Chapter 306 The Secret of Tianshu

Hupo Sub-base.

Underground prison.

This is the deepest part of the Hupo Sub-base and the area with the highest authority. It is dark and damp all year round, with moss on the walls and a smell of rust in the air.

It can be seen that there has been no maintenance here for a long time.

Many old-style light bulbs have almost reached the end of their lifespan, and various metal switches and other items are also covered with rust.

Only the cage is still brand new, without a trace of dust.

This is a special cage built specifically for Tianshu. The metal railings go deep into the ground, and the floor inside the cage is also made of special metal, which is connected to the cage.

Achieve a 360-degree blockade without dead ends.

At the same time, eighteen chains are hung from the ceiling of the cage, which are wrapped around Tianshu's neck, limbs, and other parts, restricting his freedom.

At this time, it was confirmed that Tianshu was one of the miracles found in Mu Qi's memory.

Feng Qi became more curious about him.

However, Tianshu was always unwilling to pay attention to him, and he did not get a response after asking several times.

But it can be seen that he is very interested in Mu Qing, or more precisely, in the scarlet rune crystal on Mu Qing's arm, and he also calls it the "scarlet origin".

It can be seen that he may know the detailed origin of the scarlet rune crystal.

Realizing that asking directly would not attract Tianshu's attention, Feng Qi now needs a breakthrough.

After a moment of silence, he looked up at Tianshu again:

"Tianshu, do you know Mu Qing?"

Tianshu, who had originally had an indifferent expression, changed his expression after hearing the word "Mu Qing".

"Mu... Mu Qing."

It seemed that he had not spoken for a long time, and these two words seemed to be squeezed out of Tianshu's throat, and his voice was hoarse.

"Yes, Mu Qing!" Feng Qi affirmed.

Tianshu's face was briefly dazed, as if he had opened up a dusty memory and fell into a state of absent-mindedness.

When he came back to his senses, his eyes became sharp:

"You... How do you know Mu Qing, where did this old woman die!"

Hearing Tianshu, a guy over 400 years old, call Mu Qing an old woman, Feng Qi felt ashamed.

But thinking carefully, in the memory picture he saw, Tianshu was still a little kid licking a lollipop, while Mu Yao's appearance had never changed.

It can be seen that Mu Yao must be older than Tianshu.

The specific age is a complete mystery, and it is possible that she has lived for any number of years.

Tianshu is not the only one who calls Mu Yao an old woman, Wei Wei also calls her that.

"I don't know where she went, but maybe we can exchange information... Don't worry, I'm always on the side of the human camp."

At the end, he explained again for fear that Tianshu would misunderstand.

Tianshu heard it, and purple light flashed in his eyes, and then whispered:

"Tell me first, where did you know her name from?"

Faced with the question, Feng Qi was silent.

After thinking again and again, he decided to confess his secret to Tianshu.

After all, he was used for trial and error on the sacrifice line, and Tianshu was a trustworthy human camp warrior in his eyes, so there was nothing to worry about. He

is not the protagonist of the novel, so there is no need to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.

Hiding one's own secrets is a matter of the main timeline, and has nothing to do with him on the sacrifice line.

Thinking of this, he looked at Tianshu and said:

"Tianshu, what I am going to tell you next may be difficult for you to understand, but please believe that what I say is the truth."

"Go ahead." Tianshu said coldly.

"First, let me ask you a question. Do you believe that someone can travel to the future?"

Tianshu was obviously stunned when he heard this, and it was obvious that the content was beyond his expectation.

After a short silence, a smile appeared on Tianshu's face:

"Do you want to tell me next that you have the special ability to travel to the future?"

"Yes!"

Hearing Feng Qi's affirmative answer, the smile on Tianshu's face disappeared, and he became indifferent again:

"Even an old woman can't do this, do you think you can?"

"I know you don't believe it, but what I said is the truth."

"Well, travel through time for me, let me see you disappear from my perception consciousness with my own eyes." As he said this, a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Tianshu's mouth.

Feng Qi: ...

Mu Qing: ...

Traveling through time and space is true, but how to explain it is always a headache.

Facing Mu Qing, Lin Ran and others, he can use his experience to prove it. After all, the timeline in the future is at the same historical node, and there are many examples to testify for him.

But Tianshu is completely different.

This guy has been imprisoned for more than 400 years and is completely isolated from the world.

He has no contact with the outside world, and has no intersection with him. He can't produce any evidence to prove that he has the ability to travel through the timeline.

After all, there is no such person as Tianshu in the future time points and intelligence.

He guessed that Tianshu's ending was probably imprisoned in this prison until he died of old age, and he never appeared in the future history.

It became a problem to prove it.

As for performing the future travel in person according to what Tianshu said, it is even more impossible.

He, who is on the sacrifice line, already has a set timeline and it is impossible to change it.

Facing Tianshu, who obviously doesn't believe what he said, he really feels a headache.

"Regarding this issue, you obviously can't produce any evidence to prove it, and I won't believe it at all... It's the same question. Where have you seen Mu Xu? Just now you mentioned traveling through the future. Do you want to tell me that you saw the old woman in the future?"

"Yes, I saw Mu Yu in the future. Believe it or not."

"Interesting, how long in the future will that be?" Tianshu continued to ask.

"1,500 years in the future."

Hearing this number, Tianshu couldn't help laughing.

"It seems that you just know the old woman's name from somewhere. In fact, you have never seen her, but I am curious about what you want to get from me by making up this story?"

"Who said I haven't seen her? The one I saw was holding a silver spear, wearing broken armor, and her face was still 16 or 17 years old. She has never aged. At that time, she faced the surging beast tide alone, chose to fight to the death, and finally fell with the setting sun."

Hearing this, the smile on Tianshu's face froze.

His expression became serious, and his eyes looked straight into Fengqi's eyes, as if he wanted to find a flaw in him to prove that what he said was a lie.

But Fengqi looked normal, his breath was stable, and he was not panicked at all.

After all, what he said was the truth.

The atmosphere became a little solemn for a while.

Realizing that Tianshu didn't believe what he said, Fengqi was about to continue explaining, when suddenly he realized what to say to prove it.

"By the way, I also saw you in Mu Xi's memory."

"You saw me in the old woman's memory?" Tianshu couldn't help but frown.

"To sort out what I said, I traveled to the future world 1,500 years later. At that time, human civilization had already perished... at least the human civilization in Star City had perished. I don't have the ability to explore other areas, so I don't know, but it is likely that they have already perished."

"At that time, Mu Xi was also dead. She eventually turned into a statue and stood forever in a tiankeng to the east of Star City, losing her breath of life."

"In addition to the ability to travel to the future, I also have a special ability, which I call nightmare, which can help me read other people's memory fragments and information."

"At that time, I accidentally discovered Mu Xi who died in the battle. The contact with her statue stimulated my nightmare ability. A large amount of information fragments flooded into my mind, and I learned a lot about her. I knew that she had been looking for miracles and wanted to find a glimmer of hope for the future of mankind."

"Among them, I saw you in the broken memory fragments."

After hearing this explanation, Tianshu's expression was moved. He seemed to be shaken from his initial disbelief.

"Go on, what did you see? If you can tell me something that only the old woman and I know, I will believe that what you said is true."

A smile appeared on Feng Qi's face:

"I don't know if that experience is only known to you and Mu Xi, but I will describe it in as much detail as possible."

After a long silence, he recalled the content of the fragmented memory that appeared in his mind at that time, and

then he spoke in a deep voice: "In that fragmented memory, you were sitting on a bench in the park, shaking your feet and licking a lollipop. At this time, Mu Xi appeared beside you and circled around you for several circles. After looking at you for a long time, she came to you with a face full of surprise and told you."

"Little brat, I see that you have amazing bones and are a rare martial arts genius. Tell me what your dream is?"

"At that time, you ignored Mu Xi's question and just lowered your head to chew the lollipop."

"So Mu Xi asked you again what your dream was, saying that she could meet all your requirements, but the premise is that you have to promise her that you must work hard for the rise of the human race for the rest of your life." "

This time you still ignored Mu Xi."

"So Mu Yu finally put one hand on his waist and pointed at your head to indicate that if you don't say anything, I

will take it as your consent." "After that, the memory picture I read was cut off, and I don't know about your subsequent story."

After listening to Feng Qi's story, Tianshu's face showed an expression of incredible surprise.

He was deeply impressed by this memory.

Even after more than 400 years, he still remembered it clearly.

It was the encounter with Mu Yu that changed the rest of his life.

He was once an orphan, and his parents were originally combatants in the military of the Seven Cities.

At that time, the domain monsters were rampant, and the human cultivation system was in its infancy, and the cultivation method had just been born.

The location of the Seven Cities did not build the current Victory City, but an urban cluster with many cities, and the Seven Cities was just one of them.

At that time, the means for humans to fight against the invasion of domain monsters were relatively primitive, and every time they encountered a domain invasion, they would pay a heavy price. His parents also died in the fight against domain monsters.

He was only five years old at that time. He was an orphan

without a father or a mother, and because of his parents' contributions, he was arranged to live in an orphanage in the Seven Cities.

It was during that period that he met Mu Qi, who changed his life.

At this time, Feng Qi accurately described the scene at that time, and he had to believe that what Feng Qi said might be true.

Only Mu Qi and he knew about this matter, and he had never told anyone else.

Thinking of this, Tianshu looked at Feng Qi with a serious expression and said:

"I believe you for now, now tell me what is the purpose of coming to me."

Hearing this, Feng Qi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Facing the enemy, he can choose to be ruthless and even force him to surrender by force, but he obviously can't do this when facing Tianshu.

If Tianshu is stubborn and always unwilling to believe what he said.

The situation will be deadlocked.

"Tianshu, my first question is, why do you choose to imprison yourself in this underground cage?"

At this time, Tianshu let down some of his guard. Facing this question, a struggle appeared in his eyes:

"I had no choice."

"To be specific, I don't want the answer, but the process and details. Any information you provide me may help me find a ray of hope for human civilization."

"What do you mean?"

"As I just said, I can travel to the future, so I can know which events or historical nodes in history have affected the decline of human civilization through the future. As long as I change these historical nodes, I can save the future of human civilization, so I urgently need to know more information."

"I understand."

Tianshu had a complicated expression after hearing this, with excitement and some disbelief.

After waiting for a long time, he continued to speak:

"I chose to imprison myself because the power I obtained is very uncontrollable, and I often enter a crazy state of losing my mind. In this state, I will attack everything nearby indiscriminately, which is a great danger to humans. If you don't control me while I am still awake, human armed forces will not be enough to restrict me when I lose control."

Hearing this, Feng Qi immediately thought of Mu Qing.

The same situation also happened to Mu Qing.

But the difference is that Mu Qing's emotional out-of-control is relatively controllable, and she will consciously restrain herself, especially when there are other humans around her, she will obviously restrain her out-of-control state.

From a historical perspective, Mu Qing's state did not always exist.

It will gradually disappear with her fusion with the scarlet rune crystal, and eventually disappear.

This point was also mentioned in the diary left by Mu Qing.

From this point of view, it is obvious that Tianshu's situation is more dangerous, and it is understandable that he chose to imprison himself.

At that time, human cultivation was still in the early stages of development. Facing a strong man like Tianshu, it was obviously not able to fight. If he really lost control, it would definitely be a disaster.

All of this is considered from the perspective of human development.

But he still had many doubts in his heart. Thinking of this, he continued to ask:

"Why did you lose control? Is it because there is a problem with the power given to you by Mu Qing?"

"It has nothing to do with the old woman. Everything is the bitter fruit of my own reckless attempts. The old woman gave me a long life and divine patterns. These powers are completely within my control."

"What is a divine pattern?"

Faced with the question, Tianshu slowly turned around and revealed his back.

There was a golden pattern in the center of his back that meandered upward and reached his neck.

This pattern was very magical. It seemed to have life and twisted and changed with Tianshu's breathing, sometimes like a beast and sometimes like a bird.

Turning around again, Tianshu said in a deep voice:

"This is the divine pattern, which can make me practice any technique at a speed dozens of times faster than ordinary people, and can also help me simulate the innate power of any creature in any field."

"For example, as long as I have tasted the blood of the blood soul tiger, my divine pattern will automatically analyze the secrets, allowing my body to undergo partial changes and gain the power and ability characteristics of the blood soul tiger!"

As he spoke, Tianshu slowly raised his right arm.

His right arm was growing hair rapidly, his nails became sharp, and finally turned into a huge tiger paw.

"The divine pattern can make me adapt to fighting in any harsh conditions, without environmental disadvantages. As long as I continue to adapt to the power of other species, I can master a lot of practical abilities."

"So strong!" Feng Qi couldn't help but exclaim.

Compared with his ability to directly plunder talents in the main timeline, Tianshu's ability is still a long way behind.

But from the perspective of ordinary practitioners, such an ability can be called heaven-defying.

"Since there is nothing wrong with the ability given to you by Mu Xi, why did you go crazy and lose control? What exactly is the random attempt you mentioned?"

Faced with the question, Tianshu's face showed a look of reminiscence.

After a brief recollection, he slowly spoke:

"My divine rune ability is not without limits. The old woman has repeatedly reminded me of this, but in order to pursue stronger power, I want to merge a drop of the blood of the Pillar God to steal the power of the divine realm."

"It was this attempt that made me completely obsessed with the devil."

"Tell me in detail, and be as specific as possible."

Tianshu nodded immediately, and then recounted his experience:

"I have been following the old woman since I was a child. She also watched me grow up. I learned a lot of knowledge during the days I followed her." "

She is a very contagious person. On the surface, she always looks heartless and carefree, but in her heart, she is firm and unshakable even if the mountains collapse and the seas crack."

"She taught me courage, sacrifice, and calmness in the face of despair. She is my life mentor. During that time, the old woman took me all over the world, and from time to time she would abandon me in a city to let me fend for myself for a while, and then disappear."

"This time may be a few days or a few months. The longest time was 2 years. That time I almost thought that I was forgotten by the old woman."

"The second turning point in my destiny was when I was 16 years old."

"At that time, the old woman told me that I already had the ability to stand on my own, and she was going to take me to a brand new place, but she also said that if I went there, I might never come back."

"At that time, I was very confused and asked her if I would never see her again."

"She just smiled and told me that maybe there would be a chance to meet again, but it might be impossible to see each other again."

"I asked her, is that place important? Do I have to go?"

"She told me that it is the first line of defense for mankind, and it is vital to the entire human civilization. I already have the strength to protect it, and it is time to take responsibility."

"But the old woman didn't force me, but just said that even if I didn't want to, she would leave and couldn't keep me with her."

"At that time, I struggled for a long time, but I understood that the old woman obviously had more important things to do. She seemed to be planning the future of mankind. Even if I could follow her, it would only be a burden, so I finally agreed to the old woman's decision and went to the mysterious first line of defense."

"By the way, do you know the Tongtian Road?" Tianshu suddenly asked.

When Tianshu talked about the human defense line, the first thing that came to his mind was the Tongtian Road.

When Tianshu said the words "Tongtian Road", he knew his guess was correct, and immediately asked,

"The first line of defense for mankind you mentioned is Tongtian Road?"

"That's where I come from!" Tianshu nodded without hesitation.
