Chapter 1043: Chapter 321 “Thousand-handed Shura” Samir Hodger_2 Chapter 1043: Chapter 321 “Thousand-handed Shura” Samir Hodger_2 This is another kind of “perpetual motion machine”.

However, as soon as he said this, he was met with Elder Clinton’s scoffing: “Who told you this was a labyrinth?”

Leonard Churchill was jolted awake by these words, vaguely grasping something, but he also turned and asked, “Senior, isn’t this a labyrinth?”

If not a labyrinth, then what could it be?

Elder Clinton smacked his lips and said, “This is a ‘burial pit’. The nobles of the Taron Dynasty all liked living human sacrifices, so they could enjoy their status even after death.”

Having said this, he glanced around the murky corridors and added, “Moreover, this burial pit is quite special. The King of Augustus didn’t just want someone to guard the tomb, his ambition was big…”

“???”

Leonard Churchill opened his mind at this point.

Right!

He had always thought that this was for preventing tomb robbers and such by creating a labyrinth.

Now that he looked at it, his thinking was too limited.

Elder Clinton’s eyes, which seemed to see through the endless years, were deep and flickering with elusive light as he casually spoke. “This isn’t simply a ‘burial ritual’; the entire labyrinth is a massive Spell Barrier, accumulating ‘Death Air’ and resentment. A million people were buried in this pit, with restrictions incessantly condensing the ‘Death Air’, their souls forever unable to escape. That guy… he wants to use this ‘Death Air’ to resurrect himself!”

“Resurrect?”

Leonard Churchill had an epiphany when he heard these words!

The King of Augustus actually wanted to resurrect himself? And at the same time, he suddenly thought of the Weeping Angel, which also gained new life through death?

Hiss… what a grand manoeuvre!

The labyrinth not only cultivated ‘Death Air’, but anyone who entered and was unable to leave would die here, becoming nourishment.

Leonard Churchill also felt fortunate that he had this knowledgeable senior accompanying him; otherwise, he would never have discovered such secrets.

With such a mysterious senior by his side who seemed to know everything, he didn’t feel out of place and directly asked, “Senior, can one really be resurrected after death?”

Elder Clinton, who had a pretentious character and couldn’t stand flattery, raised his neck and boasted, “What’s so strange about that?”

He explained, “Advancing to a certain price in any of the four sequences of [3 Healing] paths, one would have various abilities akin to resurrection to a greater or lesser extent. Just like your ‘Curse of Immortality’, isn’t it reversing the process of death?”

Leonard Churchill listened and realized that this was indeed the case.

The ‘Black Widow’ Hester’s Spoils of War that he had obtained in the Plague Marsh was of the Seventh Grade in the Plague Doctor sequence, which also contained some knowledge pointing to higher tiers.

Elder Clinton looked at the pile of Skeleton bones and said, “However, the Transcendent Force of all things in the universe does not arise from nothing; it’s a process where one kind of energy transforms into another. Life and death are the same. Essentially, it’s just the transformation of certain Extraordinary Traits. Moreover, this reversal process inevitably involves energy loss. Usually, to resurrect a person, one has to pay a price several times, or even tens of times greater. The higher the tier of the living creature that died, the greater the cost of resurrection. Emperor Augustus sacrificed so many people for his resurrection, I can’t think of anything other than that as his motive…”

“So that’s how it is.”

Leonard Churchill showed an expression of having learned something significant.

At the same time, a sharp glint was forming in his eyes.

He had heard about the tyrannical and incompetent nature of the ‘Mad King’ Auduin of the fallen Taron Dynasty, and now observing such methods of sacrificing tens and millions of people, he got a glimpse of it.

But at the same time, a doubt arose in Leonard Churchill’s mind.

If setting up such a grand scheme was for resurrection,

What has become of the Emperor Taren after three thousand years have passed?

Elder Clinton, who had seemingly seen through everything, finished speaking and then added, “Sadly, someone broke his play, and I’m afraid that King Augustus’s plan will come to nothing. Otherwise, just this labyrinth, with the accumulated resentment of the undead spirits over thousands of years, whoever came would have died. Those guys from before, they had no right to leave these corridors alive…”

“The play was broken?”

Leonard Churchill inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

It would have been bad news if that emperor had resurrected.

But listening to Elder Clinton, it wasn’t the people from the Southern Continent who had broken the play.

It must have been the people who entered here three thousand years ago.

And seeing this, by using “I Am the World”, Leonard Churchill gradually began to deduce some rudiments of the truth.

Someone wanted to stop the resurrection of King Augustus, guiding them to this tomb…

It was like a hand stretching from three thousand years ago to the present.

But incredibly shrewdly, almost completely hidden.

It was because he saw no traces that Leonard Churchill found this scheme eerily familiar.

…

Leonard Churchill had already become familiar with the structure of the Grand Cemetery Labyrinth.

Now that the monsters had been cleared by the people from the Southern Continent, the path was nearly without obstacles.

The labyrinth was roughly like a “Rubik’s cube”, and the trick to solving it lay in “running”.

Previously he thought there were mechanisms involved, but now it seemed that the Underground Palace itself was based on spatial rules.

By using speed to erase the spatial shifts of the labyrinth’s movement, one could find the exit.

There were decryption experts among the people from the Southern Continent, and he figured they would eventually find the method to solve it.

However, this pattern was a physical law that required continuous trial and error.

And the more people involved, the more complicated it was.

With such a large group, it would definitely take no short amount of time to decipher the code.

Although those people had already entered a dozen or so hours ahead, Leonard Churchill estimated that they might have only just left the labyrinth not long ago.

Although he knew that the people from the Southern Continent would inevitably leave something behind along the way, to avoid the creatures in the Underground Palace, he and Elder Clinton had no choice but to follow the paths those people took.
