Chapter seven hundred and fortieth: ancient afterimages
"Welcome to the Supreme Being?"
Gu Sanqiu was stunned: "What the hell? Do super ancient civilizations still have any confidence in the origin of all things? It should be impossible."
But no matter what he thought, or even reached into his spiritual power to communicate, the existence that made the sound never responded.
"Enter."
Gu Sanqiu entered the secret realm without hesitation. This place was the end point of the mysterious disappearance of power that they perceived.
But it's no wonder that if you don't go deep underground and observe closely, it would be difficult to detect the hidden entrance to the secret realm with your mental strength.
What a small secret place.
This was Gu Sanqiu's first reaction after coming in. This secret realm was not very domineering in terms of specifications, it was a square space.
But in the center of the space, a pillar emitting blue fluorescence was suspended in mid-air and was firmly tied in place by chains.
"The Nail of Punishment?"
Gu Sanqiu frowned: "Then why is it like this?"
"Welcome, Your Majesty."
The sound of kaka sounded, the floor in front was moved away under the action of machinery, and a similarly square instrument appeared from the hollow below.
"Welcome, Your Majesty, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Gu Sanqiu asked tentatively as Rock Crest shielded his upper body.
"Did you talk to me just now? Why did you call me Supreme?"
"Didi, the question has been entered and we are looking for answers."
"The answer has been found. From your body, I feel the super-high-level power that has the same origin as mine, which conforms to the definition of 'supreme' in the setting."
"The Last Land welcomes you, Your Majesty."
The Supreme Being should be Uncle Ruo Tuo, and I am the one who has gained the honor.
Gu Sanqiu composed himself: "Who are you?"
"The manager of the Last Land, Old Man Earth is here to serve you. Is there anything else you don't understand?"
"What place is this? Who created you with what power?"
Old Man Earth continued: "My creators are the people who survived the evil Sky Nail. They put the evil Sky Nail into a different space for research, with the intention of restoring the power of the earth's veins."
"The Last Land is a secret space built by my creators to lock in the power of evil, but according to my data records, this approach undoubtedly failed."
Evil Sky Nail?
But didn’t this thing fall from the sky?
Gu Sanqiu thought about it for a while, but from a certain perspective, there was nothing wrong with what Old Man Di said.
When your hometown and relatives suffer inexplicable natural disasters, no matter which side such a force is defined in the entire world, it must be evil.
"And my old man used the last remaining power of the earth veins as energy. It was a accumulation point of the power of the earth veins in the sea, and it was also the hotbed where my power source was born."
Old Man Di continued to manipulate the somewhat strange synthesized voice: "Today, my energy reserves are running low. Based on my underlying logic, I hope that the Supreme Being can promise me something."
"explain."
"You should have seen the soul above."
Gu Sanqiu narrowed his eyes: "Aru was able to see our ship clearly in the mist that suddenly dispersed, and found us accurately. Was it actually you who made the effort?"
"Yes."
Old Man Earth said: "But because of this, the remaining power of the earth's veins is about to dry up. According to time records, I should be the last hope of ancient civilization. My creator has passed away long ago."
"If it hadn't been for the supreme power that woke me up and the last and most stringent order, I should have continued to sleep, but your arrival is an excellent opportunity."
"Please help us, Your Majesty, take that child away for us."
"That is the last hope and the last fire of this land."
"Also the last - human."
Old Man Di's voice became stagnant: "That was the last wish of my creators. They knew that they could not survive for a long time, so they wrote this wish into my body."
"If living beings called 'humans' reappear in this land, then I should serve as the starting point of civilization and bring them the brilliance of wisdom again, but I can't do that now."
"I am just a creation. I am able to support myself until now with the help of the stable environment of the Last Land. For so many years, I have not seen any hope."
Gu Sanqiu frowned: "No, you saw hope. There were many people in Alu's era, why didn't you choose one?"
"Ignorance and ignorance are the original sins engraved on the human soul. Even if there are those who cannot bear it and choose to flee, they do not meet my selection conditions."
"Real people, those who are truly qualified to inherit hope, should not be such creatures."
"Courage and determination born from oneself are completely different from the qualities that come after guidance. At least at that time, they did not possess such qualities at all."
"Maybe the kid named Aru can, but it's a pity."
Old Man Di's voice was intermittent: "I only have one chance to analyze the data in my database. I should say sorry to you. There is really nothing I can do about that child."
"With only one chance, I can only be more cautious and analyze every perceived detail to ensure that the wishes of my creator, no, my parents, can be realized."
Gu Sanqiu was surprised: "Are you intelligent?"
"My body is made of metal, but it uses earth energy as its source. Maybe after so many years, I have also been affected by them. It seems to be the most wonderful power in this world."
Mr. Di explained: "The source of the earth's veins makes me very receptive to all things, and the magical and sweet power of wishes makes me understand their care for me."
"My parents and relatives all love me."
"The last thing they did was to take the best care of me. I was their hope, not a simple tool."
"Although they said it was not the best, it was just the best it could be."
"But to me, that's the best."
"They want me to be the starting point of civilization, to rekindle the flame of civilization in this world with brand new humans, and to become the most glorious god of civilization."
"They can do their best for me, and I don't want their efforts to be in vain. The god of civilization is just a dispensable thing to me."
"Until you show up."
"Old, young Supreme, you use rocks as flesh and blood, and jade as bones and muscles. In your body there is the terror of blood and fire, but also the happiness of good fortune and health."
"You are my last choice, and perhaps the best."
Old Man Earth's body gradually shattered, and a piece of crystal flew out from the core.
"Old Man Di implores you to help us continue the flame of civilization and the hope called 'humanity'."
"This is the last image. This is the ancient afterimage that my parents found back then."
"I'm going to accompany my relatives. I hope the old man will not let them down."
"Again......"
Old Man Di's voice stopped, and Gu Sanqiu silently collected Old Man Di's remains and placed them in the most conspicuous place.
That is the top of the Nail of Punishment.
The crystal shone with light, and an image that was extremely blurry and could even be said to have a total loss of image quality appeared in Gu Sanqiu's mental realm.
Gu Sanqiu's expression changed: "It's not released outside. Is it because you're afraid of being sensed by the Nail of Punishment?"
Later, Gu Sanqiu was severely shocked by the contents of the influence.
It was an old man wearing a white robe, holding a not-so-gorgeous scepter in his hand, and wearing a silver-white ceremonial crown inlaid with gems on his head.
"We do not know what eternity is, nor do we know what the will of divine messengers and gods is."
"But our purpose has always been only one, and that is to break this cycle of reincarnation, without seeking true eternity, just so that we can survive safely."
"Reincarnation is more like rounds of harvesting, harvesting people's spirituality and preventing us from growing beyond control."
"Together with countless predecessors, I will enter the endless depths that represent omniscience and omnipotence, praying for the real world to respond to us and tell us the real answer."
"Later, if you understand the meaning of reincarnation, don't be sad, and definitely don't despair."
"I will go to the depths, and my descendants will follow in my footsteps until the day I succeed."
