Seeing those runes, Hao Ren seemed to have a flash of lightning in his heart. It seemed that many scattered or unreliable clues suddenly became clear and orderly, and were supported by solid facts. The ancient magic empire of the tower and the rebellion of the god-killing race at Suluen's Gate were connected across a distance of hundreds of millions of light years, and the two civilizations with great differences in strength were involved in the same vortex by these runes.
"The magic emperors of Holletta have received the knowledge inheritance of the godslayers." At this moment, this sentence is no longer a guess, but a proven fact, and the evidence is engraved on the wall.
"... is the rune technology of 'Nizi'," the data terminal immediately found the record from the database, "Although the material of this relic is not comparable to the interstellar alloy of the god-killing race, the power of these runes is real. Of—they block the energy explosion that happens here, so the outer hall is so complete."
"Is this considered incriminating evidence..." Vivienne said in a low voice, "Now the Emperor of Magic and the God Killing incident are really inseparable."
"There have been clues for a long time - the ancient magic emperor obtained the technology of creating 'god-like creatures' from God Killer, and the price was to keep silent when the goddess was assassinated. They used this technology to create a powerful demon hunter, but But before he could apply it to himself, he was erased from the planet by the furious eldest son," Hao Ren said, shaking his head, "Now it's just a proof."
Lily blinked, looked at Hao Ren and then at the runes on the wall, her ears trembled: "But I always feel that something is wrong."
"What did you think of?" Vivian immediately turned her head to look at her: the husky girl has a keen intuition, and she can always notice details that are easily overlooked by others. deny.
"Didn't I just say it before?" Lily crossed her arms, "The ancient magic emperors created demon hunters (ancient species) on the premise of maintaining their devout belief in the goddess, so it doesn't rule out that they have turned to kill gods." suspects."
Hao Ren and Vivian nodded at the same time. This is indeed a contradiction, but if you admit this inference, the runes in front of you cannot be explained.
After talking about this contradictory point, Lily pointed to the corpses that fell on the ground—they had died ten thousand years ago, but in this place where time stood still, their death was only a few days ago: "It's still With these Holleta people, no matter how powerful they are, they are just a civilization that is tossing around on their own planet. How can they help the god-killing race? Why would the god-killing race put such a level of The technology is taught to these people? The artificial human technology is not so exaggerated, but these runes are high-tech even in the hands of the god-killing race?"
Hao Ren pinched his forehead, knowing in his heart that what Lily said was indeed a bigger suspicious point, and it was a suspicious point that he had only noticed not long ago.
At the very beginning, his knowledge was not that high, and he didn't have any doubts after finding out that Holleta's ancient magic civilization might have something to do with the God-killing War, but as he got more and more in touch with Those areas beyond the knowledge of mortals, he gradually realized how magnificent and terrible the war of killing gods was, and how powerful the two sides in the war each possessed. The fact that this small planet at the border of civilization could be involved in the war of killing gods has caused doubts: Even if the magic empire was far stronger than it is today, it was just a preliminary civilized civilization that could colonize its own planetary system. Qualified to play a role in the whole conspiracy
Hao Ren now knows how huge the level gap is between the ancient Holleta civilization and the Godslayer. At first, he thought that the latter was trying to woo the former to prevent the former from responding to the Goddess of Creation's call for help, and he carried out technical bribery , but now this conjecture has become increasingly untenable. Those powerful godslayers don't need to be so "high" to the backward civilization in this marginal area. There are sufficient arguments for this point: there are countless civilizations in the universe that did not respond to the goddess' call, and Hao Ren has already found some of the wreckage , but there is no evidence to prove that the god-killing race has ever "wooed" or "bribed" these civilizations.
And these civilizations are basically stronger than Holleta back then.
Hao Ren raised his head and exchanged glances with Vivienne. He saw the same confusion in each other's eyes.
"Maybe the elf using the Holy Flame can give us some answers after waking up," Vivian said.
She didn't directly call him "demon hunter" or "ancient species", because the other party really didn't look like a test product out of a culture tank, and his elves' characteristics were obviously not like a demon hunter. The power of the holy flame might just be a by-product of the magic emperors trying to integrate 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, trying 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" rune engraved on the wall of the laboratory blocked the shock wave, allowing the base to survive. The people in the outer zone did not try to open the gate of the inner zone to recover the loss after they noticed the accident. Perhaps they confirmed through some kind of monitoring means that the central laboratory was completely damaged and there was no need to save it, or they might be worried about the rampage in the laboratory. The "monsters" would be uncontrollable. In short, they chose to abandon this place and seal it permanently, and then took the rescued materials to complete the research of ancient species in another place, and synthesized the first batch of "perfect creatures" .
The cause of the explosion should be the rampage of the "Holy Flame Incarnation".
In the pile of molten pedestal wreckage in the center of the hall, Hao Ren found a twisted and deformed metal bracelet. The bracelet was made of slender and winding vine-like alloy wires, with an obvious elf style. Soon he found another bracelet on the elf in a coma, which proved that the pedestal in the center of the laboratory was indeed for that elf.
Probably because the bracelet is carried by the elf itself, it escaped the impact of the energy rampage and was not completely damaged.
While checking these clues, Vivienne asked a question: "You said, why is time here standing still for 10,000 years?"
After Vivian reminded him, Hao Ren remembered this question that he had almost forgotten.
The ancient magic empire didn't have the ability to control time—in other words, it couldn't reach the level where it could freeze a ruin for 10,000 years.
Space-time magic is not uncommon on this planet. In fact, even Haimer has mastered one or two magics such as "time acceleration" or "freezing spell", but even they themselves never think that these magics are the real mastery of magic. the power of time. Most of them regard this kind of magic as a small-scale, temporary force field spell, which can simulate the acceleration or deceleration of time by interfering with the movement of matter in the casting area. In the ancient magic empire, space-time spells are more powerful. But it is not beyond the scope of this "false simulation".
On this planet, no one has really touched the truth of the passage of time.
"Maybe it has something to do with these runes?" Hao Ren frowned, looking at the densely packed divine power runes on the wall, "The god-killing race should have this ability, at least if it's just to restrain a small experimental base, yes It shouldn't be too difficult for them."
"It is also possible that the energy explosion that year distorted the space-time structure here," the data terminal also participated in the discussion, "judging from the density of the runes on the wall, there must have been very powerful energy gathered in this room back then—maybe the entire darkness All the ancient facilities in the mountain range serve this laboratory. Converging all these energies into one point and then bursting out in an instant may indeed cause time and space to be distorted, and the blocking and compression effects of the surrounding runes will make this process happen again. enlarge."
Hao Ren frowned. All guesses were just guesses. After bold assumptions, careful verification was necessary. He instinctively felt that there must be something undiscovered here, perhaps buried under the melted and deformed ruins.
He remembered the note he found in the external laboratory, and the various words on the note.
Oracles... divine cells... fusion...
It is impossible for the Holleta people to create divine cells out of thin air. For mortals, the extraordinary power of "divine power" must have a carrier before they can be perceived and manipulated. How did the original oracle and divine power fall into the hands of the ancient magic emperor
What kind of "medium" did they use to take on those great powers, infuse them into biological cells, and "make" them into "products"
If this is the original proving ground of the demon hunter—or the "Perfect Creature Project", then there must be the original source of divine power here! That's the energy source for the whole project!
The source of this divine power should be in this central laboratory. The people who escaped from this base completed the follow-up research with the produced divine cells, and they did not have the opportunity to take away the contents of the central laboratory—even if the big bang destroyed everything here, as the carrier of divine power, the " "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 power source, they can't create divine power out of thin air, those energies must be was placed in a container…”
Vivian was stunned for a moment: "Maybe it's blown up..."
"But it doesn't mean that there are no fragments left, it is the carrier of divine power after all!"
Everyone immediately got busy and began to search under the scorched and deformed ruins for any suspicious-looking material fragments beyond the level of ancient civilization, but just as they started to search, a high-ranking knight who was staying outside suddenly ran in.
"My... my lord!" the knight shouted in a panic, "She's awake! She's awake!"
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment before realizing what the other party said was that the "incarnation of the Holy Flame" had awakened.
Vivian noticed the strange expression on the flustered knight's face, so she asked, "Did she talk after waking up?"
"Yes... yes!" The knight nodded vigorously, with an incredulous expression on his face, "She said... she said she was Lolisa!"
