This city exudes an ancient aura, with its tall and magnificent buildings scattered like stars in the sky. The city walls rise into the clouds, resembling a giant dragon winding and coiling, adorned with countless knife marks and arrow holes, revealing a heavy atmosphere of killing and war. The city gates are even more majestic and spectacular, gleaming with metallic luster, inspiring awe and a chill.
After entering the heavenly palace, the four sisters of the Celestial Snake Clan arrived in this ancient city, only to find it devoid of any other living beings.
"Where is everyone else?"
Tian Xiaoxiao kept her eyes peeled and ears open, but apart from her four sisters, there were no other living beings present. The entire city exuded an eerie silence.
"That shouldn't be the case. We are not the first creatures to enter," Tian Zhengzheng, the third sister, also said. Before them, many creatures had already ascended to the heavenly palace from other places. They were relatively late, so they should have encountered other beings by now.
"Second Sister, do you sense anything unusual?" Tian Yuanyuan asked Tian Fangfang.
Tian Fangfang shook her head and said, "Apart from the abnormal silence, I haven't sensed anything out of the ordinary."
Tian Yuanyuan nodded. She looked around. The architectural style of the city was completely different from the present, and each building was incredibly tall. Even the shortest one was hundreds of feet high, and even the doors of the buildings were exceptionally large.
"Sisters, look!"
At that moment, Tian Xiaoxiao seemed to have discovered something extraordinary and pointed to a tall building not far away. This building was a thick and tall pillar, and Tian Yuanyuan and the others all looked towards it.
"This is..."
Tian Zhengzheng flashed into the air and looked down at the carvings on the pillar from a high vantage point.
"This is a totem pillar," Tian Zhengzheng said with a hint of excitement in her voice.
Totem pillars often represent the beliefs of a certain group, and the carvings on the totem pillars are closely related to the object of worship of this group. Through the totem pillars, later generations can learn about the information of the ancients.
Tian Zhengzheng was the most knowledgeable and well-remembered of the four sisters, because she loved formations the most, and the way of formations inevitably involved dealing with various ancient books and objects. Over time, Tian Zhengzheng possessed profound knowledge.
The function of the totem pillar is the same as that of books, except that books record things in words, while totem pillars use pictures.
The totem pillar in front of them towered into the clouds and was extremely thick. From one direction, only a part of the relief could be seen, so it was obviously impossible to fully understand what was recorded on the totem pillar.
So the four sisters began to observe in different directions.
At this time, Tian Xiaoxiao was at the very bottom of the totem pillar, and she looked at the relief in front of her with a pensive look in her eyes.
The reliefs in front of her were in the shape of humanoid creatures, but these humanoid creatures were huge in size. These huge creatures carried boulders like small mountains on their bodies, and walked towards the sky on cloud ladders.
Tian Xiaoxiao looked up along the creatures in the relief, and saw a city in the sky, which was somewhat similar to the heavenly palace they had seen at the end of the golden light before.
"This should be the construction process of the giant city we are in," Tian Xiaoxiao thought to herself.
Tian Xiaoxiao continued to look up around the totem pillar, and suddenly stopped her gaze. In front of her, some lines like words appeared, and she couldn't help shouting, "Third Sister, come here."
Tian Zhengzheng heard her little sister's voice, and her figure descended from the sky and came to Tian Xiaoxiao's side.
"Third Sister, look at the lines on it, aren't they like the words that appeared in an ancient book that Master gave you?" Tian Xiaoxiao pointed to the lines on the totem pillar and said.
"Let me see."
Tian Zhengzheng looked at the lines on the totem pillar, and then took out a book exuding an ancient aura. This book was given to her by her master Yao Xian, and it recorded many ancient characters from the heavens and the world.
At this time, Tian Yuanyuan and Tian Fangfang also noticed the situation here, so they fell together.
"What did you find?" Tian Yuanyuan asked.
"This is ancient demon text," Tian Zhengzheng said excitedly. She compared the text information on the ancient book given to her by her master and came to this conclusion.
"What does it mean?" Tian Xiaoxiao asked quickly.
Tian Zhengzheng held the ancient book in both hands and said, comparing it with the explanation on it, "Under the guidance of the Serpent God, the Giant Spirit Clan built the city in the sky. With the protection of the city in the sky, they are not afraid of the invasion of the Demon Clan."
When they heard "Serpent God", they all had a strange feeling.
Tian Xiaoxiao muttered, "This Serpent God, could it be the ancestor of our Celestial Snake Clan?"
"Who knows?"
Tian Yuanyuan shook her head. Even if they made a bold guess, there was no factual basis to prove that the Serpent God recorded above was the ancestor of their Celestial Snake Clan.
"The city in the sky mentioned above is probably the giant city we are in now. The Giant Spirit Clan, it seems, are those giant humanoid creatures in the relief. No wonder the buildings here are so huge, they are for giants to live in."
Tian Xiaoxiao thought of the giant relief she had just seen, and then she suddenly understood why the buildings in the city were so huge.
"The traces of battle left on the city wall are probably left over from the battle with the Demon Clan," Tian Fangfang looked in the direction of the city wall, with countless knife marks and arrow holes, but the city wall stood firm.
"But... the buildings in this city are so well preserved, but what about the Giant Spirit Clan?"
Tian Xiaoxiao asked.
The other three sisters shook their heads.
"Continue upwards and see if there are any new clues."
The four sisters were optimistic. They didn't care why only they appeared in this city. When they arrived, they weren't worried or scared at all. Instead, they were full of curiosity and had a sense of anticipation for adventure and decryption.
However, the remaining information on the totem pillar recorded the major events of the Giant Spirit Clan, such as under the guidance of the Serpent God, they once again repelled the Demon Clan army. The Serpent God was mentioned many times, but apart from the four words "Serpent God", there was no other useful information.
"What, in the end, I only know the Serpent God, but I don't even know what he looks like. This Giant Spirit Clan admires their Serpent God so much, but they don't carve it on this totem pillar."
At the top of the totem pillar, Tian Xiaoxiao said with a resentful tone.
"Perhaps it is because the Serpent God is too powerful to be easily recorded," Tian Zhengzheng said.
"Third Sister is right. Uncle Master said that powerful creatures will be sensed even if you think of their names in your heart. Ordinary objects are not enough to carry more information."
Tian Fangfang said.
"Okay!" Tian Xiaoxiao didn't understand, but she felt a little regretful. If there was more information about the Serpent God on the totem pillar, maybe she could have deduced the relationship between the Serpent God and their Celestial Snake Clan.
Now that she only knows these four words, she has a feeling of being stuck in her throat, which is extremely depressing.
"Rumble!"
At this moment, there was a shaking of the earth, and the four sisters standing on the top of the totem pillar also felt a shaking.
In the sky, a huge shadow of a demon appeared, covering the sky and the sun, and it was extremely terrifying.
"What's wrong? Is it the end of the world?"
Tian Xiaoxiao exclaimed, startled by the shadow of the demon that covered the sky.
