Flying over the densely packed giant ships, and then passing through the pyramids made of crystal skulls, he could see a towering altar rising from the ground, standing in front of Chu Yunsheng. He had no choice but to pull the green-shelled insect and climb up the wall to the top of the altar.
In Chu Yunsheng's memory, the last time he broke into this place, he was at the end of his rope, and he was extremely shocked. So he didn't have time to check many details. Especially after hearing the lament of the sky, he couldn't wait to leave here, so he didn't realize that this towering altar was actually made of black bricks made of some unknown material.
Every brick was almost exactly the same in size, and the seamless fit showed the flawless craftsmanship. The only difference was the intricate patterns that appeared on the outside of each brick. They were embedded into the black bricks, like tiny dark golden streamers, forming a dense and subtle structure that would make one dizzy with just a glance. It seemed to be infinitely divisible, and all the bricks were connected to each other, forming a magnificent picture.
Chu Yunsheng didn't understand the meaning of the giant array, but he saw the crystal human skeletons kneeling on the steps made of giant bricks. One of the skeletons in the front suddenly moved, as if it was resurrected from the dead. It supported its skeletal body and slowly stood up. In front of the giant square cauldron at the top of the altar, it looked at Chu Yunsheng with its ancient eyes, and let out a long and deep sigh.
"You are here again …"
At this moment, Chu Yunsheng had already flown to the top of the altar on the green-shelled insect. The word "again" made him frown deeply, and a standard Chinese sentence made him ask in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
The skeleton covered with dust raised its head. There was a dim crystal light flowing between the bones, and there seemed to be two clusters of glowing fire in its hollow eyes. As if it had been thinking for a long time, it murmured slowly and confusedly, "Who am I? I am a human, but also not a human … It has been a long time, so long that I have almost forgotten those burning years. "
Chu Yunsheng couldn't find a piece of organic flesh on its body, and when he heard its murmur, he thought of a possibility and guessed, "You are a robot?"
The ancient skeleton interrupted its thinking, looked at Chu Yunsheng, and said solemnly, "Robot? If a person's fingers are cut off, he can continue to live, and his life will not be affected. If a person's legs are cut off, he can still continue to live … Hearts can be replaced, organs can be transplanted, where there is a problem, from toes, arms, bones, internal organs, eyes, to nerves, cells …
Our civilization has been developed under this concept for countless years. In the end, we can even analyze and replace the most sophisticated brain step by step, completely abandoning the natural body that was originally conceived by the mother's body, so that we are no longer restricted by it. We can replace every part of our body step by step, from one body to another, step by step, stealing life from the rules of nature, so that we can stay young forever. From this, we can indeed be a robot in a certain sense. "
Its words reminded Chu Yunsheng of the secret of immortality that the Pre-Cambrian people had discovered, so he couldn't help but ask, "So, you can live forever?"
The ancient skeleton seemed to be still talking to itself, "How can the laws of the universe be so simple? We think we have reached the pinnacle of science and technology and mastered the laws of life, but we don't know that our laws are flawed. We are not stealing life from the sky, from nature, but we are inadvertently using a law that we have never discovered to steal other people's lives.
Every finger, every hair, when they grow on a living body, they are alive. Life has always been a whole, not a part. So when we take the organs from the slave hosts that can provide us with replacement, we are just using other people's lives to extend our own lives. When we finally discovered this one day, a great destruction caused by the wrath of the gods had quietly arrived. In an emergency, we quickly replaced those hosts with inanimate machines, trying to survive the great destruction and find the truth again. "
Chu Yunsheng's eyelids twitched. He suppressed the shock in his heart and said calmly, "So you wrote lament for the fall of the sky, lament for the big mistake you made, and those heretics are the lives you stole … You are the people who lament for the heaven!?"
The ancient skeleton's fiery eyes seemed to look at Chu Yunsheng in astonishment. It shook its head and sighed, "When the great destruction came, when our race was about to be annihilated, another god appeared, and the god who was angry and wanted to punish us broke out in a divine war that still makes us tremble. Then, it signed a contract with us. I don't know the other contents of the contract, but it gave us new technology, and we began to know that there is life force in this world. The only thing I know is that the first item in the contract requires us to suppress all the creatures that cultivate life force in our sphere of influence for generations. If we encounter any resistance, we will kill them!
This graveyard was discovered by accident when we were suppressing the creatures that cultivate life force. Their lament for the heaven caused by their big mistake resonated with us, so we took it as a warning. However, they mourned the heaven, we are not qualified to do so. "
A sharp light flashed in Chu Yunsheng's eyes, and he said, "So you are a Tzolk 'in being."
He remembered that Huan and Huang Bei Ying once mentioned that the Tzolk 'in beings had signed some kind of contract with the gods, and the Tzolk' in beings had imprisoned many creatures that cultivated life force. Coupled with the crystal light on the skeleton, if he still couldn't guess that it was a Tzolk 'in being at this time, then he was really stupid.
The ancient skeleton nodded without hiding anything, and the fire in its eyes began to become brighter as time passed. It gritted its jaws and said, "I am a Tzolk 'in being, but I am not the Tzolk' in being that you think. I don't have much time. Just now, I was just recalling the past to wake up to the origin of myself and why I appeared here. You can come down now, I have something important to tell you. "
Chu Yunsheng sneered coldly, "Tzolk 'in beings are all the lackeys of the realm messengers. If I really go down, won't I fall into your trap?"
The ancient skeleton squeaked its jaw and said bitterly, "You have been here countless times, and I have recorded them all, but I have never spoken to you once, because I am the only Tzolk 'in being who retained my original consciousness in the doomsday experiment before the great destruction. But the magical energy that made me succeed is now only enough to wake up once, and then I will die forever, so you and I should cherish this opportunity."
Chu Yunsheng frowned and said, "I want to know the truth of this world. If you can tell me, then say it here. If you can't, I will continue to look for it myself until I find the evidence."
The ancient skeleton said leisurely, "What you met was just Thirteen Baktun. She doesn't represent all Tzolk 'in beings. We are not all like what you think. I know you want to find the truth, otherwise, you wouldn't have come here. But if you don't come down, you will never see the truth. Even if I tell you, you won't believe me. "
Chu Yunsheng shook his head and said, "But I still can't believe you. There are too many liars in this world. I need to protect myself."
The ancient skeleton looked at him, and said helplessly, "Since you don't want to come down, then I will go up."
After saying that, before Chu Yunsheng could react, the altar suddenly grew taller and taller, and in the blink of an eye, it reached his feet. The force that once isolated him from the outside suddenly seemed to have disappeared.
In shock, Chu Yunsheng immediately took out a level-four offensive talisman and formed a sword formation.
"Don't be nervous." The ancient skeleton pointed to its feet and said heavily, "This is not my power, this is its power."
Chu Yunsheng said in a deep voice, "What is this place?"
The ancient skeleton still pointed to the ground of the altar and said, "Feel it carefully, and then you will hear it."
Chu Yunsheng frowned. Just as he was about to say that it was talking nonsense, a strange fluctuation suddenly came from under his feet, and it instantly entered his mind along the soles of his feet. In front of him, a grand universe background appeared. Countless galaxies were changing unpredictably, and countless stars were flashing in it. They were moving and evolving rapidly, being born, disappearing, exploding, and being destroyed … But all of them were expanding at an extremely fast speed.
An older voice sounded at this time, as if it came from that universe, ancient and distant:
"We want to know what happened at the beginning of the universe, and we want to know what will happen at the last moment of the universe, so we built it."
This was the first voice, and then there was continuous silence. Only those star atlases were constantly evolving. Perhaps there was some noise, but it was meaningless. Just when Chu Yunsheng thought it was going to end, suddenly another voice sounded. Compared to the first voice, the last voice seemed to be extremely urgent, and even with a trace of great panic, it roared frantically:
"Quick! Turn off the node, they are coming! They are here! Quick! … "
Then, there was another long period of noise. This time, Chu Yunsheng heard that the noise seemed to be the background music that was left behind after being forcibly deleted.
After the two voices, the fluctuation coming from the altar receded like the tide, and everything around returned to normal.
"What do you mean?" Chu Yunsheng was confused, and asked the skeleton: "Who is" we "? Who are "they"? "
"I don't know." The ancient skeleton raised its chin and said bluntly: "I can't hear more than you, but I've been here for who knows how many years under the orders of the fourth Baktun. I can tell you some of my own understandings. The next words are very important, it is related to your life and death, so you must listen carefully. "

Piao Huo had actually been filling in the gaps, but some of the foreshadowing was relatively far away, so it was easy to forget.
