The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

367: Emperor’s Tomb: Spirit Guardian

The man sat above five others and was wearing a beautiful and elaborate costume from olden times.
Several men and women knelt at his feet with eyes filled with worship and humility.

In another, he was on horseback commanding a thousand troops.
Another picture had him marrying a beautiful woman.
Another depicted people in fear and desperation as countless terrifying meteorites fell from the sky.
It was like you could hear their cries for help through the painting.

“Ah! This is. . .  this is. . . That nasty sea god! He’s such a selfish lunatic! No wonder none of the other gods wanted to be around him; he really is a lunatic!” Rui Baby had been dozing on Feng Fu’s head in her hair.
He started yelling after seeing the murals.

“Baby?” Feng Wu touched his eggshell, soothing the little guy.

“Is there something wrong with this place?” Zo knew ancient rui beasts were powerful.
They didn’t have strong attack, but their wisdom was much higher than humans.
They wouldn’t be rui beasts if they weren’t smart.

The little guy slowly quieted after being soothed.
His voice was still agitated though.

“Of course there’s a problem.
Poseidon, that lunatic, actually created such a tomb! No wonder there’s so much evil miasma here.
It’s no wonder; he’s so self-serving!” Rui Baby yelled and cursed more incomprehensible things.

The little guy explained before Zo had to ask.
“Poseidon’s been tampering with this place! No wonder it didn’t look like a god’s tomb!” Rui Baby said angrily.

“Tampered with?” It was his tomb to begin with, so what did it matter what he did to it? Zo didn’t understand why Rui Baby was so angry.

“I knew this place didn’t feel like a god’s tomb.
It turned out that sea god really did tamper with this place!” Baby said, still very much angry.

“But isn’t this the sea god’s tomb? Isn’t it fine for him to do what he pleases with it?”

“Huh! That guy mixed the tombs of kings from the human world inside his own tomb.
He made them his gatekeepers.
Their souls are going to be sealed in this place forever.
They’ll never be able to find peace or rest.

The greater their pain, the stronger their anger will be and the more dangerous it for those who enter the tomb.
And if I’m not mistaken, there’s more than one human king in this tomb.
I’m afraid Poseidon brought many of them in here.
After so many years, their tombs will be fearsome indeed.
Anyone who enters will be lucky to survive.

Poseidon’s tomb is hidden amongst the tomb of these human kings.
It’ll be impossible to find it, and even if you did find it, you’ll probably die inside.

The Sea Emperor, as you all call him, is known for his selfishness and ruthlessness amongst the gods.
There’s no way he’d let his precious treasures fall into human hands.”

Rui Baby talked badly about Poseidon, obviously looking down on the so-called sea god.

Zo finally believed Ai Lin about Zi Cheng being the world’s daughter of luck and destiny.
Zi Cheng’s friends and followers said that although she had met with some dangers in the tomb, she had for the most part escaped unscathed.

There was no mention of her encountering any of the tombs of the human king guardians; so she had to have entered the sea god’s tomb directly.
She didn’t just take away various paraphernalia and treasures in the tomb, she also took the Heart of Water.

This time around, the tomb was much easier to open and there were many more people journeying inside, but the difficulty was much greater.
These human kings had never been mentioned before.

“Why would the sea god want to do this? Does it make sense to use all these human kings to guard his tomb? He’s a sea god, why consider using humans at all?”

Zo couldn’t figure it out.
Why would a god use humans for guardians? And to even imprison their souls for it; it was completely unnecessary.

“Haha, do you think gods are all powerful? I’ll tell you, no matter how powerful a god is, in time, all powers fade.
The reason Poseidon used these kinds of methods and brought all these human kings here is to keep his tomb protected after his powers have waned.
So that they’ll stop intruders, their tombs have been enveloped in malevolence.

There are a lot of imprisoned souls within each human king’s tomb as well.
None of them know or understand that they have been imprisoned inside Poseidon’s tomb either.
They will continue to guard the tomb of their king as long as their king remains.

“How can a god do something so evil! How is he any different from a demon?!” Imprisoning another’s soul for eternity just so they become angry spirits.
How inhumane!”

It was unbelievable that a god, never mind an innate god, would do something so heinous.
It turned Zo’s world view upside down.

“What about gods? Who told you gods are supposed to be kind? That’s a myth.
Gods are like people; there are goods ones and there are bad ones.

If all gods are good, then how do you explain what happened with the demon realm? Before the lord of the demon realm became the lord of the demon realm, he was a master of gods in the god realm.
And amongst the master gods, he was a strong one too! But he still fell to the demon realm didn’t he?” Rui Baby rolled his eyes before giving Zo a disdainful look.

Was a beast looking down on him? Zo recognized Rui Baby was a god level magical beast, but it still made him uncomfortable and he suddenly felt the urge to beat the puppy!

“Then this entrance is to a king’s tomb?” Zo decisively changed the topic, having no wish to be despised by an eggshell wearing puppy.

“Ah forget it, you’re too stupid.”

“Haha. . . ” was Zo’s awkward reply back.

“How do we get in?” Feng Wu pushed at the gate but it refused to budge despite only being three meters high.

“There’s a mechanism that unlocks it.
You should be able to enter if you find it.
But are you sure about going in with only two people? It will be dangerous.
The king’s corpse is probably a monster corpse by now!”

A captive corpse would already be brimming with malevolent fury, but when combined with years of evil miasma immersion, odds were high a new evil consciousness bent on killing would have formed.
