After running away for a long time, they finally escaped the overwhelming crystal beetles. The exhausted team finally got a short rest.
Everyone was exhausted and sat on the ground gasping for air.
The woman with the enchanting figure looked at the test data and said: "It's not time to rest yet, we have to get the Holy Grail before those bugs fly back."
Everyone looked at each other, and one of them complained: "Sister Lilin, we really can't run anymore, so let us rest for a while."
Lilin glared: "Why don't you take a break! Have you forgotten what we came here for?"
Everyone had no choice but to get up.
But looking at the endless corridor in front of them, everyone seemed desperate.
"Captain, where are we going now?"
After hearing this, Lilin took out a book from behind her and flipped through it before saying, "Let's go to the right."
As he said that, he took the lead and headed to the right.
‘On the right side?’ The person who asked the question glanced at the right side of the corridor. There were all kinds of statues there, and each one was weirder and bigger than the last. Walking inside, you felt like you were being watched by giants.
The team continued to move forward without talking.
After walking like this for about ten minutes, the road ahead suddenly stopped.
Lilin stopped, looked at the endless void below the fracture and said: "Across this fracture area, the end of the endless corridor is ahead, but it is also where the nightmare begins. Are you all ready?"
A group of people behind them flashed their weapons and laughed: "Come on!"
Lilin also smiled. She looked ahead and muttered silently: 'Let's get started...'
But this time, Lilin did not jump over first, but left the opportunity to a few people behind her.
These "desperados" didn't seem to worry about what they were about to face. They even cheered excitedly as they flew over the fracture zone.
In Lilin's opinion, only "desperados" could laugh at this moment.
But what this operation needs are desperadoes, a group of "desperados" who dare to involve the whole world in the frenzy of recovery!
…
"The traces disappeared again?" Xue Ming asked.
The leader of the special task force said: "Well, there is no trace of them, and this place seems to be changing every moment. The worker bees we released before are simply unable to complete the definite exploration work."
Xue Ming had also discovered this a long time ago. After he looked at the believers everywhere in the hall, the uneasiness in his heart became even more magnified.
"Keep going in, I don't believe they can disappear out of thin air." Xue Ming was heartbroken and walked in with a cold face.
The leader of the special task force suddenly stopped Xue Ming and said: "Wait a minute, minister, don't you think the sounds made by these believers are somewhat familiar?"
Xue Ming had paid attention to the sounds made by these believers before, but found nothing.
Now that the leader's words had stopped, Xue Ming couldn't help but wonder: "Familiar? Where have you heard it before?"
The team leader said: "Well... let me think about it... it seems to be in... oh yes! It is in deep space! When I was an arbiter, I participated in several deep space hunting operations, and every time
I can hear it when I go hunting."
Xue Ming was startled when he heard this. After thinking about it for a while, he asked: "Then... what did you find?"
The team leader said: "Not yet, but I remember that some of the team couldn't hear this sound at all, and those who can hear the sound can often more accurately locate the prey during hunting operations."
Xue Ming was a little confused by the team leader's words, but he still remembered them in his heart.
"Well...then think carefully, maybe these new discoveries will help us."
"Okay, I'll pay attention."
…
"This is it. The secret should be under these steps." Bai Jin and others also arrived near the steps, but at this time their team was no longer three people, and there were many arbiters accompanying them.
These people were temporarily assigned by Han Kongwen to Yincheng and Nanyingjian to command.
At first Yincheng refused because he felt that bringing these arbiters was unreliable and would be a burden.
But there was no way to get down without them, so Yincheng had no choice but to agree.
Their team now consists of twenty-five people, and the one leading the team on the Arbiter's side is Ou Shaobai, one of the survivors of Percival's Dome.
He and Yincheng are old acquaintances. They have known each other for a long time, but their friendship is only casual.
"Then let's go down quickly. Maybe they have found the 'secret' you mentioned." Nan Yingjian said and was about to go down.
But Bai Jin stopped her and said: "Hey! Wait! I found a lot of maid statues around here before, two of them were holding a special ball in their hands. I saw that thing in an ancient book before, it was The mechanism for building the secret passage to the royal tomb is located, maybe as long as we unlock their secrets, we can find out the truth one step ahead of time."
Nan Yingjian was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Why haven't I heard you mention it along the way?"
Bai Jin said: "I was busy and forgot about it. Didn't I remember it when I didn't get here?"
This sentence was hard to believe, but Yincheng and Nan Yingjian had a tacit understanding and did not ask any more questions.
Ou Shaobai didn't think as much as Yincheng and the others thought. He heard that there was a shortcut, so he smiled and said: "That's good, let's go take a look first, it won't take too long."
"Well, it's right over here." Bai Jin said and led the way to one side of the platform.
As they walked, Nan Yingjian and Yin Cheng fell to the back of the queue.
Nan Yingjian asked Yincheng quietly: "This Bai Jin... she must be hiding something from me."
Yincheng nodded: "Yes, but now that we have come down, we can only take one step at a time. I really want to know why she deliberately tricked us into coming down."
"What a beautiful 'white lotus', haha." Nan Yingjian glanced at Yincheng.
Yincheng said with some embarrassment: "Uh, cough, hurry up and follow me."
…
"Here, that's it." The group of maid statues is less than 200 meters away from the steps.
They are not on the same building structure as the platform, but are suspended independently in the darkness, which looks a bit weird.
Yincheng took a step forward to see the maid statues clearly and asked with some curiosity: "These maids..."
"They are the silent nuns of Yasin Holy Church. They have been serving the primitive sect on Gaia - Yasin Holy Church since they were born. They have been loyal to Our Lady of Grace and praised Turaya all their lives. They are the saddest in the history of ancient theology. The true form of a believer in color." Bai Jin's words made people quite concerned.
But now Yin Cheng could only listen to half of it and let go of half of it. He no longer trusted Bai Jin at all, so he let her say it.
"Well, it sounds scary, but these statues..." Ou Shaobai took a step forward.
"Based on my research and understanding of ancient theology, it is impossible for the silent girl who has served the Yasin Holy Cult all her life to stay away from the Yasin Holy Church, except for one situation." Bai Jin took out the crystal plate and collected these maid statues. image data, while continuing: "The blessed Virgin Lilith is not the original god of the Yasin Temple. She is the mother of mankind and the founder of the Garden of Eden at the birth. However, Lilith is enshrined in the Yasin Temple. The original altar, and according to the records of Sister Kumo in historical materials - "After the separation of the original body, the blessed Virgin left Yassin, she lit the beacon of life in a distant country, and turned it into a place of refuge. It has become a hotbed of civilization, and the original altar has lost its luster day by day. The punished nuns wander in the darkness, trying to find traces of the departure of the blessed Virgin, and the god they worship is waiting for them in the distance. Their arrival, and only their arrival, can reawaken the favored mistress, revive all things, and bring life to life!'."
After reading this paragraph, everyone present could not help but sigh.
And Yincheng, who had already lost trust in Bai Jin, suddenly felt like he had seen him before.
In fact, this description had already materialized many years ago.
There are various versions of the legends about "Asylum" and "Lilith", but the descriptions are generally the same.
"Lilith" is the original form of human beings and the origin of human civilization. It is not an exaggeration to call her the mother of human beings.
The problem is, most of these versions are vague and general.
There are few systematic records of the origin of "Lilith" and why "Lilith" came to earth.
But the passage Bai Jin just read was different.
Although it is only a few sentences, it tells several key things.
The first thing is that Lilith originated from the Yasin Temple in the records of the ancient theological sect. The second thing is that after leaving the Yasin Temple, Lilith went to a very distant place, where she rekindled the beacon of life, and at the same time turned into a human being.
The hotbed that breeds life, that place should refer to "Earth", and the third thing is about these Kumo nuns who are now appearing in front of everyone. They are the maids of Yasin Temple, serving "Lilith"
However, after "Lilith" left the Yassin Temple, the original altar that originally belonged to "Lilith" was dimmed. These maids were also condemned as sinners. In order to find their master, these maids came to
Walking forward in the darkness, trying to get as close as possible to his master.
After understanding these three key points in this record, it is not difficult to understand why the statues of the Kumo nuns appear here, and at the same time, we can also speculate on their purpose of appearing here.
"You don't want to tell us...that secret...is 'Lilith', right?" Nan Yingjian stopped pretending to be confused. She walked up and asked Bai Jin in a deep voice.
Bai Jin looked back at Nanying Jian, then looked at the statues and said: "Although I am engaged in scientific research, ever since I heard about existences like Luo Shengtian, I have become more and more curious about metaphysics.
It is often said in metaphysics that there is a certain number in the world. If this sentence is not nonsense, then it is not difficult to understand that we humans will find the Gaia star in the wasteland-like King constellation. In addition, the original Prome
Hughes' lost Holy Grail of Life...don't you think this all makes sense?"
"How does it make sense?" Nan Yingjian asked with a smile, and there was a trace of murderous intent in her smile.
Bai Jin saw it clearly, but she still explained: "In our human civilization, all myths and legends have a similar core, such as 'Prometheus' in the Greek legend, and the Kabbalah branch of Jewish doctrine.
and Nuwa in Eastern mythology, they can all be regarded as the starting point of the birth of human civilization, and aren't all these branches specifically called "Lilith"? In my opinion, studying theology is also studying human beings' understanding of their own origins.
One way to think about it is that our science emphasizes real evidence, but after all, the exploration ability of science is still very limited. We can't do it yet, so we can only speculate from a theological perspective. According to the records of "Earth Chronicles", the earliest life form on earth was born.
After a large planetary collision in the Archean Era, the Earth was
The collision was so severe that its fragments were thrown into the universe and eventually turned into the moon. From that moment on, the earth also possessed various elements that gave birth to civilization..."
At this point, Bai Jin stopped. She knew she wanted to give all the audience some time to think.
But not for long.
She paused and said: "But it is determined that this birth point of life is in the middle and late stages of human civilization on earth. So how did our ancestors think that all of this has a common starting point? Just through imagination? I I feel that such an explanation is too far-fetched. If you want me to understand it, I think people must have discovered the commonality between the origins of all things, that is, there is a beginning and an end. All of this has a scale of existence. Since there is a scale, there is a scale. A starting point. Once you have a starting point, you can think and imagine. In the end, this kind of memory that may be rooted in the ancestral DNA of each of us that continues life on earth was discovered in a special way."
After hearing this, Ou Shaobai held his chin and nodded: "Listening to what you said... it seems that this is really the case... But if God really exists, then now... aren't those people trying to wake up God, and then... Holy shit! Could these lunatics be Chu Yunlan’s old subordinates?!"
Bai Jin said nothing, and Yincheng and Nan Yingjian also remained silent.
Seeing that the three of them were silent, Ou Shaobai couldn't help but said nervously: "Um... I guess I guessed it right?"
Yin Cheng shook his head: "It's not that simple, and even if they are Chu Yunlan's people, it is impossible to punish the world by awakening gods. Gods are not their slaves, how can they be at their mercy?"
Ou Shaobai had a different view. He said seriously: "Major, this is not necessarily true. If you think about it, Chu Yunlan had a way to invade the central rappel. Maybe there is really a way to restrain the god now. "
"Clamping God? Haha... It's a joke. If this is a god that can be controlled by just one person, then there's nothing terrible about it." Nan Yingjian couldn't help but complain.
Ou Shaobai was suddenly embarrassed. He laughed and said, "Haha, that's what I said. I can't take it seriously."
However, it was Bai Jin who put forward a completely different view from both of them. She said: "Although it sounds absurd and impossible to let God listen to his mercy, if they have a way to provoke it, or say Would awakening this god itself be an unprecedented disaster?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Bai Jin turned around and pointed at the statues of the Kumo nuns and said: "These statues should have been intentionally left by the ancient civilization that built this underground ruins. They appear on the left and right sides, which correspond to the offerings described in the original altar. There is a record of this in the Old Testament: "The highest form of human beings is the form of the original body. In the form of the original body, people are the transcendent state that is worshiped, and those humble ones will serve on the left and right." , they humbly listen to the truth, perceive light and darkness, understand good and evil, and understand the secrets, but the original body scares them. They can't speak, their eyes can't see directly, and their five senses have faded. The only way to record the transcendent echo is to offer the true knowledge. The head is a brilliant crystal. It shines in the shadows but is dull in the bright places. Only the transcendence of the original body can light it up!'"
Many people present have read this passage.
But most of them didn't have a deep impression. Only Nan Yingjian's eyes changed a few times. The way she looked at Bai Jin now became very dangerous.
Of course Bai Jin knew what the possible outcome would be if she said these words, but she still didn't stop.
She turned around and looked at everyone and continued: "Based on what I just said, 'Lilith' is in the original form, and it can also be regarded as the original form of human beings is the true form of 'Lilith'. In other words, These silent nuns appear here, holding bright crystals that can record transcendent echoes, in order to record the wisdom from the original body, which means...under the steps, there is a god with the "state of the original body" !A true transcendent!"
"Then..." Ou Shaobai was about to say something.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Nan Yingjian took action.
She was only two steps away from Bai Jin. This distance suddenly caused trouble, and even Yin Cheng couldn't avoid it.
Unless Yincheng was on guard from the beginning.
Just as the sharp tip of the knife was about to pierce into Bai Jin's throat, a dark hand suddenly came out of the void and grabbed the tip of the blade.
At the same time, Yincheng also grabbed Nan Yingjian's wrist, but he was still a little slower, and he didn't expect that anyone would stop Nan Yingjian from killing Bai Jin.
The scene in front of me was a bit incomprehensible.
It was clear that Mingming Jin had revealed many key truths that could help the team prevent those lunatics from awakening the "Transcendents", but Nan Yingjian suddenly wanted to kill her.
And that was after she said this.
However, when Nan Yingjian made a move, Yincheng also took action to stop him, but he was a little slower.
What really saved Bai Jin was an uninvited guest who suddenly appeared from the void.
Not only did he easily stop Nan Yingjian's sudden attack, he also pulled Bai Jin into the Void Gate.
Everyone only saw a handsome face hidden under a hood. Before they had time to react, the mysterious man took Bai Jin away.
The sudden turn of events stunned everyone.
Ou Shaobai opened his mouth and was speechless. He looked at Nan Yingjian and then at Yincheng.
After the attack failed, Nan Yingjian said coldly: "Let go."
Yin Cheng let go and asked at the same time: "Xiao Jian, what are you hiding from me?!"
