There are many automated equipment scattered in the mine, such as conveyor belts, presses, etc. As Lu Zhengkang walked deeper, he also saw mining golems, or mining robots. These abandoned items were similar to the style of Hallownest.
Some of the discrepancies may be technology left over from the civilization before Hallownest.
Lu Zhengkang kept moving towards the top of the mountain. The closer he got to the top of the mountain, the less the light source became and the dimmer the crystal became.
The wind is howling.
Crystals are like cold thorns on wet rocks.
The winding and circuitous passage rises little by little.
After passing the last crystal cluster, light pours in from the narrow hole above the head.
Lu Zhengkang jumped out.
The wind howled.
This is the highest point of Hallownest.
The place is devastated, and half-moon-shaped stone monuments stand upright, like tombstones from the old days.
Through the gaps between these tall stone monuments, you can see crystals extending to the sky.
The stele arches out a great pilgrimage route, passing through the weathered Sun Arch. Step by step, the inscriptions light up, symbols of gods and prayers of believers.
The ice-white light illuminated the visitor's thin body.
Until the pinnacle of the pinnacle.
The radiant statue stands solemnly.
Although it is broken, although it is tilted.
But God’s majesty remains.
Lu Zhengkang scratched the statue with the dream nail, and the dream language was revealed.
"...remember...the light..."
A childish will makes ripples of the mind in the statue. It is very weak, but the vitality is tenacious, making people feel like they are seeing the rising sun.
Radiant is indeed not dead!
Lu Zhengkang was so frightened and angry that he raised the bone nail and planned to destroy the statue.
At this moment, brilliant light shined from the crystal pillar behind the stone tablet, shining on Lu Zhengkang like a spotlight.
In an instant, he was dragged into a dream.
…
dark.
But darkness is not terrible, what is terrible is the darkness that swallows the light.
Lu Zhengkang was walking in a blind world, and the earth under his feet was real, so he strode forward.
He thought he could go on forever.
But he can't.
The power of the void material can withstand the passage of time, but now Lu Zhengkang collapsed from exhaustion.
He felt weak for a long time.
The power of the void is stripped away.
Dream words emerge.
"...the light in the darkness, the key to victory."
Lu Zhengkang lost consciousness briefly, and when he regained consciousness, he found himself sitting on a quiet lake.
The lake reflects the blue sky, the sun is high in the sky, the clouds are floating slightly, and the refreshing breeze carries the fragrance of flowers and plants.
And his own power...the mask, the void matter, all disappeared.
He became a round maintenance bug again.
Lu Zhengkang felt something was wrong and took off the amulet of the Son of Green. Little Green turned into light and flew into the amulet without saying a word.
He took out Worry-Free Melody. This amulet required three amulet slots, but Lu Zhengkang forcibly wore it with two amulet slots, entering a state of amulet overload.
Lu Zhengkang had a premonition that he was going to fight a god. Although he was not afraid, he had to take some protective measures.
According to the rules of the game, the overloaded state of the talisman will double the damage you receive, but there is no chance of survival if you are hit by a god's attack. It is better to gamble your life.
After doing all this, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to look around. It seemed to be the center of a green grassland.
There were a few bugs playing around the lake. They were chasing each other. They fell down and fell into the soft and dense grass. It didn't hurt at all.
These bugs are larger and more wild than the bugs of Hallownest, but their minds appear to be particularly simple.
The surface of the lake trembled slightly, Lu Zhengkang lowered his head, and the mirror-like lake reflected the scene.
In a peaceful world, bugs grow wildly. They are disease-free and painless. They hunt, entertain, think, and let nature take its course.
Intelligent insects gather into societies, form groups, and develop forces. They study the soul, the operation of the world, and explore the mysteries of the world.
In this way, a prosperous civilization based on soul energy developed.
Time passes suddenly.
Soon, the bugs built machines, liberated the labor force, and had more leisure to pursue their dreams. Some bugs wanted to go to the sky, some wanted to go underground, and some bugs simply wanted to pursue the perfect "dream."
.
Those who went to outer space invented rockets, and they saw what the planet looked like.
The success of this matter greatly encouraged the bugs.
They can't wait to go underground to see if there is a kingdom more ancient than the current civilization.
They invented the digging golem and built an efficient transportation system, but what they unearthed were not ruins, but crises buried deep by nature.
Soil, rocks, as well as minerals, metals and crystals, these resources make the bugs excited, so they step up the pace of mining.
However, the good times did not last long, as this planet was enveloped in layers and layers of a dangerous environment that mortals could not bear.
At some point, they dug out the acidic water in the earth's crust. The acidic water burst out and destroyed many buildings and corroded the machinery. However, the bugs acted quickly and blocked the opening before the acidic water fully rose.
They bypass the acidic water layer and dig for savings.
They fully believe that any accidents can be solved.
But they can't.
What was dug out this time was void.
The Kuroshio is released from the constraints of the earth's crust, and the dense fog rises and gathers in the atmosphere, forming a black shell that isolates the starry sky from the earth.
Those who are outside the sky have lost contact with the earth and will lose contact forever.
The arrogant bugs welcome the cold winter.
The vast majority of plants are extinct, food is in short supply, and the insect population is reduced... in short, it is an old-fashioned doomsday story.
After reading this, the lake remained pitch black.
Lu Zhengkang applauded, "It's so interesting."
He already knew the later story from Scarlet Will.
The desperate bugs believed in the remaining light on the earth, so they had gods.
But there is another biggest secret, which is the origin of the dream world.
Maybe it has something to do with the original civilization, maybe it has nothing to do with it, no matter what, the mystery of the dream is hidden.
Rumble.
The earth shook and the lake stirred up waves.
A crystalline peak rises from the prairie horizon.
At the top of the mountain, there was a crystal clear white eye, staring at Lu Zhengkang across the vast distance.
Lu Zhengkang shouted loudly: "You are the Split Light!"
There is no answer, maybe God doesn’t bother to answer, maybe God doesn’t understand the way mortals communicate.
"The story is very good, I enjoyed reading it!" Lu Zhengkang continued to shout, "That's why I came here this time to completely eliminate the radiation! If you block the way, you will be dead!"
Dream talk shows.
"Even after seeing such a fate, I still have a violent heart."
"Mortal arrogance will eventually lead to destruction."
Lu Zhengkang shouted: "Don't say these are useless! I don't care what the world was like before. Maybe you once brought vitality to this world, but now you are blocking the progress of civilization! You should be forgotten!"
Golden light exploded in the pure white pupils, piercing the sky. In an instant, the sky turned into a huge purple-red crystal disk, covering the surrounding areas. The strong light refracted and danced in it, as beautiful as a thunder painting, as brilliant as the doomsday and falling.
Lu Zhengkang laughed: "Very good! Let's have a fight. If I lose, it's up to you. If you lose, you'll just roll into the dust of history!"
