Chapter 2112 - 1679: Broken Divine Weapons, Relics of the Gods’ War

Standing at the door of the Divine Weapon Forging Tower, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but hesitate, "But it shouldn’t be like this. If they encountered some misfortune, there should be some sound, right? Why is there no strange noise inside at all?"

No one could answer Gu Changsheng’s question, because those treasure hunters who went in first had already disappeared behind the tower door, and despite their many doubts, they eventually had to step into the tower!

The group looked at each other. Fufeng Tianlan and their two servants followed Shi Wujue, with Zhou Mu leading, and Gu Changsheng bringing up the rear. Finally, the group lifted their feet and stepped into the Divine Weapon Forging Tower!

When Zhou Mu and the others entered, it was fine. But the moment Gu Changsheng at the rear stepped into the Divine Weapon Forging Tower, a loud rumbling sound came from behind him!

"Boom!"

"Damn!" As soon as he stepped into the Divine Weapon Forging Tower, such a loud noise came from behind, scaring Gu Changsheng to leap far forward.

And almost the instant Gu Changsheng’s foot landed, the originally pitch-black Divine Weapon Forging Tower, which could only be illuminated by the Luminous Pearls in the hands of Yuan Bao and others, was suddenly brightly lit!

Countless Ever-bright Lanterns lit up all around, making the surroundings brightly illuminated!

"What... what is this ghost?" Gu Changsheng looked back uncertainly, watching the newly closed door of the Divine Weapon Forging Tower, his mouth twitched, and walked over disbelievingly to give it a pat!

Well, it’s shut tight, as if this door never existed!

And Zhou Mu also returned, standing behind Gu Changsheng.

"Evildoer, it’s happening again..." Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but look back at Zhou Mu, mumbling blankly.

It’s her again!

Everyone else went in without incident, but just after she entered, the door of the Divine Weapon Forging Tower closed!

This...

What kind of situation is this!

For a moment, Gu Changsheng really wanted to curse!

"So many weapons!"

And at this moment, Snake Piaopiao, who was walking in front, dragged her snake tail and glided continuously, couldn’t help but exclaim, "So many broken weapons..."

When Gu Changsheng and others heard this, their eyes were finally drawn away, no longer fixated on the newly closed tower door, and looked inside the Divine Weapon Forging Tower...

Sure enough, as Snake Piaopiao said, there were many weapons!

In sight, there were broken weapons scattered everywhere – sabers, spears, swords, halberds, ropes, clubs... whatever you could think of, and yet hadn’t seen, and these weapons’ designs were incredibly simple yet ancient. Vaguely, a faint golden light emanated from the broken weapons, illuminating the entire ground in a bizarre manner...

"These... these weapons..."

And Shi Wujue looked at these weapons, completely stunned, his whole person was somewhat struck by lightning.

"What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with these weapons?" Gu Changsheng immediately questioned.

"Divine Weapons... These broken weapons were once Divine Weapons!" Shi Wujue shook his head in bewilderment, his world-shattering face filled with shock.

"What’s strange about that? This is a Divine Weapon Forging Tower. Who knows how many Divine Weapons are collected inside? That’s quite normal!" Gu Changsheng replied with a faint smile.

Every year, Smelting City sends Divine Weapons into the Divine Weapon Forging Tower. Probably nothing else is abundant here, but there are the most Divine Weapons!

"No! It’s not like that! These are truly Divine Weapons! Divine Level Weapons, the weapons of Deities!" Shi Wujue shook his head, bent down slowly, and reached out to touch the broken weapons on the ground...

A faint golden light flickered, and almost at the moment Shi Wujue stretched out his hand, a streak of golden light brushed past Shi Wujue’s fingertips, leaving a wound on his hand!

"Shi Wujue!"

"Cousin!"

Gu Changsheng and Fufeng Tianlan exclaimed immediately.

Gu Changsheng acted more directly, directly stepped forward, and pulled Shi Wujue up, "Yuan Bao, quick, bandage him!"

After instructing Yuan Bao, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but reproach Shi Wujue, "What were you doing? Since you found out there’s something wrong with these broken weapons, why did you still want to touch them?"

"These are indeed Divine Weapons! Truly Divine Weapons! Divine Level Weapons!" Shi Wujue let Yuan Bao bandage his wound, dazedly said, "These were once the weapons of Deities, even though they’re now broken, they’re not for us mortals to touch! But, why are there so many broken Divine Level Weapons here? What is this Divine Weapon Forging Tower exactly?"

Shi Wujue said these words while constantly surveying the surroundings, and Gu Changsheng was also observing the surroundings.

Now, within the Divine Weapon Forging Tower, it was brightly lit, and everything was clearly visible. Moreover, Gu Changsheng saw scattered broken divine weapons on the ground with mottled bloodstains. Judging by their appearance, the stains were left not long ago, likely by those treasure hunters who went in before.

"Look! There are murals on the wall!" Suddenly, Gu Changsheng raised a hand and pointed towards the high wall adorned with Ever-bright Lanterns.

On that wall, a series of murals connected, sketching simple images...

Gu Changsheng and the others immediately picked their way through, stepping over the broken divine weapons on the ground, moving closer to the wall, and looked up, carefully observing the carvings on the murals.

"This seems like a war. Look, it’s quite intense..." Yuan Bao scrutinized the mural for a while, unable to refrain from murmuring.

"Indeed, it is a war, a war that does not belong to humans!" Gu Changsheng’s eyes were fixed unblinkingly on the mural as he muttered softly.

The scenes depicted in this mural absolutely did not belong to human warfare, but rather, belonged to deities!

Although the lines of the mural were not detailed, one could vaguely see that every movement by the opposing sides could devastate mountains and rivers, leaving destruction in their wake...

"War of the Gods! It’s the War of the Gods! This place is probably a relic of the War of the Gods!"

Standing before the mural, Shi Wujue abruptly took a step back, speaking with a face full of startled awe.

At the End of the Ancient Wilderness, the War of the Gods was the cause of the disappearance of the Ancient Wilderness Times and the decline of the gods. No one remembers why this war broke out, but the war genuinely existed, just like that sealed, mottled memory they saw on the No Return Path!

And these murals depicted such scenes. Although not as vivid as those sealed memories, Gu Changsheng and Shi Wujue, along with Zhou Mu who had witnessed those memories, were absolutely certain that these were the scenes from the End of the Ancient Wilderness, the War of the Gods!

"So, these weapons might really be remnants from the War of the Gods, once belonged to deities, now broken divine level weapons..." Gu Changsheng turned his head, filled with unsure wonder, looking at the scattered broken divine weapons around, murmuring...

Gu Changsheng had imagined what the Divine Weapon Forging Tower would look like, but he never thought there would be memories here just like those on the No Return Path!

Again, the Ancient Wilderness Times!

Again, the War of the Gods!

For some unknown reason, Gu Changsheng always felt as if, unwittingly, she was continuously drawn toward an era that had disappeared into the long river of history...

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but bend down, slowly reaching to touch the broken divine weapons scattered on the ground...

"But weren’t they deities? Shouldn’t they be high above, without desire or need? Why then did they engage in such a self-destructive war, causing the Ancient Wilderness Times to disappear as well?"

Gu Changsheng murmured in confusion, his hand slowly reaching out!

"Changsheng, be careful!" Zhou Mu cried out in surprise upon seeing this.

Shi Wujue had just been scratched by these broken divine weapons right before their eyes, and yet, this reckless woman dared to touch them!

However, just as Zhou Mu was about to extend his hand to stop her, Gu Changsheng’s slender white hand had already touched the broken spear on the ground, her fingers resting on the ancient, desolate spearhead...

At the instant her fingers touched the spear, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but tremble, a hysterical low roar unexpectedly resounding in her mind...

"Kill them! Kill them!"

The voice shook her eardrums, bringing a searing pain to Gu Changsheng’s mind!

"Such strong murderous intent! Even after a long passage of time, this broken divine weapon is still filled with murderous intent... But why?" Gu Changsheng withdrew her hand with inexplicable expression, murmuring in a daze, "Why do I keep touching things connected with that disappeared era? Why is it only me? Is something in the dark guiding me to touch these things? For what purpose? To uncover that vanished era? Or perhaps, to trace back those sealed memories?"

She touched it!

She touched that broken divine weapon, and her hand wasn’t scratched!

Just like how others couldn’t pass through the Misty Prohibition outside the Divine Weapon Forging Tower, yet she could pass through safely, and touch them without harm...

But why is all of this?

What connection does that lost Ancient Wilderness Times, and the War of the Gods at its end, have with her?

She was just a person, an ordinary person, though now, she’s somewhat unlike an ordinary person, she never thought of mourning the past. She just wants to live well in the future...

"Changsheng! Snap out of it!" Zhou Mu couldn’t help but shout at Gu Changsheng, who looked almost soul-lost in front of him.

"Hmm?" Gu Changsheng turned back with a blank expression, looked at Zhou Mu, slightly curling the corners of her mouth, muttering, "Evildoer, I’m fine, it’s just that there are things I can’t understand!"
