Chapter 217: Dead Civilization, Old Altar

Avril looked at Vincent in shock. She could not help but exclaim, “At least a level 10 creature?”

There were previously many high-level monsters gathered there. This meant that the world behind this particular Black Hole was far more powerful than the human world!

However, the monsters that had been entrenched here had actually left. What did that mean?

Was the world destroyed by the endless Monster Hordes?

A world that seemed to have had a high-level civilization had been destroyed by the Black Hole’s Monster Horde just like that. It made people feel pity and sadness for the world.

“That’s right. There might have been a race that was stronger than humans! Unfortunately, they weren’t as lucky…”

Vincent let out a long sigh and walked into the Black Hole.

Avril and Angelina were not as bold as Vincent. Both of them were fully prepared for battle. They were following behind Vincent slowly. They then entered the Black Hole.

Kurt saw the scene and followed suit. A crack suddenly opened up behind him and a cannon emerged. It was placed on one side of his shoulder. A small hole also appeared in the center of his palms. He carefully aimed at his surroundings and walked into the Black Hole slowly.

When Avril and Angelina entered the new world, they saw Vincent standing in front of a cliff in the distance. He did not prepare for battle. Instead, he just quietly looked into the distance.

Kurt walked up to them. He looked around and said, “This world is very big, but there are no signs of life!”

After hearing Kurt’s statement, Avril and Angelina immediately let down their guard and ran to Vincent.

Vincent heard the footsteps beside him, but he did not turn his head to look. Instead, he pointed to a distance and said, “Look!”

Avril and Angelina looked into the distance and instantly fell into a daze.

They saw a vast yellow land, an empty broken oasis, and a few intermittent rivers. The world was very similar to the human world.

Avril and Angelina could tell that the land in front of them should have been a more complete oasis. However, due to war or some other reasons, it had been destroyed. It looked like the end of the world.

In the distance of the oasis, there were clear ruins of a castle.

The tall city gate was majestic. One of the gates was more than ten meters tall, and it was filled with vertical city walls that were thousands of meters long. It could be seen how prosperous the city was in its heyday.

Behind the city walls that had collapsed was the center of the city. A huge statue that looked like the sun stood in the middle of the city. It was far taller than all the other buildings, including the majestic city walls!

However, a corner of the huge sun statue was wrecked. It was obvious that it was broken due to the war.

Avril, who was shocked by the world before her, sighed in disbelief, “The civilization here has been destroyed?”

Vincent nodded and said, “To be precise, the civilization here has become history completely!”

“Then what are we going to do next?” asked Angelina.

Vincent looked at the city in a distance and said, “Come, let’s pay a visit to this respectable civilization!”

Angelina and Avril nodded and turned around to find a way to the city. However, they saw Kurt with his hands crossed in a strange position. He was aiming at the city in the distance!

“Kurt, what are you doing?” asked Angelina curiously.

“I’m focusing. I’m going to take a few clear pictures and send them back to Esville!” said Kurt with a smile.

Vincent and the other two sisters shook their heads at the same time. Robots were robots. They did not understand how to respect a civilization at all.

However, the three of them thought of the attitude of the Esville Race towards the other races. Only then did they feel more at ease with Kurt!

They ignored Kurt’s strange behavior and walked down the slope together. They walked along the plains where the yellow sand and oasis intersected and towards the huge and magnificent city.

It was not until they reached the city gate that Vincent and the other two truly felt the greatness of the civilization before them.

They stood in front of the city gate and looked into the city. From there, they saw the city wall that spanned thousands of meters. It was roughly hundreds of meters in terms of thickness. Behind the ten-meter tall city gate was a long tunnel that led to a shocking and magnificent civilization.

“Let’s go!”

Vincent sighed and led Angelina and Avril into the city. After passing through the long tunnel, they entered the huge city.

The buildings in the city were not as tall as they had imagined. They were the same size as human houses. Even the architectural style was very similar to the human world!

Avril walked to the door of a house and looked at the height of the door frame. She could not help but sigh, “This can’t be another human world, right?”

Vincent looked around and suddenly saw a place that looked like a small square. There seemed to be a stone tablet. He quickly went forward to check it.

There were some words carved on the stone tablet. What made Vincent even more surprised was that even the words they used were very similar to the human world!

“Come and have a look!”

Vincent called Avril and Angelina. The three of them looked at the stone tablet together.

There were names written on it and were arranged in pairs. Two lines of words were carved on both sides of the stone tablet.

It read, “Fate has brought us three lives, and they will never abandon each other”

Angelina muttered and sighed, “It seems like this place was once a wedding venue!”

Avril was also quite moved and said, “I don’t know how many beautiful love affairs were witnessed here, but the race that lived here actually disappeared just like that!”

Vincent was also touched. He turned around and held Avril and Angelina’s hands. They then walked to the center of the square.

Vincent sighed softly, “Since the civilization is no longer here to maintain their relationships, then let us continue this beautiful custom for them!”

Avril and Angelina could not help but blush when they heard that. They raised their hands together with Vincent and quietly chanted.

“Fate has brought us three lives, and we will never abandon each other!”

At this time, Kurt happened to record their small ceremony. He broadcasted it to the world of Esville.

Kurt said with a serious expression, “My fellow citizens of Esville, what you are seeing now should be the love ceremony between Mr. Vincent and his two companions. This is the process that their race must go through before they reproduce. Although it is very complicated, to them, it is one of the most beautiful things!”

Although Vincent and the two sisters heard Kurt’s strange description, they did not have time to complain at that moment. This was because they were standing in the confession square that had a long history. They were unconsciously immersed in it and could feel the passionate love between them.

When the three of them completed the ceremony, a dazzling light suddenly rose from the already dilapidated square and enveloped Vincent and the two sisters.

Although the three of them who were in the square did not know what was going on, they could feel that the light was not harmful. Therefore, they did not react to it.

Meanwhile, Kurt, who was outside of the square, said with great excitement, “Look! They found the ritual that the previous civilization used to practice. It turns out that they were not just completing the process of reproduction before but were trying to activate this hidden array!”

“We activated the array?” asked Angelina. She was puzzled.

Avril thought for a moment and asked, “Did we do the right thing in this square?”

“It’s true love! It was when we empathized with each other just now and revealed our true feelings to each other. We have gained the recognition of the array in the square!” said Vincent with certainty.

When Avril and Angelina heard Vincent mention the concept of true love, they could not help but feel warmth in their hearts. They were very moved.

“It seems that the civilization here once had a way to test love. Every couple who held a wedding here has been tested by true love!”

Vincent nodded and looked up at the rising light. It was as if he wanted to see this once glorious civilization through this array.

Suddenly, Vincent noticed a few faint figures appearing in the light above. Those figures were very similar to humans, except that their physical bodies were more powerful. They were dressed in very noble clothes. They acted as if they were praying for the new couple.

Avril and Angelina also noticed the figure above and asked in surprise, “Who is that?”

“It should be the ruler of this world. Every couple who loves each other sincerely can receive their projection blessing. This should be part of the wedding ceremony!” sighed Vincent softly.

“Then what happens after that? Is the ceremony complete?” asked Avril.

Vincent had been paying attention to the light that was floating in the sky. Suddenly, he noticed that the scattered light spots were slowly floating towards the sun statue in the center of the city.

“Hum!”

Suddenly, the sun statue absorbed the light spots and instantly emitted a faint golden light.

Vincent said, “The ceremony is obviously not complete. Next, we will go to the most important place of this civilization!”

Avril and Angelina nodded together. The three of them walked along the street towards the sun statue.

On the way, Avril sighed in puzzlement, “How can a wedding ceremony be so long?”

Vincent thought for a while and said, “It seems that the square we were in just now was not a place for a wedding. Instead, it was a test between couples. A couple who received recognition would not only receive the blessing of the king but would also be able to go to important places to receive baptism or mission!”

“So, like the races here before, we have completed the recognition of the ritual and can receive some rewards?” said Angelina excitedly.

Vincent nodded and said, “Yes, it’s very possible!”

Soon, the three of them arrived under the sun statue. They realized that the sun statue was not a simple statue, but an old altar!
