Chapter 1 God King's Tomb

"As expected of the God King's Tomb, actually hidden in this vast sea of stars. This feat is truly unprecedented."

Monrick and the others spoke with increasingly excited and agitated expressions.

"Then, Leader, what do we do next?"

Bai Li asked, her eyes flickering slightly.

"Follow me! Remember, don't do anything unnecessary, or you'll trigger the mechanisms here. At that point, no one will survive."

Kavis said, his expression somewhat twisted, as if recalling the tragic scene of his first exploration.

"Yes, Leader."

Bai Li asked respectfully.

Kavis then led everyone forward, climbing the steps.

If you looked up along the steps, you could see a towering statue of the God King standing at the end, its size comparable to a planet, inspiring immense awe.

The further they went, the more uneasy everyone felt. At this moment, Monrick noticed the rectangular objects floating around them, covered in special chains.

He swallowed hard and said, forcing himself to speak,

"Do you see those floating gray rectangular objects?"

"Yes! Mechanical coffins."

Bai Li and the others looked carefully at the vast sea of stars before them and discovered that the starry sky was indeed filled with many objects. At first glance, these objects looked like drifting meteorites, but in reality, they were all mechanical coffins.

"Who are in these mechanical coffins?"

"They should be buried with him."

......

"Stop discussing and follow me. Don't look at things you shouldn't see."

Kavis suddenly instructed Bai Li and the others.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded nervously.

After giving his instructions, Kavis quickened his pace without hesitation.

Bai Li and the others immediately followed in an orderly manner. Right now, they only felt a sliver of security when they were behind Kavis.

After all, Kavis had been here before and survived. He should know the inside story better than anyone.

Time passed by, second by second.

Unconsciously, Kavis and the others had entered the depths of the sea of stars, and they could no longer see the path they had taken.

Xiao Jie turned his head and looked around, gazing at the brilliant stars, and curiously asked Enlock,

"Lord Enlock, is this really a real starry sky?"

"It's not necessarily a real starry sky. If it were a real starry sky, we wouldn't need to walk so carefully. We could just fly up."

Enlock squinted his eyes and said.

"That makes sense! Then, Lord Enlock, should we find an opportunity to shake off Kavis first? Leave the exploration team."

Xiao Jie asked tentatively.

"No, we won't leave. Because we don't understand the situation inside the God King's Tomb at all. There are mechanisms everywhere here. And these mechanisms are all extremely deadly. Not to mention anything else, look below at the starry sky!"

Enlock squinted his eyes and said.

Xiao Jie and the others looked down, only to see that the starry sky below was very dark and bottomless.

"I can't see clearly. It's pitch black."

"Observe carefully. Can you vaguely see a vortex shape in the dark starry sky below? If I'm not mistaken, what's below isn't a natural phenomenon, but a man-made trap. Anyone who gets close will be drawn in and devoured by its terrifying gravity. Even if you're piloting a VI-generation mech, I estimate you'll have a very slim chance of survival."

Enlock said solemnly.

After Enlock said this, Xiao Jie and the others observed carefully again and found that they could indeed vaguely see many vortex shapes in the dark starry sky below.

Their nerves became even more tense, and they didn't dare to breathe loudly, for fear of making a mistake.

At this time, Kavis continued to lead everyone deeper with a blank expression.

Ancient Legendary · Shadow of Calamity.

In a luxurious room, Su Mo stood with his hands behind his back, his face full of vicissitudes, his eyes blankly gazing at the displays in the room, his expression extremely complex.

At this moment, Anasen, who was standing beside him, respectfully said to Su Mo,

"Lord Su Mo, most of the adults' relics are here. He instructed that these things are all for you."

"I understand. You can leave now."

Su Mo took a deep breath and said slowly.

"Yes."

Anasen respectfully retreated.

Su Mo walked to the bookcase, where all kinds of things were displayed, including the God Creation slates he had given the old man.

The Creator · Devourer said in a low voice to Su Mo, "The first black isolation box on the left contains the Negative God Fragments. There should be about five of them. Those are what the old man collected over the years."

Following Little Devourer's instructions, Su Mo took down the black isolation box, opened it, glanced at the Negative God Fragments lying quietly inside, resealed it, and put it back, losing interest.

Then, Su Mo picked up another box next to it and opened it, only to find two special bank cards inside.

Su Mo picked up a bank card and examined it carefully, only to find the old man's real name and security key recorded on the back.

"This is a bank card from the City of Star Ring, but there probably isn't much money in it. The old man probably spent it all."

The Creator · Devourer introduced to Su Mo.

"Yeah, what about this one?"

Su Mo asked curiously, looking at the other card.

"This one is from the Positive Universe, the Universe Alliance Government Bank. There should be a lot of money in it, but you won't need it."

The Creator · Devourer replied indifferently.

Su Mo then put the bank cards back. He continued to look through the things on the bookcase.

Soon, he found a file bag, and he was slightly stunned when he opened it and glanced at it.

The file bag was full of documents, all of which were property ownership certificates.

"What are the ownership certificates for?"

"The Positive Universe, and these are all properties that have been laundered."

The Creator · Devourer explained.

Su Mo was increasingly surprised as he looked at them. The old man's assets were extraordinarily abundant. He said,

"How much are these properties worth?"

"How much do you think the legacy of an empire is worth? Although the old man squandered a lot, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse."

The Creator · Devourer said proudly to Su Mo.

"Finally, some good news. I was worried I couldn't afford to support the people below."

Su Mo sighed and replied.

"Look at your pathetic ambition."

The Creator · Devourer was too lazy to complain about Su Mo.

At this moment, Su Mo's gaze fell on the God Creation slate he had taken from Icaroya, and he was momentarily lost in thought.

Looking at this slate, Su Mo's expression revealed a complex color. He chatted with Little Devourer in a low voice.

"Little Devourer, can you tell me about the old man? I feel like I don't understand him at all, and I'm still confused."

The Creator · Devourer was silent for a while, and then said to Su Mo,

"It's not that the old man deliberately hid things from you and didn't tell you about his past, but that he really couldn't bring himself to say it. Because his past life was indeed that of a failure."

"I understand."

Su Mo replied in a deep voice.
