"Do you … have no way to leave this primitive era and return to your own era?"
Gu Qing Shan carefully asked.
The old ape man replied: "There's no other way, this is actually the best ending for me — — - tell me what's the current situation outside"
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, but didn't mention anything else and only said: "A few tomb keepers have betrayed their duty …"
He told them about the Samsara War Shaman and Samsara War Generals.
"Ahaha … what a bunch of fools" the old ape man laughed.
"Why do you say that?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The old ape man replied: "Their duty is to bear the pain of the Apocalypse for the human realm, waiting until the Samsara's evolution is complete to enjoy supreme glory in the human realm. But now, they've betrayed the Samsara and abandoned their duty — — -"
"Their tragic end has already been decided"
Gu Qing Shan appeared confused.
— — -bearing the pain of the Apocalypse for the human realm?
That doesn't sound right.
"The human realm has already been stabilized, I don't understand why you would say that those people are bearing the pain for the human realm" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The old ape man asked: "Do you understand the word 'backup'?"
"I do" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Light, Dark, Sound, as well as the newly stabilized human realm, they are all only a backup, a form of insurance, a method to ensure that everything returns to its original state no matter what"
"I don't understand" Gu Qing Shan said.
The old ape man leaned forward a bit and stared at him: "The Samsara is the greatest weapon of the living beings, do you understand this?"
"I do"
"You've also seen the human realm — — you wouldn't actually think that was the real human realm, would you?"
"You mean …"
"That is only a basic backup, it can also be used for the initial screening to eliminate the Saint Chosens who are too weak"
"If there is a backup … then where is the real human realm?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The old ape man looked at him and didn't answer.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly regained her senses.
That's right.
This is the human realm, the Tomb of Inception.
Could it be …
The Old Ape Man looked at his expression and said, "It seems that you have understood. The human world is a part of the Samsara, the sharp edge of a great weapon, and starting from where I am, it is the original tomb of the human world."
A look of shock appeared on Gu Qing Shan's face as she asked, "What do I need to do?"
The old ape man explained: "You must enter the human realm step by step, search for its slumbering tomb, and then — — -"
"Completely awaken it."
Gu Qing Shan was silent for a moment, then she heaved a long sigh and said, "I see."
The old ape man took out a cane and gave it to Gu Qing Shan.
"Take it, push away the fire, and the Samsara will grant you the identity to enter the Genesis Tomb."
Gu Qing Shan took the cane and poked at the fire in front of her.
Clang!
A pitted stone fell out of the fire.
The stone was engraved with an indistinct mark, and one could vaguely make out the word 'three'.
"Seems like the Samsara has granted you a new identity" the old ape man said.
Gu Qing Shan asked: "This' three 'refers to — —"
"You are the third person to enter this place, tsk tsk, that's quite fast" the old ape man praised.
"I have the stone, what do I need to do next?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Take this stone and search from the Genesis Tomb of the human realm to the more glorious era of civilization, until you find the Ultimate Tomb of the human realm" the old ape man said.
"What is the specific method? Are there any requirements? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
The old ape man replied: "From the Genesis Tomb onwards, you must push the civilization forward. Whenever civilization takes a step forward, you will be one step closer to the Ultimate Tomb"
"The Ultimate Tomb of the human realm is the Ultimate Tomb of the human realm"
"— — -go there and awaken it"
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then asked: "Do all Saint Chosens have to participate in the progress of civilization?"
"— — -only Saint Chosens who find the Genesis Tomb are qualified to participate in civilization — — of course, the later you arrive, the later you will have to participate, and the harder it will be" the old ape man replied.
Gu Qing Shan nodded: "Thank you"
He held the bumpy stone in his hand.
Instantly, lines of blood-red text appeared in the void of space:
[You've entered the Genesis Tomb of the human realm]
[You've obtained the initial identity: Ancient Ape]
[From now on, you will work together with all Saint Chosens to push the progress of civilization forward]
[Once the progress of civilization reaches its end, you will be able to awaken the true human realm!]
[Attention: The Samsara will grant you Merit based on your contributions]
[With Merit, your strength will be unsealed in stages]
[Begin!]
All the blood-red text quickly faded away.
Gu Qing Shan noticed that his hands were slowly being covered in black fur.
— — -not just his arms, his entire body had turned into a true Ancient Ape!
The Ancient Ape stood up, moved his body a bit, then shrugged:
"What a strange feeling …"
"You'll get used to it, it's just a matter of time" the old Ape's gaze dimmed as he spoke.
"Do you have any advice for me?" the Ancient Ape asked.
The old Ape looked at him and replied: "Within my duties, I've said everything that needs to be said"
The Ancient Ape replied: "Perhaps you don't know, but I can tell that you're the type of person with wisdom and knowledge, I've always respected such people"
"How can you tell?" the old Ape asked.
"Your presence, as well as a natural feeling — — - as a researcher, it's easy for them to recognize their own kind" the Ancient Ape replied.
The Ancient Ape crouched down in front of the old Ape again, looked at him with a serious expression, then spoke in a low voice: "You've been trapped here for too long, and I'm a Saint Chosen, if there's anything I can help you with, it would be my greatest honor"
The old Ape asked: "What do you research?"
The Ancient Ape replied: "Mainly Mobile Mechs, as well as some Spatial technology"
"What Spatial technology?"
"Warp technology, but I've only dabbled a bit in this area, I have a friend who specializes in this field"
"What do you think of the research you're researching?"
"It's hard to explain, but when the time comes, I'll show you the Mech I created"
"Ahaha … you really do sound like a scientist"
The old Ape chuckled, his attitude becoming a bit more friendly.
"Really, is there any way I can help you?" the Ancient Ape asked in a low voice.
"Other methods won't work … the Samsara is constantly watching over a Saint Chosen, don't try to play any tricks in front of it, and don't try to take advantage of any loopholes" the old Ape replied.
The Ancient Ape sighed.
The old Ape went silent for a bit, then suddenly said: "Since you're in the same field, I'll give you a personal piece of advice"
The Ancient Ape appeared to be all ears.
"Don't try to show off miracles in this backward era, some might think that it's easier to control the entire civilization, but that would only lead the civilization down the wrong path"
"— — after all, this is the human realm, not the Heaven realm"
The Ancient Ape silently listened to him, then nodded in thanks: "I understand"
"Go" the old Ape said.
"Thank you, we'll meet again"
"We'll meet again"
The Ancient Ape took the rock and left the cave.
He stood at the entrance of the cave and looked towards the valley outside.
Only to see a humanoid ape giving off holy light, hovering in the air.
He declared to all the humanoid apes: "I am the God of the apes, from now on, you will all listen to my orders and work together to produce — — -"
Boom!
A bolt of lightning descended from above and struck the humanoid ape's body.
The humanoid ape didn't even get a chance to scream before his entire body was blown apart.
Clang — — clang — — clack.
A rock rolled under the Ancient Ape's feet.
The Ancient Ape picked it up.
A number was written on the rock:
[Two]
— — -so it was Saint Chosen # 2.
He had already been eliminated.
The Ancient Ape sighed and put the rock away.
"To lead the ape civilization forward … what exactly should I do?"
The Ancient Ape climbed up a large tree and sat on top of it, silently observing the entire tribe.
— — -this was clearly a small tribe that had only just formed.
The humanoid apes were still in a state of ignorance, they didn't have clothes to cover their bodies or food to fill their stomachs, the only commendable thing about them was that they already knew how to make fire by drilling wood.
How do I advance this civilization?
All of a sudden, the roar of a beast resounded.
The Ancient Ape turned to look, only to see a gigantic saber-toothed tiger appearing from the mountain stream.
The humanoid apes all screamed and scattered in panic.
Only a few muscular humanoid apes managed to suppress their fear and swung their heavy stone hammers.
Another group of humanoid apes raised their torches and shouted, wanting to stop the beast.
As the beast saw the torches, it naturally didn't dare to move forward, but it also didn't want to leave.
It crouched down not too far away from the camp, carefully observing and waiting.
The Ancient Ape on top of the tree fell into thought.
If this animal isn't leaving, it must have helpers or other means.
While the humanoid apes … only have stone hammers and torches.
How do we fight against the saber-toothed tiger like this?
Should I join?
No … if I join, I can only stop this attack, but I won't be able to advance the civilization.
Civilization — — -
The Ancient Ape stayed silent for a few moments, then suddenly took out two rocks from his body.
He crouched down on top of the tree branch and began to polish the rocks.
A few moments later, a new shape was carved out of the rocks.
— — -it became sharp and pointed.
