On the phone, Ding Hanzhen joked: "Xiao Huang, you have become a household name in Daqin this time. The Emperor of Daqin made an exception and granted titles to non-residents. This is a very rare thing..."
Lu Yao talked about "all roads lead to Rome".
The old man's voice suddenly became serious: "Minerva is the think tank among the three main gods of Rome. He has never been a casual publicity style. Now that I have told you this, it seems that this will be announced and displayed to the outside world. It is no longer allowed.
It will be too long.”
"Xiao Huang, you were right not to agree."
Ding Hanzhen said: "The situation in Rome is complicated. They have a tradition of regicide and god-killing. The Romans have always been said to only know bread and competition."
"To put it simply, many of the main gods of Rome were tyrants. The gods would challenge or even assassinate the main gods to seize the position of the main gods. Today, the Pantheon only retains three main gods, not only because of the decline of Rome, but also because of fighting with each other.
"
"The [Colosseum] is the starting point for heroes to become famous, and the [Pantheon] is the place where the gods bleed and fall."
Lu Yao was a little surprised.
Rome has this kind of traditional art, but it is indeed difficult to develop it stably in the long term.
He asked: "Teacher Zao, have these ancient challenges and traditions never changed?"
"It can't change."
Ding Hanzhen said in a deep voice: "It's not that they don't want to, it's that they can't. Because Roman mythology is based on fighting, seizing, and conquering, and their strength also comes from this ubiquitous high-intensity competition."
"In the early days, this naturally allowed them to grow rapidly under high pressure, and then released the pressure outwards, expanding into a huge territory. They suppressed many myths for a time, and even gained a large number of vassal gods and civilizations. But as the times changed,
, Rome could not maintain its absolute lead for a long time, and internal tyrants continued to appear, so decline was inevitable."
"At the same time, the Roman mythological anchorage [Pantheon] needs the blood and death of gods to maintain it. If there is no fighting and competition, Rome will enter its true demise."
The Kitchen God on the other end of the phone said: "[All roads lead to Rome] is actually a law... I think it is very likely to be related to the [Pantheon] and Roman customs. They have to radically start conquests and wars to maintain this."
Regular smooth flow and operation. This may be the prerequisite."
"So I said, it was very wise for you not to promise them. This is a muddy water, and it will be troublesome for anyone who gets involved."
Lu Yao was a little surprised: "Teacher Zao, don't you know that [all roads lead to Rome] is a rule?"
The old man laughed and said, "Do you really think we know everything? You are looking down on us. There is a saying that the essence of human beings is the grass-roots team. We create our own myths and leave history and culture. In fact, we turn this grass-roots team into
Make it bigger and stronger, maintain long-term stability and continuity, and expand the scope and dimensions of human civilization’s radiation.”
Lu Yao couldn't help but complain: "Is it really okay to say this..."
"It's okay, it's a known matter. I'm not a leader, I belong to the masses, so I won't get in the way."
Ding Hanzhen was as unassuming as ever: "But your news is of great help to us and will benefit our subsequent judgment and adjustments. I have to make an emergency report right away."
"Actually, according to the intelligence from the Foreign Affairs Bureau and various information we have collected, the Strategy Bureau has been putting forward a point of view... Although we thought it was outrageous at first, now that we think about it, it is possible."
The old man said: "The Strategic Bureau speculates that the [Virtual Mirror] is not a naturally occurring phenomenon in the universe, but the result of a man-made disaster. Rome is among the list of suspected manufacturers."
"I don't know if these guys are just guessing..."
The Kitchen God said casually.
The more Lu Yao thought about it, the more likely he felt it was.
After the virtual mirror is unfolded, the most profitable ones are currently the Roman myths. They can salvage the world in the virtual mirror like fishing, and use it to replenish the various resources, population and beliefs that are lacking.
From a benefit perspective, this is indeed the case.
I just don't know the specific method.
However, considering that "all roads lead to Rome" can lead directly to the border zone, this is theoretically possible.
Lu Yao asked a question of his own: "Teacher Zao, do other myths also have laws like [all roads lead to Rome]?"
"Well...how should I put it?"
Ding Hanzhen was very cautious this time: "The law itself is a power structure on the side of truth, or a natural law. Human mythology is always exploring further borders, and there are many forgotten people who have entered the side of truth. But even if
Once you have come into contact with the laws, you can only say that you have glimpsed part of them, and it is difficult to master them in the true sense."
"Of course everyone is studying this field, but it is full of difficulties. There is no organization that publicly claims to master the laws... Judging from the current progress, Rome is indeed ahead of all myths. This is also a fact."
Lu Yao understood.
Each mythology is being researched secretly, and each should have its achievements, but this is the first time that Rome is ready to officially announce its application.
Rome's progress this time...it can be said that ancestral glory and opportunity are indispensable.
This is also the only way to go.
The development of gods has entered the main god stage, and if they want to go further, it seems that they cannot avoid exploring the border zone and even the truth side. Although it is a death zone with almost no response, it is also a natural giant treasure house.
…
Lu Yao hung up the phone, took out a small milk pudding from the refrigerator, and ate it slowly.
It is best for you to watch the fire from the other side.
If you are less involved in everything, you will have fewer worries.
He clicked on the music player and selected "The Ordinary Road".
Pu Shu's singing came from the small speaker.
I have crossed mountains and seas~
Also passed through the huge crowds~
…
Lu Yao was eating ice cream and listening to music when he saw a red message pop up on the simulator.
【Warning, warning!】
[Tai Sui is approaching you. For your safety, please try to avoid it as soon as possible. 】
ha?
Did Tai Sui come here again?
Lu Yao remembered that he had left Tai Sui far away and had not paid much attention to it. Anyway, with the title of "Guide", he could locate this eye-catching red danger at any time.
Lu Yao clicked on the prompt bar, and the screen immediately jumped to Yunzhong Temple.
Surrounding the huge white vortex, small worlds slowly rotate around it.
Next to this world group is a huge white bust of Tai Sui.
There is still a hole in the middle of its smooth golden face, like some kind of dark eye cave, slowly staring at the whirlpool world.
Tai Sui's chest was still damaged as if it could not be closed, with a beating red heart inside, and numerous slender tentacles floating in the fractured area below his waist.
It's just that this time there were many injuries and breaks on its body, and black smoke was coming out of its head and back.
Lu Yao was a little stunned.
Tai Sui could be so seriously injured.
Lu Yao took a closer look and noticed that Tai Sui's shoulders, waist and head were all red and burning... It was Chixu, and he was very familiar with it.
Under normal circumstances, Tai Sui will not break into Chi Xu. It has shown the awareness and ability to avoid Chi Xu before.
why is that?
Tai Sui slowly turned his head and looked at the screen.
Lu Yao was so frightened that the little pudding in his hand shook.
what's the situation?
Has Tai Sui awakened?
Or are you looking for food on yourself?
Tai Sui stretched out his broad, flat hand and reached deep into his chest, then grabbed something, slowly opened his fingers, and a cobblestone-like world slowly rose from his hand.
The world floated all the way to the center of the screen.
Lu Yao was stunned.
Are you asking yourself to appraise it or something? Or... are you giving yourself a gift?
Lu Yao clicked to select and view.
…
[Gravel World Unnamed]
【Godhead】: None.
【Divinity】: Tottering (14601).
【divine body】: none (0).
…
Judging from the panel information, it is no different from the many gravel worlds floating in the virtual universe.
The difference lies in appearance.
Lu Yao saw that the surface of the world that Tai Sui placed next to his heart for protection had a layer of white that seemed familiar to him.
Could it be that……
Lu Yao immediately double-clicked to enter the inside of the world and confirmed that what was slowly flowing on its surface was the soil.
But Tai Sui's activities are in the crawling area.
The only place where a large amount of soil is known to exist is "Xu Qiu".
Did Tai Sui fly to the mine?
Lu Yao immediately went to [Wuji King] for confirmation, but [Wuji King] said that he had not seen any trace of Tai Sui.
The Dark Star Lord did give an answer.
[Tai Sui did appear in this area. I was observing it through the dark stars. 】
[However, it did not approach here. It first sneaked into the "Xu Qiu" and then quickly came out and left. 】
Tai Sui salvaged this small world from the sea of soil.
Lu Yao focused his eyes in front of him.
He first used the [Sylvanus Tree] to anchor it, but when he checked its background information records, he only got a blank. In this case, it could only have been deliberately erased.
So, this gravel world has been carefully disguised in some way.
The last time I saw this word, it was when I was dealing with the realm beast [Scavenger] from the Yao world headquarters.
Lu Yao came to this world with Isabel in a yellow armor.
Now he has Xing Tian in his left hand and three soldier spirits in his right hand. Normally, he is not afraid at all.
…
To facilitate movement, Lu Yao and Isabel took magic wands together to overlook the world from the air.
The ground is covered with soil, and the moist clay-like white mud is slowly flowing, and no living creatures can be seen.
In this lifeless world, everything is wrapped in soil, and the divine ability to see is affected.
There was only a blue and black vortex high in the sky, surrounded by a layer of dim flames.
Its name is displayed as [Star Bridge], and the number 14601 is displayed next to it, which is performing some kind of slow countdown.
Lu Yao immediately understood that it was the fire of faith that supported this phenomenon.
He tried to inject the power of faith into it, and sure enough he found that the value kept rising. To be safe, he directly injected 1 million fire of faith, and the flames surrounding the vortex suddenly became bright and blazing, no longer extinguished at any time like before.
Look.
Lu Yao walked into this [Bridge of Stars].
…
The world on the other side of the whirlpool is dark and broken. There are tiny ashes floating in the air, and the entire world is gray. It is more destructive and apocalyptic than before. There are no traces of life on the ground, only gravel and rocks.
As soon as Lu Yao arrived, he heard a huge rumbling sound, and the ground beneath his feet was shaking.
Two blurry shadows appeared in the distance.
Lu Yao raised his eyes and looked up.
They are two pillars standing between the dark clouds and the ground.
They are still moving.
Slowly return to the clouds, slowly fall down, and move forward steadily.
It's like taking some kind of measurement of the ground.
They are huge, but cannot be seen clearly. The light on the surface is blurred and distorted, and only blurry white columns can be seen. Wherever they go, space is deformed, on the ground, in the air, and in the clouds.
Lu Yao could not get any panels from him.
He observed it carefully for a while.
The characteristics displayed by this thing... aren't they the [distorted double slits] that Song Shiyi and the others investigated and tracked?
The Messengers called it [The Shadow of the Transcendent One].
But Lu Yao had another name that impressed him even more.
