PFC Chapter 466 Across Endless Time, Little Saintess’S Plan!
Chapter 466 Across Endless Time, Little Saintess’S Plan!
The Guardian led Chen Yu into an empty house in the center of the city.
They walked through an underground passage and entered an empty secret room.
The secret room only had a teleportation gate.
After passing through the gate, they entered another secret room.
They left the secret room through a passage and returned to the surface, where there were ruins of a palace.
"This is the former palace of Emperor Salontan," the Guardian said.
"Sir, this way please--"
After going through several more secret passages, they entered a magnificent treasure vault.
There was a large amount of gold, silver, and jewelry scattered everywhere.
The Guardian bent down, picked up a gold coin, and squeezed it in his hand, making a clinking sound.
"This thing is called a gold coin."
"In the imperial era, a gold coin was enough to provide a family with several years of worry-free living."
"By the way, during that era, there were no demons or monsters, and ordinary men could live for a long time."
"They would marry a wife, have a few children, and live a peaceful and leisurely life until old age."
"Yes, besides being killed by demons and monsters, being corrupted and devoured by Abyss, being consumed by Abyss magic, and being tormented to death by illness, there is another way for humans to die."
"To peacefully grow old until the end."
Hearing this, Chen Yu wanted to laugh.
He wanted to tell the Guardian that ordinary humans almost never live to their maximum lifespan, and most of them die from illness due to the Five Decays of Heaven and Man.
But he couldn't laugh.
Because the Guardian's murmurs proved that most people in this small world didn't know that Daoists would die from natural aging.
This was a world where the vast majority of humans would die in abnormal ways!
How pitiful.
"This is the treasure vault of Her Majesty the Empress," the Guardian said with a smile. "It is said to be equivalent to five years of the empire's tax revenue."
"In terms of accumulating wealth, no one can match Her Majesty the Empress."
"By the way, you should know what taxes are, right?"
"Of course," Chen Yu nodded.
"So, did you bring me here to show me something?"
"You can take all of these," the Guardian said. "If your world is well-ordered, they will surely be of great use."
"No need," Chen Yu refused directly.
If it were in his past life, he would be ecstatic in the face of such immense wealth.
He would bring twenty girls to nightclubs, with twenty accompanying him while one watched from the side.
But now, gold, silver, and jewelry had no effect on him.
If he wanted, he could materialize a large pile of them at any time.
As an element, precious metals had a much simpler structure than food, and the amount that could be materialized with the same amount of life force was much larger.
"Just kidding, hehe~"
"I know you don't care about these things, let's continue."
The Guardian winked playfully.
Gold, silver, and jewelry were just the periphery of the treasure vault.
Continuing forward, after passing through several doors, they entered the Transcendent Item Vault.
There were rare enchanted equipment, precious magic scrolls, and many rare materials.
From beginners to Rank Seven, everyone could find something useful.
If you added them all up, even Rank Eight powerhouses would be tempted.
The key was that these things were intact and not expired!
Chen Yu's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
"How were these things preserved?"
The Guardian looked directly into Chen Yu's eyes. "Back then, His Majesty went to great lengths to preserve them~"
"Since there are so many equipment and materials here, why don't you take them out and use them?" Chen Yu asked in confusion.
"In that case, the living conditions for humans would definitely improve a lot."
"Because there is no need to," the Guardian said calmly.
"The current humans are already sufficient for the Guardians to select and pass on."
"Sir, do you really think it is necessary for humans to exist in this world?"
"In a world without light, living a life worse than death, unable to see a glimmer of hope."
"So, the meaning of human existence now is really just to inherit the mission of the Guardians?" Chen Yu said incredulously.
"In a sense, you could say that," the Guardian replied.
"Of course, there are other reasons as well."
"Having too many people is not a good thing."
"The more prosperous human development is, the greater the chance of being targeted by powerful demons."
"Sir, don't forget, this place is also part of the Abyss."
"Besides, these things cannot be eaten... uh, improve the quality of life."
"If that's the case, why bring more people into this world to suffer?"
"You can also choose these things yourself and take them all away."
"Why would I need these worthless things?" Chen Yu laughed. "Continue."
"Alright," the Guardian said without much surprise, leading Chen Yu forward.
After passing through several large doors and corridors, they entered an extremely hidden space.
This room was very small, only about ten square meters, with an altar in the middle.
The altar was floating with many pale green light balls.
The Guardian beckoned with her hand, and a light ball flew into her hand.
The light dissipated, revealing a brown seed.
An apple seed, alive!
The Guardian carefully lifted a floor tile, revealing a moist soil.
After burying the apple seed in the soil, she said to Chen Yu, "Sir, please--"
Chen Yu suddenly realized and waved his hand, releasing a surge of vitality.
Under the faint green light, the seed quickly took root, sprouted, and bloomed into flowers and fruits.
Chen Yu walked forward, picked a bright red apple, and threw it to the Guardian.
"Taste it?"
The Guardian swallowed her saliva and decisively took a bite.
Then she squinted her eyes and showed a happy expression.
"There should be no more tests. What does she want you to tell me? Can you tell me now?" Chen Yu asked calmly.
The Guardian knelt down with a "thump" and bowed before Chen Yu.
"Sir, please forgive me."
"This is indeed her personality, it has nothing to do with you," Chen Yu said with a smile.
Light and darkness intertwined, trials and hints layered upon each other.
While confirming the correctness of the target, it also happened to be able to tell Chen Yu that this was indeed the trap she had left behind.
During the first trial mission, the little Saintess treated Chen Yu in this way.
Every word and action concealed mysteries. What you thought was extremely normal behavior might hide unexpected traps.
When you foolishly thought that she had inexplicably tested you once, her hidden moves had already taken countless steps beneath the table.
Chen Yu really wanted to know if he could guess the intention behind every action of the little Saintess now that he knew her well enough.
"Let me guess, how many times did you test me in total?"
"The first time should be when I mentioned Sophia's name, triggering your testing rule."
"The second time was when I was asked to mention her name."
"The third time was when I was asked to identify the type of that apple seed fossil."
"The fourth time is now, the ultimate test, and also the way to confirm my identity, letting this apple grow."
Am I right?"
