Chapter 1475: Origin of the Gods
Within the desolate spacetime wall, a Primordial Infinite Void vessel glided slowly through time ripples, advancing forward.
Lin Qiye had completely lost all perception of time. How long had it been since they were exiled here? Three days? Four days? Or seven? He had no idea.
The Gods of Great Xia were still sitting in meditation, recovering. For them, seclusion lasting years was nothing unusual. But the others had already lost their patience. Several Human Apex who had been playing cards for entertainment had completely lost interest, lying on the deck condensed from primordial qi, staring blankly into space.
Lin Qiye sat on the side of the vessel, gazing distantly at Lingbao Tianzun's back, his expression troubled.
"If you want to talk to him so badly, why not just go directly?" Zuo Qing spoke up.
"I…" Lin Qiye hesitated,苦涩ly replied, "I'm afraid that after the conversation, it will completely extinguish the last shred of hope in my heart…"
Lin Qiye knew that the current Lingbao Tianzun was no longer that Baili Pangpang. But he still held onto a glimmer of hope—after all, the Heavenly Venerable still retained Baili Pangpang's memories. Perhaps somewhere deep in his heart, he was still that familiar person…
Lin Qiye wanted to have a word with this Lingbao Tianzun, but he was also afraid of facing someone completely unfamiliar.
"Lingbao Tianzun is, after all, Great Xia's Lingbao Tianzun. Can you really avoid him forever?" Zuo Qing shook his head. "Some things must be faced eventually."
Lin Qiye gazed silently at that figure. After a moment, he let out a long sigh.
He stood up from the vessel and was about to walk toward the front when the Primordial Infinite Void vessel beneath his feet suddenly jolted!
Boom—!
The tremor instantly awakened everyone on the vessel. The Gods of Great Xia who had been meditating opened their eyes, confusion flickering across their brows.
After all, this was the end of spacetime. Besides them, there should be no other material existence here… Moreover, this Primordial Infinite Void vessel was currently sailing through time itself. How could it shake for no reason?
"Hm?"
Lingbao Tianzun, standing at the very front of the vessel, seemed to sense something. He uttered a soft sound, his brow slightly furrowing.
Above the Primordial Infinite Void vessel, within the endless grey of Chaos, a massive shadow slowly passed overhead, gliding silently across the heads of the crowd…
The shadow's appearance was soundless. Not even the Gods of Great Xia had sensed it in the slightest. Lin Qiye's spiritual感知 was completely ineffective within this spacetime wall. Now seeing this massive shadow appear so eerily, his heart lurched!
Within this spacetime wall, besides them, there was actually something else?!
Lin Qiye squinted to look. The massive shadow drifting above their heads was actually a structure built from countless massive stones. Compared to it, the vessel everyone was riding was pathetically small. Any single stone brick at the base of this structure was larger than their entire boat.
As this stone structure passed above their heads, the crowd's vision was blocked by countless rock layers. Apart from occasional glimpses of several stone skeletons, they couldn't make out its full form at all.
"What is that…" Lin Qiye stared at this awe-inspiring, majestic stone structure, his brow tightly knit.
The same疑惑 existed in the minds of all the Great Xia gods. In terms of size, even Heavenly Court was only about one-tenth or one-fifth of it.
Within the spacetime wall, from the moment this stone structure appeared until it completely passed overhead, it took a full dozen or so minutes. Only after everyone had fully emerged from its shadow did they manage to catch a glimpse of its entirety.
From the exterior, it looked like several towering stone pillars inserted into a thick stone foundation. It resembled either an altar or some kind of ancient city. They couldn't see clearly into its interior, only catching vague glimpses of stone skeleton figures nestled within—ancient and mysterious.
"Heavenly Venerable…" The Jade Emperor gazed at this eerily appearing stone structure and turned to Lingbao Tianzun. "Do you know what this is?"
Lingbao Tianzun gazed at the massive shadow. After contemplation, he said, "This one has a speculation, but is not certain… This thing is moving in the same direction as us, and its speed is faster than the Primordial Infinite Void vessel. Since that is the case, let us go take a look."
"Wouldn't there be danger up there?"
"If this one's conjecture is correct, there should be no danger… Even if there truly is danger, this one will ensure your safety." Lingbao Tianzun spoke calmly, his tone serene yet somehow imparting a sense of security.
"Yes."
Under Lingbao Tianzun's control, the Primordial Infinite Void vessel gradually accelerated, chasing after the retreating massive shadow. Soon, they reached the edge of the stone structure, and everyone's feet landed firmly on the ground.
Beneath the grey sky, countless majestic stone pillars stood upon the earth. At this moment, Lin Qiye suddenly felt as if he had returned to solid ground.
"Stay close to me."
Lingbao Tianzun stood upon the ground, his fingertips lightly pinching, as if calculating something.
The crowd followed closely behind Lingbao Tianzun, walking straight across the barren stone ground toward a certain direction.
As Lin Qiye advanced, he carefully observed his surroundings, his heart filled with shock.
Although he didn't possess An Qingyu's [Unique Correct Answer], from the traces on these stone surfaces, this place was at least tens of thousands of years old. Some stone fragments bore holes worn through by years of wind erosion. At the edges of distant ruins, there were also numerous marks left by water scouring.
This thing definitely wasn't originally located at the end of spacetime… It should have come from Earth, just like them.
If that was the case, then who on earth built these things?
It must be noted that any single stone brick beneath Lin Qiye's feet was over a hundred meters long, with no signs of joining or splicing. Even with modern advanced technology, such thick and massive stones couldn't be processed to this degree. Yet this structure had existed on Earth for at least ten thousand years.
Lin Qiye and the others followed behind Lingbao Tianzun, pausing and walking. After about half an hour, they arrived at the central area of this stone structure.
Here, the foundation had been artificially elevated. A series of massive stone steps, each over half a meter high, appeared before Lin Qiye. The steps rose continuously toward the sky, like a pyramid with its top cut flat, standing solemnly beneath the grey heavens.
Lin Qiye stepped up the stairs one by one. After ascending to the topmost platform, magnificent ancient stone statues came into his view.
Each of these statues was as large as a mountain. The carving technique was extremely crude, as if they had been打磨 into shape piece by piece using stones against each other. Even so, on those blurred, indistinct faces, a trace of divine charm still flowed.
"This is…" Lin Qiye stood frozen on the spot as he gazed upon these towering statues.
"It looks like some kind of mythological sacrificial site… But which myth does this belong to?" Nezha surveyed the surroundings, speaking with puzzlement.
Just then, Lingbao Tianzun, standing at the very front of the crowd, fell silent for a moment before speaking slowly:
"This is the earliest faith to appear on Earth, the origin point of all myths… This place is the birthplace of the primordial gods."
