Chapter 440: Chapter440-The Hidden Secret of the Sea of Statues

Caelan did not give up on exploring. Instead, he continued searching to see whether these statues had left behind any clues.

Very soon, he noticed that at the center point of each geometric shape, there would be a specially shaped pictographic character.

However, even after using [Eye of Insight], he still could not analyze the specific meaning of these pictographic characters.

So he wrote them down and asked Avril beside him.

In truth, Caelan had only asked casually with the attitude of trying anything in a desperate situation.

However, the next instant, a dazed expression appeared on Avril’s face.

"I seem... I seem to recognize these characters, but I don’t remember their specific meaning."

Caelan froze slightly.

Then his gaze locked tightly onto Avril in front of him.

Avril became somewhat nervous under Caelan’s stare and was just about to continue speaking when waves of color suddenly rippled across her wings, constantly switching back and forth between gold and silver.

"Sister, what is it? Why are you in such a hurry to come out? Can it wait a little?"

"All right, all right, then you can come out. But let’s make this clear first. Lord Caelan is a friend this time, not an enemy. Don’t attack him..."

As Avril muttered to herself, her wings rapidly transformed into gold at a visible speed.

When Avril opened her eyes again, her golden pupils announced the arrival of another person.

"Alice?"

Caelan narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively.

On the other side, Alice nodded lightly. Her gaze was cold, carrying a trace of anger.

"Why did you bring Avril to this damned place?"

"Do you know what this place represents?"

Hearing Alice’s questioning, Caelan frowned slightly.

"If you knew something, you could have stopped Avril’s choice directly, instead of complaining to me after things already happened."

"Forget it. I have nothing to say to you. Go back."

After saying this, Caelan turned around directly, preparing to continue exploring the surrounding statues.

However, just as he turned, Alice grabbed his shoulder.

"Hey, don’t act rashly. Do you know that right now, you’re like a warrior standing on the edge of a blade, one step away from eternal damnation at any moment?"

At this point, Alice paused.

She also seemed to understand that her tone had not been very friendly.

After taking a deep breath, Alice tried her best to calm her voice.

"Human, these characters are unique to the Ecosi Region. Each character contains a passage of content, not just a single symbol. That is why you cannot understand these characters."

"I can tell you the meaning of these characters, but you need to promise me that you will not let Avril continue participating in the subsequent exploration."

"Do you agree to this deal?"

In truth, Caelan had never intended to let Avril put herself in danger in the first place.

Therefore, without even thinking, he nodded in agreement.

Seeing Caelan agree, Alice remained silent for a moment.

Then she pointed toward the first circle and said, "The character inside this circle represents a call to the gods. If my understanding is not wrong, then it can be confirmed that this is the beginning of a sacrificial ritual."

At this point, Alice paused.

Then she raised her hand and swept the tip of her index finger across all the statues that formed the circle.

"These creatures living in the Ecosi Region used their own lives as the price to conduct this sacrificial ritual. They wanted to summon a supreme existence. That is the content recorded here."

After hearing Alice’s explanation, Caelan narrowed his eyes slightly.

If Wesker had not deceived him, then according to the history of the Celestial Realm, these creatures of the Celestial Realm had absolutely no need to perform a summoning ritual.

After all, the ones they worshiped were none other than the God of Puppets, or perhaps the King of Celestial Realm.

Other minor faiths could not possibly appear on such a large scale!

Just as Caelan was completely unable to understand this, Alice beside him continued pointing toward the square.

"The content of this character roughly talks about how many resources their sacrificial ritual consumed, how many rules it followed, and so on..."

As Alice spoke, she pointed toward the third shape—the triangle.

"Here, they have already spoken the name of the god they wanted to summon—Edama, the God of Puppets!???"

Alice’s tone suddenly rose sharply.

Immediately afterward, cold sweat instantly covered her body.

No.

Something was definitely wrong!

They were creatures of the Celestial Realm, and creatures of the Ecosi Region at that.

Why would they need to summon the God of Puppets?

Their prayers alone should have been enough for the God of Puppets to hear them.

His Majesty Edama could even descend personally.

So why would they need to summon him?

Next, Alice did not even need Caelan to urge her.

She immediately continued interpreting the rest at full speed.

...

"They prayed for the descent of Edama, the God of Puppets. After paying a tremendous price and making great sacrifices, Edama, the God of Puppets, finally agreed to descend..."

"...On the day of the descent, the creatures of the Ecosi Region staked everything they had. However, they never expected that the Edama, God of Puppets they summoned, would actually be a statue!"

"...Everyone went mad. No one believed His Majesty Edama would send a statue to descend. We tried to establish communication with His Majesty Edama again, but that very action drew the attention of XXXXXXXX. In the end, everyone turned into statues..."

Alice’s explanation came to an abrupt end.

Afterward, the entire Sea of Statues fell into an eerie silence.

Whether it was Caelan or Alice, neither of them could speak from shock at this moment.

They could not understand at all why things had turned out this way!

For Edama, the God of Puppets, to descend upon the Ecosi Region, a summoning ritual was actually required?

How was that possible?

And these living beings of the Ecosi Region—whose attention had they drawn that caused the entire region to be sealed off?

A powerful existence subconsciously appeared in Caelan’s mind.

Back then, it was also the King of Celestial Realm who had chosen to seal off all the passages.

So could the one hidden away be the King of Celestial Realm?

Just as Caelan fell into thought, Alice suddenly discovered several very tiny characters on the body of one statue.

"...Our operation failed, but XXXXXX did not obtain victory either. He wanted to kill the Chosen One, but was..."

"Thank the heavens. This world is not entirely filled with madmen..."
