A Lost Civilization
The place where the nebula gathered was like a funnel, and the black hole was wide and long. It was unknown where it led to or what was inside.
Xia Fei gritted his teeth and charged straight into the Black Crow Pupa Cavity.
* Whoosh! *
Edgeless activated its visual system. There was no light in this pitch-black space, so Xia Fei could clearly see everything around him with the most advanced system in the Law Realm. However, the colors were constantly changing, making it rather bizarre.
The quantum engine spat out beautiful flames, propelling Xia Fei into the Black Crow Pupa Cavity. He moved at a moderate speed, allowing Xia Fei to calmly observe his surroundings.
Those soft-bodied sapient lifeforms and that strange dark gold ship seemed to have vanished, and Xia Fei did not encounter any obstacles along the way.
The area ahead suddenly widened, and behind the black nebula was a bright space. White light shone down from the surrounding nebula, making it possible to clearly see the entire hidden space.
It was like a cave had been dug out from a white cloud. The Black Crow Pupa Cavity was filled with an indescribable mythical color. Warships and planets of various sizes were set off by the white nebula, and Xia Fei could not help but think of the cities in the sky in the movies. It was just that this place was so large that a person could not help but seem tiny.
"Eh? What's that?" Phantom pointed into the distance.
All he saw was a lone continent floating above the white nebula. There were flowers and trees on this continent, as well as regular geometrical buildings. There was also a massive energy barrier that enveloped the continent, making it seem like it was floating in the clouds.
Strange!
Mysterious!
Xia Fei's eyes lit up!
No matter how mysterious those planets and warships were, they could not compare to even a ten-thousandth of this continent. For some reason, Xia Fei felt a sense of déjà vu.
"You've already infiltrated the lair of those soft-bodied sapient lifeforms, yet they haven't attacked you. This is very unusual, so you'd best not be careless. I can vaguely sense that this space contains some unknown threat. This is the first time I've seen such a strange Black Crow Pupa Cavity," Oro sternly said.
A hidden space that even the Great Demon Lord Oro could not determine? It could not be anything good.
Xia Fei had always been a very curious person, and the distant floating continent was fatally attractive to him. He carefully made his way over, wanting to see what was going on.
As he got closer and closer, Xia Fei could see the layout of the continent!
The city in the center was a regular concentric circle, and the golden sky was surrounded by layers of rivers. The buildings in each ring were different, and the barriers were clear and orderly.
Three huge pyramids were placed in a triangular formation, each occupying a corner, echoing the golden dome in the center. Further out were dense jungles, barren deserts, turbulent seas, and strange and ferocious beaches made of black reefs.
The city was incomparably large, but not a single person could be seen. The forest was lush and verdant, but there were no birds resting in it. The entire continent was extremely quiet, lacking the aura of life.
Xia Fei knitted his brows. He controlled Edgeless to circle around the continent, not recklessly barging in.
The engine! Xia Fei exclaimed in shock.
At this end of the continent, a series of huge engine nozzles appeared! Its diameter was dozens of kilometers!
Xia Fei hurriedly adjusted Edgeless's detection system, and soon, the interior of the continent was reflected in Xia Fei's eyes.
The base of the continent had already been modified, and the huge warp engine took up more than half of the space. The nozzles revealed were just the tip of the iceberg.
Xia Fei could not help but think of the warship the Yu family was on. He had once thought that it was a marvel to have an ocean and lake on a warship, but he did not expect to see something similar outside the Law Realm. Moreover, it was no less technologically advanced than the Yu family's warship.
A huge warp engine propelled the entire continent forward like a spaceship, and a powerful energy barrier acted as the outer shell. There was no need to guess that the origin of this continent was anything but simple!
The city was arranged geometrically, and the three giant pyramids were like stars surrounding the moon, setting off the golden dome in the center of the city. This layout gave Xia Fei a sense of déjà vu, but alas, this continent had given Xia Fei too much of a shock, and he could not recall where this feeling had come from.
"Falling Leaves of Autumn's Demise!"
Whether it was déjà vu or strange, he would know once he went in and took a look!
Without hesitation, Xia Fei used the power of the Law of Primal Chaos to open a hole in the barrier and entered the continent!
Like a soap bubble, the energy barrier rapidly closed after breaking, leaving not a single trace behind.
He flew through the air like a jet. The continent had plenty of air, but Xia Fei did not take off his visor. After all, this was still the lair of those soft-bodied parasites, and Xia Fei would not recklessly give them a chance. As long as he had Edgeless, these despicable soft-bodied parasites could do nothing to him!
The forests were silent, the deserts were empty, and even the sound of the waves crashing against the shore was ethereal. This was a dead continent!
* Bang! *
The quantum engine died, and Xia Fei landed on a stone arch bridge at the edge of the city.
This bridge led from the city to the wilderness. The moat was so clear that one could see the bottom, and the water flowed freely. However, it lacked the shadows of fish and was lifeless.
The stone bridge was wide and elegant, enough for several hundred people to cross. The railings were carved with lifelike images of birds and beasts. Despite the passage of time, the stone bridge was as sturdy as new.
There were a total of twelve similar stone bridges, scattered around the circular city.
Striding forward, Xia Fei entered the ninth ring of the circular city.
The buildings here were simple yet elegant, and the houses were narrow yet neat. It was likely that the people living in the Ninth Ring were the lower-class citizens of the city. The stone chairs and tables by the roadside made Xia Fei suspect that this city was inhabited by humans.
After the ninth ring was the eighth ring, which was also separated by a moat and connected by twelve stone bridges. However, the houses in the eighth ring were slightly wider, and the materials used were more exquisite. Occasionally, he would even see some old-fashioned entertainment equipment.
After the eighth ring was the seventh and sixth rings, which were respectively higher class and lower class. From this, it could be seen how strict this continent was. The residents were divided by class, and the closer one was to the city center, the nobler the residents.
"I think I know what this continent is," Xia Fei muttered to himself as he stopped outside the fifth ring.
"What is it?" Phantom and Oro asked at the same time.
"The Great Western Continent, the legendary Atlantis of humanity!"
Oro did not understand human history, so he nonchalantly shrugged. In his view, both this city and this continent were insignificant existences.
However, Phantom and Xia Fei, who had studied human history, were very excited!
Atlantis was a mysterious region that appeared in Plato's works and Greek mythology, a mystery that humanity still could not solve.
And this was the capital of Atlantis, Poseidonia, the city of the Sea God! It represented the essence of the Great Western Continent.
It was the ultimate embodiment of culture, art, and craftsmanship!
Legend had it that the Atlanteans lived a very luxurious life. They did not need to work to earn a living. Everything was automated, and the common people enjoyed great convenience.
The Atlanteans used up to ninety percent of their brains and could easily communicate with animals. Not only did they create robots, but they also used genetic engineering to create half-human, half-beast mermaids. The entire city was managed mechanically. People did not need to study, and knowledge could be obtained from special devices. The intelligence of children surpassed that of modern scholars, and even unicorns were genetically modified!
The most eye-catching aspect of the Atlantean super civilization was their energy system.
It was said that they used a kind of cosmic energy to support the energy consumption of the entire city, and the source of this energy was a mysterious crystal.
It was also said that Atlantis had a six-sided emerald. This gem was placed under the Golden Hall and was closely guarded. This emerald was the core of the Atlantean civilization!
There were so many strange legends about Atlantis that three days and three nights would not be enough to finish them all.
However, none of this was important. What was important was that the Atlantis and the Great Western Continent were right before Xia Fei's eyes!
Several years ago, when Xia Fei was still a fledgling, he had once visited the ruins of the Great Western Continent. Alas, those ruins were only part of what the Great Western Continent had left behind when it left Earth.
Today, Xia Fei was standing on this legendary continent, facing the main city of Atlantis, Poseidonia! This excitement was indescribable!
The Great Western Continent had left Earth for sixteen thousand years, and after sixteen thousand years, Xia Fei was once more on this mysterious land. How could he not be excited?
"Look! The words on the walls are clearly in the Atlantean language. Those bird and beast totems are extremely strange, identical to the buildings we saw in the Great Western Continent!" Xia Fei excitedly said as he pointed at the cities on both sides of the road.
Phantom nodded. "That's right. It seems that this is the lost Great Western Continent. The three pyramids guarding the golden hall in the center are just like the legendary Poseidonia. Why didn't I think of that?
"It seems that the expert who ruled Atlantis really did install a warp engine on this continent and then left with it! They're not Earthlings! They're an extraterrestrial civilization left behind on Earth! "Xia Fei continued.
As he advanced, the road became wider and wider, and the buildings on both sides became more and more luxurious. A rich ancient aura washed over him!
"But why would the Atlantean civilization be trapped in this Dark Crow Pupa? The one who founded Atlantis was an immortal expert, a powerful existence on par with the old Demonlord Oro. Could they have been wiped out by those soft-bodied lifeforms? That doesn't make sense, does it? How could an immortal expert lose to these powerless parasites? "Phantom muttered to himself.
Xia Fei was also curious. It seemed that Atlantis had not been trapped here for just a day or two. An incredibly powerful race led by an immortal expert should not have disappeared so easily.
To be able to control an entire continent and come to the vast sea of stars was enough to show the level of technology and strength of this group of people. Could those soft-bodied lifeforms be even more powerful than Xia Fei had imagined? To be able to capture and even wipe out the people of the Great Western Continent!
Xia Fei's palms began to sweat at this thought. The universe was profound, and it was hard to say if there were any super powerful existences in the Dark Crow Pupa!
