Chapter 816 The Current Situation of the Eldest Son
Although the elders of the tribe try their best to maintain the inheritance of history and culture, there are still some ancient legends in this world that have been completely forgotten by the world. Just as people have forgotten the true meaning of the Dorasil pyramid complex, the other world above the zenith, and the real reason for the end of the Sun Dynasty, they have also forgotten everything about the "End City of Silador".
This is a myth that has been lost in history:
Buried beneath the Sun King's capital, Dorasil, is a dark side city shrouded in darkness. This city is Dorasil's mirror image in the underworld, and is called "Selador". This shadowy city has been hidden under layers of rock and steel since its founding, and is wrapped in a thick protective shell. This protective shell is permeated with the blood and spirit of ancient sages, allowing the end of the world to Everything that sleeps in Dusilador can sleep forever. In this forbidden place far away from the human world, huge houses without doors or windows can be seen everywhere. These huge stones are mined from the darkest and hottest underground. They contain the powerful primitive power of the goddess. They are destroyed by the never-ending thunder. Surrounded by force, the capital of the end is continuously charged. In the center of the city is the primitive cave known as the "Throat of Tokar".
Tokar, the king of giants, is a hunchbacked old man who is said to carry the whole world on his back. He was ordered to take care of the goddess's garden, but he destroyed the goddess's garden because of his bad temper. As punishment, the goddess ordered Tokar to carry the newly created world on his back and never to lie down to rest or to shake off the world. But Tokar's violent personality is difficult to control. He only agreed to carry the world on his back because he was afraid of the goddess. This terrifying king of giants is always looking for opportunities to get rid of his burden. The wise goddess discovered this, so she asked the ancient human sages to build a city deep in the world, named it "Silador" herself, and laid seventy-seven thunderbolts on Silador. The divine nails made of huge rocks suppressed Tokar's nerves, causing this violent king of giants to fall into a long-term dilemma, and the whole world ushered in stability.
Now Hao Ren and the others are standing in front of the "Cylador, the City of the End". The huge stone pillars bursting out with powerful electric light in front of them are the legendary "Seventy-seven Divine Nails", and the big hole in the center of the city It is the "Throat of Tokar", and the tentacles extending from the cave are the "nerves of the Giant King" mentioned in mythology. This is a mythical city that really exists, but unfortunately no one knows about it today.
If Hao Ren and the others could hear that legend, they might be able to deduce a lot of useful information. Unfortunately, this ancient story was discontinued thousands of years ago when a tribe encountered a plague. No one knows the myth of this underground city now. The explorers who rashly broke into this place can only stare at this magnificent sight with wide eyes, while guessing what role those stone pillars that emit electric light play in the entire system.
Hao Ren was not surprised by those tentacles. He was even a little relieved when he saw those things: he had known for a long time that the world was based on the eldest son. To him, seeing traces of the eldest son at this time just meant that things were progressing. . He looked around and found a slope that sloped downward on the edge of the platform, which led all the way into the weird city.
He led the team towards the city, Geisel following behind with his sword in hand. Bonia glanced at the hole surrounded by lightning and covered with tentacles from a distance before following. The little saint was very scared. She swallowed hard, prayed in a low voice, and then hurriedly followed. Picture Vivian: Being around the latter can make her feel more at ease.
The data terminal floats in the air, detecting the energy response of those huge stone pillars as it travels: "All the stones resonate with each other. This is a whole system. The whole city operates like a computer. I don't know that the discharge reaction here has continued. For a long time, its energy source seemed to be those tentacles."
Hao Ren thought for a while: "The eldest son provides energy to the city, and then the city in turn stimulates those tentacles with electric shocks?"
"It's not about stimulating, it's about singing a lullaby." A holographic projection appeared above the terminal, which displayed a three-dimensional model of the entire city. You can see circles of blue waves surrounding the large hollow in the center of the city. The waves are the electric light released by the seventy-seven giant stone pillars. As these blue lights surge, the electrical signals in the tentacles of the eldest son are also suppressed to a very low level. "These things suppress the activities of the eldest son."
"Only these stones?" Hao Ren's eyes widened. He knew how big the Firstborn on this planet was - this was a real adult individual. The three little tentacle monsters on the Horleta planet were different from it. There is no comparison at all. "Do ancient people have such brilliant skills?"
"So there must be some other force helping, and these tentacles initially seemed to actively cooperate in being suppressed," the data terminal instructed the huge stone pillars, "These things alone cannot suppress the big guys underground."
The team arrived deep into the city. They were very close to the ring of huge stone pillars with the strongest electric light. The crackling sound of electric current created an unsettling atmosphere, and the air was also filled with the smell of ionized air. . However, Hao Ren noticed that the currents on those huge stone pillars were controlled: they only jumped and passed at a height of more than ten meters above the ground, and there seemed to be no need to worry about them suddenly falling down.
Nangong Wuyue transformed into the form of a water snake and used water mist to create a huge semicircular cover around everyone, so that even if there was lightning struck down, it could be transmitted to the ground along the water shield. While maintaining this barrier, she looked up at the dark boulder buildings in all directions with some worry: "I don't know what's going on... I always feel like someone is staring at me."
"I feel a little bit like this too," Hao Ren frowned, "It seems like there are sights in all directions."
After hearing this, Lily immediately opened her eyes and looked around. She also wanted to see if her psychic eyes could have any effect, but it was obvious that the ghosts entrenched here were not ordinary ghosts. She stared around and found nothing. He had no choice but to flick his tail: "I didn't see it...but I don't like this place. There is static electricity everywhere. Look at what my tail has become."
Hao Ren took a look and found that Lily's tail had swollen to twice its size: it was caused by the static electricity in the air.
At this time, they passed a huge stone slab that blocked the only way to the central pit, with ancient characters of this world engraved on it. Nangong Sanba read it out: "Tokar's Throat...what does it mean?"
"It should have something to do with the giant who carries the world on his back," Geisel replied, "but everything about this city has been lost, and I haven't heard of it."
Bernia stared at those bright arcs with wide eyes, her curiosity and attention attracted by the wonderful sight of this city. And among those arc jumps, she seemed to vaguely see some figures flying around in the air. The little saint looked at these things with great interest, and her ears twitched slightly: "Goddess, they are singing~~"
Vivian was stunned: "Singing? Who is singing?"
Bonia pointed in a circle: "It's everywhere. Many people are singing into the hole in front of them."
Hao Ren did not let the little girl's words go unnoticed, but he looked around and couldn't find where the "many people" Bonia mentioned were. He realized that this was similar to the situation in the ghost town Domir: "I'm afraid it's a spirit that only she can see."
"You pay attention to what they are singing and saying," Vivian told Bonia, "but don't follow them casually. Those should be ancient souls. They may not have malicious intentions, but the place they are going to definitely You can’t go.”
Bonia nodded in understanding: "Oh."
They came to the huge pit called "Tokar's Throat", where the ground was almost completely covered by the tentacles of the Firstborn. Countless huge black roots stretched out from the ground to explore the surrounding electric stone pillars, with a faint electric light lingering on the roots. Hao Ren carefully came to the edge of the pit and looked down. He could only see a bottomless chaotic darkness and a little bit of vague red light in the darkness: it was either lava or the eldest son's. Some large organ.
The data terminal tested it and found that the tentacles here retained a high degree of activity. However, no clear neural activity of the eldest son was still detected: everything was suppressed by the surrounding electro-optical stone pillars, and these tentacles were sleeping as if they were dead.
Hao Ren dropped several probes into the cave as usual, and then waited for the probes to report the situation below.
After the preliminary data was transmitted back, the data terminal suddenly whistled: "Hey - partner, it seems that your original question has the answer: the energy source of this planet's ecosystem has been found out."
Hao Ren was immediately interested: "Where did it come from?"
"The Firstborn is devouring the planet itself."
