The Hall of Revelation is a huge pyramid-shaped stone structure with a towering spire. It is poetically located in the center of the temple's rectangular square. It is engraved with grand cosmic stars and vivid murals, which are mysterious and fascinating.
"Can't open it?"
When Augustus crossed the clearly differentiated Dalam Protoss and Purifier Protoss warriors under the Hall of Revelation and stood between Artanis and Corora Leon, the subtle height was obvious: "Why can't it be opened?"
Long before going to the Ultarian Rift to search for Urna, Augustus had already gone through the battle scenarios related to it many times in his mind, commonly known as cloud playthrough in his mind.
I remember that when Kerrigan and Artanis arrived here in the form of the Queen of Blades, the Hall of Revelation immediately opened.
Using the control variable elimination method, could the problem be that Kerrigan is not here?
But Augustus didn't let Kerrigan come with him this time. Firstly, the queen wanted to stay in Korhal to stabilize the people's hearts. Secondly, she still had the last step to fully absorb the essence of the original split pool.
"Artanis, you said before that only two selected races appear together, and the altar will reveal the way to awaken the sleeping Xel'Naga." Augustus turned to Artanis and said bluntly:
"Is this also saying that if those who arrive here are not the two selected races, then there will be no way to open the Hall of Revelation?"
"I hate solving puzzles." Tychus stared at it for a long time, feeling dizzy in front of his eyes, as if there were two little people fighting above his head.
Tychus has never been good at dealing with old antiques, but as long as he has money, his intelligence is enough to teach himself to become a top archaeologist. But in the past few years, with Augustus and Renault strategizing, this guy has used his brain to make ideas many times.
There are also fewer and fewer.
Only Renault heard this and looked at Artanis, then at Augustus... What could a God's eldest son, a chosen man, mean?
"Your interpretation makes sense..." Artanis also thought about this possibility.
This is a bit subtle.
There are only two races here, humans and protoss. There is always one who is not among the chosen ones, so who is it?
What's even more hurtful is that neither of us might be selected, which would be even harder to say.
The Xel'Naga have never interfered with the progress of human civilization, and humans have never believed that they can be the successors of the Creator. Only the protoss has always regarded itself as the eldest son.
As for their identity as the eldest son of God, their protoss clan is naturally very honored and proud. As the first race to be promoted and supported by the Creator, the protoss prides itself on being the guardian of order and justice in the universe. According to the Xel'Naga
The tradition meticulously fulfills the duty of Dawu teachings to help the weak and those in need.
Then if there are two races that will eventually be promoted to Xel'Naga, as the eldest son, they should at least be at the top of the list.
At least that's what Artanis thinks in his heart.
But this may not be the case. History tells Artanis that before the catastrophe, the Xel'Naga left Aiur because they were too disappointed with the protoss, and then created the Zerg. As for why the Xel'naga were disappointed with the protoss
, the historical truth has long been lost or has been deliberately modeled.
Maybe, the protoss has already been abandoned by the Xel'Naga.
"Zeratul, what do you think about this?" Artanis asked this question to Zeratul, who came with Augustus.
As for the Purifier Protoss side of Coralion, they couldn't come up with any ideas. The intelligent personalities of the main Purifiers came from the warrior class of the ancient Protoss Empire, and they knew nothing about research.
The ancestors were better at fighting.
"I learned that the Xel'Naga have all come to the Protoss and Zerg to teach or transform them." Zeratul said: "These are also the two races that are known to have the closest connection with the Xel'Naga."
"The Xel'Naga had high hopes for the protoss, and perhaps the Zerg as well." He looked around and saw everyone looking at him:
"A respected protector named Zamara told me that they believe that we and the zerg are both experimental products of the Creator. In fact, the Xel'Naga did not create us, but transformed us."
In any case, Zeratul seems to like the atmosphere where everyone is quietly listening to his story.
"Zamara believes that the Xel'Naga also have a life cycle, but their life form is completely incomprehensible to us, and is almost equivalent to eternity. But after all, the Xel'Naga will also grow old and die." He talked eloquently.
:
"But before that, they will choose two races, slowly guide and transform these races, and let them merge into a carrier-to become them."
"Become a Xel'Naga?" When Artanis and others were speechless, Augustus took over Zeratul's words: "That means the Xel'Naga chose protoss and zerg."
Instead of being "seized" and becoming a body that accommodates the Xel'Naga's will, it evolved into them.
In Augustus' view, this is close to the truth. The only difference is that the Xel'Naga will never take the initiative to transform these races, but leave nature alone. They will wait for these races to complete their self-development and self-exploration until they pass through the legacy left in the universe.
The Xel'Naga artifact found in Urna, accepted the guidance of the Xel'Naga, and became a member of the Creator.
The Xel'Naga who have descended from the gods to transform the Zerg have always been the Xel'Naga who followed Amon. From this point on, they have destroyed the Xel'Naga's principle of never interfering with the development of creation.
It seems that Xel'Naga also gave a lot of information to the protoss during the period when El was playing tricks, but he definitely deliberately concealed the part of him that broke the rules.
The information about to be revealed in the Hall of Revelation will guide Artanis and the others to find the truth, and then they will be able to make insinuations and make them realize how big a hole Amon has buried in Kara.
"But I guess there's nothing human about it, right?" Renault complained.
"The Protoss and Zerg are just the two races considered to have the most potential." Zeratul let out a kind chuckle: "That's all."
Speaking of which, the Protoss and the Zerg were the two races favored by the Xel'Naga, and humans were far from prosperous at that time.
But humans actually don't care much about this. They didn't really understand the Xel'Naga until this generation, and they lacked knowledge of these creators, let alone any respect.
"Zergs?" Artanis' adjutant Selendis was the first to be unable to sit still: "The Xel'Naga would actually choose them?"
"A bunch of bed bugs." Tychus originally agreed, but suddenly thought that Augustus also raised a lot of bugs in the palace.
"The Xel'Naga may not have the same concept of good and evil as we do." Augustus added in his mind, but Eamon and Narud are definitely bad things.
The Protoss and Zerg were indeed the originally chosen races, but Augustus knew that Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades who became the Xel'Naga in the original storyline, was human + zerg and had nothing to do with the Protoss.
In other words, among the three races of humans, protoss, and bugs, only the protoss, the eldest son of God, was excluded from the promotion process.
"You mean, we still have to find the zerg now?" Raynor looked at Zeratul and said.
"But how come there are zerg here?" Artanis was silent for a while, but he accepted it calmly: "If there are, how do we find them?"
"I'm afraid that's the case." Zeratul looked at Augustus and blinked.
"We happen to have a few here." Augustus cleared his throat: "To be on the safe side, I will immediately order Swann to send them all here."
"Is it still too late?" Tychus was about to say that we walked for a long time to get here. By the time they arrived, the hybrids had already smashed everything in the temple to pieces.
"Anyway, we can give it a try first." Augustus looked at Artanis and Colorarion and pointed to the sky:
"Maybe we can call for backup."
"Spear of Adun, locate the coordinates immediately, warm up the main cannon, and prepare to penetrate the temple." Artanis immediately understood Augustus' intention.
"There is actually such a trick." Tychus thought for a while, they really didn't know the structure of the temple at the beginning.
After a while, the brightly shining dome in the sky suddenly emitted a deafening roar, and the shining purifying beam fell from the sky, violently shaking the Urna Temple, and a large number of building fragments fell one after another, landing heavily on the ground.
.
A dazzling warp matrix light curtain fell from the sky, and hundreds of Golden Age Templar warriors holding solar battle axes landed on the battlefield. Immediately afterwards, the purifier's teleportation beacon was also launched nearby, and hundreds of purifiers
Sentinels and legionnaires also arrived at the temple.
A few minutes later, the airdrop pod launched from the Tyranid Empire fleet belatedly arrived, but it was not a fully armed Imperial Marine, but a primitive Zerg covered in thick carapace and a semi-mechanically modified Cyber.
Russ Engineering War Zerg.
The most eye-catching one is a huge primitive insect that resembles a theropod dinosaur. It is taller than an ordinary Goliath armed robot, and its eyes exude a dim light.
It is worth noting that this primitive zerg also has a mini version of a green brainworm, shaped like a green caterpillar, lying on its huge head.
When this primitive zerg walked towards Augustus, he also spent some time explaining that these zerg were allies of the Tyranid Empire, and only then did the protoss put down the psychic blades in their hands.
This is not unacceptable to Artanis. Emperor Augustus Mengsk's allies are spread throughout the Koprulu sector, ranging from humans, protoss to zerg.
It would not necessarily be unacceptable to tell Artanis that there was an ancient xel'naga serving Augustus.
"This is Dehaka, a patriarch of the original Zerg tribe." Augustus introduced to Artanis and others:
"This is Cerebrate Alpha, my... right-hand man."
"Yes." The brainworm above Dehaka nodded rather reservedly, said nothing, and continued to remain majestic and mysterious.
In front of the protoss, this guy still looks like a dog.
"Smoke?" Tychus took out a cigar from inside.
"Light it." Brainworm held the cigar in his mouth, motioned Tychus to light it with his eyes, and blew out a puff of smoke:
"The protagonist always makes his final appearance."
"Dehaka, you're a guy who has no talent and can't get up early." Naturally, Renault also knew Dehaka. This primitive zerg kept a clone in the Augustgrad Palace all year round, and also hung out with humans.
Must be quite familiar.
"The Emperor of the Tyran Empire said that there is essence here." Dehaka shrank his paws and balled them up around his waist: "He lied to Dehaka."
"I dare say that here is the most powerful essence in the universe. I am not deceiving you." Augustus naturally gave Dehaka a big picture, but this guy didn't look very smart, but in fact he was
He is so cunning that it is difficult to deceive him.
What Augustus cares most about are the Xel'Naga remains deep in the Urna Temple, and those remains may be able to extract a little bit of the remaining Xel'Naga essence - the key to upgrading ordinary races to become Xel'Naga, a little bit
Xel'Naga essence can revive everything on a planet that has been completely destroyed.
With just a drop of Xel'Naga essence, Dehaka might be able to evolve into Godzilla on the spot.
But this good thing cannot be given away in vain.
"A dirty brainworm!" On the other hand, Selendis made no secret of his disdain for the zerg.
"Nonsense, I take a shower every day." Brainworm argued.
"..." Artanis was silent for a while, and then said to Augustus: "Is this the brain worm you raised? I felt a wave of energy in it that was far beyond ordinary brain worms.
The powerful energy!”
"You star spirits are sometimes not blind sometimes." Brainworm chuckled: "That's right, I am exactly the same."
Fortunately, Augustus was well prepared. This time he also brought the royal brainworm Alpha just in case, and locked it in the prison cell next to Tychus. This guy is a nerd anyway, and he does it every day.
Play video games at home.
In order to eliminate Amon's influence on the zerg, Augustus also transformed it into a primitive brain worm early on.
No matter what, Augustus' habit was to prepare early. Prepare more means, which may not be used, but cannot be left out.
This is his style.
"Go." Augustus ignored this hypocritical brainworm and pointed at it, letting it stand in front of the Hall of Revelation.
"What are you going to do?" The brainworm glanced sideways at Augustus, a little confused. In fact, it didn't know what it was doing.
"I won't go! Dog Emperor, I knew this would be up to no good!"
Unfortunately, it couldn't help it. Since Augustus promised to pay for the essence, Dehaka, who was addicted to the essence, naturally obeyed his words.
Dehaka stretched out his claws to push back the restless Cerebrate, then came to stand side by side with Artanis under the ornate columns of the Hall of Revelation.
In the blink of an eye, a strange change occurred. The swirling and geometric circuits on the surface of the Hall of Revelation suddenly emerged with light, and the magnificent megalithic building slowly rose.
In a blinding flash, the first Hall of Revelation was activated.
It seems that if you want to be recognized by the Hall of Revelation, you still lack the key zerg.
But in the eyes of humans like Augustus and Reno, the Hall of Revelation didn't seem to have any obvious changes other than getting brighter.
"Do you understand?" Augustus asked Brainworm.
"Ah, my brain feels so itchy." The brainworm thought for a moment and said, "This light is really bright."
"I saw..." Only Artanis spoke slowly: "The Xel'Naga are the original existence. They were born in the void. They have a sacred mission: to create life and provide for the endless
Reincarnation escort. When a new universe is born, they will use the incarnation to enter this universe."
"Once the avatar is destroyed, they will be forced back into the void. All along, they have been waiting for us to assemble the Xel'Naga Keystone and come here according to the guidance."
"So Amon should not have his own incarnation." Augustus then said: "Otherwise he would not have to invent his own 'rebirth'."
