Chapter 218: The Ancient Net Returns Once More
“Have all the native gods of the Primordial Wilderness already fallen?”
Li Shun swept his gaze across the surroundings. As far as the eye could see, endless ruins stretched into the distance, resembling the colossal remains of dead, ancient beasts.
From the majestic outlines of these broken walls and shattered structures alone, one could imagine how magnificent and imposing this place must once have been.
Yet, after suffering some indescribable catastrophe, this legendary Ancient Heavenly Court, which had once stood high above the world, had completely fallen into a dead domain.
Since there was no longer any way to retreat the way he had come, Li Shun decided to make use of the final traces of time remaining within this Primordial Wilderness illusion. He ventured alone into the ruins of the Heavenly Court, hoping to uncover even the slightest clues regarding the ancient catastrophe that had destroyed this place.
And sure enough, Li Shun discovered something deeply unsettling.
Throughout the countless magnificent ruins around him, he could not find the slightest trace of destruction caused by external force. There were no marks left by divine abilities, nor any evidence of blades, axes, or other weapons.
Instead, the ruins seemed to have had their very essence drained away by some unknown force. As the years passed, they had simply peeled apart and collapsed on their own.
These remains, which had once been constructed from unknown immortal materials, had long since lost their original indestructibility and solidity. They retained only their magnificent outer appearance, while everything within had already decayed into something resembling flying ash.
