Chapter 1127 Lost History
"Is this Yangshen Star?" Dabao looked around.
After Liu Xiaoxiao's travel group stayed in the vast continent for a while, they finally set foot on the next stop, Yangshen Star.
"This is Yangshen Star, one of the sacred places, the Lost Ancient City," Liu Xiaoxiao introduced. "Yangshen Star is a high-energy plane. It's been hundreds of thousands of years since Rong Nianbing single-handedly pacified the situation in Yangshen and ascended to the divine realm. Over these hundreds of thousands of years, the Yangshen Continent has been exploring ancient technology while developing modern magical technology. Space travel and interstellar colonization have long been possible, and there are many god-level and true god-level powerhouses, even quite a few super-god-level powerhouses.
"This planet is the home planet of the Yangshen Alliance. It is primarily divided into the Yangon Region, the Lost Region, the Divine Human Region, and four other regions. Some of these regions are made up of man-made islands, while others are formed by the resurfacing of ancient sunken continents. The four ancient empires of Bingyue, Aolan, Huarong, and Langmu have long since ceased to exist in name only, ruled by the Yangshen Council. Publicly, the Yangshen Alliance's greatest power is the Ice God Tower, followed by the Lost Ancient City, Lanmeng Academy, the Magicians' Guild, the Mercenaries' Guild, and the Warriors' Guild. However, in reality, the world is secretly controlled by the Blood Lion Cult. They operate in secret, repeatedly thwarting the attempts of the universe's evil guests to target the Yangshen Alliance.
"The Lost Ancient City we're in is the center of the Lost Region. It was the first city rebuilt after the Lost Continent's civilization was destroyed, with the help of the people of Yangon. It's also a holy city for the dwarves and elves. The dwarven craftsmen possess the bloodline of the God King Giants, inherited from even older times, and are capable of forging pseudo-super artifacts. The Yang God Alliance probably has more pseudo-super artifacts than our Eternal Realm, at least for now."
Dabao looked around and said, "What ancient city? Why does it feel like this place is more advanced than Mingdu?"
"Because the ancient city was named hundreds of thousands of years ago, and back then there wasn't really any city at all, no relics to protect, so there was certainly no need to restore its ancient charm." Liu Xiaoxiao spread his hands and made exaggerated gestures. "How could an interstellar metropolis that has developed for hundreds of thousands of years lag behind a civilization that hasn't even entered space yet?"
"It seems everyone here cultivates both magic and martial arts." Little Fatty observed carefully for a while. "The adult warriors are at least fighters, and the magicians are at least great magicians. Most of them are wizards, which is quite a high level. Many even have their acupoints opened."
"After all, this planet created true gods through the most advanced biological technology in an era even more distant than the Lost Empire. It is not difficult to adjust the human body's absorption of innate energy through genetic technology." He Qiang pushed his glasses on his nose and adjusted its settings to collect data.
"There are also some reports that a research institute in the God-Rising Alliance is reversing ancient biotechnology in an attempt to restart the mass production of true gods. I just don't know whether it is true or not." Liu Xiaoxiao turned to talk about the gossip he had heard.
Of course, this is more like a conspiracy theory.
"Whether it is true or not, you will know it by seeing it with your own eyes." At this moment, a figure came from a distance. It was Rong Lingji.
"You're finally here." Liu Xiaoxiao smiled. "I was surprised to hear that there were clues so quickly."
"This planet was a very prosperous civilization in ancient times, or in the pre-lost era, so it's not surprising that there are records of it," Rong Lingji said. "According to archaeological evidence, this planet has experienced more than one major destruction. The ancient materials recorded in ancient ruins are even older, and among them are civilizations that once flourished in the universe."
Liu Xiaoxiao shook his body and split into two. "Only He Qiang and I will go to see it. The others can travel according to the plan."
Although the others were also a little confused and didn't know what they were talking about, since Liu Xiaoxiao said so, they didn't ask any more questions.
Rong Lingji waved his hand, and a convertible appeared on the side of the road. There seemed to be no driver's seat inside, and there was no difference between the front and back seats.
Liu Xiaoxiao saw with his spiritual sense that this car actually used space folding technology. Although it looked like it could only seat four or five people, in fact, if necessary, it could easily seat thirty or fifty people.
The three of them got into the car, and without seeing Rong Lingji make any move, the car flashed and appeared a hundred meters in the air, then sped away into the distance.
"This is an antique I found at a used car market. It's pretty good, isn't it?" Rong Lingji said with a smile from the front row. "I use my spiritual sense to transmit my thoughts, but a great magician's mental power is enough to control it. I just need to convey the information about where I want to go. As for driving, that's the car's responsibility."
"It looks like there is a planned aerial road." Liu Xiaoxiao said as he looked at the flying cars speeding around him.
"It doesn't rely on tangible pipelines, but on intangible computing," Rong Lingji said. "All vehicles are connected for computing. There are also a large number of imaging satellites in the sky, and many nano-detectors with no collision volume around. Road conditions can be fully controlled. Each vehicle's route is assigned by a distributed server, and each vehicle has a certain degree of autonomy."
"How long ago did you buy that second-hand car? Doesn't this network need maintenance and updates?" Liu Xiaoxiao was a little confused.
"This antique car is just an older model, no longer in production. I've updated many of the internal instruments," Rong Lingji said. "The company that produced this car went bankrupt 35,000 years ago. There are probably only thirteen of them in the world now. It cost me 80 million Ice and Fire coins to get it. It's really valuable."
Liu Xiaoxiao knew that the Ice and Fire Coin was not the circulating currency of the Yangshen Alliance, but a commemorative coin used to commemorate the former Ice and Fire Demon Chef. The price of a commemorative coin was about one thousand Yangshen coins, and the value of Yangshen coins was at least hundreds of times that of federal coins.
The Yangshen Alliance has the first-mover advantage, and is far ahead of the Douluo Federation in both economy and technology.
"This car seems to be heading out of the city." He Qiang suddenly said.
"We're heading to the Lost Holy City, just outside the Lost Ancient City. The Lost Ancient City is a metropolis, and our current location is within its narrow urban area. The Lost Holy City is also a part of it, though it's located on the outskirts. It was once the capital of the Lost Empire, and now, thanks to a redevelopment project, it's being reused. As for the ancient ruins, the less practical ones have been recreated in the Yangshen World, while the more important ones have been restored and are being used as research centers. Oh, the Yangshen World is a virtual space created by the Yangshen Alliance," Rong Lingji explained. "The Tower of Oblivion, at the heart of the Lost Holy City, is its iconic landmark. Beneath it lies an ancient research room, the site where the last emperor of the Lost Empire, Luther XVII, died. It also serves as the Lost Empire's database, compiling all of its data there, including archaeological findings from prehistoric times. Later, the Yangshen Alliance conducted archaeological activities around the world, hoping to uncover traces of past civilizations and restore ancient technology, and all the data they gained was stored there."
"You mentioned earlier that the civilization of this planet has been destroyed more than once." He Qiang asked.
"This planet has experienced at least thirteen civilizational collapses and primitive civilization revivals. You can think of the evolution of civilization on this planet as a microcosm of the historical evolution of cosmic civilization." Rong Lingji nodded. "This planet has a history of at least hundreds of billions of years, even older than the Eternal Star Region, and it still holds many mysteries. The civilizations discovered so far, arranged in chronological order, include the Protoss Civilization, the Giant Civilization, the Innate Spirit Civilization, the Ancient Dragon Civilization, the Phoenix Civilization, the Advanced Magic Beast Civilization, and the Prehistoric Pan-Primate Civilization. Some civilizations overlapped in time, and some types appeared multiple times, causing considerable confusion for archaeologists. Exactly which civilizations modern civilization inherited from is also an unsolved mystery."
"What are the specific time points of the ancient dragon civilization and phoenix civilization?" He Qiang asked.
"Probably between 65 billion and 50 billion years ago," Rong Lingji said casually. "It's around the same time as the middle and late stages of the Manifestation Era in the universe. This planet should have once experienced an evolution towards the divine realm, but for some reason the process was halted and the Heart of Nature was lost. It's unknown whether it still exists on this planet. Later, due to numerous civilizational wars, the planet's evolutionary process even regressed, leaving many parts of the plane barren and ancient technology and magic lost. This is why it presents this strange state of both advanced and backward magic. Because of this, the people on the planet currently have a fear of war."
"The Heart of Nature is the cornerstone of the divine world after all. Even for me, it would take some effort to find it." Liu Xiaoxiao naturally understood what the other party wanted to say.
"It's not impossible, right?" Rong Lingji smiled. "Of course, even if you refuse, we won't stop you from going to that ancient database."
"Now that you've said this, how can I refuse?" Liu Xiaoxiao clicked his tongue.
"You didn't intend to refuse from the beginning, right?" Rong Lingji said with a smile.
"You are much more insidious than others, even more despicable than the most despicable one in Zhou's family." Liu Xiaoxiao complained.
"After all, I've lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and my age is closer to my parents than my brothers and sisters." Rong Lingji sighed, "I'm afraid that even if you put your ages together, you're still not as old as me."
"You are acting like a senior at this time?" Liu Xiaoxiao laughed.
"Speaking of which, where are your brothers and sisters?" He Qiang asked. "I'm not complaining, but when we went to Haomiao Star, the entire Zhou family went. Oh, except for one person."
"It's all because of your commission. Everyone else is currently in that ancient research lab processing information related to the Taiyan Ancient Clan. It wouldn't be easy for you to translate all of the written material. Although you possess the divine consciousness of a Divine King, you're not a linguist after all." Rong Lingji shook his head. "As for that despicable brat from the Zhou family you mentioned, I do know where he is. Since the establishment of the Eternal Realm, he's been captured by the Crystal Spirits and is now working as a translator."
Liu Xiaoxiao and He Qiang looked at each other and did not continue the conversation.
The speed of the car was very fast, and soon a spire appeared in front of them.
As they approached, the ground next to the spire naturally cracked, revealing a sloping passage.
The car drove in and the ground closed again. After a while, a big door appeared in front of the group.
Arriving at the gate, the three got out of the car. Rong Lingji put away the flying car and probed forward with his spiritual sense. The gate then moved away to both sides. In front of Liu Xiaoxiao and He Qiang appeared a huge research room. The surrounding area was dominated by sky blue, and various holographic projections were intertwined to form a holographic world.
The room is hundreds of meters high, but there is not a speck of dust. It is difficult to determine its size because there are quite a lot of doors here, and there are probably enough rooms to make it impossible to see everything at a glance.
A humanoid guide robot then walked over, looking almost like a real person.
Rong Lingji waved his hand, and the guiding robot retreated and left. Liu Xiaoxiao and He Qiang followed him to a room, and after identity verification, they opened the door.
Behind the door was a room with a diameter of about several hundred meters. Liu Xiaoxiao saw many familiar faces in it, including Rong Yunping and others, Dabao’s two sons, and of course, Zhou Hanxin was also there.
"You're here," Rong Luoyun stepped forward. "We've gathered all the Taiyan ancient writing materials you requested. For tens of thousands of years, the Yangshen Alliance's linguists have been attempting to translate the Taiyan ancient writing, but without much progress. They've only accumulated enough theoretical tools, which have helped us. These past few days, we've finally managed to translate a few sentences from the Taiyan ancient language, but that's all we have. The rest may take quite a while to translate."
As Rong Luoyun spoke, he took out a small ball made of mithril and threw it casually. The ball disappeared naturally, and at the same time, a huge holographic three-dimensional projection appeared in front of them.
Under Rong Luoyun's spiritual control, several metal plates inscribed with the ancient Taiyan clan's characters and their corresponding Douluo language translations appeared before them.
"God said that the laws of the universe have changed."
"God said a new disaster is coming."
“God said, The first thing that blows is the wind.”
"God said he would face this challenge alone."
"God said that we will eventually usher in that day."
"God said, this time, we will get through this too."
"But if God is gone, what is the meaning of our existence?"
“Everything we have comes from God and will return to God.”
"Oh, great God, we offer you our most sincere respects."
"Oh, great God, we obey your will."
“Oh, great God, we are with you.”
"Oh, great God, one day we will see you again."
"We will spread hope across the sea of stars, and one day, you will return."
