Chapter 1069: The Lost Temple
Ice Storm's explanation confirmed Meng Chao's deduction.
The so-called "temple" should be some sort of civilization legacy left behind by the ancient Turan people for their descendants.
Perhaps, the ancient Turan people who had once created a brilliant civilization had already foreseen that their descendants would gradually decline.
After all, the erosion of the river of time was too terrifying, and the Other World was a place where countless powerful existences lay dormant.
Even if the Turan civilization once dominated a region, it was hard to guarantee that their civilization would not degenerate or even collapse one day.
Every temple was like a "civilization seed."
Even if the entire civilization was destroyed, the descendants would degenerate into the era of the bloodthirsty clan due to various reasons.
As long as the "civilization seed" was not completely destroyed.
There was a possibility for it to rise again.
Of course, the current advanced orcs did not seem to fully understand the painstaking efforts of their ancestors.
They only treated the temple as a place of wors.h.i.+p and sacrifice.
They thought that simply being brave and fierce would please their ancestors.
They did not think of unlocking and inheriting the superb technology hidden in the depths of the temple.
This could not be denied. It was a very regrettable thing.
Thinking of this, Meng Chao looked at the map of the entire Turan temple above his head. His gaze became deeper and filled with curiosity.
"What is that?"
At this moment, he realized that in the center of the map, there was a star with the largest halo and the most gorgeous radiance. It was surrounded by dark red electric arcs, as if it was entangled by chains.
He had a vague feeling.
The radiance of this star should be much more than that.
"That is the Turan people's most famous Holy Mountain Temple."
Ice Storm told Meng Chao, "On this map of the temple, you can see two different forms of starlight. One is like the coordinates of Blood Skull Temple, s.h.i.+ning and pure.
"This means that Blood Skull Temple has been opened by someone. It has been wors.h.i.+ped by the blood descendants of Turan all year round. Around the temple, powerful settlements, families, clans, and prosperous towns have been built.
"However, some of the temples have a slightly dimmer color and are surrounded by dark red arcs of light. This means that these temples are still sealed in the river of time. No one has been able to find and open them to inherit the power inside
"Is that so? How could this be?"
Meng Chao was puzzled. "Since the temples contain powerful totem power, there might be a large number of divine weapons from tens of millions of years ago. The Turan Warriors, who are obsessed with chasing after power, should do everything they can to open all the temples at all costs.".
"The coordinates of these temples are clearly marked on the map. Why don't the ambitious Turan warriors follow the map and search for these temples?"
"Of course, the warriors of Turan want to find all the temples, but things are not as simple as you think."
Ice Storm said, "Although the coordinates of all the temples are clearly marked on the map, this map is too small after all. A bit of starlight on the map, when projected into the real world, is very likely to cover an area of a hundred miles.
"And the sealed temples are usually not directly standing on the ground so that people can see them at a glance. Instead, they are hiding behind various abysses, caves, and even waterfalls.
"In fact, some very ancient temples do not simply hide in underground caves or behind waterfalls when they are in danger. Instead, they simply disappear from this world in an inconceivable way. They must learn the corresponding method to open it so that it can return to this world.
"If not for that, the army of Holy Light would have found and destroyed all the temples in Picturesque Orchid Lake long ago during the period of the great extermination order. Do you think that the human race of Holy Light doesn't know how to dig three feet into the ground and eliminate the root of the problem? After all, their most loyal allies are the dwarfs who live underground and are best at digging and mining!
"This method has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that most of the temples have been preserved since tens of thousands of years ago and have not been discovered by the enemy.
"The disadvantage is that many heroic epics that recorded the opening methods of the temples were destroyed by the flames of war. Even the high-level orcs today do not know the emergence and opening methods of many temples!
"One to two thousand years after the great extinction order, the Turan people gradually recovered their vitality. The five great clans sent a large number of adventurers and exploration teams to the desolate land where no one visited to search for these 'lost temples.'
"Some of them were indeed found by them, and they established new strongholds around the temples and expanded the territory of the clans.
"However, after such a dragnet-like search, the temples that have yet to surface will probably have a hard time reappearing in the human world in the next few hundred years.
"The Holy Mountain Temple that you mentioned just now is one of them.
"In the records of the heroic epic, it is not only the largest and highest-sized temple among all the 'lost temples.'
"It is even the most ancient and n.o.ble temple among all the temples in Turan.
"The ancestral spirits enshrined in Holy Mountain Temple were not the ancestral spirits of any of the five clans, but the most ancient ancestral spirits shared by all the Turan people.
"It's the most sacred place that belongs to all the Turan people.
"According to the records of the heroic epic, Song of Turan, which had the longest history, only the bravest, most fearless, heroic spirits who sacrificed themselves in the most spectacular way on the battlefield were qualified to ascend the Holy Mountain and enter Holy Mountain Temple to enjoy the fun of eternal battles and the sacrifices of all the Turan people.
"Holy Mountain Temple was like the heart of all the Turan people. During the great extermination order, there was naturally an unstoppable army of Holy Light. They did everything they could to destroy it.
"In the end, when the army of Holy Light paid a terrible price and finally attacked the Turan people's Holy Mountain, countless fanatical believers raised their wings of light and tried to burn their lives to summon the supreme light energy from the sky to destroy Holy Mountain Temple. However, the most important temple of the Turan people vanished in front of them.
"The army of Holy Light suffered great losses and returned empty-handed. They could only withdraw from Picturesque Orchid Lake resentfully.
"The Turan people barely escaped the catastrophe of the great annihilation token, but the price they paid was that no one saw the true face of Holy Mountain Temple for three thousand years.
"Even now, the priests, chiefs, and warriors of the five clans still yearn to find the lost temple that was so important to the Turan.
"Countless newborn calves entered the holy mountain with great ambitions.
"But if they had not gone and never returned, they would have disappeared into the abyss, the fog, the caves, and the stomachs of the totem beasts in the depths of the holy mountain forever.
"Or, they would have staggered back to the foot of the holy mountain in the form of Origin Warriors and forgotten what they had experienced in the holy mountain.
"As a result, the warriors of Turan guessed that the holy mountain was where the ancestral spirits were sleeping. If they were too weak to disturb the ancestral spirits' sleep, they would be regarded as too frivolous and reckless by the ancestral spirits, and they would be cursed by the ancestral spirits.
"Some people thought that the holy mountain, which was full of dangers and abnormal phenomena, was the first test that Holy Mountain Temple had set for the warriors of Turan.
"If we can't even pa.s.s the test, how can we find and enter Holy Mountain Temple to unlock and inherit the oldest, strongest, and most violent power
"I see... Holy Mountain Temple..."
Meng Chao repeated the name repeatedly.
Deep inside his brain, it seemed that a red-hot steel needle was stirring his brain repeatedly, stirring up his long-forgotten memories from his previous life.
He had always found the name "Holy Mountain Temple" to be very familiar. He seemed to have heard it more than once in his previous life, and it was inextricably linked to the war between the worlds that destroyed Dragon City.
Under what circ.u.mstances had he heard it? 'D*mn it, hurry up and remember!'
Meng Chao rubbed his glabella heavily, his expression slightly malevolent.
"Reaper, what's wrong with you?"
Ice Storm sensed that Meng Chao's brain was heating up rapidly. It felt as if his brain was about to turn into lava and spew out like a volcano.
She thought that Meng Chao had not completely controlled the Skull Crushers and was showing signs of transforming into an Origin Warrior.
In shock, she hurriedly waved her hand and shot out an ice mist, trying to cool down Meng Chao's brain.
The chill seeped into his brain through the crack in his skull, causing Meng Chao to s.h.i.+ver.
He remembered!
At the moment, Holy Mountain Temple, which was crucial to the advanced orcs, was indeed still sealed in an unknown fog.
However, when the Dragon City civilization rushed out of Monster Mountain Range in his previous life and formed an alliance with the Turan civilization, Holy Mountain Temple had already been discovered and unlocked!
The one who discovered Holy Mountain Temple was none other than the future overlord of Turan, who was about to command tens of millions of orc warriors in the longest and most glorious era. He was known as the greatest war chief in the past three thousand years, "Jackal" Ka.n.u.s, who had single-handedly dragged the Turan civilization and the Dragon City Civilization into the abyss of destruction!
To be more precise, it was because of the achievements of discovering Holy Mountain Temple and obtaining the ancient inheritance of the temple of the Holy Mountain that Ka.n.u.s was able to transform from a "Corpse-eating dog" into a Doomsday Wolf. He suppressed many experts of the Lion Clan and the Tiger Clan and became the first war chief in the history of the Wolf Clan who could command the entire Picturesque Orchid Lake!
"That's right. In the past life, the heroic epic of 'Jackal' Ka.n.u.s was spread everywhere. It vividly described how, with his supreme wisdom and courage, he cleared the countless dangers on the Holy Mountain and received the blessings of the most ancient ancestral spirits, becoming the biggest winner of the Tournament of the Five Clans!
"Although the heroic epics certainly had the element of being exaggerated and praised.
"However, the discovery of Holy Mountain Temple by 'Jackal' Ka.n.u.s was a 'fact' that was about to happen in the near future.
"This achievement gave Ka.n.u.s unparalleled power and unparalleled prestige.
"It also convinced all the Turan people that the power of the ancestral spirits had completely recovered from the extermination order 3,000 years ago. They were about to lead all the warriors of Turan to wash away the humiliation and hatred of 3,000 years in blood.
"Therefore, when 'Jackal' Ka.n.u.s did everything he could to march northward and start a war in the Other World, the advanced orcs would be filled with blind and fanatical faith in the inevitable victory. That was why the flames of war were ignited to the extreme in the moment of the war and could not be stopped."
