Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4617  Imperial Statue

”As expected, the structures here are extremely sturdy. Furthermore, after so many years, the aura of the Great Emperor must have subsided considerably. Thus, this palace hall must have been even sturdier in the past.”

”These traces of battle… should have been left behind by Saints.”

”Could it be that some Imperial Clan brought an Imperial Weapon with them and sent out all the Saints of their clan to attack this place when this Great Emperor wasnʼt here?”

Ling Han thought as he walked. This was perhaps the most astonishing discovery in history. There was actually a force that dared to attack the residence of the Great Emperor!

No one would believe this, right?

Even if they took advantage of the fact that the Great Emperor was not here, and forcibly conquered this place, wouldnʼt they be afraid that the Great Emperor would call them to account afterwards?

Or perhaps it was only after the death of that Great Emperor that forces had invaded?

En, it should be the latter possibility that was more likely. Otherwise, it would be too inconceivable.

Ling Han searched around in the palace, but the damage here was too severe. Only the frame of the palace was still there. As for other things, it was really difficult to find anything complete that could be used to prove the identity of that Great Emperor.

After exiting the palace, he saw another plaza ahead of him. However, this plaza wasnʼt empty anymore. Instead, there was a stone statue erected there, but it was incomplete. The part above the head and neck was gone.

This stone statue was extremely tall, measuring around 300 meters in height. It was clearly male, and it could be clearly seen that he was wearing a long robe. Even though it was only a statue, it still displayed his ethereal and otherworldly aura.

Was it that Great Emperor of the past?

Ling Han raised his head to look. Unfortunately, the sculpture didnʼt have a head, so there was still no comparison.

”The other parts of the statue are all here, yet the head is missing. I canʼt help but suspect that this is deliberate.” Ling Han withdrew his gaze, and murmured, ”Does this mean that no one can guess the identity of that Great Emperor, or do they hate this Great Emperor so much that they could not even bear to see his stone statue?”

He walked to the foot of the statue, and stretched out a hand to touch it. Suddenly, images rushed towards his mind.

This was a scene of worship from all living beings.

In the past, countless believers had come here, and worshipped this stone statue on this plaza. The power of faith of all living beings condensed, transmigrating through millions and millions of years without dying.

”Power of belief.”

Ling Han nodded. What depressed him was the fact that these believers were too devout. They did not dare to raise their heads, and lowered their gazes. Thus, Ling Han was still unable to find out the appearance of that Great Emperor through these images.

”Are you trying to drive me to my death with anxiety?”

Ling Han retracted his hand. This was also his first time experiencing the power of belief, which made him sigh in realization.

”Yi?” He was surprised, because when he withdrew his hand, he discovered that the power of belief had not dispersed, but was rather adhering to his hand.

Strange.

The power of belief could only be used by Saints. No matter how freakish Ling Han was, his cultivation level was still low, so how could he channel it?

It was just like using your hand to scoop up water. No matter how big your palm was, the water would still flow through your fingers, and would not be able to stay in your grasp at all.

But now, Ling Han could sense that his connection with the power of belief had not been severed. In fact… he could use it.

He would give it a try.

Ling Han delivered a palm strike. Boom, the power of belief of all living beings was boosted. Aside from launching 30 Seven Star Regulations, there was actually another Eight Star Regulation that appeared.

In other words, with the help of the power of belief, he had actually increased his battle prowess by one star.

”Tsk!”

”No wonder the Saints collect the power of belief. Even if they can ignite the holy flame themselves, they still have to nurture believers.”

”This is indeed a great boost to battle prowess.”

”However, itʼs clear that only Saints who possess Regulations can wield the power of belief, so why can I do the same?”

Ling Han stimulated the dimensions in his body. He was the Genesis Worldʼs leader, and with a single thought, he immediately attracted the worship of millions of people. That was the incredibly devout power of belief.

However, Ling Han discovered that this was not the slightest bit helpful to his battle prowess.

Even though it was only a wisp.

Thus, he was still unable to channel the power of belief.

”The reason why I was able to unleash my might just now was because of this stone statue.” Ling Han placed his hand on the stone statue again. With a thought, he waved his hand, and as expected, an eight-star Regulation appeared.

And after this time, he discovered that he had actually established a very weak relationship with the stone statue. It was as if there was a bridge between the two of them that connected them.

It was also because of this that he was still able to channel the power of belief after taking a few steps back.

”I can now confirm that there is definitely a connection between me and this Great Emperor.”

”But what exactly is it?”

”Not just me, but also Ding Shu and the other Genesis World Masters!”

Ling Han felt a headache coming on. Just what kind of connection was this?

After thinking for a while, he continued onwards. There was another building at the end of the plaza, but compared to the palace, this was much more shabby. It was only a very ordinary small courtyard.

The front of the courtyard was surrounded by a bamboo fence. First, there was a small vegetable garden, followed by three single-storey houses.

Now, the vegetable garden had long since been abandoned. There werenʼt even any weeds growing, and all that was left was desolate land.

Ling Han pushed open the bamboo fence, passed through the vegetable garden, and walked into those three single-storey houses.

He walked in, and discovered that a small training ground had been built in this backyard. There was a very large sandpit.

”Yi?”

This was really too ordinary. Everything was ordinary.

Ling Han circled around, and discovered that there was another backyard.

He walked in, and discovered that a small training ground had been built in this backyard. There was a very large sandpit.

”Yi?”

Ling Han faltered for a moment. This was because he suddenly saw the figure of a child walking past him.

This gave him a scare.

He had to be seeing things!

Just how powerful was he now? Saint-level!

But even so, he did not even know when a person had appeared by his side. How could this not be frightening?

However, Ling Han immediately came to a realization. This wasnʼt a person, but rather an illusion.

The child walked into the sandpit and began to practice martial arts.

He practiced for several hours, and only when the sun had risen into the sky did he hear a voice call out, ”Taiyu, itʼs time for lunch.”

The child immediately retracted his fists and feet, then returned to his room.

When he passed by Ling Han, the child suddenly paused, and glanced at where Ling Han was. A suspicious expression appeared on his face, and he then walked back in.

ʼF*ck! He didnʼt see me, did he?ʼ

However, this was an illusion from who knew how many years ago. Everyone in the scene was clearly an existence in a memory, so how could he have discovered him?

A thought involuntarily flashed through his mind.

A Great Emperor!

Only a Great Emperor would possess such Mystical Powers that ordinary people could not even imagine.

An extremely ordinary small courtyard had appeared here, so how could it not be strange?

However, if this was where the Great Emperor had lived since childhood, then it could be explained.

Ling Han couldnʼt help but shuffle his feet and enter the room.

This time, he shockingly discovered that the appearance of the room had completely changed.

Er, the house was still the same, but the furnishings and furniture had become considerably newer. Furthermore, at a table, there was presently an older person and younger person seated, eating, exuding vitality.

The younger one was naturally the child who had been practicing martial arts just now, while the older one was a pretty woman who looked to be less than thirty years old. Occasionally, she would carry food for the child, her eyes filled with gentleness.

”Mother, can we treat this Big Brother to a meal?” At this moment, the child suddenly asked.
