#596 - The Amazing Wealth of the Fourth Age!
Chapter 581: The Fourth Era’s…Amazing Wealth!
That old voice, like the sound of a bell, keeps echoing.
Even the giant crystal turtle heard the echo of history. It cowered, then clapped its paws heavily, as if seeking credit: Isn't this place nice?
Lu Yuan's eyes widened, his heart beating wildly, and he quickly took out a ball of purple sticky substance from the storage space and stuffed it into the giant crystal turtle's mouth.
A foul smell came to the giant crystal turtle's mind. Just as he was about to roar, he soon experienced the wonderfulness of it and closed his eyes to enjoy it.
Lu Yuan had a hunch that the ruins before him might be the most powerful civilization ruins he had ever encountered!
It was comparable to the adventure when he found the "Chaos Essence Stone" in the volcano!
No, in terms of wealth, it is even better.
He racked his brains and thought: "Although the North is a little cold, life is not rare."
"But at that time, because of a plan, it became desolate... Is it because of the passage of time that life reappeared?"
The old voice said sadly: [But no matter what, this idea about [Monsters] is meaningful... One more natural disaster in the world... will bring changes to future generations.]
[This wealth cannot be easily obtained by the enemy... We will hide it and wait for the right person...]
[Only a powerful civilization can find this place! ]
Lu Yuan took a deep breath and looked into the distance again.
[It is said that in the distant past, a powerful civilization intended to use the spatial ability of [monsters] to protect the entire Pangu Continent and save the entire world from the epochal disaster.]
[But for some reason, the plan failed, and the myth of the [Monster] also died. ]
[Strangely, no one has ever been able to find its body. Even the Gear Civilization, which spent an epoch, still couldn't find it.]
[I wonder who is so lucky to find such a rich treasure. ]
[Monster] myth? !
What level of inheritance is this? !
His pupils dilated. Even though the Greedy Demon had no heart, his blood pressure soared at that moment and his whole body felt hot.
Lu Yuan looked at the giant crystal turtle in disbelief: "How did you find this place?"
The giant crystal turtle was enjoying the purple sticky substance. It stretched out its claws proudly and slapped Lu Yuan.
The man and the turtle stared at each other for a while. Lu Yuan was now at a height of ten meters, and it was quite painful when he was hit by the turtle.
But now, he really couldn't bear to criticize this rude guy.
"Forget it. Maybe the giant turtle is one that survived the 'Age of Monsters'. It's not surprising that it found this mysterious palace after witnessing the fall of the [Monster] myth."
"I'll go in and take a look, you wait here!" Lu Yuan once again carried out a large bucket, which was full of purple things.
"Roar!" The giant crystal turtle dug the ground with its hard claws and burrowed into the soil again to enjoy the delicious food.
…
Lu Yuan approached the mysterious palace with great interest. He walked very carefully, fearing that there might be any trap.
After a while, I felt a mysterious resistance, like a wall of air.
The further he went, the greater the resistance he encountered.
Until the very end, there was an invisible wall of glass blocking the way. Even with the power of the greedy demon, he could not move forward even a bit.
"This seems to be a space-level resistance... No wonder the Crystal Giant Turtle can't enter."
"Is there a ghost or something like that imprisoned in there?"
But if you think about it carefully, this palace is a legacy left by our ancestors, so there shouldn't be any targeted traps.
"The current space barrier is probably just a test."
"Space technology can only be possessed by a Level 5 civilization. If you are not a Level 5 civilization, are you not worthy of this legacy?"
Of course, this little difficulty is not a problem for Lu Yuan at all.
He looked in the direction of the palace, his mind moved, and with a "whoosh", he used his ability to teleport to the vicinity of the palace and stepped onto the slightly dull white jade floor tiles.
The ancient city walls are magnificent and splendid. The long river of time is ancient and vicissitudes.
The mottled marks reflect the secrets of history.
The brilliance of the spirit crystal shines upon the earth.
This place was once a prosperous center and the cradle of civilization. Although it is now quiet, it still exudes immortal charm.
Lu Yuan looked at the entire palace and was fascinated by its grandeur and ancient charm.
After a long time, he came back to his senses, sighed deeply, and carefully observed the carvings on the wall.
The Age of Monsters is theoretically the Fourth Age.
The materialistic path only appeared in the Fifth Era.
The construction principles of such an ancient creation are fundamentally different from modern theories.
He actually couldn't understand it!
Super ancient architecture relies more on the "momentum" of extraordinary materials.
There are some more vivid descriptions of the concept of "momentum", such as feng shui, eight characters, destiny and other metaphysics.
They would choose to use a large amount of luxurious and extraordinary materials to further deepen the "momentum" - of course, there were indeed enough resources to do so in that era.
In modern times, due to the scarcity of extraordinary materials, craftsmen no longer consider metaphysics, but often focus on meticulous craftsmanship, evolving many forging techniques.
From this perspective, Pangaea was actually becoming increasingly barren.
Even though new minerals are born in every era, it is normal that the land becomes increasingly barren after generations of plundering.
Of course, the craftsmanship and skills are indeed constantly improving.
Therefore, Lu Yuan believed that the phenomenon of "the present is not as good as the past" did not exist. He even felt that the palace was too extravagantly built, and if modern technology was used, a similar one could be built at only one percent of the price.
"Let's go in and take a look..."
He gently pushed open the door of the palace, and a breath of ancient and wild air blew towards him.
An extremely huge corpse!
At this moment, it seemed to be resurrected, and its cold gaze was cast on Lu Yuan.
And Lu Yuan's eyes were also fixed on it.
The myth of [monster]!
It looks quite ugly, like a crooked octopus, with hundreds of soft tentacles occupying 80% of the palace space. It is really huge, and may weigh tens of millions of tons!
The tentacles were covered with eyeballs of all sizes. The small ones were as big as ping-pong balls, while the larger ones were as big as millstones.
There is also an extremely large eyeball in the middle, with a diameter of 150 meters, which cannot fit in a football field.
Lu Yuan felt his scalp tingling when he was stared at like this.
"It's true that descendants resemble their ancestors. The [Monster·Spirit Eyes] I killed before looked similar to it, except that its lower body was in the shape of a snail."
“Now this one has turned into a giant octopus.”
Unfortunately, no matter how glorious the myth of [Monster] was, it is now dead.
Because it had been dead for so long, its entire body had shriveled up like a sponge. Lu Yuan pulled out a vine and touched it slightly, causing a large dent in the skin. Countless eyeballs of varying sizes also appeared sunken, no longer as lively as before.
Only the biggest eye was shining brightly, as if it were alive.
I don't know how it was preserved.
"How did it die? Strange things are best at escaping. How did the Myth of Strange die?"
Lu Yuan observed for a long time but did not find any scars.
"hurricane!"
A breeze surrounded the body of the Greedy Demon and flew him near the big eyeball.
Frowning, he took a closer look and discovered a completely transparent veil-like object covering the cornea of the huge eyeball.
Because it is so transparent, it is impossible to detect it without close observation!
[Time Relics: A vision called the Weaver, who will weave a unique product called the 'Yarn of Time' through a lifetime. ]
[The Veil of Time is an extremely rare, extraordinary item that can absorb the properties of time. It is usually used to preserve items.]
[Put it in a unique geographical location to absorb the aurora from outer space for a long time, and a more precious relic of time will be born. (Immortal-level natural wonder +++)]
[This item is extremely rare. Perhaps only a few have been produced in the nine eras of Pangu Continent.]
【ability:???】
When Lu Yuan saw this line of introduction, his heart started beating wildly.
"Fuck!"
Immortal-level natural wonder +++, this is definitely the highest level of natural materials!
Mythology requires completely new rules, and the Time Relic obviously does not conform to them. No matter how it evolves, it can only be immortal.
But the time attribute is really extremely rare.
Lu Yuan has been in Pangu Continent for so many years, and has only seen three things with time attributes: the Weaver's slime, the time ability of the [Magic], and the item he encountered now.
"No wonder there are no ores with the attribute of time in the outside world... It turns out that all the aurora was sucked away by this 'Relic of Time'."
He didn't dare to touch it randomly and controlled the "Hurricane" to land back on the ground.
After wandering around the palace for a while, I found a map of the North in the corridor behind the Myth of Strangeness.
The Northern Territory in the Fourth Age was much smaller than that in the Ninth Age, probably only half the size, and its geographical features were completely different.
The former high mountains have now been razed to the ground.
The original basin has now become an ocean.
"That is, in the following five eras, the North continued to expand... expanding to an area several times the size of the Earth."
"This is……"
The civilization that created the [monster] installed 8 pillar-like devices in the north. These pillars soared into the clouds and were 10,000 meters high. In addition, there were 128 smaller pillars.
Its obelisk-shaped spires emit rays of light that are connected to each other, forming a huge spatial network.
They have great ambitions and intend to break away from the North and leave Pangu Continent.
However, as time passed, this plan seemed to have been completely forgotten. The eight pillars and 128 small pillars that had been built with great effort no longer existed... At least Lu Yuan had never heard of such things in the North. He just quietly memorized these geographical locations and prepared to pick up trash in the future.
“Why did it fail?”
"It's really like what the old alien said. Every civilization has its own plan, which leads to the final mess..."
"No one can tell which plan is good and which plan is bad."
After wandering around for a long time, there was no other information, so I could only return to the vicinity of the monster's corpse.
He gritted his teeth and tried to touch the "Remains of Time".
The time attribute is very dangerous. Perhaps in the next second, his own time will be lengthened.
One second for him is equivalent to a hundred years in the outside world, which is equivalent to him being trapped here.
Or perhaps, his own time will be shortened, and in one second in the outside world, his life will be exhausted and he will die completely.
Therefore, Lu Yuan was very careful and used the [Steel] ability in his body to protect his soul.
Unexpectedly, “The Remains of Time” is pretty tame.
He easily removed this transparent veil, revealing the huge eyeball of the monster myth below.
The eyeball moved.
Lu Yuan was shocked and stepped back quickly.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
A mysterious thought was transmitted to the depths of his mind.
The scene in front of me began to change!
This is a mark of history, or it may have been left intentionally by the civilization that created the myth of the "monster".
Suspended cities kept crashing from the sky.
The earth trembled and red liquid flowed out.
This scene is completely different from the Era of Demons. The intelligent creatures in the Era of Demons are standing on flying swords, with celestial air floating in the air, as if they are cultivating immortality.
The intelligent life forms of the [Monster] Era, holding long staffs, waved out one strange ball of light after another.
Lu Yuan widened his eyes. Even though the image was not clear, he still recognized this ability - [Spiritual Words]!
In other words, the Age of Monsters may be the era when the power of spiritual language is most prosperous.
However, everything is useless in the face of disaster, screaming, wailing, crying...
Under the disaster of the era, everything began to be destroyed.
"It's still too slow." The heavy voice said sadly, "We once wanted to unite more civilizations to resist disasters together, and we also wanted to create more visions... It's too slow. Everything is too late."
"Pangu Continent is beyond saving. Let's return to our original homeland, the North!"
"Let's take the North and get the hell out of this world!"
"No, we can't take the North with us! The North is the limit of the North, how can we take it away?" Another voice retorted, "Once it is lost, the world will of Pangu Continent will be completely paralyzed... There will be no hope here. Future generations will also lose hope and it will become a completely abandoned place."
Pangu Continent possesses the world's will, which is equivalent to the existence of the way of heaven.
It instinctively resists anything that threatens its own existence.
The four directions of east, south, west and north are important components of idealism.
The east represents the wood element, symbolizing growth and prosperity, and is associated with spring and vitality; the south represents the fire element, symbolizing passion and light, and is associated with summer and warmth.
The west represents gold, symbolizing harvest and solidity, and is associated with autumn and maturity; the north represents water, symbolizing wisdom and fluidity, and is associated with winter and cold.
As for the huge center, it represents the earth element and the virtue of carrying the world.
If the North is taken away, it is equivalent to a corner of the world's will being missing. Even in the next era, without the protection of the world's will, it may fall soon.
The old voice was silent for a moment, then said coldly: "Activate [Noah's Ark]! There is no time to worry about future generations. Take the North away. Life in the North still has a chance to survive! Otherwise, there will be nothing left!"
"Jump!!" The fierce roar echoed in Lu Yuan's ears, making his hair stand on end.
Mythical equipment——[Noah's Ark].
Made from the strong World Tree.
The wood texture glows with a faint golden luster under the scarlet sunlight, containing the brilliance of divinity.
The ship is huge and heavy, 3,000 kilometers long, 500 kilometers wide and 33 kilometers high. It stands firmly above the sea of clouds like a moving plateau.
[Noah's Ark] and the former [Heavenly Myth] have the same purpose.
This giant ark can be instantly transferred to any corner of Pangu Continent!
Unlike the [Heavenly Mythology], [Noah's Ark] does not have a [temple], so it can only teleport itself and cannot save all the living beings in Pangu Continent.
However, in addition to space jumps, this Ark also has the ability to carry life. It has combat power in itself, and its protective performance is absolutely first-class.
From this perspective, the grandeur of [Noah's Ark] is indeed not as impressive as the awe-inspiring [Heavenly Myth].
But Lu Yuan couldn't judge anything.
"If humans can build a Noah's Ark, or even one-tenth of Noah's Ark, I will be satisfied."
The Era of Demons was a complete collapse of the heavens and the earth. No matter how powerful one was, it was still shattered. No one survived, and no one even knew the name of the original Lord of Heaven.
It is already a remarkable thing that in the Age of Strangeness, a Noah's Ark could be created.
Maybe these guys really managed to escape and opened up this escape route.
A strange halo opened up in front of Noah's Ark, as if it was an invisible net woven by time and space, leading to the depths of the sea of stars.
After the huge ark passed through the halo, it arrived in the north in a second. Under the scarlet sunlight, shadows spread across the earth.
Lu Yuan discovered that the northern border in the [Strange] Era was not as cold as it is now, and there was no liquid nitrogen lake at all.
Although there are some icy and snowy areas, most areas are still capable of allowing intelligent life to thrive.
The earth was shaking, and countless meteors were falling from the sky. In fact, Lu Yuan had witnessed similar scenes many times before, but as more and more information came in, these meteors gave him a different feeling. They were simply countless monsters and some creepy energy fluctuations.
"Is it really an alien that destroyed the world?" Lu Yuan thought to himself.
Eight grand obelisks rose from the ground, emitting a brilliance comparable to that of the sun.
The earth was shaking more violently, and the entire northern border was breaking away from Pangu Continent!
"Hurry! Those things are catching up! Move faster!"
"The power has reached its limit. It's too late... We can only abandon the North!"
"If we have to give up even our hometown, then what are we?"
"Escape! In our Fourth Era, every race is thinking about escaping! Even at the last moment, we are still thinking about escaping. We are such damn cowards!"
These voices sounded very panicked.
They were cursing loudly, getting angry, and some were expressing their objections.
As the civilization that created [Noah's Ark], they actually have combat capabilities. A 3,000-kilometer spacecraft is simply a star destroyer level.
But the roots of the Fourth Age were distorted, and the cultural atmosphere was not right.
The disastrous defeat of the Third Age broke the backbone of the Fourth Age. From the very beginning, civilizations willing to participate in the battle were quite rare, and every powerful civilization was researching mass escape technology.
When the pillars of the era are unwilling to stand up, the spread of disaster is bound to be extremely rapid.
Lu Yuan's eyes widened, his heart pounding, "Ah, their choice is normal."
Suddenly, he heard an extremely intense howl.
"Report!! The Myth of the Monster is dead!!"
The sound was so abrupt that it drowned out all other sounds.
This civilization is so powerful that it possesses two top myths, [Noah's Ark] and [Myth of the Strange].
Maybe there is a third or fourth myth that is less important.
Finally, at the last moment, one of them died suddenly!!
What level of safety incident is this?
Even Lu Yuan, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but feel terrified and felt like his blood pressure was about to explode.
The following images and sounds began to become hazy and blurred.
(*Fierce quarrel)
(*The sound of physical collision, as if a fight had taken place.)
This large group of intelligent creatures studied the cause of death of the [Monster] Myth at the fastest speed, and then seemed to have found a conclusion and fell silent.
"Terminate all plans!"
The light of the huge obelisk gradually faded away.
The smaller towers began to collapse, no longer as sacred as they once were.
Lu Yuan didn’t understand what was going on. He only knew that the Northern Territory’s divestiture plan…had completely failed.
At this moment, the north has become extremely cold, and heavy snow keeps falling from the sky.
In the north, where the sun doesn't shine directly, oxygen and nitrogen are condensing.
Large numbers of plants died completely, and the small civilizations living in the north were frozen into ice sculptures in despair.
In just a few hours, the North became a desolate and cold world.
Next, [Noah's Ark] chose a location in an extremely cold area and landed in this mysterious palace. This unknown civilization was really wealthy.
A palace of this level was obviously not built on the spot, it was not just taken out as it was said.
Lu Yuan widened his eyes and saw a small dot of light in the blurry picture - the crystal turtle.
The little turtle was tilting its head back, staring in amazement at the giant spaceship in the sky.
It is truly the only surviving vision of the Fourth Age, and the only witness to it.
Finally, the picture fell into darkness.
Only that old and pervasive voice echoed in the sky above this palace: [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...]
[From now on, the North will be desolate. ]
…
