    Chapter 348: Ruins Stone Gate

    The long and narrow lava channel slanted straight into the ground. After passing through a narrow crack that could only accommodate one person, the scenery in front of Yi Lexiang suddenly became clear.  This is a dilapidated ancient city that has been dormant underground for who knows how many years. Even though the hot lava rising from the ground has destroyed most of the ancient city, and even though the years have ruthlessly wiped away its former glory, Yi Lexiang still remains.  The majestic appearance of the underground ancient city can be vaguely seen from the remaining ruins.

    The high lava roof almost reaches the limit of sight, and the air is filled with hot red steam. A long city wall is built along the winding and rugged lava wall. At this time, most of the city wall has collapsed and is incomplete;  A pyramid-like castle stands in the center of the city wall; the high and low buildings surrounding the castle are either half-sunk in the flowing lava, or cracked and twisted. The entire underground building is like an intricate stone giant.  Trees grow underground.  Yi Lexiang leaned down to pick up a fallen brick from the city wall. The once indestructible brick turned into gravel and fell from between him, as if telling the ruthless tempering he had experienced over the years.

    He walked along the road that had long been unrecognizable and had been destroyed by time and harsh heat, carefully avoiding the bubbling lava and heading towards the ancient castle at the core.  He could feel a stronger call calling him from the depths of the castle.  He was both excited and worried, not knowing what was waiting for him there.  But the curiosity in his heart was far greater than the fear in his heart. This spirit of exploring the unknown drove him to approach the castle step by step.

    Various exquisite sculptures can be seen on the buildings and walls that have not yet collapsed and scattered. There are people, animals, and various legendary creatures in myths. Exquisite and detailed patterns can be seen everywhere, which makes people marvel at the people who built the castle back then.  What kind of hard work and price the builders paid to build such an incredible city underground.  The original stone used in the construction was some kind of cyan granite that had been blessed by divine magic. This was a common construction technique used by temples, as if this was the only way to reflect their supreme loyalty to the gods.  However, Yi Lexiangbi did not find the existence of this kind of stone in the cave. He boldly speculated that this kind of stone was brought in from the outside world. Thinking of the long and narrow corridor he just walked through, he couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue.  If his speculation is correct, then the amount and difficulty of building the ancient city may be far beyond imagination.  Judging from the degree of weathering of the rocks, the castle was probably built in the early days of interstellar development, or even earlier. For people of that era, such a building was probably a miracle.

    There is no doubt that this is a building built by humans.  This discovery only confused Yi Lexiang even more.  If this place was really built by humans and not some other creature, then how did they get here.  Planet Gesar is one of the eight bright stars in the "Miraculous Halo". If the historical data in his mind are not wrong, the time when the Holy Alliance discovered the "Miraculous Star" and the "Miraculous Halo" has not yet happened.  Less than a thousand years later, it was only after the First Star War that the Holy Alliance was truly developed and founded.  But judging from the traces left on the ground, it seems that it was built at least a thousand years ago, far longer than the founding of the Divine Alliance.

    Although the architectural style of the Shenmeng can be vaguely seen in the decoration of the building, even people who do not understand any architectural concepts can see that this place is only similar to the Shenmeng, and is not designed and built by the same architects.  In other words, the Divine Alliance only inherited part of it.  The relationship between the two may be of the same origin, but the history here is much longer than the temple building above the ground.  Moreover, it is not as overbearing as the Shenmeng buildings, and is luxurious and luxurious. Instead, it has its own peace and tolerance.

    Yi Lexiang passed through the city gate and climbed up the high city wall avenue. The golden ground that was originally poured with unknown dye has turned into a thick layer of dust. When you step on it, the dust will be raised and a series of deep traces will be left behind.  sunken footprints.  The city wall is a hundred feet high. Standing on the high city wall, you can overlook the center of the city, with red smoke covering everything.  A stone bridge with gates on both sides built from the city wall connects the middle part of the city wall with the towering pyramid castle. It is like a bridge in the sky across the sky. The bridge deck is about 30 meters wide and there is no support at the bottom.  It¡¯s hard to imagine what kind of construction techniques the builders used to make such a wide and majestic sky bridge still standing after thousands of years.  Looking from a distance, behind the hazy red on the left and right sides, you can vaguely see two other stone bridges of the same style.  The directions of the stone bridge correspond to the east, south, and north respectively. Under the stone bridge is a solid city gate. There must be a similar stone bridge on the back of the tall pyramid, which corresponds to the four directions of east, west, south, and north.  , Yi Lexiang secretly made a judgment.

    With dust rising all the way, Yi Lexiang walked on the flat but dusty bridge for twenty minutes before finally reaching the middle level of the pyramid castle.  Along the way, you can see the vicissitudes of life, and the traces of time are best preserved here.  However, the call became more and more intense.The excitement became so intense that Yi Lexiang, who was so restless after walking into the hollow pyramid hall, did not even have any memory of the scenery he saw on the road.

    If the ancient city outside can be called a miracle, then this temple, which is completely hollow from the bottom up and is hundreds of meters high, is a miracle among miracles.  Although the outer wall of the tilted giant stone gate, which is more than ten meters high, has been severely weathered for thousands of years, it has not suffered much damage. Even Yi Lexiang slowly moved upwards with a gentle push.  Walking into the interior of the pyramid, Yi Lexiang's eyes caught the poetic record composed of huge golden murals and reliefs along the bottom.  The closed boulder door seemed to shut out the hot air and time outside the pyramid.

    The splendid murals record a tragic war. Strange creatures that Yi Lexiang has never seen fall from the sky, while on the ground are human warriors wearing helmets and armor. They are brave with long swords and various primitive weapons in their hands.  Waving towards the sky, the battle extended from the ground to the sky. Gods emitting golden light, angels with wings, and some humans soaring high in the sky jointly fought against enemies from the sky.  It took Yi Lexiang several hours to look at this epic painting that covered the entire inner wall of the pyramid. What was puzzling was that the mural did not record the outcome of the battle.  After reading it, Yi Lexiang was silent for a long time. Ancient legacy often hides secrets unknown to the world and is passed down to the world along with various ancient legends.  But what this mural records is a story he has never heard of.  The Divine Alliance and the gods they believe in have always been regarded as enemies in Yi Lexiang's heart. Although this is just a subconscious hostility, he even has doubts about whether those gods really exist or have existed.  But as a human being, no matter how different he is, he can't help but regard those gods as beings that enslave and deceive mankind, and the temple is the tool and spokesperson of their rule.  But the ancient records depicted on the murals showed him a completely different world.  In ancient times, gods and humans seemed to have been allies in a common battle against enemies from the sky.  Could it be that what is depicted on this mural is just propaganda to fool the people?  Just a lie made up to make people believe in God?  He couldn't help but wonder to himself.  But this seems illogical!  No one would spend so much money to build an unknown temple buried deep underground and not let his followers know about it.  He had never seen similar records from the Divine Alliance or historical records.  If these were recorded to make people more devout in their belief in the Supreme God, then these murals should have been painted all over the temples of the Holy Alliance.  But it seems that the temple knows nothing about it and has never publicized the story of gods and humans fighting against enemies.  This place is not like a temple where believers make pilgrimages, but more like a temple where sacred records are recorded.

    Yi Lexiang was suspended in mid-air and looked around. The ancient murals were so grand and vast that it was impossible for ordinary people standing on the ground to see clearly what the murals depicted. Only mental mutants who could cast supernatural powers and secret techniques could  Only then can you get a complete glimpse of the entire mural.  This is even more unexplainable. The temple would never spend so much energy to build a place that the world cannot worship.

    Except for this huge mural painted on the inner wall, the interior of the spacious pyramid is empty.  The only eye-catching thing in the center of the hall is a golden stone door.  It is said to be a stone gate, but it is actually just a stone gate-like building composed of arched semi-circular arch columns.  Compared with the magnificent interior of the pyramid, the arched stone door seems a bit inconspicuous.  The arches that make up the stone door are brightly colored and shimmer with golden light, but the material seems to be uncarved and frosted stone pillars.  The decoration on the inner wall is exquisite and gorgeous, as smooth as a mirror. Such a rough stone door seems out of place in the empty space, which is really dazzling.  However, if you look closely, you can see that it has a simple beauty.  It was only then that Yi Lexiang, who was attracted by the magnificent murals, discovered that the faint call came not from the pyramid but from the simple stone door in the center of the square on the ground inside the pyramid.

    He slowly landed on the ground, and the smooth ground gave him a solid feeling.  The closer we get to the ancient stone gate, the stronger the feeling of calling becomes.  Yi Lexiang's heart was pounding. This kind of tension had never happened since he left Anokhi and saw the greatest creature in the universe.  Even at the moment when the battle was at its most out of control, it had never happened before.  Nervousness and excitement brought trembling, and an indescribable feeling emerged from the bottom of his heart. In anticipation and anxiety, he slowly placed his hands on the pillars of the stone gate.
