Chapter 945: Chapter 442: The Most Powerful Abyssal God in History_2

After discovering there were no treasures in the tomb chamber, Lin Xun pressed on to explore further.

He still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that the deepest part of the mausoleum hid precious items.

"Just as you’re about to take a step toward the second layer of the mausoleum, the demon statues lining the staircase suddenly crumble to dust, their surfaces of cold stone turning into searing flesh."

"It seems they can feel your approach, transforming from lifeless statues into actual demons."

"Only now do you notice the form of the statues, demons with black wings on their backs and ferocious, terrifying faces, clutching poleaxes, standing silently here..."

"When you entered the mausoleum, you saw similar giant statues at the entrance."

"But at that time, it was the ’Demon Shaman’ who opened the doors for you, and the two guardian statues did not come to life..."

"In the blink of an eye, two towering, fierce demons step down from their pedestals, crossing their poleaxes left and right, blocking your path!"

"You have encountered the ’Abyssal Stone Devil’!"

"The demon on the left sternly speaks, stating that you, a descendant coming to worship, must answer its three questions correctly to have the privilege to proceed to the next level of the mausoleum to worship your ancestors!"

"The demon on the right continues, explaining that if you get one answer wrong, you will lose the privilege to worship on the next level, and if you get two wrong, they will immediately expel you from the mausoleum and you will never be able to set foot in it again."

"If you answer all three questions incorrectly, then you will pay with your life for the disturbance of their slumber!"

"Apostle, do you wish to answer the ’Stone Devil’s’ questions to earn the right to descend further?"

Lin Xun had harbored doubts about whether the deeper levels of the mausoleum contained precious items, but now with this turn of events, the probability that the lower chambers hid treasures had greatly increased.

The Underworld Game had not described how powerful the two ’Stone Devils’ were, but being guardians of the ancestral mausoleum, their strength mustn’t be underestimated.

After all, the least of the buried here were demon lords...

"The ’Stone Devil’ continues, stating that to worship ancestors, one must be intimately acquainted with the history recorded on the demon race’s steles. If you have already forgotten the glory of the Demon Clan, you do not deserve the right to worship!"

Lin Xun smiled confidently, thinking that this played right into his hands.

He had memorized the text on the stele long ago and even if he hadn’t, he could simply look it up in the text.

How was this any different from an open-book exam?

"You once again express your determination to proceed to the lower level to worship, despite the risk to your life, nothing will stop your resolve to worship your ancestors!"

"The ’Stone Devil’ admires your attitude and begins to ask questions..."

"The first question!"

"How many times has the war of the Gods taken place according to the history recorded on the steles?"

"1. Once"

"2. Twice"

"3. Thrice"

Lin Xun scoffed, "Is that it?"

He decisively pressed the second option, without the slightest hesitation.

"The ’Stone Devil,’ upon hearing your firm answer, nods in approval, saying that remembering the sacrifices of the ancestors is the duty of every descendant of the Demon Clan."

"Without their sacrifices in the divine wars, the Demon Clan would have long since been extinguished from the annals of history."

"Now for the second question!"

"According to the history recorded on the steles, the great ’Abyss’ also held another title as the ’Main God of the Stars.’ How did It attain this title?"

"1. Self-promotion"

"2. Changing of authority"

"3. Devouring an Evil God"

"It’s too easy, practically handing out points..."

Lin Xun quickly pressed the third option, eager not to waste any time.

"The ’Stone Devil,’ upon hearing your swift answer, nods again in approval, saying that although the ’Abyss’ had fallen in the second divine war, Its ’Stars’ title had not been completely lost."

"This is key for the ’Abyss’ to revive and return."

"The final question!"

"Buried in the deepest part of the mausoleum are the most powerful deities of the Demon Clan..."

"Please tell us, what is the sacred name of the most powerful deity born amongst the Demon Clan?"

"1. Fallen Master"

"2. Demon of Slaughter"

"3. Pillar of Darkness"

"What?"

Lin Xun was taken aback.

After the previous two questions, which were easy points, he assumed the third would follow suit.

But with this third question... he had no idea of the answer.

Lin Xun thought he might not have remembered the history on the stele clearly and quickly reviewed the previous texts, but this part was not mentioned at all in the textbooks.

"That’s not right, weren’t all the questions supposed to be about the history recorded on the stele?"

"This is off-topic!"

"Could there be hidden content in the history on the stele that requires payment to be revealed?"

There were only two possible explanations for such a situation: either the stele contained other texts, or the section he saw recorded only a general mythological history, while the details were inscribed on another stele, leaving him clueless about the answer.

The other possibility was that the ’Stone Devil’ was deliberately asking beyond the syllabus, not wishing to let him enter the deeper levels of the mausoleum.

"..."

"Seeing that you have not answered for a long time, the ’Stone Devil’ speaks in a stern, grave voice, ’Descendant, have you truly forgotten that glorious history?’

"Shout out loud, who is the most powerful deity ever born amongst the Demon Clan!"

The three unfamiliar options in front of him turn blood-red, and start to shake violently.

This signified that if he didn’t make a choice soon, the Stone Devil might immediately declare him wrong.

"Damn it! Just guess one, there’s a one in three chance of getting it right."
