Chapter 708: Chapter 417: Relic Discovery and Skill Fusion_2

Turning around, he subdued a Seven Stars Mysterious Evil that suddenly burst forth.

This was an "Assassin-Type" Seven Stars Mysterious Evil, its size merely a few times larger than an ordinary person, inconspicuously hidden among the towering ruins. This was a natural talent of assassin-type Mysterious Evils.

It was only when the Mysterious Evil leapt out that Xi Guang, the Demigod, noticed it. Seeing the terrifying energy erupting from the body of the Mysterious Evil, he let out a grunt, and his hand pressed down fiercely. His not-so-large palm seemed like a boundless world, absorbing all the released energy within, preventing the surrounding ruins from further damage.

A few moments later, Xi Guang, the Demigod, threw down the corpse of the Mysterious Evil for others to collect and continued deeper into the area.

This place was likely a traveling palace, its past grandeur and magnificence faintly discernible, though now most of the palace was in ruins, its defensive system completely destroyed, with hardly any gleaming treasures to be found.

If anything was left, only the main construction materials of the traveling palace had some value.

Xi Guang, the Demigod, could see that the epic-grade stone of the support pillars stood firm, and the surrounding walls were also made of extraordinary materials, enabling them to maintain their original form despite the erosion of time.

The ruins of the palace were vast, and the materials, if disassembled, were quite valuable.

To an ordinary major power, that is.

Xi Guang, the Demigod, naturally didn’t set his sights on these materials. The reason he came here in person was that the palace harbored some secret information!

His divine sense swept over and landed on a piece of equipment that had not been completely destroyed.

Probe, turn, activate.

Suddenly,

Along with the "zzzz" of static, strands of light wove together, projecting on a grey, dusty wall not far away.

"Indeed, it’s a special recording device that only the Candela Empire had. Such high-level recording devices must be activated with divine sense, which means, the owner of this palace was at least a myth... But that’s stating the obvious. To construct such a luxurious traveling palace, at the very least one had to be a myth."

The buzzing static lasted for a while, and the blurred lights finally formed a complete image.

It vaguely showed a map.

On it was written:

"Yunxia Province?"

The equipment was too outdated, and the writing wasn’t clear, but Xi Guang, the Demigod, could still confirm it. He had seen mention of it in other documents, that the Candela Empire possessed dozens of provinces, and Yunxia Province was one of them.

Each province of the Candela era was far larger than the territories of their Ancient Moon Dynasty.

"According to some records, the Candela Empire wasn’t distributed in a series of oases; their entire territory was bathed in brilliance, and even the mountains outside the cities were lands where the sun shone."

This map could support such claims.

Towns were densely packed upon it, with roads crisscrossing between them. These were likely the Candela Empire’s network of roads. They possessed a transportation system far more convenient than the present world.

However, at the edge of this map of Yunxia Province, darkness as black as ink was slowly seeping in.

Like ink spilled on a white sheet of paper, devouring everything it covered.

’...They... awaken... the corruption... is spreading...’

’Darkness is devouring the light, we have no escape...’

’Our City of Xi Guang... must stop... the spread of the Corrupted Traces, otherwise... the entire province will be consumed, and the land will never see the sun again.’

’The corruption is coming!’

’Zzzz—’

’Zzzz—’

The lights flickered and finally snapped off with a click.

"That’s it, it’s gone? What happened to the City of Xi Guang in the end? Was it devoured by the Evil God’s army?" murmured a myth, as if finding no difference from being cut off mid-Chapter. Damn it!

As the lights dimmed and the device broke down, Xi Guang, the Demigod, remained staring at the grey, decayed wall in front of him, silent for a long time.

He was pondering.

Was the fall of the Candela Empire due to the spread of the Corrupted Traces? What’s the difference between this corruption and the current Ghastly Realm? Could it be related to the awakening of the Evil God? Was the Evil God now awake or asleep?

Too many questions.

And far too little information at their disposal.

"Let’s go, to the next location."

...

...

Using the Mission Association as a channel, the Torchbearers also uncovered some ruins.

The exploration of these ruins was assigned as missions to teams that were close by. Upon reaching their destinations, the exploration teams conducted preliminary investigations. If the ruins were explorable, they would go deeper; if not, they would report the situation. After that, the mission levels would be raised for higher-level Torchbearer elites to take over.

If the estimated danger level near the ruins exceeded what the elite teams could handle, then the mythological powerhouses would take action.

Otherwise, if An Jianyou and the others had to take care of everything themselves, they’d be stretched too thin... while they had the ability to split themselves, they’d still be overwhelmed.

However, so far, there weren’t any ruins that needed myths to personally explore. Naturally, from these ruins, the Torchbearers hadn’t found many valuable items or information.

In there, were also Candela ruins, but that didn’t mean that all Candela ruins were valuable.

A Candela residential house still standing would also be considered a Candela ruin.

"Keep digging, and we’ll eventually find some useful information."

"Although, trying to piece together Candela history from these ruins is like relying on drawing cards to obtain some ancient Candela artifacts."

At least, he was able to roughly confirm that the fall of the Candela Empire was due to the Godslayer War.

Shaking his head, Fang You opened his panel and pulled up his own information box.

These days, he hadn’t been idle.

He had been planning, waiting for Black Blade, An Jianyou, and the others to advance one of the epic skills to the expert level, before he consolidated the skill seed to learn it.
