Chapter 302: Chapter 131: Gary Smith’s Divine Temple, New Usage of Old Gods! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_4

However, once his strength increases, he could try probing a bit, like browsing around the God of Madness in the Mad Highlands.

Next, after understanding some basic information, Gary Smith also learned that Serena Martin is not really seeking death, but because the Ancient Bookworm sensed something that could help it evolve.

The Pet Beasts of the Time Branch - the History Series, once evolved, may shift from being auxiliary to becoming top combat forces, an irresistible temptation for any Beastmaster.

But after Serena Martin searched for it, she found it’s an abandoned Divine Temple, with an extremely secluded location, and a not-so-high danger index.

Originally she wanted her grandfather’s help, and Elliot Pine initially agreed, but he seems to be busy with other things recently and couldn’t spare the time, so she had to give it a try herself.

At first, she intended to act alone, but she happened to run into Gary Smith. Overwhelmed by his absolute strength, combined with the recent rumors of conquering the Secret Realm, she was intrigued.

This is a perfect assistant!

Just like every Legendary Investigator always has a sidekick, it’s a perfect configuration.

Therefore, she wanted to drag Gary Smith out for an adventure and make him rich.

Upon hearing this, Gary Smith remained noncommittal on the surface, but he was indeed a bit tempted. After all, it’s a Divine Temple. Even though it has been abandoned, if there’s anything left that could help the Ancient Bookworm evolve, it means no one has touched anything inside.

There might be a complete treasure inside!

However, whether it’s actually dangerous or not, Serena Martin’s word doesn’t count, that’s just her side of the story. Gary Smith will send the Slave Beast and the Curse Crow to scout. If it’s not dangerous, he will explore further; if it’s dangerous...

He will knock Serena Martin out, drag her back, and hand her over to the School Headmaster for punishment.

He would indeed be saving her life that way.

Considering this, Gary Smith asked his final question:

"As a Mythology Scholar, you should have some understanding of these ancient deities, right? Who is the original master of this Divine Temple?"

And if it’s related to the Time System or the History Series, it’s probably not just a nobody.

Knowing ourselves and knowing the enemy allows us to win every battle.

"Although most of the outer wall of the Divine Temple has weathered and the corresponding marks can’t be seen, it doesn’t bother me, the future Legendary Investigator. I have successfully identified it and it’s most likely..."

Wisdom shone in Serena Martin’s eyes as she said with confidence:

"Ancient Shadow!"

"Oh... Ancient... Huh???"

Just as Gary Smith was about to nod, he suddenly froze with a shocked expression on his face.

Serena Martin thought he didn’t believe her and quickly explained:

"Do you remember last time, the abnormality caused by the Ancient Bookworm spying on history? After I went back and thought about it, I found many things that didn’t add up.

The thing I touched wasn’t the entire River of History, it was just a replay of the scenes from Peach Blossom Forest an hour ago, so why would it attract the arrival of the Ancient Shadow’s offsprings? I just couldn’t figure it out.

Until now, I finally understand. It turns out the Divine Temple of the Ancient Shadow exists beneath this land. Since there is something inside that can help the Ancient Bookworm evolve, it means the Ancient Bookworm and this Taboo Existence have some connection. Recently sensing the existence of the Divine Temple, it further validates my speculation.

Perhaps because of this association, during the previous time journey, I accidentally resonated with it, touching the slight time reflection it left behind, and that caused the disaster..."

Serena Martin’s analysis was logical and convincing. Had he not known the truth, Gary Smith would’ve almost believed it.

If he remembers correctly...

The Ancient Shadow was the one who spied on the past through the Ancient Bookworm, triggering the backlash of the Key of Truth. After Gary Smith deliberately leaked a bit of his presence, it turned into an anomaly that distorted time and the River of History.

He was not sure if Serena Martin reported it to the Alliance, and whether it had entered the Taboo archives.

In fact, just like the Collector, they were all different aliases of Gary Smith.

Archaeology of myself? Robbing my own temple?

What a hell of a joke!
