Rustle.

On the ground, the sound of debris falling echoed once again.

Wang Ye looked down at the ground and instantly inhaled sharply.

It was bone remnants!

Although countless ages had passed, and these bone remnants were barely recognizable as such, who was Wang Ye?

In Dragon Country, he was now a great medical expert!

With just a cursory glance and his understanding of bones, Wang Ye could tell, despite their current condition, that these were indeed bone remnants.

He glanced at the armor in his hands.

The bone remnants had fallen from this piece of armor.

And the sound of the bones shattering had only occurred when he had lifted this armor!

That meant...

In an instant, an idea so unbelievable even to Wang Ye himself crossed his mind—despite the incredulity, he knew this thought that had emerged in his mind was true!

These armors contained real people!

The reason why the nine rows of nine suits of armor stood in such orderly fashion was not because they had been arranged by someone else but because the people in these armors had maintained their stance even in their dying moments.

They stood in neat rows!

And ultimately succumbed to death!

Even in death, none of these people lay down; they still maintained their posture.

Thinking this, Wang Ye felt a deep sense of shock!

What kind of resolve had these people had to be able to do this?

They stood unyielding even in death!

This was not just due to powerful willpower, but also firm belief!

Recalling that, just as he had lifted this armor, it felt as if the other eighty armors were watching him, with an ominous sense of threat, Wang Ye felt that it was no illusion!

That feeling was real!

The people within these armors must have comprehended some sort of power; even though they had been dead for so long, a faint part of that will and power might still remain until now.

Of course.

This was before this ancient relic had been unearthed.

Now that it had been opened by Wang Ye, the vestiges of power contained within would likely dissipate soon.

At this thought, Wang Ye felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

If it hadn't been for him opening this ancient relic, then the consciousness of these people might have persisted even longer.

But now.

All was gone.

It wasn't because of any excessive compassion on Wang Ye's part, but because he had been deeply moved and affected by the spirit contained within the hearts of these people!

Even in death, they did not fall to the ground!

But they kept standing.

Ancient ruins!

No matter the specific year within which these ancient ruins originated, the closest they dated back to was several hundred thousand years ago.

And this meant...

That these people had stood here for hundreds of thousands of years, and it was only until just now, when Wang Ye opened these ancient ruins, that the will of these people finally dissipated.

What kind of state of mind was that?

What kind of boldness?

At least, for the current Wang Ye, he was unable to achieve such a feat.

Wang Ye came before the formation of eighty-one armors, stood straight, and bowed deeply to these eighty-one armors!

No matter what purpose they fought for back then.

No matter what their goals were.

It was their spirit alone that deserved Wang Ye's admiration, and it warranted him bowing to them here!

However, what Wang Ye did not know was that, in a deeper part of the ancient ruins, there was a silver armor.

This silver armor, its gaze directed towards where Wang Ye stood. Though the armor had some hollow parts, at this moment it seemed as if... it contained some sort of expression.

From within the silver armor, divine thoughts kept emerging.

"Boss, we should just take care of this guy outright. Dammit, our divine thoughts could have lasted a while longer, but with his arrival, our divine thoughts can't even hold on any further."

"Right, and this guy, coming here, definitely wants to take everything from our place. We'll just kill him, and then he won't be able to do anything!"

Mixed voices kept sounding out, the noise was quite chaotic.

Yet, although these voices were chaotic, they only conveyed one meaning.

That was to kill Wang Ye right here!

These divine thoughts were the ones remaining from those eighty-one armors, and at this moment, their existence was about to vanish.

Therefore, these divine thoughts had all converged upon the silver armor before this, speaking to it, hoping they could together utilize the power of the silver armor to deal with Wang Ye right there.

And the murderous intent emitted by these divine thoughts, the threat they conveyed, Wang Ye had no idea and could not sense at all.

That is to say...

The moment these divine thoughts decided to control the silver armor and target Wang Ye, it was very likely that Wang Ye would be completely unaware and would be dealt with by the entities residing within the silver armor.

However, just as these divine thoughts were about to manipulate the silver armor to strike at Wang Ye, they saw him, with a solemn and serious face, come before eighty-one black armors and bow deeply.

In their era, bowing was not customary.

Hence, these divine thoughts had no idea what Wang Ye's bow signified.

But their ignorance did not mean they couldn't discern its meaning.

As Wang Ye bowed before them, the solemnity, seriousness, and even the guilt deep in his eyes, all let them understand what Wang Ye's gesture signified.

The previously chaotic divine thoughts instantly fell silent at this moment.

After a period of silence, a divine thought spoke:

"Actually, isn't the earlier dispersal of our divine thoughts a kind of liberation for us as well?"
