Alex was astonished.
On the other hand, Holly was even more dumbfounded. Holding Alex’s hand tightly, she asked in a low voice, “Bro, what is this place? Have you been here before? Why do these people look so strange?”
“Are they all tombstones inside? Could it be that the ones talking to us are dead people?”
Alex said, “Those are indeed tombstones, but they are probably not dead people. Instead, they are dead gods… This place is known as the Pantheon Tomb. The ones buried in this place are all gods who died in the dawn of time.”
“Huh..? The dead gods from the dawn of time?”
It was Holly’s first time hearing about those matters. She was going to be baffled at that time.
Consequently, the Primal Old Devil then said, “Wrong… We aren’t gods that died in the dawn of time.”
Alex was startled for a moment. “Wasn’t it the dawn of time? Is it the Archaic period then?”
The Primal Old Devil said, “You are wrong again.”
“What was that era?”
“The era is correct, but what you are wrong about is that we aren’t dead gods. We are all living gods.”
Noticing that the Primal Old Devil did not speak ferociously, Holly became slightly bolder and asked, “How can all of you not be dead when you are buried in this tomb? Only your souls are alive now, right?”
The Primal Old Devil laughed heartin as he said, “Human girl, do you want to touch my toes? You will find out whether I am a soul or possess a physical body.”
As the Primal Old Devil spoke, he placed his huge foot in front of Holly.
Holly retreated while pinching her nose. “It stinks!”
A smell was present, indicating that he was not purely a soul
Alex asked, “You just said that you aren’t dead yet. What does that mean? Did you bury yourselves in the tomb and find it was cool inside?”
A voice that sounded like a young man came from a tombstone. “We certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to bury ourselves in the tomb. Someone sealed all of us in this place to become someone else’s sacrificial offerings.”
Alex looked in the direction of the gate. The Pantheon Tomb was enormous and very tall. The gate was also a towering existence. The width of the two frames reached several hundred meters, not to mention the height. Every building in this place reflected the concept of majesty.
Holly said, “I’ll walk out and take a look.”
She seemed shocked.
The gate was not closed at all. It seemed to be a desert outside, where she could clearly see the sand and desert with varying elevations in the distance. A sandstorm even existed. However, just as she was about to step out of the gate with one foot…
A mighty intangible force blocked her body. It seemed to be an extremely sturdy, invisible wall.
Holly shouted at Alex, “Bro, I really can’t get out!”
As she said that, she slammed her fist down.
Countless exclamations were heard behind her. “Don’t smash it!”
