In the dark palace.

He wandered alone under the towering walls and pillars, holding a torch high to see every detail in the palace, and at the same time holding a pen and scroll to record the details he saw.

After the torch burned out, he made a lamp using the grease secreted by the two-faced devil insect that he had taken out earlier, which he had planned to use to make ink.

He took out the used ink bottle, filled it with fluff, and rubbed a wick with fluff. Unexpectedly, the effect was very good and the brightness was long-lasting.

The most common patterns in the palace are various decorative patterns, which do not have much meaning other than beauty. In addition, there are some symbols, which Helfas thinks should be a kind of writing.

“I don’t know who used the words.”

Helfas did not recognize this kind of writing, but after comparing it with the writing that recorded the true name of the sealed object, he felt that it was not a system, which made him feel confused again.

If you can't find that kind of writing in such an ancient temple, then where should you look for it?

What made Helfas feel the most rewarding were some very intuitive murals. He saw a variety of dragon beasts and plants, some of which he had encountered before, and some that he had never seen before.

"Why do people here record so many dragon beasts and plants?"

"Are you observing them?"

Helfas raised the lamp higher and found that the recorded dragon beasts and plants had a common thread.

Because the murals not only record the current appearance of these dragon beasts, but also their past appearances, as well as a large number of their branches.

Each drake's ancestors, its brothers and sisters, its close relatives and the entire bloodline are clearly recorded.

"The Evolution of Life."

A concept immediately emerged in Helfas' mind.

But in his mind, the evolution of life should span millions of years.

The people who carved these murals seemed to have witnessed the evolution of these lives. They watched the birth of these beasts and plants, and also watched these species become extinct because they could not adapt to the environment. Finally, the new species adapted to the new environment.

The one who survives.

Life has no secrets before their eyes, and the tragedy of genocide and the sacredness of birth are nothing but ordinary before their eyes.

He couldn't imagine it or understand it.

How can one witness such a scene?

He walked around the wall holding the lamp, then stepped back to the center.

The horizon gradually enlarges, and the life genealogy on the stone carvings becomes more and more spectacular, just like an endlessly spreading tree of life.

Seeing the stone carvings on these tall walls, he also saw his own insignificance.

He kept raising his head, and finally looked at the dome.

It seems that I can see a pair of eyes looking down at the world. They are immortal and they are high above, witnessing the birth and death of life.

"The people who live here, the people who built this place."

"How long...how long have you lived?"

The temple is very large, with dense corridors connecting one palace after another.

He thought of the stone tablet outside and thought that this might be the meaning of the maze.

He came to a staircase that could lead to both the upper and lower levels.

"Up or down?"

He decided to go down first.

Because he had seen an altar on top of the temple with the help of the light falling from the torch before, he felt that there might be something special there.

His idea at this time was to go there after learning more about it, rather than rushing there.

He likes to save the most important puzzles until last.

He kept walking down with the help of the weak light. The stairs were much deeper than he imagined. He felt that he was no longer going deep into the temple, but into the depths of the earth.

Finally, he came to an ancient gate.

This is a door that cannot be built by manpower. No matter how to dig out such a huge stone, how to move it to such a place, or how to push it open, it is all unimaginable.

When the light illuminated the content on the door, he was stunned.

"What's this?"

On the stone gate on the left, he saw a civilization that was so brilliant that it was incredible.

Walking along this door, he saw trains running densely on the ground, airships flying in the sky, and various cities.

It is even a city floating in the sky.

Helfas looked at it for a long time, seeming to confirm whether it was true, until he saw the carved clouds below the city, which indeed proved that the city was floating on the sea of ​​clouds.

"A city above the clouds?"

"How is this done? How can such a huge city float into the sky?"

He found it incredible and also felt a little yearned for it.

The door describes the prosperity of an ancient civilization and the different characteristics of each mythical civilization. Herfas can only guess the details through the pictures. He can't understand the principles of many things inside, but he understands.

This was definitely an incredibly powerful era, and their technology and power were so powerful that they could conquer the sky and the earth.

Even the starry sky.

Helfas kept walking and even climbed up along the door, wanting to see more details.

What he wants to see is whether the people in the picture are the same as him.

finally.

He saw clearly what those "people" looked like.

"Who is this?"

He saw "people" with snake tails, saw "people" with wings, and also saw "people" with scales, legs and tails.

It's a pity that I didn't see a "person" like him.

Helfas was a little disappointed. He looked everywhere, but he really didn't see anyone like him on the screen.

He stood under the door, amazed and yearning.

But he also thought, if such a civilization exists in this world, where are they now?

"What's the end?"

"Where did all these civilizations go in the end?"

"Why can't we see such a powerful civilization and existence, a civilization that can make cities float in the sky?"

"left?"

Helfas thought about those extinct species and came up with another guess.

"Could it be that they are also extinct?"

Then, he looked at the door on the right.

This time he saw another picture. He saw a huge tower and an erupting volcano.

Then, he saw the dragon man.

However, the picture about the dragon people is very strange. In the above description, they actually came out of a huge tank.

Helfas was confused.

"What does it mean?"

"Does it mean that the dragon people came from another place, or were they created?"

Helfas looked up again and saw several other pictures.

He saw the kind of person with a tail, and then the person with the tail seemed to have turned into the kind of person with scales, legs and a tail due to some accident.

Then the man with scales and tail fell into the vat and eventually became a dragon man.

This depiction method is somewhat similar to the previous bloodline genealogy chart of dragon beasts, telling about the origin and origin of dragon people.

Helfas probably understood that draconians evolved from people with tails and people with scales.

However, he felt that if the evolution of life was interfered with by humans, it could also be considered as being created from another level!

I don’t know why, but when I know that intelligent life has been created, people always feel a sense of loss.

It is as if the birth of life is no longer a miracle, but an inevitable result.

"Dragon people were really created?"

Under the huge stone door, Helfas felt lost.

There are two doors.

One door is engraved with the previous era, and the other is engraved with this era. The distance between them is estimated to take tens of millions of years to calculate.

Helfas looked at the huge door quietly. Whether it was the great civilizations that once existed in this world and then disappeared, or the origin of the dragon people, he seemed to be able to imagine that there was more than just something behind it.
