The truth of the apocalypse was finally revealed, and it was far beyond everyone's imagination.
It turned out that the so-called Goddess of Creation was not a product of this planet, but an ancient creature who sowed the Seed of Life in the starry sky. Strictly speaking, the so-called Goddess of Creation was not the doing of this Goddess — the real cause of the ecological disaster was the first generation of life on this planet.
The first pope of the Disciples of Glory called the powerful creatures born directly from the Seed of Origin the First Born, which made sense.
Hao Ren could almost use his rich imagination to sketch the epic scroll of the ancient times in his mind: on a desolate and remote planet, a "seed" carrying a large amount of primordial life matter and magical power broke through the primitive atmosphere and fell on the barren surface of the planet. This seed may have fallen by the water, or even in some ocean, so the Seed of Life inside it suddenly exploded and created the first Spring of Creation on this planet.
The supernatural power contained in the seed quickly filled the barren planet with vitality and created the first powerful creatures... Millions of years later, this group of powerful creatures fell into a deep sleep, so the "seed" created a second group of intelligent creatures to fill the gap.
The second group of creatures was weak but smart, and their exuberant curiosity allowed them to build a glorious civilization on this planet and embark on a path of constant exploration into the unknown. Finally, these bold creatures became interested in the magical power of their origin. They found the "seed" that fell on the planet millions of years ago, trying to find the power to control everything.
The first generation of life was thus awakened, and they were quickly enraged by the behavior of their brothers. They started the apocalyptic war to reshape the ecology of the planet, and together with the short-lived third generation of life, they swore to wipe out their bold brothers and everything they had created.
At this critical moment, a certain safety device in the "seed" was activated. It forcibly stopped the activities of the first generation of life, and accidentally saved the "Second Born" who had made a grave mistake.
However, the First Born did not disappear. They were just sleeping deep in the earth, waiting for the day to wake up. When that day came, the ecological reshaping plan that had been delayed for 10,000 years would continue, and the whole planet would inevitably turn into a pool of blood again.
Hao Ren took a deep breath and slowly turned to look at the slowly beating heart that was soaked in blood. He knew what the First Born was.
At this time, the four ascetics were still immersed in a huge shock. The shock they received was far greater than that of the "heretic" Hao Ren. Big Beardy's face was pale. After a long while, he muttered to himself some forgotten secrets. "It is said that the early popes of the Disciples of Glory devoted themselves to unifying the countries of the world, trying to build an unprecedentedly powerful kingdom, and vigorously developing lost ancient technology..."
Another ascetic continued in a low voice, "But the fourth pope suffered a huge backlash when he promoted these policies, and was eventually assassinated by the extremist cultists."
Big Beardy's eyes were unfocused. "The fifth pope was elected in a hurry. According to the secret history of the Church, the fourth pope should have passed a batch of manuscripts from the first pope to his successor, but in the chaos, the manuscripts were lost …"
Hao Ren looked down at the leather on the altar. He knew what the manuscripts that were lost more than two thousand years ago were. It was probably what was recorded here, and it was a detailed version. But the thing that the first pope worried about could not be avoided. His inheritance in the present world was faulty, and in the end, no one knew the true course of the destruction of the world, and no one knew what terrible power was hidden in this world!
Y 'zaks frowned. He looked at the huge "heart" in the center of the grotto, wondering if he could directly destroy this thing here before the First Born woke up. But after hesitating for a long time, he did not dare to do it. Becky trembled as she pointed at the few messages. "According to this... the First Born should have woken up!"
"According to these messages, we have a group of ancient allies," Big Beardy suddenly connected the dots. "This is the truth about the Chosen Ones! The Chosen Ones mentioned in the prophecy should be the reinforcements that will come to help when the First Born wakes up! "
Four pairs of eyes immediately looked at Hao Ren, and then everyone understood: their previous guess about the Chosen Ones was wrong!
Hao Ren and his team could not be the aliens who made a pact with the ancient mage-emperors ten thousand years ago, nor could they be the reinforcements predicted by the first pope three thousand years ago. These guys were just temporary workers who came here to check accounts!
And the real Chosen Ones... did not come at all!
"The reinforcements didn't come," Becky's voice was a little shaky. "But this tree shouldn't wake up so soon, right?"
"I'm afraid it's really going to wake up soon," Y 'zaks said in a low voice. "Think about the various anomalies in Dragonspine Ridge, and those stone giants wandering around the Blood Lake — if they are the soldiers created by the ancient mage-emperors, then what are they going to do now? Who are they going to fight? "
Y 'zaks's words made everyone quiet down. They realized that a certain countdown was approaching midnight, and the day of the First Born's awakening was probably right around the corner!
At this moment, the heavy thumping that had been echoing throughout the grotto suddenly paused, and then sounded again, and it was obviously more powerful than before!
"Thump thump, thump thump, thump thump." A continuous heartbeat came from the huge entangled roots, and the pulsating red light between the roots became brighter with each beat. The roots connected to the heart also seemed to have awakened from a deep slumber, gradually emitting a trace of red light. Lily immediately gasped when she saw the situation. "We've woken it up!"
Hao Ren subconsciously took out his inspector's gun from his Dimensional Pocket. It was the most powerful thing at the scene, but he pointed it at the heart for a long time and did not pull the trigger. "Can this kill the First Born?"
The MDT quickly performed a wide-range scan and yelled, "No, we can't kill it. I've found many structures similar to it in the nearby caves. This is not its weakness."
Cold sweat broke out on Hao Ren's forehead. "Then how do we kill it?"
"… Evacuate immediately! Leave Dragonspine Ridge! " After a brief calculation, the MDT came up with the only feasible plan. "This is a super lifeform that is hundreds of kilometers wide, no conventional weapon can kill it. We have to carry out large-scale destruction to have a chance of defeating it. No matter what we do, the Beinz region will be completely destroyed in the end!"
Then it quickly checked the surging electric signals in the surrounding roots. "It's waking up … But we still have two or three days! Evacuate everyone! "
Two or three days … Just two or three days!
Hao Ren quickly pushed Big Beardy and said, "Quick, go find Ophra and Gelton and inform them of what happened here!"
"What about you guys?" Big Beardy immediately asked.
Hao Ren gritted his teeth and looked at the 'heart' that was visibly active. "At least cause it some trouble! Delay it as long as we can! "
Big Beardy gave Hao Ren a deep look and nodded. "Be careful … Don't wake it up prematurely!"
Big Beardy and the other three ascetics quickly left the cave. Their ingrained worldview had almost been shattered in the past ten minutes, so now they were blindly following Hao Ren's words. Soon, there would be more people like them who had their worldview shattered. But now, Hao Ren had no time to think about these consequences. He only knew that he had to weaken the activity of this thing in front of him!
Thump thump … Thump thump … Thump thump …
The heartbeat was no longer as weak as before, but a surging tone full of vitality. Even a blind man could see that this ancient giant creature was quickly waking up from its slumber, and Hao Ren could even vaguely feel something mysterious, he could feel the anger of this ancient creature that had lasted for tens of thousands of years.
Becky took out her longsword and a few magic scrolls. Finally, she wanted to cry but had no tears. "Easy for you to say! How can we deal with this thing! "
Hao Ren ignored Becky who was starting to get scared and looked at Vivian. "Do you have neurotoxin?"
