Chapter 604: 322: The Changes of Time_2
At this rate, by this time tomorrow, he should be able to amass enough to enter the ruins of the Death Desert again.
“There’s no rush, let’s finish exploring this Ancient God Tomb first!” Looking at the Ancient God Tomb passage that extended downwards in front of him, Su Nan revealed anticipation in his eyes.
The Twelve Zodiac has only been open for a few minutes now, and if all goes well, it should be enough time for him to finish exploring the Ancient God Tomb.
He glanced at the foresight and paused.
He decided to use foresight first.
Even though the Twelve Zodiac wasn’t within the scope of his foresight, foresight had never shown an instance of entering the Twelve Zodiac.
This time, 6 foresight opportunities were consumed.
[You’ve arrived at the Ancient God Tomb. You know that this Ancient God Tomb is extremely dangerous, yet it harbors a massive secret. You plan on exploring this place.]
[While you proceed deeper into the Ancient God Tomb via the stone steps, you encounter several Illusion Realms. Fortunately, with the Art of Oblivion, you manage to easily escape.]
[Unfortunately, when you reach the fifth stair, your Art of Oblivion invalidates, causing you to be trapped in the Illusion Realm which resembles the city of Great Yu Dynasty from a thousand years ago.]
[After two hours, you’ve exhausted all methods at your disposal but are still unable to escape from the Illusion Realm.]
[After six hours, despair fills your heart. You realize that the only way out is to kill every single person here.]
[Eight hours later, you decide to take action. Your brutal actions in the city quickly attract Powerful Persons from the Demon Hunting Bureau, and three early-stage king-level experts surround you.]
[A minute later, you engage in a fierce battle with these experts. Due to your superior strength, you manage to gain the upper hand.]
[Two minutes later, these three are no match for you and suffer heavy injuries.]
[Three minutes later, you successfully kill all three of them. However, this leads to the arrival of an even more formidable enemy.]
[An emperor-level powerhouse appears. You die.]
The foresight ends, leaving Su Nan disappointed.
From beginning to end, the foresight failed to reveal any information related to the Twelve Zodiac. As was the case previously, even Death’s Foresight couldn’t touch anything related to the Twelve Zodiac.
“Should I take a risk?”
Su Nan hesitated.
While it’s been confirmed that entering and then exiting the Twelve Zodiac could break out of the Illusion Realm, he still felt uneasy without the guarantee of foresight.
“Fine, let’s take a risk!”
Looking at the downward-sloping, bottomless stone steps, Su Nan took a deep breath and his eyes showed determination.
After all this struggle, he finally found a seemingly effective method. How could he give up?
Step by step, he descended the blue stone-crafted stairs.
This was his first time exploring a dangerous area without foresight, and it was also a Forbidden Land.
Fortunately, he had a backup plan.
He had over a dozen Perfect Death Resurrection Cards. Dying once wouldn’t cause him much damage. This was his confidence to undertake any risks.
The stone stairway was long and seemed to have no end.
With limited time, Su Nan quickened his pace.
Soon, he arrived at the fifth level mentioned in the foresight.
The surroundings changed instantly, transporting him to a bustling city from a thousand years ago, the Great Yu Dynasty!
His gaze fell on the gate of the Twelve Zodiac on the panel, and the prompt immediately appeared before his eyes.
“The Twelve Zodiac is open today. Would you like to enter now?”
“Yes!”
Without any hesitation, Su Nan once again entered the Twelve Zodiac in the next moment.
The players from Poluo Country had all been dealt with, most of the Hua Country players had retreated from the battlefield, and around several thousand players were left in the battlefield at this point.
All these players were sighing in frustration but could do nothing about it!
They were players who had been temporarily stranded here.
To leave the Twelve Zodiac early, one must kill an opposing player. However, with Su Nan present, a majority of the players from Poluo Country were quickly eliminated by his two avatars in a short span of time, which resulted in most players not getting a chance to kill.
“God Zhang Yang?”
“Why has God Zhang Yang returned?”
Seeing Su Nan, everyone was slightly taken aback, not understanding why Su Nan had entered the Twelve Zodiac again.
Su Nan ignored the players and chose to quit again.
The scene in front of him changed, and darkness enveloped everything again.
He returned to the Ancient God Tomb.
Looking down at the blue stone steps beneath his feet, Su Nan grinned, easily solving the illusion that could not be escaped in his foresight, under the power of the game.
His steps didn’t stop, he continued downwards.
On the sixth step, he returned to the Divine Ruins from over 1,500 years ago.
Upon reaching this point, his connection with the outside world was completely severed, as if he had entered another space and could not feel the existence of his avatar.
Su Nan didn’t explore further and entered the Twelve Zodiac, escaping from the illusion.
On the seventh step, he returned to Tianyun County three thousand years ago. At that time, the Great Yu Dynasty had not yet emerged. The one ruling over Dongchen State was the Daxuan Dynasty.
That was a time of prosperity for the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path after the ancient times!
Su Nan initially wanted to try and see if he could learn some secret arts of the Fragrant Fire Spiritual Path. To his disappointment, the plan didn’t work out.
As he escaped the illusion, all the relevant information in his mind disappeared in an instant, which was much faster than when he previously acquired the Art of Oblivion.
After a little thought, he understood that this was because he was deep in the Ancient God Tomb, and the force from the tomb was far more potent than what was outside.
He gave up on the plan to learn secret arts and continued descending.
On the eighth step, he returned to Hongshi Town five thousand years ago when the human race was still struggling to recover from a massive catastrophe.
After escaping the illusion, Su Nan continued going down.
However, for some reason, he began to feel increasingly restless.
The deeper he traveled, the stronger the feeling grew, and he was even slowly overwhelmed with a sense of unease!
As if the dark passage below was a yawning abyss, waiting for him to enter, ready to easily swallow him up!
“Danger!”
Su Nan felt a chill in his heart and could not help becoming alert.
This was his body’s instinct warning him of a great horror below!
“What exactly is down there?”
Stopping in his tracks, he couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild.
According to the guess of the five major families, the illusions in the Ancient God Tomb consisted of nine levels, and he had already passed the eighth one. Moving forward would take him to the ninth level.
After the ninth level, it was suspected to be a door leading out of this world.
In theory, if it were merely so, he shouldn’t have a sense of danger.
“Du Qiyuan once said in my foresight that under the Death Desert, there was a relic where a group of watchmen who guarded this world once lived. I suspect that the Ancient God Tomb could possibly be what they were guarding. But what exactly could there be inside, worthy of being guarded?”
“Could it be that there really is some terrifying existence buried in there?”
Information related to the Ancient God Tomb flashed quickly in Su Nan’s mind.
Unfortunately, the information was too sparse. He couldn’t guess what was actually beneath there.
Helpless, he chose to predict again.
[You have arrived at the depths of the Ancient God Tomb, and a sense of anxiety is starting to rise in your heart. You realize that continuing further may lead to unforeseen dangers. Are you willing to consume certain Prediction Opportunities to preview the situation three minutes before your death?]
“Yes!”
The number of Prediction Opportunities on his panel decreased. To his surprise, this time it only consumed one prediction opportunity.
However, that was not the most surprising part. The content of the prediction was what truly shocked him.
[You arrived at the depths of the Ancient God Tomb. You know there is an unknown danger ahead, but after a moment of contemplation, you bravely proceeded forward.]
[Soon, under the power of the Ancient God Tomb, you entered the ninth illusion. Having hastily walked all the way here, you didn’t notice that the time here had changed compared to other places.]
[You appeared in the midst of a crowd. You saw that behind you was an ancient city, and in front of you was a huge battlefield where tens of thousands of humans and demons were confronting each other, poised to start a war.]
[Observing the humans around you, you instantly understood that you were in the ancient times over ten thousand years ago. As a human warrior, you were part of an impending great war.]
“The timeline has changed! What is going on?”
