Chapter 207 Joint Rule by Two Emperors
"I also came across this history in church records."
"This is not surprising. When the Seven Gods united, this outcome was almost inevitable."
"Shael" didn't care much. All seven gods had been beaten before. Despite their usual arrogance, when truly pinned down and hammered, they united faster than anyone else. Either they had died once, like the Earth Mother Goddess, or their divine positions came too easily, like Feng Zhibai, the God of War...
So, it seems that Grisha obtained his divine position rather easily.
"Xia'er" good age starts from sequence 5, and you need to find the subsequent characteristics yourself.
Grisha starts with the full set of extraordinary characteristics of the Sun and the Hanged Man pathways.
For those currently occupying position 0 in sequence, becoming a god seems quite easy.
"Destined?"
"Although the Primal and Death were defeated in that war, it completely changed the world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or landscape of the world).
"The oceans of the northern and southern continents widened by a factor of two, turbulent currents and storms shrouded the land, vast tracts of land were submerged, north-south transportation was severed, the gods no longer roamed the earth, the Fourth Age came to an end, the Age of the Gods ended, and the extraordinary disappeared into the background..."
The "Saintess of a Hundred" still seemed a little regretful when she got to this point.
Although the Pale War was dangerous, it was the most suitable time to advance to the angelic rank. A large part of the "Disaster" witches in the Witch Church advanced during the Pale War. She also had the opportunity at that time, but ultimately chose to remain at the rank of saint.
Angels... are ultimately not as wonderful as imagined.
time flies.
Friday, January 12th.
That evening, Derrick's expedition team arrived at the temple of the true creator and met the little boy Jack.
Jack's father was a member of the Aurora Pilgrims. The entire pilgrimage group perished on their journey to find the true sanctuary of the Creator, but this little boy seemed to be favored by fate, surviving and appearing at this temple.
After Derrick and the others came into contact with Jack, they became trapped in a cycle of fate that kept Jack "immortal," and they started getting stuck in a daze.
Fortunately, Lovia was in the team; otherwise, the Silver City group, even with a demigod leading them, wouldn't have realized they were stuck.
On the same day, Klein also came into contact with the ruins beneath Williams Street once again.
This time, he went to explore alone.
Because the employer was very generous this time; it's just a matter of clearing out any potential crowds underground, right?
Do you understand the value of a Sequence 7 Extraordinary?
Wearing a sun brooch, Klein cautiously entered the underground secret door, summoning the Holy Light Disc Machine to drive away those who had long lived there.
After passing the swarm of snakes that prefer shade to sunlight, he walked through a long passageway and saw a building that was clearly not of a modern style.
A tall, domed ceiling with vertical metal rods, inverted candlesticks carved with different creatures, and walls adorned with cleavage-like patterns.
This allowed the history graduate to recognize that it was an architectural style from the Fourth Age.
It's difficult to tell whether it belongs to the Solomon Empire, the Tudor Dynasty, or the Tronsust Empire, as these dynasties all have similar architectural styles, valuing black and emphasizing a chaotic and asymmetrical architectural style.
"This is a groundbreaking discovery that has shocked the archaeological world."
Klein counted the number of candlesticks: 41 on the left and 40 on the right. This was a specification that only high-ranking nobles could use. Ordinary commoners could only have 3 on the left and 2 on the right at most, and the consequences of violating the law were severe.
He continued walking forward with the lantern in his hand and saw two black iron chairs placed on the stone platform at the top.
This was against the rules of the Fourth Age.
The Fourth Era is characterized by absolute, insurmountable class divisions. Any entity attempting to challenge the rules will be severely punished. The only possible exception is...:
"Is this an early building from the Solomon Empire?"
Klein suspected that many papers mentioned that after the Solomon Empire unified the northern continent, in order to facilitate the governance of its vast territory,
Thus, the dual-emperor system was established, in which the entire Solomon Empire was governed by two emperors, a principal emperor and a deputy emperor.
The "Black Emperor" is the supreme leader of the Solomon Empire. Each Black Emperor appoints an assistant and successor, known as the "White Emperor," to jointly govern the vast territory.
This policy did indeed solidify the Solomon Empire's rule over the northern continent in its early stages, but it also sowed the seeds for the empire's later downfall and fragmentation.
"The Solomon Empire revered the left, and even in terms of the number of candlesticks, the candlesticks on the left were placed one level higher than those on the right."
"If this is a building from the Solomon Empire, does the ancient chair on the left correspond to the Black Emperor? And the ancient chair on the right correspond to the White Emperor?"
Klein looked at the two huge black iron chairs and made guesses.
There are very few historical records of the Fourth Age, and hardly any historical materials at all. Now that they have found a building that seems to be from the Fourth Age, Klein is quite excited. He is also a bit of a history buff.
"The architectural style is grand and massive, which is a characteristic of the Fourth Age."
Klein looked at the three or four-meter-long chair that seemed to be for giants and became even more certain.
"There are also emblems on the back of the chair... a black crown, and a hand holding a scepter."
Klein looked them over, his lips twitched, and he didn't recognize any of them.
There is absolutely no record of this in history textbooks or academic papers.
"Never mind, although I don't know which family it specifically symbolizes, in the Fourth Age, those who dare to use crowns and scepters as emblems are basically inseparable from royalty."
Klein sighed. There were very few historical records of the Fourth Age. He continued walking deeper into the hall by the light of the lantern. There were seven tall, heavy black stone doors on the wall at the bottom.
These stone gates are arranged in a row, two on the left, one in the middle, and four on the right, perfectly conforming to the asymmetrical style of the Fourth Age.
"I should start from the left."
Klein tossed a coin, but didn't find any danger in the divination, so he walked directly to the leftmost stone door.
He raised the lantern and examined the symbols and patterns on the door.
Against a deep black background, countless stars twinkle, surrounding a crimson circle that is half-hidden.
"The Holy Symbol of Night?"
"Is this the mark of a goddess?"
Klein was startled, but quickly calmed down. There seemed to be no problem that the Church of the Night was a widely accepted orthodox faith in the Fourth Age.
He placed his hand on the stone door and pushed it. Although a long time had passed, the door was not locked. It was of quite good quality and could be opened with a little force.
The craftsmen of that time were really skilled.
Klein cautiously walked in and saw the statue of the Goddess of Night. Her face was hazy and beautiful, and she wore a layered but not complicated black classical dress. The hem of the dress seemed to be adorned with stars, but upon closer inspection, they turned out to be sparkling gems. Her head was resting on a full moon, and she was lying on the platform with her right hand supporting her head.
Klein felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow. The first thought that popped into his mind was, if a tomb raider came in, who would be so greedy as to risk their life to try and pry open the gems on the goddess's dress?
