"What?!"
Meng Chao broke out in cold sweat.
It was incredibly dangerous to come into contact with ancient relics and read the ancient information contained within them.
Most of the time, explorers could only come into contact with them for a few seconds or a few minutes.
In a trance, he only saw some bizarre, broken pictures and heard some murmurs that sounded like ravings. That was all he could do.
Even if Deity Realm superhumans made full preparations and came into deep meditation, they could rarely come into contact with ancient relics for more than an hour.
If they were immersed in the ancient summoning for a long period of time, the fragile brains of Earthlings might be riddled with holes by the information from the ancient times. In the end, they would go through spirit energy deviation and get lost in the profound, complicated, and unfathomable information from the ancient times.
If that were the case, the temperature of their brains would rise rapidly and instantly go over one hundred degrees Celsius, or even five hundred degrees Celsius, and they would burn themselves into idiots.
Their human emotions and desires would be severely distorted or even completely lost, and they would turn into monsters with human bodies.
In truth, Dragon City's civilization called the superhumans who lost their humanity after they went through spirit energy deviation and committed all sorts of crimes lost because they had been immersed in the ancient summoning for too long and were lost in the ocean of information accumulated over billions of years.
Over the past half a year, Meng Chao had come into contact with ancient relics multiple times in Ruins No. 1.
But with his Heaven Realm cultivation realm, he only dabbled in them and stopped.
At most, he was dazed for twenty-nine minutes.
Based on what Meng Chao knew, there were very few powerful people who managed to do that in his previous life or his current life.
It was no wonder then why all the elites from various factions of power came out.
On one hand, they definitely wanted to know just what sort of strange thing had happened to Meng Chao.
On the other hand, there was a high possibility that they were here to prevent Meng Chao from being corrupted by the ancient power and turning into the most terrifying monster in Dragon City's history.
"I came into deep contact with the microcomputer for three hours, and I read a lot of information I've never seen before and can't believe it. I thought that this was the limit."
Battle God Lei Zongchao obediently worked with the doctors and nurses. They tied all sorts of medical equipment on him, but he refused their kind offer to bring him to another ward for an in-depth examination.
He gradually adjusted his breathing, and some of the scattered color returned to his face. He smiled at Meng Chao and said, "I didn't expect that you'd still be sleeping. You're even more dead than me!
"At that time, all the doctors and nurses, as well as Old Shao and Old Wu, were in a dilemma. They did not dare to awaken you by force because they were afraid that it would cause irreversible damage to your brain tissue. However, they did not know if they should let you continue to sleep under the impact of the Primordial Information. Your soul sank deeper and deeper, and in the end, you were completely captured by the Primordial Energy.
"However, I can sense that while your brain has been bombarded by the ancient information torrent, your soul and vitality magnetic field are still stable. There are no signs of spirit energy deviation.
"So, I boldly made the decision and asked everyone to observe for a period of time.
"I didn't expect that this observation would last for more than twenty hours. Meng Chao, you really make me sweat! Hahahaha! Cough, cough, cough!"
Lei Zongchao laughed out loud.
Clearly, he was delighted that Meng Chao had woken up safely.
He didn't know which wound he had pulled on, but the pain made his eyes twitch and he coughed violently.
Although he laughed boldly and spoke in a relaxed manner, as if nothing had happened.
But Meng Chao knew that what Lei Zongchao did for him was definitely not as simple as just observing him for a period of time.
Sure enough, Thunder God Shao Zhengyang knitted his brows and solemnly said, "Old Thunder, it's better for you to go to the treatment room with the doctor and have a thorough examination.
"You must know that you've been by his side for more than twenty hours, and you've been activating your spirit energy magnetic field every single moment to help him stabilize his cell structure and vitality magnetic field.
"The amount of energy you used is no less than when you killed Apocalyptic Beasts in the monster horde.
"With your current physical condition, to put it bluntly, doing this is simply exchanging your life for a life!"
"Master Lei, you —"
Meng Chao was incredibly touched.
Speaking of which, he felt ashamed. After he returned to the world from the apocalypse, he had set a major mission for himself, and that was to save Battle God Lei Zongchao.
He believed that as long as this virtuous, kind, and selfless martial arts legend did not die, they could ensure that Dragon City's civilization would continue walking down the correct and bright path after the Monster War.
He did not expect that after he came into contact with Battle God Lei Zongchao, he would help him without asking for anything in return and pour all his efforts into him.
Now, he was even willing to drain his life on his body and use the method of exchanging his life for a life to protect Meng Chao.
Besides, Lei Zongchao's lover, Jin Qianxi, had indirectly saved Meng Chao's life.
Meng Chao could not help but be filled with respect for this immortal couple who had given everything to their home and comrades.
"It's nothing. I was the one who invited you to enter the monsters' nest to search for the secrets of the monster civilization, so it's only natural that I would risk my life to protect you."
Lei Zongchao smiled faintly and said, "Besides, you've been in contact with me for more than twenty hours. You must have obtained a lot of profound and unfathomable information from the microcomputer. Perhaps this ancient information will help Dragon City's civilization gain a foothold in the Other World and its long-term development.
"So, I'm not doing this for you. I'm also risking my life for Dragon City."
Lei Zongchao gave Meng Chao a reminder.
He had to record the ancient information in time.
Otherwise, based on his experience of coming into contact with ancient relics, the ancient information was like a dream. No matter how great the stimulation he received while dreaming was, once he woke up, it would quickly become blurry, shatter, and disappear.
But in front of so many people …
Meng Chao cast Lei Zongchao a puzzled look.
He wanted to talk to Lei Zongchao about some of the information, especially the information about Jin Qianxi. Then, he would see how he could use the most suitable method to announce it to the outside world.
Lei Zongchao told Meng Chao that all the people in the room were definitely trustworthy among the factions of power in Dragon City. They were the core members who could make decisions on many major matters.
Dragon City adhered to the principle of equivalent exchange. The higher the risk, the higher the profit.
The ancient information was very important to the development of the factions of power in Dragon City, so they naturally could not take advantage of him.
With the Battle God as a witness, he would definitely not suffer a loss when it came to information fees.
Meng Chao was a man of unquestionable integrity and regarded money as dirt.
He wasn't risking his life for the "information fee".
At that moment, he negotiated a very tempting price with the representatives of the factions of power.
Once he went through a full physical examination and brain scan to make sure that he did not show any signs of spirit energy deviation and that he even remembered peeing and mud when he was five years old, Meng Chao began to draw the ancient scenes he saw in his daze.
He had not received professional training in sketching.
But as a veteran harvester, identifying and drawing all sorts of monster organs as well as drawing pictures of monsters and etherealized plants was one of the most important basic skills.
In his previous life, Meng Chao had already built up a solid foundation for his basic skills.
Besides, he had superhuman vision as a five-star superhuman, and his fingers were as fine as silk. It was not a problem for him to draw the general outline of the scenes he saw in his daze.
He drew for a full day and night.
In total, he drew more than three hundred pictures.
The content included the grand ancient war, the monster attack that was one hundred times fiercer than the current one, the panoramic view of the ancient city and some of the details, the terrifying firepower of the ancient weapons, and the Flesh Stairway formed by billions of monsters.
He also drew pictures of the millions of years after the space-based orbital weapons attacked the barren land. There were only deformed mollusks and arthropods on the barren land, and terrifying diamond-shaped crystals floated in the sky. They were carbon-based lifeforms cleaners.
Meng Chao also drew pictures of the mother when it was startled awake by the Earthlings' transmigration and saw some of the pictures.
It spanned tens of millions of years and even hundreds of millions of years. The mother rose to power and fell asleep. Then, when it woke up, it cut off its tail to survive, and when it woke up for the second time, it came into contact with Earthlings in the form of a monster civilization.
Meng Chao drew all this information without holding back.
Forget about the price the factions of power had agreed on with him.
Every time he drew a picture of the ancient era, the Kindling at the corner of his eyes would shine with a dazzling light, and it would give him more than one thousand contribution points.
By the looks of it, Meng Chao's guess was correct. The information from the ancient era was incredibly beneficial to saving Dragon City.
That was only natural.
To a large extent, modern warfare was a war of information.
In his previous life, Dragon City had been dragging its feet during the Monster War, which gave the mother a lot of time to react. At the final moment, it might have destroyed all the information stored in its microcomputer.
That was why Dragon City's civilization could not understand the basic situation in the Other World. It was like a blind man running around on a cliff. There was no way it would not be seeking its own destruction.
In this life, Meng Chao would not let the same mistake happen a second time.
Of course, he didn't spill all the information like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
For example, he thought about it and decided that there was no need for him to tell anyone about his soul being bound to the mother's body and being surrounded and beaten up by more than twenty Deity Realm superhumans.
It was mainly because he had used the mother's sensory organs to scan the changes in the vitality magnetic fields of more than twenty Deity Realm superhumans when they executed their strongest and most secretive martial arts, as well as the structural model of their spirit energy magnetic fields.
Even though he was only a five-star superhuman, he could not understand the intricacies of it for the time being.
Even so, he remembered every detail.
It was the same as him copying the life-saving skills of more than twenty Deity Realm superhumans into the depths of his brain.
This sort of thing was rather sensitive.
It had to be known that not all peerless elites were like Battle God Lei Zongchao, who had a heart as vast as the ocean and was willing to give up everything for the advancement of humanity. They even shared everything they had learned in their lives with all the citizens.
Many of the powerful people's martial arts were secrets that were not passed down to others.
Even those who were related to them might not be able to learn them.
Meng Chao felt that it would be better if he did not cause unnecessary trouble.
