Dejiko walked quickly, looking a little eager.
He has been here many times and has not encountered any danger, so he is not as cautious as Ryan, but Ryan did not relax his vigilance and observed his surroundings.
Every 20 meters or so on both sides of the stone road, there is an obelisk, like a street lamp on the side of the road.
These obelisks are all carved out of a single piece of rock, with four sides, a width of nearly five meters, and a height of more than fifty meters. It gradually shrinks from bottom to top to form a spire, and the top is shaped like a pyramid spire. The body of the stele is engraved with complicated patterns and runes, revealing the vicissitudes of life and simplicity, as well as the power of faith.
Ren visited with the eyes of the soul and found that the pictures and texts on the obelisk were similar to the stone pillar totem of the Sunstrider tribe, and many of the contents corresponded to each other.
The content on each obelisk is mostly the same, but it is completely different in a certain detail, which seems to be a number or coordinates, pointing to a specific target and location.
Halfway through the stone road, Ren suddenly stared.
He sensed that the power of faith on an obelisk was extremely strong. At this moment, the patterned runes on the stele were running, and the power of faith coming from the distant void gathered on the spire and collected through the body of the stele. , flowing into the ground and disappearing.
"Is the obelisk used to collect the power of faith?"
Ren was stunned.
He couldn't help slowing down, carefully observing the obelisk that was still responding. After the power of faith gathered, he entered the ground, looked in the direction of the fluctuation of the power of faith, and finally pointed to the magnificent pyramid ahead.
Dejiko noticed that Renn hadn't followed, and turned around and asked, "Lord, what's the matter?"
"It's okay." Ren shook his head.
The power of faith is invisible to the naked eye, and Dejko cannot discover the true function of the obelisk, and its form is different from the stone pillar totem. It is likely that these steles are used as decorations.
Scanning the past, he soon found several obelisks in operation.
Obviously, the power of faith collected by each obelisk comes from different places.
"Your Excellency, do you know that other than the Sunstrider tribe, there are other people who believe in the God of the Sun?" Ren asked calmly.
"In the old continent, we should be the only ones." Djiko shook his bull's head, and replied in an uncertain tone: "However, it is rumored that in the primitive jungle south of the new continent, there may be some troll tribes Belief in our Lord, but too far away to prove."
"You mean the trolls in the Southern Continent?" Ren was a little puzzled.
The New World is actually made up of two continents, one north and one south, connected by a narrow land bridge that looks like a streamer.
People often say that the New World usually refers to the Northern Continent, that is, "Northern Runes". In the last era, the elves and dwarves developed brilliant civilizations on both sides of the Northern Continent, but were later destroyed by the invasion of the abyss.
The Southern Continent has always been covered by vast virgin forests, full of dangers, complex terrain and difficult to penetrate, and has never been developed by humans, elves or dwarves. According to some explorers, there are many troll tribes hidden in the primeval forests of the southern continent, and there is an ancient troll empire that has been passed down from the first era to the present, and it has been tens of thousands of years, but it has never been confirmed.
Ryan has also heard these rumors, but he doesn't know whether they are true or not.
"When my lord Anser did not fall, his main believers were trolls, and there were also some tauren, elves, and humans." Dejico said as he walked, "You know, my lord Anser was born in prehistoric times. At that time, Arranus was still the world of trolls."

"When the trolls established the first era, there were several troll kingdoms serving our lord."
"When He fell, it was already in the middle of the second era. It was the age of giants and dragons. The troll civilization had already collapsed, and the empire was divided into four or five. It is difficult to survive in the barren land."
"It is not surprising that some unknown tribe of trolls maintain their faith in our Lord."
"I met a tribe of desert trolls who believed in our Lord in Atas. Unfortunately, they degenerated into a semi-intelligent race, leaving only a small amount of traditional instincts, not to mention true belief."
When Dejiko said this, his face was full of helplessness and regret.
Ren nodded without speaking.
He looked at the obelisks on both sides and counted them all the way. There were more than 80 of them collecting the power of faith, and there was a lot of power of faith, which was being sent to the pyramid all the time.
It can be seen from this that there must be believers of the God of the Scorching Sun outside of the Sun Chaser tribe.
Ren can't accurately estimate how many believers there are in these survivors. He guesses that it is between 200,000 and 3 million. It is rumored that there are troll tribes in the Central South Continent, or races from other planes.
"No wonder the god of the scorching sun has hope of resurrection."
"wrong!"
Ren suddenly reacted.
The resurrection of gods is more difficult than that of mortals. In the history of the gods of Ellenus, there are only a handful of gods who have been successfully resurrected. The experience of each resurrection is a miracle, which is almost impossible to replicate.
After the fall of the vast majority of gods, they disappeared into the long river of time without a sound.
For example, Moradin, the "God of Forging and Craftsmanship" of the dwarves, fell in the last era, and there are still a large number of dwarves who maintain their belief in him and pray every day. Even if the dwarves are gone now, there are definitely more followers of Moradin than the God of Burning Sun, maybe ten times more, but there is no sign of Moradin's resurrection.
In contrast, the flame of faith of my friend Zoltan was almost extinguished, dead silent, and the situation was much worse than that of the God of Burning Sun.
The same is the fallen god, Moradin has no hope of resurrection with more followers of the remnants;
But the God of Scorching Sun, who has fewer believers, can answer prayers. Even if there is a problem with his response, the situation is much better than that of Moradin. What is he relying on?
There must be amazing secrets hidden in the pyramid!
After advancing for several miles, the team finally reached the end of the stone road and came to the foot of the pyramid.
The entire tower stands on a huge platform. There are hundreds of stone steps between the platform and the stone path. Going up the steps and reaching the platform at the base of the tower is like climbing a flat mountaintop square.
The pyramid in front of him was made of countless huge stone blocks, each of which was more than five meters long, and they were neatly built, and they were piled up one level at a time, forming a slope. The four slopes converge at the top of the tower, only tens of meters away from the dome, as if within reach.
The team continued to move forward, the closer they were to the pyramid, the more they could feel its magnificence and shock.
Looking up at the pyramid, everyone felt a sense of insignificance.
Ren was shocked.
This is taller, bigger, and more spectacular than the largest pyramid in the previous life. The dome here is higher than the passage exit, more than 300 meters, which means that the height of the pyramid is also close to 300 meters, twice the height of the largest pyramid in the previous life, and more than four times the volume!
The entrance of the pyramid is facing the direction of the passage. From the stairs, there are also obelisks standing on both sides, which are taller than the obelisks below.
Ren's gaze swept over, and there were more than a dozen of the obelisks above that were in operation.
He also found the stone pillar totem corresponding to the Sunstrider tribe, but Djiko didn't notice it, and walked past the obelisks.
Finally, a group of people came to the entrance of the pyramid.
This is a 20-meter-high stone gate with exquisite patterns engraved on it, depicting the miracle of Anser, the god of scorching sun. There are two tall stone statues standing on the left and right of the gate. They should look like god attendants, wearing armor, holding spears, and their eyes closed as if they are praying.
"My lord, we have arrived."
Dejiko turned to look at Ren, lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of waking up the god behind the door, and said, "Open this door, and inside is the mausoleum of our lord."
"Have you tried it?" Ren asked, looking at the heavy stone door.
"Of course, countless times." Dejko heard what Ren meant, walked to the door, and pressed his huge palm on the door to infuse the power of the holy light.
Snapped!
With a soft sound, a ray of light emerged from the stone door and bounced the tauren's hand away. At the same time, a beam of sunlight appeared out of nowhere and shone down on his head.
Dejiko obviously knew that he would be attacked, but he didn't try to dodge. He let the beam of light hit his bull's head, and the barrier of holy light that had just been opened collapsed instantly, letting out a muffled groan.
There was pain on his face, it was obvious that this beam of light was uncomfortable.
Ren watched the whole process very carefully.
That layer of magic protection is activated by the runes on the door, and the energy comes from inside the pyramid. The falling light beam is the counterattack ability of the protective circle. Its power is equivalent to that of the seven-ring spell, which means that Djiko is a legendary high-level sunwalker. Weaker legends have been burned to ashes by the beam.
Dejiko slowed down and said with a wry smile: "As long as someone touches the door, it will trigger the 'Light of the Sun' to counterattack, and there is no way to avoid it."
"So you didn't want to escape." Ren suddenly realized.
"Yes, and the greater the pressure or energy exerted on the door, the greater the power of the sun's flame." Dejko was very helpless. He saw Renn approaching the door and stretched out his hand, and quickly persuaded: "My lord, don't take it lightly." try."
Before the words fell, Ren's hand was on the door.
He didn't inject soul power or other energy, he just exerted force, as if he wanted to push open the door.
hum...
The heavy stone door trembled and made a loud noise, and the rune circle on the door was immediately activated, shining a dazzling light, making the tauren who was watching the movement here subconsciously close their eyes or turn their heads away.
A thick beam of light descended from the sky, shining on Ren's head like lightning.
Dejko paled in horror.
This is the most terrifying 'Sunshine Light' he has ever seen, at least above the eighth ring, even close to the nine ring spell.
However, the next moment, Ren disappeared.
The sun's light shone on the ground, leaving a piece of scorched black without causing any damage. With a snap, Ren's figure turned into lightning and returned to the door, carefully observing the runes on the door.
"My lord..." Dejiko was dumbfounded.
Ren turned his head and said with a smile: "I just tried it a little bit. This protective circle is very ingenious and powerful. It is very different from the current magic system. If it was more than 10,000 years ago, I have nothing to do with it , but more than 10,000 years have passed..."
Dejiko's eyes lit up, full of hope.
"After such a long time, no matter how powerful the magic protection is, there will inevitably be problems. As long as I find its loopholes, I can crack it." Ren said calmly, looking confident.
"Very good!"
Dejico was overjoyed. He didn't expect too much from Rennes, and put his hope on Rennes' teacher, that is, the holy soul wizard.
Ren's words changed, and he said again: "But it will take some time for me to crack it."
"How long?" Dejko asked hurriedly.
"Ten to fifteen days." Ren thought for a while before giving the answer.
The joy on Dejiko's face froze, and he said with a sad face: "Our food and water may not last so long."
"I have also stored some food and water here. It should be enough to save a little." Ren took out a large amount of supplies from the nebula ring, which was originally for himself, in case of emergencies. People eat half a year.
"There are so many!"
Dejiko looked at the supplies piled higher than himself, and his face was full of astonishment. How big is the dimensional ring to fit it?
He couldn't help but look at the black ring on Ren's hand, and only then did he realize how valuable it was.
Ren smiled and didn't explain much.
In fact, he can directly open the entrance of the pyramid now. As a result of the attempt just now, the key of the door is effective for it. The reason why he lied to Dejiko, saying that it would take ten days to half a month, was not to crack the magic protection at all, but to create time for Raistlin to create the plane teleportation array, which may not be successful.
In addition, you have to make some preparations before opening the door.
Ren tried casting a spell and found that Anser's mausoleum is a one-way locked space, and the portal can be opened from the inside to the outside, but not vice versa.
Of course, it is completely impossible to teleport in and out of the pyramid.
So he opened an imaginary door leading to the desert ruins outside the mausoleum, and let the remaining tauren and more than fifty Kodos come in, so as not to be roasted by the setting sun for a long time, and there is also a risk of exposure.
After the arrangements were made, Ren began to pretend to study the runes in front of the door.
Through different methods, he activated the runes on the door time and time again, dodged the sun's light, then sat down to meditate for a while, then got up and continued to study. From time to time, I walked around the foot of the pyramid a few times, and climbed to the top of the tower, and found that standing on it would also be attacked by the light of the sun.
After tossing for a long time, he sat down to rest.
While eating dry food and drinking water, his eyes were out of focus, obviously still thinking.
Dejiko and the Tauren didn't dare to disturb Rennes, and the Ultramarines were resting beside them, and Borch had long been sleeping with his newly acquired bolt gun.
No one knew that what Renn had in mind was not to crack the magic protection at all, but to open the phone interface, look at the more than 700 bars of power in the soul pool, and prepare to upgrade and strengthen himself.
