Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!
Chapter 1764: Wordless Heavenly Scripture
Step by step, as they delved deeper into the Underground Maze, [Red Blood Rose] discovered each level was perfectly clean, devoid of any monsters.
Their speculation was completely correct.
In this city, apart from Yang Yu and his team, no one else could achieve this.
Upon reaching the Fifth Floor, [Red Blood Rose] sensed the odd Magic Power flowing downwards, and they quickened their pace. Finally, on the Eighth Floor, they met Yang Yu and his team returning.
With a smile on his face, Yang Yu greeted [Red Blood Rose]:
"You've arrived, I was just about to find you."
Gordon asked unreservedly, "What was with the strange Magic Power earlier?"
"It's not like I wanted to hide it from you.
It's just that some things can't be revealed too early.
Do you remember the copied pages you received from us before?
It's related to that."
Upon hearing Yang Yu say this, Wanjing Zhuhua couldn't sit still, firing off questions like a machine gun:
"Did you decipher the text above? What exactly does it say? Is there any prophecy that could impact the world?"
"What is recorded above is the truth of the entire world."
Yang Yu spoke calmly, as if he hadn't mentioned anything grand.
He passed by [Red Blood Rose], continuing forward:
"We'll talk as we walk.
This story can't be explained in a few words."
[Red Blood Rose] was skeptical but quickly followed Yang Yu's pace.
Yang Yu slowly recited the song he had heard from [Island Drifting] to [Red Blood Rose]:
"'Walk the path where stars meet, piece together the fragments scattered across the sky, arrange them in the correct position, and the Treasure Box containing the treasure will appear.
Led by the Fairy that records the world, enter the hidden world to find the key to open the Treasure Box.
Only the treasure within the Treasure Box can awaken the Sea Mother.'
This is the legend we heard while sailing the ocean."
Carefully savoring the song, Sena guessed Yang Yu's intention under his prompting:
"Sea Mother?
When researching some books about Sea-dwelling Species, I occasionally encountered this name.
The Sea Mother is said to be the mother of all Sea-dwelling Species, seemingly capable of granting wishes...
Are you looking to gather the fragments scattered in the sky to awaken Sea Mother and make your wish come true?"
Yang Yu said: "The reason legends become legends is because they are too ancient, and the recorded information can't be verified.
Most legends have embellishments.
According to the information I obtained, the Sea Mother indeed exists, and it is, in a certain sense, the mother of all Sea-dwelling Species, but whether it can grant wishes is still unknown.
Anyway, we indeed want to awaken the Sea Mother.
Therefore, we need your Strength."
Taking out a scroll-like item from the System, Yang Yu solemnly handed it to Sena:
"This is the Star Sky treasure map.
We can't gather the fragments scattered in the sky or find the Treasure Box using this treasure map.
We can only rely on your Strength."
Sena was immediately shocked by the material of the scroll she received from Yang Yu's hand.
The scroll, as long as an arm, fell into Sena's hands without any weight, its color as white as snow, and it felt like icy silk.
Sena slowly opened the scroll, and Gordon and the others leaned in curiously to see what kind of map puzzled Yang Yu and his team.
Blinding white greeted Gordon's eyes, as the scroll opened by Sena was a blank canvas without any drawings or letters, just a Wordless Heavenly Scripture.
Exiting the Underground Maze, Yang Yu and his team ignored the soldiers guarding the maze entrance and the onlookers, continuing towards the city outskirts.
After confirming no one was following, Yang Yu finally asked Sena:
"How is it? You should be able to understand it, right?"
Sena was quite conflicted but eventually said truthfully:
"The Star Map on this resembles some star paths I've seen before.
However, I can't understand the text emerging on the Star Map."
"What kind of text? Could you write it down for me?" Without waiting for Yang Yu to speak, Sol Rott said first.
Sena didn't hesitate, asked Yang Yu for a sheet of paper, mimicked the text she saw, and handed it to Sol Rott.
Upon seeing it, Sol Rott immediately replied: "This is telling you to touch that spot."
"Touch? Like this?" Sena touched the map and panicked, "I seem to have accidentally erased the map, and now there's a whole bunch of incomprehensible symbols."
"The map isn't really gone. Anyway, copy those letters down for me to see!"
Sena, following Sol Rott's request, copied down the inscriptions once more and handed them to him.
After reading the text, Sol Rott sighed:
"Even if led by someone with a Star Eye, we may not necessarily find the final treasure.
We need to solve riddles and adjust the star sky.
Perhaps this is what the song described as 'piece together the fragments scattered in the sky, arrange them in the correct position.'
Anyway, let's head to the first location.
Miss, please touch each area on the map, copy down all the text, and let me translate it.
Find the starting point on the map."
"I understand. Although it's a bit troublesome, it's the only way."
Laying a piece of paper over the scroll, Sena traced the inscriptions like copying from a template.
Gordon and Wanjing Zhuhua glanced at the script Sena wrote, realizing they matched those on earlier pages, thinking:
"Who exactly is this middle-aged man?
Isn't it said only the Nine-Life Cat Demon can read these writings?"
Could it be... this gentleman is a legendary human-shaped Nine-Life Cat Demon?"
Gordon and Wanjing Zhuhua couldn't help but imagine Sol Rott with a cat's tail and ears, finding it strangely amusing.
After a quick read, Sol Rott instructed Sena, familiarizing her with the scroll's operations.
Quickly, Sena got the hang of it, writing down all the text without a hitch.
Sol Rott translated, marked hints for each location, and handed the clues to Yang Yu.
Sol Rott, being a warrior skilled in combat, couldn't freely decipher each puzzle due to his knowledge, so this task naturally fell to Yang Yu.
Unknowingly reaching outside the city, Yang Yu found a secluded spot, sat cross-legged, and pondered the riddles.
Each hint was extremely complex, and Yang Yu couldn't completely solve the puzzles alone.
Luckily, Bai Jin and her team knew at least some of the magical knowledge Yang Yu lacked.
