Forty Millenniums of Cultivation
Chapter 3086: Immortal Palace
Li Yao doesn't understand what moon watchers mean.
Is the so-called "black iron statue” a metaphor, or... literally?
The other line revealed a faint sense of sadness and creeps, but attracted him deeply, silently and listened to the girl go on.
“Like all adults living in Silver City, my mother is also a researcher exploring ancient relics, except that she chose a research path that is often rarely chosen by the Lady Clan - an expert in pharmacopoeia. ”
Moonwatchers explained, "You know, the vast majority of ancient Pharaoh, especially the powerful ultimate weapons, taboo babies and other things, have been banned and sealed, and the master's genes need to be detected to unlock them. My mother has the gift of this, linking the fields of genetics, taboos and pharaoh unlocking, solving countless difficult problems and awakening hundreds of millions of sleeping years of ancient treasures.
“Despite her busy work, she tried to live up to her mother's and wife's responsibilities and maintain the harmony and happiness of the family during her limited time together. I remember at that time she used to bring back some skilful talent, seven knowledgeable pharaohs as toys for me. Her affection with my father was also a deep affection. This love, its pleasant and melting relationship, is very rare in Silver City.
“I know what you want to ask. When I analyzed the profile of human civilization that you transmitted, I found that human civilization also possessed the same technology of ‘sealing feelings and will' as Pangu civilization once did, but honestly, your technology, like those of Pangu people out there, was misguided, in a direction that completely strangled imagination and creativity, and was fundamentally suicidal in spirit.
“The ‘spiritual sealing' technique we use within the ruins of Tai Ancience is more nuanced, more refined and has fewer side effects, even while sealing part of the emotional area, it maximizes the activity of another part of the emotional area, as if to inspire ‘love’ to the limit to counter ‘confusion’ and ‘fear’ when we are faced with vast unknown.
“For my father, he condensed his love for his mother and for me into a spiritual ‘armor’, even a 'sword', so as to support him on his never-ending quest for solitude, his mother and I, his spiritual pillars, symbols of ‘home' he had never seen before.
“But that morning, his spiritual pillar fell in half.
“I can't tell you exactly how it happened. In short, that day my parents were conducting research in their respective fields, and my mother got a pharmacopoeia from ‘Black Iron Civilization’, which seems to be a quadripartite box, and from our past exploration of 'Black Iron Civilization’, and the location of this box and the carcasses scattered around it, it shouldn't be a very important, extremely dangerous super pharmacopoeia, so my mother started routinely researching and unlocking it after regular protection.
“Unfortunately, as soon as she decrypted the genetic code that sealed the box and unraveled it, a black light ran out of the box, covering her, wrapping her tightly and without ventilation.
“When rescuers and healers arrived, the black light had been absorbed by my mother's pores and squamous crevices, turning her into a wonderful, lifelike black iron statue.
“Mothers die, or they end up in a more unacceptable state than death.
“Father's spirit almost collapsed. After three or five days, he was all mad. One of the forces was saying that his mother was not dead. That ‘black box' was clearly the cure for 'black iron civilization'. Black iron civilization was the weirdest form of carbon-based intelligent life. Their conception of time and even life were different from the rest of the ninety-nine ancient civilizations. Mother was still alive, only the rate of metabolism had been lowered to a minimum, entering into some kind of Xuan and Xuan ‘hyperhibernation'. She could still perceive all the information from the outside, move freely and express her thoughts, but only at a rate of hundreds of millions of times slower than our normal people.
“So his father, like a fierce beast with bleeding eyes, growled to prevent the autopsy of his mother's body, much less to burn and bury her. He moved his mother's body, that is, the black iron statue, back to his house, and stood next to his sleeping compartment, and put on his mother's favorite clothes during her life, and every day back home, he leaned his head against the statue, saying a lot of things, as if his mother was still alive.
“Even then, I was an ignorant child, and even in the Silver City, strange and appalling things were happening every day in the ruins of Tai Ancient Monument, but it struck my mind to an unparalleled extent.
“When my father muttered to his mother's black iron statue in the middle of the night again, I finally couldn't stand it, crying and demanding that my father tell me everything, and after a long silence he finally sighed and fulfilled my request. ”
Li Yao sounded surprised and shushed again. Until this moment, the spirit shook, knowing that the next was the most central secret.
Indeed, the electroencephalography from the moon watcher instantly became several times stronger, carrying the flow of astronomical digital information, and the source continued to pour into Li Yao's brain.
“The origins of all this also begin with the great expedition long ago, when Pangu civilization failed. ”
"I find that you humans already know about the existence of the 'Black Wall', the 'Multiverse’ and the 'Great Expedition', but you can save a lot of time, starting directly with the 'Back with the feathers’ part.
“Yes, that great expedition was not a complete tactical failure, and we tested that the so-called 'black wall' was not endless, but thick, limitless and transcendental.
“After crossing the Black Wall, despite encountering a fiercely vicious Floodtide Corps, we have also used all our wisdom and courage to defeat our enemies and even capture many of their starships, with the opportunity to analyze a great deal of technology and enhance our civilization.
“War was originally the most advanced form of communication, and all fighters of Pankonian civilization were in no way afraid of any form of war. Such a challenge alone would never deter us from moving forward.
“But on the return journey, after discovering too ancient a relic, everything became different.
“Compared to the existence of ancestors - the black-wall maker, the flood tide - and the ‘ultimate test' that hundreds of ancient civilizations failed to pass, and the silent destruction of these ancient civilizations in the river for a long time, the understated horrors… what can be compared to the tactical victory we have just achieved?
“As I have just said, after realizing how vast, vast, powerful and horrific the true multiverse is, some people cannot afford such enormous pressures, breaking spirits and falling into madness.
“Even if the will is tenacious, those who have not yet collapsed are like flies with no head caught upside down by a big glass cylinder, buzzing, crashing around and finding no way out.
“Only a very small number of wise leaders and calm, extremely iron-blooded elites have come to the conclusion after lengthy reflections that the ruins of Tai Ancient are our only hope and that we have no choice but to embark on the path of annihilation that has been taken by the last hundred ancient civilizations, full of thorns and flames, most likely leading to destruction.
“The logic is clear.
“The hypervelocity of Pangu civilization has already reached the limit that the Pangu universe can bear. This great expedition was to find new ways out of Pangu universe.
“Now that the way out has not been found, the Alliance of Pan Gu Civilizations, originally made up of thirteen different carbon-based intelligent lives, faces a breakdown and a mutually destructive end. If hope cannot be seen by all, the end of what we have created ourselves will come without a flood tide.
“If we can uncover all the secrets of the ancient relics, overthrow the 'black wall' and unleash the countless rich worlds that have been hidden for hundreds of millions of years, then the glow of Pangu civilization can burn for hundreds of millions of years at least.
“In retreat, even if we are temporarily unable to find a real answer to the ancient relics, a hundred of the ancient civilizations that have explored this place, that is, a hundred pioneers, have left behind weapons, pharmacopoeia, technology, carcasses and the relics of civilization, are equally of great benefit to our civilization and can help Pangu civilization to survive for as long as possible.
“Moreover, the Expeditionary Fleet has captured a large number of Hong Chao regiments and their starships outside the Black Wall. Until all the secrets of the Hong Chao regiment have been thoroughly analyzed and clarified, these things cannot be brought back to the densely populated core of civilization and can only be studied in an isolated place, so that, in the unlikely event of loss of control, the damage can be minimized.
“Thus, the Expeditionary Fleet soldiers divided into two paths, some of the most elite fighters and explorers left in situ, on the ruins of a forward base left by a hundred upper ancient civilizations, established a forward base belonging to our own Pangu civilization, that is, what you call the 'Silver City’, while the other part of the Expeditionary Army returned home and recruited personnel on a large scale, organized hundreds of batches of the most elite expert scholars of Pangu civilization, as well as authorities in the fields of biology, archaeology, energy, cosmology, etc., hidden their names, and left their homes to come here.
“From the very beginning of the first day here, these expert scholars and their families knew very well that it would be difficult for them to have the opportunity to return home again throughout their lives.
“On the one hand, the task of research is too vast and onerous, and there are too many treasures for them to spend their entire lives digging.
“On the other hand, too many secrets hidden in the ruins of too ancient times, as well as viruses and genetic weapons that are most likely to lurk deep in cells, are not suitable for exposure by the vast majority of the population and can only accelerate the destruction of entire civilizations once secrets or viruses spread.
“For security reasons, after dozens of expert scholars were admitted, the Silver City was sealed and turned into a mysterious and unique quarantine zone known as the 'Immortal Palace’ by researchers and high-ranking insiders. ”
