Chapter 153 Enlightenment

Lu Yunsheng asked: "How is it, what did you see?"

He Guangzhi exclaimed at the information displayed on the screen:

"So that's how it is. This Li Yi is truly a genius. He actually discovered traces of the ruins from these clues."

“Lao Lu, I want to go over there and confirm whether this relic is a heritage relic.”

Lu Yunsheng stretched out his hand to stop him, saying unhappily, “Hey, hey, this is inappropriate. You’re leaving without explaining anything? What if the other side’s Heavenly Rank expert attacks you?”

He Guangzhi calmed down after being stopped by this, and said thoughtfully: "In order to prevent any unexpected events, let Lin Wendong go over and watch first, so as to prevent them from attracting any powerful people of the Heavenly Rank. After all, this is a heritage relic, and the matter can be big or small."

Lu Yunsheng said: "Okay, Xiaozhuang, you issue the dispatch order immediately."

Xiaozhuang received it and started to operate on the light curtain.

He Guangzhi said: "In addition to Lin Wendong, let Mu Tianlei go too. With these two, even if we meet the evil cult Tianwei who escaped earlier, we can definitely win."

Xiaozhuang worked quickly and swiftly.

Lu Yunsheng asked: "So what kind of genius is Li Yi?"

He Guangzhi smiled and said, "Look at his information and search records yourself, and then look carefully at the information he has searched. If you check them in order, you will probably know most of it."

Lu Yunsheng was speechless and almost wanted to punch He Guangzhi, but he still gave him face, walked to the light curtain, and carefully checked the historical records.

I was really confused at the beginning.

It was not until I read the information three times and saw the portrait on the death list again that I suddenly had an idea and vaguely grasped the context of the matter.

After all, he was a top-level Heavenly Rank expert with a clear mind. With the help of reference materials and records, he quickly understood Li Yi's thinking.

Then he sighed: "It took him three days to look up information, but he actually found a lot of it. With his brain, it seems that he may be able to quickly understand your unique skills, Lao He."

…

at the same time.

The Pluto mecha walked up to the wild evolvers who were stopped by Jiang Chaoqun and delivered a grand, deafening voice:

"It has been confirmed that you are suspected of privately developing the remains of an ancient divine civilization with the intention of destroying federal property and trampling on the crystallization of ancient technology."

"Now I'm giving you the opportunity to report internally who is manipulating you and who plays a leading role in this matter."

“…”

Everyone off the field looked at each other in bewilderment.

Li Yi quickly read everyone's expressions and said:

"It seems that you are unwilling to give out the mastermind. Very good, then can I assume that you are all the main culprits?"

As the terrifying power of the Pluto mecha pressed down, no one spoke.

This reaction caused confusion among several members of the group.

In such a life-and-death situation, do you still have the courage not to give up the key personnel?

On the public channel, Liang Zhishen said:

"Li Yi, why don't we just freeze these people where they are, and go down to the ruins to take a look, and then interrogate them? The fact that these wild evolvers can enter and develop means that this heritage ruins is probably not very dangerous."

Li Yi shook his head and said, "No, I think they don't say it, most likely because they are restricted by the ideological stamp."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Stamp of thought?

Teng Juli frowned and asked, "Could it be that they are the same group of people who attacked us last time?"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, but the signs of ideological imprint are very obvious. I'm afraid that I won't get anything out of him by questioning him forcefully. I have to use the interrogation method I used last time, but in this situation, it's not easy to interrogate everyone one by one."

"Also, although these evolvers are only beginners, they all seem to be about to break through to the intermediate level. Their overall strength is stronger than I initially estimated through various data."

Hearing this, Liang Zhishen nodded and said, "Stronger than expected? Could it be that Zheng not only gave them ideological stamps, but also gave them sufficient resources? No wonder these people are so loyal and have kept it secret for so long without being exposed."

Li Yi said: "How about this, Instructor Liang, let's do as you say. Let's freeze the people in place first, and then leave two to guard the place, and the other eight will follow me to check."

As he spoke, the Pluto mecha raised his hand and released the Pluto's divinity, covering the dozen or so self-taught evolvers below.

In just a moment, these evolvers were completely frozen by the huge absolute zero characteristics and turned into big ice balls.

The divine mechas that stayed behind to guard were Teng Juli and Tan Haode.

The two of them are divine mechas of the Wind God sequence and the Fire God sequence respectively. Their abilities match each other, and their combined strength is not bad. Even if a strong man of the Heavenly Rank attacks, they can barely hold out for a while and call for rescue from the other eight people.

…

After the entrance to the ruins was opened by the divine mecha, the entrance and exit were large enough.

After the mechas entered, they immediately found something wrong.

The height of this underground space is only a little over a hundred meters.

When the mechas fell down and then stood up slightly, they found that the internal environment was extremely cramped.

These hundred-meter-high cones occupy a diameter of ten meters on the ground, and gradually become more pointed as they extend upward, until at the hundred-meter-high top, they are less than one meter in diameter.

Basically, there is a hundred-meter-high cone like this every twenty or thirty meters.

It is quite troublesome for the mechas to move among these sharp cones.

At the bottom of the cone, there are doors two or three meters high, which seem to allow entry through the doors.

At some nearby pointed doorways, one can clearly see traces of the previous group of evolvers entering and exiting.

Various small items were scattered around.

The shape of the objects is obviously not the style of commonly used objects by humans. It can even be said that it is more similar to things from divine civilization.

After observing this, everyone vaguely understood something.

Liang Zhishen said thoughtfully:

"If this is a heritage relic, then these spikes are heritage towers? Those evolvers enter these heritage towers, clear levels, and obtain items? So the evolution levels of these wild evolvers are so high?"

After a moment's silence, Li Yi said, "The carbon-oxygen environment here is pretty good. Even if we expand the entrance and exit, not much will leak out. So, Hu Yitong, you and Lin Xiaohu will guard here first, and the others will come with me to see if these spires have a role in inheritance."

"Of course, there is one thing that everyone needs to pay attention to. Those evolvers may not be controlled by Zheng's thought seal, but by other types of thought seals that may exist in this place."

"Therefore, do not enter these spires without my order."

Everyone responded with an "understanding", then one after another ejected from the insertion cabin and jumped down.

With everyone's strength, this height can naturally be overcome easily.

Several people followed Li Yi and soon gathered in front of the spire with the most traces.

At this time, everyone noticed that on the right side of the door frame, there were some strange words written, like the house numbers in human houses, printed there.

The reason why the text is so strange is that the fonts on each spire are different.

Some are round, some are sharp, some are complex, and some are simple. They all have different shapes and are special in their own way.

Liang Zhishen asked quickly: "Li Yi, you are a senior decryption expert, do you recognize these characters? Are they the characters of an ancient divine civilization?"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "I have already scanned the whole place, and I only recognize one type. I don't recognize the others."

Among the crowd, there were many who heard for the first time that Li Yi was a senior decryption expert and were all surprised.

But since Liang Zhishen said so and Li Yi also admitted it, it must be true.

With this thought in mind, Xu Weilu asked:

"What kind of writing do you recognize? Is it from the spire in front of us?"

Li Yi did not answer immediately. His slender body stopped in front of the spire with the most traces of exploration, and a rare look of doubt appeared on his face.

"If I'm not mistaken, then the text on this spire is the ancient gourd text."

Among the crowd, several people who had participated in the exploration of the Tianshu ruins all had their pupils tremble violently at the same time.

Zhang Pengting was surprised:

"Is this the gourd text? The gourd text we first discovered in the Tianshu Ruins?"

“But wasn’t the Gourd Civilization born long after the destruction of the Divine Civilization?”

"If that's the case, doesn't that mean that these relics are not the remains of an ancient divine civilization?"

Everyone has similar doubts about this.

Li Yi shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, because judging from the origin, the gourd text originated from the ancient divine civilization, and these gourd texts are not contemporary versions, but their early versions."

Liang Zhishen nodded and said, "That is to say, if the gourd civilization really inherited some of the essence of the ancient divine civilization, then it is entirely possible that it inherited some of their writing and evolved it?"

"Yes."

"So what do these words mean? Can you recognize them?"

Li Yidao:

"It is most likely 'gourd civilization', or 'gourd series', or 'gourd family', etc. The meaning of gourd is certain, but the following words need to be translated according to different situations. It may be any of the above three situations."

Liang Zhishen said thoughtfully: "It's similar to the multiple meanings of a word in our federal language? For example, the word chicken has many different uses in different scenarios?"

Li Yi: "...There's nothing wrong with your understanding."

Xu Weilu looked at Liang Zhishen with disdain and said:

"Could it be that each of these spires represents a civilization? The reason why the text on each spire we see is so different from the other texts is because these texts are not from the same system?"

Li Yi nodded and said, "Yes, a spire and a text may also represent a civilization or a future direction of evolution."

Now, everyone was looking forward to it.

According to this layout, could it be that these spires themselves are the legendary heritage relics? Each spire inherits a branch of divine civilization knowledge?

With these doubts, everyone moved closer to the spire and observed it carefully.

Among them, Li Yi stands in the front row and is currently in the closest position.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Suddenly, a suction force came from the door frame of the spire, trying to pull Li Yi in.

However, since the suction force was not that strong, Li Yi was still able to withstand it.

The key is that in addition to the suction, there is also a faint sound, like the whisper of God, which makes people irresistible and can't stop wanting to go in.

Fortunately, Li Yi himself has a strong soul. Even the upper-level mecha masters are far inferior to him.

Therefore, with a little resistance, you can regain your consciousness.

Then, retreat quickly.

"Everyone, please don't get any closer. The closer you get, not only will the suction become stronger, but your will will also be out of control and you will be sucked directly into the spire."

"Now it seems that those wild evolvers are not simply controlled by Zheng's thought stamp."

As they were talking, Lin Huiyi behind them screamed and was actually sucked into the door frame of another spire next to them.

Moreover, with this exclamation, as if dominoes were knocked over, the remaining people were sucked into the surrounding spires one after another.

After a while, Li Yi was the only one left in the whole venue, standing in the middle.

Lin Xiaohu, who was on guard duty above, witnessed this scene and had no time to reach out, and immediately felt guilty.

"How hateful! He was clearly watching closely at all times, yet he still lost his composure like this!"

Li Yi said: "Don't panic, even if you enter, it's okay. We are all high-level mecha masters with rich combat experience. We will probably be disturbed by the thought stamp for a while, but there will probably be no problem afterwards."

Despite saying so, a hint of gloom flashed across Li Yi's eyes.

He thought for a moment and decided to wait where he was.

If those wild evolvers can come out, there is no reason why these tough guys can't come out.

By the way, Li Yi used micro-electric properties to stimulate the nerves around the eyes, looked around, and carefully observed the words in front of each spire.

…

About thirteen minutes later.

BANG!!! With an explosion, the spire door frame in front of Li Yi's right suddenly opened, and a soft and weak body was ejected, flying towards him like a rag bag.

Li Yi was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He moved forward and caught the limp body.

It was Xu Weilu who was exhausted and had a dazed look as if she was drunk.

Li Yi reached out and patted Xu Weilu's face, saying, "Wake up, are you okay? What did you see after you entered?"

The micro-electric properties on the palm were also stimulated, slightly stimulating Xu Weilu's head nerves.

After a while, Xu Weilu recovered a little and said:

"It was a level-breaking challenge that required me to clear the level within three minutes. I cleared four levels in a row, but failed at the fifth level, and then I lost consciousness."

Li Yi let go of Xu Weilu and said thoughtfully:

"What is the content of the level? Are there any rewards after clearing it? Do you feel something like a mental stamp?"

Xu Weilu blushed slightly, stood up, and said, "It's a challenge of divine control. The first level is to use divine power to control a palm-sized puppet three meters away to defeat a small puppet of the same height. The second level is two, the third level is four, the fourth level is eight, and the fifth level is sixteen."

"The first four levels were fine. After I got used to it, I was able to win by a narrow margin."

"But at the fifth level, there were too many of them and there was nothing we could do."

"However, every time I clear a level, I seem to gain a better understanding of the remote control of divinity, and my skills become more flexible and proficient."

"As for the Thought Seal, there was indeed some interference, which became stronger the higher you go. I guess the reason why I lost consciousness after the failure was also related to the Thought Seal trying to insert itself into my soul."

"Fortunately, from the current point of view, I should be able to hold on."

Li Yi understood and said, "Hearing what you said, I vaguely understand the meaning of your spire text. Perhaps, that is the meaning of the puppet civilization."

Xu Weilu was slightly startled: "Didn't you say you only knew gourd characters?"

Li Yi smiled and said:

"Many of the characters here are hieroglyphics, but they are abstracted in different ways. The glyph where your spire is located looks like an adult manipulating a small person. The word itself may mean puppet, circus, puppet show, or something like that."

Xu Weilu nodded slightly: "It does make sense."

As he was speaking, another person popped out.

It was the fat man Jiang Chaoqun.

Since the place where Jiang Chaoqun jumped out was far away from Li Yi, Li Yi did not run over to catch him.

Moreover, Jiang Chaoqun's condition was obviously better than Xu Weilu's. He looked energetic and seemed to have not suffered much mental damage at all.

As soon as he landed, he stood up steadily.

Li Yi asked: "From your state, it seems that you have gained a lot. How is it? What level did you encounter?"

Jiang Chaoqun said happily, "There are no levels. It's just that beautiful women came to give me warmth. Unfortunately, these seem to be dreams. I was forced to wake up after a short while of happiness."

Xu Weilu: “…”

Li Yi laughed and said, "You are quite lucky. How about it? Did you feel something like the thought stamp?"

"Ideological stamp?"

Jiang Chaoqun shook his head and said, "No, I don't feel anything at all."

Li Yi touched his chin and said, "Could it be that this thought stamp depends on the person who triggers it? Or is the situation different for different spires?"

He carefully observed the spire text that sucked Jiang Chaoqun in, and looked at the characters that looked like a yin-yang fish, and seemed to have realized something.

In the 21st minute, Zhang Pengting was bounced out with a listless look on his face and fell to the ground.

He was in better condition than Xu Weilu before. He rubbed his butt and slowly stood up, complaining:

"You don't know what I encountered. There is a wrestling master on each floor. If you want to wrestle with me, you must beat your opponent to enter the next level."

Xu Weilu was surprised and asked, "You have persisted for so long, have you already cleared many levels?"

She compared her own persistence time with her knowledge of Zhang Pengting's ability and was somewhat incredulous.

Zhang Pengting shook his head and said, "No, I only made it to the third level. The second level was more difficult. I couldn't do anything to my opponent, and my opponent couldn't do anything to me. I wasted more than ten minutes before I made it to the third level."

Xu Weilu finally felt relieved. Fortunately, from this perspective, her strength was not that much different.

Li Yi asked: "What did you gain from defeating your opponent?"

Zhang Pengting said:

"It seems like I have some insights into wrestling techniques, but I'm not sure if I learned them myself after winning the fight, or if they were imposed on me by the spire."

"If it's the latter, then maybe this place of ours really could be a heritage site. However, I feel like this heritage site might not be as good as the legend says."

Li Yi asked: "Instructor Zhang, where is the ideological stamp? Do you have any feelings?"

"Ideological stamp?"

Zhang Pengting showed a look of fear and said:

"I'm ashamed to say that after failing the third level, I was almost transformed by the thought stamp of the spire itself!"

"Fortunately, I have been on guard against things since you reminded me, so my overall condition is fine. I also think there is something wrong with these wonderful insights in my mind, so I am not in a hurry to digest and absorb them."

"Although this may be a heritage relic, I think we should be more cautious in treating it."

Li Yi nodded slightly and said, "I agree with your point of view. Don't rush to absorb these insights now. Let me try it and see what this insight is like. My soul is naturally tougher, so I am not afraid of the transformation of ordinary thought stamps."
