Light Fortress

"Twenty years ago, because of a ’task’ from the Federation Council, Gu Changzhi traveled to the world outside the North Continent Fortress..."

After the task ended, upon returning to Changye, he fell into a deep sleep."

"As he slumbered, contradictions gradually emerged within the Gu family, becoming increasingly acute until, finally... the old faction spent a huge cost to construct this ’Qing Tomb,’ initially intended to gather the dispersed Extraordinary Essence and awaken the person in eternal slumber."

The Tomb Guardian said this, then laughed at himself, "Later... as you also know, the sleeper did not awaken, yet Changye gradually became peaceful."

Gu Shen listened quietly, contemplative.

After the [Qing Tomb] was constructed, both the old and new factions discovered the marvelous utility of this ’miraculous place,’ as a vast amount of disordered essence was absorbed, providing unprecedented stability to the whole Changye District... in other words, if truly one day chaos collapses, and doom descends, the powerful force emitted by Qing Tomb could also sufficiently provide sanctuary for the peace and tranquility of Changye."

"There is a thick fog enveloping the inner tomb, making it inaccessible to ordinary people." The Tomb Guardian slowly said: "Before [Qing Tomb] was erected, this was an ancient ruin with a long history, already abandoned for hundreds of years, but due to the reactivation of Array Patterns soaked in Extraordinary Essence... this ancient ruin underwent a marvelous transformation..."

A marvelous transformation?" Gu Shen recalled the giant statues he had seen earlier, as well as the stone seat he had touched.

"The world of the inner tomb... has become an uncertain state..."

The Tomb Guardian muttered, "If [Qing Tomb] stops functioning and the Extraordinary Essence dissipates, the fog recedes, then I do not know if these ancient statues and the entire ruins can remain above ground."
