Chapter 286 House of Truth
Finally arrived at the House of Truth. The journey was quite difficult... I clicked the screen hundreds of times.

Yang Qizhou's thoughts unconsciously turned.

"That's great, Your Excellency the Lantern Bearer. If nothing goes wrong, we will be able to find the forbidden treasure soon." The slightly excited voice of the secret practitioner came as expected. Thinking of the opportunity to become a god that was within reach, her heart was filled with energy.

This woman seemed to have determined that the game character would be able to successfully obtain the "forbidden treasure".

Although Yang Qizhou didn't have the heart to break her fantasy, he kindly reminded her, "It's too early to be happy now. The game character hasn't entered the 'House of Truth' yet, and no one knows what kind of dangers are there."

Who would have thought that when the 'secret cultivator' heard this, he was not only not depressed, but also smiled...

She looked at the 'Lamp Bearer' in front of her and said with great sincerity: "Sir, your strength comparable to that of a god and your unpredictable methods have proven that no matter how bizarre and terrifying the crisis the game character encounters, it can be easily resolved. I believe that as long as you are here, it is only a matter of time before the 'Forbidden Treasure' is found."

Really...you're telling the truth.

Yang Qizhou subconsciously straightened his chest and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it shouldn't be a problem, so don't delay, let's continue."

"Ah."

The secret cultivator had an excited expression on his face and nodded vigorously. Then the two of them turned their attention to their mobile phones and started clicking on the screens.

The game continues.

……

"The mountain was pitch black like coal, with a lingering fragrance. Gray-black mist was rolling in the black curtain connecting the sky and the earth, and occasionally one could hear terrifying roars."

"As you climb to the top of the mountain, the complete outline of the giant gate gradually emerges in your field of vision, and becomes clearer and clearer. When you reach the top of the mountain, the magnificent building truly comes into view."

"You said this is a 'house'?"

“When you see the scenery in front of you, you feel a sense of absurdity. You even have the urge to pull the ‘crazy creator’ over and ask Him again, ‘Are you sure this is a house?’”

"This is a clock tower-style building, dozens of meters high, with a round spire and an unimaginably huge clock hanging in the middle. The entire building is also wrapped in a faint gray-white mist, as if it has merged with the dark mountain and the black-gray mist that separates the Lost Heaven. This is why you didn't see the full face of the 'House of Truth' when you were at the foot of the mountain."

"And in front of me is a gate nearly ten meters high, like the one used in a giant's palace. There is a relief carved on it, a slightly abstract pattern. From it, you can vaguely see a man wearing a white divine robe, with golden hair, gem-green eyes, and a faint smile on his lips. He looks like a priest, and he is sitting on a throne made of jade. Around him, there are countless 'gods' surrendering and serving him."

"He should be the 'King of Correct Wizards' mentioned by the 'God of Justice'."

"I have to say, this guy is really awesome..."

"You can give it a score of 101."

"One point more is not afraid of your pride."

"Sir, the Profaned Dark Raven, according to the revelation of the God of Justice, the forbidden treasure is in the deepest part of the House of Truth. Let's go in quickly..." The voice of the secret practitioner came. Thinking of the opportunity to become a god in the forbidden treasure, she was full of anxiety and expectation."

"Has the God of Justice made another revelation?"

"Although according to the agreement, after helping him repel the evil god of the 'Prayer for Light', he will guide the 'secret cultivators' to the House of Truth, but this is too positive, too enthusiastic, and too impatient."

"You seem to be thinking about something..."

"But you didn't refuse. First, you were curious about the 'Forbidden Treasures'. Second, you wanted to see what tricks the 'God of Justice' was up to."

"Thinking of this, you nodded in a rather cold manner."

"You followed the tiny crack in the giant door and walked into the 'House of Truth'..."

“The grand ‘hut’ is not dark at all. The slightly dazzling sunlight pours in from the large French windows, allowing you to see the surrounding scenes clearly but still a little blurry.”

"After passing through the door, the first thing you see is a huge hall, a thousand square meters in size. The walls are covered with paintings, at the top is a prayer table, and in the middle are rows of benches. There is also a huge crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling."

“It’s like a giant cathedral here.”

"When you walk into the hall, you subconsciously turn your eyes to the paintings and find that the patterns on them have a slight touch of 'worship of gods'."

"For example, the painting on the far left shows a huge embryo shrouded in fog, and the true face of the fetus inside cannot be seen. And around it are countless believers wearing cloaks and masks, with their heads covered and their faces cannot be seen, praying."

"There is another painting, which is a distorted, abstract starry sky. Every star and every ray of starlight is like flowing liquid. Below, there are black dragons, giants, ancient gods, mother trees, etc., which are obviously creatures of the ancient rulers, and they are looking up."

"The third one, the fourth one, the fifth one..."

“It’s generally like this.”

"Could 'embryo' represent the universe before its birth... The believers in these patterns don't seem to be worshipping a specific god, but the entire astral world, or the universe itself... Shouldn't the 'King of Correct Wizards' be a taboo existence that blasphemes divinity, occupies power, and represents slavery? How could his ranch, his research lab, and his academy allow these patterns to be hung?"

“You feel the abnormality deeply.”

"Just then, the voice of the 'secret cultivator' came... Mr. 'Desecrated Dark Crow', please go this way to the third floor. According to the revelation of the 'God of Justice', the forbidden treasure is likely to be up there."

"At this moment, she is standing at the innermost part of the hall, next to a large door."

"and many more……"

"You suddenly thought of something and waved your hand, indicating that there was no need to be so anxious."

"Then you set your eyes on the prayer table and strode over. Soon you were in front of a book that looked like a holy book. However, it had been covered in dust because it had not been read for a long time. You could only vaguely see four words on the cover... The Book of Revelation."

"This name reminds you of the world's best-selling religious book before you traveled through time."

"You soon raised your hand and tried to flip through the 'Book of Revelation', trying to find out why the 'House of Truth' hung these pictures with the color of worshiping gods."

"But as soon as your hand touched it, the entire 'Book of Revelation' began to weather at a speed visible to the naked eye. Not only that, an infinite wind appeared out of nowhere at the same time, blowing away the book that turned to ashes in the blink of an eye. Only this line of text could be vaguely seen on the remaining pages."

"The stars are shining, and He will return."

"Are the stars shining again? Who could this 'He' be..."

"You can't help but think of the remains of the Dota tribe. On that stone tablet, it was also written 'When the end of the universe comes, the stars will shine'?"

"You are lost in thought, and many complicated speculations emerge in your mind, but unfortunately you still don't have a clear clue."

"The 'secret cultivator' came to your side, with a look of anxiety, a bit of strangeness, and a bit of understanding in his eyes. He said... According to the revelation of the 'God of Justice', there is nothing valuable in this hall. We should go to the third floor as soon as possible and find the forbidden treasure. This is the most important thing at the moment."

"You took a deep look at the woman in front of you, but ultimately did not refuse and nodded..."

"You soon left the 'hall' and found the stairs leading to the second floor in the deep and dark corridor. But for some reason, compared to the brightness of the hall, this place seemed much darker and quieter."

"Looking around warily, you feel a little cautious."

"You continue to move upwards."

"This slightly dim staircase is not high. Soon you will arrive at the second floor of the 'House of Truth'. The first thing that comes into view is another corridor... connected to doors one after another, but no one knows where the end of the corridor leads to."

"At the same time, a disembodied voice faintly sounded in your ears... Save me, save me, save me?"

"Is there a cry for help on the second floor of the 'House of Truth'?"

"You subconsciously asked the 'secret practitioner' next to you...whether he heard any sound, um, for example, a cry for help."

"She first showed a surprised expression, then listened carefully, and shook her head after a long time... I'm sorry, Mr. 'Defiled Dark Crow', I didn't hear any sound."

"No sound?"

"Is it an illusion? Or is it that only the 'blasphemous wizard' can hear those whispers?"

"When you think that this is the House of Truth of the 'King of Right Wizards' and that you are a 'blasphemous wizard', you have some vague suspicions in your heart."

"At this moment, the cry for help was like ripples caused by a stone thrown into the water. You thought carefully for a moment, and according to your feeling, you put your ear against the nearest door."

"At the same time, the originally illusory and vague whispers suddenly became real..."

"Save me, save me, teacher, I'm scared?"

"teacher?"

"The 'Truth Hut' is the ranch and laboratory of the King of Correct Wizards, and it is also the place where He teaches His students... Could it be that the 'teacher' in the illusory whispers refers to 'correctness'... and the cry for help is from His students."

"What did the 'King of Correct Wizards' do in the middle and late Third Age? Why did the students tell him that they were afraid?"

"You can't help but think of the paintings on the first floor that have the color of 'worshiping gods'. You always feel that there is some connection between the two, but no matter how hard you think about it, you can't figure it out for the time being."

"Just as you were thinking, a slightly anxious voice came again... Mr. Defiled Dark Raven, don't pay too much attention to those illusory whispers. According to the revelation of the God of Justice, these may be some powers left behind by the Forbidden Existences that came here in the middle and late Third Epoch. These powers have not completely dissipated over time. Let's go to the third floor as soon as possible. The Forbidden Relics are the most important."

"It was the 'secret practitioner' who spoke. Her voice was filled with anxiety and her eyes showed her eagerness to try."

"Are you urging me again?"

"Isn't this woman a little too anxious?"

"But that's true. She has spent a long time searching for the 'forbidden treasure'. Now that the 'chance to become a god' is right before her eyes, it's reasonable for her to be anxious."

"While thinking this, you waved your hand and said...wait, don't be in a hurry, there are some things that need to be clarified."

"Ok."

“The secret cultivator nodded, but didn’t say anything else.”

"And you didn't waste any time, you put your ear to the door, listening to each door one by one, and soon many whispers echoed in your mind."

"No, teacher, please don't let me go..."

"My herding spirit is out of control. What on earth is going on? Teacher, what on earth have you done?"

"Kill me, no, save me."

"You'll ruin it...it'll ruin it...it'll ruin it..."

"The third door, the fourth door, the fifth door, and soon all the doors in the quiet corridor. You listened and found that the whispers were intermittent, and some were illogical and incoherent. You had some guesses in your mind... The owners of these cries for help were either crazy or had already died, leaving only obsessions behind."

"But the content of the whisper makes you very concerned."

"The gods that are being herded are out of control... This seems to be somewhat similar to the 'Day of the Fall', when the gods that the blasphemous wizards were herding suddenly gained self-awareness... What exactly is the 'King of Righteous Wizards' doing, and what can he destroy?"

"Do you want to open one and see what's in the room?"

"You thought about this idea seriously, but gave up quickly... No one knows what kind of monster is behind the door, or whether it will trigger a terrible forbidden power. The unknown is the greatest danger."

"You are ready to go. Head to the third floor, where the 'Forbidden Relic' is located."

"But before you could take any action, the anxious voice of the 'secret cultivator' came again... Sir 'Desecrated Dark Crow', you have listened to all the doors, you can set off now."

"Are you urging me again?"

"you……"

……

……

When Yang Qizhou was concentrating on the game text, a voice suddenly came, "Sir Lantern Bearer, my game character's current status is not right?"

The one who spoke was the secret cultivator...

This made Yang Qizhou look over and saw that her brows were furrowed, her eyes revealed a bit of uneasiness, and she was trying hard to remain calm.

"Something's wrong?"

Yang Qizhou asked with some doubt: "Why do you say that?"
