Chapter 113 Two Fourth-Order Gods Appear

The Tomb of Death, a legendary tomb in the world of gods and demons.

Whether it's the legendary archmage Imhotep, who possesses the strength of a fourth-tier early-stage mage, or the Scorpion Emperor, who is also at least a fourth-tier early-stage mage.

Their silhouettes all bear the shadow of death.

Now, Su Bai, Zheng Zha, and others are trapped in the Tomb of Death.

……

When the suction force on their bodies disappeared, Su Bai and the others separated and dispersed to different places in the Tomb of the God of Death.

With quick reflexes, Su Bai grabbed one person tightly, his telekinetic energy field surrounding him to prevent a collision, and he could adjust his direction and perform micro-controls within the suction force.

While the suction force was still present, Su Bai used his telekinesis to observe his surroundings as much as possible.

He found that this place was no different from other underground tombs, with intricate tomb passages and stone statues standing on both sides in some sections.

Those stone statues were undoubtedly dog-headed and human-bodied.

The overall color scheme is dark, but as they enter, many of the oil lamps in the tomb passage automatically light up, providing illumination.

Su Bai even saw a mural.

The time was too short, and Su Bai was unable to discern the specific content of the mural, which was a pity.

The content of the murals must be related to this tomb.

As the suction gradually weakened, Su Bai prepared to land. He adjusted his telekinetic field to create a stabilizing force and prevent an impact when the suction disappeared.

He did a good job. When the suction completely disappeared, he stood steadily in the dimly lit tomb passage, carrying a person.

"Strange, the main god hasn't issued any missions," Su Bai thought.

"Ahhh, it's all over, Death is angry!" the person being carried by Su Bai shouted in panic.

When I felt the movement stop, I was stunned because I didn't seem to have been hit or felt any pain.

He looked up and surveyed his surroundings, and immediately saw Su Bai watching him with great interest, while Su Bai was holding him in his hand.

That's some real strength...

"Mr. Su! Hahaha, you scared me to death! Thank goodness you were here!" the female lead's brother, Jonathan, exclaimed in surprise.

When you encounter something unexpected, it's wonderful to have someone you know with you.

“Hmm, I saw a mural on the road we came from. Let’s go take a look. We need to understand this place first before we can figure out how to leave,” Su Bai said, putting Jonathan down.

“You’re right.” Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief, nervously looking around as he followed Su Bai to the side.

The two walked back.

The dark tomb passage gives people a sense of insecurity.

The situation was rather sudden. Su Bai grabbed someone at random, who turned out to be Jonathan, the brother of the female protagonist in the story.

Given that neither Eve, the female protagonist, nor her brother Jonathan, needed to inject extra internal energy or vampire energy when using the Book of the Dead or the Book of the Sun, it is clear that neither Eve nor Jonathan needed to inject extra internal energy or vampire energy when using these items.

But these reincarnators or the legendary mage Imhotep all need them.

Both of these individuals likely possess special physical characteristics and identities.

Just as the female protagonist Eve is a reincarnation of ancient Egyptian royal blood, her brother Jonathan is also very likely a reincarnation of royal blood.

Having them around might play a crucial role at certain times.

"Mr. Su, do you know exactly what happened? Can we go back?" Jonathan was worried and afraid of the future. He couldn't help but grab Su Bai's arm.

Su Bai remained calm, his telekinetic powers extending outwards to observe his surroundings and prevent any unforeseen events.

“There’s gold here.” Looking at Jonathan, who was gripping his arm tightly, Su Bai said earnestly, “Based on my years of experience, there must be gold here, Jonathan. You’ve been in contact with me for quite some time now.”

"I am generous and seek out various mysterious forces in this world, obtaining a lot of gold. I have an innate sensitivity to gold."

Upon hearing the word "gold," Jonathan immediately perked up, his fear of his surroundings lessening considerably, and his voice rose considerably, "Gold! Mr. Su, you're saying there's gold here?!"

Su Bai said with certainty, "Yes, this is the Tomb of the Grim Reaper. Even Imhotep's tomb has so much gold, let alone this place. I suspect there is not only gold here, but also something even more precious."

Jonathan's breathing quickened. "You're right! This is the Tomb of Death! Hahaha, we're going to strike it rich! Let's hurry and find the murals to figure out what's going on here."

With his fear subsided, Jonathan released Su Bai's hand and strode forward, a completely different person from the one who had been gripping Su Bai's arm in fear just moments before.

Even his mind has become much more agile.

Greedy people need to be guided by greed.

“Mr. Su, do you remember what Imhotep said? The Tomb of Death, the place where you receive the legacy of Death. My god, are we going through the trials of Death?” Jonathan said as he walked forward, cautiously observing his surroundings.

“I don’t know, but what is certain is that Imhotep withheld information from us. He knows more about the Tomb of the Grim Reaper than we do,” Su Bai said.

"Imhotep, what an evil fellow," Jonathan snorted. "Mr. Sue, if you see Imhotep again, show no mercy, just kill him!"

Su Bai smiled and said, "Okay."

Imhotep's weaknesses are all in Su Bai's hands. Both the Book of the Sun and Ansu'na's corpse are Imhotep's fatal weaknesses.

Especially Anklub's corpse; for Anklub, Imhotep would not hesitate to sacrifice himself.

Therefore, Imhotep would not choose to betray the regime if he could not resolve these weaknesses.

Su Bai suddenly asked, "Jonathan, if we were all undergoing the trials of death, who do you think is most likely to receive the Grim Reaper's legacy?"

Jonathan, who was walking ahead, was taken aback. "Is it...Imhotep?"

Su Bai had already thought of this answer.

If Imhotep were to inherit the legacy of Death, he would naturally not be afraid of the Book of the Sun.

He will also gain access to the Grim Reaper's authority, allowing him to control the dead and retrieve people directly from hell without needing Ankur's corpse as a medium for summoning souls.

Once Imhotep receives the Death God's legacy, his two weaknesses will no longer be weaknesses.

A legendary mage with the strength of a 'fourth-tier beginner' is indeed not so easy to control.

"Kill him! Mr. Sue, kill Imhotep the moment you see him!" Jonathan shouted.

The dimly lit tomb passage was cold and terrifying, filled with unknown fears.

Su Bai and Jonathan arrived at the mural without any major incidents, without encountering any living creatures.

Even when they encountered the giant dog-headed, human-bodied stone statues on both sides of the station, the statues were indeed inanimate objects and did not move to attack them.

Arriving in front of the mural, Su Bai looked ahead and saw a refined scholar with a dog's head reading a book in the library.

Scrolling further, the image of the dog-headed man reading remained the same.

“I can decipher ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.” There were some descriptions on the murals, and upon seeing the writing, Jonathan volunteered to decipher them.

"Don't let my unreliable appearance fool you, I'm actually very capable." Jonathan gave Su Bai a proud look.

Su Bai signaled to Jonathan to demonstrate his talent.

About two hours later, Jonathan finally finished deciphering the mural, having extracted 30% of the text.

Fortunately, the murals are mostly images, and with images plus 30% text, we can deduce the content depicted in the murals.

Jonathan explained to Su Bai, "This is the story of a kobold named Nasus, a scholar who was eager to learn."

"At the age of ten, he had memorized and critiqued the greatest historical and philosophical works of the empire at that time."

"He also has a younger brother named Renekton who has a completely opposite personality."

"Nasus the dog-headed is a refined scholar, while his brother Renekton the crocodile-headed is a hot-tempered brute."

"After enrolling, Nasus demonstrated a strong learning ability. He quickly grasped military strategy and the significance of war, becoming the youngest general."

"He was not good at fighting personally, but rather at strategizing from the rear."

"He was very friendly to his soldiers, took his responsibilities seriously, led the empire to countless victories, and was second only to the emperor in prestige, earning him the nickname 'Dog-Headed Strategist'."

"His younger brother Renekton was competitive and didn't respect anyone except his older brother Nasus, whose fame was at its peak."

“Nasus was worried that his brother Renekton would cause trouble sooner or later, so he used his connections to get Renekton enlisted in the army.”

"Unexpectedly, Renekton thrived in the war, his belligerence turning into bravery and skill, making him one of the most valiant soldiers."

"Nasus's wisdom and Renekton's strength, the combination of wisdom and strength made great contributions to the Empire and became a legend of the Empire."

"During the war, Nasus compiled all the knowledge he gained after each victory and preserved it in various libraries and archives of the Empire, leaving wisdom and enlightenment for future generations."

"After the war ended, Nasus, who had won many battles, was tormented by a merciless illness, and he had only one week left to live."

"Upon hearing this news, the entire nation was plunged into grief."

"Nasus is a star general loved by everyone."

"The emperor at the time personally pleaded with the Ascension Corps, hoping that this meritorious official would receive the blessing of the Sun Disc."

"If the blessing is successful, you can ascend to godhood!"

"The Ascended have agreed." "Nasus will receive the blessing of ascension. He needs to climb 99 golden steps to reach the bottom of the Sun Disc. No one else can help him on that section of the steps; anyone who gets too close will die."

"The weakened Nasus struggled halfway up the mountain, but his strength gave out and he collapsed halfway down."

"He was too weak to complete the blessing and godhood ritual."

"The guards who came near were all burned to death by the sun's fire, and no one was able to help Nasus."

"When Renekton, the crocodile-headed man in the crowd, saw his brother's disheveled state and impending death, he resolutely rushed forward."

"He did not die like the others, as if unaffected. He helped his brother Nasus up, climbed the remaining steps, and successfully stood under the sun disk."

"The two of them received the blessing of the sun disk at the same time."

"One became the god of death, named Anubis, and the other became the crocodile god, named Sobek."

Jonathan told the story to Su Bai, who remained outwardly calm, but inwardly was in turmoil.

Anubis, the god of death, was called 'Nasus' before he became a god, Nasus the dog-headed one.

There is also a younger brother, crocodile-headed 'Rekton'.

He knows their story well!
Su Bai roughly knew what was going on with the tombs related to these two gods.

"This mural depicts the process of Death and his brother becoming gods," Jonathan muttered with admiration. "What is that sun disk? It can actually make people gods! What a treasure! The materials used to make it must be precious, even more valuable than the Golden Sea, hehehe!"

Jonathan's eyes gleamed with greed; he wanted to find the fragments of the sun disk!
Su Bai and Jonathan continued exploring the tomb. Apart from the slightly eerie atmosphere, there were no other dangers inside, which made Jonathan, who was walking in front, much bolder.

Su Bai, who was silently following behind, thought that Zhan Lan had not contacted him through mental power for a long time. There seemed to be no danger here, but there should be an ability to block mental power scanning.

Another half day passed, and Su Bai and Jonathan encountered Zheng Zha, O'Connor and Eve!
All three were unharmed, and the five of them asked each other questions, sharing their experiences.

"I was suddenly sucked into this tomb. I instinctively grabbed something and ended up grabbing O'Connor. O'Connor grabbed Eve, and the three of us ended up falling together like that," Zheng Zha said truthfully.

"We initially thought there was danger, but there was no danger at all. We even saw a mural, which Eve spent a long time deciphering," Zheng Zha recounted their experience.

Upon hearing "mural," Su Bai interrupted Zheng Zha, "You also saw a mural?"

The two groups experienced almost identical events, and Zheng Zha also did not receive any mission from the main god.

“Yes.” Eve, the female protagonist, spoke with a hint of fervor, “It is a script that is similar to but different from ancient Egyptian writing. I studied it for a long time before I was able to decipher 80% of it.”

"The mural tells the story of a desert emperor named Azir and his slave Xerath."

"Azir is the least favored royal prince, and his future is fraught with hardship."

"Unlike other royal children who received training from the Grim Reaper and the Crocodile God, he could only do lowly jobs."

“By chance, Azir met a slave.”

"Both of them loved reading and research, so they became best friends in private, and he named the slave 'Xerath'."

"But in the imperial environment at that time, slaves were the lowest of the low, and they didn't even deserve to have names."

“Azir doesn’t care about any of that and has become good brothers with ‘Xerath’.”

"Later, the royal family was massacred by assassins, and only Azir survived. He was the rightful first in line to the throne."

"It's just that the emperor and empress at the time didn't like Azir, and the empress was still able to bear children, so the throne still didn't belong to Azir."

"For this reason, his good brother Xerath took advantage of Azir's status as crown prince to gain access to a lot of knowledge. He secretly practiced dark magic and used dark and evil means to eliminate enemies who threatened 'Azir's' succession to the throne."

"Including the prince the queen was newly pregnant with, all of them were cursed to death by the slave 'Xerath' with dark magic."

"With the help of the slave 'Xeras', Azir became the emperor of the desert as he wished."

"Azir once promised to free the slaves and restore Xerath's freedom."

"Azir, who became the emperor of the desert, did not do that. Instead, he continued to use slaves to expand his empire."

"Xerath was disheartened, believing that his friend had betrayed him, so he secretly began to plan to steal the Empire."

"With the process of Renekton becoming a god precedent, Xerath believed that he could also take advantage of the time when others became gods to receive the blessing of the Sun Disc, obtain a godhood, and gain invincible power."

"Therefore, he influenced the desert emperor Azir, causing Azir to have the idea of ​​becoming a god."

"Xerath succeeded. The Desert Emperor used his imperial power to suppress all dissenting voices and prepared to forcibly accept the blessing of the Sun Disc and become a god."

"On the day he became a god, Xerath used his position to send away the only two people who posed a danger to him, Death and Crocodile God. Xerath was already a very powerful dark wizard at this time."

"The Desert Emperor is about to become a god. Before becoming a god, he embraces his slave and friend Xerath and declares that Xerath is free and no longer a slave, and all the slaves in the country are also liberated."

"This is the promise the Desert Emperor made to Xerath, and he has always kept it in mind. Now is the most opportune time."

"Upon hearing all this, Xerath was moved to tears. It turned out that he had been misunderstanding his friend, the Emperor, all along. The Emperor had not forgotten his promise to him."

"But it was all too late. The work that needed to be done had ended there. Ambition had grown too big to stop."

"Xerath, with tears in his eyes, pushed the Desert Emperor off the high platform, and the sun's fire burned the Desert Emperor to death."

"Xerath used dark magic to control those around him, allowing the ritual to continue."

"He received a blessing from the Sun Disc, but he was a god thief, and the ritual malfunctioned, causing the Sun Disc's energy to destroy the entire empire."

“Xerath was a powerful dark wizard who mutated after receiving the blessing of the Sun Disc. He did not become a god, but he became a shimmering aggregate of arcane energy.”

"It is a life form similar to an ancient witch spirit."

"His power is greater than that of Death and Crocodile God."

"Upon learning of the empire's destruction, the Grim Reaper and the Crocodile God returned to fight a great battle against the ancient witch spirits."

"The ancient sorcerer 'Xerath' is so powerful that it cannot be killed; it can only be sealed away using the Imperial Tomb."

"The Crocodile God carried the ancient sorcerer into the Imperial Tomb, calling upon Death, who was also his brother Nasus, to seal them together."

"Death, filled with grief, sealed the Crocodile God and the ancient witch spirit in the imperial tomb."

"Imperial tombs can only be opened by members of the royal bloodline."

At this point, everyone knows that the imperial tomb is now the tomb of the Grim Reaper.

Zheng Zha looked at Su Bai and said, "Ah Bai, the information we've gathered is all wrong."

"This is not the tomb of the Grim Reaper at all; it is the tomb of an emperor. It does not bury the Grim Reaper, nor an emperor, but the Grim Reaper's brother, the Crocodile God, and the ancient sorcerer Xerath."

"There is no death god legacy whatsoever."

Su Bai was silent.

The story in the mural has an ending that wasn't depicted, but he knew what happened next.

The Crocodile God and the Ancient Witch Spirit were imprisoned in the Emperor's Tomb. During the long Blood Moon, the Ancient Witch Spirit used words and dark magic to corrupt the Crocodile God's mind.

Crocodile God had long forgotten his brotherhood with Dog-Headed Death God; his mind was filled with the fact that Dog-Headed Death God had stolen his military merits, which was why he had such a high reputation.

This time, being sealed in the emperor's tomb was also a scheme by the Grim Reaper.

If the seal is broken, Crocodile God will immediately seek revenge on Dog-Headed Death God!

"Quick!" Su Bai suddenly realized and said, "Find Imhotep, but don't let him open the museum. There's no Death God's legacy inside."

"Once the museum opens, the release of the crocodile god and the ancient witch spirit will add many variables."

The group of five began exploring the tomb together. Because there was no danger, they were much bolder. They finally arrived at the center of the tomb, where Imhotep was opening the exhibit.

"Hahaha, you're too late! I'm the one who inherited the Grim Reaper's legacy!"

The mummy 'Imhotep' stands before a black coffin, the seal broken, only the final act of lifting the lid remains.

Upon seeing Su Bai, Zheng Zha, and the others arrive, the mummy 'Imhotep' revealed an arrogant and ferocious expression.

“3000 years ago, I had long coveted the Tomb of the Grim Reaper. You controlled me, and I discovered your power. I decided to use you to open the Tomb of the Grim Reaper.”

"It actually succeeded. My powerful magical knowledge tells me that a suction force will come out the moment it is activated, pulling us in. That will be my opportunity to act."

"Hahaha, I am about to receive the legacy of the Grim Reaper, I will become a god!"

"I want to resurrect Ankula!"

There was no time to stop him; Imhotep yanked open the coffin lid.

There was no inheritance from the God of Death; only the divine essence of the Crocodile God and the bright white energy vortex of the ancient witch spirit rose from the coffin and hovered in mid-air.

Everyone's attention was drawn to it.

"Destruction is coming, nothing can stop me, Nasus will not escape my grasp!" A tyrannical voice echoed.

"I have regained my freedom, I am immortal." A faint voice echoed.

The crocodile god Renekton and the ancient sorcerer Xerath have appeared in the world.

To put it another way, God is equivalent to 'fourth-level high'.

These are two powerful individuals at the 'Advanced Fourth Tier' level.

At the same time, the voice of the Supreme God echoed in Su Bai's and Zheng Zha's minds.
