These bones were here recently. Perhaps only several thousands years ago. These people were lowkey supremes and never appeared to the public yet who would have thought that they'd be tempted by this grotto despite the extreme dangers it had?
Emperor Randies was only here because he had Jin Rou. Would he even dare to enter this place again after almost dying here in the past? He didn't have that much guts to do so. However, it was different if you're with a powerful law like Jin Rou who was able to kill three laws at the same time.
As they walked deeper, the feeling and creepiness was getting heavier and thicker. It was like even oxygen didn't dare to linger here all of the time.
"This place is still cursed as ever." Emperor Randies shuddered, "Why would that God King place his legacy here of all places? I can't understand how that fellow's mind work."
"Because he didn't want his legacy to be taken, in the first place." Jin Rou answered, "All along, he had no wishes of passing his legacy to anyone."
"How do you say so, Your Majesty?" The emperor was confused and asked. The way Jin Rou spoke was filled with confidence. It was like he really understood and knew God King down to his bones.
"Hmm, I just felt it so." Jin Rou chuckled and didn't explain further. But it was true that it was just his gut feeling and all.
Knowing that he couldn't get answers from Jin Rou, the emperor dropped the topic with a sigh.
The trio were walking for an hour now, however they couldn't still find the grotto of this place. Emperor Randies had expected this and explained, "Your Majesty, this grotto is an actual living treasure, a heaven and earth dynasty-level of creation. It is believed that it was created by the strongest god ever existed in this world, the Creator. The grotto itself is quite cunning and knows how to hide well. In the past, I and the ancestor need three days without sleep to locate it."
"I see." Jin Rou expressed that he understood. So that was the reason why the grotto wasn't yet appearing. It's because it could choose not to. However, how could Jin Rou let a mere living grotto be arrogant in front of him?
He stepped forward and signaled the two to stop from their tracks. Then, Jin Rou pulled out a sword with black color. He got this from God King and it's perfect for him so he decided to keep it, "Grotto or whatever, if you still refuse to show yourself after this warning, would you dare to believe me that I am confident in destroying this place of yours?"
It was a calm yet arrogant tone. The arrogance in Jin Rou's words were enough to make old people puke blood. He just outright threatened the Abandoned Grotto! The emperor's mouth was wide agaped. This was the first time someone actually issued such overflowing arrogance in front of this place. Not even Violet Cloud could do this!
Jin Rou sneered after hearing no response, "Then be it. It looks like you aren't going to respond unless I make a mess of this place."
"Whoosh!" Jin Rou collected an enormous amount of lightning energy. The whole place trembled as the dead trees and bones flew above in all directions. It was like a huge calamity was about to descend in this place.
Next, a black energy covered the entire blade of Jin Rou's treasure. It contained the power of the realms and could ravage the entire place. Jin Rou was planning to use this to half the place and make the grotto learn that he doesn't pull jokes.
And just when Jin Rou was about to slash it downwards, a vast cave suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It had many damage markings on it yet it showed how sturdy it was. Thousand of scribbles could be seen but it was an unfamiliar language to the people.
This time, it was Athena's turn to be surprised. The grotto actually gave in and showed itself! Did that mean that Jin Rou's slash a while ago truly contained the power to half this place?
Emperor Randies smiled wryly. Perhaps only His Majesty could pull this. To actually think that the arrogant grotto was knocked some sense into it. Maybe not even God King managed to do this.
Well, it was the truth. God King himself spent countless efforts just to save his legacy here. He had to deal with grotto several times just to earn its bit of kindness. It was also the reason why this place was dangerous. Because the grotto itself was the enemy!
"Oh? You have realized something now?" Jin Rou chuckled. He lowered his blade and said, "Then we can finally talk, perhaps?"
"Child, what do you want?" A deep voice echoed their ears which made the emperor and the coffin treasure jump from surprise.
They looked at the grotto and were horrified. This thing actually talked! Even for the emperor, this was the first time that he heard its voice.
"Hmm, nothing extravagant. God King told me that his legacy is here so I'm here to take it by his permission." Jin Rou was casually speaking like he was talking to a random stranger.
"Oh? You are already powerful enough with two laws in your body, yet you want another one? Aren't you being a bit too greedy here?" The deep voice spoke again, "You should be aware that two legacies are already hard enough to maintain, if you add another one, you'll just end your life early."
"I have my methods, you see. I don't dare to do anything without confidence to back it up." Jin Rou smirked, "And you are a treasure of the Creator, you must have already known the extent of my capabilities."
The grotto didn't say something. Silence ensued the entire place as Jin Rou was waiting patiently. He knew that he couldn't rush it or else the grotto might just die with this place without hesitation.. After all, it already served its purpose in the past and was now abandoned.
