Chapter 1215 Weird Temple
Yes, in fact, when Hao Ren carefully observed the ruins of a man-made building floating in nothingness, he also thought of those majestic, ancient and mysterious temples in the Corpus space. However, he did not dare to do this. in conclusion.
Because the architectural ruins in front of us are only somewhat similar in style to the temple complex of Corpus, but in terms of details, the two are obviously very different: the temple of Corpus was built with mysterious substances beyond human understanding. Cheng, those divine products personally blessed by the Goddess of Creation do not belong to any substance known in the world, and this palace in space is obviously built with huge stones, and the patterns inlaid on it are also what the scanning device of the Giant Turtle Rock Platform can In addition to the ordinary materials analyzed, the regulations of the two temples are not exactly the same. The differences can be seen in the proportions of the four spires and the central building, the shape of the spires, and the styles of some architectural accessories.
But in any case, their general stylistic consistency is obvious, and there is no doubt about it: the man-made structure before us is connected with the temple of the goddess of creation.
"Things are interesting..." Hao Ren asked Nolan to release more probes to carefully scan this large building, and said while stroking his chin, "The style of the Goddess of Creation... Well, this place It is indeed very possible that there are traces of the Creation Goddess, but this thing in front of you is obviously a mortal artifact, which is a bit interesting."
Lily scratched her hair: "What do you mean? Humans can't build temples?"
Hao Ren glanced at the Husky girl: "At least so far, all the mortal races that have ever believed in the Goddess of Creation don't know what the temple on the Founding Star looks like, and there is no way to restore this 'painting style'. Horleta The temple of the goddess, the ancient temple in the Tanagus database, the man-made temple in Zhuomu's memory... They are all created by each race based on their own understanding and imagination of the goddess. This is because there is no real mortal race at all. I’ve seen the scene on the Founding Star. But this one... although the style is a bit off, it’s already considered a high-quality imitation.”
Hao Ren's words quickly received a response from Muru. The Guardian Giant said over the communicator: "Our mother is not keen on establishing religion, so the goddess beliefs of various mortal races are actually produced under the influence of bloodline memory. Acting spontaneously, the temples they built were all kinds of weird, and their descriptions of the goddess were also imaginative. The number of people who actually had the chance to reach the Founding Star to pay homage to the divine light was very, very small among all the 'Second Sons' - even if there were , they must have developed to a very high level and will no longer use stones to build temples."
"Maybe it's because of their culture?" Hao Ren raised his eyebrows, "Some fairly advanced races still insist on building houses with earth and stone. This is their tradition."
Muru shook his head: "There is no such group in my memory."
"That's either a coincidence," Lilit nodded seriously, "Maybe they were born with an aesthetic that is close to that of the Goddess of Creation, and when they built their house, it happened to be the same as the one on the Founding Star."
Vivian glanced at Lily: "Do you know how low the probability is?"
Lily: "..."
"Even counting all the hairs on your tail to a decimal place may not be enough."
"Bat, how dare you insult my tail! I'm going to duel you after you finish cooking!"
"Can you two be quiet?" Hao Ren glanced at the two enemies, then turned to look at Nolan, "Prepare to teleport and project. I want to go there and see for myself."
Before the ship girl could say anything, Lily had already raised her hands and jumped up: "I'll go together, I'll go together!"
Hao Ren rolled his eyelids. He was not surprised by this situation at all. In fact, when he decided to go there in person, he was ready to take the dog girl with him: under any circumstances, you cannot suppress a husky from going for a ride. Desire...
"There is no need for others to follow," Hao Ren looked around. "The probe has already scanned the structure of the building. There is not much space inside, and there is no dangerous energy reaction. Lily and I can just go over and take a look. If I will send you a signal if there is any situation."
Vivian actually wanted to follow, but she was not a willful girl, so after hearing Hao Ren's arrangement, she just nodded: "Be more careful. Also, Big Dog, protect the landlord."
Lily waved her hands and tail carelessly: "Don't worry, don't worry, the landlord is better than me now, he will definitely be able to protect me."
Everyone: "..."
"Can you at least play your role as a loyal dog?" Vivian put her hands on her forehead helplessly and sighed, "Before, you could at least help look after the home and care for the home. Why have you become so useless now..."
However, at this time, Lily could no longer hear Vivian's thoughts behind her: the super-mobile husky girl followed Hao Ren and had already arrived at the teleportation preparation room near the bridge with great joy.
The next moment, she and Hao Ren were sent directly to the floating temple by the space projection device.
After getting closer, Hao Ren realized even more that this seemingly dilapidated stone building was actually quite grand in scale and astonishingly exquisite.
Although it is built of primitive stone and cannot compare with the real residences of the gods in Corpus, this temple built by mortals is still impressive, and the exquisite reliefs and mosaics on the building's outer walls reflect the work of the craftsmen. The elaborate and skillful construction, the tall and magnificent main body of the building showed the hard work and effort of the builders. Just looking at such a ruin, Hao Ren could imagine that the people who built this thing in the past must have done it with a high sense of pride and responsibility. of this great project.
But besides sighing, he felt something strange.
Because such a man-made building is floating alone in the vast space. Its style looks like a religious temple in the medieval era. However, it is now bathed in starlight in the universe. Around it, the span reaches 10,000. Light years of material vacuum.
Such a temple floating in empty space cannot help but create a strange feeling.
After Hao Ren and Lily adjusted from the brief sense of dislocation caused by the teleportation, they followed the guidance information sent by the scanning probe to find a way into this strange building. They soon saw the entrance where Probe No. 1 entered. :
There is a long and narrow opening on the front of the main building, which leads to the interior.
"This looks like a window," Hao Ren said casually as he passed through the opening. "The lower half of the building is gone, so the formal door must be in the lower half."
Lily followed Hao Ren with a curious look in her eyes: "Landlord, how many years did you say this thing has been floating here?"
"God knows, I haven't measured it yet, but I guess it's another ten thousand years," Hao Ren shrugged. "Anyway, these old antiques in the Dream Plane were basically turned into 'relics' ten thousand years ago."
The interior of the temple was of course pitch black. The cold starlight from distant space seemed too weak here, and the vacuum environment in the temple also prevented light diffusion here. However, a small bright spot flew past Hao Ren's eyes and quickly It became brighter, and a soft halo of light spread around, instantly making the place as bright as day.
That was the probe that flew into the building before. This gadget had a photon generator, which could serve as a good light source in this situation.
Hao Ren pulled Lily and floated forward.
The interior of the main building is a large, open space without complicated walls and corridor structures. Basically, it can be seen clearly at a glance. Hao Ren saw that there were four stone bridges extending from the surrounding walls in this magnificent hall. , the stone bridge connects a large round platform in the center, which hangs in the air in the hall. Religious objects such as small columns, pulpits, and stone statues can also be seen on it. Above the suspended round platform, the dome of the hall is open. The huge circular skylight is covered with complex hollow patterns. Behind the hollows, the stars in the distance can be vaguely seen.
When this building was still on the surface, every time a religious leader preached on the circular platform, he would be bathed in holy light.
"There must have been a lot of people worshiping here." Lily also saw the round platform. As a literary dog, the image she could associate with it might be much stronger than Hao Ren. "This round platform is prepared for preachers, believers. Just listening to the lecture in the main hall below, I guess the skylight of this thing must have been designed to keep out rain, otherwise the bishop would be stupid when it rained..."
Yes, Literary Dog's visual imagination is indeed much higher than that of Hao Ren.
Hao Ren floated towards the round platform. On the way, he glanced down and saw a thick darkness below. The building was neatly cut off by that layer of darkness, as if it had been swallowed by something.
His attention was immediately drawn to the darkness.
This building is cut off in the middle, and the middle should be connected up and down. When you lower your head, you should see the stars on the opposite side. How could such an abnormal black shadow appear? !
He immediately pulled Lily's tail: "Let's go down and take a look."
"Ouch."
