Chapter 662: Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Land
As if sensing the humans' vigilance and doubts, Cang Min once again made a big promise: [My ancient race is trying to find a way to receive the legacy from the Third Age.]
[If we can completely control the space tunnel, it will be easy to teleport a few cities outward.]
[One of the contents of this Buzhou event is the redevelopment of the space tunnel. Why leave by crossing the sea? 】
Lu Yuan asked again: "We are just a low-level civilization, a million miles away from a level 5 civilization. How can we develop the so-called 'space tunnel'?"
Cang Min laughed loudly, his eyes downcast, and said meaningfully: [There will be a way.]
The ruins of Buzhou were incredibly large, with mountains, seas, lakes and rivers everywhere.
The large number of meteorites floating in the sky record the tragic wars that once took place.
If you quietly use the eyeball of the [Monster] Myth, you can see spider-web-like cracks floating in another dimension, as if leading to the endless distance... Such strange cracks only appear in large numbers in the Ruins of Buzhou.
Lu Yuan even saw the so-called "Void Clan". They were like a group of black mist, and were re-opening the tunnels - obviously, this kind of development was very difficult. A member of the "Void Clan" could widen the tunnels by about one kilometer a day.
Compared with the size of Pangu Continent, this speed is obviously too slow.
"There is actually such a species in the world... It would be great if my world could produce this species!"
What Cang Min said was not false, the ruins of Buzhou was a place of great fortune.
Water flows to low places, and people go to high places.
Areas with low "fortune" can be teleported to places with high "fortune".
The opposite is not true.
The power of [Heavenly Mythology] lies in its ability to temporarily change the fortune of a region.
Thus, ultra-large-scale transmission can be achieved with the help of space tunnels.
"The Great Emperor of Heaven, the title and decree are indeed well-deserved. I give you good luck, and you will have good luck." After figuring this out, Lu Yuan's eyes lit up slightly.
The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. He has been studying the Immortal Palace for so long, but only discovered this relationship today.
The teleportation to the Immortal Palace not only relies on the superb spatial rules, but also relies on the power of "luck".
…
It was half a month later that the Qinglian spacecraft arrived at its final destination.
According to ancient legends, Mount Buzhou evolved from the spine of Pangu.
However, with the passage of time, everything has been erased, and here there is only a slightly raised plateau with an altitude of 3,000 meters.
A large number of civilizations gathered here, and there were hundreds of different styles of architecture alone: there were perfect isosceles triangle buildings in the shape of pyramids; there were palace-shaped buildings whose length-to-width ratio, column height-to-diameter ratio, and even the spacing of decorative lines strictly followed the golden ratio; there were also modern deconstructivist buildings whose surfaces were covered with green plants but were made of reinforced concrete.
So many civilizations actually gathered together through space teleportation. These ancient races had been planning for this Buzhou event for a long time.
"I wonder how powerful the strongest civilization of this era is... has it come here?"
Human beings have experienced many experiences and have a rich heritage, but Lu Yuan does not think that humans are the strongest civilization.
Because those natural interstellar civilizations and second-generation civilizations have developed thousands or tens of thousands of years in advance, they must have some trump cards in their hands.
Especially the second generation of civilization, those who can escape to another world must be level five civilizations. As long as they leave behind a very small amount of heritage, future generations will benefit infinitely.
With a slight "boom" sound, the Qinglian spaceship slowly landed.
Cang Min suddenly received some orders and looked at them: [It will take another year for the Buzhou Festival to start. You can communicate freely here, you need to build your own accommodation, and the land can be divided at will. ]
[In the city ahead is the arena built by our tribe. ]
[I have other matters to attend to. Sorry I can't accompany you. ]
The fellow with a dragon head and a human body threw a communicator over, took big strides, and walked quickly towards the distance - I saw a vague shadow hanging where the sea and the sky met, hazy, like a mirage, which should be the small world owned by the ancient race.
Lu Yuan withdrew his gaze and looked at the city in front of him, which was a small city with a population of only about 100,000.
I was wondering, they didn’t even provide a place to stay, are they so short of staff?
"We will notify the rear to send a spaceship over to build some basic equipment."
"Then... just wander around."
One of the power armors kept changing shape and soon turned into a small floating spaceship, carrying Lu Yuan and his group inside.
There are not many civilizations here, but they are distributed over such a large area that it seems a bit uninhabited.
Along the way, there were no birds singing, flowers blooming, or flying animals. There was only an empty grassland, and not even any insects.
In the Third Age, a shocking war took place here, and traces of idealism still remain until today, so no animal is willing to reside in the ruins of Buzhou.
Along the way, Lu Yuan also saw several trading markets composed of low-level civilizations. There might be only first- or second-level civilization cities, and the trading materials were ordinary, such as minerals, plants and the like.
In order to obtain intelligence, the diplomatic team bought some small items, spending 1 spiritual charm, and started a conversation in a familiar manner.
“Heh, who knows what these ancient races want to do?” A creature with a fish-like head spat, “They got us here, and we can’t even get out.”
"Don't you mean that we can return to Pangu Continent by crossing the ocean?" Lu Yuan asked.
"Oh, how big is the ocean?" The fish-headed creature said disdainfully, "There was once a civilization that wanted to cross the ocean, but it disappeared along the way and has never been heard from since."
"Maybe it's really gone?" said an ape-like creature nearby.
"That civilization did leave behind a means of long-distance communication." The fish-headed creature lowered its voice, "That was a level 4 civilization. They suddenly lost contact. What do you think happened?"
Suddenly, everyone fell silent, some of them shrank their heads and dispersed.
Lu Yuan felt vaguely uneasy and frowned slightly. This groundless news could be a rumor or it could be true.
"Friend, what is the name of the missing Level 4 civilization, and how strong is it?"
"Don't ask me, I just heard it from others."
He continued to drive the spaceship around the area and actually saw a few lizardmen setting up stalls on the roadside.
One of the lizardmen had many eyes on his body.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but blink his eyes violently, thinking he had seen it wrong, and hesitantly called out: "Taduo?"
The lizard man turned his head and looked hesitantly at Lu Yuan on the spaceship. When he found that he was not mistaken, he trembled all over and became excited: "Lu Yuan...Mr. Lu!!"
These people are actually lizardmen from the Rize civilization. Seeing them here is beyond everyone's expectation! The Rize civilization is the first civilization Lu Yuan encountered in Pangu Continent, and this "Taduo" is a comrade-in-arms with Lu Yuan. The two have fought monsters in the cave together!
Even the human diplomats were shocked: "It's really them!"
The first and second generation Green citizens have all come into contact with the Rize civilization. Without the basic materials provided by the Rize civilization, it would be extremely difficult for them humans to achieve industrialization from scratch.
"How come you are here? Has your city also been teleported here?" Lu Yuan was in a happy mood. It was really like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. He felt a sense of familiarity.
He quickly docked the spacecraft on the ground.
The lizardmen excitedly welcomed them into the house.
"Our city is not here." Tadu personally made them a cup of tea brewed with ants. "Ten years ago, my civilization encountered a group of ancient aliens."
"They came flying from the sky on a giant flying dragon."
"They advertised that the 'Bu Zhou Gala' would take place."
"So my civilization decided to send a diplomatic team here. We were teleported here through the space tunnel... In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed. I don't know when we can return to civilization."
Tadou made his story short and looked a little sad.
Their Rize civilization completed many civilization milestones at the beginning of the era, and was considered a relatively lucky civilization.
In addition, Lu Yuan had already given them "Field Industrialization" a long time ago, and they now have the strength of a third-level civilization.
“But compared with the ancient races, they are still far behind... The aura of the strongest one is only slightly weaker than that of 'Mother Earth'. What a terrifying existence it is... Even if we have some doubts in our hearts, we can only agree.” Taduo still had lingering fears when he said this. Mother Earth was a ghost-level vision. He could not imagine that intelligent creatures could reach the level of a vision.
Lu Yuan frowned slightly: "Do you think these ancient races are reliable? What are they planning?"
"They... aren't very friendly." Tadu lowered his voice. "It's hard to conceal their condescending attitude. Sometimes it's obvious that they treat us like ants..."
"Fortunately, ten years ago, a super-powerful civilization emerged and fought them fiercely, proving the power of science and technology, which made these ancient races behave more moderately..."
"Where is that super powerful civilization now?" Lu Yuan asked hurriedly.
As a telepath, Tadaud used his telepathic ability directly: "They are not here."
"That battle involved weapons of mass destruction. They didn't trust these ancient races and crossed the ocean to leave... Of course, there were also civilizations that believed they were dead."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Isn't this place equivalent to a large prison, where people are only allowed to enter but not leave? "Commander-in-chief, can we return to the alien space?" Professor Lu Tiantian asked softly in the headset.
"No." Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes. "The Blue Peng civilization influenced the mind of the monster and made it hate our Green City, so it threw us out of the alien space."
"We can only re-enter Green City after the [Monster] has forgotten about it... Do you think you can just go in and out whenever you want?"
"It's going to take at least a few decades."
"And this grand meeting will be held in a year."
It is also not feasible to return to the North through the Temple. On the one hand, the teleportation fee is quite high, and teleporting 10 million people back is an astronomical number.
On the other hand, do we need to discard all the large equipment and the poppy trees? This is obviously not true.
For a moment, all humans were stunned.
Taduo took a sip of tea and continued, "It is said that the civilization had already reached the threshold of the fourth-level civilization and was still very capable. But it suddenly disappeared, causing all civilizations to be terrified. But those ancient races didn't explain anything. There was sea water everywhere, so we could leave if we wanted to, and stay if we wanted to. They didn't care at all."
Lu Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "It must be very painful for you to stay here. It feels like you were tricked into coming here."
Taduo laughed twice: "It's not bad. There are quite a few representatives of civilizations like us."
"The ancient race claimed that as long as we can completely open up the space tunnel, we can return to our own civilization! And we are all considered meritorious officials, and we will receive their support in the future... This pie is really big."
"We are just small fry anyway. And our city has not been teleported here. If something really happens, we will die."
He was very open-minded and just like he was five hundred years ago when he fought in the cave, he was very open about death.
"By the way, not all ancient races are arrogant and conceited. There are also some who look kind."
"For example, the Lu Shu clan. According to many civilizations, the Lu Shu clan has been active in the Pangu Continent for many eras, and there are still clan members passing on their legacy to this day..."
Lu Yuan asked for a while in the Immortal Palace and learned that the Lu Shu clan was equivalent to the Mai civilization.
However, their foundation is not as deep as that of the turtle civilization, and their racial value is not as good as those of the turtle people, so they are not well-known.
Tadu continued, "There are also some ancient races that were sealed in stone. They were all transported here, and with the help of the great fortune of this place, they tried to thaw it again."
"Seal in the stone?"
"These ancient creatures used the 'weaver's slime' to bury themselves deep in the earth. Over time, the weaver's slime reacted with the minerals and turned them into stone."
The weaver's mucus has a small amount of time properties and can preserve matter from decaying. Lu Yuan also has some in his hands.
I didn't expect it to have such a use.
"These sealed species do have the possibility of being revived. For this reason, the ancient race has summoned scientists from many civilizations and offered a high price... They have been researching for decades."
"These ancient species have become smarter now, and have begun to use the power of science and technology, and want to recruit talents. But generally speaking, they are still superior to us and think that we are a group of ants. Whether it is blood or wealth, they think they are a level higher than us deep down."
Tadaud sighed and took a big sip of his tea.
The ancient races did not need any science and technology to return to their ancestral bloodline, and they themselves were the source of their bloodline.
Their god attribute limit is naturally above 30 points. Great spiritualists, which is very difficult for ordinary civilizations to achieve, are everywhere in their place.
The combat power of [Innate Mythology] is comparable to that of a natural disaster-level phenomenon.
In this case, it is understandable to be high and mighty...
Lu Yuan smiled and patted his shoulder: "It's a great joy to meet an old friend in a foreign land. Don't be sad. If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. It's not our turn!"
"How about we build the embassy nearby and be neighbors from now on?"
Tador and several other lizardmen were immediately overjoyed. They came here on behalf of the Rize civilization and were all alone.
Other diplomatic teams have a city to rely on, but they have almost nothing and even have to grow their own food!
This kind of life is indeed indescribably depressing.
But now, the old ally human civilization has come here, finally bringing them a great sense of security! And Lu Yuan is also in a good mood, and he doesn't bother to care about all kinds of troubles: "Let's drink first today, I'll treat you!"
"How can I let you treat us? After all, we came here first, so I'll treat you!" Tador laughed and took out a basin full of "virgin ants" for us to take an ant bath.
Lu Yuan's face suddenly turned green.
And everyone burst into laughter.
In the end, both sides contributed some supplies, talked about everything, and reminisced about the past and looked forward to the future in a small room.
When drunk, the chest is still open, and the temples are slightly gray, so what... Taduo's experiences in these years are very strange. His soul was polluted by the [monster], eyes grew all over his body, and he lay in bed for more than a hundred years, and miraculously recovered.
The soul strength and divine attributes are stronger than those of ordinary lizardmen, and the telepathic ability is greatly enhanced. He quickly came to the fore and gained a higher status.
"Come on, cheers! Where are your wife and children?" Lu Yuan asked casually.
"Hey, my wife didn't suffer the same fate as me. She died of old age... As for the children... our children in Rize are all raised in the ancestral hall. I can't tell which child is mine."
"Even if there is, I already have a family and a career. There's nothing to worry about!"
Taduo took a sip of pomegranate wine and sighed, "I have several brothers and sisters, they are all old, time passes too quickly, only I have a longer life span, I don't know if I can still see them, time is passing, people will always die."
“We came into this world alone, and we leave alone.”
“Life is nothing, but if I can make a small contribution and be remembered by future generations, it will not be in vain.”
Lu Yuan poured him some wine: "Brother, you are a little drunk, but it's okay to get drunk today."
"If you miss your hometown, you can use the dream ability of the poppy tree to meet them."
"Haha, that's not necessary. Before I left, I left one eye in the Lize civilization. Messages can be passed through that eye... I will tell them about my encounter with you." The lizard man was very excited. Lu Yuan was still as reliable as before.
"Like the eye you gave me?"
"Yes, but I am stronger now than before... That eyeball can live for a very long time... How about Mr. Old Cat?"
"Old cat... it's so cool! Come visit our city tomorrow. You are truly honored guests."
