"The legendary era?" Zhang Hao stood behind the window, quietly overlooking the bustling city below.
Liu Mei and Huang Wentian stood behind Zhang Hao, looking wary. More people in the transformation stage came in one after another, surrounding Zhang Hao.
Liu Mei slowly said: "The legendary era usually refers to the era before there are historical records. In that era, there were no historical records, no writing, and very few remains. The specific time is estimated to be one hundred thousand years ago."
Zhang Hao thought for a while and said: "Based on the harvest from Xuanwu Mountain, we can know that the advanced civilization came to Tianyuan Star 175,000 years ago. There are written records from 100,000 years ago. There is a gap of about 70,000 years in between.
Expect.
What happened in these 70,000 years? That the traces of an advanced civilization were almost completely erased?"
Obviously, no one here could answer this question.
After waiting for a while, Fu Yun, who had just come in, said: "I think only the senior officials of the Holy Land know about this matter, or they may not know about it. Maybe we can ask this person from the Youlong family in three days.
In my previous life and travels as a casual cultivator, I also came into contact with these ancient families. It is said that there are many ancient forces hidden in the Eastern Kunlun Continent and the Morning Earth Continent. They exist as families and only intermarry and marry within.
Contact is almost inaccessible to outsiders.
But these ancient families control huge empires.
In addition, there are also legends that the royal families of the great eastern countries may be descendants of these ancient families. The true nature of the ancient families is hidden in the shadow of the empire.
The rise and fall of great Eastern countries are the secrets of these ancient families' long-term prosperity. They cultivate their descendants in the change of countries.
However, few people believe such legends, so there is almost no spread. I didn’t believe it in the past either.”
Zhang Hao nodded slowly, "If this is the case, some things will make sense. West Kunlun, Wusheng Tianluo Sect, Tianmo Sect, Shaoze Kingdom, Liuli Island did not attack Kunlun Continent, etc., but caused the fertile soil
The reasons for the civil war in the continent and the continent are quite sufficient.
In addition to wanting to unify the surrounding areas and strengthen itself, there is also concern about these ancient existences.
West Kunlun must know about this situation and should also inform the rest of the four parties."
After saying that, Zhang Hao turned to everyone and said: "The guardian family suddenly appeared this time. The dangerous situation is not yet certain. Everyone, please work harder."
At this time, Nan Xiaoyun suddenly spoke, "Mr. Zhang, you said that the other party would not arrive in three days. But now he has entered your dream. This situation is absolutely unusual.
Although we don't have such weird spells, we are all practitioners, and some spells can still be inferred.
It is simply impossible to lock a person at a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers and pull that person into a dream without being noticed by all the surrounding gods.
I have three guesses:
First, the other party obtained Mr. Zhang’s hair, etc., and had abilities similar to a curse.
Second, the other party is nearby, maybe even hidden in the white clouds in front, looking down at us.
Third, our insiders were infiltrated.
Of course, we cannot take these ancient existences lightly. Maybe the other party has some items left over from that... oh... advanced civilization.
But no matter what, the other party will definitely pay a considerable price."
Zhang Hao also gradually came to his senses.
It was indeed too shocking just now, but now that I think about it, it is just as Nan Xiaoyun inferred. If the other party wants to lock a person from a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers and pull him into a dream, in principle, it is impossible to do it.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Hao began to arrange tasks and let everyone explore all possibilities. However, Zhang Hao did not have high hopes for this.
Sure enough, two days passed and nothing was found. The experts consciously conducted an internal review, but still found nothing.
In fact, those who can enter the core of Dayang Group, obtain the spirit of the immortal spirit, and become a true god in the stage of transformation have been reviewed countless times.
As of now, the news that Dayang Group can produce fairy energy has not been leaked; now the outside world only suspects that Dayang Group uses other technologies to replace the effect of fairy spirit.
On the morning of the third day, Dayang Group was very busy, almost putting on lanterns and festoons. I was afraid that others would not know that Dayang Group was welcoming some important person.
This caused great concern.
At noon, a special team of personnel entered Ninghe City, where the headquarters of Dayang Group is located.
These people are really special. They wear almost the same old-fashioned robes, which are somewhat similar to Taoist robes, but they are more rigid than simple.
The clothes were all blue-grey and had a lifeless aura.
Also, the expressions of these people were extremely stiff, as if the whole world owed them money, and they climbed out of the ground to collect the debt.
Finally, these people did not travel by train, but by flying. But they were not flying normally, but stuck to the ground, like ghosts. They stepped lightly, and their figures were dim for a moment, and they were only three feet away.
What's even weirder is that Dayang Group sent Huashen Qi to contact him, wanting to test it out in advance. After the Huashen Qi approached the opponent ten meters, his figure suddenly disappeared, and then inexplicably passed through a distance of about twenty meters and appeared.
On the other side, the 20-meter space in the middle seems to have disappeared.
The person in the transformation stage stood there stupidly, staring blankly at the other party as he continued to move forward, with cold sweat already flowing down his face.
Weird things are scary, but as long as they can be investigated clearly or solved, it's nothing.
Unknown things may be scary, but as long as they can be studied and analyzed, it's okay.
The most frightening thing is this weird, unexplorable, unknown existence.
"A total of 8 people!" Zhang Hao received the telegram from the front, and then stood in front of the gate of Dayang Group's headquarters, waiting quietly. There were hundreds of real gods around, standing quietly around Zhang Hao.
Everyone said nothing and just waited quietly. A heavy atmosphere was spreading, as if they were not welcoming guests, but welcoming patrons.
The oppressive atmosphere, combined with the surrounding lights and colorful decorations, gave the impression of a ghost wedding. If it hadn't been for the fact that it was noon and the sun was shining brightly, the surrounding audience would probably tremble with fear.
Even so, tens of thousands of spectators, reporters, representatives from various parties, and private experts gathered around, all of whom did not dare to take a breath.
Everyone is guessing what kind of power can make Dayang Group so dignified.
You know, Dayang Group dares to challenge the Holy Land. Regardless of whether it is a Holy Land in a land of vast soil or a land of fertile soil, it must discuss with Dayang Group. Dayang Group has never been so dignified.
Unless, several major holy places unite.
Just as everyone was expecting, eight people who seemed to have crawled out of ten thousand year urns 'floated' in front of Zhang Hao. The leader was Xiao Shan.
With Zhang Hao's ability in the current stage of becoming a god, he was unable to capture the traces of the other party's movements. One moment, he saw eight people in the distance, and the next moment they were already close. It seemed to be a magical power, and this magical power has almost become a common name for instinct.
, veteran driver.
The person at the front had a stiff smile on his face, and in a dull voice, he slowly said, "Excuse me."
Zhang Hao's heart suddenly relaxed.
If the other party says "Excuse me" first, you can basically conclude that the other party is not very malicious. Of course, this is only temporary and not absolute; when some bastards kill people, they will bow and say: Sorry, my hands are slippery.
His thoughts changed rapidly, Zhang Hao smiled on the surface, "It's an honor for Dayang Group that senior can come, please come inside."
Xiao Shan nodded slightly, followed Zhang Hao on the right, and walked side by side with Zhang Hao towards the headquarters of Dayang Group.
Zhang Hao felt the surging power around him. It was fake that he wasn't nervous; but he was more curious.
As for Xiao Shan, underneath his seemingly calm appearance, he was also a little excited. He didn't raise his head to observe, but his spiritual consciousness had already enveloped the tall buildings around him.
'Such a tall building has only been seen in leftover picture albums!'
Zhang Hao and Xiao Shan were walking side by side. Next to them was Zhang Hao's secretary, who was introducing the surrounding situation, mainly the situation in the building. He had to find something to say, without being too embarrassed. But he couldn't talk about too far-reaching topics, nor could he say anything important.
The topic, introducing the current situation of the building, is the best.
Xiao Shan listened and nodded slowly.
Using the magic-driven elevator, Zhang Hao, Xiao Shan and others were sent to the top of the building and arrived at the glass-domed observation hall, which is also the highest-standard conference hall. Zhang Hao naturally invited Xiao Shan and others to sit in the east, and the people from Dayang Group sat in the
in the West.
After sitting down and tea being served, Zhang Hao was the first to speak: "Senior, did you use magical powers last time?"
Xiao Shan hesitated and nodded slowly.
Zhang Hao understood at a glance that Xiao Shan had lied. Although this person is rigid, you can see that he hesitated to lie. So, Zhang Hao continued to ask: "May I ask, does this magical power have a name?"
"Hmm...dream...skill."
Judging from your expression, it must be fake!
But it doesn’t matter, what we want is this pit!
A bright smile appeared on Zhang Hao's face, "Then, can Dayang Group use our technology to trade this magical power?"
Xiao Shan twitched the corner of his mouth and finally sighed: "Forget it, I won't go around in circles with you. The dreaming technique is related to our core and cannot be leaked."
When Zhang Hao saw that the other party was about to show off, he immediately asked: "Okay, it's the junior who is reckless. Then I have a few questions. It has been more than nine years, almost ten years, since the development of Dayang Group.
Even if the news of the Fairy Mountain Exploration was made public, it has been half a year.
Why did senior wait until today to come?"
Xiao Shan was stunned for a moment by Zhang Hao's question. The old man has a high level of cultivation and is very authoritative in the family. Who dares to ask him like this! But at this time, he was choked by Zhang Hao's question.
However, as an old antique, Xiao Shan also has his own way of doing things. He said directly and domineeringly: "I am here today, not to negotiate, but to negotiate. We believe that Dayang Group is qualified to become the 13th Guardian Family.
It's just that Dayang Group's existence, management structure, etc. are very unfamiliar to us, so we came here to negotiate.
If Dayang Group can finally become the thirteenth guardian family, we will disclose a lot of information.
If not, then just pretend we didn’t come today.”
Zhang Hao was stunned immediately. Wait, wait, give me time to digest.
By the way, the number 13 is very meaningful.
After a while, Zhang Hao spoke, "I want to know the general situation of the Guardian Family."
"Of course." After Xiao Shan finished speaking, he took out a jade slip and the jade slip gently floated in front of Zhang Hao.
After getting the jade slip, Zhang Hao did not recklessly use his spiritual consciousness to directly detect it. Instead, he first detected a ray of spiritual consciousness and entered the jade slip. This ray of spiritual consciousness was very weak and thin.
This is a method unique to the God Transformation stage. This ray of spiritual consciousness is so weak that it doesn't matter even if it is taken away by the enemy. But such a ray of spiritual consciousness can detect danger.
The spiritual sense quickly sent feedback, and there was no danger. Then Zhang Hao used his spiritual sense to explore the contents of the jade slip.
It sounds troublesome, but it is actually very fast. The moment Zhang Hao received the jade slip, he had already checked the safety situation; then the spirit stone of the transformation stage was inserted into the jade slip.
In an instant, a large amount of information flooded in. There was so much information that if written down, it would probably require a million words, enough to form a grand historical masterpiece. But even so, what is recorded is only a general overview:
It is said that about 145,000 years ago (the specific time cannot be estimated), the remnants of an advanced civilization settled on this planet.
But at that time, this planet was a wilderness. There was no aura here, but the indigenous life growing here was very powerful. Because of the strong gravity, the life here was inherently tough.
In order to resist the strong gravity, even ordinary grass is as hard as wood. Some tall trees are as hard as metal. The animals here are even more amazing, their teeth can easily bite ordinary black steel.
The survivors of advanced civilization had to change the entire planet if they wanted to survive here. They inspired the core of the earth and brought aura to the planet. They released "biomodification drugs" and changed the biological structure of the planet.
However, this change did not happen overnight, but lasted for tens of thousands of years. During these tens of thousands of years, the survivors of advanced civilizations encountered internal and external difficulties.
Inside, it is the news that was obtained from Xuanwu Mountain before. Because of the death of a large number of technical personnel and the constant conflicts between management and the public, the inheritance of science and technology was finally cut off.
As the inheritance of technology was cut off, the high-end equipment of advanced civilizations soon became beyond repair. The civilization began to regress rapidly.
However, the external factors were missed in Xuanwu Mountain. This jade slip gives the external factors.
Local animals, etc., mutated in the aura environment, and monsters... appeared! But at first, monsters had no techniques. However, due to internal fighting among humans, some people began to raise monsters and gave them techniques.
.
Then, it is a typical situation where the monsters have their own skills and the monster clan appears.
Since then, mankind has experienced fifty thousand years of chaos, civilization inheritance, etc., and it has been almost completely cut off. Only some spiritual masters and the settlements they guarded have survived.
During these 50,000 years, the continuous effects of "biomodification drugs" and the tenacity of human life finally defeated the demon clan. The first new land to be completely opened up was the Kunlun Continent.
In this chaos that lasted for tens of thousands of years, many powerful families, holy places, etc. were formed. But after tens of thousands of years, after the long river of time washed away, 12 guardian families and some holy places were finally left.
Great countries, etc. Of course, there are also many holy places that came into existence later.
It took Zhang Hao half an hour to sort out all the information, but he also found many problems.
First of all, this jade slip completely righteousnesses the so-called guardian family and writes many touching stories. For example, when encountering a monster or a powerful monster army attacking, the guardian family stands in front and lets ordinary people
People run for their lives.
Zhang Hao has 12 points of doubts about this. Every family is worthy of suspicion.
Besides, it’s time!
The jade slip says that the time is about 145,000 years. But the countdown in Xuanwu Mountain is 174,665 years!
Instinctively, Zhang Hao believes more in the time in Xuanwu Mountain. But on the other hand, a lot of information in Xuanwu Mountain has been made public, and the other party also gave the data of 145,000 years, which is still at the beginning. This is not an omission, but more
It seems intentional!
Zhang Hao finished reading, thought for a while, and then slowly said, "Senior, can I ask a few questions?"
"certainly."
"First of all, it's time. The time we saw on Xuanwu Mountain is 174,665 years! It was timed by equipment of advanced civilizations, and it should be more accurate."
The stiff smile on Xiao Shan's face seemed to soften a little, "This question is very simple. Because our planet... is slowing down!
According to our records, over the years, our year has lengthened by about one-third; and the day has also lengthened by one-third!
We don’t know the specific reasons. It wasn’t until the information on Xuanwu Mountain was made public that we had an idea. Maybe it’s because... our planet’s lifespan is about to reach its end!
And the reason why we are here now is because we have been doing this for the past six months. Besides, Dayang Group has only been around for nine years, and we also have many internal doubts.
Even now, we have not been able to reach unity internally, but we are still willing to make contact."
Zhang Hao felt a little bit grumpy in his heart. Does it take half a year to make a decision? But then again, for these guardian families with a heritage of more than 100,000 years, half a year...maybe really fast.
As for the issue of 'planet life' and date, Zhang Hao is skeptical.
If time really slows down, then it can only be said that the rotation and revolution of the planet are slowing down. And this can only be caused by external forces.
In just a moment, Zhang Hao had an idea.
The first is rotation. This planet originally had no moon (satellite), but later it got a moon. Under the influence of tidal gravity, the two planets were "gravitational locked" to each other, causing the planet to brake.
Is it orbiting... According to the records of Xuanwu Mountain, there was originally a planet on the periphery of Tianyuan Star, but this planet exploded, the core (moon) was taken away, and became the satellite of Tianyuan Star. This will inevitably destroy the balance of the star system and cause Tianyuan Star
The orbit of revolution moves backward.
And these should all be in the plan of the survivors of that advanced civilization. But those survivors did not expect that their civilization would cut off its inheritance due to various problems, leading to today's ending.
However, Zhang Hao was only guessing about the issues of rotation and revolution. More specifically, astronomers such as Zhao Dahe needed to observe, study, calculate and verify!
Zhang Hao pondered for a moment and then continued to ask: "The inheritance of the guardian family has been more than 100,000 years. But there seems to be no inheritance of science and technology."
Xiao Shan sighed again: "We have thought about this problem. The technology of the once advanced civilization was too advanced for survivors to master.
Based on the analysis of the little data we have left, we believe:
Technicians from advanced civilizations are only responsible for difficult maintenance and research. Ordinary technology is completely handed over to something called a 'computer', which... may be similar to puppet technology.
This leads to a problem. When senior technicians and engineers die, ordinary people are helpless when facing those advanced technologies.
What's more, the monster clan was raging at that time, making the situation even worse.
In more than 100,000 years, many things about us have inevitably changed. For example, words; such as reading, the meaning and pronunciation of words, etc."
Zhang Hao nodded slowly, probably understanding this situation. Even on the Earth in the past, ordinary people were helpless in the face of various technologies, let alone advanced civilization. And if there were too few people, it would be impossible to inherit a huge industrial system.
Then Zhang Hao asked another question: "There should be a lot of items left over by advanced civilizations, and they are difficult to damage. Why can't you almost see them in the Earth Elephant World?"
