There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 624, The Erased History

I'm starting to lose my composure.

Xiao Yang was really starting to lose his composure.

He found that he felt more helpless and frustrated when facing his fellow travelers than when facing his enemies.

What can be done in such a situation?

Xiao Yang raised his hand, and a golden light shone brightly amidst the gazes of many heroic spirits in the arena.

"hope."

Many things can be lied about, but authority cannot.

As a collection of concepts, whether you sincerely practice it or make that gesture for the sake of power, as long as you still want to use the power of authority, you can no longer betray it.

This is why authority is called the leash of the gods.

Of course, the actual situation is not so absolute and extreme.

After all, many evil gods have done things that distort authority.

Courage is twisted into slaughter, happiness into desire, health into disease, and knowledge into a mad thirst.

However, Xiao Yang was clearly not in this category. The scepter of hope that he held high shone with a warm and bright golden light, but it was not dazzling at all.

It is so pure that it is unimaginable. Even those gods of justice who have long upheld their beliefs could not possibly condense a purer authority than him.

Xiao Yang was not chosen by power, nor did he choose power; rather, power was created for him.

When the power of hope is held high above one's head, the faction to which one belongs naturally becomes obvious.

The hazy Valkyrie lowered her rusty longsword. She was the only one among these ancient spirits who still retained her intelligence. With her movement, one rusty weapon after another fell to the ground, and the arena fell silent once more.

Xiao Yang withdrew the dazzling golden light and came to the Valkyrie.

"Can you tell me what exactly happened? That war?"

Xiao Yang made no attempt to hide his curiosity.

The story that happened was still shrouded in mystery for him.

Now that we've found a survivor who's still alive, we naturally won't let him go.

Instead of directly answering Xiao Yang's question, the enigmatic Valkyrie asked a completely unrelated question.

"How's it going outside?"

Xiao Yang paused for a moment when faced with this question.

In which aspect?

The Valkyrie fell silent, staring blankly at Xiao Yang.

This is indeed a serious problem.

I thought about it.

Xiao Yang started it.

"It's terrible, everything is a mess."

"It's obvious."

Gazing at Xiao Yang, the Valkyrie suddenly nodded in agreement after a moment of silence.

Now it was Xiao Yang's turn to fall silent.

Such gazes and words...

He felt that this guy seemed to have offended him.

What do you want to know?

"Everything, everything!"

Silence and pause.

"It all comes down to that door. We were too confident..."

Xiao Yang listened intently to the words of the Valkyrie in front of him, very seriously, because the rewards from this daily mission might be unexpectedly great.

It wasn't about the abomination of death and the evil god of death being slowly roasted over a low flame beside him, but rather that he had finally found a survivor willing to speak.

He was really fed up with those riddle tellers, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Listen attentively.

However, he had clearly forgotten something.

In fact, there are quite a few veterans in City of Hope.

Not to mention far away.

"The Elder Council of the Wild Elves, the Sun Church of the God of Radiance."

Come closer.

"The God of Radiance was also a survivor."

But whenever Xiao Yang asked them about that ancient history, that war, and why the world had become like this, they all chose to remain silent.

This is not normal. At first.

No one believed that Xiao Yang had truly taken on the hope.

It's perfectly normal to hold back.

But now.

Almost everything was now on Xiao Yang's shoulders, but still...

"They are unwilling to say anything."

This doesn't make sense.

Is it really that you don't want to talk about it?

"Still don't want to?"

Xiao Yang had heard of that person by that name.

At this moment, it arrived, without any warning.

The Brain of Idiots

Outwardly, it appears to be just a giant brain with grayish-white tentacles, but the moment it arrives, within the range of its power, all thought is brought to a halt.

Xiao Yang is indeed different from the legendary level; he is now a demigod.

It possesses exceptionally powerful strength.

The chaotic system finally began to transform.

At the same time, the hidden danger from another self temporarily subsided, and some dangerous gazes were temporarily diverted.

He is now undeniably powerful, even unprecedented in his strength, almost standing at the pinnacle of all the heavens and myriad realms.

Until this moment.

Until my thoughts gradually slowed down.

The curse on the idiotic minds of the wild elves was indeed a pillar, its power simple and unassuming.

It wasn't as eerie as the Pale Hand, nor as terrifying as the Scarlet Eye.

His arrival detached this region from conventional thinking.

Everything simultaneously entered a state of stagnation.

Xiao Yang's expression froze.

He had no idea what happened next.

Advancing to demigod status has indeed brought him great changes, there is no doubt about that. He is now just one step away from becoming a pillar of strength. When the brain of idiocy descended, he even reacted a step ahead of time.

At that moment, his inspiration surged, giving him a frantic warning.

But all it did was react.

When Xiao Yang regained consciousness.

Everything seemed unchanged, just as before, with the illusory Valkyrie standing before me.

But Xiao Yang now has an extra blessing.

The prompts from the Gods Game popped up like a memo.

[Warning, warning, a pillar-level being has arrived! A pillar-level being!]

It wasn't just Xiao Yang's fragmented memory; the Gods' Game also seemed to have been interrupted due to the arrival of the Foolish Brain.

The prompts kept popping up one by one.

[Increase favorability with the Foolish Brain]

[Receive a new blessing]

[Congratulations to the player for unlocking the special achievement: Unable to Think]
