Chapter 646: I guess I needed the rest



It was uncommon to even come across the name Celestial. Hence, Alec questioned the system regarding the Celestial spirits and how they were different from the mystical spirits, but the system went into a slumber.

"Don't tell me Soul exhausted all its strength?"

He whispered under his breath. Suddenly, Lara patted his shoulder, prompting him to look back at her.

"What's the plan? I don't think we should wait around. There are three trial grounds around the rock formation. How about we separate into three groups and enter each? It would be easier to search for clues regarding the tomb's exit this way."

Alec pondered for a moment. Splitting up didn't seem ideal, but Lara had a point. He concurred with her, and the rest were on board as well. They decided to clear the trial grounds individually and regroup outside the rock formation.

At that moment, Nox landed on Yue's shoulder with narrowed eyes. He glanced at the three massive statues once more.

"Hey... don't you think these statues look somewhat familiar?"

Yue glanced at the statues.

"They do look familiar..."

Suddenly, her eyes flashed with surprise as she recognized the woman statue. Quickly, she approached Jian.

"Jian, don't these statues bear a resemblance to the three individuals we saw in the ancient memory triggered by Kyler? Although the memory was blurry, I'm certain the woman's facial features match the one in the memory."

Jian's eyes widened.

"Wait, now that you mentioned it, I remember! The face of the woman's statue bears a striking resemblance to the one in the ancient memory!"

Alec and the rest heard them talking, and Jian quickly explained to them about the old memory Kyle found at the spot where they all ascended to the transcendent rank using the platform. He revealed that the three individuals in the memory were, in fact, the creators of the tomb!

Zron's eyes narrowed in thought.

"If what Jian is saying is accurate, would not that imply that these three trial grounds hold significant power within this tomb? I believe we might discover a hint to escape this tomb within these trials."

Susan and Yon nodded in agreement. If these three statues truly belonged to the creators of this tomb, it was possible that they could discover clues about the exit through them.

Reguis clapped his hands.

He was hesitant. Getting stronger mattered, but his life mattered more. After a moment, he sighed and cautiously stepped into one of the trial grounds.

"I can't keep lagging because there's someone stronger ahead. To get stronger, I must confront my fears head-on!"

He entered the woman statue, similar to Jian, Yue, Nox, Nine, and Susan.

However, due to Jian's bad luck, the group encountered a more challenging path, and he went ahead of them.

As they explored the trial grounds, within the structure constructed from layers of stacked rocks, Kyle finally woke up.

He blinked a few times to gather his thoughts. His mind and body both were feeling

refreshed.

"I guess I needed the rest."

His gaze landed on the crimson bird napping beside him, prompting a chuckle from him.

"Don't tell me she dozed off while keeping watch? I appreciate that even after I passed out,

I'm still in one piece."

He shifted, and Bia's eyes snapped open at the motion around her.

-"Who!?"

The phoenix assumed a defensive posture, fearing an undead had infiltrated the structure. However, she sighed in relief upon seeing Kyle standing up.

-"You're finally awake, huh? I nearly died of hunger and boredom."

Kyle's eyes sparkled with amusement at her words. He retrieved some fruits from his mind space and placed them in front of Bia.

"You did a great job protecting me. Now it's my turn. You can rest as long as you want."

Bia let out a sneer.

-"Of course, I'm going to do nothing but eat and sleep for the next few days!"
