Chapter 640 Protecting the Family?
"Is it the legendary era?" Zhang Hao stood behind the window, quietly looking down at the bustling city below.
Liu Mei and Huang Wentian stood behind Zhang Hao, looking vigilant. There are more god transformation stages coming in one after another, surrounding Zhang Hao.
Liu Mei said slowly: "The legendary era usually refers to the era before there are historical records. In that era, there were no historical records, no writings left, and even few relics. The specific time is estimated to be 100,000 years ago."
Zhang Hao thought for a while and said: "According to the harvest of Xuanwu Mountain, we can know that the high-level civilization came to Tianyuan Star 175,000 years ago. There are written records of 100,000 years ago. There is a gap of about 70,000 years in the middle." Expect.
What happened in these 70,000 years? Actually almost completely erased the traces of a high-level civilization? "
Obviously, no one in the room could answer that question.
After waiting for a while, Fu Yun who just came in said, "I think, only the upper echelons of the Holy Land know about this matter, or they may not know about it. Maybe you can ask this person from the Youlong family three days later.
In my previous casual practice life and travels, I also came into contact with these ancient families. It is said that there are many ancient forces hidden in the Eastern Continent of Kunlun and the Continent of Morning Earth. They exist in the form of families, and they only intermarry and communicate with each other, and it is almost difficult for outsiders to contact them.
But these ancient families controlled huge empires.
In addition, there is such a legend that the royal family of the great eastern country may be a collateral branch of these ancient families. The body of the ancient family is hidden under the shadow of the empire.
The rise and fall of the great eastern countries are the secrets of these ancient families' long-term prosperity. They cultivated their offspring during the change of countries.
However, such legends are hardly believed, so there are hardly any rumors. I didn't believe it in the past either. "
Zhang Hao nodded slowly, "If this is the case, some things can make sense. West Kunlun, Wusheng Tianluo Sect, Tianmo Sect, Shaoze Kingdom, Liuli Island, etc. did not attack Kunlun Continent, etc., but caused fertile soil. The reasons for the civil wars in the Continent of Earth and the Continent of Terrible Earth are quite sufficient.
In addition to wanting to unify the surroundings and strengthen itself, there is also concern about these ancient existences.
West Kunlun must know about this situation. The rest of the Quartet should have been informed as well. "
After all, Zhang Hao turned his head and said to everyone: "This time, the guardian family suddenly appeared, and the dangerous situation cannot be determined for the time being. Everyone, please work hard."
At this time, Nan Xiaoyun suddenly said, "Mr. Zhang, you said that the other party will arrive in three days. But now he has entered your dream. This situation is not unusual.
Although we don't have such weird spells, we are all practitioners, and some spells can still be deduced.
The distance is tens of thousands of kilometers, to lock a person alone, and to pull this person into a dream, so that all the surrounding gods will not be aware of it. This is simply impossible!
I have three guesses:
First, the other party got Mr. Zhang's hair, etc., and possessed abilities similar to curses.
Second, the other party is nearby, maybe even hiding in the white clouds in front of us, looking down on us.
Third, our insiders have been infiltrated.
Of course, we cannot take these ancient existences lightly. Maybe the other party has some items left by that... oh... advanced civilization.
But no matter what, the other party must pay a considerable price. "
Zhang Hao also gradually came to his senses.
It was indeed too shocking just now, but thinking about it now, it is as inferred by Nan Xiaoyun. The other party wants to be tens of thousands of kilometers away, lock on a person, and pull him into a dream. In principle, it is impossible to do so.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Hao began to arrange tasks, asking everyone to investigate all possibilities. However, Zhang Hao did not have much hope for this.
Sure enough, two days passed and nothing was found. The masters consciously carried out an internal review, but still found nothing.
In fact, those who were able to enter the core of the Dayang Group, obtain the spirit of the fairy, and become the real stage of becoming a god have been reviewed countless times.
As of now, the news that Dayang Group was able to create the spirit energy has not been leaked; now the outside world only suspects that Dayang Group has used other technologies to replace the role of spirit energy.
On the morning of the third day, Dayang Group was very busy, and it was almost time to put on lights. I was afraid that others would not know what important personnel Dayang Group was welcoming.
This caused great concern.
At noon, a special team entered the headquarters of Dayang Group, which is Ninghe City.
These people are really special, they wear almost the same old-fashioned gowns, which are somewhat similar to Taoist robes, but more rigid--they have surpassed the category of primitive simplicity.
The clothes are all blue-gray, with a lifeless atmosphere.
Also, the expressions of these people were extremely stiff, as if the whole world owed them, and they crawled out of the ground to collect the debt.
In the end it was the way these people moved - not by train etc, but by flying. But it was not flying normally, but sticking to the ground, like a ghost. They stepped lightly, and their figures blurred for a moment, which was a distance of three feet.
What's even more weird is that Dayang Group sent Huashenqi to contact him, wanting to test it out in advance. After the god transformation stage approached the opponent ten meters, the figure suddenly disappeared, and then inexplicably passed through a distance of about twenty meters, and appeared on the other side. The space of 20 meters in the middle seems to disappear.
The God Transformation Stage stood there stupidly, staring blankly at the other party moving forward, cold sweat already dripping down.
Strange things are certainly scary, but as long as they can be investigated clearly, or can be solved, it is nothing.
The unknown may be scary, but as long as it can be studied and analyzed, it's fine.
The most frightening thing is this kind of weird, undetectable, unknown existence.
"A total of 8 people!" Zhang Hao received the telegram ahead, and then stood in front of the gate of Dayang Group headquarters, waiting quietly. There are hundreds of real God Transformation Stages around, standing quietly around Zhang Hao.
Everyone didn't speak, just waited quietly. The heavy atmosphere is spreading, it seems that it is not welcoming the guests, but welcoming the kickers.
The oppressive atmosphere, combined with the surrounding environment decorated with lights and festoons, unexpectedly forcefully arranged a feeling of holding a ghost marriage. If it weren't for the fact that it seemed to be noon and the sun was shining brightly at this time, the audience around would probably be shivering with fright.
Even so, the tens of thousands of spectators, reporters, representatives of various parties and folk experts gathered around did not dare to take a breath.
Everyone is guessing what kind of power can make Dayang Group so dignified.
You know, the Dayang Group dares to challenge the Holy Land, regardless of whether it is the Holy Land of the Territory Island or the Fertile Land Island, they have to discuss with the Dayang Group, and the Dayang Group has never been so dignified.
Unless, several holy places unite.
Just as everyone was expecting, eight people who seemed to crawl out of the ten-thousand-year urn 'float' in front of Zhang Hao. The one who took the lead was Xiao Shan.
With Zhang Hao's current abilities in the stage of transforming into a god, he can't even capture the traces of the other party's movement. At one moment, I saw eight people in the distance, but at the next moment, they have already come close. It seems to be a supernatural power, and this supernatural power has almost become instinct-commonly known as the old driver.
A stiff smile was drawn on the face of the person in front, and he slowly said in a somewhat dull voice, "Excuse me."
Zhang Hao's heart suddenly relaxed.
The other party said "excuse me" first, and it can basically be concluded that the other party is not malicious - of course, this is only temporary, not absolute; when some bastards kill people, they will bow and say: Sorry, slippery.
Thinking quickly, Zhang Hao smiled on the surface, "It's an honor for Dayang Group to be able to come, senior, please come inside."
Xiao Shan nodded slightly, followed Zhang Hao to the right, and walked side by side to the Dayang Group headquarters.
Zhang Hao felt the surging power around him, it was a lie that he wasn't nervous; but he was more curious.
As for Xiao Shan, under the seemingly calm surface, his heart was also a little excited. He didn't look up to observe, but his spiritual consciousness had already enveloped the surrounding tall buildings.
'Such tall buildings have only been seen in leftover picture albums! '
Zhang Hao and Xiao Shan walked side by side, beside Zhang Hao's secretary, who was introducing the surrounding situation—mainly the situation inside the building. You have to find something to say, not too embarrassing. But I can't talk about too far-reaching topics, nor can I talk about important topics. It is best to introduce the current situation of the building.
After hearing this, Xiao Shan nodded slowly.
Zhang Hao, Xiao Shan and others were sent to the top of the building by the magic-driven elevator, and came to the sightseeing hall with a glass dome, which is also the conference hall of the highest standard. Zhang Hao naturally invited Xiao Shan and others to sit in the east, and the people from Dayang Group to sit in the east. in the West.
After sitting down and serving tea, Zhang Hao was the first to speak: "Did you use supernatural powers last time?"
Xiao Shan hesitated, then nodded slowly.
Zhang Hao understood at a glance that Xiao Shan had lied. It doesn't matter if this person is rigid, he hesitates to lie. Therefore, Zhang Hao continued to ask: "Dare to ask, does this supernatural power have a name?"
"Hmm... dreaming... technique."
Judging by your expression, it must be fake!
But it doesn't matter, what I want is this pit!
A bright smile appeared on Zhang Hao's face, "Then, can Dayang Group use our technology to trade this supernatural power?"
The corner of Xiao Shan's mouth twitched, and he finally sighed: "Forget it, I won't go around in circles with you anymore. The dream-entering technique is related to our core, so we can't let it out."
When Zhang Hao saw that the other party was going to showdown, he immediately rushed to ask: "Well, the younger generation is reckless. Then I have a few questions. Dayang Group has been in development for more than nine years, almost ten years.
Even if Xianshan Expedition released the news, it has been half a year.
Why did the seniors wait until today to come? "
Xiao Shan was stunned by Zhang Hao's question. The old man has a very high level of cultivation and is also very authoritative in the family. Who dares to ask him like that! But at this time, he was choked by Zhang Hao's question.
However, as an old antique, Xiao Shan also has his own way of doing things. He said directly and domineeringly: "I am here today not to negotiate, but to negotiate. We believe that Dayang Group is qualified to become the thirteenth guardian family.
It's just that the way of existence and management structure of Dayang Group is very unfamiliar to us, so we came here to negotiate.
If Dayang Group finally becomes the thirteenth guardian family, we will disclose a lot of information.
If not, then pretend we haven't been here today. "
Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment. Wait, wait, give me time to digest.
By the way, the number 13 is very meaningful.
After a while, Zhang Hao said, "I want to know the general situation of the guardian family."
"Of course." After Xiao Shan finished speaking, he took out a jade slip, which floated gently in front of Zhang Hao.
After getting the jade slip, Zhang Hao didn't recklessly probe directly with his spiritual sense, but first found out a wisp of spiritual sense and entered the jade slip. This strand of spiritual consciousness is very weak, thin hair.
This is a method unique to the transformation stage. This ray of spiritual consciousness is so weak, it doesn't matter even if it is taken away by the enemy. But such a ray of spiritual knowledge can detect danger.
Feedback came from the spiritual consciousness very quickly, without any danger. Then Zhang Haocai used his spiritual sense to probe the content of the jade slip.
It sounds troublesome, but it is actually very fast. The moment Zhang Hao received the jade slip, he checked the safety situation; then the spirit stone from the transformation stage penetrated into the jade slip.
In an instant, a large amount of data flooded in. There are so many of these materials, if it is written down, it will probably take millions of words, which is enough to form a grand historical tome. But even so, the records are some overviews:
It is said that about 145,000 years ago (the exact time cannot be estimated), a remnant of an advanced civilization settled on this planet.
But at that time, the planet was wild. There is no aura here, but the indigenous life that grows here is very powerful—because of the strong gravitational force, the life here is inherently tenacious.
In order to resist the strong gravitational force, even ordinary grass is as hard as wood. Some tall trees are as hard as metal. The animals here are even more amazing, their teeth can easily crush ordinary black steel.
Survivors of advanced civilizations have to change the entire planet if they want to survive here. They energize the core of the earth and bring aura to the planet. They released 'biomodification drugs' that changed the biological structure of the planet.
However, this change did not happen overnight, but lasted for tens of thousands of years. That is, during these tens of thousands of years, the survivors of advanced civilizations have been hit by internal and external difficulties.
Inside, it is the news received from Xuanwu Mountain. Because of the death of a large number of technicians, and because of the constant conflict between the management and the public, the technological inheritance was finally cut off.
With the severance of technological inheritance, the high-end equipment of advanced civilizations will soon be unable to be repaired. Civilization began to retreat rapidly.
However, external factors have been missed in Xuanwu Mountain. This jade slip gives the external factors.
Native animals, etc., mutated under the aura environment, and monsters...appeared! But in the beginning, monsters did not have exercises, but because of the internal struggle among human beings, some people began to raise monsters and gave them exercises.
Then, it is a typical case of not dying if you don't work. When the monsters have skills, the monster clan will appear.
Since then, mankind has experienced 50,000 years of chaos, civilization inheritance, etc., almost completely cut off. Only some masters of cultivation and the settlements they guarded survived.
During these 50,000 years, the continuous effects of "biomodification drugs", coupled with the tenacious life of human beings, finally defeated the monster race. The first new land to be fully developed is the Kunlun Continent.
In this tens of thousands of years of chaos, many powerful families, holy places, etc. were formed. But after tens of thousands of years, after a long river of erosion, there were finally 12 guardian families, some holy places, and eastern superpowers. Of course, there are also many holy places that came later.
It took Zhang Hao half an hour to straighten out all the information, but he also found many problems.
First of all, this jade slip completely justified the so-called guardian family and wrote many touching stories. For example, when encountering monsters or powerful monster army attacks, the guardian family will stand in front and let ordinary people escape for their lives.
In this regard, Zhang Hao has 12 points of doubt - every family is worthy of doubt.
Besides, it's time!
According to the Jade Slips, the time is about 145,000 years. But the countdown in Xuanwu Mountain is 174,665 years!
Instinctively, Zhang Hao believed in the time in Xuanwu Mountain. But on the other hand, a lot of information in Xuanwu Mountain has been made public, and the other party also gave 145,000 years of data, which is still placed at the very beginning. This is not an omission, but more like deliberate!
Zhang Hao finished reading, thought for a while, and then slowly said, "Senior, can I ask a few questions?"
"certainly."
"First of all, it is time. The time we saw on Xuanwu Mountain is 174,665 years! It is timed by advanced civilization equipment, it should be more accurate."
The stiff smile on Xiao Shan's face seemed to soften a bit, "This question is very simple. Because our planet... has slowed down!
According to our records, over the years, our year has been extended by about one-third; and the day has also been extended by one-third!
What exactly caused it, we don't know. We didn't have any idea until the information about Xuanwu Mountain was made public, perhaps because... the lifespan of our planet is about to reach!
And the reason why we are here now is because we have been doing this for the past six months. Besides, the Dayang Group has only been around for nine years, and we have many doubts internally.
Even now, we haven't been able to reach a unified internally, but we are still willing to make a contact. "
Zhang Hao complained a little. It takes half a year to make a decision? But having said that, for these Guardian Families that have been passed down for more than 100,000 years, half a year...maybe really fast.
However, Zhang Hao is skeptical about the "planetary lifespan" and the date.
If the time is really slow, then it can only be said that the rotation and revolution of the planet are slow. And this can only be caused by external forces.
In just a moment, Zhang Hao had an idea.
The first is rotation. This planet originally had no moon (satellite), but later it had a moon. Under the action of tidal gravity, the two planets are 'gravitationally locked' to each other, causing the planets to brake.
Is it orbiting... According to the records of Xuanwu Mountain, there was originally a planet on the periphery of Tianyuan Star, but this planet exploded, and the core (moon) was taken away, and became a satellite of Tianyuan Star. This will inevitably destroy the balance of the star system, and cause the orbit of the Tianyuan star to move backward.
And these should all be in the plan of that advanced civilization survivor. It's just that those survivors didn't expect that their civilization would be cut off due to various problems, leading to today's ending.
However, Zhang Hao is only guessing about the rotation and revolution. More specifically, astronomers such as Zhao Dahe are needed to observe, research, calculate and verify!
Zhang Hao pondered for a moment, and then continued to ask: "The guardianship family has been passed down for more than 100,000 years. But it seems that there is no inheritance of science and technology."
Xiao Shan sighed again: "We have thought about this problem. The technology of the advanced civilization in the past is too advanced, and the survivors can't master it at all.
Based on the analysis of the little data we have left, we believe that:
Technicians of advanced civilizations are only responsible for difficult maintenance and research. Ordinary technology is completely handed over to something called a 'computer'. These things...may be similar to puppet technology.
This leads to a problem. When senior technicians and engineers die, ordinary people are helpless in the face of those advanced technologies.
What's more, the monster clan was raging at that time, which made the situation even worse.
And in more than 100,000 years, many things about us have inevitably changed. For example, words; for example, the meaning and pronunciation of words, etc. "
Zhang Hao nodded slowly, probably understanding the situation. Even in the old Earth, ordinary people are helpless in the face of various technologies, let alone advanced civilizations. And if there are too few people, it is impossible to inherit a huge industrial system.
Then Zhang Hao asked another question: "There should be a lot of items left over from advanced civilizations, and they are hard to damage. Why are you almost invisible in the earth-like world?"
