Chapter 0166 The Dungeon Labyrinth
After briefly reviewing the strange knowledge given to him by Kelvin, Los put his head back on and turned around to see Charles and Danny looking at him with awe.
Los didn't say much: "Check around the altar; there should be a door leading to the ground."
The two nodded and carefully examined the altar.
About two minutes later, Danny said, "Master, there's a door over here, but it seems like it can't be opened from the outside."
Los turned and walked over, and could vaguely see the gap and outline of a door on the wall covered with murals on this side.
The content of this mural looks quite interesting.
The murals depict a scene from ancient times where a massive ocean flood threatened to completely submerge an island belonging to a certain tribe.
Then the great Savior and Father, Cthulhu, descended from the heavens, cleared away the raging flood, and sealed away the monster that caused the disaster, an enormous sea serpent.
Afterwards, to express their gratitude to the great Savior and Father, people began to build altars and statues to serve him as the one true God.
After looking at the mural, Los burst out laughing: "What a magical world! Cthulhu and the Great Old Ones have already started saving the world?"
He then asked Charles, "How much of the content of this mural do you think is true?"
Charles examined the mural carefully again and said, "It should be five points."
“How do you know?” Los asked.
Charles said, "That giant sea serpent seems to have appeared in other mythologies, which means it was real. At the same time, in other systems, there were indeed terrifying floods in ancient times that threatened to drown all of humanity."
At this point, Charles said with a half-smile, "What's interesting is that the savior of the world is different in the legends of every religion."
Los was also learning about the true history of this world for the first time, which immediately aroused a strong curiosity in him.
Strictly speaking, he should have created this world, but due to his laziness, more than 999 areas of this world have blank spaces that he was unaware of.
Now, this blank space is being filled in by the unknown world. He is very curious about how this ultimate imagination master has perfectly integrated what originally seemed to be unrelated, even contradictory, settings into a world within his own story framework.
"Whether it's true or false, let's go down and find out."
As he spoke, Los reached out and placed his hand on the image of Cthulhu on the mural.

A screeching sound rang out, and the stone door, about three meters high, slowly opened.
After the stone door opens, there is a staircase leading downwards, with luminous pearls that shimmer with a soft light displayed on both sides in seashells.
"My God! These luminous pearls are so big! If they were sold on the black market, each one would be worth at least ten thousand Rosa coins." Danny was shocked when he saw these luminous pearls.
Looking down, the steps seemed to lead to an abyss, with at least several hundred luminous pearls on both sides – that's worth millions of Rosa coins!
The currency of this era was genuine gold; several million Rosa coins were no small sum for the entire province of Massa.
Just as Los was starting to feel a little tempted, his eyes immediately fell on the faint green light shimmering on these luminous pearls.
"Forget it, if this thing is sold, it'll probably cause chaos." Los sighed.
This thing is obviously an ominous object brought out of the City of Dreams by those Deep Ones.
The entire staircase is quite steep and very long.
The three of them walked downhill for about fifteen minutes.
"How deep is this place? We're about 300 meters below the ground right now!" Charles exclaimed in surprise.
Los remained silent and continued moving forward quietly.
After about five more minutes, the three of them finally reached the end of the steps.
Looking around, it was a very large underground palace.
The underground palace appears to be about fifty meters high and has an area of about one hundred meters square.
The entire underground palace was built with a type of black rock, which looked very solid.
The underground palace is supported by about twenty stone pillars in the middle, which look very sturdy.
"My God! This looks at least several thousand years old. How did they even build it?" Charles murmured to himself, gazing up at the vast sky.
Danny, his nose twitching slightly, said, "Master, something's not right here."
"how?"
"The straight-line distance from here to the coastline is about one kilometer. The angle of the steps just now was forty-five degrees. The vertical distance we are descending now is four hundred meters, so we have moved forward four hundred meters."
"So close to the coastline, yet so dry, there isn't even a single drop of water here!"
Upon hearing this, Charles snapped out of his reverie, carefully assessed the situation, and found it to be true; the dryness here was completely opposite to that above.
The room where the altar is located gives one the feeling of being in a tropical rainforest.
This place is more like a temple built in the desert.
Los looked up and said, "Sealing an ancient god isn't something that can be solved by simply building a prison. One of the most important reasons is to make this ancient god completely leave its domain."
As he spoke, Los had already started walking straight ahead.
Soon, an incredibly heavy and old door appeared before the three of them.
This gate appears to be constructed from very ancient loess mixed with straw, much like the walls of an old rural mud house.
The air of countless years flows over it; the deep yellow soil and light yellow straw exude an aura as if they were artifacts passed down from ancient times, from legendary eras.
Charles swallowed hard, his eyes widening. "This...this..."
"This is a dungeon labyrinth, and imprisoned within is a true ancient god." Los's calm voice echoed in the quiet dungeon, slowly reverberating with a slight echo.
"The dungeon labyrinth really exists!" Charles felt a surge of excitement.
Everyone believes that Arkham contains a vast underground labyrinth of dungeons, hiding ancient technology and powerful life forms far beyond our time.
However, no one has ever actually seen what the dungeon maze looks like.
Charles has been studying these things for years, but seeing the maze's gate with his own eyes today is a first for him.
"Master, we want it!" Charles felt a little thirsty.
Los stood before the earthen gate and said, “Don’t place too much hope in the ancient gods. They may have been the origin or ancestors of mankind, but in this era, once the ancient gods emerge from the dungeon, we will only face one possibility.”
"The end of the world!"
Chapter 0167 The Serpent Encircling the Abyss
Hearing Los's words, Charles was somewhat incredulous and tentatively asked, "Master, is it really that serious?"
Looking at the mud door in front of him, Los said, "The ancient gods can be said to be the source of all life, or the end of all life. They are the ultimate beings that are truly perfect beings."
"And modern humans are like parasites on the ancient gods, evolving over countless long years. The ancient gods are indeed your ancestors, but if you were in their shoes, would you care about the life or death of the parasites on your body?"
Los said indifferently, "Or rather, you might wish all the parasites on your body would die off as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Charles felt his worldview had been drastically overturned; the theories he had previously explored were completely at odds with the reality he was now facing.
Los raised his hand and placed it on the mud wall, saying, "It's normal not to understand now. One day in the future, you will know that for mankind, the ancient gods can represent all the possibilities that mankind can imagine, but there is no mercy or redemption among them."
Just as Los was speaking, Danny, who had been silent all along, suddenly lost control and rushed into the mud wall. He then transformed into his ghoul lord form, opened his mouth, and began to gnaw on the mud and straw on it.
This startled Charles, who instinctively took two steps back.
Los frowned slightly upon seeing this, then reached out and grabbed Danny by the back of the neck, lifting his strong, muscular body up like a puppy, before growling, "Wake up!"
The sound was like a thunderclap in a clear sky, instantly stunning Danny.
Danny's eyes gradually cleared, and he stared blankly at Los and asked, "Master, did you call me?"
Charles, who was standing nearby, recounted what had just happened.
Danny's expression immediately turned very strange. He tried to vomit the dirt out of his stomach, but found that the dirt had already completely dissolved and disappeared.
"Master!" This startled Danny.
Because he hadn't felt anything at all, he thought he was still listening attentively to Los's story and had no idea that he had changed.
Los casually said, "You are, after all, a high-ranking member of the family; this little thing can't hurt you."
He then put Danny down, turned to look at the mud wall, and said, "It seems that the one inside still possesses some power."
As he spoke, Los took off his head and let his thoughts wander.
The next second, Los Angeles immediately felt his mind come into contact with another, extremely large mind.
In an instant, Los felt the scenery around him change rapidly.
When he came to his senses, he found himself no longer in the underground palace, but in a dry, cold world filled with piles of yellow earth.
This world is filled with wilderness and primitiveness, and at first glance it looks like a barren yellow land that has been abandoned for countless years.
On this cracked, yellow earth, a hazy, enormous figure lay prone on the ground.
At this moment, Los was no longer in human form; he had transformed into something resembling a cloud, composed of countless starlight.
Although it is somewhat small compared to that behemoth, its size is still quite large.
"How did you escape?" A powerful will resounded, not as a voice, but as a spiritual exchange.
If such a massive entity were to be heard by an ordinary person, that person would not only go insane, but the overflowing aftershocks could also completely destroy their body, or even burst them apart, turning them into a pool of blood.
Los was somewhat surprised to hear this. Judging from this question, the other party already regarded him as an ancient god, and even an ancient god who had been sealed away. There might even be some connection between the two.
Thinking of this, Los calmly replied, "I don't know. My current form is very incomplete. I have forgotten many things, and my form is trapped in a human body."
After a moment of silence, the other person said, "I can see that you have completely changed, and you probably don't remember me anymore."
Los: "Yes, but there seems to be some unseen force that brought me here."
The other party replied, "Since you've come here, it means you've already solved the problem above."
"Yes."
Los answered first, then asked, "Who are you? And who am I?"
After listening, the other party replied directly: "I have had many names throughout my long history, but according to your understanding of me, you called me the Serpent that Encircles the Abyss."
"The Serpent that Encircles the Abyss?" Upon hearing this, Los's heart skipped a beat; he had never heard of this name before.
"who am I?"
The serpent encircling the abyss replied, "Gatekeeper."
