"Looking at the time now, they should have found the Holy Grail of Life." Lan Ya suddenly said.
Just at this time, Mr. and Mei Rui had just returned to the main hall.
After hearing this, everyone was silent. Only the gentleman spoke: "It is not difficult to find the Holy Grail of Life. The real challenge lies in how to let our original soldiers enter the bottom of the ruins and donate to the blessed Virgin Mary 'Lilith'."
life."
Zhang Yi heard this and said: "Those alien species have begun to try to break through the guards outside the ruins gate. I believe it won't be long before the obstacles outside will be cleared away."
The gentleman nodded, then looked at Xue Yi and Wei Yining and said: "It was Han Kongwen who introduced you to help Hong Yan get rid of the past. Now that Hong Yan's internal purification has been completed, you two can leave the round table and return to your home.
A place I really want to go.”
After Xue Yi and Wei Yining looked at each other, Xue Yi said, "Sir, are you trying to drive us away?"
The teacher smiled when he heard this: "No, no, no, you are one of my most proud students. Having you join the Crane Round Table has also injected a lot of vitality into the advancement of our plan, but now the plan has reached the end of its execution.
stage, once the Holy Grail of Life is reawakened, the power of life that has been dormant deep in the Gaia Star will be completely awakened under the catalysis of factors. By then, life will become something more terrifying than death, so... go home
Well, not only you, but all of you can go home, go back to your relatives, and cherish this last time."
Everyone looked at each other in shock when they heard this, but no one got up and left.
Xue Yi said: "Sir, actually when I first met you, I was extremely disgusted with you and your plan. The reason Yi Ning and I were willing to join was entirely out of obedience to the absolute order, but later
… As I learned more and more secrets about Gaia, the origins of us humans on Gaia, and the future of Gaia, I began to realize that Yi Ning and I were not just there to execute orders.
, but exists for a more grand vision.”
The gentleman smiled and said nothing, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Especially Zhang Yi, he looked at Xue Yi and said: "Sir, we follow you not because our thoughts are deformed and distorted, but because we truly understand the core essence of this great plan. On the road of evolution, some people are destined to
To bear the infamy of sinners, these people cannot be bound by the existing system. They are destined to be lonely, and I am enjoying this loneliness now. Therefore, please do not issue an eviction order again. None of us will leave Heaven.
A round table car."
After hearing this, the gentleman looked at the people in front of the overhead crane round table and said, "You...really don't want to go back?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Wei Yining looked at Xue Yi and said softly: "I have gone home."
The same goes for Xue Yi. He looked at Wei Yining lovingly, held her hand tightly and said, "Well, me too."
The young couple spread dog food on the spot and really tortured other "singles".
Meili rolled her eyes and said, "Hey, hey, why are you suddenly showing your loyalty? Can you please stop making the atmosphere so depressing?"
Wei Yining's pretty face turned red and she quickly retracted her hand.
Xue Yi was also a little embarrassed.
After Lan Ya glanced at the young couple, she asked her husband, "Sir, what will happen next after Gaia is awakened?"
The gentleman was still standing. He looked at the forest outside the hall and said, "There are only two choices left... evolve, or perish."
Lan Zai understood, she nodded, then suddenly stood up and said: "I still have people I want to see, so I'll excuse you now." After that, Lan Zai walked straight out of the main hall.
Faced with Lan Ya's sudden departure, everyone in front of the Tianche Round Table seemed a little confused and embarrassed.
Especially Zhang Yi, he had just expressed his loyalty, but he didn't expect that Lan Gu would immediately demolish him.
The husband did not stop Lan Mou, and no one else would stand up and let Lan Mou stay.
Her steps were light and her eyes were full of expectation and joy.
At that moment, Lan Ya seemed to have gone back decades ago, to the days before she started this "sinful journey".
Lan Ya left, and there was another empty seat in front of the round table.
The gentleman walked to Lan Ya's seat and looked at the emblem in front of her with "eoia" engraved on it.
In the Dead Sea Scrolls, it means "gestation".
The gentleman raised his hand to erase the mark on the emblem, then looked at the man beside Lan Ya who had been silent from beginning to end and said, "Are you really not planning to go back to accompany her?"
The silent man looked up at the emblem engraved with "i" in front of him and said: "To the mother and daughter, I no longer exist. In this case, why should I bother them."
The husband nodded, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "I'll have a drink with you later."
The man smiled: "Okay."
Continuing to move forward, Mr. Wei arrived between Wei Yining and Xue Yi.
The two looked at Mr. with some doubts.
The husband said: "Actually... when Han Kongwen brought you to me, I originally planned to refuse. Do you know why?"
Xue Yi and Wei Yining looked at each other and asked in unison: "Why?"
The gentleman smiled slightly: "One of you is a senior executive of the Arbiter, and the other is the shining star of the Interstellar Army. It stands to reason that your future life will be a long journey, but once you join this plan, not only will your future be ruined,
In one day, it is impossible for you to gain the understanding and approval of your respective family members and friends, so... I asked Han Kongwen why I had to choose you?"
Xue Yi didn't really care about this, especially now. He asked, "How did Ms. Han answer at that time?"
After recalling it, the gentleman said...
…
"Why were they chosen?"
"There's no reason. I just fancy their abilities."
"There are many capable people, but these two are so special, so aren't you worried that something will go wrong?"
"Is it that you don't have confidence in the person I selected, or that you don't have confidence in the plan itself, or in yourself?"
The husband understood: "I understand. I believe in your vision, but it is limited to these two people. I will not accept any more students in the future."
"Well, I don't plan to continue recommending you. Besides...if they want to go home in the future, you must let them come back."
"Um."
…
Um...so isn't it the same as not saying anything?
Xue Yi and Wei Yining were a little speechless.
But the husband laughed: "Actually, I thought about Han Kongwen's words carefully later, and then I understood what she meant."
"Um?"
"She chose you two as a test for me. If I fail to make you willing to pay, then this plan is not worth investing more in. Therefore, you are both gold and touchstone."
After saying this, Xue Yi and Wei Yining understood.
They looked at each other and smiled and said: "Sir, you are highly praised. It is our honor to be your teacher and to be taught by you."
But the husband smiled and shook his head and said: "I am just a guide. What can make you get where you are today is that your inner spiritual awareness is high enough."
After that, sir, continue walking forward.
When he arrived at Qi Pingyu's side, the gentleman stopped again and said, "You can take a rest."
Qi Pingyu couldn't help but blush when he heard this. He nodded, then stood up and said, "Sir, I want to go back to be with my lover, is that okay?"
The gentleman did not stop me.
Qi Pingyu also left, and there was another vacant seat in front of the round table on the crane.
The husband also talked to the remaining people one by one, and it felt like he was saying goodbye to them.
Only Meili, she was sitting there minding her own business from the beginning, playing AR novels, seemingly not caring about what would happen next.
When two more people left, there were only nine people left in front of the round table.
The gentleman said: "It is my honor to be here with you all. I hope the moon sets in the west and dawn finally comes! Everyone, please drink this cup together!"
Nine golden wine glasses rose up on the round table. The colors of the wine were different. Some were blood red, some were crystal clear, and some had nothing in the glass.
But everyone picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp.
The final contract was reached, the round table of the crane slowly rotated, those that were misaligned began to overlap, and those that were in chaos began to rebuild order...
The husband finally walked to his seat and sat down.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, waiting quietly for the final moment to arrive!
…
Flahaya steppe.
The window period has ended, and the initial exploration plan has been completely shelved.
Nan Yingjian, who was guarding the edge of the grassland, looked at the growing number of alien species and couldn't help but wonder: "What are these guys going to do? Isn't the window period over?"
Yincheng also discovered this problem. He said: "Maybe their goal from the beginning was not to pass through that misplaced corridor!"
"Then what is their goal?"
"Holy Grail of Life." A voice suddenly broke into Yincheng and Nan Yingjian's private frequency band.
Yin Cheng was stunned: "Bai Jin?! How did you suddenly break into our private frequency band?"
Bai Jin did not explain, she only said: "Don't you really want to know the truth? Now, I will tell you everything I know."
Yincheng was silent, and Nan Yingjian asked: "What did you just say? What is the 'Holy Grail of Life'?"
Bai Jin did not answer Nan Yingjian's question. She said to herself: "Ten thousand years ago, when the Quantum Origin just arrived in the King's Galaxy, "Prometheus" was the navigator and the origin of the new era of mankind.
It turns out that this is a dead galaxy that was once full of vigorous vitality, but is now a barren and dead galaxy. The terrestrial planets in the first few star systems that were initially identified for the rekindling of human civilization have completely withered and turned into a barren land. Therefore,
The originator "Prometheus" was very desperate at that time."
This was the first time for Yincheng and Nan Yingjian to hear about these things.
Nan Yingjian asked: "Where is the evidence?"
Bai Jin didn't say much, and immediately shared an interstellar exploration report conducted by the Supreme Academy of Sciences and the Interstellar Army.
This report was produced a year ago, and the entire report covers a time span of nearly fifteen years.
For fifteen years, the Supreme Academy of Sciences has been exploring the Throne Galaxy with the help of the interstellar army and the power of the curvature engine.
From the report, Yincheng can clearly see how many explorations the Supreme Academy of Sciences has conducted in total, and where the furthest exploration has reached...
The data is detailed and the results are clear.
Taking Gaia as the starting point, the largest exploration record is the planet Xiangxiang 31, which is 153,500 light-years away from Gaia. Like Gaia, it is in a star system on the edge of the Throne Galaxy.
of a near-Earth planet.
The exploration equipment is a constant-power unmanned exploration spacecraft with twelve sets of curvature engines. It is also Taiwan’s exploration spacecraft carrying a quantum harmonic communication device.
Judging from the exploration images it fed back, Xiangsu 31 was once considered the most promising place to become the next habitation of mankind.
As early as 70,000 years ago, the Earth-like planet was turned into a withered walnut in the glare of stars. Not only was the planet's structure riddled with holes, but there was no water left in the ocean that once covered 60% of the planet's area.
…
"Where did you get these data?" Nan Yingjian asked.
Bai Jin said: "Although the Supreme Academy of Sciences has been concealing these truths, once the secrets are preserved, they will be discovered sooner or later. Moreover, what you should be concerned about is the truth itself, not where I obtained this information."
After being choked, Nan Yingjian surprisingly did not refute. Instead, she asked calmly: "Okay, keep talking."
Bai Jin continued: "I guess you all know what happened next. "Prometheus" piloted the Quantum Origin to find a place for human beings in the Throne Galaxy, and finally found the old man. But
But the Gaia star still has the power of life... Next, "Prometheus" dropped the 'factor bomb' used to destroy a civilization system, and followed the Quantum Origin into the interstellar orbit of the Gaia star and was mysteriously...
Power' shot down and fell into the ancient ocean... The originator "Prometheus" who luckily escaped with his life thought that he could rekindle the fire of human civilization with the Holy Grail of Life, but the Holy Grail of Life was also stolen...
"
"Stolen? Are you sure?"
"The ancient books in the temple ruins record these things in detail, and some of the contents were verified by research a few years ago." Bai Jin's tone was calm.
Nan Yingjian still found it unbelievable, and she asked: "If things are really as you said, the Holy Grail of Life has been lost long ago, what about us? How were we born?"
"Turaya!" Bai Jin said a "taboo word".
Nanying Jian and Yincheng were both shocked when they heard this.
"Based on itself, 'Prometheus' created An You and Yang Yurong. One represents order and the other yearns for freedom. In other words... in fact... we all later used 'Prometheus' as a model
, created with the help of Turaya, we are not earthlings in the true sense, but an... almost deformed life form."
After hearing what Bai Jin said, Nan Yingjian and Yin Cheng found it difficult to accept it.
It would be easier to accept that "Prometheus" finally recovered the Holy Grail of Life and used the seed of life stored in the Holy Grail to rekindle the light of human civilization, but the collapse of this ethical outlook is really a bit unsettling.
too suddenly.
"How to prove that what you are telling is the truth?" This time it was Yincheng who asked.
Bai Jin said: "I have no concrete evidence this time. In fact, not all the things recorded in ancient books are true. It still contains a lot of speculation. In order to confirm these speculations, the best way is to visit the Quantum Origin.
And retrieve the lost Holy Grail of Life! If the Holy Grail of Life inside the Quantum Origin was indeed destroyed when the Quantum Origin crashed, and the Seed of Life in the stolen Holy Grail of Life is still there, it proves that I just
Everything you say is true.”
Nan Yingjian understood. She sneered and said, "You've been making trouble for a long time, but you're still making unconfirmed conjectures?"
Bai Jin said seriously: "Don't sneer in a hurry. In fact, conjecture has provided us with a clear direction. We have also started to find evidence through archaeological exploration a long time ago. One of them you should all know, that is
The disappearance of Professor Shen Sunian."
"Haha... I really don't know much about this matter. I just learned from Yincheng that the survivor found some time ago was Shen Sunian during the recent attack on the base." Nan Yingjian told the truth.
She has been busy guarding the border these years, and a lot of things have happened in the meantime. She has no time to care about the disappearance of an archaeologist.
Besides, the author didn’t write it, so it’s normal not to know.
Bai Jin was speechless and asked: "Then you haven't experienced anything weird in the past few years on the border? How do I remember that the supreme leader suddenly led the excavation team into the base of the Border Defense Force?"
This matter is really not a secret. After all, all the major domes sent troops to support the border defense forces at that time, and basically everyone knew it.
But few people know the secret behind this incident.
Even Yincheng, who has the strongest relationship with Nan Yingjian, still doesn't know what Nan Yingjian went through in that deep pit.
Nan Yingjian noticed that Bai Jin started to deliberately introduce the topic to her and immediately changed the conversation: "Okay, okay, I am ignorant, can you continue?"
Yincheng originally planned to ask a question, but was interrupted by this and stopped talking.
Bai Jin managed his emotions and continued: "If our conjecture is correct, then who stole the Holy Grail of Life, why was it stolen, where is it now, and those who are behind the scenes are preparing to use the factors to do something
Something can be connected together.”
"Connect them together?" Nan Yingjian felt that her brain was a little exhausted.
Bai Jin has already prepared the combing diagram in advance.
She said: "I collected all the major and minor events in the world in the past few years since Victory Day and sorted them out in the calculation core, and initially came up with two possibilities."
As she spoke, she showed the first combing result.
"The first possibility is that the arrival of Victory Day does not mean that we have ushered in the long-lost peace and stability. On the contrary, Victory Day exists for a certain purpose. When the world pattern is redefined, supernatural beings, humans and gods
After the Qi clan has become increasingly close to each other, our investment in social humanities and basic sciences has shown no signs of post-war recovery. Basically, these existing policies still have the main goal of maintaining order!"
