Chapter 342 [Chaos Essence Stone·Yang Attribute]
At this moment, Lu Yuan felt very complicated.
Finding the super treasure of the gear civilization made him extremely excited and his whole body was hot.
But the departure of the Mirage Dragon made him feel sad again.
"Forget it. Everyone has their own ambitions. You can't force them."
Soon, Lu Yuan calmed down and began to explore the empty building.
This building is really big, even bigger than the dragon's nest outside. Various gear-shaped structures form complex large-scale machines.
There are also some design drawings of gear patterns on the ground, including some carved structures.
They were not particularly complex carvings. Lu Yuan could understand a lot of the knowledge, but when combined together they were extremely abstract.
This is like the transistor in the semiconductor industry. Even undergraduates can easily understand the working principle of the transistor, but if you want to design circuits and complete chips, the profound knowledge involved is truly amazing. It is hard to imagine that this is something that intelligent life can make.
"Gear civilization is indeed more advanced than green civilization."
"They have miniaturized and microscopicized the glyph system."
It was really amazing! Lu Yuan walked and stopped for more than half an hour, taking pictures of all the complex patterns on the ground with his camera along the way.
Although the carvings in the photos will lose their charm after taking the photos, it’s good to be able to record some of them.
And in the very center of the building, exactly as the Gear Civilization had said, there was a [Chaos Essence Stone] and a jade pendant-like product.
There is a little blue fluorescence in the jade pendant.
[Spiritual Jade: Usually used to record sensitive and dangerous information. After reading, the Spiritual Jade will automatically break into pieces and the information can no longer be read. (Excellent Grade·Man-Made Wonder)]
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Even the jade pendant that stored the information was of excellent grade. It was truly luxurious.
With the eternal fire, a slight touch.
Suddenly, a ray of light flooded into his mind.
A loud and old voice rang out: [The Great Gear Book is the creation of the Gear Civilization over 20,000 years. I hope that future generations will carry it forward and be brave enough to explore new things. There is no need to stick to the old ways and be complacent.]
A question related to glyphs appeared in my mind, which roughly means: how to link the two different glyph combinations of "heat increase" and "firmness".
It's quite difficult.
Lu Yuan estimated that at least a craftsman who could forge "excellent-level" equipment would be able to unlock it, and that the equipment must be related to the "supernatural fire."
"What do you mean... In order to obtain an inheritance, do I have to do the questions?"
But for Lu Yuan, who had been immersed in it for a long time, it took about ten minutes to complete.
Soon, the light changed.
The old voice said calmly: [The assessment has been passed! ]
[Those who learn to inherit the gears are vulnerable to attacks from [Ghost·Demon Machine]. Do not abuse it before you can deal with ghost-level anomalies. ]
[As the inheritors of gears, if you meet fellow disciples, it is also fate. It is also a wonderful thing for the auxiliary vehicles to rely on each other and live in harmony. ]
[If they kill each other, they will be outnumbered and will inevitably be defeated one by one. ]
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows. What is [Ghost·Demon Machine]? He seriously suspected that the gear civilization inheritance was just to relieve himself of some pressure. And what about "fellow disciples"? They should be the civilizations that have received the same inheritance, right?
But there was no need to hesitate. As too much debt is better than too much burden, Lu Yuan immediately chose to accept it.
An abstract gear structure pattern was engraved in Lu Yuan's mind, titled "The Great Gear Encyclopedia" - well, it was really abstract, like a blueprint of a semiconductor chip. It was sent to his mind, making him dizzy and almost vomiting.
It takes a lot of hard work to learn the glyphs. There is no shortcut and it will take a while to understand them.
Lu Yuan blinked his eyes and found that the pattern was lifelike. There was also a countdown below it. This pattern would probably last for 2000 years in his mind and he could check it at any time. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't know how long it will take me to understand this "Gear Collection". It should be a top-level inheritance, right?"
“When will human civilization be able to pretend to be cool and leave a little legacy for future generations?”
"So, is the gear civilization really dead?" Lu Yuan was a little skeptical.
After Lu Yuan accepted the inheritance, the "Spiritual Jade Pendant" shattered all of a sudden, leaving only a small piece the size of a thumb with a gear pattern drawn on it, and its grade was also downgraded to inferior grade.
Lu Yuan guessed that this might be a "token" of gear inheritance, so he quickly put it away.
Then, he looked at the [Chaos Essence Stone] again and rubbed his hands excitedly.
The inheritance just now might be just the small part. There might be many copies of Pangu Continent, and this one is the big part! This stone is about five meters in diameter and is red all over.
It's like a meteorite that has been burned in the atmosphere, with a total mass of about 1,000 tons! It's quite big.
The main purpose of the Gear Civilization in building the White Jade Palace is to nurture the [Chaos Essence Stone]. The "Gear Great Collection" is just a by-product.
A steady stream of energy was drawn from the surrounding magma and continuously transported to the [Chaos Essence Stone]. The entire process lasted for who knows how many years...
Lu Yuan observed for a while.
[Chaos Essence Stone·Yang Attribute]
[An extremely rare chaotic object that comes from outside the starry sky. It is said to be able to give birth to all things in the world.]
[Only at the moment when the idealistic universe was first created, a small amount of Chaos Essence Stone was born.]
[It can be transformed into different idealistic products according to different environments. The more energy it absorbs, the higher the final product will be.]
[This Chaos Essence Stone has currently absorbed a huge amount of Yang attribute energy. The moment it leaves the earth vein, it will be transformed into a spiritual ore related to Yang attribute, flame attribute, fire attribute, earth attribute, etc. (Rare level, natural wonder.)]
"Rare level? What the hell!" Lu Yuan was stunned.
He was so anxious that his hair almost stood on end.
It took me a long time to realize that "rare grade" refers to the outermost layer of rock, and the grade of the core of this stone is still unknown.
"According to the Gear Civilization, it may be Immortal Level!"
"Good stuff that can evolve... I really picked up a big bargain." Lu Yuan rubbed his hands, feeling a kind of pleasure of gambling on stones.
He really wanted to know how much immortal stone there was inside. Was it the size of a peanut or a water tank? Or was it several tons? His requirements were not high. Just a hundred kilograms, enough to forge a weapon.
"Boom!" Suddenly, the ground shook, countless bubbles emerged from deep underground, and the flow of magma from the outside world accelerated rapidly. Even the white jade palace located deep in the ground was pushed and rolled in the magma! Such a huge building made a terrible "squeaking" sound, and the speed of the gears kept increasing, making Lu Yuan's eyes widen and his heart tremble.
He immediately realized that the "melting pot of the world" volcano was about to erupt!
After the Chaos Essence Stone was pulled out of the earth vein, it burst into a bright light. Seeing that it was about to shatter and transform into a high-level ore... Lu Yuan shouted, opened the storage space at an extremely fast speed, and put the Chaos Essence Stone directly into it! He had only one thought in his mind: "If it is nurtured for a while, will it become a mythical level?!"
Okay, this is hard...
But when have I, the Greedy Demon, ever been afraid of difficulties?! ...
…
At this moment, the Mirage Dragon finally jumped out of the magma and floated into the sky again.
Just this kind of exercise had already made it breathless and exhausted. Looking at the hellish state on earth, a trace of sadness appeared in its eyes.
With my current physical condition, how can I seal the volcano again?
However, it still has to fight! This is its mission and its determination!!
The end of the world has arrived. Dark clouds are gathering, the earth is shaking, and red magma is rolling out from thousands of cracks, like blood flowing out after the earth is injured.
A faint blue light shone on the magma, and the magma immediately cooled down and turned into rock and soil.
But more magma gushed out from all directions.
The Mirage Dragon saw the "Sky Fortress" in the distance. Hundreds of kilometers away, it seemed to hear the shouts and reluctant farewells of the crowd...
After more than a year of living together, it has actually become accustomed to the company of its human friends.
It likes the girls' clear voices and the strange purple food.
Sometimes, when it sees humans sympathizing with it, it would want to howl proudly, saying, "Who am I? Do I still need your care?"
Sometimes, it would look at those human children with a hint of sadness in its eyes.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
There is no way. In this life, it is only loyal to the Source Fire Civilization.
"roar!!"
The Mirage Dragon roared loudly, and the seal on the earth flashed again, trying to freeze the earth - this was its last battle! ...
The people on the "Sky Fortress" saw the helpless dragon fighting bravely with gloomy expressions, and some of the more fragile ones were already crying.
In the face of such an epoch-making disaster, the power of a single individual is really too small.
The seal on the entire city collapsed within half an hour, and the ground shook more and more violently.
One volcano after another rose from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, they became a surging volcano group! The entire ocean boiled at this moment, just like boiling water.
The Mirage Dragon is fighting back.
"Roar!" Its roar became louder and louder.
But even if there were a hundred dragons, they would not be able to suppress this violent natural disaster.
"Hurry! Fly higher!!" Jin Dongliang kept urging the "Sky Fortress".
"Bab!" The Sky Fortress also sensed the crisis and soared madly to a height of 50,000 meters.
In the next moment, the active volcano in the center finally erupted, and an extremely strong "boom" sound was heard across the entire sea level, as if countless artillery shells exploded at the same time!
At this moment, the spewing magma alone soared to a height of tens of thousands of meters, and the violent shock waves rushed to the surroundings like a hypersonic bomb!
The huge noise vibrated in my ears, and the whole world seemed to be silent.
Even the sky fortress was impacted by the loud noise and fell straight down!
Thousands of people fell to the ground in the cabin, their heads broken and bleeding.
"Crawl on the ground and hold on to your companions' hands!"
"Yi!!" The conch's eyes burst into blue light, and it uttered spiritual words. A transparent bubble protective light curtain appeared on the skin surface of the Sky Fortress, and large groups of shock waves hit the protective shield.
The Sky Fortress took the opportunity to stabilize itself and stopped descending.
After people sat down, they couldn't help but become more worried. Even the sky fortress hundreds of kilometers away was affected by this violent impact. What about the Mirage Dragon in the center?
Captain Lu Ying, who had the best eyesight, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance for a while, then sighed, "I can't see its figure anymore. Please accept my condolences..."
Before he finished speaking, a long dragon roar reached people's eardrums.
A stubborn voice rolled out from the fiery red magma.
The spirits from nature leaped high, giving people a sense of inexplicable hope - let's go! Go quickly! Leave now, there is still a glimmer of hope! But soon, the white figure sank into the magma again.
There were large sighs from the crowd.
Then, it leaped high again, still sealing the volcano that stretched for hundreds of kilometers and was still spreading.
It fell again.
This was repeated three times in a row, and the crowd fell silent.
The Mirage Dragon's vitality was completely exhausted, and its roar was no longer violent, but instead had a hint of gentleness.
“Woo——”
"It told us to leave quickly because the real explosion hasn't started yet." Conch's eyes were red, and she even temporarily forgot that Lao Lu was still rolling in the magma. She was extremely sad at the moment.
All the people around were also sad.
"Yes, this volcano is part of the catastrophe of the last epoch. It won't end so easily."
Jin Dongliang, Lu Ying and others also clenched their fists, looking at the scene that was like purgatory on earth. The originally light blue ocean turned into a fiery red hell, and the amount of magma was even more than that of sea water.
“Woo——”
"It said, let's not be sad for it...it has always been regretless."
"It said that it was grateful for your care and that if there is an afterlife, it is willing to protect humans."
After this cry, the figure of the Mirage Dragon never rose from the red magma again.
Never again...disappear.
Thousands of people in the sky fortress and hundreds of thousands of people in the sky city looked on quietly, their eyes were so gloomy, only the increasingly violent volcano sang a elegy.
"Woo——" This was its last sound.
Please don't shed tears for me.
I am a vision, I will not sleep.
I am a warm cloud floating in the sky,
It is the soft bath curtain blooming in the autumn, the coral jungle blooming in the deep sea, and the bright flame of wheat ears in the autumn.
Please don't cry for me when you see the cumulonimbus clouds in the morning,
Seeing the fiery clouds at night,
That's me.
I am the vision, I will become the rule, I will not pass away.
