Seeing those runes, Hao Ren seemed to have a flash of lightning in his heart. It seemed that many clues that were originally scattered or lacked credibility suddenly became clear and orderly, and were supported by real facts.
The ancient magic empire of the Tower and the rebellion of the God-killing race at the Gate of Sulun were connected across hundreds of millions of light-years, and the two civilizations with a huge gap in strength were drawn into the same vortex by these runes.
"The magic emperors of Horleta have received the knowledge inheritance of the God-Slayer." At this moment, this sentence is no longer a guess, but a proven fact, and that evidence is engraved on the wall.
"...It is the rune technology of the 'Nizi'," the data terminal immediately found the record from the database. "Although the material of this ruins cannot be compared with the interstellar alloy of the God-killing race, the power of these runes is
They actually blocked the energy explosion happening here, so the hall outside is so complete."
"Is this evidence of guilt..." Vivian whispered, "Now the Magic Emperor is really inseparable from the God-killing incident."
"The clues have long been that the ancient magic emperor obtained the technology to create 'god-like creatures' from the god-killing traitor. The price was to remain silent when the goddess was assassinated. They used this technology to create a powerful demon hunter, but they
Before he could apply it to himself, he was wiped off the planet by the furious eldest son," Hao Ren said, shaking his head, "Now I just found the evidence."
Lily blinked her eyes, looked at Hao Ren and then at the runes on the wall. Her ears twitched: "But I always feel like something is wrong."
"What did you think of again?" Vivian immediately turned to look at her: the husky girl has keen intuition, and she can always notice details that are easily overlooked. This is something that even the most arrogant ancient vampire cannot do.
deny.
"Didn't I say it before," Lily crossed her arms, "The ancient magic emperors created demon hunters (ancient species) on the premise of maintaining their devout faith in the goddess. Doesn't that rule out that they once turned to killing gods?
The suspect is the suspect."
Hao Ren and Vivian nodded at the same time. This was indeed a contradiction, but if we accept this inference, the runes in front of us cannot be explained.
After talking about this contradiction, Lily pointed to the corpses lying on the ground. They died ten thousand years ago, but in this place where time once stood still, their death was only a few days ago: "And
These Holleta people, no matter how powerful they are, are just a civilization struggling on their own planet. How can their incredible abilities help the God-killing race? Why would the God-killing race use this level of technology?
Teach them to these people? The technology of artificial humans is not that exaggerated, but these runes are very sophisticated even if they are placed in the hands of a god-killing race, right?"
Hao Ren pinched his forehead, knowing in his heart that what Lily was talking about was indeed a bigger doubt, and it was something he had only noticed not long ago.
At the beginning, his knowledge was not that high. After finding out that the ancient magical civilization in Horleta might be involved in the God-killing War, he did not have any doubts about it. However, as he came into contact with more and more
In those areas beyond the cognition of mortals, he gradually realized how grand and terrible the God-killing War was, and how powerful both sides in the war possessed beyond their limits. He gradually came to understand Horleta.
The fact that this small planet on the border of civilization could be involved in the God-killing War has aroused doubts: even if the Magic Empire was far more powerful than it is today, it was just a preliminary civilized civilization that could colonize its own planetary system. They had
Qualified to play a role in the overall conspiracy?
Hao Ren now knows how huge the level gap is between the ancient civilization of Horleta and the God Killers. At first, he thought that the latter was trying to prevent the former from responding to the goddess of creation's call for help, so he wooed it and carried out technical bribes.
, but now this conjecture has become increasingly untenable. There is no need for those powerful god-killers to have such "high regard" for the backward civilization in this fringe area. There is sufficient evidence for this: those in the universe who have not responded to the call of the goddess
There are countless civilizations, and Hao Ren has found the remains of some of them. However, there is no evidence that the god-killing race has ever "wooed" or "bribed" these civilizations.
And these civilizations are basically more powerful than Horleta back then.
Hao Ren raised his head and exchanged glances with Vivian. He saw the same confusion in the other person's eyes.
"Perhaps the elf who uses the holy flame can give us some answers after he wakes up." Vivian said.
She did not directly address the opponent as "Demon Hunter" or "Ancient Species" because the opponent did not look like a test subject coming out of a culture tank, and his elven characteristics clearly did not resemble a Demon Hunter. That Saint
Perhaps Homura's power was just a by-product of the magic emperors' attempts to fuse the "power of god" into ordinary races. Perhaps it was this imperfect technology that caused the elf to go crazy.
But everything is just speculation at the moment, and we still have to wait until the elf wakes up and can communicate before we can figure out the situation.
Next, Hao Ren and the data terminal carefully checked the situation in this hall to try to find more clues.
It can be confirmed that the direct cause of the abandonment of this experimental base was the big explosion that occurred in the central laboratory. The big explosion instantly destroyed the central laboratory and killed everyone inside, but the power of the explosion did not spread to the outside:
The "divine power" runes engraved on the walls of the laboratory blocked the shock wave, allowing the base's outer perimeter to survive. After being aware of the accident, the people in the outer area did not try to open the door to the inner area to recover the losses. Perhaps they used some kind of
Surveillance methods confirmed that the central laboratory was completely destroyed and had no saving value. Perhaps they were worried that the rampaging "monsters" in the laboratory would be uncontrollable. In short, they chose to abandon the place and seal it permanently, and then rescued it with them.
The information was used somewhere else to complete the research on ancient species and synthesize the first batch of "perfect creatures".
The cause of the explosion should be the rampage of the "Incarnation of Holy Flame".
In the pile of molten pedestal remains in the center of the hall, Hao Ren found a twisted metal bracelet. The bracelet was made of thin and winding vine-like alloy wires, with an obvious Elven style. Soon he found
Another bracelet was found on the comatose elf, which can prove that the pedestal in the center of the laboratory was indeed prepared for that elf.
Probably because the bracelet was carried by the elf himself, it escaped the impact of the energy runaway and was not completely damaged.
While examining these clues, Vivian asked a question: "Why do you think time here has stood still for ten thousand years?"
Vivian reminded Hao Ren of this question that he had almost forgotten.
The ancient magic empire did not have the ability to control time, or in other words, it was not able to stop a ruin for ten thousand years.
Time and space magic is not uncommon on this planet. In fact, even Heimer has one or two magics such as "time plus" or "condensation", but even they themselves never think that these magics are truly controlled.
The power of time. Most of them regard this kind of magic as a small-scale, temporary force field spell, which achieves the effect of simulating the addition or subtraction of time by interfering with the material movement in the casting area. In the ancient magic empire, time and space
Spell-like spells are more powerful, but they do not fall into the category of "false simulation".
No one on this planet has truly touched the truth of the passage of time.
"Maybe it has something to do with these runes?" Hao Ren frowned and looked at the densely packed divine runes on the wall, "The god-killing race should have this ability. At least it can only bind a small experimental base.
It shouldn’t be too difficult for them.”
"It's also possible that the energy explosion distorted the space-time structure here," the data terminal also participated in the discussion. "Judging from the density of runes on the wall, there must have been very powerful energy gathered in this room back then. Maybe the entire Dark Mountain Range
All ancient facilities serve this laboratory. If all this energy is gathered into one point and then explodes instantly, it may indeed lead to distortion of time and space, and the blocking and compression effects of the surrounding runes will amplify the process again.
.”
Hao Ren frowned. All guesses were just guesses. A bold assumption must be carefully verified before proceeding. He instinctively felt that there must be something undiscovered here, perhaps buried under the molten and deformed ruins.
He thought of the note he found in the external laboratory and the various words on it.
Oracle...divine cells...fusion...
It is impossible for the Holleta people to create divine cells out of thin air. For mortals, the mortal power of "divine power" must have a carrier in order for them to perceive and control it. How did the original oracle and divine power fall into the hands of the ancient magic emperor?
inner?
What "medium" do they use to absorb those great powers, infuse them into biological cells, and "make" them into "products"?
If this is the original testing ground for the Demon Hunter or the "Perfect Creature Project", then there must be the original source of divine power here! That is the energy source of the entire project!
The source of this divine power should be in this central laboratory. The people who escaped from this base used the divine cells they produced to complete follow-up research. They had no chance to take away the things in the central laboratory even if the big explosion destroyed this place.
Of everything, as a carrier of divine power, that "energy source" should also have some fragments left, right?
"Look quickly, there should be an energy source here," Hao Ren immediately ordered, "If they want to create the first divine cells, they must have a divine energy source. They cannot create divine power out of thin air. That energy must be
Put in a container..."
Vivian was startled for a moment: "Maybe it has exploded..."
"But there won't be any fragments left, it is a carrier of divine power after all!"
Everyone immediately got busy and began to rummage under the charred and deformed ruins for any material fragments that looked suspicious and beyond the level of ancient civilization. But just as they started to rummage, a high-level knight who was staying outside to guard suddenly suddenly
Ran in.
"My Lord!" the knight shouted in panic, "She's awake! She's awake!"
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment before he realized that the "Incarnation of Holy Flame" the other party was talking about had awakened.
Vivian noticed that the flustered knight had a strange expression on his face, so she asked, "Did she speak after she woke up?"
"Yes...yes!" The knight nodded vigorously, with an incredible expression on his face, "She said...she said she was Lorissa!"
