#481 - Chapter 470 Charles I
“That went smoother than expected.”
Walking out of the main hall, Jiang Han said with a smile.
“Actually, it's quite reasonable. If it weren't for you, the entire Dragon Phoenix Empire would have fallen. Recovering the lost territories would have taken who knows how long. Just entering the cemetery, no one would object,” Sophia said.
Jiang Han nodded, not saying much.
Soon, led by Sophia, the two arrived in front of a cemetery.
To Jiang Han's surprise, this royal cemetery was not as luxurious as he had imagined; its scale could only be considered moderate.
However, the overall atmosphere was solemn and dignified. In short, it was simple yet retained royal grandeur, showing the extraordinary design.
The cemetery had no guards, nor was there any need for them.
The two proceeded along the path.
According to Sophia, their ancestor who participated in the God War was the founder of the Dragon Phoenix Empire, and his tombstone was located at the deepest part of the cemetery.
Soon, Jiang Han saw the tomb.
Besides a tombstone, there was also a ten-meter-high statue next to it. It depicted a handsome middle-aged man in a purple robe, holding a staff, looking very majestic.
“This is our ancestor, the original founder of the Dragon Phoenix Empire.”
Sophia looked at the statue with reverence. “According to the secret records of our clan, if it weren't for the ancestor standing up at the most critical moment and fighting back-to-back with the strongest human, not only the Dragon Phoenix Empire, but perhaps even humanity would have been in danger of destruction.”
“There's such a secret history,” Jiang Han raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
“Not only our clan, but the royal families of other empires also have corresponding records,” Sophia said. “That was indeed a dark period of history.”
“I don't doubt it; humanity also gained a firm foothold at that time,” Jiang Han nodded.
Although it was just a brief mention, he had seen at the God Tree how humanity emerged from blood and fire in ancient times.
As he spoke, Jiang Han glanced back. In the rear, Charles XXI and two white-bearded, white-haired old men quietly followed.
“Let's begin.”
Jiang Han stretched out his right hand, and the Reincarnation Seal floated up.
Buzz!
The next moment, the Reincarnation Seal trembled slightly, and purple light rose.
Subsequently, rays of light gathered from the surroundings, like stars in the night sky.
“Is this the legendary Holy Judgment Tool? Such peculiar energy fluctuations,” Charles XXI said, looking at the Reincarnation Seal with admiration.
“I can feel the power of souls fluctuating; this peculiar power is truly extraordinary,” the old man to the right of Charles XXI also exclaimed.
“Today, we are truly fortunate to witness the heroic figure of our ancestor.”
Another old man was trembling slightly with excitement.
They were all core figures of the royal family, and also top experts guarding the royal line. They had even been qualified to compete for the position of Sequence, but ultimately failed and retreated to the rear, maintaining the stability of the royal family.
In terms of strength, they were definitely among the top tier besides the Sequence members, on par with the controllers of top forces such as the Supreme Hall.
They were the true pillars of the Dragon Phoenix Empire, and also the foundation of the empire.
When Karami rebelled, he had calculated that these two were not present; otherwise, the situation would have been different.
Yet, even these two powerful beings were as excited as children when facing the Reincarnation Seal.
Time slowly passed.
Under the traction of the Reincarnation Seal, numerous light spots gradually converged into a figure.
“It's the ancestor.”
Sophia recognized at a glance that this figure was the founder of the Dragon Phoenix Empire, Charles I.
She bowed respectfully, her eyes full of excitement.
For this legendary figure of the Dragon Phoenix Empire, she had unparalleled respect in her heart since childhood.
Or rather, every member of the royal family grew up under the influence of the legend of Charles I.
The feeling of being able to see one's ancestors with one's own eyes was something that others could not understand.
“Greetings, Ancestor!”
In the rear, Charles XXI and the two royal guardians also hurried forward, bowing excitedly, their eyes similarly filled with unconcealable reverence.
“What a peculiar feeling. I should have long dissipated into the world.”
“Where is this place?”
“Who are you people?”
Charles I was clearly not as powerful as Lucifer. Even after such a long time, he could not sense what was happening and was in a state of confusion.
He looked at Jiang Han and the others, one question after another popping up.
“This is the Dragon Phoenix Empire, but it is the Dragon Phoenix Empire ten thousand years later.”
“Using the power of the Holy Judgment Tool, the remnant soul reappears in the world…”
Jiang Han spoke, explaining the whole story in a calm and unhurried tone.
“I see.”
“Using the power of the Holy Judgment, even I, who disappeared for so long, can briefly reappear in the world.”
Charles I was, after all, a former top expert of the human race. After listening to Jiang Han's explanation, he quickly accepted reality.
He looked down at his illusory hands and smiled slightly. “To think that a dead man like me can witness the years of ten thousand years later in this way is quite interesting.”
Charles I looked up, looked around, and then said with great relief, “Since the human race has not been destroyed, then it shows that our decision at that time was correct. The false gods have been expelled.”
“Indeed.”
Jiang Han nodded. “For ten thousand years, they have hardly set foot on this land, but…”
“But what?” Charles I frowned.
“Perhaps in the near future, the false gods will land here again,” Jiang Han said. “This time, they will surely come with the determination to destroy the Lost Continent.”
“Is that so…”
Charles I looked at Jiang Han thoughtfully. “Then you summoned my remnant soul, you should also want to inquire about the affairs of the false gods, right?”
“Yes,” Jiang Han nodded.
“Then, tell me, as long as I know, I will naturally tell you,” Charles I said.
“It's very simple. I want to know how the human race expelled the false gods back then.”
Jiang Han said, “Even with the help of the God Tree, the gap between the human race and the false gods is still like a chasm, not so easy to cross under normal circumstances.”
“Indeed.”
Charles I nodded: “The power of the false gods is too powerful, even if the entire power of the human race is gathered, it cannot compete with them.”
“So what's the key?” Jiang Han asked curiously.
“Actually, it's very simple.”
Charles I said with a smile: “In general, it's just four words.”
“What?” Jiang Han asked.
Charles I said lightly: “The power of the plane.”
