Everyone outside the light screen felt their scalps tingling, as if they were about to explode.
"Is this the origin of the mermaid clan's heritage?!"
"Who the hell is that 'prophet'?!"
"The mermaid heritage ruins, the Sea Eye ruins, the Ocean Heart necklace, the Ark core, the triangular crystal cone, all these things are connected."
"Is this the truth about the world? Who is telling us?"
156. The identity of the "prophet"! Control of Longmen City! 4K
"It turns out that Gu Ran had seen such a secret before. Was this the turning point for him to become evil?"
"Not really. This is just a video of salvation from a prehistoric period. Although it is a period of history that almost no one remembers and is indeed very secretive, it doesn't seem to have much to do with Gu Ran."
"Aren't you curious why the face of the 'prophet' can't be seen clearly? Why do I feel that his figure is somewhat similar to Gu Ran's?"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
"How did you see that? You must be dazzled! That was at least two thousand years ago. How could Gu Ran live that long? And Gu Ran was clearly born in this era."
"Could it be that... Gu Ran was possessed by that 'prophet'? Didn't that 'prophet' say that he had lived for more than three hundred years? If what he said was true... is it possible that he could continue to live, but because time has been so long, he has to find another way to survive."
"Just like the heritage of the mermaids, the souls of the queens of the mermaids from all generations are stored in the ruins and still exist hundreds of years later. Since the 'prophet' was able to help the mermaids build the heritage ruins, it means that he knows a lot about it. Perhaps it should be said that no one knows more about soul heritage than him."
This guess sounded much more reliable than the previous one, and for a moment no one refuted it.
"Is it really... like this..."
Even the women frowned and started thinking.
Xue Xiling was the first to break the silence: "Impossible, the mermaids are a special group, and the rejection between the same group is very small. Compared with that, the rejection between humans is many times greater. It is impossible for the soul to parasitize on another person for a long time! Just like the supernatural crystal core cannot be transplanted and passed on to non-blood relatives!"
"But didn't Gu Ran successfully transplant the supernatural crystal core into Gu Qingqing? They are not blood relatives." Someone immediately objected.
The scene where Gu Ran replaced Gu Qingqing's entire blood and transplanted a space-powered crystal core was so shocking that many people immediately thought of this example to refute it.
Xue Xiling replied calmly: "Whether the use of blood transfusion to transplant energy crystal cores to non-blood relatives is universal still lacks more case support, and cannot be inferred as an established rule. We don't know whether there are other factors that led to the success of this transplant case.
"Moreover, when Gu Ran transplanted the spatial energy crystal core to Gu Qingqing, he also needed to exchange his blood with her. But what about the soul? The rejection between the soul and the body involves many aspects, and it cannot be solved by a simple method like blood transfusion."
Everyone was speechless for a moment. When it came to the professional field, no one at the scene was a match for Xue Xiling. However, they did not believe Xue Xiling's denial. They just couldn't think of any words to refute at the moment. But they still insisted on their own ideas, so they remained silent.
In fact, Xue Xiling knew that she was a little impulsive this time. If she looked at this matter from a professional perspective, she would not be able to make such a arbitrary conclusion.
But when it comes to Gu Ran, her heart can no longer calm down.
Emotionally, she was unwilling to believe that the Gu Ran she knew had "died" and was replaced by another "old monster" whom she didn't even know.
Moreover, she carefully recalled the days she had spent with Gu Ran. Gu Ran did not seem to have become a different person. Only after Gu Ran killed her father and embarked on a journey of no return, he seemed to have completely turned into a stranger, and she could no longer recognize him.
The other women naturally did not believe that Gu Ran would be possessed by a "old monster" that had existed for thousands of years. This was because they believed in Gu Ran's abilities, and also because the current evidence was insufficient and only remained some people's delusion.
But no one noticed that Lin Fan was looking at the light screen with a frown on his face.
A question arose in his mind.
Since the triangular crystal cone has such a great origin and is the core of the ark of the previous civilization, then why did he find a triangular crystal cone so easily? He originally thought it was a civilization from outside the star...
But now things seemed to have gone a little off, which made him a little worried.
But no matter what, everyone present was even more eager to see the subsequent developments on the light screen.
... ...
In the light screen.
The scene of the "prophet" in the mermaid tribe was only played for a while. After the mermaid tribe's heritage ruins were built, the scene began to change again.
This time, the picture shows the prototype of a city.
However, the city under construction is not the main city of later generations, because its scale is not large. It is just an ordinary small town, and its scale is only a block of the main city of later generations.
The era of lord city-states!
This was an era of human civilization before the establishment of the main city. In this era, there were many scattered human city-states, and humans' understanding of the tide of ferocious beasts was still in its ignorant stage.
Two workers who were building a wall were talking to each other.
"It seems that the 'Prophet' has not appeared for a long time. Do you think the 'Prophet' has already..." said one of the workers.
"Huh, who knows? The 'prophet' is said to have lived for three or four hundred years. He was my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather... I don't know how many grandfathers before him. After living for so long, isn't it normal for him to die?" said another worker indifferently.
"What you said makes sense. It's just a pity that the 'Prophet' died without even considering taking care of the human offspring. You said that you lived long enough, but we haven't lived long enough. Why did you hide the Ark Core?"
In the conversation between the two people, there was no longer a trace of the ancestors' reverence for the "prophet" in their words.
"Yes, we managed to escape the flood with great difficulty. We originally thought that we could rely on the Ark Core to make human civilization flourish again, but the 'Prophet' selfishly hid the Ark Core for his own use. This is the public property of mankind. How could the 'Prophet' do this? If the Ark Core still existed, building a city would be a simple and easy task. Why would we need to work so hard like primitive people doing these civil engineering works? We would have handed it over to construction robots long ago."
"Yes, yes. Now that the Ark Core is missing, all the modern facilities on the Ark have become useless. Humanity must start all over again and live through the primitive age. Really, although the 'Prophet' has made great contributions to mankind's success in surviving the flood, he shouldn't be so proud of his own achievements."
The two people's words were full of complaints and misunderstandings about the "prophet".
What the two people didn’t know was that the “prophet” they were talking about was standing right behind them.
The "prophet" listened to the two people's words silently, but did not say much, and even without letting the two people know, he opened the space portal and left.
The "prophet" who had left continued to listen to the people's discussions and comments about him in this emerging small city-state. He did not utter a word during the whole process, as if he was just an irrelevant passer-by.
Finally, the "prophet" teleported himself to the top of a mountain and looked at the small city-state quietly.
"Am I doing the right thing?" he murmured to himself.
"If humans abandon the achievements of past civilization, can they really gain a glimmer of hope? This may just be my wishful thinking."
“If I don’t try, I’ll never know the real answer, but if I try it wrong, I won’t have a second chance to try it again.”
... ...
"What the hell are these? Wild beasts? Why are there so many of them?"
"Go away! Don't come over here! Damn it!"
"Run! Wild beasts! Lots of wild beasts! They are very fierce!"
"All men, prepare your weapons immediately! Close the city gates and don't let those beasts rush in!"
The small city-state that had been built suffered a bloody baptism.
For the first time, humans who had created a glorious civilization knew what a tide of ferocious beasts was. This was a situation they had never encountered before.
After losing the core of the Ark, human civilization almost regressed to the primitive age, and there were few modern weapons left. Faced with the tides of ferocious beasts, there was absolutely no power to resist.
"Sure enough, there are... new changes."
The "prophet" was on a hilltop, opened his eyes from being closed, and looked towards the city-state.
Looking at those originally ordinary wild beasts, which became ferocious and fearless for unknown reasons and attacked humans in groups, the "Prophet" had a complicated tone.
Looking at the human city-state ravaged by the tide of ferocious beasts, the "Prophet" hesitated.
"Should I help? Humans will have to deal with all this sooner or later. If I help, it will only delay humans' adaptation to the current environment, which may not be good for humans."
The "prophet" hesitated, but the tragedy happening in the distance made him unable to remain indifferent.
"Well, I'd better help them secretly. I can't let them become dependent on me."
The "prophet" made up his mind. He did not show up, but secretly used invisible mental power to help humans resist the tide of ferocious beasts.
Fortunately, there are not too many city-states built by humans now, and the range of his mental power is enough to cover all existing human city-states.
With the secret help of the "prophet", humans successfully survived the first wave of ferocious beasts.
This sudden wave of ferocious beasts caused heavy losses to humans, not only in terms of casualties, but more seriously, panic began to spread.
Because it was the first time humans encountered a tide of ferocious beasts, they knew nothing about it. They had no sense of security and were filled with panic.
"Didn't they say that the 'Prophet' was protecting us? Where is the 'Prophet'? Why didn't he show up!?"
"Not only did the 'Prophet' take away our civilization, he also left us alone to be slaughtered by these beasts!"
"How despicable! How can he be called a 'prophet' by us? He is nothing but an old immortal. Bah!"
Amid the panic, long-suppressed dissatisfaction and suspicion began to erupt.
More and more accusations are directed at the "prophet".
The "prophet" could clearly hear people talking about him, but he still had no intention of showing up.
He looked at his body, which had become even fainter, as if the invisible ink written on the paper had begun to work to make it invisible.
"It seems that this is my last help to mankind. If I interfere with the development of mankind again, I will disappear immediately..." The "Prophet" said to himself with a wry smile.
"As expected, I can no longer fulfill this long-cherished wish. However, if this world really develops as I wish, then the preparations I left behind should still be useful."
"If they are alive in another world, then they should be considered alive."
The figure stood on the top of the mountain, gazing at the city-state that was cursing him in the distance. He kept staring for who knows how many days and moons, until it slowly disappeared.
It’s as if this person doesn’t exist in this era, as if this person doesn’t exist in this world.
When Gu Ran looked at this scene, his heart was shocked and a feeling of sadness surged up.
"So this is the period from when humans transitioned from the last civilization to before the discovery of the star stone?" After a long time, Gu Ran suppressed the sadness in his heart and began to think.
"The Prophet..."
