Divine Tribulation of the Star Civilization - Chapter 1098
[1098. Lost Kingdom]
Rosehill only has a fifth-level spiritual power domain, but her power can only be attached to Quintasha. In other words, she only shares a part of Quintasha’s power, which is the so-called possessed body.
But this also shows that Quintessa’s true strength is actually more powerful.
Here, after listening to Zhuge Yun’s words, Luo Zexier didn’t look at him. Instead, she kept looking at Quintasha beside her and suddenly fell silent.
Zhuge Yun also turned to look at Quintasha, and saw a gloomy expression on his face. He hesitated to speak, as if he had something to say.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you inside.”
Quintasha raised his head and glanced at the huge black tower. At this moment, the deep blue-green water floated above them like a ghost.
Soon, the three of them arrived in front of a tall building in the center of the city.
This building looks very ancient and magnificent, like a temple. On the stone bases on both sides stand giant statues of the same ferocious figure, with hands raised and tightly nailed together by strange shackles.
Needless to say, you can tell from the shape of her face that it is exactly what Quintessa’s human body looks like.
Zhuge Yun glanced at the sculpture and said nothing. He immediately scanned the inside of the temple with his spiritual consciousness and found something.
Amidst the creaking sound of rolling metal, Rozehir pushed open the stone door that weighed several tons. The heavy door slowly slid open along the guide rails, and the three of them stepped into the temple.
Entering the interior of the building is immediately eye-opening. There are all kinds of strange metal products inlaid everywhere, and even the gaps in the ceiling dozens of meters high are inlaid with gold rims. Altars, furniture, tables and chairs, stone steps, door frames, and all kinds of unknown utensils, you can tell at a glance that they are a place for prayer.
These discoveries surprised Zhuge Yun because he knew that these were all alloy materials.
The smelting and production technology of metal products is superb, mixing more than a dozen metals such as lead, copper, silver, and even radioactive minerals such as uranium, molybdenum and cobalt, but each alloy contains a large amount of gold elements.
Gold, silver, and copper are all metallic elements that are grouped together by the weight and number of their atoms; they share similar crystallographic, chemical, and physical properties—all are flexible, malleable, and ductile .
Of all the known elements, they are the best conductors of heat and electricity on Earth.
Among them, gold is the most durable and difficult to destroy. Although the most common uses of gold are as currency or jewelry and some handicrafts, its use in the electronic systems of more advanced civilizations is extremely valuable.
A cutting-edge society needs gold as an important component in microelectronic systems, such as the “brains” of computers. These gold alloys played an important role in the construction of tabernacles and their electronic components, but are now used only to decorate temples.
Zhuge Yun used his spiritual consciousness to scan the symbols and words on the wall, and a lot of complex information automatically appeared in his mind.
During the Mu Continent, the place where mines gathered was first known as the “Land of Waters with Shining Mineral Veins”. The gold is under the river, and it can also be obtained from the sea. This seems to confirm Zhuge Yun’s judgment that Quintessa has the ability to control metal elements.
In the center opposite the temple is a huge black wall, already mottled and covered with mycelium.
However, both sides of the black wall seemed to have been grandly decorated. They were also made of gold, and patterns of flowers and plants and carved patterns of rare birds and animals could be seen everywhere.
Regardless of the architectural style or craftsmanship, it has a slightly exotic flavor. Everything is very exquisite, giving people a sense of vicissitudes of life. At the same time, it also shows the producer’s superb craftsmanship and artistic quality.
“Yes, these are very interesting…” Zhuge Yun murmured.
He took a rough look at it, but his consciousness was always exploring the bottom of the ground.
In fact, he had already seen the space hidden under the ground, but he remained silent and looked elsewhere. He wanted to test it and see if Quintessa could explain it all herself.
Although it has existed for an unknown number of centuries, the building has not been greatly damaged, with only some wear and tear. In fact, almost the entire city is perfectly preserved, and this building looks as if it is older than the others.
No matter what era, human beings seem to like to leave some records on stones. I am afraid that this is also something engraved in human genes and bones.
As Zhuge Yun expected, soon after, Quintasha stroked the undulating wall with his hands –
the patterns were mottled and the handwriting was clear. After touching it, light green fluorescence appeared on the wall.
No one can read the various records carved on the stone, but the text on the pitted square bricks and stone tablets seems to be telling something.
“Don’t you want to see the residents here?” Quintasha said.
“Oh, are they here?” Zhuge Yun pretended to be surprised.
A gate hidden on the ground of the building slowly opened. As Quintasha raised his gesture, the energy device under the building was given spiritual power. The light began to brighten in the originally dark place.
This is a transparent window made of high-strength silicon alloy. The window area will not exceed the size of the temple floor, and the depth is very shallow, only half a meter.
However, at just half a meter high, there are four exquisite steps set up, all wrapped in golden gold, which looks like a sealed passage leading to a separate room.
At this time, the underground was completely silent, and the transparent window was dimmed by the bright green light, spreading deeper into the underground.
The brightness gradually became stronger, and a terrifying scene appeared.
Although Zhuge Yun’s consciousness had already glimpsed every corner of the underground, he still tried his best to hold back the shock in his heart after the light came on.
Corpses.
The vast space below is filled with human corpses, thousands of them!
These people were lying flat on the ground one by one, half a meter apart, quite neatly. Their heads have long since become skeletons, and their bodies have turned into withered bones. But each skeleton has a calm posture, and is decorated with a large number of gold ornaments on the chest, shoulders and wrists.
The bodies of these “sacrifice” were upright, and their movements were exactly the same – their hands were folded on their chests, as if praying, as if they knew what they would experience in the last moments of their lives.
There is no extremely turbid air or stench in the space below, only the mysterious atmosphere that has been deposited in ancient times.
“Are these people your followers?” Zhuge Yun stared for a moment, then turned to Quintasha and said.
“No, they are my creators, the Kunting people, and I am their god.”
Zhuge Yun understood that it was these people who contributed their souls to create the artificial god Quintasha.
“The first people who created me with the power of life hoped that I would bring salvation and a new order to this world. But unfortunately, they can no longer see everything that will happen in the future, because they will die and I will live forever. …”
Quintasha shook his head slightly, with a complicated expression on his face, “Human beings don’t deserve to be served by species that are superior to them. I know this is ironic, right?”
Zhuge Yun thought for a moment and said, ” Maybe, sometimes sacrifice is necessary in order to create, and they did. After all, this is the path they chose.
“Don’t you still want to see my followers?” Quintasha suddenly asked.
“Oh, are those believers here too?”
Zhuge Yun was a little surprised.
