All the creatures he encountered, whether human or other creatures in Ark City, were tainted with the aura of death, no different from the black flood that could be seen everywhere.
The moment this black and dead aura was emitted, those creatures fell to the ground, unable to stand up again.
The companions nearby saw this and had no intention of rescuing them. Instead, they used an isolation device to put them in tears.
These people are already "dead". If you try to rescue them, you will be contaminated by the black aura.
They were trapped and isolated using devices because the flesh and blood of these creatures were also one of the energy sources of the Ark and could not be wasted.
Suddenly, rays of hot light like the sun lit up from the tall tower in the center of the Ark.
The lights were blindingly bright, but they brought them immense peace of mind.
Under the illumination of these lights, even the shadows disappeared without a trace, and these strange monsters with black aura also vanished under the illumination of the lights.
Soon, there were no more strange monsters with black aura at the edge of the Ark, and the survivors knew that they had escaped this time.
Some people shouted in ecstasy, some cried for the loss of their loved ones, and some even wailed - they were people who were contaminated by a trace of black aura but had not yet "died" for the time being.
These black auras seemed to be death, slowly spreading over them and slowly leading them to the kingdom of death.
"Where is the prophet? Why hasn't the prophet come yet?"
"Prophet! Save us!"
Those people's voices were full of hope, despair and fear at the same time.
Didn't the prophet always come quickly to help them solve the problem of the black aura in the past? Why didn't he come today
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." A gentle and mellow voice suddenly sounded.
A pair of crystal clear hands caressed the injured person's body, and the owner of the hands looked like a "young man".
But what made everyone outside the screen regretful was that the face of the "young man" was blurry.
A life-filled energy overflowed, expelling the black aura representing death from the injured person's body.
One, one, and another...
All those who could be "cured" have recovered as before. They immediately bowed down to the "young man" standing not far away and kowtowed with respect.
"Long live the Prophet!"
"Long live the Prophet!"
"Long live the Prophet!"
... ...
The "young man" sighed. Perhaps he was tired of the long explanation. In the end, he did not say anything about these actions. He just said to the people around him: "For those who have been corrupted by the deathly silence, check if they have relatives or friends. If so, give them the remains of the victims before they are thrown into the Ark Core."
Those who died on the Ark would eventually be put into the center and become the energy that kept the Ark running and allowed the living to continue living.
"How far is it to the eye of the sea?" the "prophet" suddenly asked.
"If the Ark continues to move forward at its current speed, it will only have two days at most," the person next to him answered.
"Are there any intelligent races left there?"
"Yes, the mermaid tribe."
"Mermaids? How do they do it?"
"The queen of the mermaids created a small ocean in the sky."
"I see. However, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is depleting. She probably won't be able to hold on for long. Even if she can hold on, the sky will soon no longer be a safe area. The mermaids are much more familiar with that sea area than we are. We should be able to win them over. Sealing the eye of the sea will also be good for them."
... ...
Outside the light screen.
Mermaids
Did he mention the merpeople
Eudora stared.
The history of the mermaids has always been incomplete, so let alone the prehistoric era which is who knows how many years ago, even the history of several hundred years ago, she is not very clear. She can only understand and infer it through the oral narration of the old mermaids and some human records.
Now that she could actually see her ancestors from the flood period, Eudora couldn't help but feel more excited.
"I can actually create a small ocean in the sky to temporarily house my people. This ability is a bit of a stretch even with my current strength."
Eudora sighed in her heart.
It turned out that their mermaid tribe once had such a powerful ancestor. She felt a little proud in her heart.
"Is it really possible to create a small ocean in the sky? Won't the sea water fall down?" Other powerful humans were also surprised by this.
"The Sky Sea is truly a powerful force."
"But fortunately, there has never been such a powerful queen in the mermaid tribe again, otherwise humans would be in some trouble."
Some people also said so.
Although this sentence drew angry glares from the sea people, he didn't care. Anyway, the sea people and they were now at odds and had stood on the opposite side. What was wrong with him gloating
Eudora glanced at him. If she hadn't been looking for an opportunity to save Gu Ran, she would have rushed up and slammed him into the ground.
Xue Xiling looked at the light screen with a frown.
The content on the light screen was somewhat different from what she expected. She had always suspected that this exploration of the ruins had caused a bad change in Gu Ran, which eventually led to a drastic change in his temperament and turned him into a cruel and bloodthirsty tyrant.
But judging from the current situation, it seems to be quite normal.
She had been in a coma twice, and she thought that Gu Ran was affected by something evil during these two times, but what she didn't expect was that Gu Ran's experience during these two comas was actually "normal".
The first time was a conversation with the "Tyrant Shadow" of Canglong City more than 300 years ago, and then he went through a "simulation" and learned about the Star Stone and some secrets of Canglong City more than 300 years ago.
The second time, he was "watching a movie" like them, watching some even more ancient secrets. Although these secrets were called "the truth of the world" by that inexplicable text, no matter how you looked at it, they did not seem like factors that could cause Gu Ran to undergo a drastic change.
Is there something else happening later
Xue Xiling thought.
... ...
The ark, like a huge island, was moving towards the original habitat of the mermaids. During the journey, it encountered several attacks by strange monsters like before, and some people were injured. However, due to proper response and timely handling, no large-scale casualties were caused.
During this period, the figure of the "Prophet" was the most frequently seen, because everyone who was invaded by the black aura but not seriously needed his salvation to completely get rid of the remnants of the black aura on their body.
When those people saw the figure of the "prophet", they were filled with reverence, as if it was a towering mountain that they could rely on.
But if people around look closely, they can see that the majestic mountain is already showing signs of collapse.
After the strange monsters invaded, the time when the "prophet" appeared was always barely within the red line, and he saved them just before the black aura completely invaded those people.
... ...
"Isn't he sacrificing himself by saving those people?"
"Why do I feel that the prophet is getting older and older?"
There were also strong people outside the light screen who keenly noticed this. They could not see the appearance of the "prophet", but they could feel it.
"By the way, what exactly is the identity of this 'prophet'? Wasn't the technology of the previous civilization very advanced? Why is there such a religious and superstitious title?"
"The prophet... what can he prophesy?"
Everyone was very interested in this "prophet" who appeared.
... ...
"The prophet is not a prophet. It's ridiculous to be given this title." The "prophet" said to the children around him, "Because although the world will continue to operate according to the established trajectory, it can also change at any time due to various factors. If it changes, you can no longer be a prophet."
The children surrounding him seemed to understand what was going on.
The "prophet" did not seem to hope that these naive children would understand what he said, but he continued speaking, as if explaining.
"People call the world's predetermined course of action 'fate', but since fate can be changed, why do we still fear it so much?"
Suddenly a child asked: "Is fate as huge as the Ark? So ordinary people can't change it. Just like the Ark, only the prophet can change its path."
The Prophet was startled, smiled, thought for a moment, nodded, and then shook his head: "You are right, but not entirely right. It is true that I am the only one who can change the Ark's route, but why did I change the Ark's route? Have you ever thought about this?"
Now the child was confused, and he looked at the "prophet" in confusion.
"The Ark was built and moved forward for only one purpose, which is to preserve the flame of human civilization and to resolve the world-destroying natural disasters."
The sound drifted into everyone's ears with the wind.
"Okay, let's stop talking. I have to be busy from now on. You guys go ahead." The "Prophet" smiled and waved his hand.
"'Prophet', we have arrived at the Mermaid Tribe! Look, that big dark cloud in the sky is the Sky Sea created by the Mermaid Queen."
A voice sounded, and the owner of the voice hurriedly ran towards the "prophet".
... ...
"You are the 'prophet' of mankind. I heard that you have lived for more than a hundred years? But why do you not look old at all?"
"Could this rumor be false? The 'prophet' of your kind is actually passed down from generation to generation. Are you actually the descendant of the previous 'prophet'? But you say to the outside world that you are the same person?"
In the sky, the mermaid queen looked at the "prophet" with shock and confusion in her eyes.
The Prophet smiled and nodded: "The rumors are indeed false. If we only count this time and space world, I have lived for three hundred years."
Mermaid Queen: "..."
