Chapter 371: The End of the Calendar
Lin Ye could see the outside through a crack in the wall. This is the deeper part of the castle in the sky.
At this glance, Lin Ye found the core circuit of the castle in the sky.
Inside was a small, isolated room, densely covered with bright golden runes. These circuits are in the millions, and they cover each other and intertwine, but there is no short circuit. These circuits, which extend from the floor of the house to the depths, control the flight and internal functioning of the transparent castle and are the processing centers of the castle in the air.
In the middle of the processing center stands a translucent stele, from which all the circuit runes come from, and they outline a bizarre symbol on it, these symbols are neatly arranged on the tablet, each symbol represents a different meaning and has a different shape. Some symbols are combined to form a distinctive word.
Forestry who has learned the runes of circuits is able to recognize almost all of the symbolic meanings.
"It's flying, it's landing, there's invisibility. Lin Ye looked at the first symbol, then at the second and third symbols. Obviously, these symbols act on the castle in the air where Lin Ye stands.
In the room lay three clumps of white ashes, one of which had paw prints left by the alien. Aliens have been in here. The mass of ashes was missing a lot, and it seemed to have been swallowed by the alien. The remaining ashes are faintly light blind, and there seems to be some natural breath left. In addition to this, Lin Ye also saw that the ashes seemed to be attached to some souls that had lost consciousness. These souls have nowhere to go, gradually dissipating in the vicissitudes of time, but there is still a little bit left.
"Host, you can use these soul fragments to complete control of the castle in the sky. ”
The sound of the system came to Lin Ye's ears in due course.
What should I do?Lin Ye was stunned for a moment, and then tried to take over control of the castle in the sky according to the system's suggestion.
He used his psychic power to wrap the soul on a handful of ashes and place it on the tablet in the processing center. The bone meal wrapped in spiritual power did not react, but the soul attached to the bone meal seeped into the runes along the surface of the stele.
The runes of the flying circuit on the stele lit up. Lin Ye suddenly felt the floor shake, and his body suddenly lost its center of gravity and almost fell to the ground.
"It worked!" the system shouted.
Lin Ye touched his head, and after the ground shook, there were no new changes around him.
The castle in the air has begun to fly at a constant speed, while Lin Ye and the castle in the castle are in a relatively static state, so naturally they can't detect any new changes.
Lin Ye touched his head, he had already found that the ashes in his hand had become useless. The soul contained in it has been transmitted to the depths of the castle along the circuit on the tablet.
Without the souls of those orcs, Lin Ye could no longer gain any authority to control the castle in the sky.
"In addition to the orcs, there is also a person who can control the castle in the sky. ”
"Oh, you said that guy!" Lin Ye's eyes lit up, he knew who the system was referring to.
Lin Ye left the processing center, and after three minutes, Lin Ye carried the alien who had fainted in on his back. The alien hadn't woken up yet, and after Lin Ye reached out and lit a small flame on it, the burning pain caused by the flame made the alien suddenly widen his eyes and roll on the ground and scream.
"Go! Let me see if you can control the castle?" Lin Ye tied the alien to the control tablet, and the alien continued to struggle, never willing to cooperate with Lin Ye's actions, and did not activate the circuit rune on the control tablet.
Looks like we're going to have to get this xenomorph to work with it.
The alien was too noisy, and its constant howl constantly stimulated Lin Ye's mind, making it impossible for Lin Ye to calm down.
Lin Ye, who was tireless, took out a natural stone from his arms and stuffed it into the alien's mouth, directly blocking its mouth. The alien who was originally roaring was immediately gagged by the natural stone, and he couldn't scream. And Lin Yeye was purified and began to be able to think about the transformation of the alien.
Obviously, this alien body transformed from a human has undergone an extremely serious mutation, he is not a spirit creature, and the mutation of the body will cause great damage to his soul, just like a girl wearing small shoes, the shoes are small, and they become unsuitable for their own feet, which in turn will affect the development of the skeleton of their feet.
The alien soul, like its body, has been distorted, and this process of distortion has lasted for an unknown number of years, but it has long been set in shape, causing irreversible damage to its soul.
The mutilated soul has an instinctive tendency to instinctively look for ways to heal itself, and when this is reflected on its own body, the alien will produce a simple and brutal behavior, which is to eat its own kind.
"It's not about what to eat and what to make up~......" Lin Ye patted his head helplessly.
No matter how complete the soul is, after being absorbed by the alien, it will only be assimilated by the alien soul, although it still retains the characteristics of being the same kind of person, but it is impossible to cure the alien itself.
When a glass of water and a piece of ice are mixed together, it will not become two pieces of ice, but will gradually become two glasses of water. The alien soul is that glass of water, and the soul of the same kind is that ice.
Because of the xenomorph's brutal behavior, the xenomorph is constantly looking for its own kind, and although its own body is irreversible, its instinct is still prompting it to devour the souls of its kind.
"Wait!" a flash of light flashed through Lin Ye's mind. "System, doesn't this mean that half-orcs and humans have a certain origin. ”
"They all look like people, they are all mammals, no one can say for sure......" The system has a sloppy eye in this regard, whether there is a relationship between the two, perhaps only the will of the world knows.
It's almost impossible to have a good conversation with the alien.
A polluted soul, a distorted body, it shouldn't exist in this world in the first place.
The irreversible soul injury on the alien's body is almost misunderstood, and if there is a cure, there may be only one, and that is to let it join the Phoenix civilization, let the Phoenix civilization give full play to its "ideal hometown" characteristics, and slowly restore the alien to its original appearance.
"If something goes wrong, maybe this alien will die on the spot. In Lin Ye's view, the alien is no longer the degree of mutation on its body, it has become synonymous with "mutation", and to eliminate the mutation on its body is equivalent to erasing it from reality.
Lin Ye raised his head and looked at the alien who was in great pain, he swallowed a few saliva and slowly put his hand on the alien's head.
With a cool spiritual force, it seeped into it along the alien's head. The alien's struggle suddenly stopped.
In the castle in the sky, Lin Ye's storage space could not be opened, but fortunately, Lin Ye carried a badge full of the power of faith, and he called up the power of faith from the badge and began to establish a contract with the alien.
The alien that had been quiet became restless again, two openings were cracked in its back, and two fleshy hands stretched out from the shoulder blades on its back, the speed of these fleshy hands was amazing, and they directly choked Lin Ye's neck, as if they were resisting.
Lin Ye's body suddenly turned into a flame, and the grasp of the fleshy hand fell directly into the air, and it waved wildly in a flame, as if it wanted to grab something.
A creature that had not yet stepped into the spiritual realm was not Lin Ye's opponent at all, and even as long as Lin Ye was serious, the other party would not be able to touch Lin Ye.
"Calm down!" Lin Ye shouted at the alien. A ball of flame quickly enveloped the alien's shoulder blades under Lin Ye's control, and then directly burned the alien's fleshy hand to ashes.
Lin Ye didn't know that just as he was trying to establish a contract with the aliens as a member of the civilization, outside the Castle in the Sky, there were bursts of thunder in the sky, and a huge momentum shattered out of the space, and they roared and crashed into the Castle in the Sky, like an ancient guard holding a giant sword, wanting to destroy the Castle in front of him with one blow.
The Castle in the Sky stood still under the attack of the will of the world, and it flew slowly in the air, its transparent shell disappearing and appearing unscathed under the slash of thunder and lightning.
The reaction of the world's will far exceeded that of Lin Ye when he became a spirit realm creature. It was as if Lin Ye's inclusion of the alien in the Phoenix Civilization had completely violated the reverse scale of the world's will.
If it weren't for the isolation effect of the castle in the sky, the reaction of the will of the world would be more than ten times stronger than it is now.
By mistake, Lin Ye completed an impossible task without knowing it.
As the power of faith melted into the alien's soul, the alien's restlessness finally calmed down, and its ugly black eyes opened, and fine cracks appeared on its hairless and bare skin, which then fell off.
The wound on the back of the shoulder blade, which originally had only two black blood holes, not only did not heal, but was rapidly expanding.
Just as Lin Ye thought in his heart, there was no place on the alien's body that had not undergone an anomaly, and now that his body was purified, it was destroying his life.
Lin Ye took a deep breath, he had a way to stop the death of the alien. When he decided to accept the alien as a member of the Phoenix Civilization, Lin Ye was already ready for this.
First of all, what Lin Ye did was to protect the soul of the alien.
Lin Ye's soul can become a protective film, wrapped around the alien soul, preventing the alien soul from spontaneously dissipating due to the destruction of the body.
Alien souls will also be purified, so Lin Ye needs to find another suitable body so that the alien soul can be protected by the body.
This body, uh-huh~
Lin Ye turned his head to look at the control monument in the processing center.
I don't know if it's useful or not.
The alien's body quickly dissipated, just as the corpses on the ground were scattered into ashes. Lin Ye, on the other hand, slowly put the alien soul into the control tablet. Bright lights were transmitted along the circuitry of the control monument.
Soon, the wrapped alien soul was all poured into the control tablet by Lin Ye, and the circuit runes on the control tablet began to flash irregularly, as if they had fallen into a state of short circuit. After the alien soul entered the control monument, and disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea, after waiting for ten minutes, Lin Ye never reconnected with the alien.
"Failed?" Lin Ye said.
"No, there is no failure!" the system said, "Look at the energy core in the back!"
Looking back, Lin Ye found that the suspended energy core in the room behind him had stopped pulsating. I don't know when it started, thousands of mechanical lizards raised their heads and looked at the energy core above, they surrounded the energy core, and the tail flicked around behind them.
Far from becoming dead, the energy cores that had stopped beating were more alive than they had been. What was previously a bright and dark pulsation is now a constant light.
The previously disconnected connection was restored. After the alien souls were transferred along the circuit of the control monument, they all finally gathered at the energy core. It has become the master of the castle in the air, and this floating castle is its new body.
"Can you hear me?" Lin Ye paused and said tentatively.
The energy core does not have the slightest movement, it does not have the ability to think on its own. After suffering irreversible damage, the alien soul has long since lost all its memories, like a sleeping vegetative person.
Lin Ye can use the power of faith to directly take over the consciousness of the alien. Because of this, Lin Ye indirectly gained control of the castle in the sky through the alien, which meant that the castle was already owned by him.
Just after Lin Ye's consciousness entered the energy core, he was able to get a glimpse of the internal structure of the entire aerial castle.
This is a castle in the air designed by orcs to receive foreign guests, and in an archive composed of runic circuits, Lin Ye found a circuit archive that was not destroyed.
"The empty castle is used to receive forbidden area apostles, and cannot be used in other areas, and cannot be used privately. Although Lin Ye didn't understand the text of the circuit file, Lin Ye understood its meaning the moment he saw the text. These words will automatically be translated into what Lin Ye wants based on the knowledge in Lin Ye's mind.
"The last time the air protection was used in the thirtieth year of the calendar at the end of the Jurassic era, when the disaster was coming, and the forbidden area was blocked. The empty castle has lost its usefulness, and the people must pass the ascension ceremony as soon as possible and step into the path of ascension. There were many blurred words in the middle of the circuit file, and Lin Ye could only find some scattered and valuable fragments from them.
"Forbidden Zone, Apostle, Ascending All, Calamity?" several question marks popped up on Lin Ye's head.
The forbidden area should be the forbidden place now, and the ascension of the whole people should be that all members of the civilization have stepped into the soul realm. But what are the apostles? Are they intelligent beings in the forbidden zone?
Lin Ye also found a place name in the circuit file, and this area pointed straight to a forbidden place to the west. It seems that there is an answer there to explain it all.
