"And I think this might not be the only way to destroy it!"
I hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "There is another method, which I can only guess at. I don't know if it will work!"
"But it doesn't matter!"
Ghost Granny sighed and said in a low voice, "With the raising of corpses and the immense energy fused with the Heart of Atlantis, the opponent's strength has completely surpassed ours and exceeded our initial estimates. It's tough! Since you have a method, let's give it a try; we can only treat a dead horse as a living one!"
"Soul!"
I gritted my teeth and revealed my thoughts: "Lord Frosa and the Intercepting Daoist have different objectives, and this is crucial! The Intercepting Daoist aims to obtain a powerful demon like Voldemort, willing to bring suffering to countless beings for this purpose. But what about Lord Frosa? His heart is solely focused on Atlantis. Even if he collaborates with the Intercepting Daoist, it is for the safety of Atlantis. Although there are signs of delusion and an overwhelming lack of security, his intention is undoubtedly to protect Atlantis. For Atlantis, he would even sacrifice himself to become Voldemort! If he knew that he was being played by the Intercepting Daoist, that his seven-year-old son was killed by him, and that his beloved Atlantis had been sunk by the Intercepting Daoist, leading to countless casualties..."
At this point, Ghost Granny seemed to already guess what I was going to say next!
I took a long breath and addressed the still somewhat confused Bald Qiang and the others: "What is the highest realm of raising corpses? The unity of Corpse and Soul! Only with the unity of Corpse and Soul can one raise supreme corpses! For example, an immortal corpse or Uncorrupted Bones! If the soul is gone, the best we can achieve is a Drought Demon at most! The Intercepting Daoist has been collecting the strongest monsters; I suspect that for his purpose, he will not let Lord Frosa's soul escape. He will definitely seal Lord Frosa's soul within his body. However, in order to make Voldemort completely submit to him, he might erase Frosa's memories from his Three Souls and Seven Spirits—this is my guess!
You all work in this field; you should understand how difficult it is to completely erase a person's consciousness! This matter is very complex and hard to explain. I think even if the Intercepting Daoist were truly divine, he might not be able to accomplish it. Because while surface memories can be erased, what lies deep in a person's subconscious cannot be wiped away—like one's will!
In other words, even if my guess is correct and the Intercepting Daoist erases Frosa's memories, we can still use what remains in Frosa's subconscious. Frosa loves Atlantis deeply; there must be imprints of Atlantis in his subconscious. As long as we keep poking at those scars, I refuse to believe it won't affect him!"
"Impressive, truly impressive!"
Bald Qiang smiled as he patted my shoulder and said, "I have to say, brother, I admire your brain; how much stuff do you have in there? Your imagination and reasoning skills are incredible!"
"Not that amazing!" Big Mouth Lee chimed in from the side with a sarcastic tone.
We all glanced at him and couldn't help but laugh, ignoring his comment!
"Indeed, deciphering the information left behind before Atlantis' downfall has really helped us out!"
Ghost Granny let out a long breath and said, "What he just said really woke me up. If the Intercepting Daoist really left Frosa's Three Souls and Seven Spirits in the corpse, then I have a way! This time, the Intercepting Daoist is likely to stumble!"
As for what that method was, Ghost Granny didn't say; she only smiled and shook her head. Although she was smiling, I still caught a glimpse of loneliness in her eyes, and I vaguely understood what her method might be. It was probably one of those last-resort techniques that could only be used when absolutely necessary.
"By the way, child."
At that moment, Ghost Granny seemed to suddenly remember something and asked me, "Does this Gold Plate record any locations for raising corpses?"
"It does!"
I let out a long breath and said, "The place for raising corpses is right beneath our feet! The records on the mural of the mermaid's Homeland are correct; the location for raising corpses is indeed at the end of the Sacred River! And this Sacred River is actually right below us! Didn't you notice that this place we are in is particularly humid, and the soil's salinity isn't very high? All along, we thought it was seawater seeping into the soil causing all this, but we overlooked the issue of soil salinity. If the soil had high salinity and tasted somewhat salty, then it would definitely be seawater. However, when I was interpreting the Gold Plate, I tested the soil here; its salinity is low. This means that what makes the soil here moist isn't seawater but actually that Sacred River!"
With this pause, I began to explain to them about the Corpse Raising Ground based on the information recorded on the Gold Plate.
The Sacred River, in fact, was not originally an Underground River. At least during the time of the founding monarchs of Atlantis, when they established their nation, the Sacred River was still a surface river. Its source was right where we were standing; it formed from seawater seeping into the soil, filtered by it, and accumulated countless underground waters before bubbling up to create a Fresh Water river. Initially, this Fresh Water river was the lifeblood of Atlantis, and the city of Poseidonia was built along this river. It was considered the origin of Atlantis Civilization, much like how the Peacock River is perceived by the Loulan people, hence it was deemed sacred!
Like the Peacock River in the Taklamakan Desert, due to excessive exploitation of water resources and geological changes, this river later turned underground and became an Underground River!
At this point, the people of Atlantis did something very foolish!
The people of Atlantis didn't understand feng shui or the principles of yin and yang. After the Sacred River turned underground, they actually relocated their emperors' Tombs here, turning this place into an utterly desolate graveyard!
From a perspective of Feng Shui Divination, it's not advisable to have a graveyard built over an Underground River!
Why?
Because water belongs to yin, and graveyards are also places that gather yin energy. When these two come together, they do not support each other nor do they conflict; they disrupt the cycle of yin and yang and reincarnation, leading to significant problems—especially since yin energy gathers in an Underground River!
The Sacred River had thus transformed into the Yin River!
This river was the lifeblood of Poseidonia, flowing throughout the region. Once it became the Yin River, it would continuously gather dark energy. The eerie energy of Poseidonia, and even that of all Atlantis, would likely be absorbed into this river!
The Intercepting Daoist was a master of Feng Shui Divination, a true ancestral-level expert. Upon arrival, he immediately discerned the secrets of the Land of the Sleeping Kings and initiated a scheme to use the Yin River for corpse raising. By sinking Atlantis and exterminating all Atlanteans, he aimed to harness the endless eerie energy and resentment of countless souls to nourish Voldemort through the Yin River!
As for how Voldemort was sent to the depths of the Yin River in the first place?
That was also a monumental undertaking!
According to records on the Gold Plate, after devising his plan to create Voldemort, the Intercepting Daoist began this project. He opened a pyramid belonging to a figure named Canberra the Great in Atlantis, which led underground. He then excavated a passageway and ultimately found the Sacred River that flowed beneath. At the end of this Yin River, he constructed a Corpse Raising Ground for Voldemort!
Thus, the entrance to this Corpse Raising Ground must be located within Canberra the Great's pyramid!
This pyramid was situated at the very center of the Land of the Sleeping Kings because Canberra the Great was one of Atlantis's greatest monarchs. It was during his reign that Atlantis achieved its Universal Society!
"Good, good, good! That saves us quite a bit of effort!"
Ghost Granny exclaimed three times in approval before rising to her feet and said solemnly, "Let’s go witness this so-called Yin River corpse raising!"
