Chapter 220: Gate to the Kingdom of God, no one responds

The huge dragon-shaped sculpture stands quietly in the abyss of 8,600 meters under the sea. Its golden pupils seem to be staring at the uninvited guest of the Trieste, with a condescending attitude, like a supreme god.

"Hell, this is definitely not something that human civilization can build!" Caesar was stared at by the huge dragon shadow, which sent chills down his spine, as if he had seen a ghost. For a moment, he even felt that the thing seemed to be a living thing.

of?

"This is a deep sea of ​​more than 8,600 meters. To erect such a huge sculpture in such an extreme environment is 10,000 times more difficult than building a pyramid in ancient Egypt." Chu Zihang also had a look on his face.

Full of astonishment, "And it is such a vivid sculpture, every scale and every claw is extremely detailed. This cannot be depicted by imagination alone. Human beings do not have such craftsmanship. I suspect that this statue was copied. It

It probably restored the appearance of the owner of this area."

"So to figure out who it is, we must first figure out where this place is." Caesar looked at the statue that looked like a god and the huge city at its feet, and said slowly, "Figure out what this place is."

The origin of a city.”

The ancient city stretches as far as the eye can see, occupying everyone's entire field of vision and spanning countless submarine ridges. The sculpture stands on the peak of the ridge in the center of the city, with crimson lava running through the center of the city like a river.

There has never been a city with such an architectural style in the human world, or in other words, human civilization has never reached such a magnificent level. The shadows of the houses are like mountains, and black tiles cover the mountains one after another, and huge chains connect the mountain houses.

, hanging upside down on the chain are soul-calling banners and cyan copper bells. The sea water is like a breeze, swaying the copper bells, and there are sounds of music, like the sighs of the deep sea, sadness and loneliness, which seem to be telling the story of thousands of years of neglect.

past events.

"Look there." Chu Zihang suddenly pointed to somewhere on the ridge ahead, "Does the exposed and shiny part of the mountain there look like a vein of bronze?"

"This city is actually built entirely on bronze mines? This is probably the largest bronze vein in the world, and it is just used as a foundation? What a waste of resources!" Caesar, the son of the Gattuso family, couldn't bear it.

Keep smacking your tongue.

The years have sculpted this city several times, but they have not been able to completely overwhelm its majesty and beauty. Instead, those dilapidated mountain houses and stone pillars reveal a poetry of vicissitudes, and the beauty of nature and craftsmanship are perfectly integrated. The ridges

The edges and corners have been polished and are as sharp as a giant ax that splits the sky. Copper pillars stand towering in all directions of the city, with silver patterns engraved on them, which are obscure and complicated.

Chu Zihang took out a paper and pen, and while staring at the appearance of the underwater city in front of him, he quickly sketched the city on the paper.

"Is it necessary to use a painting?" Caesar asked, "Wouldn't it be more convenient to record it on video and let Norma help analyze it?"

"It's different." Chu Zihang shook his head slightly and answered while drawing the general topography of the city, "The same city may have a thousand looks in the eyes of a thousand people. It may be just a part of the building, or it may be just a part of the building.

It could be a piece of history, or even a civilization. Describing a city is the beginning of understanding a civilization."

The city is divided regionally around the huge sculpture. The wide and vertical roads divide the city into independent sections. There are dilapidated arc-shaped domes that resemble the structure of a theater; there are high-rise buildings covered with algae, and green buildings.

The wild generals buried civilization; there was a high platform similar to a sacrificial altar, and corals grew wildly in the candles... At this point in the painting, Chu Zihang suddenly stopped writing.

"What did you find?" Caesar asked.

"This city has an obvious trunk and roads, with a clear layout, and there are candles holding torches in the sacrificial platform." Chu Zihang said in a low voice, "This shows that this city was probably originally built on land.

It sank into the abyss for some reason."

"I'm not surprised that a city sank to the bottom of the sea. After all, in ancient Greek mythology, Plato's "Dialogues" also described a city that was swallowed up by a great flood and sunk to the bottom of the sea, Atlantis." Chu Zihang continued.

, "But here is an abyss of more than 8,000 meters. What kind of power can sink a great city to such a deep seabed? Moreover, the Atlantis described in "The Dialogue" is already a ruined city.

There are no complete ruins, but the city seems to be quite complete.”

"Especially that weird huge statue." Chu Zihang said, "It was built next to magma and soaked in water with extremely high salinity all year round, but it is as clean as new. There should be no such metal in the world, and those tiny

Plants cover the entire city but bypass that statue alone, which cannot even be explained scientifically."

"Our mission this time is not just exploration. Mere observation cannot kill the embryo." Caesar suggested, "Come up, let's take a closer look at the city?"

"Thirty minutes." Chu Zihang glanced at the dashboard, "Our oxygen reserve is only enough for us to be active for up to half an hour. Looking for an embryo in such a huge city within half an hour is like finding a needle in a haystack. It is recommended that we start from

Enter the main entrance of the city and use the sonar system to search for it."

"But where is the main entrance of this city? We don't even know where the front is." Caesar frowned slightly.

"You can tell by that statue." Chu Zihang looked at the huge dragon-shaped statue and said, "The whole city was built around it, so the center of the city's front should be at the midpoint of its pupils.

In a straight line, visual inspection is right under our feet, at three o'clock."

Caesar looked down in the direction that Chu Zihang guessed, and then he was stunned. The coercion exploded in his mind. The stern and ancient feeling made him almost breathless, because he saw an extremely familiar building.

architecture.

The building stood at their feet. The structure was quite simple. It was supported by two thick pillars, Kasagi and Shimagi. There was also a tunnel inserted between the two pillars. The white rope swayed with the ups and downs of the sea water. The appearance looked like

A torii.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But most ordinary torii gates are painted with vermilion paint and supported by large stone or wooden pillars, but this torii gate in front of you is completely black, with the pillar body

It has the same black luster as the huge sculpture, and what is even more surprising is its height. Even the famous huge torii of Japan's Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in the Kyoto area is only a dozen meters high, and the bird under their feet

The height of the gate is nearly ten times that of the torii gate in front of Inari Taisha Shrine - a torii gate with a height of 100 meters. The shock is indescribable. You can only feel its magnificence by seeing it with your own eyes, just like the kingdom of God.

The Gate to Heaven has stood quietly for thousands of years, waiting for devout visitors from the Kingdom of God to come across endless time.



Above the Xumizuo, the icy sea breeze blew Yuan's childish windbreaker, and his face showed an unprecedented hardness. Crows and Yaksha were sent to their respective positions to make final preparations, leaving only

Under cherry blossoms.

"Sakura, I seem to remember the story you once told Miyamoto Noyuki about the torii gate in the mountains." Minamoto said softly, "You said that the torii gate is a door connecting reality and another world.

Will this door go back to the distant past, like a ghost traveling through time and space?"

"This story was told to me by my master when I first became a ninja. At that time, in order to deceive Miyamoto Noyuki's trust, I changed the master's words a bit." Sakura said, "The master said that he had read a book.

It's called "Kojiki". In the story, because of the betrayal of his younger brother Susanoo, Amaterasu found a cave to hide himself and didn't want to see his younger brother. As a result, the world lost the sun, so the eight million gods thought of a way. They built

He built a high stand and placed all the roosters in the world on the beam. At dawn, all the roosters shouted together, which disturbed Amaterasu. When he pushed away the stone to look, Amaterasu, who was hiding aside,

The warriors swarmed up and pushed the stone away, and the sun rose again in the world, shining brightly. This bracket became the first torii gate in the world."

"So in the records of later generations, the torii gate became the symbol of the entrance to the divine realm. It was to remind visitors that once entering the torii gate, it is equivalent to stepping into the world where 'gods' live. Kind people will see the bright gods.

country, and get the opportunity to be reincarnated and rejoin the secular world; and those who do evil will see the underworld and sink in hell for eternity." Sakura repeated the master's original words.

After a moment of silence, Yuan Zhisheng said: "Do you think those three guys are good people or evil people? Will they be swallowed up by the underworld after they step into the Kingdom of God?"

"I don't know." Sakura shook her head honestly, and then said, "But I think they are not bad in nature, but the real Kingdom of God is definitely different from the legendary one. Mr. Masamune said that the gods have turned into evil spirits.

So that is the kingdom of the devil. In the world of evil spirits, it is difficult for good people to survive."

"It's too late to regret. We have no way back, right?" Yuan Zhisheng said, "Dad said that someone must die. Only by sacrificing some people can more people be saved. If only three lives are used, it can be completely destroyed.

As for the Divine Burial Hall, it seems to be a good deal no matter how you calculate it."

"Young Master..." Sakura paused, "Actually, you don't think this is a good deal in your heart. You should be a kind person, and kind people don't regard life as a transaction."

"No, Sakura." Yuan Zhisheng shook his head, "I have already made up my mind, don't interfere with my determination. Ever since I let the three of them go into the water, I have given up climbing back to the free puddle because I

He is the young head of the Sheqi Ba family. The young head has a firm stance and has things he has to do."

"They have entered the Divine Burial Hall, and the moment of decision has come. This is the war between the Snake Qiba family and the fierce ghosts, and it is also the last battle between humans and gods. I want to end everything here!" Yuan Zhisheng clenched his fists with his nails.

Pierced into the flesh, he was using pain to drive away the last mercy.

"Let Princess Kaguya take action to cut off the communication between the headquarters and the Dieste!"

After giving the last order, Sakura saw Minamoto's childish figure shaking slightly. Even killing Miyamoto Noyuki didn't make him so overwhelmed. This man had never been so tired. He seemed to have his back turned to the one in his dreams.

The road is getting farther and farther, and I am so lonely that I can't even find my soul.



In the central control room of Kassel College, Schneider and Manstein stared at the video data uploaded on the big screen.

They subconsciously held their breath when they saw the Trieste approaching the foot of the huge torii gate, as if they were among them, as sincere visitors, afraid that their breathing would disturb the sleeping gods.

"You saw it too..." Schneider said numbly, his voice hoarse and low.

"Nonsense!" Manstein snapped angrily, "I'm not blind. Can I still see a large screen of more than 100 inches?"

"No, I was doubting my eyes." Schneider shook his head, "Those creatures, those statues, that city and torii gates, those words and carvings... If it weren't for the video sent by our ace commissioners, I would have

I will never believe that such a world still exists in this world. This is definitely the largest dragon relic discovered since the founding of Kassel College. These are priceless cultural relics! They will become a landmark discovery of our dragon civilization and history!

"

"Yes, but... have you carefully observed the sculptures on both sides of the torii gate? They look like a human body and a snake with a tail." Manstein mused, "This image seems to rarely appear in European mythology.

The Chinese Nuwa and White Snake, the Greek Medusa, and the Japanese mermaid have similar structures."

"So this is a brand new discovery. I didn't expect that the mission of blowing up embryos would bring us such amazing information." Schneider lamented.

"Do you still remember? The original task given to the equipment department by the principal was to explore a sunken ship, but now a whole dragon ruins suddenly appeared, and it is so complete... I always feel that this thing is very strange." Manstein looked at it.

He was lost in thought while looking at the picture on the screen, and his eyes suddenly widened in an instant, almost bursting into tears, "Door! Isn't that just a door... It's an unprecedented, huge door!"

His finger pointed at the towering black torii on the screen.

Schneider's face suddenly changed, and a strong fear exploded in his mind, because he surprisingly discovered that he had ignored the "door" thing. Isn't the torii the most distinctive door in Japanese mythology? Damn it, they

I actually saw the door underwater! In the video, the Trieste is heading straight towards the torii, as if it is about to travel to another world.

"Stop! Stop!" Schneider yelled like crazy, regardless of how much burden such a throat scream would bring to his half-dead throat. The fear from eleven years ago filled his mind and made him

Losing his mind, "Drieste! Did you hear that? Return immediately! Xumizuo, recover them! I have ordered you as the chief mission leader to recover them quickly!"

But Schneider's shocking roar was replaced by deathly silence, and no one in the headphones responded.

At this moment, a playful female voice suddenly sounded.
