Chapter 1387: Chapter 606: Legacy of the Thief God_3

[You approach the fissure, and the chaotic spatial flux bursting forth instantly sucks you in...]

[As you fall to level ground amidst a dizzying whirl, you open your eyes to find yourself in an ancient and dimly-lit underground palace.]

[Countless treasure chests are scattered around the palace, most of them covered in thick spider webs and dust,]

[On the throne in the depths of the palace sits the skeletal remains of a Titan, also enveloped in a thick layer of dust and cobwebs, evidently dead for a long time.]

[Looking around, you notice rows of text carved on the palace walls.]

[...Huangwu Year 2785, theft of the Fire God’s Divine Artifact ’Divine Lamp’...]

[...Year of the Flame Disaster 4110, theft of the Kitchen God’s Divine Artifact ’Scent of a Hundred Flavors’...]

[...Year of the Flame Disaster 1365, theft of the Mold God’s Divine Artifact...]

...

Mu You reads line after line of text popping up, his surprise growing with each one.

The carvings on the wall are clearly the Thief God’s record of his life as a thief, noting only Divine Artifacts – mundane objects were deemed unworthy of listing.

With a total of 281 records of Divine Artifact thefts, Mu You can’t help but feel moved after reading through them all. This Thief God was truly impressive, having nearly stolen from every well-known deity!

Coming back to his senses, Mu You also becomes excited at the thought: Could it be that all these items stolen by the Thief God are actually stored in these treasure chests on the ground?

Although Mu You can’t use most of the other deities’ Divine Artifacts, they are still Divine Artifacts; giving them away or selling them would undoubtedly realize their immense value.

Besides, he even spotted among these records... the God of Order!

[...Year of Dread 5151, theft of the God of Order’s Divine Artifact ’Book of Order’...]

"Could it be that the Book of Order is truly here?" Mu You swallows, thinking that the Book of Order, his own professional Divine Artifact, would be no less effective than the Pen of Order if he could get his hands on it directly...

Without further ado, Mu You immediately controls his character to examine the chests.

[You use the Skeleton Key to open the nearest treasure chest...]

[Unfortunately, the treasure chest is empty...]

"Empty?" Mu You frowns, already considering a possibility.

Could it be...

He hurries to open all the surrounding chests.

[...The treasure chest is empty...]

[...The treasure chest is empty...]

[...The treasure chest is empty...]

...

"..." Mu You is at a loss for words, finding that all chests are empty. It was a false hope, what on earth is the Thief God playing at?

Until he opens the very last chest.

[You use the Skeleton Key to open the last treasure chest under the throne...]

[The chest is empty, but at the bottom of the chest, there is a stele with some inscriptions...]

["I am the God of Thieves, and he who inherits my authority must read these inscribed words and heed my lessons..."]

Mu You reads the entire text on the stele, which spans thousands of words and is mainly about the Thief God’s life experiences.

The Thief God stole countless times during his life; there was nothing in this world he couldn’t steal, and not even the mightiest deities could guard against his thievery. At his peak, where the Thief God passed, the Divine Race would flee in panic, fearing they could not escape fast enough.

But precisely because of this, the lineage of the Thief God became reviled among the Divine Race, with everyone clamoring to strike at him. The Thief God, having offended too many deities, was hunted down by a coalition of gods in his later years. Even after returning all the Divine Artifacts, he could not quell the gods’ wrath and was ultimately trapped and killed in this small space.

Before his death, reflecting on his life that seemed carefree but was actually marred by notoriety and desperate escapes, the Thief God was filled with regret. Therefore, he left this stele to warn future generations.

["...Let those who come after be careful in their words and actions, and remember that there is honor even among thieves. Always restrain your own greed, avoid stealing the core possessions of others, do not invoke hatred or karma and repeat the same mistakes..."]
