Chapter 9: The Glory of the Past: The Energy Transmission Tower

Guiguzi felt that something was wrong, and he squatted on the grass and meditated on an obelisk left by a god.

If one day, I die in the silent mountains and forests in the distance, who will listen to the sound of me dissipating in the wind? Who can inherit my unfulfilled will? Who wants to go to a world I can't reach?

If one day, the beings who come here awaken me, regardless of their wisdom, regardless of their bloodline, whether they accept everything from me or not, I am willing to bless him:

Fate will allow him to gain the will of the world, meet true friends, and experience fantasy adventures like never before!

"What is this...... Guiguzi didn't understand what the situation was, it stands to reason that he couldn't understand this kind of text, why could he understand it in a dream?

Yes, he knew it was a dream, and after shining the lamp of death, he was in a half-comatose and half-conscious state, listening to the sound of Mengqi "Poyo Poyo" and the ticking sound of Hirsch not knowing what he was doing.

After a while, he found himself in a strange space, a cloudless blue sky, verdant pastures that spread into the distance, and the weathered obelisk behind him, all revealing the strangeness of this place.

He heard someone calling his name, "... Guiguzi... Wake up..."

Guiguzi is happy, is it Hirsch?

Wait, this soft voice doesn't look like her at all.

"Poyo Da~ found you!" Suddenly, an ever-expanding purple vortex appeared on the obelisk, and Mengqi jumped out of it, picked him up and spun him in circles.

"You... You will... Can talk? Guiguzi was startled by Mengqi's bear hug, frightened with surprise, and asked a little stumblingly.

"Poyo, this is a dream~" Mengqi picked him up and walked through the maelstrom together, returning to the room where the lamp of death was placed.

There was a blinding white light, and when he rolled down the operating table, the light went out.

Hirsch watched Guiguzi get up suddenly, knowing that he had woken up, he pressed the light, and said with some joy, "It's good to be rescued!" ”

Guiguzi took off his gloves and was a little puzzled, "...... How did I not turn into metal? ”

"Pseudo-miracles are miracles, too, but you're now a blessing in disguise, and you're immune to this radiation."

"Poyo Da~" Mengqi shrunk and asked Hirsch.

Hirsh called up the materials in the research room and put them directly into Mengqi's mind, "Here, you take a look~"

"Poyo!" Mengqi's eyes glowed, and he integrated the data.

"It's ......" Guiguzi looked at Mengqi's ever-changing face, a little strange.

"It wants to know the origin of the Mengqi clan, so I brought it here." Hirsch put away the unused potions and said slowly, "The birth of the Mengqi clan is not a glorious story, they are used for experiments. ”

Guiguzi was stunned for a moment, and said, "I know from the records that the Mengqi clan wanders around the place of origin, and they can freely shuttle through their dreams and feed on the nightmares of travelers. ”

In the great city of the Land of Origin, all strange creatures are known as the Demon Seed, huddled in dark corners waiting to be called.

Mengqi's ancestors, who loved to wander through dreams freely, feared this restraint and were at the same time regarded as useless by those in power, so they were half-forced and half-voluntarily fleeing.

"What kind of experiment is it?"

"Experiments on testing the extraction and transfer of demonic powers, new genetically converted weapons......" Hirsch looked at his serious eyes and chuckled, "Heh, you don't want to know how many experiments they have been used for, and what they do!" ”

Guiguzi's curiosity was raised, "What if I have to know?" ”

"Then I won't tell you either."

"Tsk, excessive!"

After receiving the message, Mengqi threw himself into Hirsch's arms and cried, "Peryo ......"

"......" Hirsch wanted to say something, hesitated for a moment, sighed, patted its body, and comforted it wordlessly.

Guiguzi leaned over, "I'm sad to be like this...... What does it see? ”

Hirsch whispered, "Death ...... of the clansmen"

“!” Guiguzi was taken aback, and Hirsch continued, "Do you want to see how your ancestors were born? ”

"No, the adventure is busy, farewell!" As soon as Guiguzi finished speaking, he remembered that the place he had just arrived at was the King's Canyon a long time ago.

Could it be that when I went to King's Canyon, I activated that mechanism?

Combined with the words on the inscription and his current journey, could it be that he is a creature who has inherited the will of the gods?!

“…… Why are you wandering? Hirsch didn't know what he was thinking, but when he saw that he was ignoring him, he continued to comfort Mengqi.

Mengqi kept replaying those images in his mind, which were the nightmares of the Mengqi clan.

In countless dense glass jars, there are small dreams curled up, and when they grow up, they are pushed into the deep pit by the machine in rows, and are pulled away from the nightmare power by the high-speed rotating machine.

Mengqi, who has lost the power of nightmares, is used as an experimental subject to conduct strange experiments, and from the frightened expressions of his kind, it can feel the pain.

Hirsch said, "Mengqi, the gods are not good beings, and even if the leader tries to make up for this world, it will not help. ”

Hirsch's voice sounded in Mengqi's head, "The Flying Boat Key I left you may be the last bit of sympathy in my heart for this world, after the Ark leaves, you must find those who deserve to survive and take them away from this planet that will be destroyed." ”

“!” Mengqi stopped his tears, looked at Hirsch's serious golden eyes, forgot what to ask, and nodded in a daze, it had a premonition of the coming storm.

Hirsch laughed and turned off the lamp of death.

The next day, Hirsch left the research station with Guiguzi and Mengqi and teleported to the periphery of Wave Valley.

"Alright, let's go." Hirsch urged it, and Monge nodded, keeping up with their speed.

The wind that blew from the sea of winter, blowing through the grass on the leaves, blowing through the ruins scattered on the journey, raised Hirsch's white robe, revealing the red-eyed mask around his waist.

They went out into the forest, and at night they were awakened by the red light under the roots of the trees, and lived in huge mushroom houses, and saw the streams, the blue glass balls that floated on the water, the interlaced roots beneath the water, the strangely shaped clusters of glass, and the stone ball caves covered with green vines and moss......

Picking up the snowflakes falling from the gray sky, Hirsh said, "Winter has arrived, and we're almost at the teleportation array."

They passed by a fallen metal structure, Hirsch said, it was the same high-voltage iron tower in the old world, used to transmit electricity, and in the King Continent, it was to transport the power of the demon path generated by the demon seed.

"Ah, the Demon Seed is generated?" Guiguzi looked at the high-pressure iron tower that had not yet fallen, and was a little puzzled.

Hirsch nodded, "Well, when the Ark came into this world, it encountered a lot of obstacles. ”

In particular, the development of mechanical arts requires more energy to drive stronger commands and weapons, but wind, water, solar, and planetary blood cannot meet the needs of the development of the Ark.

But the Ark did not give up on seeking more extreme power.

"Guiguzi, you should know that there is a mysterious power in this world called the power of the Demon Dao, and what drives it is the knowledge and laws that stipulate the origin of the world."

"After countless failures, we created the Demon Seed, and successfully obtained the power of the Demon Dao from the Demon Seed's body, and teleported through the Energy Tower to reach the Twenty-two Cities."

Since then, the Demon Dao has replaced the fuel of the old earth in another form, becoming the driving force and energy to transform the world.

Guiguzi was silent for a while and asked, "...... Energy Transmission Towers, How Do They Work? ”

He knew that this was how the Mengqi clan Hirsch spoke of was born.

As the energy of the Ark, as a sacrifice of the gods!

"When they are activated, energy bands will be formed between towers, and they will come in all colors."

"In other words, there is more than one kind of demon seed used as an energy source?"

"Well, there are also new humans who have betrayed the Ark and are very powerful, and they will also be extracted from the power of the Demon Dao and turned into energy."

“!” Guiguzi looked at Hirsch's smile and felt very terrifying, even after such a long journey together, deep in her soul, she was still a god of the primeval era.

“…… You don't like to hear that, but that's the way it is. Hirsch looked at Guiguzi's unnatural expression, put away his smile, and said, "You probably don't know that there is a kind of death light weapon that can turn the lockdown area into ashes in an instant. ”

"......" Guiguzi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Since the ark has such a powerful power, why was the giant of the mechanism dismantled by the blue wolf during the great migration?" ”

"Because the leader has failed, he doesn't have access to those weapons, and there's ...... Gold Contract. ”

"Golden Contract?"

"Well, a convention." Hirsch nodded, "The war between the Ark factions is not allowed to be dominated by weapons of mass destruction, and besides, that kind of weapon cannot be used to attack human cities. ”
