Chapter 311: Sumerian Era Spirit

This was Medusa's forbidden death spell from back then, the Rose Lycoris for summoning the souls of the departed. She had once summoned a remnant soul of Gilgamesh, and now Xu Zhi naturally mastered this sorcery.

"Gilgamesh."

Xu Zhi spoke.

A terrifying sight unfolded. A handsome figure materialized from thin air, as if returning from the vast and mighty river of ancient time. His clothes were stained with blood, his face resolute, holding a holy sword, he leaped up and powerfully swung it!

He was roaring and howling an unnamed sound!

What was this historical phantom from ancient times saying? No one knew.

"The history of humanity's struggle against nature is a history of courage and hymns!"

Yet, countless people found this thought appearing in their minds, and they believed it firmly.

It was terrifying; that indomitable, peak aura was deeply etched into everyone's heart.

If humanity was weak, then Gilgamesh, in the challenging nascent era of humanity, stood before all mortals, writing hymns for history, embodying humanity's courage to fight against nature, resonating with countless people.

That single sword swing unleashed the spirit of an ancient civilization!

"Boom!" It was as if heaven and earth were astonished by it.

"This aura? How is this possible!" Yu Ke's face instantly turned ashen. His body erupted in brilliant orange flames as he exerted all his strength to resist.

But the surging sword force was like a mighty, rushing river, seemingly containing the entire spirit of an era, the collective will of the Sumerian civilization, sweeping out like an invisible sword beam.

Boom!! Many of the bar's glasses and cups shattered, as if a typhoon had swept through, leaving the entire place in utter disarray.

The immense power caused the entire scene to explode instantly. After the sorcery, this most ancient Hero King gradually faded away, but his image was eternally imprinted in everyone's eyes.

He was the most astonishing monarch and emperor throughout history, overwhelmingly powerful, with an unyielding obsession, possessing a terrifying spirit unmatched by others!

Indeed, in their dazed state, it was as if they had witnessed that ancient, vast, and prosperous lost civilization.

"This is a forbidden sorcery, Gilgamesh... the Realm of the Dead of Medusa, the Origin Demon God!" Blood seeped from Yu Ke's lips. Transparent wounds appeared all over his body, caused by the sharp aura, and his mind was filled with disbelief.

Who exactly was he, to possess the sorcery of Medusa, the Origin Demon God?

"He wasn't telling a story; he was talking about history!"

This thought crossed his mind, and his gaze towards Xu Zhi became filled with reverence. He stood rooted to the spot, seemingly awaiting judgment.

Over the years, ancient monarchs and emperors had awakened from history, and many impostors had emerged, causing widespread unrest. He had dealt with many such fakes. Previously, he had gone to investigate a saintess who was spreading her teachings everywhere, and it turned out she was genuine. Could this Messiah Monarch Emperor also be...

Xu Zhi paid him no mind. As before, he continued his role as a bard in the bar, downing a glass of strong liquor. With the alcohol warming his insides, he looked at the surrounding patrons and calmly continued to narrate ancient tales.

"This ancient emperor was the most extraordinarily talented, astonishing past and present. In that most primitive era, without any cultivation system, he could still reach such a level alone. If he were alive today, his life's achievements would be second to none! Indeed, he would surely hold a place among the present gods, elevated above the world!"

Silence fell around them.

The hymn of humanity was the hymn of history.

Their minds were utterly shaken, like small boats tossed in a great storm.

Xu Zhi continued to speak softly, his deep eyes reflecting a sense of nostalgia as he recalled those past times. "Back then, when the Age of Sorcerers still existed, Medusa, who was not yet the current Origin Demon God, but the monarch and emperor of the Death Rose Dynasty, deeply admired this powerful figure.

She condensed the remnant soul of this Hero King, imprinting it between heaven and earth. By using his concentrated essence—the spirit of an entire civilization—she transformed it into a supreme mental forbidden sorcery: Gilgamesh. This was her strongest trump card at the time, and with it, she battled the later sorcerer monarch emperor, Grantham the Alchemy Emperor."

The Alchemy Emperor?

The expressions of those around him became completely unsettled.

This bard, who called himself Messiah, had revealed another terrifying historical truth, leaving them incredulous.

Was this the origin of the forbidden sorcery "Rose Lycoris: Gilgamesh"? Such a terrifying spell. Was it truly developed by Medusa, the current Origin Demon God?!

History was vast and distant.

Yet, it felt as though they were connecting with primordial history. That sensation made them feel the unique charm of time. Witnessing figures from mythical heroism firsthand, a profound sense of history washed over them, something ordinary people could not imagine.

"But how could she have lost? History records that Medusa, the Death Monarch Emperor of that era, was defeated by Grantham the Alchemy Emperor, thus ushering in the Age of Alchemy. But having witnessed such a powerful sorcery firsthand, I find it impossible to believe she could have lost!"

"Yes! I also think it's impossible! This forbidden sorcery, Gilgamesh, could not possibly lose! It's absolutely inconceivable!"

"Even as a remnant soul that had lost its self-awareness, this Hero King still embodied the spirit of the Sumerian civilization—that boundless courage, roars, and hymns of an entire people fighting against nature. How could he have been defeated?"

"As for the Alchemy Emperor, perhaps he was terrifying, but historical records are scarce. Who exactly was he...?"

The people around them were at a loss for words. Wave after wave of historical truths crashed upon them. That splendid ancient history simply ignited an irresistible curiosity; those were the years of a bygone civilization.

Everyone's eyes burned with intensity.

Even Yu Ke, standing nearby, wore a horrified expression. As he replayed the invincible hero's figure in his mind, a deep shadow of defeat was etched into his heart. That unconquerable aura might affect him for the rest of his life, becoming an obstacle to his own progress... Yet, precisely because of this, his desire to know more intensified.

Xu Zhi spoke again, "The forbidden sorcery, Gilgamesh, the Alchemy Emperor... that is a later part of history, which will be discussed another time. For now, let's continue to recount the final glory of the Sumerian civilization."

He'll tell us later?

Countless people could only suppress the fervent desire in their hearts, feeling a sense of unreality.

Xu Zhi continued, "At that time, after Gilgamesh was defeated, he asked the Creator God three questions. His first question was..."

When the three questions were finished, all the guests in the bar were stunned; the silence was so profound that a pin drop could be heard.

"God created our world in just seven days!"

Yu Ke's heart was overwhelmed by waves of shock, one after another.

He had already disbelieved the earlier "Gilgamesh defying the heavens" narrative! He had stepped out directly to refute it, thinking it was a sham. Who knew that the true ancient phantom of Gilgamesh would appear, revealing astonishing secrets: the forbidden spell developed by Medusa, the Origin Demon God, and the hidden truth about the Alchemy Emperor, all violently assailing his mind!

And now, those three questions, along with the impending Great Flood, completely shattered his understanding.

Who exactly was he? That he was the Messiah Monarch Emperor was undeniable, but who was Messiah, the most mysterious monarch emperor from a thousand years ago??

He was not one to lack decorum. He took several steps back and bowed deeply. "Yu Ke, the Rock-Fire Man, tutor at the Royal Academy of the Fedich Human Kingdom, greets Messiah, the last sorcerer monarch emperor of the Babylonian mythological era, and the first monarch emperor of the Potion Era!"

"It's nothing," Xu Zhi said in a calm voice, and continued his narration.
