Chapter 456: Tomb Raider 4: Searching for the Goddess (4)

After saying this, the space around David suddenly twisted, and a miniature black hole opened up in the void.

"Is this the real reason why you were able to suddenly move to other places?!" Lin Jiu's pupils shrank: Yes, according to the translated inscription, after this group of escaped people gradually return, the guards of the Goddess's Tomb should also be strengthened a lot.

So much so that he could take the entire Goddess's Tomb away from its original location.

The methods of shrinking the earth to an inch mentioned in ancient legends are actually the folding and leaping of space...

"We have to be one step faster than you. If something unexpected happens, it will be bad." David raised his foot and was about to walk into the micro black hole. "Although we will not hurt you, on the other hand, we will not help you anymore."

"What do you mean? Could it be..." Lin Jiu's face changed.

"This planet has been damaged too much by you, and when it can no longer bear it, it will be the beginning of the destruction of this era of civilization..." David showed a bit of nostalgia on his face, "In the beginning, it may just be a change in temperature and frequent accidents..."

"Until finally, the anomaly ends and judgment comes—"

"In order to buy time, you need to take a good rest..."

David uttered these words softly as he stepped into the micro black hole.

An inexplicable feeling of fatigue came over him violently. Lin Jiu made a quick decision and bit his fingertips, then stumbled towards the telephone on the cabinet not far away.

When he picked up the phone, there was a busy tone, which almost made Lin Jiuji, who was struggling to stay awake, collapse.

"Master Lin, what's wrong with you?!" Ah Mei, who came to visit after finishing her night shift, caught him.

"Take the thing on the table... to Zhuang Chen and them..." Lin Jiu had no strength left at this time. He could only use the movement of his pupils to instruct Ah Mei to look at the desk on the other side. Then he continued to add, "We must... wake up the 'Goddess' in advance..."

"No, otherwise... a great catastrophe will come to the world, and judgment will come..."

"Master Lin! Master Lin!" Ah Mei shook Lin Jiu twice, then checked his vital signs. After confirming that he was just in a deep sleep, she called other people and tried many ways to wake him up.

Of course, nothing worked.

Therefore, Mei could only honestly tell me everything she saw and heard: "When I came over with some midnight snacks, I suddenly saw David walking into a strange black hole at the door. Then Master Lin suddenly lost his balance and wanted to make a phone call but couldn't get through. In the end, he said those few words to me."

Aaron frowned and carefully picked up the document on the desk. After a quick glance, he found that the translation was in messy text, so he could only suggest that Mei take the document with her and go to Nepal.

A few people who stayed behind were missing for no reason, but this incident seemed to be a big problem, so Mei had to adjust the patrol schedule again with A Long and others, and seize the opportunity to take the night flight to Nepal.

At this time in Nepal, Zhuang Chen also translated some of the stories recorded in the inscriptions.

"According to the inscription, this mysterious 'Clan of Gods' appeared when Emperor Qin first unified the six kingdoms..."

"They have all kinds of magical skills and possess many mysterious and powerful powers. Their words can educate the people, their actions can shrink the ground to an inch, and their bodies are extremely strong. According to the records and oral traditions of the surrounding people, they can even resist all attacks and aging..."

"So the Emperor Qin was tempted to acquire the power of this 'Clan of Gods' and thus fulfill his dream of immortality?" Johnny asked.

"That's about it. Although the people of this tribe are smart, they are very easy to trust others. So the Qin Emperor used some means to let his soldiers get a part of the power source of the 'God Clan'..." Zhuang Chen sighed and continued, "But the people of the 'God Clan' also quickly noticed this problem. However, because of their kind nature and the fact that they are outnumbered, they did not plan to resist the Qin Emperor, but secretly planned to escape..."

"After the hidden spy reported this news to Emperor Qin, he immediately sent people to intercept the fleeing gods. However, they were eventually beaten to the punch by the leader of the gods, the goddess, who summoned a huge dragon in this place..."

"After the dragon descended with colorful rays of light, it took away all the gods except the leader goddess as promised. The leader goddess consumed a lot of energy in summoning the dragon, and in the end she was helplessly captured by Emperor Qin's army."

"Then, the talented people on the side of Emperor Qin began to use all the resources at hand to study the secrets of the "God Clan"."

"And the name 'Goddess Yunsu' also comes from this - because when a dragon with great mysterious power is born, there will always be gorgeous colorful clouds and auspicious clouds in the sky, so the captured leader goddess naturally became the 'Yunsu' they were looking forward to."

"But what no one expected was that when they began to ungratefully covet the power of the Protoss, divine retribution had already arrived."

"And this story is what we know before - using this intercepted goddess and some of the power they obtained before to conduct research, that group of talented people produced some 'elixirs of immortality'."

"Amid the public's anticipation, the soldiers who were used for the drug experiment saw their physical fitness increase dramatically in a short period of time. However, they soon became irrational ghosts or monsters, causing great chaos in the world."

"In order to save his people, the Emperor Qin had no choice but to go before the goddess Yun Su to admit his mistakes and apologize, hoping to find a solution through her."

"And the goddess Yun Su's answer was that she had told them long ago that doing so would only lead to regret, but they still didn't listen..."

"Then how was this problem finally solved? Is this the origin of the Goddess's Tomb?" Qingxia also asked.

"Yes, seeing that the world, which was already full of disasters, was devastated by this and the people were suffering, the goddess Yun Su finally couldn't bear it, so she used her power again, and joined forces with the group of talented people under the Qin Emperor to seal most of the power of the ghosts that were causing chaos in the world into the altar, and then sent it to the escaped tribesmen, asking them to help suppress it..."

"The goddess Yun Su, who had once again consumed most of her remaining power, used herself as the core to suppress the ghostly phantoms, so the Emperor Qin ordered that group of talented people, farmers, and soldiers to build the 'Goddess's Tomb' and a large number of terracotta warriors, and sealed her and the group of mutated ghost soldiers deep underground..."

"But later, as time passed, the ancient legend seemed to have become distorted after being passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation, and the Tomb of the Goddess became a tool for people to pray for victory in battle..."

"With the turmoil of the war, the true and false news about the goddess's tomb gradually disappeared in people's memories and words. Later, people in remote villages planned to follow the old custom of using human sacrifices to pray for peace and tranquility in order to quell the unrest. In the end, they suffered the consequences. All the people in the village died, leaving only the sacrificed girl to escape... Speaking of it, it really seems like an ironic drama."

They all learned about Lin Susu's life experience from Lin Jiu. Such a tortuous ending caused a lot of sighs and lamentations at the time.

"Why would the goddess help those ungrateful people?" Qingxia said angrily, "They had harmed her and her people before!"

In response to Qingxia's question, Zhuang Chen shook his head and replied softly: "Although there are always many differences between Eastern and Western historical stories, there is also an irrefutable commonality - history has always been written by the victors."

"Or perhaps, those who can leave traces in history have mastered the 'direction' and 'arrangement' of history."

"It is undeniable that in the struggle between the two races, the Qin Emperor's side 'won', so the records they left behind say that the goddess Yun Su could not bear to see the disaster in the world and was willing to sacrifice herself again in exchange for peace... But in reality, whether it was voluntary or forced, we, the later generations, have no way of finding out."

"But this is just my speculation. After all, according to the records, this race is probably too kind. Since the ancient times, the 'God Clan' has been helping people build their homes, openly or secretly, and never repays the favor. After helping people, they disappear without a trace, and only appear again when someone needs help later..."

"Could it be that the place where the 'Clan of Gods' live is the legendary Peach Blossom Spring?" Zhuangni pondered for a moment and suddenly thought of another question.

"Who knows? Anyway, this story just tells us that doing good things may not bring good rewards, and that humans are always greedy, that's it." Zhuang Chen raised his hand and gently pressed his forehead, relaxing his tense spirit before continuing, "However, no matter how kind you are, there is a limit..."

"You mean, if the 'Goddess' wakes up and can once again bring about the birth of the 'Divine Dragon', the human world might suffer a catastrophe of revenge?" Qingxia thought about it and her expression changed slightly.

"Maybe it didn't come from the 'Goddess', but from the 'Divine Dragon' or the 'Clan of Gods' brought back by it..." Zhuang Chen lowered his voice.

"Actually, we don't need to think so far ahead..." Seeing that the atmosphere was so heavy at the moment, General Ti took the initiative to come out and smooth things over. "Our goal is to prevent the 'Goddess' from awakening and summoning the dragon. The reason those people brought Miss Lin here is, one, to look for traces of the dragon, and the other is most likely to let Miss Lin continue her identity as the 'sacrificial girl' and once again become a sacrifice to awaken the 'Goddess Yun Su'..."

"As long as we can rescue Miss Lin before the guards can do anything, then everything will be basically solved..."

"Yes, you are right." Zhuang Chen nodded slightly, "As long as we rescue Su Su in advance, the 'Goddess' will not wake up. Without the 'Leader Goddess', the 'Divine Dragon' will naturally not be able to be born again, and this will prevent future catastrophes in the world..."

After confirming the general direction of the next plan, everyone discussed tomorrow's arrangements again and then went back to their rooms to rest and recharge their energy for tomorrow's trip.

However, the next day when they packed up everything and prepared to leave, Ah Mei came hurriedly and brought a copy of Lin Jiu's translation document: "David disappeared mysteriously, and Master Lin asked me to give this to you before the accident..."

The two people who stayed in Hong Kong to do the translation work both met with accidents. This document was just a simple translation and had not been sorted out yet, so it was difficult for them to understand it. It would be better to just send it over by plane.

Seeing the Zhuang brothers taking over the documents and starting to sort them out, Qingxia pulled Amei aside and asked about the situation in Xiangjiang.

However, before the people of Qingxia could be shocked by David's mysterious disappearance and suspected attack on Lin Jiu, Johnny suddenly shouted in surprise: "How is this possible?!"

"What? What happened?" Everyone looked over.

Glancing at Zhuang Chen's silent expression, Zhuang Ni gritted his teeth and slowly told him the truth they had just learned: "All the people in that village died in the strange movement of the goddess's tomb, so there was no chance that the sacrificial girl would be saved..."

"Then..." After hearing this, everyone began to have bad guesses in their hearts.

Zhuang Chen closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You are right, Su Su - is the goddess Yun Su who woke up early for some reason that year..."
