"This is the key to passing the 'Great Snow Mountain'," the Moonwatch said.
The Moon Gazer said, "Among the randomly appearing levels of the Tower of Babel, the 'Great Snow Mountain' is a fragment world that has a very high probability of appearing. It is also very difficult. When the explorers pass through the first layer of the fragment world, they will often appear halfway up the mountain and receive the baptism of the extremely cold wind.
"If the explorers hesitate and get lost in the snowstorm, they will soon be defeated by the climate that is close to absolute zero and become frozen tombstones.
"However, under the seemingly frigid snow mountain, there is an extremely violent active volcano. As long as we find a way to change the structure of the earth's crust and detonate the infinite heat energy contained in the volcano, the temperature of the entire world fragment will be temporarily changed and the temperature inside and outside the volcano will be balanced.
"The exit to this world fragment is hidden in the scorching magma deep inside the crater of the volcano.
"Another piece of good news, or rather, bad news, is that the 'Great Snow Mountain' is one of the most difficult world fragments. When the 'Great Snow Mountain' appears, it means that we are not far away from the real ultimate test.
"Our experts have studied the 'Great Snow Mountain' very deeply. When Gu Wuxin, the leader of the Divine Palace, discovered that it was the frigid hell that appeared in front of us, he immediately decided to set up the last line of defense at the crater of the volcano and use the power of the volcanic eruption and magma to block the troops of the Mie Zhongdao and Dragon Lotus Seed. Unfortunately, there was not enough time. The people of the Divine Palace and the invaders were all entangled, and it was impossible for them to detonate the volcano after everyone escaped. Therefore, Gu Wuxin made a prompt decision to activate the power of magma deep inside the Great Snow Mountain. Unfortunately, I was separated from my father and was swept away by the rolling avalanche. Fortunately, I met you. Otherwise, I would have died before I could see the secrets of the Ancestor of the Origin.
Otherwise, it would have been a pity. "The Moonwatch's young face showed the calmness of someone who had seen through life and death.
"Don't worry. You don't know me. I've always been known for my luck. You won't die so easily if you follow me. At most, you will turn into all kinds of strange life forms. In short, we will definitely figure out what the so-called Ancestor of the Origin is up to!"
Li Yao pondered for a moment. "That is to say, as long as we can climb to the peak of the snow mountain and jump into the scorching crater of the volcano, we will be able to reach the next world fragment or even the top of the Tower of Babel and face the real 'ultimate test' directly?"
"… Yes."
The Moon Gazer said after hesitating for a moment.
"Is there a problem?"
Li Yao was slightly startled. "You don't seem to be sure?"
"No, I'm very sure about the Great Snow Mountain, the Tower of Babel, and the ultimate test."
The Moon Gazer said, "However, when the volcano was detonated, magma fell from the sky, and an avalanche rolled in, my father and I were caught off guard and separated. At that time, he said something very strange to me. I don't know if it counts as another unexpected 'variable'."
"Oh?"
Li Yao blinked and asked, "What 'variable'?"
"Father told me that there is a traitor in the Immortal Palace."
The Moon Gazer said, "He told me to be very careful of the Flood Tide Army!"
"What …"
Thinking quickly, Li Yao mumbled, "It is perfectly normal that there is a traitor in the Divine Palace. After all, the specialists and scholars are from various primeval clans and have a lot to do with the soldiers, politicians, careerists, and the remaining forces of various clans outside. Didn't you say that it is illegal to send out certain critical technologies and forbidden research projects in private?
"However, the so-called 'traitors' are only loyal to the clans outside. For example, the commanders of the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan such as' Mie Zhongdao 'and' Dragon Lotus Seed 'helped them open the gate of the Divine Palace so that they could march in directly. How can they be related to the Flood Tide Army?
"Speaking of which, are there any living captives of the Flood Tide Army in the Divine Palace right now?"
"How is that possible?"
The Moon Gazer said, "Even if we don't count the hundreds of thousands of years when time is frozen, the expedition army of the Pangu civilization and the Flood Tide Army encountered each other almost ten thousand years ago. The battle was quite brutal. Even the surviving captives of the Flood Tide Army were mostly heavily wounded and dying. Otherwise, those guys wouldn't have been captured by us obediently!
"By the time we completely built the Divine Palace and began our research, the captives of the Flood Tide Army were almost all dead. Our specialists and scholars tried their best but only kept some of their living cells. As for the other bodies, they could only be frozen or sliced for research and transformed into astronomical information streams.
"By my generation, and even by my father's generation, there was not a single living captive of the Flood Tide Army in the Divine Palace."
"Wait —"
Li Yao said, "Since you boasted such remarkable technologies of gene duplication and modification that you could even replicate the ancestors from billions of years ago, and you kept part of the living cells of the captives of the Flood Tide Army, couldn't you have duplicated new captives of the Flood Tide Army with those cells?"
The question stunned the Moon Gazer for a long time.
"Well … it should be possible, right?"
She mumbled. "However, I've never heard of any research projects in that regard. After all, it's too dangerous."
"Just because you've never heard of it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. However dangerous the project of duplicating the captives of the Flood Tide Army is, can it be more dangerous than the project of duplicating the ancestors?"
Li Yao shrugged and said, "Judging from the current information, 'Flood' is very likely to be the ultimate supervillain who beat 'Ancestor of the Origin' into a pulp. Then, in order to crack the secrets of 'Ancestor of the Origin', it is quite a reasonable starting point to start with Flood!"
The Moon Gazer was dazed for a long time. She could only admit, "You do have a point."
"There's one other thing. I've been vaguely uncomfortable since the beginning, but I didn't know what I was hesitating about. Now, I've finally realized that something is wrong."
Li Yao frowned. "Why do you have to carry out the project of exploring the primeval relics and the project of studying the captives of the Flood Tide Army in the same place?"
The Moon Gazer was dazed again. "I don't understand …"
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket. That's the simplest logic."
Li Yao said. "Exploring the primeval relics is such a dangerous and sensitive project, and studying the captives of the Flood Tide Army is also an extremely dangerous and confidential project. Even if the two projects do overlap, there is absolutely no reason to study them together for the sake of safety and confidentiality.
"For the sake of isolation, you can set up two quarantine areas and two 'Divine Palaces' so that you can communicate with each other regularly. Why is there only one Divine Palace? Why did you pack all the most distinguished elites of the Pangu civilization into this place and let the captives of the Flood Tide Army be so close to the secrets of the ancestors?
"It's almost … It's almost like … I don't know if I'm being paranoid, but it's almost like the people who established the Divine Palace at the beginning were manipulated by a certain mysterious force and intentionally placed the captives of the Flood Tide Army in the primeval relics in the place closest to the secrets of the ancestors!"
"Are you saying —"
The Moon Gazer's face immediately turned pale. For the first time, her calmness and calmness were broken, revealing the naivety and panic of a girl.
"I don't have any proof. I didn't say anything. Everything is just a wild speculation."
Li Yao said. "Of course, in the civilization of mankind, I'm considered a household name. Every time I have an ominous feeling, the result is often a hundred times more ominous than the foreboding.
"Oh, right. There is one piece of evidence that is not really evidence. Just now, you said that the outer wall of the Supreme Tower is made of certain unbelievable, cutting-edge energy-absorbing materials. It is even possible that the entrance to the four-dimensional space is hidden in the gaps between molecules. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to break it, and we can only climb up from the bottom floor one floor after another.
"However, when the tide of ferocious beasts besieged the Supreme Tower, I clearly saw that the tide of ferocious beasts secreted something that looked like a carpet, acid, or black spots. It was attached to the outer wall of the Supreme Tower and condensed into special teleportation arrays.
"Countless ferocious beasts, as well as myself, entered the Supreme Tower through the weird teleportation arrays. Also, after passing only two tests, we arrived at the 'Great Snow Mountain', a high-level world fragment of an extremely difficult level. You can say that we have walked through half of the 'VIP channel'.
"My question is, how did the Pangu Clan, the Nuwa Clan, the Mie Zhongdao Clan, and Dragon Lotus Seed, who are pure soldiers and fighters, master the technology to infiltrate the Supreme Tower that even you have not developed? Before they attacked the primordial relics, it was impossible for them to get in touch with the Supreme Tower, much less analyze the materials used to build the Supreme Tower and figure out a way to crack it!
"Also, the matters about the Supreme Tower and the ultimate test should be top secrets in the first place, shouldn't they? How did they know everything about the place? It's obvious that they came prepared and went straight to the core. Who leaked the information to them?"
The Moon Gazer was greatly alarmed. His brainwaves were surging like surging tides. "Are you suggesting that the strength of the captives of the Flood Legion has been spread out through thousands of channels, infecting and corrupting the experts including the 'Path of Annihilation' and 'Dragon Lotus Seed', turning them into the new-generation 'Flood Legion'?"
"Maybe. Didn't you say just now that the spies in the Divine Palace secretly smuggled out tremendous technologies about the Flood Tide Army and even the living cells of the captives of the Flood Tide Army and modified them into new genetic weapons and biochemical viruses?"
Li Yao said, "Also, your civil war was very uncanny. It was only a clash of ideologies in the first place, and you could've sat down and talked to each other peacefully. Wasn't the Pangu Clan best at communication? However, as it turned out, the two parties could not tolerate each other and resorted to the most extreme approaches. The flames of war swallowed all the Sectors in the universe in only hundreds of years.
