Chapter 1 Lin En’s Question

Lin En originally wanted to land directly in front of the relatively intact house in the middle of the ruins, but he was blocked by an invisible force in mid-air.

Lin En was sent flying, a bewildered look on his face.

After finally stabilizing himself, Lin En stopped in the air, looking down with some confusion. What was that? A magic shield?

Lin En slowly flew downwards and quickly encountered the transparent barrier from before. He was bounced back by a gentle touch, although the force wasn't strong.

He plucked a hair and threw it, but even the hair was repelled.

Hmm~ I wonder how big this magic shield is? To test its size, Lin En flew along its edge.

As expected, the entire temple was covered by the transparent magic shield.

Looking at the temple ruins below, Lin En was a bit puzzled. The ruins looked like they were hundreds of years old, right? How could this magic shield still be running without any maintenance?

Lin En tried launching a Crescent Attack, but it was still deflected. It seemed he couldn't break it in his current state.

No choice, he had to ask.

Lin En stared at the transparent magic shield and tentatively asked, "Magic shield? Are you there?"

Hmm~ Just when Lin En thought there would be no answer, the chat page popped up.

——————————

Legendary Magic Array: "???"

Legendary Magic Array: "Who are you? What do you want?"

Seeing the reply, Lin En breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ah, my name is Lin En."

Legendary Magic Array: "Lin En? Never heard of you. What business do you have at the temple?"

Lin En: "I want to go in, but you're blocking me."

"I want to ask how to get in?"

Legendary Magic Array: "It's been over three hundred years since anyone's come to the temple. I didn't expect anyone to come today, but you can't enter now. I've already covered the entire temple."

"But I can't hold on for much longer. For hundreds of years, no one has maintained my magic array core. I might fail tomorrow."

Lin En: "Tomorrow?"

Legendary Magic Array: "Yes, you can come in tomorrow. After all, a magic array without magic power is useless, even a legendary one."

"By the way, once I fail, the suppressed devils will gradually revive. If you want to go in, you should be careful."

Lin En: "Devils? Wait, isn't this a temple? Why are there devils? And so many years have passed, are you sure those devils are still alive?"

Legendary Magic Array: "Hmm~ The weaker devils are all dead, but those dozen or so Epic-level devils and those two Legendary-level devils are still alive, though their strength should have decreased a lot after being suppressed by me for so long."

Epic? Legendary? Lin En quickly asked, "Then what level do you think I am at now?"

Legendary Magic Array: "You? You're almost at the Epic level. For your age, you're already very powerful. You have a chance to enter the Legendary level before you turn one hundred."

"The Temple Master entered the Legendary level when she was in her seventies, and was called a genius that was hard to come by in a thousand years. I was set up by her."

Oh, you'll soon see billions of people as awesome as me, Lin En thought to himself.

Lin En: "You were set up by the Temple Master? Then where is she now? People who reach the Legendary level have very long lifespans."

Legendary Magic Array: "The Temple Master, ah, she burned her life to forcibly enter the God-level and used forbidden techniques to seal the Evil God and herself."

"That's when I sealed the entire temple, and I've been here ever since."

Lin En thought, it's been hundreds of years, I wonder if the magic array knows how the catacombs were formed?

Lin En: "It's been so long? Do you know how you got here?"

Lin En waited in anticipation, wondering if he could learn something about the origin of the catacombs.

Legendary Magic Array: "Speaking of this, I'm no longer sleepy."

"I remember it started more than a decade after I sealed the temple. After I sealed the temple, people always wanted to break into the temple, but no one could break my defense. How could a group of people who weren't even Legendary level defeat me?"

"After that, adventurers came one after another, but they all returned without success. After all, who at the Legendary level and above doesn't know that an Evil God is sealed here?"

"After more than ten years like this, one day, the sky suddenly darkened, and then the whole earth began to tear apart. Then cracks appeared in the sky. Even the Evil God didn't have such great power. I had never seen that scene before."

"At that time, a crack in the earth came towards the temple. Just when I thought I and the temple were about to be torn apart, the crack went directly through the temple when it was about to approach. I and the temple were fine, only some houses collapsed."

Lin En: "And then? What happened then?"

Legendary Magic Array: "Then, for a moment, I lost my magic power connection. When I recovered, I appeared here, and then began a long wait."

"During that time, I also encountered people who suddenly appeared like you, who were very interested in the temple, but I didn't let them in, o(*￣︶￣*)o"

Lin En...

In other words, these catacombs have existed for a long time, and did not suddenly appear. Although he had guessed this when he met Lina, he didn't expect them to have been around for hundreds of years, maybe even more, possibly thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Lin En crossed his arms and closed his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

Hmm~~ Forget it, thinking so much is useless.

What he needs to think about now is, it's been hundreds of years since the temple, I wonder what's left? Let's ask.

Lin En: "Is there anything of value left in the temple now?"

Legendary Magic Array: "What counts as a valuable item?"

Lin En: "Like magic arrays like you, weapons, high-level elixirs, things like that."

Legendary Magic Array: "Those are gone. Everything you said is gone."

Lin En: "??? Impossible, such a big temple, nothing at all? I don't believe it."

Legendary Magic Array: "There used to be, but I used them all to replenish myself, so they're all gone."

"By the way, there are still magic books and divine art books in the temple. Do you want those?"

Lin En: "Yes, why wouldn't I want them? Are there more?"

Legendary Magic Array: "Let me think, no more, oh, there is me, but I think you can't afford to reactivate me."

Lin En's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this, and he immediately said, "Who said I can't afford it? Where are you located?"

Legendary Magic Array: "I'm in the main hall. The Temple Master and the Evil God are also sealed here. Are you sure you want to come?"

Lin En: "Tell me the location of the magic books and the location of the main hall."

Legendary Magic Array: "You really dare to come? I'll tell you now."
