Bulwark of Light

Chapter 590 Traveler (5K words)
The majestic statue is as high as [-] meters.

Gu Shen stood under the statue, he chose to trust his inner instinct and did not act rashly.

It's just that the black gem is too conspicuous. It is inlaid on the forehead of the god seat, shining with a strange light, which is very attractive. In the depths of this dark hall, it is almost the only light source.

Mu Wanqiu stared at it for a moment, then said, "This gem... seems like it can be picked off?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she shook her head, quickly denied her previous thoughts, and muttered to herself: "This palace of the underworld is full of weirdness, maybe there is some kind of mechanism hidden in this gem... It's better not to move around. .”

The knife that slashed the maze earlier was considered to have improved his memory.

"When I just opened the door, I felt that behind this huge rock wall... there seemed to be a way."

Mu Wanqiu suddenly remembered something, and said seriously: "There is wind blowing from behind the rock wall."

"Behind the rock wall, is there another exit?"

Gu Shen was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then he noticed that there were indeed gusts of dark wind constantly seeping out from the cracks in the huge rock wall.

It's just that it's too dark and deep there.

On the contrary, it is easy to be ignored.

The entire underground Hades is connected with the [door], with the exception of this place.

This idol is a [door] that can really be pushed open.

So behind it... where will it lead?

Gu Shen slowly took two steps forward.

The pendant is peaceful... The causal weapon, which is omnipotent, seems to have lost the power of "sensing" here.

He had to prepare himself for the ominous.

In the darkness, the wind kept blowing, making it gloomy and cold.

Gu Shen lit the blazing fire, barely lighting up a small area, followed by Mu Wanqiu who also tried to light the fire, but the ordinary fire source couldn't keep burning at all, and it was extinguished immediately when it was ignited.

As the judge raised the blazing flame, the surroundings of the two gradually became brighter and clearer.

The two huge walls nearly [-] meters high sandwiched the two of them in a long "corridor" stretching as far as the eye can see. At this moment, the light was lit, but it made people feel suffocated and depressed.

"Here are the words."

Mu Wanqiu snorted.

The judge held up the flame, illuminating the black rock wall on one side.

On the rock wall, there are incomprehensible "ancient characters" engraved one after another... The history of this rock wall seems to be very long ago. These carved ancient characters have endured the wind for many years, and there is a faint feeling of dryness. Cracked decay.

When seeing these ancient characters, Mu Wanqiu felt lost in his eyes.

She knew that the more these words appeared, the higher the research value of this underground relic.

She knew even more that no matter how valuable these words were, if she couldn't understand a single word, it would be meaningless.

"Wait a minute..."

next moment.

Mu Wanqiu's voice became surprised: "Under this ancient text... there is an annotation?!"

The rock wall is too large, and when each ancient text was carved, there was a large gap... And what is incredible is that under these gaps, someone actually wrote the relevant annotations.

Gu Shen came behind Mu Wanqiu, looked at the rock wall, and fell silent.

For a long time, the biggest characteristic of ancient characters... is that they can only be understood, but cannot be expressed in words.

But... If someone records something in ancient Chinese, those who understand it can of course convert it into words and write it down.

"This ghost place...is there really a second person here?"

Mu Wanqiu stared blankly at the annotations on the rock wall, and stretched out her fingertips to touch them. These annotations were obviously added later.

She really couldn't figure it out.

Who is so sacred, who has the ability to come to this place, has the ability to read these words...and also has the leisure to leave his own "notes" on the rock wall?
……

……

"I declare in advance that I did not vacate this place."

This is the first section of the wall where the original starting point was located.

It was also the first sentence left by the "mysterious translator" to the people behind.

Gu Shen and Mu Wanqiu looked at each other and fell silent.

After discovering the "note", both of them subconsciously believed that the evacuation of the hall should be done by the translator.

Seeing this sentence, I felt quite manipulated.

"When I arrived, this place was already like this... I think there will be more things when you arrive."

The second sentence is still true.

It's just that Gu Shen vaguely felt a little strange.

He noticed a word.

"you……"

How did this mysterious translator know that the person who came here was not alone?

Mu Wanqiu also noticed this.

"This word is not a big problem..." She thought about it seriously, "Perhaps when this person came to the rock wall and commented... he thought that this text would be seen by many people in the future."

Gu Shen nodded.

He continued to look back.

"Before the text starts, you need to pay attention."

"The following text may carry mental fluctuations... When reading, there may be a visual image emerging, please don't resist, feel it slowly."

"at last……"

"I'm not a producer of ancient texts, I'm just a translator responsible for carrying them."

……

……

Thick gunpowder smoke billowed in the sky.

The dark fire faltered, and the sky fell.

The gray dome was covered with a layer of shadows, and a ship that covered the sky and the sun was broken into two pieces. One end was inserted into the ground, and the other end was like a broken sword point, pointing directly at the sky. There were countless broken electrons between the two ends. Light arcs, crackling.

It wasn't just dead things like "ships" that were broken in two.

In this huge, broken gully, there are countless broken bodies, dancing with the sand and dust.

These were once "living creatures."

Some are dead, their faces are withered and gray, all the blood has been drained, and they will not say a word. Some people are still conscious, struggling desperately, trying to squeeze out of the body that is held between the gaps of the ship, but they don’t know the other half of their body , has been completely truncated... These people, their fates are all the same.

death.

In the distance of the gray dome, at the end of the horizon, there was the sound of howling storms.

However, this unbearable "purgatory scene" was interrupted at this moment.

A plain white palm appeared above the gray dome.

With a flick of five fingers, the gloomy sky was brushed away.

Immediately afterwards, the owner of the plain white palm said softly: "As you can see... this storm is dozens, hundreds of times more terrifying than the one that Gubao just encountered."

Queen's Castle, the second floor of the attic.

Meng Xizhou stood in the melting pot of ice and snow, she was surrounded by holy "glow", her fingertips were flying, and the scene created by her own ideas was crushed to ashes, shattered and dissipated...

She knew that this scene, staged to this point, was enough.

"According to the danger rating of Beizhou Fortress, what level should such a storm be?" Meng Xizhou opened his mouth softly and asked sincerely: "I'm afraid it's S-level... It's not enough to describe the real horror of this storm." Bar?"

The queen on the throne, holding out two fingers.

She gently twirled a piece of light scattered from Meng Xizhou's body. This formless and ethereal light solidified into substance at this moment, and was twirled by the queen at her fingertips.

"This is a real scene 600 years ago." Meng Xizhou continued: "These dead and dying people are all human ancestors 600 years ago. They trekked from the distant [Old World] and migrated. On the way, we encountered an unprecedented source quality storm, and I don’t know how many people died for it... Like the fallen ship in the picture just now, there are more than one.”

She couldn't see the face of the empress on the throne.

But she knew that Queen Beizhou would not remain unresponsive.

After a moment of silence, the queen spoke.

"Where did you get the picture?"

"The forbidden area of ​​Guangming City, a dust-covered 'forbidden book building'." Meng Xizhou said calmly: "These pictures should not appear in the official history 600 years later, so Guangming City concealed them and used the most primitive and oldest The method... Presumably these 'secrets' are not secrets in your eyes."

The queen played with the piece of light, and hummed lightly.

Words are the most primitive and oldest spiritual carrier.

Sometimes, old doesn't mean obsolete.

So far, this carrier is the best carrier to use.

Regarding this fragmented history, Guangming City used "spiritual ancient texts" to completely seal it, ensuring that it will not be noticed, and at the same time, precious video data can be preserved.

"It's no secret to the top seat."

The queen said softly: "Every god who refines fire has personally been to the [Old World], and has reached a very far away... You can only understand this period of history from the forbidden books, but I have seen it with my own eyes. The broken ships and the weathered bones of ancient human ancestors."

When she said this, the Queen's voice was still gentle, with a three-point smile.

If Meng Xizhou made a special trip to Central City, it was only to report this matter to himself.

Then she might be disappointed.

"Yeah, I know."

Meng Xizhou said softly: "Every god has been to the [Old World], a great existence like you naturally knows how unbearably broken a history existed 600 years ago...but I am asking to see you today, not to show off What I have seen and heard, but I want to offer you my windfall, the true history of the 'Traveler' clan that was covered up recorded in the Forbidden Library."

The moment the word "traveler" came out——

The smile on the queen's face slowly disappeared.

[Deep Sea] links the five continents. In theory, the information, technology, and knowledge of human beings for 600 years are all stored there... But there are always some things that the top executive does not want [Deep Sea] to know.

These things have nothing to do with permissions.

And the history symbolized by the word "traveler" is the past that cannot be found in the database no matter how you search.

"Traveler, the owner of the eighth fire."

Meng Xizhou no longer looked up.

She watched her eyes, nose, nose, and heart, and said slowly, "For a long time, there have been rumors that there is an 'Eighth God Seat' in the world... Most people think this is nonsense, but You should know that the rumors about the Eighth God Seat are very likely to be real."

The seven fire seeds are the power to separate human beings from the "gospel box" after the giant wall was built.

This is the "official history" recorded in the history books.

"The video just now is a picture of the 'Great Migration' 600 years ago. I think the reason why the parliament banned this history is because 600 years ago, we had a very high level of technology."

This news is not good news for the current human society.

After the great migration, although human beings found a new home, they also suffered heavy blows.

Past data, technology, and the most core part of data were destroyed along with the giant ship...

What is silent is that those vehicles during the great migration back then cannot be reproduced with the technology of Beizhou today. After such a long technological development and the leap of [Deep Sea], today's Wuzhou technology Still not comparable to ancient humans.

This is a cruel and unforgiving reality.

Now order is collapsing faster and faster...

However, the overall technological level of human society is not as good as before the first year.

Even the ancient humans who developed the giant ships are dead... Can today's five continents really resist the increasingly powerful tide of order?

Blocking the history of 600 years ago is to stabilize people's hearts.

Otherwise, the extraordinary order of the entire five continents will be greatly impacted.

At that time, there will be a large number of retrogressionists and capitulationists... There is no unity within the parliament. Under the impetus of these pessimists, it will only be more difficult to move forward.

"Of course... the point I want to say is not this."

Meng Xizhou paused for a moment, then raised her palm, and the taboo image reappeared.

In the furnace, the wind and snow were blowing.

600 years ago, the sky over the shattered ships kept zooming in and out.

Above the gray dome, a "figure" was vaguely suspended.

In the boundless cloud of lead.

That figure just floated faintly like this.

The ancient humans in the ship needed to wear special masks in order to resist the erosion of the source quality.

But "he" doesn't need it... There is a pair of plump wings growing behind "he", and under the rendering of the gray dome floating with dust, the pair of wings are also particularly dark against the backdrop.

This is not human.

But... another creature.

"During the Great Migration, sometimes sacrifices had to be made in order to keep the population as a whole moving forward."

Meng Xizhou lowered his eyebrows and said softly: "Many 'people' died because of this. They did not die under the chasing of the storm, but died in the 'righteousness' of sacrificing for the ethnic group."

"The traveler is a wave that was sacrificed in the tide of history. This is a family that was wiped out by official history. They once kept a fragment of the gospel box... Theoretically speaking, this is the eighth fire. The predecessor, but before the catastrophe, they were discarded in the [Old World], and the 'fragments of the Gospel Box' in their hands were also left in the endless dust."

The queen silently watched the goddess of light in front of her.

After Meng Xizhou uttered the word "traveler", she strengthened the spirit of the furnace gods to ensure that this conversation would not be heard by anyone.

"You...how did you know that?"

The taboo library in Guangming City hides many secrets, and the secrets are also graded... History of this level should not be seen by Meng Xizhou today.

Before she formally took over the "Fire Seed", no matter how much she received from the gods, she would be mere mortals after all.

Most importantly, this is what happened in the City of Light.

If Meng Xizhou knew.

Then the high probability is equivalent to... the God of Light knows that Meng Xizhou knows.

"You don't have to worry, 'he' doesn't know about it."

Meng Xizhou laughed at himself.

"The scene just now is the spiritual memory left by the first God of Light. This ancestor was the first group of 'pioneers' who arrived in Wuzhou. He founded the City of Light. Before he died, he left this secret in the In the taboo book building... the blessed light of the ancestor of light covers the book building, and can erase all detections from the outside world."

"It stands to reason that only those who inherit the throne of the God of Light are eligible to read that book." At this point, Meng Xizhou paused again and muttered: "But... I just opened it so simply, there is nothing wrong with it." Blocking, maybe this is the arrangement of fate, or maybe it is the approval of the ancestors."

The queen looked directly at the goddess: "Continue."

The history of the Traveler Clan is shocking enough.

But... not enough.

She is revered as the Seven Gods, she smelts fire, and after stepping on the highest seat, most of the secrets in this world are clear to her heart.

"Do you think... the travelers who were abandoned in the [Old World] are dead now?"

Meng Xizhou was silent for a moment, but instead asked such a question.

She looked up at the throne in the forge of snow.

Too much snow.

She couldn't see clearly the face of the female emperor who controlled the entire Beizhou at this moment.

But she could hear the Queen's fingertips tapping the handle of the throne slowly.

A few seconds later, a calm response came from the throne: "That's the [Old World]..."

"Not all creatures who fall into the [Old World] will die."

"Natural selection, survival of the fittest." Meng Xizhou bowed and said in a drawn out voice, "...just like Pluto."

20 years ago.

Pluto disappeared in [Old World].

20 years later...he's back.

Seeing that the throne had returned to silence, Meng Xizhou spoke again, "The travelers are not dead, they are still alive...living in the chaotic order of the [Old World], but lost their way. Over the years, we have been looking for an oasis, Traveler It's looking for us."

The sound of the queen knocking on the throne stopped abruptly.

"interesting……"

The queen asked softly: "How do you know such a thing?"

This is not a secret that will be recorded in the Forbidden Library.

"Would you believe me if I said it was a 'dream'?"

Meng Xizhou's expression is sincere, and the belief here actually has two meanings.

The first level is to believe that such a dream really exists.

The second level is to believe that the guidance information given by this dream is true.

"20 years ago, the light attacked the Netherworld because of a 'dream'." The queen smiled in a low voice, "now you seem to be more favored by the rules than the light back then... But I can't understand, light The people chosen by Tinder have been guided by the rules, which have always been related to 'Pluto', why do you dream of 'Traveler'?"

Meng Xizhou looked up.

"This is a dream about 'Pluto'."

She said word by word: "I dreamed that Pluto and Traveler stood together, and they wanted to open the door to 'hell' together... 20 years ago, they were old acquaintances."
