Chapter 8: The Ruins

Helois asked, "Grandpa, you said that Brian is an eighth-generation human, so what does that mean, that experimenter made further improvements?"

"Probably not, the experimenter created the sixth generation of humans, and perhaps thought it was perfect, but he didn't go any further. Dunbar said, "The seventh and eighth generations of human beings, we didn't know about this existence at first, until one day my grandfather Plit, that is, your great-grandfather, discovered the ancient ruins between Chengtian Peak and Broken Heaven Peak in the southwest of the continent, and we learned some secrets and proved that some of our conjectures were correct. ”

"Ancient ruins, just those words that can't be guessed?"

"That's right, your Great Ancestor, since his disillusionment in politics, has devoted himself to exploring the origin of the birth of mankind, and it is important to know where we came from and why we came here. Later, Grandpa Pulit and Mr. Matthew became close friends, they believed that there may be nine ancient ruins on the Lukai continent according to some ancient legends and records, and they found some written records from the ruins in the southwest, but the age of the text was too far away for Mr. Matthew to recognize, and they could only roughly deduce the meaning from the illustrations in the monuments. ”

"Have all nine of my great-grandfather's ruins gone?" Hilois was intrigued.

"No, each ruin only has a rough location, and they are all in relatively remote and dangerous places, which is very difficult to find, and Grandpa Pulit has only found two, one of which is the hole you and Brian found, which has been badly damaged and has almost nothing of value. Dunbar sighed, "Your ancestor hopes that the younger generations will continue this exploration, but unfortunately my father and I have not inherited his legacy. ”

"Can I look at the ancient texts?" Helois had only heard his grandfather mention it before, but had not seen the original.

"Yes, you are an adult, this bookcase of grandpa will be open to you in the future, if you are interested and patient, you may be able to find out what no one has noticed before. Dunbar put it away, searched the bookcase for a while, took out a thin book, and handed it to Helois.

When Helois opened it and saw that it was a hand-drawn ancient text and pattern, with many annotations next to it, she was a little disappointed: "Where is the original?"

Dunbar smiled: "Silly boy, of course the original is gone, think about it, if these words are recorded on paper, I am afraid that they will rot in a few hundred years, how can we see them?"

"What's that record?"

"It's a wonderful device that emits light and is reflected on the wall, but unfortunately it only took a few times and it doesn't shine anymore, but fortunately, Mr. Matthew also drew all the information by hand and made this little book. Dunbar squatted down and took out a small box from the lower part of the cupboard, "It is conceivable that the ancient civilization in the past was probably a hundred times stronger than we are now. ”

Helois saw that Dunbar had a peculiar rusty metal rod in his hand with a few small buttons on it, and she couldn't figure out why this little thing could glow: "Grandpa, is this a magic scroll?"

"It has nothing to do with magic, I can't tell what it is, but if you want to explore the mysteries, you have to be prepared, maybe spend a lifetime, and in the end you won't get anything. Your great-grandfather, that's what he thought. The implication of Dunbar's words is that he has the same opinion, it is better to do something practical. "According to Mr. Matthew's understanding, the ancient civilization tried to tell us whether the bloodline is strong or not, and it is related to the soul, the more advanced the soul, the greater the growth of the acquired nature, and the six generations of human beings, through continuous evolution, become seven generations, or even eight generations of human beings, but the probability of this evolution is very small, and it cannot be quickly promoted, most human beings like me, can only cultivate to the ninth level of the holy realm, which is the limit of a lifetime. ”

"So, the gods on the plane may be some seventh-generation human beings?"

"It's very likely, but we haven't met God, and the conjecture can't be verified in the end. Dunbar said.

"Maybe you'll meet it one day. "You're only seventy years old, after all. ”

"Maybe, I'm looking forward to it. ”

"According to this theory, Brian wants to surpass God, right, he doesn't just surpass you?"

"Yes, as soon as I see him, I can perceive the strength of his soul, unique and unrivaled strength, and his forehead will slightly reveal the color of his soul, of course, people below level seven can't see it at all. "So I decided to protect him, help him, and hopefully he will grow as soon as possible." ”

"But Brian thinks you're taking advantage of him. ”

"It may have been a subtle coincidence, when I was planning to assassinate Alcott, he hadn't shown up yet, and in the end, I had a good ending for him. ”

"Then why not control him, or even ......" Helois was suddenly startled, she felt that she should not have such thoughts.

"Kill him, you're afraid he'll end up with us?" Dunbar shook his head, "You turn to the last page and you'll understand why." ”

Helois adjusted his breathing, flipped to the last page of the booklet, and saw a picture of a monster with teeth and claws fighting a human, and the human seemed so small in front of the monster.

"Perhaps the wise men of the ancient civilizations, worried that we would not be able to read their words, left some images to illustrate the problem, and the monster on this picture is called St. Osstin. ”

"Is it the God of Creation worshiped by the Church of the Stars?"

"Yes, Mr. Matthew believes that the experimenters of ancient civilizations, constantly transforming and evolving human beings, with the aim of raising an eighth generation to deal with St. Ossidine. ”

"What's so terrible about St. Ossibine?"

"If you look closely at this booklet, you will understand that St. Ossidine may be the destroyer of the universe. "But all this is Mr. Matthew's conjecture, and what is going on cannot be known until he can translate all the text." ”

"Some time ago, Brian didn't know where to get some ancient words, and asked me if I recognized them with mirror crystals. "Oh, by the way, what notes did he mention. ”

"Where did he get the ancient writings? It seems that it is necessary to have a good chat with him. ”

"Hmph, if you want to talk to him, I don't want to deal with this unique and only gentleman. Herois spoke in a bad tone.

"Alright, good granddaughter, don't forget that you are also unique and unique, and that man and demon have not been combined before. ”
