Temple_2

When his avatar entered the Earth God Temple, there were no issues. However, when it came to his original body entering the temple, problems arose.

“An illusion!”

“What my original body saw was an illusion!”

Su Nan thought of one possibility.

And this was the only explanation for the situation witnessed in the foresight.

An illusion is constructed by the power of the Divine Soul. An avatar does not possess a divine soul, hence it’s naturally immune to illusions.

However, his original body wasn’t. This obviously was the key reason for the discrepancy between what his avatar and original body experienced.

“I ended up dying after being compelled to worship the divine statue, what’s the reason behind that?”

Su Nan couldn’t help but ponder in his thoughts.

Subconsciously, he recalled the previous incident at the City God Temple in Tianyun City.

In that foresight of the City God Temple, he was killed after worshiping the divine statue, just like what he experienced now.

Having died mysteriously again, he began to suspect if there was a powerful Soul-Eating Demon residing within the Earth God Temple as well.

“One is the City God Temple, and the other is the Earth God Temple. Could there be any connection between the two?”

In a sudden inspiration, Su Nan thought of a bold possibility.

But sadly, the information he had was too scarce for him to confirm this theory.

“Places like the Earth God Temple are likely to occur more than once within these Divine Ruins. If I can’t figure out what caused this, I might fall into such a situation again.”

After pondering for a moment, instead of avoiding the Earth God Temple like he would avoid a Soul-eating Demon, Su Nan decided to find out what was really happening in the temple.

He did not immediately continue with the foresight.

On his panel, there were only seventeen instances of foresight left.

After hesitating slightly, he decided to first approach the area where the temple was located as suggested by the foresight.

It took him seven consecutive attempts of foresight to reach the Temple earlier.

Continuing the foresight here, despite having traversed this path once before which would mitigate some of the foresight usage, would still consume at least four to five times of foresight to reach the Earth God Temple.

If he was still unable to determine the situation within the temple, it would waste several instances of foreknowledge the next time.

Not to mention his attempts at foreknowledge were already running out. Even if he had sixty instances of foresight left, he could not afford to squander it like this.

With a decision made, Su Nan controlled his avatar to pave the way, and kept himself trailing behind the avatar at a distance.

Just as he summoned his avatar, the mark on the avatar was immediately detected by the White Water Demon King outside the Divine Ruins, causing him to reveal a look of confusion.

“Two more marks appeared, and they belong to another outsider. Strange, why is another outsider appearing all of a sudden?”

The White Water Demon King was puzzled, unable to figure out how another outsider who had obtained a divine weapon had appeared.

A moment later, he sensed that both outsiders were heading deeper into the Divine Ruins, which prompted a cold smile from him.

“Interesting. The young are fearless. Perhaps till now, they are still unaware of where they have entered.”

“I am curious to see how far you can go.”

About ten minutes later, Su Nan stopped before a desolate small hill.

He had already advanced several tens of miles.

As soon as he scaled the small hill in front of him, he would be able to see the Earth God Temple he had foreseen.

Not daring to proceed any further, he began his foresight.

[Commanding the avatar to the front of the temple, you realize that this ruined temple in front of you is not as simple as it appears, and there’s unknown danger lurking within.]

[You control the avatar to venture into the temple, meticulously searching its interior, trying to uncover any abnormalities.]

[Two minutes later, you’ve combed through most regions of the temple but found nothing unusual.]

[Three minutes later, you’ve inspected the entire temple and still found nothing.]

[Unwilling to leave just like that, you decide to command your avatar to destroy the temple completely.]

[However, the moment your avatar touches the temple with the intention to destroy it, an unexpected change occurs within the ruined temple, and a terrifying aura begins to rise.]

[The next moment, your avatar is annihilated, transforming back into its original divine power and returning to your body.]

[Just as your avatar is annihilated, you hear a mechanical and emotionless voice.]

[Those who destroy the temple die!]

[End of first foresight. Continue?]

“My avatar was killed?”

Su Nan was shocked, as his avatar was formed from the immortal power of the Green Gold Stone and was thought to be indestructible.

Even in the City God Temple, the King-level Sacrificial God Demon Soul could only severely injure the avatar with its big sword, but never kill it.

But now, just because of the destruction of the Earth God Temple, it was killed!

I can’t imagine how powerful the energy was when the Earth God Temple exploded at the end.

“If I can’t destroy it with my avatar, and my physical body can’t see it, can’t I just avoid it?”

Without continuing to predict, Su Nan let go of his plan to understand the Earth God Temple.

He decided to take a detour.

[You know that there is an unknown danger ahead, you decide to take a detour, and you make your avatar move to the left, trying to circumvent from the left.]

[One minute later, you have not come across any danger.]

[Two minutes later, through your avatar you see a dilapidated structure built of blue stone about a hundred meters ahead.]

[The structure, which had weathered the elements for an unknowable amount of time, was clearly a temple—a Land God Temple.]

“A Land God Temple? How come there is another Land God Temple?”

“Why are there so many Land God Temples here?”

Su Nan found this perplexing and continued to observe.

But the information from the following predictions completely changed his complexion.

[You are curious about the Earth God Temple, you control your avatar to walk toward the temple, and after a short while your avatar arrives in front of the temple.]

[The Earth God Temple is falling apart, half of itBS has already collapsed, and even the Earth God statue inside has only half of its body left, covered by a thick layer of dust.]

[Interestingly, through the remaining half statue, you find that the statue is different from normal statues. Unfortunately, the remaining parts of the statue are too little, only the lower half left, preventing you from figuring out what exactly is different.]

“This, could this Land God Temple be the same as the one I encountered before?”

Watching the prediction information identical to the previous one, Su Nan’s face darkened. He had a bad feeling all of a sudden!

[You decided not to enter the temple and quickly made your avatar retreat, planning to change your direction.]

[Three minutes later, you return to the beginning point before the small hill, and this time you choose to detour from the right.]

[First prediction ends, do you want to continue?”]

“Continue!”

[One minute later, you have not encountered any danger.]

[Two minutes later, through your avatar, you see a ruin built from bluestone about a hundred meters ahead, it is a Land God Temple!]

[This Land God Temple feels very familiar to you. Looking from its exterior, it is exactly the same as the one you encountered earlier!]

[You have a vague justification in your heart, but in order to verify your justification, you still control your avatar to continue moving forward.]

[You quickly arrive at the Land God Temple. Through your avatar, you found out that this temple is in ruins, half of it has collapsed and even the Land God statue only has half of its body left, covered by a thick layer of dust.]

[This Land God Temple is exactly the same as the one you encountered earlier. At this moment, you are certain that these are not two similar Land God Temples, but the same one.]

“I knew it!”

Seeing this, Su Nan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.

The thing that he didn’t want to see the most had happened. The three Land God Temples he encountered were not similar, but identical.

What does that mean?

It means that he was stuck by this strange Land God Temple!

It has made up its mind not to let him go.

[You make your avatar enter the Land God Temple, planning to attempt to destroy the temple again.]

[However, when you try to destroy the temple, the dilapidated temple begins to show a different change, and a terrifying energy starts to rise.]

[The next moment, your avatar is annihilated, and it turns back into the original power of technique and returns to your body.]

[Second prediction ends, do you want to continue?]

“What exactly is the matter with this Land God Temple? How can it appear in different places?”

“So all along, everything I saw, including what my avatar saw, was an illusion?”

The situation now is strange. A temple could appear in different places, Su Nan had never heard of this.

“I wonder if the Great Princess would know what’s happening?”

Su Nan thought of the Great Princess in his cosmic ring.

The Great Princess had also entered here before, maybe she would know what was happening now..
