Apocalypse Lord-Chapter 37 - 35: Kill the Sun

Mine? What does this have to do with the sun?

Lin Lan felt a stir of confusion, flipping to the next page where fine text immediately caught his eye.

[This manual was written at the end of the Fourth Era. Please understand that we cannot provide a safe and reliable mining environment, nor can we predict what risks may be encountered when mining the veins.]

[Because theoretically, ’Mine Number Three’ will emerge in the instant of civilization’s destruction.]

[We plan to kill the Eternal Fierce Sun that shelters all living beings.]

Lin Lan’s pupils shook.

He focused on the text, continuing to turn the pages.

[In the plan, with the cooperation of the Eternal Fierce Sun, we will forcibly use the entire Ark to pierce through His Divine Kingdom. If all goes well, our civilization will become the most important entity of the mine.]

[Let us praise the Eternal Fierce Sun! Praise His selflessness and greatness! The sun allows future epoch’s people to mine its own corpse, which is also His final hope and gift to the world.]

[The story of the Giant Race ends here. Next, our civilization will die along with the fierce sun we worship.]

[The Pioneers will pass down our texts; regrettably, faith will be exploited by the Ouroboros, and truth will render everything meaningless, so you are destined not to understand our texts.]

[But it doesn’t matter; the meaning of the text is not important. You only need to remember the syllables, because the Giant’s language itself is the head and pickaxe for mining the veins.]

[The method of mining veins is very simple. Even if He dies, the glory of the Divine Kingdom will still shine on the earth. Just use your will to read the text, and then knock the Sun Ash Soil off the God’s corpse!]

[For you, mining might be a laborious test of willpower, since faith has ceased to exist. But that’s a good thing, never get involved with faith, it should not have existed from the beginning.]

[So, farewell forever, and good luck.]

Lin Lan remained in a daze for a long time.

The mining manual for Mine Number Three was very brief, yet the truth contained within was suffocating.

The sun is the dead god?

He instinctively looked up at the sky, gazing at the magnificent and scorching celestial body. By now, it was evening; the sun’s light was no longer so glaring as it slowly descended towards the sea, appearing inexplicably lonely.

Why did the Giants want to slay the gods? What is the Ouroboros they spoke of?

Various questions swirled in Lin Lan’s mind as he handed the Prayer Book to the Priest, his tone unquestionable:

"Sean, try praying in front of me once."

"Yes, Lord."

Sean did not dare to defy the Lord’s command; he started to stammeringly chant the words from the Prayer Book.

Lin Lan listened intently. Even though Sean’s mental state was somewhat weakened recently, the language that had long lost its meaning still contained an indescribable sense of power.

Like muscles flexing, like a mighty hammer falling, like dawn tearing through the night, sparks in the furnace bursting in the dark, with fiery courage ringing in people’s hearts.

In the crowd’s gaze, the sunset gradually deepened, and a beam of sunlight gathered in front of the Priest, particularly striking.

Sean’s chant became increasingly fluent. He gathered his spirit, and the next moment, it seemed that something was knocked down.

The Sun Praise Priest seized the moment, reaching out his hand to catch the fallen sunlight, then handed it to the astonished young Lord.

"Lord, my strength is actually weak, compared to your potion, it’s insignificant..."

Sean appeared even more fatigued as he honestly explained, "This sunlight will soon dissipate."

Lin Lan nodded, focusing all his attention on the ’ore’ in his palm.

Sunlight indeed had texture...

It was slightly hot to the touch, really felt like a stone with sharp edges, yet very light, almost weightless.

[Identifying the item you picked up for you!]

[Item: A small fragment of Ash Soil]

[Quality: Gray]

[Function: Temporarily negate the negative effects caused by Celestial Calamity]

[Description: The more He loves us, the more sorrowful and bewildered He is because civilizations will always seek truth, like moths drawn to flames.]

Lin Lan stared at the identification panel, and at this moment, the system popped up a new prompt.

[Detected the manager successfully contacting a new Divine Authority, generating a new Dungeon Card now!]

In Lin Lan’s astonished gaze, the Ash Soil ore melted in his palm, transforming into a wholly illusory card!

The card floated lightly in the air, spinning, its back quickly sketching a exquisite sun pattern.

In the next instant, the world was completely frozen.

Lin Lan was momentarily disoriented, endless sunlight pouring down from the horizon, engulfing the entire camp.

·

[Mid-Fourth Era, celestial calamities never cease, the Godslaying War covers the universe, under destiny, all becomes Ash Soil]

[A special plot Dungeon Card has been generated for you!]

[Current Dungeon Card: Kill the Sun!]

[Card Base: Eternal Fierce Sun (Unique)]

[Card Keywords: Fourth Era, Giant, Ark, Mine]

[Clearing this dungeon will yield gold-quality item tools!]

[Please note that the course of history is extremely difficult to change, and the plot dungeon card can only be cleared once]

Lin Lan suddenly opened his eyes, finding himself in a strange place.

Scorching winds swept across the land, fire rains descended from the sky, the ground was a pitch-black wasteland, looking up, countless giant classical building remains floated in the dark red sky.

The entire world seemed to have been bombarded by some heavy weapon, then chaotically disordered under twisted gravity.

"Unexpectedly a new plot dungeon..."

Lin Lan stared at the system interface, and then noticed the last system prompt, his eyes subtly changed.

This time, history can change?

Lin Lan cautiously surveyed the surroundings, attempting to take a step.

A distant rumble of artillery fire faintly echoed from the depths of the sky, he looked up, seeing something falling from the gaps in the sky ruins.

A manned airship engulfed in flames and dark smoke!

Boom!!!

The airship passed through fire rain, crashing heavily in front of Lin Lan, raising towering dust.

Then, the twisted cabin door was forcefully kicked open, and an entire team of tall, heavily armed figures emerged.

This group was truly towering.

Each team member could be estimated to be over three meters tall, Lin Lan had to crane his neck to barely see their faces.

Having been fooled by the Red Dragon Historian, this time Lin Lan decided to actively attract the dungeon characters’ attention.

"Hey~ everyone~ can you see me?"

He stood in front of them, vigorously waving his arms.

The team captain calmly surveyed the surroundings, ignoring the bouncing little figure beside him, then held his helmet, producing a slightly muffled sound:

"Reporting to headquarters, the seventh reconnaissance team has successfully reached the shallow region of the Divine Kingdom."
