Chapter 290 Mural
Feeling the heavy aura of the earth, Zhou You and the elves were all stunned. After a moment, they reacted and slowly walked into the buried tower with a faint glow on the wall.
Groudon was not here, which made Zhou You somewhat relieved.
"Qiao Qiao, look at the lines on the ground."
Eden's reminder made everyone subconsciously look at the huge lines that looked like some kind of text on the wide ground.
Unfortunately, Zhou You had never seen relevant information in the Oak Research Institute. This time he knew nothing about the things on the ground. The only thing he could understand was the Omega symbol, which was the line that appeared on Groudon after the original return.
"The end of the land." Reshiram helped translate, "The symbol of Groudon is depicted on the ground."
Hearing this, Zhou You roughly determined the year when this buried tower was built.
About 1,000 years ago, a huge meteorite fell into the ocean, cracked the earth, and caused natural energy to burst out, which caused Groudon and Kyogre to transform into their "original return" forms and start a war in the Hoenn region.
Unless the builder of this tower came from an ancient time whose age is no longer traceable, it could only be a place built by the displaced Hoenn people during the war a thousand years ago.
The Hoenn people built this tower in the Johto region.
The tower that can summon the two idiots of Hoenn through the red and blue orbs...
Zhou You fell into deep thought, and a guess gradually took shape in his mind. Perhaps the purpose of building this tower was not to worship the power of nature as a god.
Just as he recalled that there were other opportunities for the Hoenn people to see the original Groudon original cover except a thousand years ago, Arthur found something on the surrounding walls.
So he flew into the air with a camera (flying here is a bit bold), using his tail flame as a light to take pictures of the murals on the wall.
The Polaroid camera quickly developed the photos.
Zhou You couldn't see the content of the mural in the distance. At first, he thought that the mural in this tower should be similar to the three murals in the Hoenn region, all describing the battle that took place a thousand years ago.
However, the moment he saw the photo, he realized that his guess about the construction year of the tower might be wrong.
There are words in the shape of unknown totems on the mural to explain its meaning, and at the bottom is its name - A Pokemon creation myth frieze.
※ From the setting draft of Detective Pikachu.
"How can there be murals related to the creation myth in such a place? Did the Sinnoh people also participate in the construction of the Buried Tower?"
How come there is information about the Sinnoh people everywhere in the Light Mountain, the Alufu Ruins, the God Capital Ruins, Padia, and the Buried Tower?
Zhou You then looked at the content of the photo:
On the far left is an egg in the void (cosmic egg), from which the alpaca was born, and then He created the three gods of time, space, and antimatter (from left to right), and then created the three holy spirits of the lake, red, yellow, and blue (from top to bottom), and then the alpaca fell into a deep sleep.
After that, Rayquaza, Kyogre, and Groudon appeared (from left to right), and then the Pillar Kings and the Pillars (Titans) appeared.
Finally, on the far right of the mural, it depicts the evolution of the first generation of the three great families from the Mew above.
"Qiao Qiao, what is painted on it?" Eden couldn't understand it at all, "I can only recognize the four on the far right, which should be Mew, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle."
Zhou You nodded: "Yes, what is depicted here is what the Sinnoh and Hoenn people have experienced from the origin of the world to the present."
Arzeus created the time and space antimatter of the material world, the emotions, will, and wisdom of the spiritual vision, and then fell into a deep sleep.
Rayquaza was born in the atmosphere, Kyogre was born in the ocean that gave birth to life, and then the life in the ocean went to the land and Groudon was born (although in mythology, the latter two created the ocean and the land respectively).
After that, there is Regigigas, which symbolizes the movement of the earth's crust, and the Pillar Clan it created.
Finally, all life in this world was bred by Mew.
Scientists have found the genes of all (known) elves in Mew's genes, and because it can master all skills, scholars believe that it is the ancestor of all elves.
"So is this true? Why are Reshiram and Zekrom not on it?" Eden seemed a little curious about this.
Zhou You spread his hands. All the "legends", "myths", "it is said", "believes" and "guesses" are the summary and inference of the objective world by ancient and modern humans. Even if they are recorded in the illustrations, it is difficult to determine how true they are.
Perhaps only by asking the elves in question can we get the answer, or even they don’t know the specific situation - just like the dream of the world’s original tree that knows nothing - maybe in the end we have to seek the answer from the alpaca or the three gods of time, space and antimatter.
Dialga, who can see through the past and present, probably knows everything.
As for why the black and white dragons are not on this...
"We have no connection with the creation, and we have never set foot on this land before, so of course there is no legend about us here." Reshiram explained.
Moreover, the black, white and gray split happened 2,500 years ago, which is not too old compared to the super ancient elves in this painting, so naturally they cannot participate in the "creation".
Compared with the natural world, they are more closely related to human civilization.
After putting away all the photos taken by Arthur, Zhou You carefully observed the surrounding terrain.
A huge and empty circular space, with the pattern of Groudon depicted on the ground, a gap between the central area and the edge of the tower, and a staircase made of green boulders that have been broken for the most part inserted between the walls.
Although Zhou You did not hold the other two gems, thanks to Reshiram's magical power, they still forcibly unlocked the seal.
The bottom layer submerged in the sea water was flooded, and it was not easy to go down without equipment for the time being, but the upper layer was unobstructed, and Arthur easily took him up.
The structure of the second floor is basically the same as that of the first floor. The difference is that the lines on the ground symbolize Rayquaza, and the room is filled with the energy of the sky.
The murals are the same as those on the first floor, and there is no further elaboration of the ancients' views on mythology.
"The photos have been taken, but unfortunately there are no inscriptions like the Seven Islands, so the things that can be investigated are very limited."
The ancient people living here do not seem to have the same desire to express themselves as their compatriots in the Dengshan Mountain and the Arufu Ruins. However, there is still a layer submerged in the sea that has not been explored, so it is not possible to say so absolutely for the time being.
"You can see that there is basically nothing here, and it is not suitable for staying overnight. Let's leave directly and let Reshiram seal it up again."
The elves have no objection to this. Except that Arthur seems to feel close to the energy of the second floor and enjoys the feeling of staying in it, the other elves have no special feeling for the atmosphere here.
Before leaving, when the door of the Buried Tower was closed, Zhou You subconsciously glanced at the blurred murals.
Is it an illusion?
He felt that the arrangement of the words on the mural seemed to have changed...
I don't know if the two new paradoxes will lock or not.
