The authenticity of the clue was questionable, but at least it was better than running around like a headless fly.
As for how the clue came about, he would have to ask the two girls who had fainted behind him.
After walking back and forth along the corridor, Lu Sheng soon found a room with a similar symbol to the one on the parchment.
The door of the room was closed. Lu Sheng looked up and reached out to twist the doorknob. It was stuck.
He used a little more force.
"Click."
The door opened.
A large cloud of dust rushed out from the room. A dark red diamond-shaped lamp was hanging in the middle of the room, flickering with a red light.
"There's light?" Lu Sheng looked around in surprise and confirmed that there was no power supply.
He walked closer to take a closer look and found that the lamp was carved from a pure red fluorescent gemstone.
Directly below the lamp, there was a strange magic array with a triangle inside a circle. There were three different symbols on the magic array in three different directions.
The three symbols looked like a dying man, a leaping deer, and a twisting bull.
Lu Sheng dragged the two girls through the door and walked a few rounds in the middle of the formation. Soon, he discovered that the floor tiles behind the human-shaped symbol seemed to be movable.
"Up." Lu Sheng waved his hand and one of the tiles on the ground slowly rose up, revealing a green pillar hidden on the west side.
The pillar was connected to the bottom of the tile, like a giant test tube filled with a green fluorescent liquid.
Lu Sheng waved his hand again and the pillar floated up on its own and slowly flew into his hand.
Then he checked the stone tiles behind the other two symbols, but there was nothing but ordinary ground.
After leaving the room, he quickly found two other rooms nearby, which had the same layout.
From those two rooms, he found the other two emerald green columns. The three columns were found under the floor tiles behind the three different symbols.
With the three pillars, Lu Sheng quickly found a room that was missing three symbols.
The three symbols in this room were three deep circular holes.
"It looks like a trap or a puzzle game." Lu Sheng took out the three pillars and looked at the two girls behind him.
"Don't you think so?"
The two girls were still unconscious, but when they heard Lu Sheng's voice, they couldn't help but shiver.
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes and stared at the two of them for a while. Then, he turned around and inserted the three cylinders into the formation on the ground.
Crack.
Suddenly, a faint, crisp sound came from the ground.
Then, the whole house began to tremble slightly.
The array slowly lit up with a greyish-white light. In the middle of the light, a floor tile slowly rose from the ground. Underneath the floor tile was a cylindrical cavity.
Inside the cavity was a book, a black book soaked in a pale white liquid.
Lu Sheng stepped forward and felt for the switch of the cavity from the side. He pressed it lightly.
Immediately, the pale white liquid in the cavity quickly disappeared. In less than ten seconds, the entire cavity was emptied of all the liquid.
Puff!
A pungent stench rushed over, and the empty cavity suddenly bounced open, emitting an extremely unpleasant and irritating smell.
Lu Sheng's expression did not change. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the booklet.
"This booklet …" He took it and looked at it carefully. He did not recognize any of the symbols on the cover.
He flipped open the cover. The pages were filled with scribbled words and symbols. They were so dense that they looked like countless tadpoles. He could not understand the meaning at all.
As he flipped through the pages, Lu Sheng kept seeing special diagrams that looked like magic formations in the middle. There were also many detailed explanations beside the diagrams.
Whoosh.
Suddenly, he stopped flipping through the pages.
"The Language of E …" He discovered the Language of E! The Language of E did not require one to understand the same language. It could communicate across languages. It was a tool that directly transmitted voices to the cognitive system in the minds of intelligent living beings.
Anyone with ears would be able to understand it.
In his surprise, Lu Sheng slowly read the words in the Language of E on the cover.
His voice reverberated in the room and bounced back. This allowed Lu Sheng to finally understand what was going on with these people.
"The end is coming …"
"Those damned undying monsters have taken over the entire galaxy and occupied all the places where they can move."
"Without water and food, I don't know how long I can live, but I hope to die after Contasha. May fate bless you … my most beloved daughter."
Putting down the booklet, Lu Sheng looked at the two girls behind him.
"Contasha?" He suspected that one of the two girls he captured was the Contasha mentioned in the booklet.
After thinking about it, Lu Sheng continued flipping. As expected, he soon found another note written in the Language of E.
"… More and more people are dying. Those undying monsters have taken over the food production factory. The water supply system is also broken. Without food and water, we won't be able to hold on for long. We must think of a way! "
"Oh my god! How can we destroy those monsters?! "
"They've taken over too many places … We've already lost contact with the outside world … The end! The end is coming! "
The record ended there. Lu Sheng continued flipping, but he could not find any more records in the Language of E.
Putting the booklet away, Lu Sheng dragged the two people out of the room. He sped up, and with a few leaps, he returned to the spot where he entered the door.
He walked along the corridor and went down the stairs. Soon, Lu Sheng exited the hall and returned to the small courtyard where he first landed.
"Hiss …"
Suddenly, there was the sound of something burning.
Lu Sheng turned around and saw that the two girls he had tied up were burning in the air. They were burning very quickly. In just a few seconds, the two of them were gone, leaving only black ashes on the ground.
Lu Sheng frowned and stood where he was. Suddenly, he seemed to have remembered something. He quickly took out the booklet that he had just obtained from his bosom.
He flipped it open under the light.
As expected, the entire booklet was blank. Only the second page had a line written in the Language of E.
"Beware of the Anomaly …"
"Anomaly?!" Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat.
He repeated it several times to make sure that he did not hear wrongly. The Anomaly in the Language of E was most likely the Anomaly that he knew of.
'Looks like the cause of the complete destruction of this world is most likely the Anomaly.
'Too bad I don't have the time to deal with this now. Anomaly … the Void Root …'
He vaguely remembered that the Void Root and the Children of the Original Core had a close relationship with the Anomalies.
Perhaps he could obtain some information from the Void Root.
After taking one last look at his surroundings, Earth Qi rose from beneath Lu Sheng's feet. He turned into a streak of yellow light and shot toward the horizon, heading toward the spot where he had left the light mark.
…
…
A month later.
The conflict between the Star Spirit and the Palaeozoic grew more intense.
The Green Branch Sect's planet was affected more and more. Even Lu Sheng's Shun Ying Planet was attacked by energy radiation twice in a row.
The most shocking incident was the complete explosion of a galaxy seven days ago. Dozens of planets and a star exploded one after another in an extremely short amount of time, forming a rare supernova ring.
The lasting ring was located in outer space thousands of light years away. It lingered for a long time. A few weeks later, the Shun Ying Planet could still see the light coming from it.
Lu Sheng ordered his subordinates to organize the migration as soon as possible. At the same time, he prepared to cultivate in seclusion. He wanted to convert the eight million Mental Energy units he had just obtained into his own strength.
The calamity was upon him. He had to acquire some special methods to deal with the trouble that might befall Ali at any time.
In the underground cavern of the Shun Ying Planet near the Planet Core.
Scorching lava flowed slowly beside Lu Sheng like a river. The air was filled with a terrifying heat that could almost burn a person alive.
Lu Sheng sat cross-legged beside the lava river. The red and yellow lights illuminated his entire body. He did not need any illumination at all.
"Deep Blue," he called out slowly after regulating his breathing.
A light blue interface suddenly popped up before his eyes.
Lu Sheng looked at the power he currently possessed.
He had 9,230,000 Mental Energy units left.
His main cultivation method was still the Qianshen Method. His tier was still the third tier of the Void Wheel that he had forcefully raised with his Mental Energy.
Lu Sheng looked at the columns below.
'Origin Power — Death Flame.
Divine Vein — Mystic Water, Frost, Power, Poison, Flame. '
Up until now, he still did not know how to use Divine Veins. Different Divine Veins could be combined to form different mystical abilities. For example, the Mystic Water Divine Vein formed the Eye of Gesangna.
These Divine Veins must have special abilities that he did not know about. However, he did not understand them yet.
Then, there was a huge pile of special abilities.
These were the summary of the powerful abilities he had cultivated from various worlds. For example, Ocean Affinity, Flame Affinity, Faith Gathering, Plant Blessing, Eight-Headed Inner Devil, Cold Immunity, and so on.
There was a huge pile of them. Even Lu Sheng could not figure out how many abilities he had.
He rummaged through them and quickly found a few that would be useful to him in this situation.
The Eight-Headed Inner Devil and various types of energy immunity.
The former was left behind by the Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Dao. The latter was the various resistances he had left behind in the various fantasy worlds. He was completely immune to Frost, Flame, and extremely resistant to poison. He was also slightly resistant to other types of energy.
After learning how resistant he was to different types of energy, Lu Sheng also modified the Earth Qi Defense Formation he had set up on himself.
He melted some special materials and carved Resistance Formations against other types of energy on his body and clothes.
Then, he went to the Green Branch Sect and used all his benefits and shares to exchange for a truly special robe — the Martial Virtue Robe.
The name was lame. Naturally, it had something to do with the aesthetic standards of the craftsman who made the robe. Lu Sheng did not comment. However, the robe's function was very practical.
This Daoist robe had some defensive properties even against Void Underworld experts.
Most importantly, it had the ability to weaken attacks of most attributes below the Void Underworld realm. It was weakened by 50%!
It was said that the robe was made from a thousand-armed monster that the sect master, Yuan Qingli, had slain in the alternate world. The toughest and most durable scales were used to polish the robe.
