"That... that's... Young Master, isn't it?!" Han Yu stammered.

Below the high platform, a figure was nimbly and vigorously climbing up the pillar like a monkey.

It was none other than the Young Master they had been searching for.

Under the watchful eyes of Fatty and the others, the Young Master moved as if on flat ground on the pillar, which was about a meter in diameter, quickly climbing upwards. In a short while, he reached the high platform. Then, in a very strange posture, he squatted in front of the statue, staring at it eye to eye. The statue did not react in any way.

A long stalemate ensued, and everything on the high platform seemed to freeze. No matter how Fatty and the others shouted, the Young Master remained unmoved, as if he had turned into another statue.

Fatty said, "Young Master hasn't gone crazy again, has he..."

These intermittent episodes left them feeling helpless, so they decided to wait and see, hoping that the Young Master would return to normal after a while.

At this moment, Rou Yi suddenly remembered something and said to Fatty and Han Yu, "That's right, I had something important to tell you just now, but it was interrupted by the sudden events."

"I understand the patterns on the wall," Rou Yi said directly, without keeping them in suspense. "I think I know the secret of the underground palace."

Fatty and Han Yu shifted their attention from me to Rou Yi, listening to her explain the secret of the underground palace.

Rou Yi had first seen these graphic characters in the room of the underground base laboratory. At first, she felt that these graphics were some kind of writing, but because the sample of graphics was too small, she pondered for a long time without breaking the mystery.

Later, in the temple, her research was just beginning to show promise when it was interrupted by my inexplicable madness.

This time, in the shrine, she had enough time to read all the graphics on the walls and finally deciphered the meaning of the graphics –

These graphics are actually variants of some kind of ancient hieroglyphics.

The meaning of the text in the B area room of the underground base is not complicated. Translated, it means: "Built in the year of Jiang Shen 3021."

"Jiang Shen" should be the era name used in the underground palace.

The hieroglyphs in the temple completely explained the origin of "Jiang Shen" –

"One night more than five thousand years ago, a flying star (meteorite) streaked across the night sky and eventually fell somewhere in the Himalayas. From then on, a peak in the Himalayas has emitted a dazzling yellow-green light all year round, illuminating the night sky in that area.

A primitive tribe called the Gakye, living in the Kathmandu Valley on the southern slope of the Himalayas, could just observe the luminous peak in the mountains. The Gakye tribe called this luminous peak the Holy Peak. kuai shuge

The young tribal leader, Rao, decided to lead his younger brother, Dakan, and the brave young people of the tribe to seek the divine迹.

The team set off from the tribe and, after more than thirty days of arduous trekking, finally found the Holy Peak they had been looking for. But when they reached their destination, only the leader and his brother remained, and all the others had died or disappeared on the way to find the Holy Peak.

There was indeed a god on the Holy Peak. The god enlightened the tribal leader and his brother who came to find the Holy Peak. They called the god 'Zanbi Jia,' meaning the omnipotent being.

That year was designated as the first year of Jiang Shen."

This may be the earliest religious record. Gautama Siddhartha only founded Buddhism in Kapilavastu more than three thousand years ago, a difference of two thousand years from when the Gakye tribe found the Holy Peak and established the Gakye religious belief.

The hieroglyphs in the shrine are about the story of the Gakye:

"...Not long after the Gakye tribal leaders, Rao and Dakan, found the Holy Peak, they decided to move the tribe there. However, the harsh environment and the shortage of food left only a hundred or so people out of the tribe of more than three hundred, almost all men. People had to eat the corpses of their dead companions to survive.

The god on the Holy Peak transmitted his voice to the survivors in the tribe through Rao. After these hundred or so people in the tribe were blessed by the god, they were transformed as if reborn. Dakan led these hundred or so people to fight in all directions. They were like war gods descended from the sky, conquering all the tribes near the mountains. Dakan was even known as the Undying God of War.

Legend has it that Dakan's head was smashed with a stone axe in battle. Dakan fell to the ground, but not long after, his shattered skull began to recover, his wound gradually healed, and then he got up from the ground and joined the battle again. And those hundred or so warriors were also extremely brave, often achieving a record of taking on ten opponents each. They did not sleep or rest during battle, and they would fight to the very end even if they were bleeding or had lost limbs.

Before coming to the Holy Peak, the Gakye tribe was just a small tribe that was bullied and forced to migrate by other tribes.

After several battles, the Gakye tribe's reputation spread far and wide. Many remote tribes, after hearing the rumors, traveled long distances to explore the gods and seek shelter, and merged into the Gakye tribe.

After those tribes merged into the Gakye tribe, Rao established the Gakye theocracy, proclaiming himself the God-King and appointing Dakan as the King. The Gakye theocracy was a theocratic state, and in this country, divine power was above all else.

Unfortunately, neither Rao, Dakan, nor the hundred or so warriors had any offspring.

From the day it was established, the Gakye theocracy began to quarry stone and build underground palaces in the mountains. Among the people who built the underground palaces were both captured slaves and warriors who had once fought bloody battles.

King Dakan died thirty years after Jiang Shen. God-King Rao, under the will of the god, directly selected the king from the people of the Gakye theocracy. They called the process of selecting the king the God's Choice. Coincidentally, the lifespan of the kings chosen by God was only thirty years, and they all died after thirty years.

The God-Chosen Kings of later generations all had the same abilities as the first king, Dakan. They were invincible and won every battle. They even marched to the Apennine Peninsula and fought against the armies of ancient Rome.

During the existence of the Gakye Kingdom, God-King Rao remained alive, but the price of longevity was that he never left the mountain after setting foot on the Holy Peak.

In the 2,500th year of Jiang Shen, around 500 BC, a massive earthquake occurred near the Holy Peak. The earth shook and the mountains swayed, giving people no chance to react. Most of the underground palaces of the Gakye theocracy were destroyed in this earthquake, and most of the people of the theocracy died in this earthquake.

On the day of the earthquake, Ansa, the eighty-third king who was campaigning abroad, and more than two thousand warriors died mysteriously.

After the earthquake, the Holy Peak no longer had its strange light.

At the same time, after the eighty-third king, the Gakye theocracy no longer had God-Chosen Kings.

From the 2,500th year of Jiang Shen to the 3,000th year of Jiang Shen, the Gakye theocracy experienced several major earthquakes in the Himalayas and finally came to an end after the 3,000th year of Jiang Shen, around the first century AD."

There is no record of the Gakye theocracy in world history. An ancient kingdom that lasted for three thousand years, from its establishment to its demise, was not recorded by the world, as if it had never existed.
