Chapter 1538: Chapter 1538: The Deeper the Investigation, The More Alarming

Jiang Xiaobai and others looked at the objects around them without any intention of possession; after all, at their level, treasures were not so rare.

Although they had never seen these things before, they were only surprised for a moment and then remained calm.

“Pack up the items and see if we can find anything else. If this place was a resource depot during the ancient war, then there must be others throughout the battlefield.”

Gu Ning looked around and spoke indifferently.

Everyone began to busy themselves; since everything was in a mess on the ground, they simply took it away.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before Jiang Xiaobai found a few jade slips.

“These are communication jade slips… there’s still information inside.”

Jiang Xiaobai took a glance and frowned tightly: “The battle situation is critical, requesting support from the Western Gate celestial army…”

On the other side, Gu Ning also casually picked up a jade slip and read its contents aloud.

“Triple Altar Sea God, Central Altar Marshal perished together with the enemy commander, both spirit and soul obliterated?”

“This title does sound quite formidable.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai was completely shocked!

Wasn’t this the Number One Rebel of the Heavenly Court?

This guy’s combat power was fierce, and he died here?

But he quickly realized, even a war deity like Yang Jian is here, Nezha’s death is not surprising.

And with such messages, he became even more eager to know what exactly had happened at that time, this battle seemed like an apocalypse!

“Quick, look for more jade slips, find out what the enemy was!”

Jiang Xiaobai urged hurriedly.

Since these were military communication jade slips, they might still contain a lot of information, possibly even about the enemy.

All began to search immediately, and indeed, they found many more jade slips scattered among the armor and jars.

All of them recorded battle situations, but it was impossible to discern the timeline, which message was earlier, and which was the final message.

And reading these messages, everyone felt their hair stand on end!

“Who is King Li the Pagoda Bearer?”

“Where is Ten Thousand Demon Ridge?”

“Who is the Eastern Emperor, such a daunting title, yet we have never heard of it!”

Listening to the exclamations of the people around him, Jiang Xiaobai felt his scalp tingle, unable to imagine just how fierce the events of the past were.

The Eastern Emperor, one of the Five Great Emperors, had appeared?

He could understand why the era of the Heavenly Court had ended; with such terrifying emperors joining the war, it was almost certain the end was near.

So, who was the enemy?

If the enemy was so fearsome at that time, why hadn’t they taken over the entire world, and how had humanity managed to survive until now?

“Is that all?” Jiang Xiaobai looked at the group.

“That’s all, there’s just battle reports inside, no important information, not even a description of what the enemy was… but from this, you can feel that the enemy was very powerful.”

Gu Ning said solemnly, “The strongest of humanity must have been mobilized for that war, yet they were still beaten back… So what happened to the enemy afterward, how could the world not have been destroyed?”

At that moment, Gong Yuxin shared her thoughts: “Is it possible that the enemy was also human, and then these elites were overthrown, so our world didn’t collapse?”

Jiang Xiaobai rolled his eyes instantly.

You tell him the enemy could be anything, but he absolutely does not believe they were human!

Since this is the Primordial World, albeit countless eras later, who in the era of the Heavenly Court would dare to oppose it?

Could the great and mighty Monkey King, who couldn’t even defeat a doorkeeper, tell me humanity could have overthrown the Heavenly Court and the Jade Emperor?

Are you kidding?

Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes, trying to piece together some details from the scant clues he had, but there was simply too little to go on; all he knew was that he was at some sort of temporal node.

The many guesses were correct; this was the Primordial World!

Only, it’s the Primordial World countless years later, the Heavenly Court has withered away, and the orthodoxies are almost completely severed!

“Only by finding more of these bronze halls can more news be known…”

Jiang Xiaobai spoke and continued searching for any clues in the hall.

And the robed elder suddenly said, “I have a question, what about the restless spirits that permeated this secret place? Why haven’t we seen a single one?”

“Could it be that being sealed for a million years has led them all to perish?”

Just then, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly opened a cabinet and discovered there was a small room behind it!

“There’s something in here!”

Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly called out and went in to inspect it, and to his astonishment, found it was a formation!

“I understand now; this structure was not only a depot but seems also to be a kind of connecting portal. During the war, each building was placed at fixed locations, connected through portals, allowing appearances in any other halls at will.”

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the jade slips in his hand: “These messages were probably meant to be transmitted to the central region through here.”

Everyone was excited for a moment; if that was the case, then through this formation, they might discover more bronze buildings, or even find where the headquarters is located!

“But this formation is utterly useless.”

Gu Ning looked at the completely damaged formation: “It is completely unintelligible how this formation was constructed, let alone trying to repair it, and it seems the energy source used is also different.”

Jiang Xiaobai fell silent, clenching his fists.

They had finally found a clue, and it was useless?

And they had searched here thoroughly, ending up with nothing and hitting a dead end.

“There must be many more places like this, and now that the restless spirits have dissipated, there is no danger, we might still discover more.”

The robed elder couldn’t help but get excited; they could potentially follow the trail and unveil that era!

Who wouldn’t be excited?

Jiang Xiaobai nodded, and the group soon left the building, but Jiang Xiaobai began to study a token.

He felt that since this was from a time of war, it must be necessary to carry along; surely they couldn’t be expected to carry such a huge hall around, right?

Indeed, after infusing spiritual power into the token, he felt a connection with the hall.

“Shrink?”

He thought quietly to himself, and in a flash of white light, the bronze hall transformed into a model of a small house, quietly lying in Jiang Xiaobai’s palm.

“This works? How was this achieved in that era, although now there are flying objects of variable sizes and even some palaces, but there is absolutely no way to place a formation inside such an item!”

Gong Yuxin was startled, and everyone became even more curious about how splendid that era was!

Similarly, the more they knew, the more despair they felt.

Such a powerful era, yet it was destroyed?

Who did this?
