Chapter 109 Deceiving the Gods! Deep Within the Forbidden Land! The Bible of the Dead!

Terence looked at the smiling Ancient One, instinctively hugged the Sun Bible tightly, his face full of rejection.

"This is a sacred object belonging to the gods!"

"It doesn't belong to you—"

Gu Yi smiled and nodded, saying softly, "Then consider it a loan! I'll return it to you when I'm done!"

Terence tried to struggle a little longer, pleading with a pained expression, "Please! Please don't do this—you can't understand the incantations about the Egyptian gods anyway, so giving them to you is useless!"

talking.

Terence once opened the Sun Bible and showed it the various obscure and difficult-to-understand ancient divine texts recorded in the book.

"Look!"

"People who haven't studied this won't understand it at all!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Manchu glanced at it curiously and realized that he indeed could not understand the divine script inscribed on the golden pages.

To put it bluntly...

Regardless of the system of divine script, they all look similar to scribbles. Without systematic learning and training, anyone who comes here will be completely clueless.

The Ancient One noticed Fu Manchu's suspicious gaze, snapped her fingers, and the Eye of Agamotto glowed green. The author of time had once again chosen to use cheat codes.

Countless images of light and shadow flashed across Gu Yi's eyes, and a vast amount of complex divine knowledge was completely absorbed and mastered by her in an ineffable way.

Those already plain eyes now held an even greater sense of vicissitude!

"Thank you so much, Professor Terence, for your patient guidance. I have now mastered all the sacred texts of the Egyptian gods!"

With a wave of her hand, the Sun Bible, which Terence was holding tightly, nestled into her arms like a fledgling returning to its nest.

Terence looked distressed.

He could sense that this time it wasn't the Ancient One forcibly taking the Sun Bible, but rather the Sun Bible choosing her!

It's inexplicable.

Terrence feels like he's been cheated on by the Ancient One?

What kind of garbage artifact?

You betrayed them just because they waved to you?

Am I joking with myself?

Ignoring Terence, who was sulking, the Ancient One casually opened the Sun Bible, her fingertips lightly tracing the rows of cuneiform script on the golden pages. Obscure and difficult syllables flowed from her lips like water, echoing continuously on the main altar, which served as the Eye of Horus: "Supreme, most excellent, most good, like the sun at its zenith, illuminating the nine netherworlds—"

As the Ancient One recited the Sun God's incantation with intonation, the Sun Bible gradually revived, emitting a hazy golden light. Countless divine documents formed from holy light appeared out of thin air and began to arrange and combine under the Ancient One's mental control.

When the last divine rune fell, all the runes were specially woven by the Ancient One into a magnificent poem praising the sun god.

Buzzing—

The Hamunaptra beneath their feet began to tremble slightly.

The nine golden obelisks standing all around suddenly burst forth with dazzling brilliance.

In a daze, the sun in the sky above seemed to begin beating like a heart.

Thump thump thump ———

As the Ancient One recited, a strange heartbeat began to echo within Hamunaptra.

The voice, filled with divine power, was extremely oppressive, and Terence, a mere mortal, immediately knelt on the ground.

Even Fu Manchu showed a solemn expression, and could only grit his teeth and resist with his strong martial will.

"Don't resist!"

Gu Yi's voice rang in Fu Manchu's ears, patiently persuading him to abandon his ridiculous imperial dignity.

"This is Ra, one of the supreme gods of ancient Egypt and the sun god!"

"For you, a mortal emperor, to bow down to a deity is not a shameful thing at all —"

A flicker of struggle crossed Fu Manchu's eyes.

As the former supreme ruler of the Eastern Continent, even though he is now being chased and beaten into a ditch by Captain Patriot, his innate pride makes him subconsciously despise all barbarians outside the Eastern Continent—well, his ancestral problems are another matter, anyway, the current Fu Manchu considers himself the orthodox one!

I am the Son of Heaven!

Now you want me to bow down to a barbarian god?

Are you kidding me!

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Fu Manchu proudly raised his neck, his true dragon energy condensing to its peak to resist the power from the sun god.

Gu Yi sighed helplessly.

She actually despises people who are so obsessed with saving face that they suffer for it!

Each time, she had to coax the last emperor like a child.

But you still have to coax her!

What can she do?

She was helpless too!

"To forge your holy armor, to rebuild your empire—"

"For ultimate victory, you must accept this moment of temporary surrender!"

"Your Majesty, you don't want to be chased like a stray dog ​​by Captain Patriot again, do you?"

No matter how you put it, nothing is more effective than the title of "Patriotic Captain"!

Upon hearing this name, Fu Manchu's expression changed immediately.

Recalling the days when he was treated like a dog by Captain Patriot, his neck didn't seem so stiff at this moment.

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head sometimes!

Fu Manchu slowly loosened his fist, abandoning the idea of ​​continuing to fight with his martial will.

The holy light energy of the sun god instantly invaded his body, warm and comforting!

In a daze.

A loud eagle cry suddenly rang out under the clear blue sky!

"Hey!!!"

The radiance from the sun instantly condensed into a line, imprinted on Fu Manchu's brow.

next moment.

The rune representing the all-knowing eye shone brightly between Fu Manchu's eyebrows.

This also means that Fu Manchu has been granted the honor of being a servant of the Sun God!

"Smack!!!"

Ancient One slammed the Sun Bible shut, her expression solemn as she solemnly instructed, "I just used a substitution, taking advantage of Terence's existence to deceive the Sun God, causing Him to perform a miracle and bestow upon you the honor of being a servant of the gods."

"But this lie won't fool Him for long. In three days at most, He will discover that this is a false sacrificial ceremony, and all the honors He bestows upon you now will turn into a curse from the Sun God."

"You must, before sunset in three days, use your status as a divine servant to steal the three thousand years of solar divine power stored at the main altar and complete the restoration of the Dragon-Patterned Holy Armor. Otherwise, once night falls, all the curses and dangers within Hamunaptrata will resurface—and only the blood of us outsiders can truly appease the wrath of the gods!"

Fu Manchu remained silent.

It wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but rather that he was completely frozen in place by the immense power of the Sun God.

According to the Ancient One's description, he knew that a large amount of energy was stored inside the main altar. Although he had tried to guess as much as possible, he really did not expect there to be so much!

The key is that it's not only plentiful, but also incredibly nourishing!

As a privilege bestowed by the true God, Fu Manchu naturally grasped his powers without needing to learn them.

As the all-knowing eye between his brows flashed a light, the nine obelisks immediately poured the vast power of the sun god into Fu Manchu. The extremely dense holy light energy directly solidified, freezing him like amber.

A triumphant cry!

The Dragon-Patterned Sacred Armor, which had long since merged with Fu Manchu's spirit and body, let out a deafening dragon roar.

The Manchu sacred armor, which has been passed down for nearly three hundred years, conveyed an extremely urgent desire to Fu Manchu!

Steal it!

Take it!

It wants to devour it completely!

Just like Nurhaci, the ancestor of Fu Manchu, who stole the glory of the Ming Dynasty three hundred years ago.

To completely seize the rich heritage of ancient Egypt, accumulated over three thousand years!

This is the Dragon-Patterned Sacred Armor's truest desire!

Just like the most basic human instinct to eat!

Gu Yi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, having finally completed another task.

But she had no time to rest.

He immediately rallied his spirits and led Terrence toward the restricted area of ​​Hamunaptra's mausoleum.

There are still many things she needs to accomplish.

Terence followed carefully behind the Ancient One.

As a lowly being with absolutely no say, he naturally had no right to interfere with the Ancient One's plans.

He was, after all, just a mortal. Even though he gritted his teeth and persevered, the long walk still made his legs weak.

Hamnata is known as the City of the Dead.

Since it is a city, its most obvious characteristic is naturally its size!

The magnificent complex covers an extremely vast area. Not to mention the huge areas buried under the yellow sand, even the part currently exposed is enough to make Terence's legs break.

"No—I can't! Respected Lady Gu Yi, I really can't walk anymore!"

"My legs are killing me! Please let me rest!"

Terence stopped and plopped down on the ground, repeatedly pounding his calves with his hands.

The long walk caused muscle spasms, and as soon as I stopped, a tingling, numb, and throbbing pain surged up at the same time.

He lay on the ground like a rogue, silently vowing in his heart that even if he was beaten to death, he would never leave again!

The Ancient One did not waste time with Terrence.

She simply raised her hand and snapped her fingers.

The Eye of Agamotto cast its signature green light, illuminating Terence.

"I have eliminated the negative effects on your body!"

"But I can't help you with your mental exhaustion—"

"So I'll have to trouble you to hang in there a little longer."

Terence took a deep breath, and the soreness, numbness, and swelling in his body disappeared like flowing water.

But as the ancients said, spiritual weariness is like a maggot clinging to the bone, impossible to get rid of.

"Hamunata is so big, we can't just wander around aimlessly, can we?"

"Don't you know how to use teleportation? Can't you just teleport directly to your destination?"

Gu Yi shook her head and explained softly, "This place is blessed by the power of the Egyptian gods. With my current cultivation level, I cannot directly break through the gods' spatial blockade to open the portal. I can only walk there myself."

"But don't worry, we're definitely not searching aimlessly."

"Trust me! This is the safest route we can take with you in my arms!"

Terence had lived for decades, and this was the first time he had walked so much that he felt like crying.

"How much further is it? Give me at least a glimmer of hope!"

Gu Yi smiled calmly, "It's not far! We'll be there when you're about to give up!"

Terrence wailed, "I can't hold on any longer!"

The Ancient One gently patted Terrence encouragingly and smiled, "Don't worry, I definitely know your limits better than you do right now!"

"Let's go! If we don't hurry, it'll get dark! We have to reach our destination before midnight, or we'll be in big trouble—you probably know better than I how ancient Egypt dealt with trespassers!"

"I'm sure you definitely don't want to see that!"

Terence shrank his neck, but the thought of the various torturous punishments in ancient Egypt suddenly gave him a surge of energy.

"Let's hurry up and go! Don't waste any more time!"

"...

'

With Terrence no longer holding them back, their pace noticeably improved.

With the Ancient One, a cheater with unparalleled abilities, leading the way, the journey was smooth and effortless.

at last.

Before Terence became completely paralyzed.

The two stopped in their tracks.

A massive stone gate blocked the way ahead.

"There's no way out!"

Terence said breathlessly, but his whole being exuded an indescribable joy.

It's good that there's no road!

Since there's no road left, shouldn't we stop walking?

The Ancient One casually summoned the Sun Bible and, in front of Terrence, recited an awkward incantation: "Open Sesame!"

As the Sun Bible shone with golden light, the sleeping Hamunaptra began to revive and respond actively.

The clicking sound of gears meshing could be heard continuously coming from the walls.

The long-sealed door slowly opened.

Ancient One turned to Terrence and solemnly instructed him, "Professor Terrence, we are about to officially enter the core of the forbidden zone of the mausoleum. Do not move around without permission, or it will be extremely dangerous."

"As you know, all the pharaohs throughout history were powerful dark sorcerers. Only they themselves probably know exactly how many deadly curses and terrifying dark magic they laid upon their tombs!"

Terence nodded repeatedly.

Although he admired ancient Egyptian culture, it did not mean that he could accept the cruelty of the pharaohs throughout history.

"Don't worry, I absolutely won't cause any trouble!"

Gu Yi nodded in satisfaction and responded with a smile.

"Great, let's hurry up!"

"Fu Manchu is currently stealing the power of the Sun God to repair the Imperial Weapon, disrupting the delicate balance of this place. For three thousand years, Hamunaptra has been a temple of the gods by day, and a tomb of the dead by night!"

"Once night falls, the slumbering spirits of the pharaohs will awaken as the balance of yin and yang is disrupted—"

"As outsiders, we certainly won't receive a friendly welcome; we'll only be treated as invaders who have invaded our territory, and they won't hesitate to teach us a lesson with blood."

After Gu Yi finished speaking, she took the lead and rushed into the restricted area of ​​the mausoleum, heading straight for her next destination.

Terence hurriedly followed.

The two passed through many doors and finally stopped in a tomb chamber in the center, where two altars were placed.

On the altar sat an ancient stone coffin, surrounded by several mysterious stone boxes.

Terence couldn't resist his curiosity and went to examine them, only to find that each stone box was inscribed with the same words: "Whoever opens this box without authorization will surely die a violent death!"

The Ancient One ignored Terence's warning and directly opened the stone coffin on one of the altars in front of him.

The coffin lid slammed to the ground, revealing the scene inside.

An ancient skeleton that has dried up and weathered.

There was also a black book, completely different from the Sun Bible, made of an unknown material, that exuded a terrifying aura.

Ancient One casually produced the black scripture and, as usual, handed it to Terrence: "Professor, could you please open the Bible of the Dead for me again? Thank you for your cooperation!"
