Chapter 1500: Chapter 482: Gatekeeper of the Heavenly Court

The underground fortress is very complex.

Capricorn had already sensed this earlier. He felt it was a maze made complex for the sake of being complex.

But as he went deeper, he realized that even calling it a maze couldn’t quite describe this place.

"What would happen if I used brute force to destroy these tunnels?" Capricorn asked.

Jin Zhenyuan replied, "The Longxia People are hospitable, but if guests go crazy, they have ways to handle it."

"You should know, currently, no one dares to rampage here because that monster can sense ’hostility.’"

"You understand, right?"

Capricorn understood.

If the tunnels were destroyed, it would likely trigger sensory devices, setting off invasion alarms. This would lead the Longxia People to release that monster at all costs.

"What kind of monster is it exactly?" Capricorn was curious.

Jin Zhenyuan said:

"The Swan Project actually started out as the Celestial Plan. But it didn’t have a global feel, so it was changed to the Swan Project."

"Do you know about the Celestial Palace? The Jade Emperor, Erlang Shen, the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, Nezha..."

"These are all well-known deities in Longxia, of course. There are also various monsters or divine beasts, you know, many many more, corresponding to God, the King God, the Plutarch, Thor, Gayemedes, Shiva Brahma. Roughly speaking, I’m not sure either. In short, Longxia’s mythology is extremely complex."

"But complexity also means abundance. And the biggest feature of the apocalypse we faced is called the resurgence of gods and monsters, making its mark on reality. I’ve heard the Lion Heart Country has vampires now, right?"

"I’ve also heard from Aries that she’s collecting myths from around the world, creating a Divine Demon Breeding Farm, also known as a Mythical Breeding Farm, right?"

Capricorn nodded, he understood:

"So, the Longxia God... is a fusion god?"

Jin Zhenyuan said:

"Yes, it’s a fusion of all local Longxia deities and monsters. Of course, whether these gods are truly ’invited’ is unclear."

"Even if just two people are fused into one, this person would become stronger, and the Chosen Train continually brings the best people from the apocalypse for fusion."

"For instance, you’re very strong, you can beat me, but can you beat Albert? Albert might be more violent with single-minded methods, whereas my abilities are diverse. What if I fused with Albert?"

"And over the years of the apocalypse, Longxia has been a country rich in talent... Do you know how many warriors we’ve fused in?"

"Not to mention, those carriers of mythology might have been fused in as well."

"So, you should know how terrifying this monster is."

Capricorn clearly understood that this was likely a super being even Leon couldn’t confidently handle. Only now did he grasp the complexity and source of all this.

The Longxia People... are indeed crazy.

Capricorn said, "This kind of fusion inevitably leads to... severe side effects."

Jin Zhenyuan sighed, "Yes, it’s a mad thing. It’s uncontrollable."

"So all I can think of is to release it somewhere, then leave the battlefield ourselves, let it wreak havoc, and afterward use your power to trap it back into a cage where it can be kept in check."

Capricorn felt a bit uncertain:

"Can I... really do that?"

"This thing, from your description, seems like a nuclear bomb from the Three Towers era."

Jin Zhenyuan said, "Yes, exactly like a nuclear bomb from the Three Towers era. And your space authority is at its peak, the most powerful existence of the Three Towers era; only you can transport this nuclear bomb and also retrieve it."

Capricorn asked again:

"Isn’t there any way to make it... unified?"

Jin Zhenyuan shook his head:

"I once thought there might be a way, like the Heart of Fusion, but now you also know, the Heart of Fusion has an ulterior motive, whether it’s used to fuse the constellations or used on that monster..."

"All might ultimately be making a wedding dress for others."

Capricorn fell silent.

He suddenly felt that all beings, even constellations, might be mere chess pieces, only these players are very well hidden, each waiting for a chance to ’control’ the pieces.

Even... Jin Zhenyuan might be one such player.

Can he truly trust him?

He thought for a moment and still decided to cooperate for now.

"You guys really know your tunnels well, I have to say."

Jin Zhenyuan replied:

"Longxia indeed went through an apocalypse once, a century before the apocalypse arrived. Back then, Longxia was invaded by foreign countries, and due to lagging technology, they endured an extremely brutal war, comparable to the apocalypse."

"To defeat the enemy, many Longxia citizens built tunnels, and tunnel warfare was the crystallization of wisdom from the Longxia People."

"We face the apocalypse, unwilling to flee our homeland, we emphasize returning to our roots."

"So our neighbors chose the sky, while we chose the underground fortress."

"The bunker wasn’t originally called a bunker; it was a special space. But because I was the first person to take responsibility and lead a group to the bunker, I named that place the Bunker."

"It also reflects a sentiment of homesickness. However, later on, since everyone started calling it that, the name was solidified as just the Bunker."

Capricorn knew of the Bunker and the Three Towers, but hadn’t known that the name ’Bunker’ was due to Jin Zhenyuan’s longing for the underground fortress.

Can’t deny, this old guy is indeed a legendary figure.
