Tang Xuan threw his schoolbag on the bed, picked up the game board on the table and pulled it to the sides.

Click-

Between the two metal strips, a pitch-black virtual screen slowly appeared.

Small gold print: "If the charging progress is less than 30%, you can't start a new game, please be patient." ”

Tang Xuan shook his head: "I'm not here to play a game, I want to ask you, why did [Extremely Ancient] appear in the history of the real world?" ”

The little golden text slowly typed a question mark.

Tang Xuan frowned: "Don't pretend to be confused. ”

The small golden print is slowly output: "Pretend to be confused...... You've been playing this machine for more than three hours, and you've also received [Lingua Franca] and [Trace Stamina], don't you realize the difference of this machine? ”

Tang Xuan was stunned for a moment.

The golden little print continued: "I suggest you go to the Internet and search for an ancient god inscription now. ”

Tang Xuan's eyebrows jumped twice.

The ancient god inscription is a special inscription that is often found in the ruins of ancient gods, and this kind of text engraved on the tablet by ancient humans or ancient gods is completely different from modern writing, which contains characters that are difficult for humans to understand, and the top scholars of linguistics in the federation have only deciphered twenty-three ancient god inscriptions so far.

Tang Xuan turned around and called softly: "Search for the ancient god inscription." ”

As he spoke, the wall he was facing quickly faded from a comforting beige to a deep black.

A search box appears in the center of the wall.

Ancient God Inscription - Search

The flow of information falls like a waterfall, and after a few seconds, the flow freezes, and the walls show a regular search result.

Tang Xuan tapped in the air.

A photo in the corner is zoomed in with a quaint stone monument.

Tang Xuan stared at the stone tablet and read word by word: "In 25466, the ancient god [Molotig] on the border of the Northern Star Domain led the people to invade and started a fierce battle with our god [Yaslington], the war lasted 1,281 years, destroying more than 300,000 stars, both defeated, and both fell into a deep sleep. After that, we continued to fight for our god [Yaslington], and it took 3,527 years to finally annihilate all the followers of [Molotig], cut off the possibility of its recovery, and erected a monument to commemorate it. - Kang. ”

Tang Xuan stared blankly at the stone tablet in the photo, he was sure that he had never touched the words on the stone tablet in the photo at any time, but he knew these words.

Tang Xuan's voice trembled slightly: "The ancient god inscription is the [lingua franca]?" ”

The mission reward turned out to be given to him!

Small golden print: "The lingua franca was created by several first ancient gods, including [Extremely Ancient], and was mastered by the vast majority of ancient gods, and was the language of the ancient gods, which later disappeared with the end of the era of the ancient gods. ”

Tang Xuan pulled down a strand of hair and asked, "What are you?" How much does the ancient god [Extremely Ancient] have to do with me? Are the ancient gods really as strong as the inscriptions describe? Why did their time come to an end? ”

Tang Xuan now has a question mark in his head.

The small golden print replied slowly: "I can only answer two of your four questions." The relationship between [Ancient and Ancient] is similar to that of a doppelganger, but it is not an ordinary doppelganger. The ancient gods of the past are more than described in the inscriptions. The gap between Molotig and Arslington and the top Old Gods is as big as they are ordinary humans. The other two questions are the secrets of the void, which are not at this level that you can explore, please forgive me for not being able to tell. ”

What is the relationship between an approximate doppelganger and a non-doppelganger? How did the gap between the Old Gods and the Old Gods widen? Will the secrets of the void be dead if you listen to them?

After answering in the golden letters, Tang Xuan had more questions in his heart. If he were a game character, his question mark would have covered himself.

Golden print: "Due to the rules of the game, I can't tell you too many things, and before you finish the next game, you can still ask a question, think about it and ask it again." ”

Tang Xuan took a deep breath.

He now has no less than twenty questions.

If you can only ask one......

Tang Xuan said in a deep voice: "What will happen next?" ”

Small gold print: "Very clever question." Starting from 8024 in the new calendar, the ancient gods who have fallen into a deep sleep because of a major event will wake up one after another, and the frequency will become higher and higher, from one a year to one every six months, and then to one every month, and even every day. Almost all of the Old Gods had deep-seated prejudices against humans, and they would do whatever it took to re-enslave them. ”

Tang Xuan's heart sank.

Is this the way the future is headed?

Those ancient gods can destroy hundreds of thousands of stars at every turn, and the federal army is no match at all, is human civilization coming to an end?

Golden print: "They have lost everything, and humanity is more than capable of killing them." It's going to be a long war close to parity, and you're the key to deciding where the scales of victory go towards. ”

Buzz –

The screen vibrates for a moment and then goes off, and a lightning bolt icon representing charging appears in the upper right corner, with a number below the logo: 21%. When this number becomes 100%, Tang Xuan can start a new game, but at that time he is definitely not as relaxed as when he first played.

Tang Xuan's eyebrows were tightly locked.

He didn't question what the golden print was telling him, for he had indeed obtained the lingua franca and was free to read only 23 inscriptions of ancient gods that had been deciphered by anthropologists.

This cannot be faked.

He's worried about the future.

As far as he knew, the most powerful weapon of mankind at present could only destroy one star, and its production was restricted, and the total reserve of the entire Federation did not exceed 3,000.

And those ancient gods are monsters that can destroy 300,000 stars, and the ancient gods of this level are not the strongest. Tang Xuan was sure that even if the ancient gods only had one ten-thousandth of their strength, they would be enough to defeat the Federation's army.

Tang Xuan could only hope that they would be weaker, such as only one billionth of their strength left, otherwise it would not be a 'near-evenly matched' war.

Tang Xuan faced the wall and said, "Search for jobs related to the ancient gods, keyword: fresh graduates." ”

The first few items in the search bar are all advertisements, and the side is a hot event, and at this time, what is pinned to the top is a message called 'Lao Shen Ma Chili Sauce White Prostitution Ten Million Advertising Marketing'.

Tang Xuan swiped his fingers lightly in the air, flipped through seven or eight pages in a row, and finally found the job he wanted.

Researcher at the Institute of Ancient Gods of the Federal Academy of Sciences!

Tang Xuan poked in to see the details.

Every year, the Federal Academy of Sciences recruits new researchers from all over the federal academy to supplement scientific research with new and energetic blood.

The Institute of the Ancient Gods is one of the less popular of the many institutes under the jurisdiction of the Federal Academy of Sciences. The researchers at the Ancient God Research Institute have low salaries, boring jobs, narrow channels for promotion, and entry requirements are as strict as other research institutes, and it takes several years to recruit a person.
