For hundreds of years, the eternal sleepers who were dormant underground in the old capital of Tifeng were trying to find ways to learn from an ancient device and analyze the secrets of the gods. They once thought that the device with a powerful imprisonment was a cage to imprison some of the fragments of the gods, but they never thought that the thing was actually a container and altar specially built for the gods - it carried the eyes of the gods.

This is undoubtedly a great irony, and... horror.

The only luck of the Eternal Sleepers is that the constraint facility from ancient times has malfunctioned, and the "Eye of God" that houses it has been truly blocked. It cannot return to the divine realm for the time being, but can only be locked on the "throne" originally prepared for it like a real prisoner. This did not trigger a divine disaster that was as powerful as the "upper narrator incident" back then.

There are only two choices left for the Eternal Sleeper, either completely destroying the "Eye of God" in the constraint field, or using some method to steadily isolate the Eye of God from the God Realm forever to ensure that even if the constraint device fails one day, that eye will not "tell" the gods what it sees.

Gao Wen frowned and looked at the starlight aggregate floating opposite: "Alandale collapse was caused by you in the process of trying to destroy or seal the Eye of God?"

"It's one of the reasons, but not entirely because of us," Megel III's tone suddenly became a little weird, as if he sighed at the impermanence of fate. "We finally decided to destroy the Eye of God and formulated a plan for this. During the hundreds of years of research, we have already gained a certain understanding of the ancient restraint device and were able to make more control and adjustments. We found that closing its inner ring stable structure at the right time can cause huge energy shocks in the constraint field. If the charging level of the outer ring area is adjusted to the highest, this shock can even completely annihilate the power of the gods in the center of the energy field...

“After sufficient discussion and calculation, we are ready to implement this scheme – and for this, it takes some time to charge the outer ring of the constraint device.

"The accident happened at this stage - you still remember that the entire ancient ruins were underground in the old capital of the Tifeng Empire, Orlandell.

"While we were working on adjusting the restraint, the Augustus family suddenly decided to renovate the city's drainage facilities - now it seems that all this is too coincidental, but no one discovered this at that time - the urban drainage facilities in that era were very backward, you know that there was no difference between Tifeng and Old Ansu more than two hundred years ago. The so-called urban drainage channel is an underground river that just passes through Orlandaill. People discharge all the dirty water there. Except for the underground river and limited ditches, most of the city has no sewers. In this case, the Tifeng royal family suddenly wanted to build an artificial sewer outside the main urban area, so they began to dig down...

"They dug very deeply, but initially did not touch the "door layer" of the underground palace, but strange things still happened: the workers in charge of excavation had hallucinations underground. As more and more soil and rocks were transported out, the mental state of the diggers became worse. At first, the nobles did not care about the state of the civilian workers. Instead, they suspected that they were lazy and forced them to work underground for a longer time. But soon, the hallucinations began to extend to the supervisors and even the knights stationed near the excavation site...

"When there was an abnormality in the local surface, we focused most of our attention underground, so that until more and more excavators lost control and the royal family of Tifeng even began to send elemental mages to lift the ground and try to dissolve the rock formations, we suddenly realized one thing:

"I don't know when the restraint device has weakened. The 'Eye of God' has its own consciousness. It secretly spreads its own power without arousing our alertness. Through years of infiltration and pollution, it has affected the residents of Orlandae - and even the royal family that ruled Orlandae."

Amber, who was standing aside, couldn't help swallowing: "And...what?"

"The situation began to get out of control - some members of the royal family and a large number of workers, supervisors, and nobles sent to dig holes were polluted, and they began to dig down frantically, and the mages loyal to the royal family also participated. Under the invasion of powerful magic, the various protections we set up failed. They quickly dug a large hole in the center of Orlandaill and found the dome of the underground palace. Then the dome was also dug open, and the Royal Knights and Mages flocked in.

"The whole Orlandell was shrouded in a strange, fearful, and tense atmosphere. The civilians didn't know what happened. The little nobles and merchants were frightened by this crazy excavation. All kinds of rumors spread everywhere. Another high-level nobles said that treasures were found underground, which further aggravated the chaos in the city...

"The Cult of the Eternal Sleeping Clan has no power to stop all this, and more importantly... the Eye of God has begun to show a tendency to be activated.

"It knows what we are going to do, it resists. The members of the Eternal Sleeper Clan are powerful spiritual mages and have firmly resisted the gods. When they are suppressed by the restraint device, it has no choice but to do anything to us, so it transforms those unprepared people on the surface into tools. When the royal knights entered the underground palace and began to destroy the energy stations everywhere, the Eye of God also began to impact the magnetic cage of the restraint device. The energy we originally planned to use to annihilate the Eye of God was not ready yet, so we rashly activated the arrangement, which was very likely to let the Eye of God escape from the force field and return to the God Realm...

"My only choice at that time was to stop the out of control, crazy diggers, and to stop the Typhon royal family who kept sending more knights in the rear.

"I and several archbishops ventured from other passages to the surface and sneaked into the castle of the Augustus family. What surprised us was that half of the nobles and a considerable number of royal members in the castle were still trying to resist the erosion of the Eye of God, and even the Emperor himself... was barely rational.

"Most of the diggers and knights who flocked into the underground palace were not sent by them, and no one knew who gave the people the order to continuously dig and invade the underground palace. A small half of them were sent by the emperor who barely remained rational to stop and investigate the situation, but they immediately went crazy after entering the underground palace and lost contact with the castle. The castle could not receive news, and its judgment function was in a state of chaos, so they continued to send more investigation teams, and more people flocked to the underground palace.

"Luckily, after establishing a strong spiritual barrier, we allowed the emperor and some ministers to escape the erosion of the Eye of God. When the Royal Guards surrounded me, I told the truth about the underground to Emperor Tifeng at that time.

"Of course, I didn't tell the emperor that behind the "Eye of God" was a "true God" in the minds of the masses, because normal people's views on gods are obviously very different from our views on gods. I told him that it was a crazy evil god, and our research and excavation work on the surface awakened Him together.

"We—the people underground and the people on the ground—were all a big mess, but we had no time to hold the matter accountable. After quickly judging the situation in the underground palace, the emperor decided to evacuate the entire city, evacuate all the uncontaminated people, and create an unmanned land outside the city. During this period, we activated the underground annihilation plan and completely destroyed the Eye of God."

Gao Wen nodded gently: "Evacuate civilians, create mental isolation belts to prevent the spread of mental pollution, and destroy the pollution center... The idea is correct, then what?"

Mergol III was silent for a moment, with a sigh in his tone: "Driven by the Knights and the nobles, the evacuation was soon completed. After returning to the underground palace, several Archbishops blocked all the passages in the inner layer to block the crazy knights and diggers who had entered the underground palace. This successfully delayed for some time. At the agreed moment, the energy was finally enough. We successfully triggered the energy shock of the restraint device. The Eye of God was destroyed in the powerful impact - we began to cheer, until the wrath of the earth and the annihilation of the Creation of Annihilation hit our dome one after another."

Amber blinked and spread her hands: "...as I thought."

"We didn't expect it at that time," said Mergol III in a self-deprecating tone. "We are a group of... researchers, perhaps extreme researchers, we are dark sects, depravity, paranoid, cold, and chose a terrible path, but after all this, our identity is still a group of researchers-that includes myself.

"The researcher's head is not good at guessing the wrath of the earth and the annihilation that falls on his head."

"Emperor Tifeng made a cold decision two hundred years ago, but do you want to hear my opinion?" Gao Wen said slowly, his eyes falling on the starry light aggregate.

“…It’s reasonable, is it?”

"It's reasonable," Gao Wen nodded slightly, "If you failed to destroy the Eye of God at that time, the Orlandal area would be the source of the disaster. Destroying the entire area may not stop the arrival of the "evil god", but at least it may delay the evacuation of others. If you successfully destroyed the Eye of God, then Emperor Tifeng would not keep you from living on the other side - you are a dark sect, and in the imperial capital, it has been breeding for hundreds of years under the noses of the royal family. To some extent, you even have the ability to cause turmoil in the entire empire, which is something that no ruler can tolerate.

"So no matter what the result is, you all have to die in Orlandae."

"I figured it out later," said Mergol III with a chuckling, "many of us figured out that out."

"But you can't find an empire to take revenge - especially after suffering heavy damage," said Gao Wen slowly, "More importantly, as time goes by, more and more new generations of believers are added, the Sleeper Clan will eventually forget everything that happened in Orlandell, and the Augustus family will also believe that there will be no survivors when the entire city collapses. With the technical conditions at that time and the chaos after the capital move, they should not be able to check the situation deep underground in detail - this terrible event that may leave stains on the royal family will be buried, and everyone will forget it, and even if someone remembers it, it will never be recognized.

"On the other hand, the later facts proved that Emperor Tifeng's judgment was actually very accurate - just two hundred years later, you group of "researchers" who were not subject to legal and moral constraints created the second "divine disaster" on the spot. This time, the divine disaster was even the gods you created yourself.

“If I didn’t show up, how big a disaster would the upper narrators cause?

"I believe that the scale of the disaster is definitely worthy of the Typhoon Royal family sending their mages to smash the entire Orlandal area and all of you with the Annihilation Creation."

Mergol III's star body contracted, his tone was full of helplessness: "...extremely sarcastic, undeniable."

"So it's just a word to summarize-" Gao Wen sighed softly, "It's time."

Mergol: “…”

"We won't discuss this topic anymore," Gao Wen shook his head and revealed this paragraph. "Now there is evidence that your destruction of the Eye of God did not seem to be completely successful - the spiritual pollution of the gods has remained, and the curse of the Augustus family is evidence."

"We suspect that the Eye of God escaped at the last moment of its destruction, but after all, it suffered a severe blow. It did not have the ability to return to the gods, so it parasitized in the blood of Augustus," replied Megol III. "For two hundred years, this curse has continued, and it has not been enhanced or weakened. Some of us have extended our lives. The Archbishops who experienced the events of that year even believed that this was the price paid by the Augustus family after the 'betrayal'... Of course, after the 'upper narrators' incident, the mentality of these archbishops should have changed, after all, the blow was too big."

Gowen now understands why the Archbishops of the Eternal Sleeper followed Cecil so firmly - the deterrence of his "outer-territorial wanderer" is only one of the reasons, and the remaining factors are obviously related to the disaster in Orlandell two hundred years ago.

In addition, what he was most concerned about at this moment was the curse of the Augustus family.

"Do you think the 'Eye of God' will recover after entering the bloodline of the Augustus family. Can you escape?" He frowned and asked in a deep voice with a serious expression.

"The possibility is very low," replied Megol III. "We have been paying attention to the curse of the Augustus family. The curse has obviously become a pure, similar thing to the sequelae of spiritual pollution. Moreover, with the dilution and transformation of generations of blood, the 'god part' in this curse can only become weaker and weaker. After all, the soul position of the mortal is far lower than that of the gods. The power of the gods is parasitic in the souls of mortals for a long time and is destined to decline continuously. Of course, what is declining is only the 'godness' in the curse, and the strength of the curse itself... has not seemed to be weaker in the past two hundred years."
