Chapter 13: The Depths

Mo Yuan tried his best to swim and wanted to return to the sea, but he was dragged by the shadow under his feet, and kept dragging him to the depths of the sea. Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from the bright sea, the surroundings gradually darkened, and the cold water surrounded him. Mo Yuan felt that his body was being squeezed, especially in his ear canal, nose and lungs, and the pain was getting more and more intense. "What's going on?" Mo Yuan thought quickly while his consciousness had not yet been lost, "Doesn't it mean that the dream world constructed by the empirical system is in line with the laws of nature? But what I'm experiencing now clearly breaks those rules. Whew, it's all around and it looks like I'm going to die because I can't breathe. Hey, after returning to the real world, I want to ask Wu Xin where I was connected, one, it is not the target location we agreed upon, and second, there are dreams in the experience system that violate the laws of the real world. The more Mo Yuan thought about it, the more excited he became, he choked on his own saliva, accidentally coughed, swallowed a few mouthfuls of seawater, just when Mo Yuan panicked, he suddenly found that his dizziness caused by lack of oxygen was much better, "This is?" Mo Yuan tried to inhale the seawater through his nose, although it was liquid, but Mo Yuan was very sure that it was oxygen, to be precise, it contained oxygen. Mo Yuan gradually adapted to breathing seawater, and his mind regained his sobriety.

The shadow under his feet was no longer as stiff as before, but like a guide, guiding him to the bottom of the sea. In the depths of the sea, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything, but there was a faint light that surrounded Mo Yuan, so that he could vaguely see the guidance of the shadow, and followed them, constantly swimming to the bottom of the sea.

Suddenly, light came from the depths of the seabed, forming an image, and the image gradually moved, and the black seabed was like a curtain.

Several primitive people were hunting, close cooperation, so that they finally surrounded the prey, the primitive people carrying the prey slowly walked into the distance, more and more blurred figures suddenly turned into strange shapes carved on the suddenly appeared on the stone slab, the stone slab appeared one after another strange shapes, slowly, these shapes have a regularity, like an ancient cuneiform script.

Mo Yuan looked at these strange words, and wanted to look closely, but the image disappeared.

At this point, he found that he had reached the bottom of the sea, and the surrounding water, along with the shadows of the guides, had disappeared for some time. Mo Yuan couldn't help but raise his head, and it was impossible to tell whether it was the sky or the ocean in front of him.

Mo Yuan suddenly felt as if he had stepped on something, and when he looked at it, it was a human skeleton, lying calmly on the bottom of the sea, Mo Yuan couldn't help but carefully observe the surroundings, Mo Yuan found that there was a collapsed temple not far away, and he walked over slowly. On the broken wall, there are also engraved words that I have just seen, but they are also impossible to read. There are many bronze objects scattered around the sculpture in the center of the temple, which resembles a goddess praying. In the distance to the left of the temple, there were some huge stones, erected and in a circle, and Mo Yuan decided to go there to have a look. Along the way, Mo Yuan saw some broken stone houses, with paved floors, which were obviously quite elegantly decorated at the time.

The circle of stone blocks finally appeared in front of Mo Yuan, and in the center of this circle of huge stones, there was a small stone slab, standing quietly. There was nothing on the slate, it was very smooth, and Mo Yuan couldn't help but reach out and want to touch it. "It's really smooth," Mo Yuan said to himself, "But what does this do?" Just as he was thinking, words appeared on the slate, "I can't read this kind of text, it's a pity," as he spoke, Mo Yuan suddenly felt that he could understand the meaning of those words, this experience was amazing, he still didn't know how to read this kind of words, how to pronounce them, but he knew the meaning, as if their meanings automatically entered his brain.

A powerful country, inhabited by primitive humans who have appeared since the birth of the earth, with a large population and a developed civilization. The god of the sky descended on the nation and married one of the women and gave birth to seven children. God divided the nation into seven parts, each ruled by seven children. The country as a whole is rich in unlimited resources, wildlife and precious metals, and has a thriving population. Everywhere there are huge and beautiful palaces, shrines, piers, and a network of bridges and canals that connect the different areas.

The relationship between the seven children, the seven rulers, is governed by a moral code that is remembered by the gods in the sky. "They must not fight each other against each other, and they must assist either side when attacked. ”

The seven rulers possessed power and glory, and their ego desires soon swelled, and they decided to conquer the temple of God. Unwilling to succumb to the egoism of its rulers, a part of the inhabitants of the country left the country and soon multiplied all over the earth, where the heritage of arts and crafts, philosophical and scientific, moral and religious, was preserved and passed on to future generations. And the futile struggle of those seven rulers only brought the destruction of the country in the end. The god in the sky also left this world and never appeared again.

Suddenly, the words on the slate disappeared, and the slate shattered and scattered to the ground. The ground began to shake, the pitch-black sea water fell from the "sky", and in just a moment, it submerged this ancient city, Mo Yuan soon couldn't breathe, there was no light around him, the huge pressure made his bones all over his body fall apart, and the severe pain made him lose consciousness.
