arrays.
This adds to the doubts.
But upon closer reflection, Dak suddenly realized a problem he had never noticed before.
The murals were originally discovered in a secret room.
The sixth mural depicts a colossal golden beast responding to human sacrifices. The seventh mural shows a ferocious and greedy golden beast devouring all the offerings and humans.
The eighth mural depicts a bizarre pattern formed by human blood and corpses on the ground.
That pattern bore an eight-tenths resemblance to the blood-forged array atop the tower. So, what happened next?
Human sacrifices summoned a giant golden beast.
The golden behemoth constructed a blood alchemy array using blood and corpses. That was clearly not the end.
Because it was not explained what the purpose of constructing the final blood alchemy array was.
So, there is a ninth mural!
The scene unfolding before our eyes on the altar is the ninth mural.
The golden behemoth that was initially summoned was not necessarily a god, or even a real creation.
It is a symbol of greed, an accumulation of desires.
The real reason for the downfall of the Golden King is hidden in this ninth mural!
Dak suddenly realized.
He had always believed that the eight murals depicted the Golden King sacrificing his entire kingdom in pursuit of immortality, ultimately failing and leading to the downfall of the Golden Kingdom.
But after exploring the pyramids, he discovered that the Golden King may not have failed in his pursuit of immortality.
The golden figures that emerged from the golden coffins seemed to indicate that he had not offered up the entire kingdom; there was not a trace of malevolence in those resurrected golden figures.
They even ignored Dark and others.
It's as if their respective rebirths were always within expectations.
The eight murals actually depict things that have absolutely nothing to do with "immortality"...
It purely depicts the "destruction of the Golden Kingdom"!
The real reason for its destruction lies in the ninth mural! The nascent new body that is forming is the cause!
While thinking.
Dark frowned, suddenly catching a familiar scent. His "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" noticed it even earlier, instinctively exclaiming, "Divinity has been born!"
"Boom!"
The golden shield of the city finally broke through the ground, and golden light shot out from the cracks in the earth, turning the yellow sand in the sky into a true gold.
Golden sand fell like rain, flowing down the surface of the hemispherical light dome. The top of the pyramid was the first to emerge from the ground, and the newborn body came into contact with the first ray of sunlight.
In the vision of "Fantasy Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye", countless divine energies suddenly appeared out of thin air and surged wildly toward the newborn body.
The golden head, which was formed from the condensation of golden light, received the infusion of divine energy and gradually solidified. The traces of gold mining could no longer be seen in the details of its facial features.
The Golden City was rising at near its limit, its ferocious momentum uprooting the entire surface, and golden sand falling from the sky cascaded down like a waterfall.
The "Moon Goddess's Chariot" hastily accelerated, finally avoiding the embarrassing situation of being hit by the buildings of the Golden City.
Golden sands piled up like mountains on the edge of the golden city, perfectly surrounding the entire city.
The tremors finally stopped, and golden light broke through the sand and dust, bringing the light of the rising sun to illuminate the dawn.
The protective barrier surrounding the entire Golden City still existed, but it was noticeably dimmer.
Silently, at the top of the pyramid, behind the newborn body, appeared a magnificent golden coffin covered in decorations.
The "Fossil Pterosaur" flew back to the "Chariot of Luna." From the entrance where Dark and his companions entered the pyramid, golden figures began to emerge.
They stood blocking the entrance, all looking up at the sunlight streaming down their faces.
A moment later, the golden figures suddenly turned around and leaped one by one to the top of the pyramid.
The spirits surrounding the top of the pyramid suddenly began to move.
The heroic spirits facing this direction turned around in unison, blocking the golden figures below. The heroic spirit holding the black book stared solemnly at the suddenly appearing magnificent golden coffin, his chanting abruptly ceasing.
But the purpose of the sacrifice had been achieved; the newborn body was fully formed at that moment.
Divided by the neck, the head of the newborn body was like a golden man, while the body below the neck was a pitch-black flesh and blood.
Its shoulders are broad and muscular, but not overly bulky. Rather, it leans to the side, yet every muscle exudes power.
Its features are exquisite, with long, narrow eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips, making it as handsome as if it were sculpted.
If it weren't for the bizarre combination of its golden head and pitch-black flesh, it would surely have been a handsome man.
As the foam and sap receded, it emerged from the filth, radiating divine brilliance from within.
This is beyond the realm of "demigods." It is a god, an absolute god!
The gods have been resurrected!
Alibaba, Maiya, and Aishi are still unaware of what they have witnessed.
But this was the second time Dark had witnessed the resurrection of a god, and he recognized it almost immediately, which suddenly increased the pressure on him.
“Raise it a little higher,” Emma suddenly said.
The "Fairy Tale Animal Rabbit" immediately urged the "Moon Goddess's Chariot" to continue rising.
The golden city that had already broken through the ground grew smaller and smaller in their field of vision until the entire city was finally within their view.
Emma's left eye emitted a golden light as she rapidly recorded the transmutation array that covered the entire Golden City.
Dark glanced at her briefly and took a deep breath. Men always have to bear the burden of women's greedy desires.
"Click."
A strange sound emanated from the ornate golden coffin. The coffin lid, carved with scales, was gently pushed open.
