The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1362

Aside from that, there were also several depictions of massive birds and beasts, and nobody could tell whether they were drawn that way deliberately.

Continuing to scan through, Gerald soon saw a rather familiar image of a massive bat-like creature. Looking at it for a while, Gerald found himself thinking, ‘...I met something similar to that back in the mine where I saved Yume and obtained the water repellent stone, right…? A large bat with the head of a human… While I had first assumed that it was some bat demon that had undergone immense training, since it’s on this mural, it wouldn’t be out of the question for it to actually be some kind of ancient creature that survived till today… But… How could that even be possible…? There are simply too many peculiar things at play…’

Turning to look at Queena—who had been utterly fascinated by all the things in the cave for a while now—Gerald asked, “…Say, what kind of world is being depicted on the walls…? Could it actually be earth?”

Hearing Gerald’s question, she then replied, “Indeed. More specifically, it seems to be the legendary earth that existed millions of years ago! I learned about its existence from the data I got back when I was still in Jaellatra. Regardless, the paintings seem to depict a prehistoric civilization that once roamed the earth. If I had to name the exact civilization, I have a feeling that the murals are showing us what happened during the short-lived, but extremely glorious Shunzuog Civilization!”

After hearing what Queena had to say, Rosie’s jaw instantly dropped. Nobody could blame her. After all, what Queena had just said was naturally preposterous to a normal person. Gerald himself would’ve had the same reaction as Rosie had he not already experienced so much by this point.

Regardless, Gerald already knew that Earth had already seen plenty of civilizations come and go by this point. From what he had found out, there was once a civilization of peculiar and unique humans that predated the appearance of even the dinosaurs! While dragons existed during that age as well, that civilization was rather short-lived.

“…Could it be that this mural had been here ever since the age of the Shunzuog Civilization…?” muttered Gerald curiously.

“No ordinary mural could have remained intact for that long, that’s for sure. With that in mind, why not try using your Thunder essential qi. I wonder if anything will change…” suggested Queena, her eyes still locked on the paintings.

Knowing that Queena probably knew the most about all this, Gerald simply obeyed. Activating his Thunder essential qi, he slowly skimmed it across the painted walls…

Instantly gasping in surprise, Queena found herself exclaiming, “It… It’s changed! It really has changed! Look, Gerald! There are many more people and a lot more information on the mural now!”
