Inside the magnificent building, there was only silence. The one meter long Heavenly Stele was like a hibernating miniature dragon. It looked calm, but it contained an extremely dangerous power inside.
All kinds of mysterious instruments were scanning the Heavenly Stele unceasingly. Dozens of screens lined up at the side, showing groups of data. The supercomputing function was fully activated.
Just at this time, the buzzing sound of a machine suddenly transmitted from inside the huge laboratory. A mechanical voice resounded.
"It seems to be made of stone, but it's not. The composition is complex, it's hard to distinguish, it's filled with mysterious power. After preliminary calculations, it's stronger than the demonic god's experimental body in the database by a hundred … … times."
Of course, all of these were just numbers. It was just that when the machine was reading, it was just like that. After the number one, there was a series of zeros, and finally, there was the word "times".
Xiao Chen was astonished. He stopped his steps and didn't go forward to interfere. He had never looked down on science and technology. Now, he also wanted to see if he could analyze all kinds of mysterious properties of the Heavenly Stele with a different method.
"Detector No.17 found life fluctuation on the stele. It contains the life essence of a living creature … …"
The mechanical voice didn't have any emotion to speak of. It was very patterned. It even gave people the illusion that there was a cold metallic aura emitting from it.
At this moment, Xiao Chen's heart was shaken. He wouldn't be as calm as a lifeless machine. It could even be said that his state of mind was fluctuating violently. He had received a great shock.
There was life fluctuation inside the Heavenly Stele. This … … subverted the common knowledge of ordinary people. How could the ice-cold stele have life essence circulating around?
He recalled the speculation made by a certain almighty ancient text on the back of the eighth Heavenly Stele. He once said that the Heavenly Stele might be a person and not an object. This seemed to have been verified!
"After examination, there is no flesh and blood. There is no … … danger! Danger! Extreme danger! "
All of a sudden, an ear-piercing alarm rang in the huge laboratory. All the instruments were trembling and all the screens were blurry.
The Heavenly Stele on the platform was trembling slightly. A special aura was emitted. It was frightening. It was like a prehistoric beast opening its huge mouth to devour people.
Xiao Chen had a bad premonition. He retreated at lightning speed and rushed out of this magnificent building.
And at this very moment, the little pegasus carrying Zhao Lin Er also followed Xiao Chen and ran away.
Xiao Chen covered their bodies with a layer of multicolored light and used the Divine Evasion Technique to fly away from this place. He appeared at the other end of the underground world.
"Boom …"
Right at this moment, the entire laboratory collapsed amidst a heart-palpitating shockwave. All the instruments were turned into flying ash, and the place was completely razed to the ground.
Behind him, that destructive aura had not completely erupted. When Xiao Chen turned his head back to look, he discovered that it had formed a world of its own.
Moreover, it was obviously a world connected by a man-made wormhole.
That's right, there were six gigantic metal gates over there. They suppressed the four directions and sealed the six directions. Every metal gate was connected to a wormhole.
Outside, there was a giant instrument controlling everything. This was a product of a technological civilization. It was a man-made space-time passageway that channeled all the energy that exploded inside into another world.
The Star Gate!
This was what Zhao Lin Er said. She knew this place very well.
The underground world was a lost ancient civilization. Thirty thousand years ago, Nine Regions Empress Zhao Lin Er once obtained a large number of super technological weapons here.
Later on, when the Nine Regions fell into the enemy's hands and all living beings perished, she finally hid here but was unable to escape the calamity. Instead, she became an experimental subject and suffered unimaginable hardships.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt a soul was awakening. An unparalleled aura burst out from the end of the underground world.
He withdrew his aura in a split second and placed Zhao Lin Er and the celestial horse inside the Eightfold World.
"I don't need you to save me …"
In the Eightfold World, Zhao Lin Er used her long hair to cover the right half of her face. She was almost wilting as she sat helplessly at a corner and murmured with a gloomy expression.
The celestial horse was pacing back and forth around her. It revealed a worried expression and looked at Xiao Chen from time to time.
Xiao Chen didn't say anything. The silent passage of time could heal everything. He understood the knot in Zhao Lin Er's heart. However, he didn't want to say too much at this moment. He only made his move and erased the aura and clues left in the outside world to prevent that awakened person from detecting it.
He didn't want to make a move rashly. He wanted to observe for a while to see what this guy was trying to do.
Not long later, the six Star Gate returned to normal. The man-made wormhole disappeared.
The Heavenly Monolith was quietly floating in the void, it didn't move an inch.
With a flash of light, a silver-haired girl appeared in front of the Heavenly Monolith. She knitted her brows and muttered to herself, "The scan failed again … It seems like I have to refine some more powerful heavy equipment."
After she finished speaking, she disappeared along with the Heavenly Monolith. The Heavenly Monolith was moved to another location and was placed in another huge laboratory.
Not long after, this silver-haired girl found a pile of even more complicated instruments. After that, she clenched her teeth and cut her finger. She sprinkled a drop of blood and started to refine these instruments with her own divine power.
She used the supreme blood to make a product of the technological civilization holy. Moreover, it was the blood essence of the ancestral god. It could be said that she didn't hesitate to pay any price for this.
These instruments were the latest products developed after the otherworldly realm took over.
The scan and calculation of the Heavenly Monolith started again. All kinds of complicated programs were operating at high speed. All kinds of data flashed on the screen unceasingly.
"After calculation, the monolith can be considered as a perfect equipment. This is the first time I have grasped a part of its structure. It is extremely complicated and suspected to be an item that can't exist in this world …"
"Warning! Warning! Danger! Danger!"
The ear-piercing beep resounded again.
The silver-haired girl was waiting here this time. She hastily cut off all kinds of instruments and isolated herself from the Heavenly Monolith. This way, she managed to avoid another huge explosion.
"I don't believe that it can't be calculated. Everything can be quantified and rearranged. I must decipher the secret of the Heavenly Monolith!"
She clenched her teeth and made up her mind. She sacrificed a third of her own blood essence to refine these products of the technological era. Then, she started to scan and calculate again.
"Life fluctuation detected from the Heavenly Monolith. Blood detected. Thought detected. Danger! Danger …"
After hearing this, the silver-haired girl turned into a ray of light and attached herself to all kinds of instruments. She shouted, "Continue, complete the scan!"
"A drop of blood detected. There is a drop of blood inside the monolith. There is a human thought …"
Xiao Chen was secretly shocked. This was too unimaginable.
"Blood dried up, thought dispersed. The Heavenly Monolith's active energy has disappeared."
The ray of light transformed from the silver-haired girl turned into a beautiful portrait. She frowned and said, "What's going on? Why did it disappear?"
"After analysis and calculation, the Heavenly Monolith is empty. The drop of blood has dried up. There is no life fluctuation and thought. It is an indestructible dead object …"
The mechanical voice was reluctant to part with its emotions. It was reading the data in a very standard way.
In the distance, Xiao Chen frowned. He was puzzled.
In the huge laboratory, the silver-haired girl was even more furious. She shouted, "I have already made you produce Ganoderma. It is not wrong to call you the god of technology. But what can you do? There is no result!"
"Warning, warning, there is an unknown energy flow inside the monolith. Warning, warning, there is a complicated pattern arrangement inside the monolith …"
"Scan it for me!"
The silver-haired girl ordered.
"On every screen, there is a group of mysterious and complicated patterns …"
"This is …"
The silver-haired girl frowned.
In the distance, Xiao Chen was also puzzled. He couldn't understand it at all.
"Swish …"
The images on the screens all changed to something else.
"How did it change?"
The silver-haired girl asked.
"Endless variables, billions of changes. Just now, I only caught a trace of it. I can't calculate it clearly … I can't calculate it clearly …"
The mechanical voice was actually incoherent. It seemed like it was about to self-destruct.
The silver-haired girl snorted angrily and hurried to help.
At this time, there were suddenly a few more changes on the screen.
In the distance, Xiao Chen was shocked. He felt that it was the invisible path of Tao. It was actually displayed by this god of technology in a different form!
Of course, it was impossible for this to be the supreme path. It was just a rudimentary form of the Tao mark. It was far from the ever-changing.
Obviously, this silver-haired girl also realized something. She shouted anxiously and urgently, "You must calculate it and simulate it!"
"It can't be done. If you want to simulate it completely, you need to calculate it precisely for billions of years. Moreover, there can't be a single mistake …"
"Damn it!"
The silver-haired girl spat out these two vulgarities without caring about her image. She said angrily, "If you can't simulate it, you can just wait to be dismantled. I can give you life, but I can also take away your life!"
"Warning, warning, danger, danger!"
An ear-piercing buzzing sound was heard. Then, there was a huge explosion. Even the light transformed by the silver-haired girl couldn't stop it.
She escaped in a sorry state. A few Starry Gate appeared. The man-made wormhole connected to this place and guided all the violent energy away.
Just at this time, Xiao Chen suddenly made his move. After watching all this, he had a general understanding of everything. There was no need to watch anymore.
She wanted to use a scientific method to crack the Heavenly Stele and the supreme path imprint. He didn't know if this otherworldly girl was indulging in the wildest fantasies or extremely talented.
Xiao Chen evaluated as such. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the silver-haired girl. He covered her with his palm and fingers.
"You …"
Obviously, she recognized Xiao Chen. He caused havoc on the otherworldly world's ninety-nine layered stone steps and made Xiao Chen famous among the otherworldly deities. Whether it was those who lived in seclusion or those who traveled outside, everyone knew of his existence.
"Even the Demonic Lord's shadow couldn't destroy you …"
Her eyes revealed a horrified expression. She said, "How is this possible? How could you escape from the stone door … Impossible!"
She couldn't believe it. She couldn't accept this reality.
At the same time, Xiao Chen grabbed the Heavenly Stele that was gradually calming down. He probed it with his divine sense and communicated with the heavenly mark.
But at the next moment, Xiao Chen's expression changed. This Heavenly Stele that came from the Heaven Burial Valley didn't have any heavenly mark left behind!
"How could this be!"
Xiao Chen vaguely felt that something was wrong. Ever since this Heavenly Stele was taken by someone else, he had a bad feeling.
"Speak! Who took away the heavenly mark?"
Xiao Chen shouted.
"Haha … Are you talking about the tangible imprint that flowed out from the Heavenly Stele?"
The silver-haired girl laughed arrogantly. Her beautiful face looked very bewitching. Her eyes flickered with a cold glint. She said, "Don't think that you are the only one who can practice the Heavenly Stele Mystic Technique. There are also outstanding talents in my race who have comprehended it!"
Xiao Chen's heart immediately sank. Indeed, it was as he predicted. There were also people who were eyeing the Heavenly Stele. This was a very bad result. He had to enter the otherworldly world and chase after that heavenly mark. Otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable.
When he dealt with the silver-haired girl and wanted to bring Zhao Lin Er away, she was extremely stubborn and would rather die than leave.
To her, this place would be her everything. This lost ancient civilization would become the place where her dream could take off.
"I will build a bridge between this place and the technological civilization outside. This place has technology that is not inferior to the Ancestor God's. In the future, we can definitely continue to develop …"
This was the main reason why she didn't want to leave.
Xiao Chen searched this place carefully and unexpectedly found a purple bracelet in the silver-haired girl's room.
He was immediately startled. He was not unfamiliar with this bracelet. It originated from the Ancestral Dragon Village and could open the door to Mount Lu and other places. He did not expect to see it again after thirty thousand years.
It was related to the Ancestor Dragon and the Ancestral Dragon Village. This purple jade bracelet had an extraordinary origin!
Xiao Chen left the underground civilization world. When the sunlight shone on this bracelet, he could vaguely see the image of an Ancestor Dragon inside.
In that instant, he thought of many things. Then, he traveled through space and arrived at Mount Lu. He wanted to test the power of this bracelet again.
In the end, he did not open any door. Instead, a strange fluctuation spread out and cracked a huge rock under the Mount Lu waterfall.
"Rumble …"
A snow-white skull rolled out from inside.
"Who disturbed my peace? He's already dead, and you still won't let him go?"
Xiao Chen was stunned. There was still a remnant spirit in that snow-white skull that was about to dissipate. He was shocked to recognize that it was Tong Hu, who guarded Mount Lu in the past.
"Oh, it's you. You're late. I won't wake up anymore. Bury me …"
After saying this, Tong Hu's head was instantly crushed into a pile of bone powder.
Xiao Chen was silent. He had sent off another old friend. Everything indicated that the people and things of the past no longer existed. He used the yellow soil to bury the snow-white bone powder on the ground.
Xiao Chen left without hesitation. Half a day later, he returned to the shore of the Yellow River and arrived in front of the Ancestral Dragon Village.
There were many tall buildings there. It was impossible to see the scenery of the past.
He held the purple jade bracelet in his hand and used his heart to sense it.
A roar resounded. The dragon's roar shook the sun, moon, rivers, and mountains. The surging Yellow River water surged and huge waves rose to the sky.
Just at this moment, Xiao Chen's spiritual sense, which had entered the purple jade bracelet, felt like it was struck by lightning. He quickly retreated.
"Crack …"
The purple jade bracelet cracked and shattered with a bang. Bits of purple crystals fell to the ground.
A dragon-shaped phantom rushed out and submerged into the surging Yellow River water.
The Yellow River soared into the sky like a huge dragon. It stretched for tens of thousands of miles across the Divine Continent.
The Ancestral Dragon roared. The entire Yellow River suddenly condensed and turned into a stone river, forming a huge stone dragon that was tens of thousands of miles long.
The majestic aura suppressed the nine provinces!
At the same time, the roars of the Ancestral Dragons shook the sky at the estuary. Three Ancestral Dragons entangled with each other and spiraled over. They went against the Yellow River and danced their huge bodies in the air.
This was the beginning of an unprecedented golden age for the dragon race. The three Ancestral Dragons descended at the same time and rushed toward the Ancestral Dragon Village of the Great Desolate Lands!
