After a moment of silence, Aishalin said in a heavy voice, "Who wrote these words? Since the Age of Mist, it seems that none of us humans have awakened to godhood."
An Lan sighed and said, "Combining the previously seen unknown creature skeletons and the special environment surrounding it, I'm afraid this desert doesn't belong to Earth... or rather, it didn't originally belong to Earth."
Yaen slowly said, "An Lan, do you mean that because of the spatial connection of the mist, this desert, which was originally located on some unknown planet, has now appeared on Earth?"
"I can't guarantee it completely, but the probability should be quite high."
Osiris, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up: "Is this what we should be discussing now? Shouldn't we be discussing the fact that this race has gods, yet they were still swallowed by the mist?"
Everyone fell silent again.
Looking at the somewhat unpleasant expressions on their faces, Lu Ning recalled what Bai Yuan had said earlier.
After becoming a god, he might assimilate with the mist and become an evil god.
According to the records in this text, the capital was swallowed by the mist after their tribe's king became a god.
If he became a god and then transformed into an evil god, then that makes sense.
This king personally destroyed his own capital.
Of course, this is just Lu Ning's guess.
He didn't even say it.
As for the fact that becoming a god would turn one into an evil god, it's likely that Ya'en and the others didn't know.
If this gets out, it will likely cause unrest.
While Lu Ning was pondering, Jerry said with some confusion, "According to the records in this text, their situation seems a bit strange."
"What's strange?" Everyone looked at Jerry with some confusion.
Jerry said, "Look, it's been over two thousand years since the first wisp of mist appeared on Earth. But according to this written record, the mist in their place only appeared for about 187 years before it almost completely swallowed their planet. Isn't that a bit too fast?"
Everyone was taken aback.
An Lan said thoughtfully, "There is indeed a problem. Gods were born 187 years after the appearance of the mist. Either this race is exceptionally talented, or they already have the necessary foundation. Normally, they should have had an easier time resisting the invasion of the mist than we have. But they only lasted for 187 years. This is too unreasonable."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"It's really unreasonable, but what could be the reason?" Su Qi asked, puzzled.
An Lan thought for a moment, then said, "This inconsistency is either a problem with the planet mentioned in the records, or a problem with Earth. We don't know anything about that planet, but our Earth... doesn't seem to have any problems?"
After much discussion, the group still couldn't pinpoint the exact problem.
A race that was clearly much stronger than humans managed to hold out for only 187 years during the Mist invasion.
Humans, on the other hand, lingered on for over two thousand years during the Age of Mist.
Then, An Lan thought of something and frowned, saying, "Now there's another question: why is there this knowledge of writing in the source of that evil god's contamination?"
Everyone was taken aback and looked at each other in bewilderment.
They looked at Lu Ning.
Lu Ning paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know. Perhaps this evil god devoured the life forms of that planet and mastered their writing system?"
Lu Ning had another guess in his mind: that the Hand of the Underworld might be that king.
However, this is also just speculation.
Even Lu Ning himself didn't have a definite answer, so it goes without saying that others would have even less to say.
An Lan changed the subject, saying, "Let's record all this information. When we get back, we can tell those officials. Perhaps from their perspective, they will know some other information."
The others snapped out of their daze and stopped thinking about it.
After translating and recording this information, An Lan took photos of the inscriptions on the stone wall and copied them.
Perhaps we can study this script later.
After that, they searched the room again.
Steve found several pieces of crystal in the drawer of his desk.
The crystal emanates a strong spiritual radiation.
To Lu Ning's surprise, there seemed to be no mental pollution inside.
Or rather, the level of mental pollution is quite low.
In Lu Ning's view, there was no sign of mental pollution.
Even the purity of soul crystals found in the outer mines was something that Yann and his group had never seen before, let alone soul crystals this pure.
Anlan conducted a preliminary test using instruments, and the results were astonishing.
"Such a soul crystal has the same amount of spiritual radiation as ten thousand soul crystals that we usually use, but its level of contamination is only one-thousandth of that of a soul crystal we usually use."
"How is this possible? How can there be such a soul crystal?" Su Qi exclaimed in surprise.
The others were also incredibly shocked.
“If we can cultivate using these soul crystals, then our rate of improvement probably won’t be much slower than that of the race described in the written records, right?” Osiris exclaimed.
The others nodded in agreement.
These soul crystals are incredibly precious!
In the end, An Lan took two of these pure soul crystals for research.
The rest were kept by Yann, who would take them back and give them to the demigods for them to study.
They continued investigating the room, but unfortunately found nothing else.
There were no other passages to the stone house; this was the end of the road.
The group had no choice but to turn back, and soon returned to the cave they had been in before.
