Chapter 483: Chapter 459 Corruption Tower

“The orthodox Ancient Maya have long disappeared into the sands of history, yet they left behind some fringe descendants, artifacts, and relics. Scholars from the Mysterious Side and archaeologists from the real world have deduced some truths about ancient times based on these finds.”

“Many scholars speculate that the Mayans perished in a sudden disaster, which likely started with Sersi, a Divine. The fringe descendants of the Mayans believe that it was this Divine who betrayed the Maya and let the Evil Gods invade, leading to the fall of the Maya Empire.”

“From the looks of this temple, it seems their speculation is correct.”

Reina Svendun stood in front of the statue, her eyes brimming with excitement after insight into the historical truth.

Around her, scattered in corners or in front of statues, were some flint weapons, sacrificial items, or ancient trinkets, each emitting a faint ghost light.

Indeed, they were Curios.

In ancient times, perhaps they were just ordinary items.

Sealed in the ruins, a special environment caused them to undergo some subtle transformations.

Tang Qi glanced around, a hint of regret flashing across his face.

Though all are Curios, they hold a common Information Fragment.

“Curios transformed in a special environment might be destroyed directly due to the intense impact of the Spiritual Tide once removed from that environment…”

Because of this fragment, Tang Qi switched from “greed mode” to “sage mode” in a second.

These Curios are low-level, yet they are still Curios; taking them back as gifts for his students would be great.

Perhaps due to their fragile nature, even after transformation, they didn’t gain significant Transcendent powers. Once removed from the relic site and hit by the Spiritual Tide, they might turn into dust, thus losing any value.

Tang Qi, because of his insight, disregarded these Curios.

Reina Svendun, from the beginning, did not even look at these Curios.

She focused entirely on studying the statue of the “Hunting and Fertility God,” Sersi, while sharing her knowledge with Tang Qi.

An Extraordinary Warrior full of adventurous spirit and desire for knowledge!”

Tang Qi, sticking to his persona, listened to Reina’s explanation while silently comparing her to a warrior from the War God Sect, noting a vast difference between them.

Meanwhile, Tang Qi’s eyes also fell on the statue, a ghost light sweeping through.

“Curios: a despised statue, for some reason, her Believers betrayed her, and vandalized and insulted the statue… It can serve as a medium for curses, blasphemy, and such witchcraft.”

“Reason unknown!”

“The downfall of the Mayans originated from Sersi’s betrayal, Divine-level betrayal, could it also have led to the entire disappearance of the Maya Divine System… Although many deeply-rooted Extraordinary Organizations or Species still can’t bring back the Divines with the return of the Spiritual Tide, at least they know the Divines of their faith are in slumber.”

“And the Mayans, who once dominated the Federation and the Southern Continent, left behind fringe descendants but were never able to regain even a bit of their power, which likely means the Maya Divine System encountered a huge ordeal… The Chituaga Tribe is definitely not the descendants of the Mayans.”

“That Evil Seed which has devoured the Chituaga people, could it be the real culprit behind the devastation of the Mayans?”

“The answer must be within these ruins.”

A faint excitement also appeared in Tang Qi’s eyes.

He is both a Melter Wizard and a Secret Alchemist, as well as a “scholar.”

Faced with “the truth behind historical mysteries,” no scholar can remain calm.

Excited, Tang Qi’s alertness also reached its peak.

It was at this moment, a terrifying sign of danger from a distant land rapidly approached.

Tang Qi didn’t turn his head, but a scene automatically emerged in his mind.

From three directions, three thick columns of blood light slammed towards “Sersi Temple.”

How can it be? Due to being in this temple, did the Visares break through the “Original Restriction”?

As Tang Qi showed a hint of surprise, Reina Svendun also sensed the danger.

Immediately, an unexpected scene occurred.

The female adventurer, who could have left swiftly on her own, suddenly flickered in front of Tang Qi, grabbed him and threw him out of the temple.

Had Tang Qi’s reaction not been swift, suppressing the counter-kill instinct of his Chaga Fighting Technique, Reina Svendun would likely have been hammered to oblivion by him.

Whew!

Like a light floating leaf, Tang Qi stopped above another temple.

Then, his eyes.

The Visares Army, which should have been patrolling around the ancient city, trying to catch and kill the “little bugs” who had snuck into several temples, one by one started breaking free from some kind of “Original Restriction,” and with Blood Eyes opened, launched an attack on Tang Qi and Reina Svendun.

For a moment, the Blood-eyed Light ravaged the ancient city awakening from the age of black impacts and rotten years.

Under the grey overcast sky, Tang Qi activated a “Guardian Spell.”

He didn’t enter another temple right away.

His gaze directly overlooked those temples or sacrificial venues considered “treasuries” by other Transcendents, looking towards a very distant land, perhaps the core area of the ancient city.

There, an unimaginable construction stood towering.

Due to the great distance, even with Tang Qi’s eyesight, he could only faintly see that it was a black, oddly shaped pyramid.

“Compared to another civilization on the other end of the world, also fond of building pyramid-shaped mausoleums, the Mayan pyramids are generally smaller, but this one…?”
