A World Worth Protecting

The moment he entered, a gust of cold air seemed to blow in from the crack.
Wang Baole took a deep breath, pressing his body tightly against the rock wall and advancing cautiously toward the bigger crack.

The crack is slanted?

After a few steps, Wang Baole turned to observe the surrounding rock wall.
He realized that the crack was not formed naturally but seemed to have been formed when something in the sky fell and impacted the mountain.

This mountain is still intact even after being impacted by an external object.

Wang Baole felt slightly incredulous and pondered over it before continuing to move on.
However, even when he reached the end of the crack, he still had not found any clues.

Although it was the end of the crack, he saw a large depression in the area.
However, the area surrounding it was clean, free of even bird feces, and naturally free of debris.

Either my father lied to me or the archaeological team was too professional, removing everything thoroughly from here.
Wang Baole stood in the depression and looked around, troubled.

He had entered the area cautiously, yet he did not find anything.
Therefore, he was naturally disappointed and depressed.
He tried to search the area thoroughly again, but eventually, he let out a long sigh, giving up on his search as he planned to leave.

At this moment, he stopped and turned to look at the depression again.
He thought for a moment before retrieving the black mask from the storage bracelet.
He wanted to bring the mask to the center of the depression to align it in order to ascertain if the mask had indeed been an item that had crashed and landed on the site.

However, the very instant that he brought out the black mask, the mask suddenly gave off a colorful, brilliant glow that radiated outward and lit up the surrounding walls.
It was the first time that had happened outside the hallucination realm.

This scene gave Wang Baole a scare.
He immediately retreated but stopped after taking only three steps as his eyes looked straight at the area above the depression.
Right then, for some reason, the glow that radiated from the mask seemed to be projecting an image.

In the image, there seemed to be numerous corpses of both genders, young and old.
They were of people and of monsters, clearly the depiction of a war!

The area of the war zone was large.
There were several large broken statues.
Even though it was only an image, Wang Baole still seemed to smell the repulsive stench of blood simply by looking at them.

The image seemed to have been tainted red.
A large hand print could even be seen falling strongly from the sky toward the ground.

Vaguely, in the crimson sky, there were several huge suns with their glow extinguishing one after another.
At the highest point in the sky, there was a large blurry image of a face.
One could only see a sense of coldness radiating from his eyes as he looked at the ground.
There was also a figure standing among the crowd, protected by the people surrounding them.

It was a woman, a figure wearing a black mask!

The very instant Wang Baole noticed the woman, two words immediately appeared in his mind, despite the woman wearing a mask.

Unsurpassed beauty!

The woman ’s eyes conveyed feelings of indignation and resilience.
They also revealed a determination to kill, even if her opponent was a god.
As she turned to look at the gods straight in the face, she raised her right hand, and an ancient greenish-bronze sword immediately appeared from nowhere, carrying an indescribably sinister aura.
The moment it appeared, the sky seemed to change, becoming turbulent, and time seemed to freeze there and then.
Only the sword floated beside her.

The moment he saw the sword, Wang Baole ’s eyes almost fell out of his sockets.
He felt as if he had been electrocuted, his brain fuzzy.
As the glow from the black mask faded, the image before him also blurred and eventually disappeared, restoring the cave to its original state.

Wang Baole was confused, and his breath became irregular as well.
He stood there for a long time before he recovered.
As he left, he was still mumbling, his voice indicating shock and disbelief.

”The sword… the sword… ” Wang Baole walked back out of the crack, shaking his head violently.
He looked at the Sword Sun in the sky, utterly surprised and incredulous at the same time.

With his turbulent emotions, Wang Baole returned to the aircraft and sat inside for a long time.
He calmed himself down by taking deep breaths before leaving in the aircraft.

He did not notice, but a gaze had fallen onto his aircraft at this moment, only retracting when the aircraft had gone out of sight.

The person looking at the aircraft stood at the entrance of the Five Peaks.
Under the setting sun ’s rays, his face could not be clearly seen.
He was wearing a long, white robe and had a mob of flowing white hair.

Behind him was a black fog, masking a youth with a protruded mouth and ape-like chin.

Beside him was a mosquito, quietly hovering.
