Chapter 514: "Ancestor of Life"

The so-called "holy coffin" is not actually a coffin, but a black box with a side length of one meter and a height of less than half a meter. The box was made of unknown material, and its surface was engraved with dark red ancient runes, and several straight notches split the top half of the box into several large and small polygons, making it appear as if it was made up of many parts.

It was smaller than Hao Ren expected.

The chamber where the coffin is stored is located in the middle of the cavern, guarded by hundreds of knights and monks, and the stone house itself is molded by the most powerful earth magicians, ensuring that even the tentacles of the eldest son can withstand one or two. The four corners of the stone house are equipped with powerful magic weapons that transmit the magical energy of the monastery on the surface to the surrounding coffin, and the four walls of the stone house are also hung with thick scripture blankets, which in addition to serving as a protective effect, can also amplify a certain bioelectric signal released from the holy coffin: perhaps after the death of the original tissue in the box, the facilities in the stone house can delay the suppression signal for a day or two.

There weren't many people in the stone house, so only Haoren, Vivien, Oprah, and Archbishop Auburn walked in. Hao Ren looked at the black box curiously, and placed his hand on its surface, feeling warm in his hand, not like cold rock or metal. Of course, it is also possible that some kind of "creature" in the box heated the device. He patted his pocket and called out the number jΓΉ terminal: "Can you feel anything?" ”

"There are very complex signals emitted from the container, including three frequencies of electromagnetic waves and some other types of clutter," the number jΓΉ terminal circled around the "holy coffin," "which is a signal transmitter." It's constantly sending signals to quiet the big guy next to us. ”

Archbishop Auburn looked curiously at the small blue slabs floating in the air, but considering the incredible strength and skill of the aliens. He did not comment on this "alchemy device" that seemed to have a human nature. Ophra hurriedly asked, "Can you replicate this signal?" ”

"Then at least we'll have to actually touch it and get some tissue samples or something." The terminal flickered, "It's easy to simulate the electromagnetic waves emitted by the holy coffin with a purely technological device, but this kind of thing involving the occult ...... This machine feels that it should be checked carefully. ”

Hao Ren looked at Archbishop Auburn: "Can you open this?" ”

The runes on Archbishop Auburn's head flickered, which was a sign of intense thinking, but before leaving, the Pope had already personally asked him to cooperate with the "research activities" of the foreigners, so after some thought, he nodded: "Yes." But be careful, it's irreplaceable. ”

As he spoke, the archbishop placed his hand on the top of the coffin and whispered an ancient scripture. With the sound of chanting, the runes and lines on the surface of the coffin gradually brightened, and then the lid of the container cracked into several parts along the straight lines, slowly floating up and scattering in all directions.

In the container is a large mass of ...... Something hard to describe.

It was a strange dark red, biologically organistic mass with a hint of plant-like green. The strange mass of tissue as a whole looked like several animal embryos connected from end to end, with a faint light flickering slowly in its depths. There was also about a third of the thick red liquid in the container, the texture was quite close to "source blood", and the strange biological tissue was soaked in it.

However, despite the strange appearance of the fluid and biological tissue, it does not give people any disgusting feeling. They exude an uncanny reassuring atmosphere, even with a certain sense of holiness: this is the substance of the origin of life, even something older than the firstborn.

"This is the Ancestor of Life...... "Ophra whispered, as if she was afraid of waking up the mass." It's the first time I've seen it. ”

"I had the privilege of seeing it once, one hundred and fifty years ago," Archbishop Auburn frowned. "It was a little bit more active then than it is now."

"It's dying," the number jΓΉ terminal quickly concluded. "It's an organ that has been cut off...... Or an organ that sheds itself in some normal evolutionary process. In short, it is incomplete anyway. The main part has disappeared, and this part of the organ is gradually failing. ”

Vivien frowned, "What was it supposed to do?" ”

The number jΓΉ terminal scanned the structure of the "progenitor of life" in more detail: "It may be the ganglia of the original seed, the part used to give orders and receive commands, and the machine finds that it has a powerful ability to send and receive information, like a powerful relay antenna. At the same time, it also has a certain ability to think and judge...... But this part of the functionality is already necrotic. It's amazing how the first seed can survive for so long after its organs have been separated from its body......"

Hao Ren instantly grasped a key word: "Accept the order?!" What orders are accepted? ”

"The machine doesn't know, the machine just scans. It has an antenna-like structure, and it can communicate faster than light by sight," the number of terminals fell back on Hao Ren's shoulder, "perhaps at the behest of the goddess of creation." You said that the original seed was released by the goddess to observe the starry sky, so this thing must have a communication function, and after flying to the destination, fax a photo of your creator and send two videos or something......"

Hao Ren's eyes immediately rested on the mass of biological tissue, and he couldn't move away. He thought it was just a simple suppressor, but he didn't expect it to be the ganglion of the original seed, let alone an antenna!

But it's normal to think about it, if the illusion he once saw was true, then the purpose of the Goddess of Creation was to observe the starry sky, so these primordial seeds must have the ability to communicate - the antenna of the seed was sealed in the coffin!

But now is definitely not the time to take this thing back to study, Hao Ren shook his head and calmed down: "Let's see if we can copy this thing first, or figure out the mechanism of its suppression of the eldest son." ”

"If you want to do it, you have to do the whole set, don't just copy the signals, we need to make a clone, and that requires a little bit of tissue sample." Seeing this situation, Archbishop Auburn immediately subconsciously blocked in front of the holy coffin, his face full of nervousness: "You can't destroy ......"

"Just extracting a few cells won't kill it," said Douburn, "this thing is more resilient than you think, and even if it's in its last years, it's healthier than you." ”

As he spoke, the terminal had already floated above the group, but then it stopped there and didn't move, and Hao Ren looked at it for a few seconds before he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" Questions? ”

The number of jΓΉ terminal stingers flew back all of a sudden: "Mother's chicken, this machine forgot that you don't have hands!" This machine is a PDA, which door probe is there! ”

Hao Ren: "......"

In the end, it was the almighty autonomous machinery in Hao Ren's space that collected the samples of the "Ancestor of Life" and sealed them in a special container that could keep the biological tissues alive. This container is standard for censors, and is used to collect carbon-based biological specimens from a strange world or to serve overnight dishes - well, there is no second function in the instructions, but Hao Ren developed the use of it himself and said it worked.

Archbishop Auburn was already surprised by the strange things that Hao Ren had pulled out.

"The equipment on the Giant Tortoise Rock Platform should be able to replicate this thing, but it won't solve the fundamental problem," Hao Ren crossed his waist and looked at the huge tentacles on the side of the cave, "I still have to find a way to kill this thing." Clean and thorough, and ......"

"And it's best not to make too much of a noise," Ophora pointed to the feet of the group, "This is the ground on the west side of Sunset Volcan, and the nearest lava pillar is only a few hundred meters away. Each Magic Emperor has a different way of suppressing the eldest son, the Dragonspine Mountains use mountains to form cages, and those stone giants, and this is the use of magma. There are huge pillars of magma around several of the firstborn's key organs, and deep beneath our feet is the world's largest lava lake, and an elemental flame in the crater of the Sunset Mountains suppresses these underground fires to prevent them from accidentally erupting or awakening the firstborn, but if you ...... like last time"

"Railshelling would destroy the magma system, the continental shelf would collapse, at least half of Holleta would have a mass extinction, and if the rock vapor entered the atmospheric circulation, more than a third of life on the entire planet would be extinct," she said, "and the machine's radar showed that the area was completely covered in intricate lava flows, and those magma columns and magma rivers wrapped the eldest son like a net, apparently man-made. ”

Hao Ren opened his mouth: "...... Then I'll have to use my brain. (To be continued......)
