Chapter 534 What is the Epochal Disaster?
The illusion in the dark continues.
The foreign messengers in black gauze clothes said in a hoarse voice: "Viper God, your land is rich in resources and life is prosperous, but it is surrounded by wolves and is in a war zone on all sides."
"The mighty warriors are gradually dying out. How can we defend our territory, God?"
"Even if Your Highness is a natural legend, isn't the enemy also a legend?"
In this jungle age of the survival of the fittest, wars are frequent and mutual plundering of the population is everywhere.
"What's more, many countries have adopted a method to enhance their combat power... (*Some deliberately deleted clips)"
This strange method seemed to have sparked discussions among many snake nobles.
"Your Majesty, I have also heard of this method. Send our warriors to fight against the enemy's warriors, and then we will know who is stronger." A university scholar proposed a plan.
"Yes!" The Snake Emperor waved his hand.
…
In the next gambling fight, Lu Yuan found that his perspective had not changed.
The ability to trace history also has its limits. Perhaps in order to avoid some dangerous content, the archaeologist did not face the battle head-on.
…
There were earth-shaking shouts in the palace, and blood splattered three feet high, staining the ceiling.
The snake nobles gathered together, whispering.
In a moment, the battle was over.
The end result speaks for itself.
The Snake Emperor was silent for a moment, his face not looking good: "Foreigner, what do you want to gain by telling us this method?"
"A population of ten million!"
"This is impossible!"
These messengers in black gauze clothes spoke eloquently: "Your Majesty, as long as you capture the cities of other civilizations, you can plunder more slaves. We only need these slaves, not your people..."
"We need a powerful ally to provide this magical method..."
"Otherwise, we will just keep it hidden."
"Your Majesty, if you are unwilling, you will only watch your land being annexed, your people being enslaved, and being massacred by outside forces."
…
The picture gradually became blurred, and this historical retrospective information ended just like that.
Lu Yuan calmed down and found himself still sitting in the main hall of the Immortal Palace.
He had too many questions in his mind.
The other six strange people also had serious expressions, no longer their usual playful look.
Lu Yuan was just about to ask.
"It's not over yet." The old snake man said, "Don't talk, and don't ask random questions. Even if you guessed something, keep it to yourself."
Divine Skill——Memory Library!
The mysterious scene appeared in Lu Yuan's mind again.
…
I don’t know how many years have passed.
Near the snake man's palace, there was a small pool of water, shining with golden light, with steam rising from it, and it was magnificent.
It seemed as if infinite energy was gushing out from the pool.
The clouds of water vapor glowed like golden bubbles in the sunlight, and the sound coming from deep within the spring was even more powerful, like the sound of waves.
Even though the snake city was rich in resources, it had never seen such a strange scene.
The nobles were all sucking their tongues in amazement, dancing and clapping with excitement.
"This power is too amazing!!"
"No wonder those enemies... have become more powerful in recent years, and the pressure on the border is getting greater and greater..."
"Now that we have this thing, we can also train higher-level fighters."
The nobles became more and more excited as they talked, and they couldn't wait to drink the spring water.
At this moment, the mythical snake emperor suddenly spoke. He had been thinking, but shook his head in disbelief: "Everything has a price. I don't believe that there is no need to pay any price to use this spring water."
"Where does it come from? Why is the effect so strong? These are all mysteries."
"What if its cost exceeds our ability to bear?"
"Your Majesty, if we don't use this spring water, we won't have enough fighting power to defend the border." The other nobles bowed, "Others are using it, if we don't, we will perish within a hundred years."
"Have you asked about the price?" asked the Snake Emperor.
An old snake man walked out from the crowd.
The eyes of the snake man were shining like stars. "According to my divination, the first person who tries it will hardly have to pay a price. However, the more races that use it, the higher the price will be. But if everyone uses this spring water, the price they pay will be so high that we cannot afford it."
Everyone started discussing, what is this? This is a dilemma.
The snake king sighed deeply and looked towards the sun that was so far away that it would never set.
The sun in this world never sets. It is always at noon, radiating its light and heat endlessly.
However, the changes of the times have taken place quietly.
…
Once again, this brief historical review ends.
Lu Yuan popped out of the illusion. When he regained consciousness, he thought for a long time and didn't know what to say. He couldn't help but widen his eyes: "No...nothing? The secret you kept for so long, only this little thing?"
"I've been waiting for so long!"
The old snake man said impatiently: "Yes, there are more, but it's not suitable for you to see. After all, you still have to leave this alien space. You can't stay there for the rest of your life, right?!"
Lu Yuan was suddenly choked. He really had to go out.
"There's already a lot of information in these two scenes. You can't blame us if you can't come to a conclusion on your own!"
“All information is valid!”
"Also... don't discuss this with anyone. Trouble comes from the mouth. Do you understand? Don't bring disaster to your family."
"Of course I know this..."
Lu Yuan pinched his nose and used his quick brain.
The two stories just mentioned come from the First Age.
"A pool that suddenly appeared, a mythical snake king, and some border enemies..."
So many miscellaneous clues made his brain very messy.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh. Involution is really harmful. In a jungle society where the strong prey on the weak, everyone has no choice but to use something that is obviously problematic.
The country that uses it first can grow the fastest.
Whoever does not use it will be the first to become extinct.
So, why did the snake emperor become a ghost? "If the water in the pool can turn intelligent life into ghosts, then the number of ghosts in this world would be too numerous to count."
"That is, only 'myths' are qualified to become [ghosts]. This also explains why there are not many [ghosts]. That snake emperor is a natural-born myth..."
"And there is an explanation for the ghosts' extraordinary abilities. These predecessors were already mythical in themselves, and after being greatly enhanced, they became such terrifying beings..."
Lu Yuan scratched his ears and cheeks, his head felt a little hot.
"There is another clue. The snake man [ghost] was split into two halves..."
"I can think of two explanations. The first is that some powerful civilization in the future split his body in two."
"But there is another possibility, that he divided it himself."
"The Snake Emperor was very wary of that pool. He might have made some backup plans... The division of the body was a restriction he imposed on himself to prevent himself from losing his mind and slaughtering his own people."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"That's why the snake people [ghosts] don't move during the day and only come out at night."
"Is this feature a backup plan? Sigh, it's a good thing. Otherwise, humans wouldn't have a chance to catch their breath and would have been crushed to death here during the day."
Lu Yuan racked his brains, and when he thought about this, he felt a little relieved.
The backup plan from countless years ago could actually still be used at this moment! "By the way, the fact that this place could become a springboard for interstellar civilization to escape might also be related to the self-restriction of the snake people [ghosts]."
"These self-restricting [ghosts] are rare in number, and they may have some kind of magical power, so this place has been transformed into a special different space."
After this analysis, it was difficult for Lu Yuan to continue deducing. He recalled for a long time but could not find any more clues.
He could only settle for the next best thing and analyze what the pool was.
"That thing should be infinite idealistic energy. I wonder where it came from..."
"Now there is also a pool in the Serpent Man Palace, but it no longer has unlimited energy. Although the Fountain of Life inside can increase lifespan and has a very powerful effect, the spiritual charm in it is extremely rare."
"In other words, the Snake Emperor turned into a ghost. Could it be that he swallowed up a core that provided unlimited energy?"
So, could this pool be the epochal disaster itself? Lu Yuan thought... it was unlikely.
On the one hand, the information about the epochal disaster itself is obviously taboo and cannot be easily traced back.
The information he was currently seeing was not too toxic, otherwise these archaeologists would have been poisoned to death long ago.
On the other hand, [Ghosts] were not originally an epoch-making disaster.
It is just a product that appeared to resist the disaster of the era.
So what exactly is the epochal disaster? Lu Yuan racked his brains, combined with the known information in the past, and almost turned his brain out.
"The disaster of the era is human?"
"Those outsiders dressed in black gauze clothes demand a population of 10 million."
"This shows that even in the era of infinite spiritual rhyme, population is still meaningful... In this case, the epochal disaster is likely to be human."
This "person" refers to a powerful intelligent life.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan felt that the situation was a bit tricky.
This person or group of people occupies the top ecological niche. Even if they turn themselves into ghosts, they are no match for them. When the peak civilization sees them, they can only run away.
Lu Yuan was sweating all over because of thinking about himself, and he was so hot that white mist came out of his body.
Of course, there is another possibility for the epochal disaster.
People like Hai Zhiyun believe that the epoch-making disaster comes from the external starry sky, that is, above the atmosphere.
What is it like from the perspective of historical retrospection?
Lu Yuan compared and analyzed the sky in the first era and the sky now.
The answer is most likely: the sun! The sun in the First Age never sets!
The sun in the Ninth Era rises in the east and sets in the west, which is similar to the normal physical world.
In addition, the sun radiates infinite light and heat, which just proves the phenomenon of infinite energy. What's more, what exactly is the sun of Pangu Continent?
The answer is, I don’t know.
In fact, there have long been human experts who want to study what the sun is.
Because Pangaea was so big, could it really rotate once in 24 hours? Impossible. If Pangaea was in the form of a planet, and it took 24 hours to pass a day and a night, its rotation speed would probably form a super hurricane, throwing all objects out.
The only explanation is that there seems to be something wrong with the sun. The sun is everywhere and can radiate to every corner.
"No, there could be something wrong with a star other than the sun. Assuming that every star is a source of idealistic divergence, those pools of water may be connected to other stars, which is why they are like this... Could it be that they brought all the monsters from other stars here?"
All sorts of clues gathered in his mind, and Lu Yuan had difficulty distinguishing the truth from the false. In the end, he could only sigh: "The water here is really deep."
"Understand?" asked the old snake man.
"I understand a little bit, but it's definitely not something I can solve." Lu Yuan said helplessly.
“It’s good that you have this understanding.”
Then, everyone stared at each other in silence for a long time.
Lu Yuan suddenly made a suggestion: "Dear seniors, let's talk about the ancient insect. It is also a benefactor of mine. It gave me the Immortal Palace and the ancient insect horn."
"If you have any wealth, you can trade with it. The item transmission function can still operate normally."
"Okay...how about we set up a foundation?" The crystal man suddenly made a suggestion.
"What?" Lu Yuan was startled and didn't react for a while.
"You own this fairy palace. If you just sit here and wait for guests, I'm afraid you will get nothing in the end. After all, this thing is a relic from the Third Age, and it's too old."
"We still have to let the ancient insects take the initiative to become 'civilization relics' and steal some civilization points. It can't be said to be stealing, it's mutual support to promote the common development of the Ninth Era!" The Crystal Man said righteously.
Lu Yuan was a little tempted: "Wait, then our human knowledge will become commonplace, right? Will there be any risks then?"
"Humph, what does that matter? Would you like to exchange your lousy knowledge of the third-level civilization for 500 lucks?!"
Lu Yuan immediately said: "Change! Change!"
The trade of material knowledge is easy between civilizations.
Because every civilization can apply the same materialistic rules, as long as there are talents and resources, it will be successful.
But the transaction of idealistic knowledge can easily get stuck. For example, the poppy tree and the tree of life, these unique species cannot be traded, so it is useless even if you are given the knowledge.
Even the shell of the immortal giant turtle is an important trading material.
Without the tortoise shell, many carvings cannot be successfully engraved, and the difficulty is ten times higher than before.
In this case, exchanging the knowledge of a third-level civilization for 500 lucks is definitely a win-win situation! ...
