Is the time really not right?
This sentence instantly gripped the hearts of the few of them.
According to the normal time ratio, it was indeed so.
Only five thousand years of Chinese history seemed long, but in fact, it was relatively short. How could there be Chinese characters in the ancient mythological temple that was tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of millions of years ago?
This was like having a grandson first, then a grandfather.
However, the time flow in this game was not equal. The difference between the flow of time in reality and this land was too great.
A thousand years ago, it could be that ancient Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva ascended from the Tang Dynasty. Only a thousand years had passed in the mortal world before people went from the Tang Dynasty to the modern era. But here, there was a mythological era that could last a long time …
"If it's really Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, then this ancient temple of hell is his residence? Doesn't that mean the vow not to become a Buddha until hell is empty? "
"That's impossible, right? That's just a legend. We don't even know if Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva really exists. Who was he when he was alive? There are a few versions in history, although the story of the Tang Dynasty Silla monk is the most recognized. "
"From our encounters and experiences, there's nothing impossible with such a terrifying time flow."
The few of them were baffled. It felt like a dream, but in theory, it had been completely realized.
"Cough, cough, cough …"
One of the players quickly coughed.
He suddenly felt a little creeped out and had goosebumps all over his body. He sniffled. Could this be a horror game?
It was really terrifying!
The more he thought about it, the more goosebumps appeared.
He quickly looked at the board and paced back and forth to study the handwriting. He laughed. "Brothers! Why are you suddenly so quiet? This setting is quite interesting. A hundred years in heaven, a day on earth. It's very immersive … As expected of the game production team. The game background and world they set are constantly unfolding, and the scenes are refreshing. It's too exciting! It's a wonderful work! "
"Yes, yes … The Easter egg with the background of Chinese mythology is perfectly integrated into this online game of the six realms of reincarnation!"
Another player quickly said. He came back to his senses and quickly took a screenshot. He laughed. "Super God unfold! It's all just foreshadowing. It's too amazing … If it's released and they know that this dungeon's mysterious ancient temple has ancient Chinese characters, their jaws will definitely drop! "
The few of them hurriedly teased him.
Bai Xiaojun glanced at them and nodded tacitly.
As long as one was smart, he would feel that the black technology of this online virtual game could not be produced by modern technology … If humans developed to the virtual online gaming era of the Ishudal people a few hundred years later, when such a virtual online gaming background appeared, people would only praise it for being exquisite. But now …
He began to have some doubts in his heart.
"Brothers, let's sort out our thoughts! Prepare to raid the dungeon! "
Bai Xiaojun and the others no longer hesitated, but they were not in a hurry to enter the mysterious ancient temple.
After all, there were only monsters blocking the way before, and entering the ancient temple was very likely to be the final boss of a special difficult dungeon. What kind of danger would there be? An unknown mysterious enemy? Before entering the Dungeon, the team would definitely need to discuss and organize their information. Otherwise, a team-wipe would not be fun.
It was just that the two words' Ksitigarbha 'really disturbed their minds.
However, they did not dare to immediately send a screenshot to ask for Yun's help. The other animals were all competing for the dungeon's progress. If they found out that they had secretly come over to steal the chicken, wouldn't it cause a huge commotion?
"We can only rely on ourselves to raid the dungeon! First of all, according to the current background setting of the game, for the two ancient Chinese words' Ksitigarbha '… us players, the Path of Asura, are not the first batch to descend into this world! "Bai Xiaojun and the others squatted down and took a short stick to write and draw on the grayish-white sand on the ground.
Bai Xiaojun analyzed with a serious expression.
"Before the Ancient Mythological Era, or even before Jue Wushen, there were also some ancient players from Earth who entered this world a few thousand years ago. They ascended to this world one after another … This place is also known as the Immortal World, Buddha World, and so on in our traditional Chinese legends."
Everyone nodded.
According to the analysis of the background setting, it was indeed so.
"They came from Earth, and after ascending, they became ancient mighty beings. Then, for some unknown reason, the gods fell … They were extremely powerful, but they also met with misfortune. After an unknown period of time, it might be the era of the Absolute God …"
Everyone nodded.
"Then, according to this background, the myths and legends of the past five thousand years are very terrifying … For example, this' Ksitigarbha 'before us might be a hero from Earth a thousand years ago who stepped onto the Ancient Road of the Sun and entered the six paths of reincarnation. Now, he has only appeared here tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of years ago, leaving an ancient relic for us …"
"Then, what about Zhang Sanfeng? Does Gautama Buddha still exist? Laozi left Hangu Pass? The ancestors of mankind, the Flame Emperor and the Yellow Emperor? The Heavenly Venerables from Earth in the mythological era? "
Their breathing became rapid, and their faces were full of fear.
The unequal flow of time meant the greatest unknown and mysterious possibility.
They had thought that the six paths of reincarnation had been stunning enough before! It was unbelievable. The background setting was exciting and interconnected, but at this moment … it was only the tip of the iceberg!
"Then, how did these ancient beings disappear after they left Earth? Why didn't they live to this day? Or were they suppressed somewhere, with only their remnant souls left … "
After parting the dark clouds, they thought they had seen the truth of history, but it was even darker!
They looked at the mysterious ancient temple, and the word "hell" pierced into their hearts.
There was nothing more immersive than the familiar ancient characters of the civilization he was in.
Before, they had a lot of feelings for Jue Wushen, but it was only feelings and admiration for such a person who fought for his own world … But now, they discovered that before Jue Wushen, there were even more ancient beings in prehistory, and they had goosebumps all over their bodies. Like natives, they melted into the world.
The few of them trembled as they discussed among themselves.
"This game is very special … As expected of the first online virtual reality game that transcends time! It's called a second life, and it completely combines the five thousand years of mythological history of Huaxia with the setting of the online game world … It's very immersive! "
"It's just that such a twisted and ancient five thousand years of myths and legends might be broken by both sides!"
"But this game is really fun!"
"The background setting is amazing!"
They just laughed and chatted. As for whether it was true or not, they had to slowly evaluate it and bury it in their hearts.
They tidied up and began to explore the ancient temple seriously. They wore tin cans and entered in order, surrounding Bai Xiaojun because he was the core of the team. Without him to sense "Qi", even if they passed the dungeon, they would not be able to go back. They would definitely die in the depths of the Avici Hell.
They followed the ancient temple and entered the gate.
On both sides were bronze lamps, somewhat in the style of Dunhuang's Mogao Caves. The walls were thick painted murals, but they had been weathered out of shape with the passage of time. They were covered in a thick layer of dust, and the air was filled with unknown divine power, which preserved these murals.
Thud, thud, thud …
The empty footsteps stirred up the wind and dust.
Walking in it made them feel old and silent for endless years.
As they walked, they saw many Buddhist paintings, singing and dancing to celebrate peace, endless fairies, and Buddhist paintings. It was a very ordinary Dunhuang ancient temple style. On both sides were stone sculptures of disciples, Bodhisattvas, Heavenly Kings, and Hercules … The craftsmanship was exquisite, and they seemed to see another Thousand Buddha Cave in Dunhuang.
It was simply too beautiful, uncanny workmanship.
"It's so beautiful. This is the ancient Huaxia architecture. As expected of the heroes from Earth a thousand years ago … It's so much more beautiful than those overcrowded tourist attractions … The vacuum of space, the mysterious ancient temple full of radiation, and the weight of time is countless times stronger. It's just that these stone walls don't record history."
Bai Xiaojun felt a little regretful. "But of course, this is the most realistic depiction. It would be strange if an ancient temple recorded the history of its destruction on the murals... unless it was deliberately painted by the later generations."
However, as they walked, they saw a row of words in the murals. The words were in the ancient language, which was incompatible with the style of the murals. They seemed to have been carved later, not in traditional Huaxia, and they couldn't understand the centipede-shaped words.
They silently noted it down and walked along the murals.
Not long after, they saw another row of words in a mural. They couldn't understand it at all, but it was obviously not the same language. Even the person who wrote it was different, as if it was from two different eras.
Obviously, these words were not left behind by the master of the ancient temple. They were added by the people of the later generations when they came to the ancient temple. In their era, perhaps the ancient temple had already been damaged and became the dilapidated walls that it was today.
"Powerful people from different eras have come here and left behind these words, recording some of the mysteries of their eras for their descendants."
"It's just that we can't understand it at all!"
"What a loss! They might have written the entire truth of the history of generations! "
"Brother, since the powerful people from different eras have come here and left behind traces, why don't we also write on one of the murals that we visited this place?"
"You're asking for a beating! You're destroying a cultural monument! "
"How can we do that? In any case, I don't dare to do it now. When the time comes, I'll soar and become a powerful person. I'll definitely leave behind words like these powerful people of the past! "
They were all discussing. They also felt that these words from different eras were too hardcore and realistic.
They kept analyzing it.
After all, many dungeons required decryption, background settings, and analysis. Generally, the boss' information and various backgrounds would be displayed on the various stone walls of the dungeon.
However, at this moment, they felt a deep sense of immersion and a strong sense of curiosity. They were curious about the myths of the ancient era!
After all, this ancient temple was an ancient relic of the Earthlings!
As they gradually walked in, the stone walls seemed to have turned into words, symbolizing that more than ten ancient powerful people had explored the ancient temple in different eras.
Finally, as they moved forward, they gradually saw a row of words that they could understand. It was the native language of Hell.
"It's similar to Jue Wushen's handwriting." Everyone was shocked. They had seen Jue Wushen's handwriting on the arcade game when he wrote that poem.
There was only one sentence written on it:
"That reincarnator killed my beloved. If you can redeem yourself, you can live for a hundred lifetimes."
The surrounding people looked at each other and couldn't help but murmur, "It should be Jue Wushen describing his era … At that time, the six paths of reincarnation were established, and the Emperor of Reincarnation ruled the entire era …"
"But this is the era of the recent epoch. I'm not sure what happened before …" Bai Xiaojun shook her head and said, "Perhaps that Emperor knows.
He's from the recent epoch, and it's very likely that he's a remnant of the old mythological era. He took over the shattered world, reconstructed the six paths of reincarnation, and ruled over the ages, monopolizing several eras … Although he's extraordinary, he's still just a Celestial Emperor. "
In the prehistory of tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of years, there must have been even more terrifying mythological eras. There might even have been rank eight gods and world-class experts … The terrifying shattering and destruction must have led to the rise of the Emperor of Reincarnation and his revival, as well as the resistance of Jue Wushen and the others.
Ushering in today's era.
Bai Xiaojun looked at the entire corridor of murals. "The long history has almost been obliterated. We can only guess the situation in the recent several epochs and the recent thousands of years! The current era is the era of the six paths of reincarnation! "
At this moment, the world view of the six paths of reincarnation was completely unfolding in front of everyone's eyes. The shattered world might have been even vaster than before.
As they moved forward, they arrived at the end of the ancient temple.
Goosebumps rose all over their bodies, and they looked at each other. "Do you feel that the radiation intensity has increased by more than ten times?"
"It's like this. Living beings, do not approach … Even creatures like us, who are resistant to radiation, might not be able to withstand it. There must be a terrifying source of radiation in there that exterminates all living beings that come close. In the words of the myths, even after hundreds of millions of years, it's still emitting the poisonous flames of hell …"
"This is too terrifying. It's been going on for endless eras …"
Everyone looked horrified.
However, when they thought about it, they realized that the half-life of many highly radioactive substances was indeed tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of years.
"Keep going! We're already here! We must see what's inside! " Bai Xiaojun shouted, instantly boosting the confidence of the others. "Not only do we want to be the first team to clear the main storyline dungeon and obtain the unique reward, but we also want to know the truth of history!"
The others gritted their teeth and moved forward.
One step …
Two steps …
Creak! The door opened.
The radiation intensity instantly increased by a thousand times.
It was a meditation room at the back of an ancient temple. It was simple and unadorned, and it was completely empty. An ancient and skinny skeleton draped in a kasaya sat cross-legged on the ground. There was a halo behind it, and its entire body emitted a dazzling five-colored radiance, like the light of Buddha.
"My eyes!" Bai Xiaojun shouted. She felt her scalp going numb. "Run! We will die here! This is a huge source of radiation. It's too shocking. It's millions of times stronger than before … It's already in the range of visible light! "
One had to know that some of the more powerful radiation lines would also emit light. However, the terrifying radiance gave them goosebumps.
They ran with large strides, thinking of the monk that had turned into a skeleton. Thinking of the eternal halo behind him that had lasted for hundreds of millions of years, they could not help but be shocked. It was as if they had understood history.
"So, this is the truth of the Buddha's light?"
