Chapter 455: Opening the Pyramid
The next few days were quite calm, as there was no Remus movement, they were just standing as they stared at the three holes while holding the three sticks. The situation was this way, for they were waiting for a certain time to arrive, and according to their calculations, in two days, that moment would arrive.
Two days later, an incredible scene happened, an eclipse, happened in the Nine Worlds, but this was not an eclipse. This was a total eclipse, where all Nine Worlds would be in total darkness. This was the most mysterious day of the Nine Worlds, for no one knew what would happen on that dark day.
Looking at the scene before him, Liu Yang was not surprised by this, because he already knew that this would happen, because, in Zac's memories, he had seen it happen once. But it was different for Wan Yuzhu in his arms, she had never seen anything like it before. They were both naked and hugged while watching the pictures, they looked like a couple watching a movie after the activities.
...
As the moons began to stand in front of the suns, the Nine Worlds began to darken, and the Remnants finally made their move. They activated the three sticks at the same time, each of the poles shone a color, the Black King Bar shone a golden light, the Silver King Bar shone a silver light and the Brass King Bar a brown light.
Seconds later, the three sticks grew and went toward the holes, and it fitted perfectly. The pyramid began to shake and emit a majestic and powerful aura, a lot of energy of life began to be felt, the surrounding areas began to germinate trees, plants, and many other things.
Everyone was watching this scene shocked because they never imagined that the pyramid had so much power of life. This aroused even more greed from the ancestors, for that was what they wanted most, more time to live. But no one acted yet, for the Remnants were still in the process of opening the pyramid, and no one wanted anything to go wrong during the process.
Sometime later, the pyramid began to float towards the heavens, something shocking was seen, because the pyramid had another side that was buried in the ground. When the pyramid was fully revealed, it had the appearance of a gigantic stone prism.
A strange sound was heard, and in the middle of the prism began to open like a door, there were a total of six doors, one for each side. No one knew what was inside, but one thing everyone understood, whatever the inside of the pyramid had many treasures.
The Remnants were the first to enter after the door was opened, they were the first to run in along with the Soul Devouring Beasts. Next were the ancestors of the supreme clans and sects, and they were the other influential groups. After everyone had entered, the doors were closed, locking everyone in, this scared all those who entered, for they never imagined that would happen.
Now, they could only run through the pyramid in an attempt to find a way out. The inside of the pyramid was made of black stones that had the power to absorb the energies of people's bodies. This surprised everyone never imagined that there would be such a thing inside the pyramid.
While everyone was running as fast as possible to try to escape those corridors that absorbed the energies of their bodies. The images of the inside of the pyramid were shown as there were many people who were broadcasting the images to their respective clans and sects as a group of reporters.
Even though they were only images, the effects of the Eye of God still worked, Liu Yang was able to see many strange things through the corridors, it seemed like a huge maze.
The number of ancestors who entered was a small total of people in the place, and that was equivalent to almost twenty thousand people. While the rest were those still tens of thousands of years old, there were no people of the younger generation in the place, for they were useless at the time.
The weakest person on the scene was at level 700 and rank 7 while the strongest were at levels above 900 and rank 9. Someone from the younger generation of level 500 and rank 5 would just be an ant would be a waste of talented people by sending them to such a location.
The more they ran, the more energy people lost, everyone had to use pills, elixirs, and other things to replenish those losses. The further they ran, the greater the speed of the power drop. Their HPs, MPs, and Stamina were falling like water on a faucet. Every moment they had to ingest something.
But even after several hours running through the corridors, many could understand what was happening, they were inside a sort of circular labyrinth. Many realized that some of the Remnants and devouring beasts had already disappeared. This proved that they must have found their way out of the maze.
As time passed, fewer people were running in the labyrinth, those who were still running began to be worried because they did not want to be the last and receive no benefit.
To get out of the labyrinth was simple, whenever they ran in the corridors, some small openings would appear, as long as they inserted energies in those places. That person could leave.
Liu Yang was able to see these things with the power of the Eye of God.
...
In another place inside the pyramid ...
The place was a large square with green trees, short grass, and in the middle was a large fountain the size of an Olympic pool that was dry with a statue of a beautiful woman holding a jug. The people who were in the place were half of those who had managed to get out of the labyrinth was gathered on the spot. While the other half was somewhere else.
After everyone showed up, many started exploring the place but found nothing, there was no way out. The place looked like a dead-end prison.
Many have realized that there must be some kind of device that would take everyone out of this place. After some exploring, some realized that there were bloodstains on the fountain.
A thought arose in their minds, some began to cut off their own wrists and threw blood into the fountain. The fountain was being filled gradually, after several days, the fountain began to change, the statue began to pull the blood from the fountain and let go by the jug that was in the hands of the statue.
This scene surprised everyone, and the rest joined in this action because of the more people the better. Due to lots of people, the pool started to fill up faster. And the speed of blood flowing from the jar to the fountain got faster, that was like an infinite cycle. The statue tugged at the blood and let go of the jug, and the blood fell again into the pool.
After a week, many began to realize that there was something wrong with the pool and the statue. Because no matter how much blood was thrown in the pool, it never got full.
