When Jiang Lai passed through the thick stone door, his eyes were immediately attracted by a coffin in the center. The coffin was about two meters long and about one meter wide. I don’t know what material it was made of, and it felt very thick and strong.

However, what puzzled Jiang Lai was that since there was a taboo power hidden here, why was a coffin placed here?

As his thoughts turned, his eyes turned and swept around. Suddenly, his face changed, and the shock was unpredictable in his black eyes like Mo Che. Around the coffin, there were dozens of corpses. Because of the age, they had turned into white bones, everywhere, making people's scalp numb. Although Jiang Lai had experienced many bloody scenes, the scene in front of him still made him feel uncomfortable.

"These are my tribe members."

When Jiang Lai heard Chen Yifei's voice coming, he couldn't help but nodded. He had guessed that these corpses must have been the ones who came to find the power of taboos, but ended up suffering misfortune. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

However, he did not forget his purpose. After a moment of silence, he turned to look at Chen Yifei and asked, "Mr. Chen, why is there a coffin placed here? Is it the forbidden power here?"

Chen Yifei's mouth raised slightly, revealing a self-deprecating smile, "Everyone knows the power of taboo, but no one knows what the power of taboo is. They only use legends to believe that the power of taboo can make people control everything in the world, but they don't know that the existence of the power of taboo is actually destruction." Speaking of this, he paused slightly, "Jiang Lai, do you know why the power of taboo is sealed here?"

Jiang Lai shook his head.

"If the power of taboo is really as powerful as you think, then why did the people in those days not use the power of taboo to change the world, but seal it here instead? Have you ever thought about the reason?"

As soon as these words were said, Jiang Lai was stunned. Indeed, this was a very simple truth, but he had never thought about it before.

"Mr. Chen, do you know the reason for this?"

"I didn't understand before, thinking that the forbidden power represents everything. It was not until that disaster happened that I realized how innocent our thoughts were." Chen Yifei said slowly, "The forbidden power does not represent a force, but a person."

"One person?" Jiang Lai was surprised and looked at the coffin in disbelief, "What do you mean is there a person lying here?"

"Not bad! When we opened the coffin, we were also shocked by the situation inside. However, what's even more terrifying is that the person... seems to be alive." Chen Yifei looked solemn. When he mentioned his experiences back then, a trace of undetectable pain flashed in his eyes, as if he was remembering the dead people of the tribe. "When we tried to contact that person, a change occurred and everyone fainted. When I woke up, I found that everyone was dead and turned into a special form of spiritual body, and I was the only one living."

Jiang Lai digested the other party's words, then pointed to the coffin with his finger, "Then this person..."

"He is still inside." When talking about the mysterious man in the coffin, Chen Yifei's expression became a little strange. "Over the years, in addition to preventing anyone from finding taboo power, I have spent more time looking for clues. Obviously, the coffin and the person inside existed before our tribe. It can be seen that our tribe is not the first life form born in this world. Life has been born before us. However, after all these years, the clues I can collect are very limited. There are almost no records about the history we had before, or it was artificially destroyed."

Hearing this, Jiang Lai felt aroused and asked, "Mr. Chen, will this thing have anything to do with the mysterious old man you are looking for?"

"It seems you thought of it too." Chen Yifei nodded, "You guessed it is true that there is a relationship between them. According to my investigation, the person in this coffin and the mysterious old man should be from the same period. However, the information left by the mysterious old man was very limited, and he only mentioned the terrible power of the taboo, but there was no other record. Not only that, a lot of the contents of the information he left behind were erased. I think the other party deliberately did not want the secret of the taboo power to be leaked, and there is a great possibility that the person in this coffin was sealed here."

Jiang Lai thought about it and said, "You have been investigating for so many years, and you should have gained something, such as the identity of this person?"

"There are gains, but they are not detailed. The things I know are very messy. According to my guess, this man seems to be a sinner, but it is unknown why he was convicted. However, from his current fate, it can be judged that the power he possesses is likely to be related to this matter."

After a pause, Chen Yifei said again, "When my tribesmen opened the coffin, a disaster was triggered. You must have known this. However, there is something you definitely don't know. When that terrifying force swept across the earth, my tribesmen were all devoured flesh and blood. Moreover, that force seemed to be consciously devouring them."

"Are conscious?" Jiang Lai murmured to himself.

"Over the years, I have been observing his changes. When he swallowed the flesh and blood of his tribesmen, I felt that his vitality seemed to have become stronger, so I was thinking that he might have fallen into a deep sleep for some reason and could not wake up completely. He could only recover by absorbing other people's essence and blood. Because of this, I have been avoiding others from approaching him and do not want people to release him, just because I am afraid that he will wake up. Otherwise, a disaster will come to the whole world again."

After listening to Chen Yifei's story, Jiang Lai suddenly fell into deep thought. The situation seemed to be even more complicated than he imagined. His initial purpose was very simple, which was to gain Chen Yifei's trust and get in touch with the power of taboo. However, it was not until now that he realized that the power of taboo was actually a person, and a living person, which was incredible.

Although Jiang Lai didn't believe Chen Yifei's words, he at least believed it because all of this was in front of him. If it was really as the other party said, it would be better not to touch the forbidden power.

What a pity!

He shook his head secretly, thinking that he could see the ultimate power, but who knew that it would be like this. After so much energy, he worked in vain in the end. Thinking of this, he was a little indifferent and didn't want to stay for a moment.
