Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 622 - 546: The Origin of the World’s Shattering_2

"Why would it make my brother so reckless, so disregarding of life and family, to want to destroy him?"

At this point, Heideline waved her arm again, and the scene in the air changed once more.

"The exploration and search of information over the past hundred years have proven my brother was right. Although the world is broken, only this continent has survived, some records have not vanished with the break."

"This world once had day and night, had the sun and the moon."

At this moment, the scene transformed into an ancient page, showing nighttime and daytime, along with the sun and moon.

Heideline could only express with such imagery because she had never truly seen it; she could only replicate the textual records she found.

Seeing such a scene, Kane waved his hand, altering the conference room's setup.

The dark clouds in the starry sky began to emerge, the stars remained bright but occasionally flickered, and a full moon appeared on the ceiling.

"This is the night, and that is the moon."

The full moon also started showing different changes over each period as Kane altered it. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Heideline watched the night sky above with eyes shimmering like a child's stars.

To someone who had never seen the night, such a scene was truly beautiful and magical.

This view even made Heideline's blood begin to boil and her heart beat rapidly.

Her desire from her bloodline made Heideline want to truly own the night sky, to stand beneath a real night sky.

"This is the day and the sun."

She spoke, once again changing the ceiling's setup, with golden, warm sunlight pouring down and a dazzling golden fireball hanging on the horizon.

"It seems so much like the Golden Bridge's light," Heideline couldn't help but say.

Upon hearing Heideline's words, Kane replied blandly, "Because the Golden Bridge is absorbing the sunlight and energy, the sun is blocked by it."

"Is it really like that?" Heideline knowingly nodded.

Then she said to Kane, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for showing me such scenery."

"No need for thanks, it is something you should naturally possess."

Afterward, Heideline continued conveying to Kane using her fantasy.

At this time, the illusion was a scene of war and devastation, with various tragic sights appearing, and various alien races being cruelly slaughtered.

Even many humans were not spared, though their attire was somewhat different.

All the human perpetrators wore clothing that bore the emblem of the Golden Bridge, akin to the nuns' attire, belonging to the same series and style.

One could even see the Golden Bridge weakening the enemies by bathing the entire world in its light.

Among these, Kane saw the Giant Wood Forest for the first time, and its scenery matched perfectly with his imagined past scenery of the Giant Wood Forest.

"All races unwilling to submit to the Golden Bridge were killed, even those who submitted but were not human faced the same bullying. Other human forces were similar."

"But this alone wasn't enough to make my brother do such a thing, there must be a deeper cause. I was trying to think about when my brother started to change, and later I found it."

"At that time, my brother was the best among all the siblings, and father wanted him to be the successor, though I believe father might not die just because of the passage of time."

"And my brother's change happened precisely when he first held the Platinum Scepter."

"Holding the Platinum Scepter, he learned something."

Regarding this question, Kane might know and thought for a moment before saying, "Perhaps he realized through the scepter's authority, the anomalies in the Golden Bridge's actions. The Golden Bridge actually harms not only those alien races and humans unwilling to submit to it, but even civilians of the Platinum Country who submit to it are slowly being consumed, the world's rules themselves are being quietly altered by the Golden Bridge."

Before the world broke apart, the Golden Bridge was already changing the rules, secretly transforming the core of this world's soul.

As long as one holds a fragment with authority, one can sense some of the world's rules through the authority on the fragment.

With a little attention, one can feel the changes in world rules.

Kreya held the authority of death and learned some of the Golden Bridge's actions.

The Platinum Scepter has partial control over the world, and its scepter has five parts, making it easier to perceive the Golden Bridge's activities.

Perhaps it was these actions that caused the collapse of Heideline's brother's faith, revealing the true nature of the Golden Bridge he once believed in.

Upon hearing Kane's words, Heideline suddenly understood, "Is that how it is?"

Then she began to truly answer Kane's previous question.

"After the kings took power, they did not only erase my brother's information, they also deliberately or inadvertently weakened the influence of the Golden Bridge Church, even uniting to weaken the church's power.

About sixty years after the world broke, the Golden Bridge Church, which existed for thousands of years, completely vanished from this continent, and they haven't been seen since."

"Then they also destroyed all information concerning the Golden Bridge, and with the passage of time, no one believes in the Golden Bridge anymore. It's as if the Golden Bridge is just a part of nature, always hung in the sky, without anyone finding it unusual."

It seems the kings weren't entirely harmful, they were also quite aware of the Golden Bridge and its church's maliciousness, since they held the authority back then.

Though it is unknown why their nature changed so later, they did do some good things before.

Which means that the Golden Bridge now doesn't hold as high a status among the lives in the Dungeon as Kane imagined.

At least, it isn't worshiped as a deity, making Kane's subsequent actions not as difficult.

Kane looked at Heideline and said, "Our goal this time is truly to destroy the Golden Bridge, it is a beacon passed by a supreme being, aiming to consume this world and drain its energy completely."

"So now, I hope you can relay our news of destroying the four kings to Prince Qing, letting her escape or hide away. During this time, we need to look for ways to harm the Golden Bridge."

Heideline naturally understood Kane's thoughts and actions, nodded and said, "No problem, I'll do that right away."

And then continued.

"I may know some possible ways to harm the Golden Bridge."

"Really?"

Kane was a bit surprised.
