Chapter 1739
Marissa stood up and followed Adrian to the main hall. When they reached the legate statues, Adrian stared at them for a long time.He then smiled and said, "Marissa, maybe Sean was right. This shrine may indeed be where hope begins. There are others besides us who are silently guarding this world. Sean did an excellent job."Marissa did not understand what Adrian was saying.He released Marissa and gazed at the statues. "According to the Seer's layout and my knowledge of mechanisms, the underground chamber here must’ve been built during the construction of this shrine. The mechanism to activate the chamber should be on the statue of the first legate, War Legate Enneagon."Adrian narrowed his eyes and continued, "Enneagon wears a silvery-white cloak with a golden flag on it. Let's see… If I were the Seer, I’d probably install the switch at…his head!" He jumped up and, from a higher vantage point, noticed eight finger-sized holes arranged on top of War Legate Enneagon's statue.

"This should be the third part," Adrian said. When he withdrew his hand, he noticed some blood on his fingers. He rubbed them together and murmured. "Blood, which means this is probably a balance system. Only by inserting liquid in sufficient weight, volume, and density will this part unlock. Since there's blood on this, Sean probably opened it using his blood."All right, I’ve located all three mechanisms. It's time to decipher them."Adrian stepped back a few paces. "Marissa, I'm going to need you to take a few steps back so that you don't get frightened."Marissa did not know what Adrian was up to but complied and stepped back two paces.Adrian leaped onto the statue of War Legate Enneagon. He had come across such a thing before, so he knew what he was doing. After examining the eight holes, he inserted a finger into one of them. With that, the sounds of chains rattling were heard coming from beneath the shrine as though something had been opened. Adrian smiled and jumped off

"Where are we? It's so cold." Marissa’s head swiveled around.Adrian was captivated by everything in the hidden chamber. He released Marissa's hand and said, "We’re currently inside a hidden chamber. Stay here and get some rest. I’m going to go explore the place. Call me if you need anything."Marissa nodded. Adrian left Marissa’s side and used his flashlight to illuminate the chamber's walls. There were drawings all over the walls, most likely done when the shrine was constructed. The message conveyed in these drawings is similar to what he saw in Wonder's world. He was sure they were records of information but he chose not to focus on them and instead approached the mummified corpse. The mummy was dressed in a robe, and Adrian was able to quickly discern its identity. 'This must be the Seer. He built this shrine and died here.'Marissa curiously asked, "Is there a body in here, Adrian?"Adrian nodded, "There is, but don’t worry. The person has been dead for several decades. I

Adrian contemplated for a moment. The Oracle Lineage must have been an ancient tribe from the old days of the empire. Adrian had never read any information about them. He then picked up on something else from the Seer's message.“The Chosen One?” he muttered as he pondered some more, recalling all the books he had ever read.Marissa suddenly piped up, "The Oracle Lineage was from a long time ago, probably when our country was still being ruled by an emperor. They used to live in the lower parts of the Oracle Sea, hence the name of their tribe.”"You know of them?" Adrian asked in surprise.Marissa replied, "When I was about thirteen or fourteen, I heard a story about them from an old man.”"An old man?""Yes, we used to call him Grandpa Bill. Grandpa Bill’s long gone now. He told us that the Oracle Lineage had been guarding a secret since the end of an ancient war. As time passed, their numbers dwindled, and now, they’re nearly extinct.""Tell me more about Grandpa Bill."Maris

Adrian had unraveled the puzzle, connecting the dots and revealing the bigger picture of the world's history.First, Wonder came to an agreement with the Creator, then used the power of runes to prevent those in the Oracle Lineage from losing their memories. Even though the world had been reset, the Oracle Lineage retained their memories and built the palace together with Wonder, where they also built the entrance to Wonder's world. Wonder left behind the method to eliminate the Creator, and that secret needed guarding. The Oracle Lineage, whose memories were intact, accepted this mission and vowed to pass down the secret. Moreover, they split the secrets into fragments and hid them all over the place.The Seer was the last protector of this secret. When he knew that his life was coming to an end and saw that he did not have any descendants, he built the War Legate Shrine to store the secret. He then built this hidden chamber and appointed a shrine caretaker to guard it.Many cent

Adrian observed the wall drawings intently. They portrayed a fierce battle between the immortals and the Creator. However, the drawings in the chamber were much more detailed in comparison to the ones in Wonder's world. The drawings the Seer had left behind told a story. In it, Wonder led a group of immortals in an intense battle atop a mountain. Shadows blotted out the sky and an army of monsters filled the mountain. The shadow in the sky had a giant face that looked hungry to devour life.The next part of the story showed a radiant beam of light piercing through the dark sky, leaving a hole that allowed sunlight into the world once more. The source of the light was the artifact of an immortal. It shined so brightly that it pierced through all matter. The artifact itself was a marble urn with a giant eagle engraved on it, and the light poured out of the eagle's eyes.The shadow, furious, killed the immortals and destroyed the artifact. Wonder then realized the Creator was afraid

Sp, how were the gems supposed to be taken away? Adrian looked around, where there was nothing else aside from the Seer's corpse, Marissa, and himself. He closed his eyes, trying to find answers to the current situation. He assessed everything that was in the chamber.‘The drawings, the Seer's corpse, Marissa, and myself… There's only us four in this chamber that is of significance, so could the key to taking the gems be on the corpse?'There was a robe around the corpse, but it had long fused with the corpse. It was impossible to use it to try and grab the gems. The drawings were not the answer either as they could not move, nor could the gems fly toward the drawing on their own.'What else is there? Gems that were used on an eagle’s eyes… Hang on, eyes? Eyes for a blind person? A blind person!' Adrian turned around to look at Marissa, who was sitting on the floor. With heightened nerves, he said, "Marissa, you told me that Sean mentioned there's a pair of eyes inside the War L

“This is a test set by the light. You have to face it bravely with your sincerity and kind heart," Adrian encouraged, knowing Marissa's spirit was pureShe got closer and closer to the gems. When she was centimeters away, a silvery light emanated from them and they broke free of the necklace. The runes carved on the gems began to radiate light, melting the outer layer, and revealing their clear and translucent true forms.The glowing, clear gems then entered Marissa's eyes. She screamed and hastily covered her eyes as she staggered backward. Her eyes were now glowing. The gems had replaced her original eyes, and the runes on the gems connected themselves to Marissa's veins.These eye gems took root and repaired Marissa's vision. As Marissa’s screams faded, the light finally vanished. Her eyes were now deep blue and carried an ethereal beauty."I can see..." Marissa murmured as she looked at Adrian, then around the whole chamber. "I can see!" she exclaimed excitedly.Adrian breathe
