#595 - Two civilizations discovered in one day!!

The blazing flames gradually died down, and the small room fell into darkness again.

The murmurous whispers also dissipated from my mind.

But Lu Yuan was not calm. His heart was beating so wildly that it seemed like it was going to jump out of his throat.

He racked his brains and thought: "At the end of the era, this thing may be common and countless? Is it a parasite? A virus? A biohazard? Or something else? What will happen after people eat it?"

"Can I gain greater power? Eternal life?"

Obviously, this is exactly the information that the Golden Bronze Civilization wants to convey.

Gradually, questions came to my mind.

"When the era was destroyed, a certain existence forcibly destroyed all information..."

"This force is likely a collection of ghosts, and may even include other anomalies. They are extremely powerful and would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go...so a lot of the information is incomplete."

After careful analysis, Lu Yuan vaguely felt that [ghosts] and forbidden creatures were not from the same faction.

Maybe both sides are enemies?

But why would the ghost do this?

Wouldn't it be nice to leave some hints for future generations?

"Well, [ghosts] don't have intelligence. Perhaps some experiences in the First Era made them all choose this approach."

Lu Yuan tapped his feverish forehead.

"Wait, is this piece of flesh and blood really a forbidden item? Does a Level 4 civilization really have this ability? Even in the North, it should be difficult for the Gold and Bronze Civilization to do this..."

The old alien in the snakeman palace is kept in better conditions than those in the north.

Due to the interference of [monsters] and snake-men [ghosts], as well as the divine skills and innate race, they were able to retain a small part of their memories.

Does a level 4 civilization really have the ability to preserve a complete piece of flesh and blood?

Lu Yuan expressed his doubts.

"Perhaps, the Gold and Bronze Civilization used some method to steal a tiny bit of the ingredients and forged a similar piece of flesh and blood, just to tell later generations some special information."

"But they didn't dare to tell it too deeply..."

“Or perhaps, their own cognition is also ambiguous.”

"In short, the meaning of this information is: at the end of the era, this enemy is ubiquitous. Many forbidden lives will appear, and many species will be attracted to devour them, and then a series of mutations will occur, further triggering a war between civilizations."

After this analysis, Lu Yuan vaguely realized a lot.

"If this enemy is so widespread, why aren't they here now? Are they from outer space?"

He jumped out of the alien space, turned on the flashlight, and illuminated the room again.

He opened the storage space and threw the coffin in with a whoosh.

Sure enough, since there was no living creature inside, the coffin was easily placed into the storage space.

But after thinking about it for a while, Lu Yuan threw it out again.

Even if this strange flesh and blood turned into ashes, he was unwilling to carry it with him.

"This is really weird. We have come all the way here to guess the mystery. Let's ask the old alien." Lu Yuan focused his attention and entered a meditative state.

His human body had a mysterious connection with the Greedy Demon, and soon, he projected his consciousness into the Fairy Palace.

"Senior, save me! Something big has happened!"

“Save me!”

Soon, the old aliens arrived at the scene, cursing as usual.

Don’t come over here every now and then, kid. We are more afraid of us than you!

"What's the matter? Long story short." These guys looked unhappy.

"I have dug up the remains of the Eighth Era, which may contain forbidden information... but the information is not complete, so please help me, seniors."

These strangers were stunned, looking like frightened birds: "No, please don't say anything! Please!"

Lu Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to them and told them everything he saw.

The six aliens and Prince Jinbot were all silent.

After a long while, the leading large crystal man said: "Fortunately, this is only the remains of a fourth-level civilization, and the information observed is limited. Otherwise, you would be in big trouble."

"I can only say that this is part of the disaster of the era, but not all of it."

"Could that piece of meat be just scabies?" Lu Yuan widened his eyes.

"It can't be said to be a minor problem, but it is an important factor... The epoch disaster was caused by multiple factors, various natural disasters and man-made disasters, and everything went wrong." The large crystal man said, "Even the overall cognitive level of Pangu Continent was an important destruction."

"What we know is also incomplete. As time goes by, the answers to many questions have changed."

"The more you know, the easier it is for trouble to come to you. So you'd better keep your cognition within a boundary."

"If you are the only one in the world who knows, and no one else knows... guess what will happen?"

"What?"

"You are the pillar of support and bear the disaster of the era."

Lu Yuan shuddered.

But these two sentences alone contain some information.

Lu Yuan cleared his throat: "Then let me ask a question: Is it a good thing or a bad thing for [Ghost] to eliminate all the taboos in the world?"

The strangers were silent for a long time, unwilling to answer.

Finally, the big crystal man sighed and said, "It may not be a bad thing."

The answer is subtle.

The existence of ghosts destroys a large amount of information, but it is not necessarily a bad thing?

Lu Yuan frowned and thought hard.

Considering the demon in the snake man’s palace who wanted to take over the ghost’s body, his nature was not necessarily bad.

When we think about the powerful civilizations of the Eighth Era, which joined forces to seal many ghosts into the "Boundless", it shows that ghosts are not the kind of guardians of absolute justice.

"That is to say, there are at least three forces: intelligent species, ghosts, and those forbidden monsters. Among them, the intelligent species are a mixed bag, and each has its own ideas."

Lu Yuan sighed deeply. After so many years in Pangu Continent, there were too many historical problems left, which were as difficult to unravel as a tangled ball of wool.

So what is the answer?

He now had a general idea.

"[Ghosts] or the Four Calamities could be strong contenders for some evil entity."

"The harmfulness of that thing is so terrible that even the [ghosts] have become scabies. Its act of eliminating taboos has become a good thing."

If you think about it carefully, it is true. Although the fighting ability of [ghosts] is strong, it is still very difficult to exterminate Pangu Continent. After all, there are also brilliant people in intelligent civilizations, and there are countless various escape technologies and attack technologies.

Just as the Eighth Era was not considered a prosperous era, didn’t it also create something called “Boundlessness”?

So what could wipe out the world?

Lu Yuan's mind opened up and he began to think deeply.

"The first is a visitor from outer space."

"In addition to Pangu Continent, there may be other idealistic worlds, which also have idealistic energies such as spiritual rhyme and civilization points."

"These alien visitors will come into direct competition with Pangaea."

"In the world wars of the past few eras, all civilizations were defeated by aliens, and life was almost completely slaughtered."

Although this conjecture may sound like "deus ex machina", it is indeed possible.

"Over time, Pangu Continent became a leek farm. In the early days of the era, the civilization was weak and those powerful beings looked down on it."

"Once a civilization matures, aliens will come and reap it. Tumors and strange spores are all spread by aliens."

"But the [ghosts] are an exception. These crazy guys are almost impossible to be harvested. There is no need for the aliens to fight to the death with these things...so after harvesting a wave, they will leave."

After thinking about it for a long time, I always feel that there are many clues that have not been used.

If it was really a visitor from outer space, why would the [ghost] destroy the taboo?

"Could it be that the more 'forbidden information' that life recognizes, the easier it is for aliens to come here and start a world-destroying annihilation?"

"The second possibility is that the old monsters from the First Era are causing trouble, just like launching the Dark Turmoil, and are constantly reaping the harvest."

"How much luck will the destruction of an entire era bring with it, the disturbance in space and time caused? It's an astronomical figure."

The character of the alien was replaced by an old monster, which made the explanation more rounded and smooth, and many details could be filled in.

But to be honest, if the old monsters can destroy all races, even the top civilizations will have to abandon everything and run away. How powerful would they have to be?

Even an optimist like Lu Yuan couldn't help but despair. He felt that his efforts were in vain and that being able to escape in the end would be considered a success.

If they exist, where are they usually?

Hiding in some alien space?

Lu Yuan thought of another point: "The world will of Pangu Continent should be extremely disgusted with them. These beings that can destroy the world are definitely the mortal enemies of the world will."

"So they fled into the void, and will not invade again until the time is right..."

"Even worse, these old monsters might support agents, just like the old aliens support agents."

"The Gold and Bronze Civilization believes that this enemy is of a universal nature and is not necessarily too powerful. Perhaps they are just encountering a group of proxy civilizations."

"The combat effectiveness of these proxy civilizations is naturally uneven..."

"In other words, aliens may actually be dangerous? It's just that we are lucky, and the ones we met are all relatively normal ones."

In fact, humans do not encounter as many aliens as they imagine.

The ratmen and the aliens of the gold and bronze civilization are all from the Eighth Era.

The old alien in the Serpent Man Palace was not from the First Era either.

There are only three groups of aliens in total, which is indeed not a lot.

"This conjecture is more reasonable. Inhumans are not completely trustworthy."

Lu Yuan temporarily decided on the second possibility.

Even a wrong guess is better than no guess at all.

When he came to his senses, he found that the old aliens had all left. It was obvious that they didn't want to discuss too much with him.

Lu Yuan laughed at himself: "Forget it, there's no need to dwell on it too much. We humans can't be the most powerful civilization. There must be an interstellar civilization in Pangu Continent. If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up!"

…

…

His consciousness left Asgard and returned to his human body.

I opened my eyes and it was still that dark little room.

There is only a crystal coffin inside.

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and threw the coffin into the storage space.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

He took great pains and took out various tools to dismantle the "legendary" door.

This door is very thick, 22 centimeters, and weighs nearly 12 tons. It is difficult to break through from the outside, but it is much easier to dismantle it from the inside.

It took Lu Yuan about two hours to put the door weighing several tons into the storage space.

"It's considered a little interest!" He raised his eyebrows. The value of this door is 1,400 spiritual charms!

Then he took down the warning sign hanging on the door.

"It's a small empty room. Although it's a little strange, humans and dwarves basically have no way to find out what's inside."

He checked this small ruins several times and found no secret passages or secret rooms, so he slowly retreated.

What greeted us was the cold wind and liquid nitrogen raindrops, but compared with the lonely and silent remains of civilization, everything seemed full of vitality.

"How was the harvest?" The conch girl was waiting for him by the window with a bright smile.

"In that secret room, I found some answers." Lu Yuan didn't tell me too much, "I was almost attacked by a ghost, haha."

The conch was naturally very sensible. It didn't ask any random questions, but just stared at him.

After all, she didn't want Lu Yuan to do anything too dangerous.

Lu Yuan changed the subject: "Humanity still needs to follow the established goals, keep its feet on the ground, and develop step by step."

"Oh, by the way, I also moved a legendary door, which is quite impressive. I plan to modify it a little and install it on my [Temple of Greed]. Now everything is ready, and the only thing missing is the east wind."

“When will it officially open?”

"It should be pretty quick! The ability 'Craftsman's Talent' is my most proficient ability. I have basically found the imprint of its rules and I am confident that I can completely replicate it."

Lu Yuan felt a sense of urgency: "Just because of the existence of 'field industrialization', craftsmen are more popular than before, and they should be able to sell well."

"Besides that, I have to copy a few more divine skills to improve my appearance."

"I plan to prioritize copying the abilities [Super Thinking], [Translation Ability], [Animal Affinity], and [Plant Affinity]. They are not too expensive. Copying one costs 1-2 points of luck, and selling it for 5-10 points of luck. A 500% profit is not too much, right?"

Production-related capabilities are always in short supply.

The effects of animal affinity and plant affinity can be superimposed on the field to achieve the effect of "1+1\u003e2".

With the development of the green grass trading market, some auxiliary capabilities and scientific research capabilities have also become popular.

Considering the purchasing power of each civilization, it can't be too expensive. 5-10 points of luck should be the highest price that most civilizations can accept. (Much more expensive than the market price)

"In addition, I can also sell minerals and convert private property into 'transportation'. The price can be slightly lower, as long as it can be converted into transportation."

As for Lingyun, Lu Yuan kept 50,000, which was basically enough.

However, the accumulation of "luck" is really too slow, so Lu Yuan came up with an idea in this regard.

There are so many minerals in the North Limit that it is easy to dig up 100,000 spiritual rhymes. The crystals on the giant crystal turtle can also be used for trading.

Even if it is converted at a ratio of 50:1, it can still be sold for two to three thousand, which is a pretty good number.

"And there are [Temple], I can also sell it. One [Temple] can be sold for two or three hundred civilization points, shouldn't it be a problem?" Lu Yuan gritted his teeth.

The strategic value of the Temple lies in its ability to transmit data over long distances. It is an invaluable treasure for any civilization that needs it.

Human 18 civilizations will definitely buy [Temple]!

There are also dwarf civilizations and long-haired civilizations, which may also have needs.

Therefore, Lu Yuan urgently needs to improve the Immortal Palace and find a way to conceal the operation of the [Temple].

…

…

Just as they were thinking about this, there was a soft "splash" sound, and the giant crystal turtle came back from the deep sea. After seeing the two of them, it shouted "Wow haha" excitedly.

It spat out some strange sea creatures from its mouth, baring its teeth and showing its courtesy.

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and took a few glances. These deep-sea species might have grown with the help of geothermal energy on the seabed, and their strange shapes made them look strange.

Things like flat-headed fish, long centipede-like creatures, and tumorous shapes.

Life can always grow and adapt to the harshest environment.

But he doesn't eat these deep-sea fish.

Because he had just seen the flesh and blood left over from the disaster of that era, Lu Yuan always felt that they looked a bit similar, and he got goose bumps in his heart.

"Very good! You are willing to offer the most precious food here to your master, which shows that you are a loyal turtle."

Lu Yuan was very satisfied with its self-awareness and patted the giant crystal turtle on the head: "Eat all this food."

The giant crystal turtle was not polite either, eating one bite at a time and enjoying it very much.

"Your mistress and I will have to stay here for a while to copy some useful scientific and technological information back."

"So you are free to move around during this time and look for some minerals."

"Don't eat minerals anymore. I will give you extraordinary consumables."

The giant crystal turtle's intelligence is not high, but it can sense the joy of its owner, and it roars, looking like a fierce and aggressive person.

"What does it say?"

"It may be saying that there are great treasures in the deep sea...but it can't be taken down, so it invites you to go with it." Miss Conch frowned her beautiful eyebrows, as if she was not very sure.

"Really?"

"That's probably what it means."

Lu Yuan looked at her and said, "I'll go down with the turtle. You stay in the space capsule and contact me telepathically. If you have anything, call me directly. I can teleport back."

"Don't worry, you can come back soon, and I have the old wolf to protect me!"

"Awoo!" The old wolf licked his nose guiltily. In such an environment, he didn't dare to come out of the space capsule and froze to death in less than a minute.

The Greedy Demon followed the giant crystal turtle into the water with a "splash" and couldn't help but sigh "It's so cold".

The water temperature on the ocean surface reached minus 230 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, most human instruments cannot work properly.

What’s even more terrifying is that there are huge turbulence hidden in the ocean.

Those deep-sea whirlpools, one after another, rotate at an extremely fast speed like black holes.

The 10-meter-tall little giant grabbed the giant crystal turtle. The combined weight of the two behemoths was not light, but they were still pushed around by the turbulence and moved very hard.

Swimming all the way to the bottom of the sea, a faint blue light bloomed from the giant crystal turtle's body, enveloping the "Greedy Demon".

"Swoosh!" It used the earth escape technique and took Lu Yuan into the ocean continental shelf.

It felt magical, as if they had turned into air and were moving quickly through the depths of the earth.

"Earth Escape" is indeed a first-class life-saving ability, and the movement speed is also extremely fast. Lu Yuan estimated that he can move 300 kilometers in an hour.

After traveling for more than two hours, Miss Snakey's telepathy was suddenly disconnected.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but frown. This was the influence of powerful supernatural interference.

The giant crystal turtle stopped, and emerged from the continental shelf again, looking up and yelling “Wow wow wow!”

Unexpectedly, there is air here, as if there is another world!

Lu Yuan's eyes widened and goose bumps appeared all over his body.

"Oh my god, this is astonishing... astonishing wealth!!"

He saw a gigantic... building that looked like a dragon palace, about one kilometer wide and four hundred meters high, incredibly huge!

The outer walls of the palace were made of crystal clear crystals and corals, and the surface was covered with a layer of faint fluorescence. Water vapor gently passed by, bringing up strings of tiny bubbles that floated around the palace like pearls.

The entire building is wrapped in a hemispherical bubble with air inside.

What's more, Lu Yuan strongly suspected that the layer of bubbles was actually an alien space.

This palace cannot be seen from the outside. The only way to break in is by escaping through the earth.

The specifications are truly astonishingly high. The roof of the palace is paved with tens of thousands of glazed tiles, and each tile is carved with exquisite waves and carvings.

Lu Yuan estimated that these glazed tiles (rare grade) alone were worth five thousand spiritual rhymes!

At each of the four corners of the roof stood a tall tower, with four gilded flying birds on the top of the tower, their eye sockets inlaid with legendary spirit crystals, emitting dazzling light.

Yes, the legendary spirit crystal has actually become a decoration!

Thinking of this, even Lu Yuan's hair stood up and he simply couldn't believe it.

I quickly used the Pioneer's Eye to conduct some reconnaissance.

[Failed... This idea is completely wrong...]

【how so……】

[Even if it is just to protect the northern border, it is extremely difficult. 】

[However, it is difficult to turn a large ship around, and a wrong decision requires a greater price to make up for it...]

An old voice, transcending the layers of historical mist, echoed in Lu Yuan's ears.

Regret and anger intertwined, and eventually turned into a deep helplessness.

[From now on, the entire northern border will be desolate...]
