Chen Yaogang finished reading the record on the bronze inscription, "Let me tell you briefly. The original intention of the founding emperor to create a trial maze was to screen offspring and select his ideal heirs in his mind."

"Strictly speaking, Iggs should have participated in the maze trial challenge alone, and we shouldn't have come in."

Iggs also read it once, and he found that Chen Yaogang is indeed much smarter than he seems on the surface, and even these ancient words can be understood. "Stop talking, I was forced to study and practice since I was a child. I have never heard of emperors from other countries who use chainsaws and broken-headed swords to select heirs!"

"If it weren't for that damn meteor shower, I wouldn't have sat on the throne in my life to clean up this mess, and I wouldn't have been forced into this damn maze!"

Langdon also echoed, "In my opinion, the former king who created this maze was indeed a trick! I understand that the Holy Sword hero was worried about the behavior of his descendants' debauchery after creating an epic, but his method was too strange... Who would have poured sulfuric acid and screened the king of the army!"

Yatira also put her hips on her hips and nodded, "Hmph, I hate it as much as my father. I force me to wear high heels to learn dancing, and so on, which makes me bleeding on my feet every day as if I was tortured... If that king hates it so much, he deserves to be thrown into the maze by the new king immediately after he passes the throne, so that he can taste the crazy machine he created."

Chen Yaogang glanced at them, stroked the back of the bronze stone tablet and said, "As far as I know, the Holy Sword Emperor found this method in the Royal Library."

"This method was originally a ceremony for the ancient Azmori people to select tribal chiefs. The initial ritual was just to put the challenger into the jungle to fight wild beasts to test the challenger's perseverance and courage. But later, the trial method continued to upgrade and gradually evolved into a huge maze that normal people could not understand."

"The Holy Sword Emperor felt that he had gone through a lot of hardships to create the Lion Empire, and his descendants would also have an epic life like him, so he dispatched a large amount of manpower and material resources to build a maze, trying to make his heir to the throne as powerful or great as him."

"It's a pity that this emperor was too anxious and ignored the fact that no one was perfect. He forgot that even he himself had been abandoned by the Holy Sword. History has proved that his method not only did not become an excellent crown prince screening mechanism, but instead became the object of fear by countless royal members."

Iggs knocked the bronze monument with a scepter, and a simple rune mark appeared on it. "Yes, although the ancient Azmori people were the ancestors of many people, their sublimation ceremony was not applicable to us. He forced this system to be like this and almost artificially created a mechanical maze."

"The construction of the maze was in the period of the founding of the empire, and the subsequent secrets were also related to the Thousand Satin Night-City Burning Incident in history. However, the facts prove that human nature itself is the most unforgivable thing. The Holy Sword Emperor wanted to use sublimation trials to stimulate the potential of the nation, so that everyone had a survival crisis and awareness, so that his heirs could lead the empire to continue to survive in desperate situations, but he did not understand the difference between 'survival' and 'life'."

Komako sighed, "If Mr. Jeffka was here, he would definitely feel very regretful for this history. We built a city-state to inherit wisdom, not to let the descendants endure endless suffering, not to let them go to the wilderness to eat raw meat and drink blood to prove their survival instincts..."

Iggs helplessly printed the rune, "Yes, many countries develop civilizations to become better, to reflect on mistakes and maintain peace. This terrifying trial of survival is no different from the brutal blood sacrifice customs of the Vaya Empire."

"There were many crazy nations in history who loved blood sacrifices, but with the development of the times, they all went to perish without exception. Not to mention Queen Vaya, even the Val tribe who once existed in the world disappeared in the long river of history. Even if the challengers eventually survive... they will hate this endless maze of pain."

Langdon helped out with the hat. "The Holy Sword Emperor is too ideal. The ideal country he described is probably never to be reached. He said on the inscription that others are selfish, but he didn't know that he allowed his descendants to bear the nightmare he created, and was always worried that he would die because of the maze - he was the most selfish person, but unfortunately he never figured it out."

Iggs translated the rune, "Oh, maybe this is called "the ancestors commit crimes and future generations suffer. The historical legacy problems have never been solved. If I could pass the trial alive, maybe I would find a way to convince the stubborn Holy Emperor."

"This is a simple mark on the bronze inscription, which means that we are in the entrance area of ​​the maze. There is no map in the maze, we can only draw it by ourselves. Only on the bronze inscription, Mr. Druid, there are monsters of the immortal tribe in the maze. I may be able to help solve the next puzzle, but I can't do anything about fighting..."

"I heard that there are demigod blood mitochondria and the like in the maze. I have never seen it with my own eyes, but there are indeed some terrible traces of violent destruction in the maze."

Chen Yaogang secretly stored the pictures taken by his naked eyes into the translation system. "Leave them to me, everyone... the exploration and investigation and combat discussion in this small room have ended. I believe that everyone comes here to trust each other and be reliable, and I won't repeat other nonsense."

"That damn rotten egg smell is getting stronger. The acid mist caused by sulfuric acid is toxic. We have to speed up our action."

Chen Yaogang pieced together the ablation maps collected by the members and quickly integrated the basic maze structure. "The first step is the simplest brute-force solution. We keep walking along one side of the maze wall, and we will always find the fork and the entrance to the next maze."

"Iggs, let's go and say, do you know what's going on with the Goddess of Justice?"

Iggs quickly caught up with Chen Yaogang, who was walking fast. "The Goddess of Justice was originally the merciful wish of the Holy Sword Emperor after being thrown into the maze... The emperor hoped that the Lion Empire would be blessed by the goddess. Since his selection had failed, he still hoped to be able to choose a brave man who truly possessed justice and wisdom before he died."

Chen Yaogang climbed over a wall and created vines to climb above. "I heard that there was a cannibal queen in the history of the Lion Empire."

Iggs's face became a little ugly, but he did not make an excuse to cover it up. "Yes, the destruction and decline of the Lion Empire is a very complicated matter. There are indeed things in history that even our own people have not figured out. Mixed race, marriage, different ethnic groups and different cultures may not be finished for days or nights."

"The abnormality of the Holy Emperor may indeed be related to that queen. The Holy Emperor's mental condition in the last year was already very bad. He shouted about some righteous companions every day, as if he had been brainwashed by some kind of force. He asked everyone to be selfless and devote their lives to the empire completely, and even stayed in the maze after death to reflect on himself. This was not in line with human nature at all... Maybe it was the source of the tragedy from the time when the maze was built."

"The Holy Emperor took his last confidant to build the statue and altar of the Goddess of Justice in the maze, so the goddess came with his prayers... The things that followed were not recorded. The overall composition of the maze did not change, but the regional structure was constantly changing, and only a few survivors recorded these things."

Chen Yaogang released the storm crow and looked down at the structure of the entire maze from a high place. "There is a magic barrier outside the maze, and the overall position of the maze cannot be judged. There is a barrier suppression over the sky over 50 yards. Be careful when using any skill, don't try to climb out of the maze directly."

"There is a trap array ahead of us. You can enter the complex by passing through it. There are dozens of sulfurite vents in the withered and dried maze garden. Go to the left and avoid it."
