Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Meng Chao did not intend to hide his ident.i.ty.
After all, his appearance was slightly different from the Turan. Even if they did not have the characteristics of beasts, the ancient Turan looked like Neanderthals.
Moreover, it was not a secret that there were many different humanoid carbon-based intelligent life forms in the Other World.
Dwarfs, elves, ogres, abyssfolk, Ice Giants, Holy Light humans…
Adding an Earthling was not a big deal, right?
Therefore, he nodded calmly. “Indeed not. My friend who came to the Holy Mountain temple with me is a pure-blooded Turan. However, after he encountered a series of strange trials, he seemed to be deteriorated and controlled by some mysterious force. It was the guy who attacked us on the other side
of the rift.”
“That’s understandable.”
The huge metal plate floating in the middle of the vast stars hummed again, as if countless ancient Tulan people were speaking at the same time.
Someone said, “With our tribesmen’s deteriorating intelligence, they will definitely be eroded and controlled here.”
Another person said, “Your friend doesn’t seem to have been eroded too deeply. His will is already very tenacious.”
Another person said, “You’re not one of our people. Perhaps it’s better this way. All the Tulan people will be controlled by him. Only an outsider can possibly save our civilization.”
Another person asked impatiently, “You don’t seem to be a member of the Holy Light Tribe, nor do you look like a dwarf, elf, undead, or giant. who exactly are you, where are you from, and where do you want to go?”
Hundreds of voices simultaneously came from the interior of the metal plate that was vibrating at a high frequency.
‘The amazing thing was that there was no interference between the voices.
Meng Chao could hear all the voices clearly at the same time and understand the message that the other party sent.
Meng Chao pondered for a moment.
No matter what the purpose of this shining metal plate was, it contained an extremely powerful force that could accelerate the development of the Dragon City civilization, or at least continue the survival of the Dragon City civilization.
At the same time, the owner of this metal plate, or rather, the kind of “Intelligence’it represented, was in a huge predicament, and was hostile to the mysterious force lurking in the depths of the temple of the sacred mountain, it urgently needed the support of external forces to break the deadlock.
In other words, there was a possibility of trade and cooperation between itself and this metal plate.
Since the other party was open and honest, he explained the origin of the Tulan civilization clearly.
According to Meng Chao’s memories from his previous life, after Dragon City and Tulan ze made a blood pact, it was no secret that Dragon City came from Earth.
After all, it was impossible for tens of millions of citizens of Dragon City to keep their mouths shut.
There was no need for Meng Chao to hide these things that could be easily deduced.
“Tcome from Earth, a world that is very similar to the mother planet of the Tulan Civilization.”
Meng Chao hinted, “In fact, based on what I saw after I came to the temple of the sacred mountain, the similarity between us far surpa.s.ses that between us and the dwarves, elves, Undead, Giants, and the holy light humans. Of course, it also goes far beyond the scope of ‘coincidence’.
“However, we don’t know why we appeared in this… world full of danger and secrets. It was an accident. It was as if the stars had shifted overnight, and we arrived in this completely unfamiliar world.
“Therefore, we don’t know where we’re going.
“We just want to survive and find the truth and… friends. Perhaps, one day, we’ll be able to return to our hometown.”
The Metal Board was silent for a moment before it started vibrating again.
One of the voices seemed to be deeply moved by the last word Meng Chao said, “Home…”
Another voice said coldly, “It’s not an accident. All the civilizations that have transmigrated to this planet, be it active or pa.s.sive, are not accidents.”
Another voice said, “In that case, you are like us from 10,000 years ago, and you will eventually become us.”
Meng Chao could tell the helplessness and sadness in the last voice.
He immediately understood what the other person meant.
The first “US‘he referred to was the ancient Tulan people ten thousand years ago, who were advanced in technology and civilization. They could make plastics, develop sophisticated machines, and even travel through the Sea of stars.
The latter “US”referred to the “High-level orcs”who were bloodthirsty, aggressive, and seemingly majestic, but in fact, their civilization was about to be cut off.
Meng Chao thought quickly and asked carefully, “You seem to be very dissatisfied with the Tulan civilization today?”
“Our civilization is already dead.”
A voice said, “What is lying on the Tulan ze now is only the corpse of the Tulan civilization. No one will be satisfied when they see their own corpse.”
“No, our civilization is not completely dead yet!”
Another voice retorted, “At least, the seeds of hope are still hidden in the corpses of our civilization. As long as the conditions are right, our civilization will be able to take root and grow again!”
Meng Chao suppressed his excitement and interrupted the voice as if he had argued countless times. “Since you brought me here, you must think that I can provide you with some help.
“And the civilization behind me and I have no malice toward the Tulan civilization.
“At the very least, on the road of survival, we seem to have our own problems and are facing enormous threats. Before we solve our own problems and common threats, there is a very solid foundation for cooperation between us.
“It is better to travel alone than to stay together. If you really believe that an outsider can bring new possibilities to the Tulan civilization, then I am willing to offer all of my intelligence, force, and will as chips to exchange for a new possibility for my civilization.
“However, before we help each other and move forward together, I can only hope to get more information — who are you? What exactly is this planet? It seems that many civilizations have transmigrated here. You just said that ‘it’s not a coincidence’. Then what kind of power, existence, and reason would
make us appear on this crowded planet?”
The metal plate continued to buzz.
The frequency of the vibration was high, and the duration was exceptionally long.
It was as if countless voices were engaged in an unusually heated debate within the metal plate — whether to tell an outsider with no evidence of good or evil all the information about the Tulan civilization.
In the end, they came to a conclusion.
“Your request is reasonable.”
One voice said, “Telling you all the information about the Tulan civilization and the cause and effect of our arrival here will help you better understand this world and the mission you must complete.
“You are our last choice and our only choice.
“At the very least, you seem more likely to understand everything we are saying than the werewolf, the Lion Man, the Tiger Man, the Leopard Man, and the Rat Man.
“And we also believe that, after knowing everything, you will spare no effort and try your best to complete your mission.
“Because you will not only save the Tulan civilization, but also your hometown, your compatriots, and your civilization.
Meng Chao nodded.
He suddenly felt that something was not right.
If the werewolf referred to Ca.n.u.s, who were the Lion Man and the Tiger Man?
Could it be that “Horn of destruction’and “Blade of fury”had already arrived at the temple of the Sacred Mountain?
Wait, even if the lion and tiger duo had really entered the temple of the Sacred Mountain, Meng Chao remembered that they were all the most elite furious Lion Warriors and fierce tiger warriors, there were no “Leopard man’and “Rat Man”!
‘When he thought of this, Meng Chao’s pupils suddenly constricted.
d.a.m.n it, it was ice storm and Ancient Dream Saintess.
Weren’t the two of them ‘leopard man‘and ‘Rat Man’?
Could it be that ice storm and ancient Dream Saintess were captured by Lion King and Tiger King?
No Wonder Lion King and Tiger King could reach the sacred mountain temple so quickly!
Ice Storm had obtained a lot of information about the sacred mountain temple through the ‘Memory Crystal’.
The deep distortion of the ancient Dream Saintess‘brain was like a brainwave bomb that could explode at any time.
What variables would the two of them bring to the already complicated situation?
‘Meng Chao was burning with anxiety.
But his brain was unprecedentedly calm.
He did not let go of every piece of information that was transmitted from the interior of the metal plate.
However, he heard thousands of voices from the depths of the metal plate saying, “We are Haka’ in unison.
Meng Chao was familiar with the Turan language.
Plus, through technology that was more advanced than virtual reality, he could communicate with the other party with astronomical amounts of information every second.
Despite all that, the concept of “Haka” was still too obscure for the people on Earth or even modern h.o.m.o sapiens. It was like a meaningless but all-encompa.s.sing syllable.
Fortunately, the other party transmitted a ma.s.sive amount of information with the syllables, “Haka.”
“Haka” was the knowledge, information, and skills that the ancient Turan people had compressed and injected into the depths of their genes and sealed in the seed of life.
When the ancient Turan people were reproducing, they implanted the seed of life that had been sealed with “Haka” into the depths of their mother’s body. After a long period of nurturing, new life was born, and before they even opened their eyes, they were able to grasp the knowledge, information, and
skills that their parents and even their ancestors had once mastered.
The people of earth did not have “Haka.”
Therefore, when the babies of Earth were just born, they were ignorant and chaotic. They did not grasp any skills other than breathing, crying, and sucking.
The descendants of the top dancers and piano masters on Earth were not able to dance and play music that touched their souls at birth.
The doctors on Earth who could perform heart transplants would not be able to cut off even a small appendix when their children were born.
The drivers, teachers, engineers, scientists, Olympic champions, Special Forces soldiers who mastered hundreds of ways to kill… their children, who were just born, were still wet babies, they were all “white boards” with no skills. They knew nothing about this world. At most, they had some kind of talent,
but they did not have any specific knowledge or skills. Everything had to be learned from the beginning, from scratch..
