Chapter 911: The "Girl" Within the Ruins of Civilization
"Except for one exception."
"The collective of technological civilization is already very powerful, and its civilization is at its peak and cannot be concealed, but from beginning to end, it has never had its own 'era deity'."
Hear the words.
Gu Heng understood: "So they have never had a 'trump card' that can guarantee their technological civilization will not be completely destroyed when it is invaded."
"That's right, that's why we need to 'create gods'."
"Perhaps because they have already killed the gods, technological civilizations think that creating gods is probably not that difficult."
"So they gathered all the power of their civilization to create a god. No one knows what happened, but the Mirror Moon Kingdom completely disappeared while creating the god... that's roughly it."
"But whether it's true or not, nobody knows."
Yue Ru stopped there, since these were all speculations and no one knew the real story.
Anyway, the Mirror Moon Kingdom is gone, it's that simple.
But this ancient site certainly doesn't look like it has been the site of a war...
Gu Heng's mind was a jumbled mess. What Yue Ru told him was all very novel, and he had to digest it as soon as possible. Otherwise, when he left this place one day, he couldn't be so ignorant of the ways of the world, or he would probably find it difficult to move an inch.
As they walked and talked, they found themselves at the very heart of this technological megacity.
When Gu Heng looked out into the distance, he saw the crystal palace towering in the center of the giant city. This was probably the best-preserved and tallest building in the giant city.
"...Are you planning to go in?" Yue Ru stopped and looked around. Her expression changed from relaxed to somewhat tense.
There's no other reason than that they went too deep.
Along the way, Yue Ru had seen no fewer than dozens, or even millions, of technological creations, but the power fluctuations emanating from the dozen or so technological creations guarding the entrance to the Crystal Palace were too solid, even shaking her physical body!
The only one who could make her feel this way was Wu Zhao.
Wu Zhao's strength is at the peak of the Nirvana Realm!
He has become the only one in all realms, and the dozen or so creations before him are all about as strong as him!
Such is the nature of technological civilization; although it never engages in cultivation, its mastery of creating and utilizing "external objects" far surpasses that of all other civilizations.
The mere presence of the gatekeepers surrounding that palace was enough to make Yue Ru's body feel incredibly heavy. As for what lay inside... no matter how she thought about it, she felt that going in was definitely not a good choice.
Moreover.
What can you gain from that?
Exploring the ruins of civilizations is all about obtaining useful opportunities that can improve one's cultivation, strengthen one's hard power, and thus better resist the erosion of concepts.
Instead of getting a bunch of "scrap metal".
These technological creations would indeed be very useful outside, with many powers willing to buy weapons from technologically advanced civilizations. However, in the Epoch Cemetery, they are arguably the most useless things.
"I want to go in."
Gu Heng didn't care too much. They'd come all this way; why wouldn't they go in?
"Hey, wait a minute..."
Seeing that he was walking in casually with a look of great anxiety on his face, Yue Ru had no choice but to follow him.
Sure enough, she shouldn't have followed them in.
Although he knew he might never be able to leave the Epoch Cemetery for the rest of his life, he shouldn't just lose his life so carelessly.
Now all she can do is pray that following Gu Heng won't bring her eight lifetimes of bad luck.
They entered the Crystal Palace without any hindrance. Although the technological artifacts guarding the gates were still active, they remained indifferent to them.
Upon entering the palace, Gu Heng began to look around.
He saw many glowing energy tanks connected by countless intangible "pipes," with countless cyan energies flowing in an orderly fashion and being injected into unseen places.
The entire palace was filled with countless streams of physical data.
This scenery wasn't entirely unfamiliar to Gu Heng; he had seen similar data streams aboard the "Apocalypse" warship. However, compared to that, the data streams carried by the Apocalypse were merely drops of water, while this was a vast ocean!
"This is the core of civilization in the Mirror Moon Heaven!"
Yue Ru suddenly said.
This time, Gu Heng didn't even need to ask before she continued to explain: "Most technological civilizations have something like this. An entire power has a central hub that records countless technological achievements and the history of the entire power's development."
"You know too much," Gu Heng said in surprise.
"Before I ended up in the Epoch Cemetery, I was sent to a technological civilization... but that's all in the past."
Yue Ru waved her hand.
This time, she took the initiative to lead the way, taking Gu Heng deeper into the palace, and finally stopped at a certain place.
Standing before the two was a gigantic mechanical sphere floating in mid-air. "Found it, the central hub of civilization of the Mirror Moon Kingdom."
Looking at the mechanical sphere with countless text projections floating on its surface, Yue Ru said excitedly, "If we can activate this central hub of civilization, we will have the opportunity to learn about the entire past history of the Mirror Moon Kingdom!"
"Including how they were destroyed!"
But at this moment, Gu Heng stopped Yue Ru, who was eager to try, and pointed ahead.
She looked down and saw a crystal coffin beneath the mechanical sphere.
Inside the coffin lay a body radiating a crystalline blue light...
girl?
"Does Miss Yue Ru know what that is?"
Gu Heng asked.
"do not know."
Yue Ru frowned and released a wisp of spiritual energy, intending to probe into the crystal coffin, but the result was obvious: her spiritual energy could not penetrate it at all.
There are still living people in this place?
Moreover, it is slumbering within the most heavily guarded civilization center of the Mirror Moon Heaven Kingdom.
wrong.
Yue Ru noticed something was wrong after watching for a while. It seemed that much of the energy they had seen was heading into the crystal coffin!
That girl is definitely not a complete person!
It's more like a manufactured "container" that's storing energy!
So the question is, what are these containers, which can be placed in such places, used to hold?
