"Heartbeat!"
Among the crowd, someone pointed frightfully at the black coffin atop the tower, screaming, "It's the heartbeat! The person inside... is resurrected!"
No sooner said than everyone panicked.
Thousands of tombs outside have 'Tomb of the Dragon Chant' inscribed on them, ostensibly to lure people to dig them up, only to be struck and killed by lightning, turned into Essence Blood, which is then absorbed by the person within the coffin atop the tower. The most direct effect had now emerged.
He has come back to life!
No, more accurately, he has awakened!
The man in the coffin must have used some secret technique, built this towered sacrificial altar to protect his body, and entered a state of pseudodeath, waiting indefinitely.
He spent a great deal of effort constructing thousands of burial chambers, setting traps in them, and connecting everything here with the towered sacrificial altar.
