482: Chapter 482 Father and Daughter 482: Chapter 482 Father and Daughter “Haha, then it seems my luck really isn’t that great.
Among those clothes, only this piece fits sowhat; I didn’t expect he even wrote his na on it.
That was careless of .” Sally stood there with a cold laugh, her tone self-deprecating, but more so mocking of Ye Shikai.
“You’re not from the Underworld, you’re not even from this era.” Ye Shikai’s startling statent ca as he stared resolutely at Sally.
“Just now I discovered this symbol on the sarcophagus, and it’s exactly the sa as the one tattooed on your arm.
Moreover, this symbol is ubiquitous throughout the entire tomb,” said Ye Shikai, his eyes full of shock, as he arrived at a rather astonishing conclusion.
“You’re not from this era at all; you’re an ancient Atlantean,” Ye Shikai stated severely.
“Haha, Hades, have you lost your mind?
If I were an ancient person, how could I possibly live this long?” Sally couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter upon hearing this.
“Yes, according to historical records, since the disappearance of Atlantis, it has been tens of thousands of years already; normal people would have long since died.” Ye Shikai took a sharp turn in his reasoning, “But within the relics of Atlantis, there exists an aura of death.”
Just like those night watch soldiers and the army, they should have been dead long ago, but they continue to maintain the integrity of their souls with the aura of death, and thus have beco “living dead.”
“You and that person from the Underworld were both hit by the tomb’s triggered arrows; death aura entered your body, and he died in less than ten minutes, yet you’re still perfectly fine now, without the slightest sign of anomaly.” Ye Shikai had a grave expression.
The people who had previously been exposed to the aura of death, even if they didn’t die imdiately, would gradually rot and turn into decayed corpses, but Sally was clearly injured by the arrows, yet she showed no sign of pain.
The Sally before him could very well, just like those soldiers, also be “living dead.”
“Those soldiers are just reanimated corpses driven by the aura of death, their minds devoid of free will; I am different from them,” Sally said with a light chuckle, shaking her finger.
“Then how did you do it?” Ye Shikai furrowed his brow, sensing an ominous premonition.
“No rush, since you’ve already discovered my true identity, let first tell you a story,” Sally said faintly as she took off the coat with the na “Adam” on it, revealing the silver soft armor underneath, and talked to Ye Shikai.
“In ancient Atlantis, a multitude of citizens were ruled by a tyrannical king, a despotic ruler.
People lanted their suffering, but he suppressed them with absolute control over the army.
And since the city of Atlantis itself was on an isolated island, cut off from the world, there were neither internal worries nor external troubles.
The tyrant sat ‘securely’ on the throne.”
“However, as ti passed, that tyrant’s health declined day by day, and he actually started to dream of immortality.” As she spoke, a flicker of resentnt crossed Sally’s eyes.
It was brief, but Ye Shikai still caught it.
“Since ancient tis there have been legends of immortality, and this tyrant actually believed them to be true.” Sally sneered coldly, “In Atlantis, there existed Four Elents treasures, and according to the legend, these Four Elents treasures were the key to immortality.”
“At that ti in the city, there was a Pharmacist nad Tu Tan, whose alchemical skills were peerless, extrely famous throughout Atlantis.
Thus, the king ordered him to use these Four Elents to concoct the Immortality Elixir.”
“Hmph, the Four Elents were originally treasures of heaven and earth, and Atlantis’ prosperity depended entirely on them, but in the end…
in the end, they were misused by that foolish tyrant to concoct dicine.” Sally couldn’t help but curse, Ye Shikai had already guessed that this story must be Sally’s own experience.
Without the Four Elents, Atlantis suffered frequent calamities, and the people petitioned the King, only to be flatly rejected by that foolish ruler.
He even ordered his troops to strangle several disobedient citizens and gave Tu Tan a deadline of one month to produce the elixir, or else face execution.”
“This story sounds all too familiar.” Ye Shikai couldn’t help but comnt sarcastically.
Emperor Qin Shi Huang had also sought immortality, sending the alchemist Xu Fu to travel eastward in search of a secret formula, but the King of Atlantis seed to be even more deranged, to actually use the Four Elents for alchemy.
“And the King was the ultimate hypocrite.
On one hand, he secretly ordered Tu Tan to prepare the divine dicine, while on the other, he conscripted a hundred thousand strong n to work day and night on his tomb.” Sally continued, “So, the King found Hu Li.”
In any king’s tomb, there are nurous burial goods, and what these kings fear most is their tombs being robbed.
Disturbing the peace of the deceased has always been taboo.
Therefore, in these tombs, there are always many chanisms, such as arrows and rolling stones, which are the most basic of traps.
“Hu Li was elusive, and few people knew his true face, and even…
whether he was male or female.” As soon as Sally finished speaking, Ye Shikai’s pupils suddenly narrowed.
“Hehe, Hu Li was a master of chanisms, so the King commissioned him to build the tomb and design the traps.”
“On one hand, the King ordered Tu Tan to make the Immortality Elixir, and on the other, ordered Hu Li to construct the tomb.
But that foolish tyrant could never have imagined…
that Tu Tan and Hu Li were father and daughter.” After finishing her sentence, Sally burst into loud laughter on the spot.
“What, father and daughter?” Ye Shikai showed a shocked expression, and in his mind erged the image of a mural, a man, and a little girl kneeling before the King, seemingly speaking sothing.
“That foolish monarch had no idea, and in the end, while he sought eternal life on one hand, he desired eternal rest on the other.
He thought he could control life and death with the Four Elents, but in reality…
his fate was always in soone else’s hands.” Sally laughed hysterically.
“Could it be, you are…”
“Yes, I am Hu Li, and my father is Tu Tan.
The na Sally was just sothing I made up, haha.”
Ye Shikai had not expected that Sally was actually Hu Li, a woman, and this woman, who should have died long ago, was standing alive right in front of him—it all exceeded his understanding.
“Does that an Tu Tan really made the Immortality Elixir?”
“Yes, but that precious thing was never going to be enjoyed by that foolish monarch.” Sally interrupted Ye Shikai before he could finish.
“Could it be that you took the Immortality Elixir?” Ye Shikai had a foreboding feeling.
“Correct, the only Immortality Elixir was consud by , I have been here, surviving alone for thousands of years.” As Sally spoke, a hint of loneliness flashed in her eyes.
If what she said was true, to live alone for thousands of years, such solitude would be unbearable for anyone.
