Chapter 1272 Create your own future (8)
The alien creatures depicted on the top of the stone pillar are Nag and Jebu among the Old Dominators, also known as the 'blasphemous twins'.
They are the direct descendants of the outer gods "Shub Nicholas" and "Yog-Sothoth", with lofty status and eternal godhead.
If we talk about human blood...
The status of Nag and Jebu is roughly equivalent to the third generation of gods, just like the three Zeus brothers after Titan and Cronus in Greek mythology.
"I'm actually sacrificing them..."
Lord frowned and walked around the stone pillar to the back, where he saw more alien shapes, lifelike and carved on the surface of the stone pillar.
The special shapes carved on the entire stone pillar are of strict status and hierarchy, with Nag and Yebu being the highest, and the second ones extending downward.
After knowing about the blasphemy of the twins, looking back, I can actually roughly guess how many of the alien creatures are depicted on the stone pillars from top to bottom.
The twisted octopus under Nag should be the famous Old One ruler Cthulhu whom we saw in the underwater temple before.
"Oh, I'm an acquaintance."
Lord pursed his lips slightly and smiled.
Look further down, after Cthulhu.
What's interesting is that the third-level aliens on the stone pillars have their images erased, leaving only messy knife scratches.
It seems that for some special reason, this old ruler was wiped from the stone pillars by the ghouls and was no longer worshiped.
The one on the fourth level is a huge ghoul with a clearer image and appearance. It uses blood as paint and has been specially refined.
In addition, there is an ancient text carved at the bottom.
However, most of the text was obscured by black blood clots that had dried and solidified, so it was not very clear.
Lord reached out and wiped away the solidified and dried black blood on the stone pillar, and the ancient text came into his eyes completely.
"Yugashi, the father of the ghouls, is here to offer his sweet flesh and blood to the great Father God and guard the City of Thousand Pillars forever."
He read out this ancient text word for word, and at the same time he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, showing a surprised expression.
"The City of Thousand Pillars...could it be Erem?"
Lord's heart moved slightly, with a bit of confusion in his eyes, and he said to himself: "But Erem, isn't it in the Arabian Peninsula?"
Erem, the City of Thousand Pillars, is a legendary city with an extremely glorious past. It was once the most prosperous trading city at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula and was known as the City of Gold. However, current archeology has been unable to prove its existence. .
But in fact, Erem is real, and it is located at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, in a deep red desert.
Moreover, Erem, the City of Thousand Pillars, is also a sacred place where priests worship the old rulers, Nag and Jebu.
This was exactly what puzzled him.
How could an ancient city in the deep red desert at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula appear on the stone pillars of a ghoul tribe near the equator?
And...Yugashi, the Father of Ghouls.
According to the memory of his previous life, the ghoul's father should not be Yugashi, and who is the one whom Yugashi calls 'Father God'?
For a time, countless questions came to my mind.
With countless questions, Lord took a deep breath and murmured to himself: "It seems that to solve these mysteries, we must go to the broken valley."
Maybe the answer can be given to him there.
After making up his mind, Lord no longer hesitated and walked straight towards the broken valley.
Anyway, in the ghoul tribe, apart from these stone pillars, all that was left were the eaten remains, and there was no other useful information.
From the ghoul tribe, you can just see the broken valley.
It was a black mountain range with rugged rocks and knife-like peaks. It was shrouded in the depths of inexplicable fog all day long, like a huge monster crawling on the boundless land, watching the world faintly.
It is called the ‘Broken Valley’ because there is a huge crack in the middle of the entire mountain range.
Looking from here, it looks like someone has cut it open with a knife.
As the saying goes, if you look up the mountain, you will run to death.
Although it seems very close, the actual distance is not at all, and you need to cross a swamp forest on the way. There are countless mosquitoes, ants, and beasts, and there are even poisonous fog and miasma as natural barriers.
It can basically be concluded that humans will never be able to cross the swamp forest and reach the mysterious black mountain range.
The existence of miasma can block electromagnetic waves and cause electronic equipment to malfunction, so modern technology is useless here. It is completely another Bermuda Triangle, even worse.
Based on human physical strength and fitness alone, traveling through this swampy forest is tantamount to courting death.
"Made, why are there swamps at the equator?!"
Lord was speechless. This forest simply went against common sense.
Although the swamp forest couldn't stop him, the smell of this poor place was too strong. It was like canned herring mixed with stinky tofu, plus snake grass water and Scottish beef offal. After stewing for seventy-seven and forty-nine days, The smell of rot again.
In short, people can die violently if they smell it.
Lord didn't want to stay here for a long time. If he got pickled, he would be embarrassed.
Layers of spiritual pressure vortexes gathered on the soles of the feet, and then a loud thundering sound suddenly erupted.
boom!
Large areas of forest and swamp mud were blown away by the strong wind and waves.
Lord rode the wind and came directly to the top of the miasma, dragging vast air waves behind him, like a meteor streaking across the sky, approaching the black mountain range.
The mist shrouding the black mountains seemed to sense the intruder and surged toward him like a living creature.
"It's interesting. Is it a defense mechanism?" Lord observed it with his omniscience and omnipotence and discovered the true form of the mist.
Among the invisible particles that form the mist are countless objects that look like bacterial spores. Once completely surrounded, they will directly invade the human body, then quickly take root, sprout and reproduce, infecting the living thing into something different.
Just as countless bacterial spores planned to turn Lord into the next victim.
However, he saw that a powerful spiritual pressure surged like a sea wave, setting off ripples of strong wind in the high altitude, like a ruthless crusher, wiping out the bacterial spores that tried to get close.
After forcing his way through the strange fog, Lord finally saw the complete black mountain range.
Unlike through the fog, when you really see it, you can feel the breath of the mountains, the heavy, oppressive, terrifying, weird, twisted, crazy atmosphere, and the trembling from the depths of your soul.
Lord slowly descended, approaching the black mountains little by little.
Then, he saw a magnificent ancient city in the huge rift valley in the mountain peak. The mottled traces left by the rain and wind, and the weeping wind in the mountain peak seemed to be telling their ancient history.
The towering spiers and the maze-like huge corridors are all top-notch architectural art that surpasses human beings.
"City of a Thousand Pillars... Erem!"
Lord looked at the city and murmured its name.
