In the blood-red mist, Qiao Yu ventured deeper along the altar.

The surrounding scenery slowly changed, eventually transforming into a vast valley.

Within the valley stood a towering mountain that pierced the clouds. A stream flowed down from the mountain, as clear as a jade ribbon, and the pleasant sound of running water echoed softly.

The voice that had called out to Qiao Yu earlier had originated from the peak of this mountain.

Qiao Yu discovered a small path at the foot of the mountain, and he followed it as he climbed towards the summit.

Upon reaching the top, a large stone door came into view.

Pushing open the door, he found a long stone tunnel. As he opened the door, flames instantly ignited, illuminating Qiao Yu's path forward.

Qiao Yu took a deep breath and stepped inside.

The moment he entered the stone tunnel, Qiao Yu's expression changed drastically!

Because on both sides of the stone tunnel, he discovered the same kind of stone carvings as at the bottom of the Yellow Springs!

Judging by the carving techniques, the stone carvings in this tunnel and those at the bottom of the Yellow Springs were made by the same person!

However, the content of the stone carvings here was completely different from those at the bottom of the Yellow Springs.

Qiao Yu carefully began to examine the stone carvings, and as he did, his face turned red.

The first few stone carvings detailed how a tall, handsome man, driven by his own selfish desires, transformed into various animals and mated with them, giving birth to new races.

The scenes depicted in the stone carvings were too vivid, making Qiao Yu feel somewhat shy.

If he wasn't mistaken, that man should be the legendary God-King Zeus, and those races were the current Beastmen.

Qiao Yu scrutinized the stone carvings. Besides recording Zeus's "misdeeds," they also documented that during the mythological era of the First Universe, in addition to Zeus's control, other important positions were held by Zeus's children, wives, and brothers to maintain his rule.

According to the descriptions in the stone carvings, Zeus was a god obsessed with power and often used despicable means to eliminate gods or humans who opposed him.

Eventually, both the Humans and Beastmen of the First Universe could no longer tolerate Zeus's brutal rule. They rose up in rebellion, the two races working together for the first time to fight against Zeus, attempting to overthrow the rule of the gods.

However, judging from the scenes in the stone carvings, Zeus wielded a giant shield, and the attacks of even the strongest Human and Beastman warriors could not break through its defense.

On the contrary, the terrifying lightning that swirled around Zeus would claim countless lives with each strike.

Just as Qiao Yu was curious about how the Beastmen and Humans managed to defeat Zeus, the scenes on the stone carvings disappeared again!

Just like the spring at the bottom of the Yellow Springs, the stone carvings here were also as smooth as a mirror, clearly having been deliberately erased.

Qiao Yu frowned, then continued to walk deeper into the stone tunnel. After walking dozens of steps, the stone carvings reappeared.

This time, Zeus no longer had the high-spirited demeanor he had before. Instead, he appeared very defeated, because the giant shield in his hand had been shattered, becoming tattered and broken.

This meant that the Humans and Beastmen had ultimately defeated this incredibly powerful God-King.

Then, in the last stone carving, Zeus's body was placed inside a stone coffin, and the content of the stone carvings ended there.

Qiao Yu's heart pounded wildly.

Both the stone carvings here and those at the bottom of the Yellow Springs had the most important parts deliberately erased.

It seemed that there were two groups of people. The first group was the one who left the stone carvings, wanting to tell future generations about something.

The other group was the one who erased the stone carvings, wanting to hide some secrets.

Qiao Yu felt like he had been drawn into a massive whirlpool.

After examining the stone carvings, Qiao Yu continued to walk along the tunnel, and at the end of the tunnel was a huge stone hall.

Illuminated by the flames, a massive stone coffin came into Qiao Yu's view. The coffin was engraved with profound runes, exuding an ancient and desolate aura.

Qiao Yu was shocked. Could this coffin be the one that buried Zeus?

Suddenly, a tall and handsome man sat up from the stone coffin.

His face was like it had been carved by knives and axes, his eyebrows were like sharp swords, and golden locks of hair flowed down from his head, shaking this majestic mountain.

"Qiao Yu, hello." The man smiled at Qiao Yu. "Worthy of being Qiao Anqing's son, you really look like him."

"Who are you?" Even though he already had a guess in his mind, Qiao Yu couldn't help but ask.

"The God-King, Zeus."

Qiao Yu gasped, his pupils revealing an undisguised look of shock. This legendary figure was indeed still alive!

"Don't be so surprised. Has no one told you that gods never die?" Zeus revealed a confident smile.

"No, I'm not surprised that you're not dead. I'm surprised that your tastes are so incredible. You'll sleep with anything! San Ge would have to concede defeat to you." Qiao Yu exclaimed.

Zeus was stunned.

Then he heard Qiao Yu say,

"Hey Zeus, although people's kinks are free, and the kinks of gods are even more free, I still suggest you see a doctor when you have time."

Zeus: "..."

He vaguely felt that this young man in front of him didn't seem to know how to hold a conversation.

"The voice that called me here just now was you. Do you know my father, Qiao Anqing?" Qiao Yu pressed on.

Hearing the topic return to the right track, Zeus finally breathed a sigh of relief and said,

"Yes, your father foresaw your tribulation a long time ago, and he also foresaw that you would meet me."

"Cut the crap. How old is my dad, at most? How could it be a long time ago? You're not even trying to make your lies believable."

Qiao Yu pretended to know nothing, trying to learn about his father from Zeus's mouth.

Unexpectedly, Zeus just smiled with interest when he heard this.

"It seems that your father really hasn't told you anything. In that case, I won't overstep my bounds. Let your father explain the truth to you. I just need to complete my transaction with him."

"A transaction with my father?" Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow.

"That's right. Since you don't know anything, I won't waste any more words with you. You will naturally understand when you meet your father. Now, accept my inheritance, child."

Sitting cross-legged on the stone coffin, Zeus showed a gentle smile, then raised his hand, releasing dazzling lightning.

"Wait! I still have questions I want to ask you. Wait a minute, hey!"

The intense light made Qiao Yu couldn't help but close his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, everything in front of him had changed.

Before him was a vast and ancient stone platform, and he was in the very center of the platform.

Just as Qiao Yu didn't know what was happening,

"Boom!"

A thunderclap resounded.

A wave that extinguished everything and annihilated all things spread out, causing the heavens and earth to tremble!

A massive bolt of lightning suddenly tore through the sky and crashed towards Qiao Yu, like a world-destroying lightning dragon, filled with the meaning of death.

Qiao Yu's scalp instantly went numb. Even the perfected Underworld Rakshasa Body couldn't withstand this terrifying lightning. He opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood, but the blood evaporated directly in the air due to the high temperature of the lightning.

Dancing arcs of lightning enveloped Qiao Yu, and it was even possible to see Qiao Yu's bones through his flesh.

"Don't use any power to resist. Use your heart to feel the power of this lightning." Zeus's voice rang directly in Qiao Yu's mind.

Hearing this, Qiao Yu gritted his teeth. He was being tortured by this lightning and was in so much pain that he wanted to die, and now he was being told not to resist and to feel it with his heart? Wouldn't that directly turn him to ash? A curse immediately escaped his lips.

"I feel your mother!"
