"I have searched through the kingdom’s library and found no record of this sixth true god."
"Or rather, whether such a divine being exists, no one can give a definitive answer."
"So say this is a position left by the five powerful true gods for other gods, hoping for more beings to appear that can stand alongside them."
"Others say this sixth true god is an imagination and hope of living creatures for the unknown, or perhaps it represents a hidden power."
"Of course, matters of the divine are simply beyond our mortal speculation..."
Cao Xing’s eyes flashed with contemplative color once again.
Through his conversation with Duke Baladin, his understanding of the world’s mysteries deepened.
In this world full of the unknown and challenges, there are too many enigmas.
Even such transcendent beings have unsolved mysteries.
Cao Xing also realized that his journey as a lord has just begun.
As he pondered, they had already passed through the church and arrived at a bright passage behind it.
Duke Baladin said, "Lord Cao Xing, please follow into the ceremonial path, and then you can proceed to the treasure vault."
Cao Xing nodded and then stepped into the passage.
They followed the bright passage, moving deeper.
On both sides of the passage were exquisite murals, the colors dim but still filled with a sense of majesty and solemnity.
They advanced along the passage, and after about two or three hundred ters, they finally reached the end of the passage.
A huge stone gate appeared ahead!
This stone gate was astonishingly large.
The height was roughly estimated to be at least nearly ten ters, and the width was five or six ters.
On each side of the stone gate stood statues of knights holding longswords and wearing war armor.
They were majestic, as if guarding the world behind the gate.
"We’ve arrived, Lord Cao Xing."
"Open the gate, and behind it is the forr king’s palace, where the kingdom’s treasures are kept."
"Or rather, the treasures collected by the king..."
Upon hearing this, Cao Xing’s eyes showed a look of anticipation again.
He asked, "How do I open it?"
Duke Baladin floated and then looked towards Robin, saying, "There are slots in the center of each door pane."
"Let this boy with royal bloodline place his hands on them; the slots will automatically detect your bloodline."
"Then, the door can be opened."
Hearing this, Robin glanced at Cao Xing, as if seeking his approval.
Cao Xing nodded, "Go ahead."
The boy took a deep breath, seemingly mustering courage.
He cautiously approached the door, reached out his hands, and placed them on the slots ntioned by Duke Baladin.
Monts later, Robin felt a sharp pain in his palms.
He said in shock, "There’s... there’s sothing pricking my fingers!"
"Lord Cao Xing!"
Duke Baladin said, "Don’t worry, it’s the door testing your bloodline; it’ll be over soon."
The young Robin listened and, suppressing his inner fear, continued to keep his hands on the door.
Sure enough, the pain subsided in a short while.
At the sa ti.
The huge stone gate began to move.
The gate slowly opened to both sides, gradually revealing a gap.
From the gap, intense light burst forth!
"Boom!"
The gate opened slowly.
However, the anticipated scene filled with treasures did not appear.
In front of everyone appeared a magnificent golden palace!
The first thing that caught the eye was a grand hall, with the towering do seeming to touch the sky.
The entire palace’s ceiling, walls, and those huge stone pillars were carved with various mysterious murals, exuding a sense of grandeur.
In the center of the palace stood a throne even more splendid and awe-inspiring than Cao Xing’s [Shining Throne]!
Cao Xing’s gaze fixated on the floor, pillars, and everything around.
Inwardly awestruck!
"Damn! These floors are actually made of Constant Gold; they’re ridiculously wealthy!"
"And those pillars, with so many Demon Pattern Stones on them."
"Even the curtains and screens seem to be made of unusual fabric..."
"Damn! Really wish I could dismantle this palace!"
Especially the throne, with gemstones bigger than the others, each no less than golden quality.
To Cao Xing, anything in this palace, even the floor tiles, is valuable.
If he could dismantle the entire palace.
Even without any kingdom treasure, it wouldn’t be a wasted trip!
Of course, Duke Baladin is still here.
This is the palace of the Ascraon people.
Doing such a thing in front of the duke is clearly inappropriate.
At this mont, Duke Baladin looked at the scene before him, his eyes showing a trace of reminiscence.
"Many years ago, His Majesty the King sat here giving us various orders."
"And we faithfully executed his commands, fighting for the kingdom’s glory."
"Under his governance, the kingdom thrived,"
"Unfortunately, in a mont of impulse, the king initiated that war, which then brought the Blood Legion upon us."
"In that war, we faced a crushing defeat..."
Cao Xing’s eyes showed a thoughtful expression.
Again with the Blood Legion?
From his understanding during this period, he roughly grasped so matters.
This continent once experienced two pivotal events.
Each pivotal event affected the fate of many nations and many races.
