Chapter 23 1.23 The Way Out of the City

After hearing the sound, Loki turned around and saw a letter written on a thick book on the table.

Respect the Holy Emperor:

Thousands of years ago, Qin Shihuang unified the world, and all nations came to China to worship him. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the First Emperor was quite patient with foreign nations and their unique beliefs. As long as he sends envoys to the Central Plains to pay tribute, he can accept them as his subjects.

For these reasons, the First Emperor sent pre-Qin Qi masters to compile the "Tribute Map of the World" to draw a complete picture of the Nine Provinces, requiring clear knowledge of the appearance, characteristics, ancestral origins, living habits, etc. of all tribute subjects.

After reading this, Loki saw that under the letter, there was actually a piece of soft deerskin. When he spread it out, he saw that it was a hand-drawn "map of the world." On one side of the map are written the words "map of paying tribute to all the tribes in the world".

It's just that many details of the map are different from what I remember.

The First Emperor had more than enough ambition, but the Qin Dynasty's national power could not support such a lengthy and massive project.

In the early days of the founding of the Qin Dynasty, the country's population was only ten million, less than one-tenth of our prosperous Tang Dynasty! Under such circumstances, it would be beyond his power to send Qi refiners to search for civilizations all over the world.

However, although there are many forgeries and haphazard writings in the "Tianxia Zhufan Shi Gong Tu" (for example, the Eight Immortals crossing the sea to Penglai was simply made up out of thin air), it also records many remote and hidden places.

For example, [Sleeping City Hohenheim], after many investigations by officials, it is indeed a city!

When I first entered the city, I discovered that there were pre-Qin Qi masters massacring aliens and then killing each other in the city! I am responsible for the compilation of "General Map of the World: Submerged City Volumes". I wonder if this paragraph should be included in the book.

The purpose of compiling this map is to highlight the features of our great country. If someone who reads this picture takes it out of context and thinks that our country is full of cruel, bloodthirsty, murderous people, I'm afraid it will damage the face of our Eastern land, the Tang Dynasty.

"Prince Li Yu", our Consul General in "Constantinople" on the Western Continent, ordered his ministers to bring Volume 5 of "General Map of the World" to meet with the envoys of the Kingdom of "Northumbria" in England to demonstrate our national strength.

I am about to travel, and I am carrying a simplified version with all sensitive content deleted. The truly compiled "Detailed Volume of the Submerged City" will be sent to Chang'an together with this letter for the Holy Emperor to read.

Note: I heard that the Holy Emperor was very interested in the pre-Qin Qi refiners. Wei Chen discovered the remains of a pre-Qin Qi refiner in the submerged city. According to Wei Chen's inference, if the ancient god's inner elixir really existed, it would most likely be in the body of this dead warrior.

As a recorder of history books, I dare not touch it at will. It is left to the Holy Emperor to decide how to dispose of this body.

——Chen: Mo Yiquan

Beneath the letter was a volume five of "The General Map of the World" that was three times thicker than the book in his hand. Open this dictionary-like book. Loki found that all the pictures in this book had many more details than the one in his hand.

The original atlas only contained a map of the city and the plants in the city, without any explanation of the people living in the city or what specifically happened.

However, this book accurately depicts the dead red giants, fallen titans, their weapons and equipment, and the battle process inferred from their death costumes.

What surprised Loki was the thickness of the book and the details of the battles it contained. If this huge workload was completed by Mo Yiquan alone, he would have to live alone in the ruins of this tomb-like city for several years.

People need to eat.

How does he live?

Loki followed the raven and found that there was only fine ocean sand in the city, no soil, and no vegetation. Those huge red giants may also be able to eat the coral seaweed outside the city, but those things are highly toxic to humans.

And it’s almost impossible to see your fingers outside. All crops that humans can eat require sunlight. It simply cannot grow here.

Mo Yiquan was alone, working alone. Even if he could carry food several times his own weight like an ant, he would still finish it after a month.

(He must have a way to quickly travel between the sea and the underground!)

At the same time, Loki remembered a name: Prince Li Yu.

After Mo Yiquan walked out of the Sunken City with the sketch, he was ambushed by Father Walder of the Illuminati. Not only did he die at the hands of Old Wade, the sketch and the [Seal of Blood Sacrifice] also fell into his hands.

In Loki's opinion, his death must be related to Prince Li Yu. It's even possible that this man, like Old Walder, is a member of the Illuminati.

But the immediate priority is to find a way to return to the ground as soon as possible. Loki turned his head and looked again at the red statue placed in the center of the room. Now it seems that this statue is completely weird placed here.

Just light a fire outside the city, it's almost pitch black. This is the only place in the city that has enough light. It was obvious that when Mo Yiquan was drawing the map, he transported every item in the city to this room for detailed drawing.

So the question is, why is this thing still standing here after the entire book has been spent? In hesitation, Loki sat down at the workbench again, threw away the letter, and opened the "General Atlas of the World Volume 5" which recorded all the details of the Sunken City.

On the last page of the book, Loki saw an introduction to the statue.

[Stone Sculpture of Bloody Creator]

This is a stone sculpture placed in the center of the city lord's palace in the submerged city. The stone sculpture is 1.42 meters high and weighs 112 kilograms. It is very old and can be traced back to the time of the ancient gods when Nuwa mended the sky.

According to my inference, this item should be the item that the Bloody Creator brought with him when he came to Jiuzhou through the cracks in the sky. Why did he carry the stone sculpture?

After many studies by the Qigong masters of the pre-Qin Dynasty and my detailed research, I think there are two reasons

1. All the foreign gods came to Jiuzhou to spread their faith.

The foreign gods are different from the new gods that appeared in modern times.

All the new gods, such as the Holy Lord of the Holy Bishop who died and came back to life, and died again. The Fire King in the Fire God Cult, and even the God King Odin believed by the hairy savages in the Far North, have the ability to "manifest their holiness".

But the old gods rarely reveal their true appearance to mortals.

The way they spread their faith is to worship their statues. According to my speculation, the Bloody Creator Stone Sculpture is a creation with this ability. Many red giants will carry this item.

The Qigong masters of the pre-Qin Dynasty destroyed all the Bloody Creator Stone Sculptures when they destroyed the city. I found these two remnants in a very hidden and remote place.

2. I found that this stone sculpture has the method of breaking through time and space to avoid obstacles and travel through time and space!

Under the statue, Mo Yiquan used almost the same length as the statue itself to carefully draw the [Blood Sacrifice Seal] which is only one inch square.

[Blood Sacrifice Seal] is a tribute presented by [Blood Creator] to King Qin a thousand years ago.

But according to my analysis, this thing is part of [Blood Creator Stone Sculpture].

It is extremely complicated to enter the submerged city simply by using [Blood Sacrifice Seal]. Those entering the city need to choose the right time in the Xiaohan Sea and find the right star position. Only then will the bright moon and the four stars heat the sea water with the light of the stars and the moon, allowing the sea water to accumulate energy.

The fog rises for more than ten days, and the sea water in the Xiaohan Sea can accumulate enough energy. Only ordinary people can use [Blood Sacrifice Seal] to separate the sea water and reveal the passage to the underwater city!

Entering the city in this way will be extremely cumbersome and complicated, and it requires a lot of luck. The [Blood Creator] clan originally wanted to use this method to make the King of Qin look decent and avoid fighting at the same time.

The seawater channel can only last for one day. After one day, the seawater gathered again, and even the strong Qi Refiners of the pre-Qin Dynasty could not separate the seawater and rush to the surface. But they had no idea what kind of people these Qi Refiners were.

They still could not escape the fate of extermination.

The only two [Blood Creator Stone Statue], one is placed in my workshop, and the other is placed in a coastal cave in the Kingdom of "Northumbria" in England. To activate the stone statue, I need the [Blood Sacrifice Seal] in my hand, so even if a herdsman finds it by chance, it cannot be used!

Seeing this, Loki couldn't help but shook his head.

It's easy to find it without any effort!

He showed the [Blood Sacrifice Seal] in his hand and looked at the [Blood Creator Stone Sculpture] not far in front of him.

He sighed and then laughed.
