Back then, when he was on the altar, he had already suspected that these patterns were left behind by the Phoenix God. Now, Qi Lingmeng had finally confirmed his suspicions.
"These runes are extremely ancient. They were created by the Phoenix God. Although I can recognize them, I can only understand a small portion of them."
Qi Lingmeng walked in front of the huge rock where Ye Chen had carved the patterns. She stared at the patterns and started to examine them carefully.
Ye Chen didn't want to disturb Qi Lingmeng, so he quietly stood to the side and stared at her without saying a word.
Qi Lingmeng's gaze swept across the runes, and her expression became more and more shocked.
She looked through the runes that Ye Chen had carved, and her eyes were filled with unconcealable fear. She looked at Ye Chen and said, "Ye Chen, are these the Phoenix God's runes you saw on the altar?"
"Yes."
Ye Chen nodded and asked curiously, "Saintess, what did you see? Can you tell me now?"
Qi Lingmeng took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She then said, "I can recognize about half of these runes, but the content is already extremely shocking."
"Firstly, the person who left these runes behind should be the Phoenix God Old Ancestor.
Secondly, according to the runes left behind by the Old Ancestor, she has been imprisoned in a hidden place all these years, unable to escape. "
Qi Lingmeng concisely explained the general content of the Phoenix God's runes.
It was no wonder that Qi Lingmeng had such a strange expression. These runes were like a will, a will left behind by the Phoenix God herself.
If it was someone else who left behind a will, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the Phoenix God was different. The Nine Great Divine Spirits of the True Spirit World had a special status. They were practically indestructible, existing forever with the True Spirit World.
Under such circumstances, the Phoenix God still left behind such a will. It would definitely be terrifying.
"The person who imprisoned Senior Phoenix God should be the Dark God, right?"
Ye Chen said with a frown. Before his eyes, it was as if the scene he had seen after climbing up the altar had reappeared.
In the image, the Dark God faced the other eight gods alone. In the end, not only did he defeat the eight gods, he even captured all eight of them.
Such a scene was enough to explain everything.
However, Ye Chen still felt that it was inconceivable. That was why he had pulled Qi Lingmeng here and carved these patterns to prove that what he saw was true.
"That's right, it's the Dark God. The words left behind by our ancestor also specifically stated that we must be careful of the Dark God."
Qi Lingmeng's gaze swept back and forth between Ye Chen and the Phoenix God characters. Suddenly, her body began to sway.
Although she was the Holy Maiden of the Phoenix God Race and had a revered status, her mental state cultivation was extremely strong. But when she suddenly heard this kind of news, she still had a feeling of being unable to bear it.
This matter not only involved the Phoenix God, but also the Dark God.
Who was the Dark God?
He used to be one of the nine great gods of the True Spirit World. And now, the Dark God was the only god of the True Spirit World. He was the undisputed number one expert of the True Spirit World.
Even the Dark God Race created by the Dark God was now the strongest force of the True Spirit World. The other major forces, including the Phoenix God Race and the Dragon God Race, simply couldn't compare to the Dark God Race.
Under such circumstances, even if Qi Lingmeng knew that the Phoenix God had been plotted against and imprisoned by the Dark God, what could she do?
Even if the Phoenix God Race used up all of its power, it wouldn't be a match for the Dark God alone.
Therefore, at this moment, Qi Lingmeng suddenly felt a sense of despair. Her body swayed a few times, and it looked as if she was about to fall to the ground.
At this moment, a pair of strong arms suddenly stretched out and supported her.
Ye Chen held Qi Lingmeng's arm and looked at the latter's fragile face. Suddenly, he could not help but pull her into his arms, using his broad chest to comfort Qi Lingmeng.
"Holy Maiden, do you know about my past?" Ye Chen's tone was gentle, as if he was talking about something unrelated.
Qi Lingmeng was in a daze and didn't respond to Ye Chen. However, Ye Chen didn't mind and continued talking about this topic.
"The place I was born in is a remote place in the Magnificent Sky Continent. The Human Race is just an unremarkable small race in the Magnificent Sky Continent. In the past, I faced many opponents who were so strong that they made people despair, whether in terms of strength or status."
"Many times, even I thought that I couldn't hold on any longer. But in the end, I still held on and walked step by step to where I am today."
Ye Chen's tone was gentle. It was as if he had returned to the days when he was fighting with Fang Han and the others. At that time, he was facing a situation where he was surrounded by enemies, and they were all tyrannical experts.
But Ye Chen still walked step by step!
Now, when he looked back at his former opponents, they were already so weak that they couldn't even withstand a single blow.
Qi Lingmeng was in a daze for a moment. Gradually, she was attracted by Ye Chen's words. She knew a little about Ye Chen's past, but she didn't know the details.
Now that she heard Ye Chen talk about it with her own ears, she knew how dangerous and sinister Ye Chen's past experiences were.
All along, Qi Lingmeng felt that Ye Chen had something that she didn't have. That was why she was so curious about Ye Chen. But now, she finally knew that Ye Chen had more thrilling experiences than she did.
This kind of experience was equivalent to training Ye Chen a thousand times. He became indomitable and would never back down.
More importantly, Qi Lingmeng had already understood why Ye Chen was saying all this. He was trying to wake her up.
Compared to Ye Chen, Qi Lingmeng, who was the Holy Maiden of the Phoenix God Clan, had suffered too few setbacks. Now, when she saw the Phoenix God's will, she was at a loss and panicked.
If not for Ye Chen's reminder, Qi Lingmeng's soul would have suffered a setback and her strength wouldn't be able to improve in the future.
"Ye Chen, thank you."
Qi Lingmeng sighed faintly, but she didn't leave Ye Chen's embrace. Instead, she pressed her cheek against Ye Chen's chest, maintaining a very intimate posture.
Ye Chen pulled Qi Lingmeng into his embrace just to wake her up from her dazed state. He didn't have any evil intentions. But now that Qi Lingmeng was awake, he didn't have to worry about this anymore. He immediately felt a trace of strangeness.
Qi Lingmeng's body sank into his embrace. That soft feeling, coupled with the fragrance of a woman, made his heart beat faster uncontrollably.
Qi Lingmeng's appearance could be said to be peerless. Any man who came into such intimate contact with her would probably be distracted and let his imagination run wild.
Fortunately, Qi Lingmeng lay in Ye Chen's embrace for a moment before she took a step back and took the initiative to separate from Ye Chen.
At this moment, Qi Lingmeng's fighting spirit had been restored.
Her eyes revealed a sense of steadiness. She turned her head and erased all the Phoenix God's words on the huge rock behind her. Then, she slowly said, "Ye Chen, thank you for telling me about the Phoenix God Clan's Old Ancestor. Now that we finally know the Old Ancestor's whereabouts, if we want to save him in the future, it will be much easier."
Qi Lingmeng didn't mention anything about the Dark God again.
