Chapter 301 The Only Heritage
"There are thousands of palaces on this continent, it's impossible that all of them are paintings." Wang Ran showed a thoughtful expression. He was sure that the ancients would not leave only some works of art without practical significance to their descendants. The treasures he expected might be in other palaces. "Go and have a look at other palaces."
He walked out of the palace and suddenly stopped when he reached the door.
He was silent for two seconds, turned around and solemnly closed the door of the palace, and then walked towards other palaces.
Although these paintings have no practical significance, they are the hard work of the ancients. As the successor who received the ancient heritage, he has reason to keep them well.
Wang Ran came to another palace nearby.
He took a deep breath, reached out and pushed open the door, breaking the stillness of time in this palace.
He walked into the palace with the torrent of time, and rows of exquisite sculptures came into his sight. Like the previous palace, these were all beautiful top-notch works of art, but they had no practical significance.
Wang Ran pursed his lips, turned around and walked out of the palace, and closed the door for it.
Paintings, statues, music, books, etc. Wang Ran found more meaningless but exquisite works of art in other palaces.
He gradually realized one thing.
"These palaces seem to be a museum built by the ancients for themselves to commemorate themselves." Wang Ran got rid of the excitement of receiving the ancient heritage at this moment. He searched dozens of palaces, but he never found what he expected. "These palaces are like their own tombstones."
When a civilization is on the verge of extinction, what will this civilization do?
The ancients gave the answer.
That is to collect all the things that shine with the glory of humanity, build a museum for themselves, and pass on their own culture. Even if the material is destroyed, the spirit is not destroyed.
As long as there are successors, it can be regarded as a kind of eternity in a sense.
Wang Ran was very emotional.
However, the earth has suffered many disasters and difficulties. He hopes that the ancients can leave something that can help the people on earth survive.
He flew high up and looked down at the entire continent.
There was no need to explore other palaces. Those palaces probably also contained some works of art. What he was looking for was not in those palaces.
His eyes fell on the palace located in the center of the continent.
He had been to this palace in the simulation. This palace was the largest of all the palaces. Although it was destroyed in the simulation, there was a sculpture in the center of that palace, while this position in other palaces was empty.
Since other palaces were tombstones built by the ancients for themselves, if the ancients left any treasures for their descendants, it could only be in this special palace.
"Go to this palace and take a look. All the questions should have answers."
Wang Ran flew straight to this special palace.
He landed on the steps in front of the palace gate.
This palace is different from other palaces, which can be seen from here, because the gate of this palace is a heavy stone gate, and various exotic flowers and rare animals are carved on the gate.
"Other palaces are left for themselves. They are the fading past and do not need gorgeous decorations, but this palace is left for future generations. Future generations are the rising future and like this kind of fancy carvings."
Wang Ran put his hand on the stone door and pushed hard.
Boom! ! !
The stone door slowly moved inwards with a huge roar, revealing a crack that could allow one person to pass through.
The moment the crack opened, time from the outside world poured in.
Everything in the palace came alive. A refreshing fragrance penetrated Wang Ran's sleeves, moving music lingered in his ears, colorful birds he had never seen before circled and danced in the air, and beautiful plants he had never heard of swayed their branches in the soil.
Wang Ran was slightly startled.
The frozen time sealed everything in that moment tens of thousands of years ago. Now that time has resumed its flow, everything has returned to its original appearance.
Wang Ran walked into the palace. He found the sculpture in the simulation in the center of the palace. In fact, it was not a sculpture, but a gorgeous stone platform. It might have been damaged too badly in the simulation, causing him to mistake it for a sculpture.
On the stone platform, a bracelet emitting a blue halo was quietly floating. It was obviously a treasure left by the ancients to future generations.
But Wang Ran's eyes stayed on the bracelet for only one second, and then quickly shifted, because there was a person sitting under the stone platform.
A living person!
Wang Ran was startled at first, and then an idea came to his mind.
[Start real-time simulation]
[.]
[Simulation ends]
Wang Ran pursed his lips and walked towards the man.
"Hello, Kolonchi."
He was the first to greet him.
The man raised his head. He didn't say anything, but Wang Ran easily caught the doubt in his eyes.
Wang Ran could guess what he was thinking.
"Tens of thousands of years have passed. I am your descendant." Wang Ran waved his hand and answered the man's inner doubts like a prophet. "I know your name because I have mastered some predictive abilities. You have won the war with the giant beasts. Their patriarch is now lying half-dead on the earth. A new generation of humans has grown up."
Kolonchi is a real ancient.
From [Real-time Simulation], he learned that Kolonchi was a messenger chosen by the ancients to convey messages to the future, and he was also the last ancient. His duty was to convey information to future humans and to guard and exhibit the artworks left by the ancients.
Hearing Wang Ran's words, a strange expression appeared on Kolonchi's face, and it was hard to tell whether it was relief or sadness. He slowly stood up, picked up the glowing bracelet from the stone platform behind him, and threw it towards Wang Ran from a distance.
Wang Ran reached out to take the bracelet. He looked closely and saw that there were a total of 23 beads on the bracelet, each of which was emitting a blue glow.
"This is the miracle bracelet." Kolonchi showed a nostalgic look, and said apologetically, "We are in a decisive battle with those worms, and we don't have anything extra to give you. This is our only and most precious thing."
Wang Ran pursed his lips and said, "Thank you."
He now understood that when the ancients built this place, they were probably pushed to the brink of genocide. Any weapon, a bottle of elixir, or a piece of armor could be the key to determining the survival of the race, so the ancients took it for themselves and did not leave it to future generations.
But they left behind the miracle bracelet.
Kolonchi sighed: "We haven't figured out the real use of this bracelet. If we had, we might have won the war. But we used it to create those worlds outside. You should have seen them when you came."
The mirror world was created with this bracelet.
Wang Ran fell into deep thought.
Anything mysterious on Earth is inseparable from the gods. What exactly is this bracelet?
