The two of them walked on the rugged mountain road towards the temple. The temple looked very close to here, but it actually took the two of them a long time to walk. By the time they reached the gate of the temple, Alban's back was completely wet with sweat.

"Even if those villagers haven't changed their minds and still believe in the Perfect Ascended One as before, I guess no one would come to such a ghost place to worship a "god."" Alban, who was already panting and climbing the mountain, was dissatisfied. complained.

Looking at the few incense sticks in the incense burner in front of the door, they can tell that there are definitely only a few people who are still worshiping the perfect ascended person. Even if they have not seen it with their own eyes, they can guess how indifferent the "consecration" here is. .

Although Lan Zhirou didn't speak, the helpless look on her face could be regarded as her acquiescence to Alban's statement. Who would be a serious person who would climb such a high mountain just to worship a god without knowing whether it was a real god.

After entering the temple, Lan Zhirou saw the stone statue enshrined in the middle of the hall.

"It's no different from ordinary people." Lan Zhirou looked at the stone statue in front of her and chuckled. She originally thought that the so-called perfect ascended person would be different from ordinary people after transformation, but in the end, he still looked like ordinary people. He said, "That's fine. Doesn't it just prove that human beings are the greatest gods?"

"Aren't you afraid that the stone statue will come alive and punch you if you say such words here?" Alban said half-jokingly.

"It would be more appropriate for such a small stone statue to go to the temple below and give him the raven's seat." In order to match Alban's little joke, Lan Zhirou also said casually.

Lan Zhirou then patrolled around the interior of the temple and found a message left by an unknown person on a wall.

Below is the same painting that the previous person left a message about, a painting of a raven and a silver dove.

[I don’t know when it appeared. Maybe the legend left from Qingzhu Village for generations is true. 】

["It" lures every innocent person, allowing innocent people to enter Qingzhu Mountain and disappear into the real world forever. 】

[People affected by "its" creations constantly encounter a large number of things that affect their spirits. They may hear shouts that do not belong to this world, or they may see loved ones appearing out of nowhere. Most of these affected people are lost in it and become part of "it" story. 】

["It" is an existence that must be hidden in the reflection of the story and become stronger by playing with the people in the script. 】

["It" is the reflection itself. Facing "it", you are not only facing some indescribable existence, but also facing the darkest and most (obliterated writing) reflection in your heart. 】

"Does anyone already know the story about "drama"?" Looking at this confusing message, Lan Zhirou couldn't help but frowned, "Or should I say, the object that "it" refers to is different from what I thought. Is it different?"

[There are many amazing and extraordinary people among human beings. They have either found the right path by virtue of their extraordinary intelligence, or they have resisted its influence by relying on their extraordinary willpower, thus avoiding being completely reduced to The situation of the walking dead, but these people can only seek temporary peace for themselves. 】

[In the years that even I didn’t know about, there appeared a person who could truly be called a sage. After coming to Qingzhu Mountain, he broke through the fate intertwined in Qingzhu Mountain with his own strength and climbed to the top of the mountain. No one has ever climbed to the top of the mountain, and then became what the villagers call a perfect ascender. 】

[Due to the resistance he led the villagers, "it" was finally forced to fall into a long sleep. Its will was sealed in the mountain temple, while its body fell asleep under the ancient moon well. The villagers eventually called this perfect ascendant "god" and asked her to protect Qingzhu Village forever. 】

"The power of the first generation of perfect ascendants does not come from the ancient gods themselves?"

Lan Zhirou looked at the words carved on the wall and couldn't help but be startled. There seemed to be some small problems with her reasoning.

"It seems that this should be the most correct timeline. It is the ancient god who is sleeping under the ancient moon well. This is also the origin of the real red moon falling into the well." After analyzing it for a while to herself, a new Doubts appeared in her heart again, "But...if the power of the first generation of perfect ascendants did not come from the ancient gods, then why did the ancient gods finally control the situation?"

With this question in mind, Lan Zhirou continued to look at the next content on the wall.

[The first generation of perfect ascenders suppressed its creation and itself, and also lived in Qingzhu Mountain for a long time. According to legend, the perfect ascenders needed the villagers to worship her to gain power to maintain control of "it", so The villagers of Qingzhu Village also built a temple at the place where the Perfect Ascension One sealed it, so that the Perfect Ascension One could enjoy the incense forever. 】

【There is a way of saying that destiny is in the hands of man...but the sky is endless. 】

["It" is really like the way of heaven. The way of heaven is endless, and the lifespan of a perfectly ascended person is limited. Decades later, the youth of the perfectly ascended person was gone, and she soon left Qingzhu Village forever. Because of this, although "it" did not wake up, the influence of "it" has once again spread across Qingzhu Village. The sounds that don't belong to this world, the reflections that don't belong to this world, once again turned into dark clouds and enveloped Qingzhu Mountain. 】

[The second generation of perfect ascenders is not like the first generation of perfect ascenders. Two months after the influence of "it" appeared again, he also climbed to the top of the mountain with his own ability, but he did not look like him because of it. The hero of the past also gained divine power, and his will was far inferior to that of the former hero, but it was undeniable that his "intelligence" was definitely far better than hers. 】

[He spent three months analyzing and understanding it that was sealed in the temple, and then...stealed the power of "it" and became a god again in the place where the former hero became a god, becoming the second generation The perfect ascendant. Because they have the same origin as "it", those things that do not belong to this world are no longer afraid of him and suppressed by him, but instead surrender to him and help him solve all the problems in Qingzhu Mountain. 】

"I guess...? Are you really the Painted Skin Cult?" Lan Zhirou has already guessed what happened next. This is very similar to the Painted Skin Cult in a certain game. The second generation of perfect ascenders can control the power of the ancient gods, but It does not mean that the next perfect ascendant will be able to do it.

The leader of the Painted Skin Cult has used the Perfect Painted Skin to ascend, but that does not mean that all members of the Painted Skin Cult can do the same.

You can ≠ He can.

Lan Zhirou felt that there were at most two possibilities for the following story.

The following story is either that the second generation of perfect ascenders passed down the method and waited for the next person with a strong will to climb to the top of the mountain, but later people simply couldn't command this power like an arm.

Either the people behind him got lost and the ancient god escaped, and the people after him changed from stealing power to trading with the ancient god.
