As that dull voice rang out, the darkness surrounding Zhou Yulong turned into pieces like shattered glass. Space is reversed, time is reversed. A huge garden shrine began to slowly take shape around Zhou Yulong. And Zhou Yulong's body finally turned into substance with the formation of the temple.

The temple is made of countless vines and flowers, and a variety of plants are the only materials used to construct the temple. The space of the temple is small, but it is also large. Obviously, it didn't look like a room the size of a basketball court, but it gave Zhou Yulong an endless sense of dislocation. This bizarre feeling made him very confused. He didn't know where he was or what he was about to face.

"After two epochs and countless years, I have finally waited for you - the Avengers." Just when Zhou Yulong was full of doubts, the dull voice sounded again. Then, on the altar in the center of the temple, a bench made of flowers and vines suddenly appeared. On the bench, there was a white-bearded old man wearing a green leaf coat.

The appearance of the white-bearded old man is somewhat similar to the elf in the novel, with long pointed ears and a handsome face. Although the white beard reaches the ground, it still exudes a charm that has been precipitated over the years. This unique charm, even a big man like Zhou Yulong, couldn't help but be stunned.

"Avengers? What is that? Looking at the white-bearded old man lying lazily on the bench, Zhou Yulong frowned and asked, "Who are you?" Did you get me here? ”

"Avenger, don't worry, I'll explain it to you slowly." Looking at Zhou Yulong with a solemn face, the white-bearded old man on the bench still said slowly, and then... He stopped talking.

Time, slowly passing by...

"I'll rub your sister, didn't you say to explain it to me?" Looking at the sleepy old man on the bench, Zhou Yulong burned with rage, and then strode towards the altar. But as soon as he took two steps, a huge force like Mount Tai completely suppressed him, making him unable to move at all.

"The Avenger's temper is really so hot-tempered." Hearing Zhou Yulong's scolding, the white-bearded old man raised his eyelids, glanced at Zhou Yulong, and said, "Don't worry, I'll explain to you slowly." I believe that after listening to my words, the doubts in your heart will disappear. ”

"Well, I'd like to hear what you have to say." The huge difference in strength made Zhou Yulong have to suppress the anger in his heart and stand in place waiting for the old man's explanation.

And then, time still passed...

"Ahem, I didn't expect that after the Heart Refining Pass, your patience is still so poor." Finally, just as Zhou Yulong was about to erupt, the old man opened his eyes again and said, "Please forgive an old man for his sluggishness, countless years of loneliness have made my consciousness about to disappear." It's not easy for me to be able to recall the past now. I think that kind of feeling, you must have also felt it in the heart refining level. ”

"Countless years have passed... Loneliness of consciousness? Hearing the old man's words, Zhou Yulong couldn't help but recall the inhuman torture he had experienced in the dark. The boundless loneliness made him shudder, and at the same time, his anger against the old man slowly extinguished.

"Hehe, you seem to know how it feels." Looking at Zhou Yulong, who was slowly calming down, the white-bearded old man nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a look of reminiscence: "First of all, I will introduce myself first. I, called Carlos, am the last Muria on the blue planet. Or rather, the remnants of the consciousness of the last Muria on the planet. ”

"The Murians?" The name that Carlos said sounded a little familiar to Zhou Yulong's ears, but even with a permanent memory, it was difficult for him to find this glimpse of the name from the boundless memory in his brain.

"Yes, the Muria people, the rulers of the Muria civilization and the rulers of the blue planet in the Third Age." The old man nodded and said with a sigh: "It's just that our civilization was destroyed by the Atlanteans, the rulers of the Fourth Age. ”

"Muriya civilization? The civilization that excels at harnessing the energy of plants! Hearing the old man's words, the ephemeral information of Muria's civilization instantly emerged from Zhou Yulong's mind,

The Muria civilization is the civilization of the third age of the earth as speculated by the Mayan prophecy, also known as the biological civilization. It is a continuation of the Fugitives of the Misopotamian Civilization of the Second Age. The ancestors of the Mesopotasian civilization intensified their research after experimenting with the discovery that plants produce tremendous energy during germination and growth. And the continuation of their civilization, the Muria civilization, has pushed biological civilization to the highest peak. Legend has it that they created many machines that could harness plant energy and bioenergy, and these machines could amplify the power of plants and living sources to create powerful destructive power. However, this civilization was sunk by the continent in the later period, and the remaining fugitives were wiped out by alien colonists in the process of rebuilding the civilization. And the most coincidental thing is that this alien colonial civilization is also the civilization of the Fourth Age - the Atlantean civilization.

"I can't believe that there are still people who remember our once glorious Muria civilization." Hearing Zhou Yulong's words, the white-bearded old man Carlos suddenly lowered his head, sighed heavily, and said, "But this is only a matter of the past. Our civilization could have been revived like grass under a wildfire after the catastrophe, but it was the alien colonists who not only took over our beautiful planet, but also destroyed our heritage fire. Saying this, Carlos suddenly raised his head, and a scorching hatred gleam burst into his cloudy eyes, and said, "However, these vile alien colonists would never have imagined that our great prophet Muria had already known what would happen from the foreshadowing of nature. Therefore, before our civilization is extinct, we have sealed the greatest scientist of the Muria civilization, that is, me, Carlos, into the greatest inheritance vessel of our Muria civilization, in the hope that one day, the Muria civilization can be revived again and dominate the earth. ”

"But then why has the inheritance of your Muria civilization not yet appeared?" Hearing Carlos's words, Zhou Yulong couldn't help frowning. If he remembers correctly, there are very few accounts of the Muria civilization in the Mayan prophecies. Moreover, there is no sign that the civilization of Muria will be revived after the civilization of Atlantis.

"Well, fate is like a rushing river, and we are the fish in the river. Although the Prophet jumped out of the river to see what was going on, no one knew if our fish would be swept away somewhere else in a divert. Carlos still sighed, "Although we have created the Inheritance Flame and the Inheritance Vessel, we will be able to revive our civilization in the future. But no one expected that the hateful alien colonists would actually use weapons of mass destruction against us. In a violent explosion, our Flame of Legacy and our people were completely destroyed. I'm the only one left, waiting in this prison-like vessel of inheritance. ”

"I kind of see what you mean. Your legacy vessels are like cloning machines, and the Legacy Flame is your DNA. Your civilization will only be revived if the Inheritance Flame and the Inheritance Vessel are combined, right? Zhou Yulong touched his chin thoughtfully and asked, "But your inheritance fire has been destroyed, so this inheritance container should be useless now." So how the hell did you bring me into this heritage vessel? Also, why do you call me the Avenger? ”

"The Inheritance Container is actually the crystal nucleus you have embedded in your body." Hearing Zhou Yulong's question, Carlos was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "Actually, the inheritance container has two functions. First, it is used to incubate the flame of inheritance. Second, it is used to impart knowledge to those who have risen from the fire. And now, although the flame of our heritage has been extinguished, it is no longer possible to revive our people. But the knowledge within the Legacy Container is still there, and we need to find an Avenger to help us take revenge on the Atlantean civilization. And you are our choice. ”

"Why me?" Hearing the old man's words, Zhou Yulong's face sank and asked, "I don't think I'm a person with amazing bones and talents." If I'm not mistaken, your Legacy Vessel has been around for countless years. Why didn't you raise the Avengers to fight Atlantis during this time? ”

"Kid, the Avengers' selection is far harsher than you think." Looking at Zhou Yulong's gloomy face, Carlos shook his head lightly and said, "In the era of Atlantis civilization, almost all intelligent beings were exterminated by Atlantis. Without sapient beings as hosts, the Inheritance Container cannot play any role. And when the Atlantean civilization fell silent because of its own trouble, our Muria civilization also temporarily lost the object of revenge, and there was no need and no possibility to look for an avenger. Although, over the years, there have been many intelligent beings who have obtained the inheritance container, but they either do not have enough energy to open the container, or they can't pass the heart refining level after opening the container, and their consciousness disappears in the boundless darkness, and finally they become ignorant and unconscious living dead. ”

"Enough energy?" Zhou Yulong recalled the two bottles of meteorite essence that burst in his body, and then asked with a cold face, "I probably know what kind of energy opened the inheritance container. It's just that why did you forcibly put me in the heart refining level? If I can't get through, wouldn't it be a dead end? ”

"Hehe, child, although you entered the Heart Refining Pass because of fate, if you can't pass it, then I'm afraid that no one will be able to pass it." Looking at Zhou Yulong, who was full of indignation, Carlos smiled slightly and said, "First of all, in your time, the Atlanteans have begun to recover, and our Muria civilization has a revenge object, so it will be much less difficult to refine the heart." Otherwise, you will not only face darkness, but countless illusions. Secondly, you hate the Atlanteans, and this hatred satisfies the most important conditions for our inheritance vessel to carry out inheritance. And the last point is because, if I don't look for the Avenger to inherit, I'm afraid that my consciousness that has been alone in the container for countless years and is about to disappear will never have a chance again. ”
