Chapter 651: Unlucky Anderson

After recognizing who the leader in the mural was, Klein subconsciously suspected that this was the content of his own dream.

However, he quickly dismissed that idea, because the unlucky Anderson was not anyone he knew, nor someone he had encountered and left an impression on. It was highly unlikely that he was an extension of his dream.

And Anderson clearly stated that he had become unlucky because he saw that mural, a strong correlation with it. So it should be part of his dream!

Refocusing and looking again, Klein quickly noticed several differences between this mural and the one Little Sun had seen in the abandoned temple of the : The background here was a sea burning with golden flames, while the previous one was a barren, dead plain; The destination here was the depths of the sea, while the previous one was a distant mountain, with a huge cross and a hanging figure at the top; Beneath the feet of the Fate Angel Uroboros here was black mud and fish inserted head-down, while the previous one had a winding, cyclical river.

Not the same mural, more like records of different stages of a pilgrimage… Klein nodded with a guess.

A scene had already formed in his mind: A long time ago, in some period of the Fourth Epoch, the Tail Eater Uroboros led a group of devout pilgrims or remnants of the True Creator's followers, pursued by many powerful enemies, traveling by ship to this sea area; For some reason, He abandoned the ship, and with the help of the True Creator or His own power, directly parted the sea, leading the faithful through this place into the God Abandoned Land, preserving the embers of organizations like the Redemption Rose and the ; In the God Abandoned Land, they crossed the barren plains and built temples along the pilgrimage route, which later became the ones discovered by Little Sun and his companions.

Judging from the fact that the Mercury Serpent was forced to restart his cycle and reverse into an embryo, the Tail Eater should still be alive... Does this mean that He led those pilgrims to their final destination—the sanctuary of the True Creator? Does this mean that the sanctuary of the True Creator is located somewhere in the God Abandoned Land? Thinking of this, Klein suddenly had some inexplicable feelings: If my guess is correct, it means that no matter how Silver City rescues itself, how it passes down the flame, once the True Creator fully awakens or returns to a normal state, they will inevitably be destroyed!

When you are very close to the divine kingdom and sanctuary of an evil god, your existence has nothing to do with your own efforts!

It's like foam stirred up in a surging sea; when the wave passes, it will disappear.

Human races, human civilizations are so fragile under the gaze of an evil god.

"No, I can't be so pessimistic. I was just guessing earlier. Maybe it wasn't Uroboros who caused Will Auceptin, the Speaker of the School of Life, to be reincarnated. Perhaps the True Creator is not so easy to recover or wake up. He might be restrained by the seal of the Seven ...

"So Silver City still has a chance. Before the evil god breaks free from its shackles, they must open a path between the God Abandoned Land and the outside world and move out! This is probably the reason why the Chief of Silver City released the Shepherd elder. They must use every bit of power they can..." Klein forcibly withdrew his thoughts.

He then became somewhat worried, afraid that he had already fallen into the "Cycle of Fate" created by the Tail Eater by coming here.

At that moment, he instinctively wanted to take four steps counterclockwise, ascend above the gray fog, and forcibly retrieve memories that might have been erased, but in the end, he suppressed this impulse and decided to observe first: From the perspective of interpreting symbols, there is no cyclical river here, only black mud with fish stuck upside down, representing not a cycle of fate, but the entanglement of misfortune!

This matched Anderson's words!

"As an Angel King, Uroboros definitely has more than just the 'Cycle of Fate'. It's completely that different temples and different murals use different abilities... Besides, this is a dream!

"Moreover, even if I do nothing and really am trapped in a cycle, constantly repeating the experience of talking to the Star Admiral and then deciding to observe, when next Monday arrives, the problem can be resolved. Then, the will not be able to be held as scheduled, Miss Justice and the others will surely pray in confusion, and I can use that to retrieve my memories..." Klein suddenly gained confidence. His panic and tension either disappeared or were deeply buried inside.

He looked up ahead and found that the hall was very deep, with no end in sight. The light from outside only reached this area; the rest was quite dim, getting darker and darker deeper in, and only faintly could he see wooden doors on either side, leading to unknown places.

Looking at this deep and dark scene, Klein's desire to explore dropped to the minimum: "Even here, I encountered a mural left by an Angel King; who knows what might happen if I go deeper into other rooms..."

Fear of the unknown is an extremely ancient emotion. Being able to foresee that it is dangerous but not knowing what the danger stems from is the unknown that brings the most intense fear. Klein took a few seconds to examine himself and stopped moving forward.

He then said to Anderson, who was chopping a giant log with an axe: "Why are you here?"

Anderson looked up at him and sneered: "I'm a treasure hunter.

"What do you think I'm doing here?"

A treasure hunter... Klein casually asked: "Is there treasure here?"

Anderson continued to work on his so-called dugout canoe, his voice suddenly lowering: "This sea area is full of treasure.

"As long as you can successfully get it and get out alive."

That's true... But the problem is, if you're not a demigod, it's dangerous here, and if you are a demigod, it's even more dangerous... Klein looked toward the depths of the hall and asked: "Do you know what's there?"

Anderson glanced in that direction: "No.

"At least a third of my companions formed a team and explored in there, and never returned."

"Are you referring to the real world or the dream?" Klein asked carefully.

Bang!

After the axe fell, Anderson laughed: "Of course, the real world.

"The other third of my companions who explored deeper in the dream also never came back."

...Klein took a breath, thought for a moment, and asked: "What about their physical bodies in the real world?"

"They mutated into monsters and killed quite a few companions." Anderson pulled out his axe and swung it down hard.
