Chapter 106: Chessboard Remains on the Seabed

"I can't hide it from Vimiya." Loran Hill nodded helplessly.

"Although you are one of the Four Originals and are confident in controlling its influence, others are not. They will panic or think you are doing evil." Vimiya slowly spoke about the technology that was banned because of Dorothy's death.

"I know, so I won't rush into it. Let's slowly popularize some related technologies first. This is indeed a somewhat dangerous behavior." Loran Hill used his fingers to draw small stars on the slightly cold glass.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Katie and I will support you." Vimiya hugged Loran Hill from behind.

"If all hope is lost, we can still leave this system aboard the starship Homecoming and continue to seek solutions. Well, humans are such a resilient existence."

"Hmm..." Loran Hill looked at the still dark world outside the window, agreed softly, and then slowly closed his eyes.

The next day, the ship continued its journey.

On the third day, we arrived near the target point and began searching.

On the fourth day, no target was found on the sea surface, so we prepared to dive to the bottom of the sea.

On the fifth day, the underwater exploration began.

On the sixth day, nothing was found.

On the seventh day, some traces were found, but they were not what we were looking for. These were relics from the twilight era.

On the eighth day, they began to break up the rocks on the seabed and stir up the silt.

Day nine, continue to go deeper.

On the tenth day, we explored an unknown corner and began to dive in.

Under the dark and gloomy water, Vimiya and Loranhill held hands and shuttled through the water. They were tied with long ropes that connected to the invisible ship above their heads.

"This is it." Vimiya stopped swimming and looked at the still pitch-black area in front of her.

Then, light blue balls of light emerged in the water, illuminating the scenery on the seabed. A black crack appeared in the ground full of coral rocks and gray-black silt.

"Although it was well designed when it was built, it cannot withstand the changes of nature." Vimiya said as she pulled Loran Hill into the gap.

As the two men dived, their figures were like invisible dust falling into the huge gap at the entrance of the abyss, and then down.

The rope fluttered after a while because it was not long enough.

After a while, a brilliant light bloomed from the ground and then dissipated.

The ground in front of the two people, which was originally dark and empty, suddenly opened up, revealing the huge and empty space inside.

This place is like a cave, with huge stone pillars supporting the ground everywhere. They resist the water pressure from outside and prevent the cave roof from collapsing. As far as the eye can see, there are endless low square stone pillars below that stretch to the point where there is no end in sight.

These stone pillars resembled movable type printing blocks, closely spaced yet separated by small gaps. Their color was dark gray, like granite, while their interiors were marked with distinct black veins. However, these veins were not like the random patterns formed naturally; instead, they were highly regular, with squares, tilts, and verticals forming symbols. Some even had small designs and symbols on them, like some kind of hieroglyphics.

These stone pillars are like a chessboard, distributed throughout the underground. They are extremely quiet, without any extraordinary power or any magical fluctuations. They are like stubborn stones on the roadside, lifeless.

But when these densely packed square stone pillars stretching for hundreds of miles are spread all over the seabed, it gives people a great sense of shock and grandeur, as if this place is not empty, but the corpse of a dead civilization, and the symbols on it record its life and everything.

Loran Hill stretched out his hand and spread his fingers through the bubbles. Some spots of light began to emerge on the seabed, and then slowly illuminated this quiet and desolate place.

"Let's go down and take a look." Loran Hill and Vimiya approached the nearest square stone pillar. When they landed on it, they found that the stone pillar was nearly twenty meters wide and had thick patterns on it.

"This should be some kind of writing, but I don't recognize it." Loran Hill shook his head. Logically, there should be relevant records in the system of the Sun of Divine Wings. Could it be that Xing Tian and Lelila created it after leaving the earth?

The two of them began to search one by one, slowly flying and swimming in this underground time.

"Loran, look at that." Among the many stone pillars, there is a more special one. It is dark red in color, which is different from the surrounding gray-white and black-striped stone pillars.

Like other stone pillars, this one also has other people's patterns all over its body.

"This... should be the puzzle-solving slate."

When the two looked closely at the stone pillar, they saw patterns marked before some of the words, which roughly explained the meaning of these basic characters. For example, there were three dots before the word "three" and two dots before the word "two".

Such a neat table makes it easy to guess the meaning of the symbols below.

Continuing to look downward, emblems of the sun and moon began to appear on the stone pillar. There was also a simple map of the Ivar galaxy, pointing the sun to another symbol on the stone pillar. There were also animal symbols and some simple chemical molecule diagrams.

Although the written languages ​​of the universe are different, the chemical molecules are consistent and can convey accurate information. In this way, even aliens who do not understand the Earth's language can slowly understand the meaning of the symbols and then gradually decipher the information left in the entire underground ruins.

After sorting out the hundreds of symbols in their minds, Loran Hill and Vimiya slowly floated up again, looking at the endless sea of ​​stone pillars in front of them.

"Such an interpretation cannot be completed in a short time." Loran Hill's voice sounded a little regretful.
