Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 801: The Enormous Ancient Creature!

“The Ancients...”

Meng Chao and Lei Zongchao chewed on the meaningful name together.

They both understood the meaning of the abbreviation used by the ancient ruins research center.

“So, is there really an inextricable relationship between the Ancients and Earthlings?”

Meng Chao asked, “Earthlings are not the original species on Earth, but they came from the sea of stars billions of years ago?”

“Even if we didn’t find Ruins No. 2, it is obvious.”

Wu Haibo calmly said, “In the vast sea of stars, there are two planets of almost the same size, gravity, elements, atmosphere, and ecosystem. The carbon-based creatures on these two planets can devour each other, as well as communicate with each other, and their cellular forms are not fundamentally different. However, we have only used half a century to decipher the mysteries of a large number of ancient civilizations. We can easily fuse the mysterious and complicated spirit tattoos into our bodies and activate extraordinary powers.

“If Earth’s civilization and the ancient civilization were not connected by blood, none of this would be explainable.

“Also, transmigration itself is the biggest evidence.

“Judging from the prophecy that the crystal skeleton left in Ruins No. 1, Dragon City’s transmigration was not a coincidence. It’s even possible that the ancient civilization ‘summoned’ us here.”

Meng Chao nodded thoughtfully.

Wu Haibo’s words were not a sensational and bizarre theory.

In fact, not long after they transmigrated to the Other World, the people on Earth began to think about their connection to the mysterious planet.

Other than the lingering spirit energy, the planet was too similar to Earth.

Spirit energy was the energy that human beings could quickly adopt and use reasonably.

From a certain point of view, spirit energy was simply easier for humans to use than heat, electricity, and potential energy. It could instantly accelerate the evolution of human civilization for tens of millions of years. It was simply a gift from the heavens.

All kinds of coincidences made it difficult for people not to doubt the relationship between the ancient civilization and Earth’s civilization.

“Then, why did the ancient civilization send our... ancestors to Earth? Why did they summon us here after tens of millions of years?” Meng Chao pondered.

“It’s difficult to find a clear and detailed answer to this question for the time being. However, through the comprehensive survey of Ruins No. 2, we have indeed gained a deeper understanding of the ancient civilization.”

Wu Haibo explained while he guided everyone deep underground, “Although Ruins No. 1 is located at the center of Dragon City and is not small in scale, most of its information and relics were destroyed by the war. It seems that thousands of years ago, a world-destroying war broke out in the Other World. An army of hostile forces invaded Ruins No. 1 and engaged in a fierce and long battle with the Ancients who guarded it, destroying almost every cave and every crevice in Ruins No. 1.

“The information and relics that were saved by luck were also eroded and peeled away because of the spirit radiation. When we opened up the ruins, they all turned into dust.

“Ruins No. 2, however, was different.

“The place was also attacked horribly, and the bombardment of space-based weapons from the synchronous orbit had an effect comparable to a volcanic eruption and a meteorite collision.

“However, because the attack was a one-time attack and Ruins No. 2 was very deep, even though the upper space was razed to the ground, the debris formed a protective shell that allowed the lower space to maintain its original state.

“Under the influence of the shock waves and the extremely high temperature and pressure, a lot of metals, crystals, and rocks formed magma that contained spirit energy. It invaded all the gaps in the lower space. All the air and germs were isolated, too. Plenty of precious information and relics were presented to us in a relatively complete form.

“As a result, many of the mysteries that we couldn’t figure out when we explored Ruins No. 1 were solved in Ruins No. 2. Many ambiguous and fragmented pieces of information were pieced together and verified by each other, hence we were able to sketch out the ancient civilization’s appearance.”

“Is that so?”

Meng Chao asked with great interest, “What exactly is the ancient civilization like?”

“First of all, we can be sure that the ancient civilization is an interstellar civilization that uses the sea of stars as its home. Its range of activities far exceeds the imagination of mankind. The Other World is definitely not their hometown. This can be deduced from Dragon City’s transmigration.”

Wu Haibo said, “Do you still remember what I said about the transmigration engine? The ancient civilization has mastered the technology to transfer the essence of an entire civilization—an entire city and all the living beings in it—to the other shore of the sea of stars. They used this technology precisely to spread their branches and leaves among the stars in the heavens as well as multiply.”

Meng Chao thought of the metal plate left behind by the Ancients in Ruins No. 1.

On it were drawings of Earth, other worlds, and many planets of the same size as Earth. Each planet was connected by arrows.

In the end, however, all the arrows pointed to a giant planet or even a star that was many times larger than Earth. It could not be drawn on the entire metal plate.

Also, when he had stepped into the portal, his brain had also received many mottled and bizarre images of various races and civilizations.

There were many strange-looking carbon-based intelligent creatures that he had never seen in the Other World in his previous life.

Could it be that the massive, star-like celestial body was the ancient civilization’s birthplace?

Were Earth and the Other World not the only stages in the universe where carbon-based intelligent creatures could roam freely?

If that was the case, the Other World was far from the endpoint for them and mankind!

“Also, the ancient civilization must have grasped a very mysterious technology to convert mass and energy.”

“It’s a technology that allowed them to absorb spirit energy quickly and allowed their cells to divide infinitely. Their flesh and blood would have expanded instantly, and they would’ve even had the special feature of ‘crystallization,’” Wu Haibo continued.

“They could also apply the vitality magnetic field to the materials around them, such as weapons and carriers. On top of that, they could change the shape of the weapons and carriers as they wished.

“In a sense, the ancients had begun to explore ways to break away from the body of flesh and blood, them develop toward a form of pure energy.

“It is easy to understand. Carbon-based creatures have their limits, after all. In the face of the boundless sea of stars, no matter how large and sturdy the body of flesh and blood is, it is still an insignificant grain of sand. Only by breaking away from the clumsy carbon-based body can an entire civilization be upgraded to a higher level.

“Oh, the term ‘upgrade’ is not very precise. The interesting guys in the ancient ruins research center found a technical term from the ancient books of the Earth era—ascension.

“We believe that when the ancient civilization reached its peak, it was very likely that they embarked on the path of Spirit Ascension.

“This also explains why we found many fossils of ancient ferocious beasts in the two ruins, but not many remains of the Ancients. It’s because they chose to shatter the carbon-based bodies at the last moment and transform them into pure information and energy.

“In other words, the remains of the Ancients were not annihilated. The spirit energy we absorbed, the spirit tattoos and runes we studied, and the ancient ruins’ summon that we heard in a trance could all be different forms of the Ancients’ remains.”

That speculation made everyone fall into deep thought.

Meng Chao’s heart was pounding, and he could not calm down for a long time.

He thought of the mysterious Kindling that had appeared in his brain.

Could the Kindling be part of a mission that had been left behind by the ancient civilization for its successors billions of years later?

“Of course, the theory of pure energy life forms is too vague, and there isn’t much evidence to support it. With the level of our Dragon City civilization, we shouldn’t be able to study such an unfathomable topic within one to two hundred years.”

Wu Haibo smiled self-deprecatingly and continued, “However, if the ancient civilization had just started on the path of Spirit Ascension and had yet to completely break away from the carbon-based shell, their research on the carbon-based shell itself, namely revolving life science and biochemical modulation technology, had already reached the peak.

“This technology is at the current stage. It is most suitable for Dragon City to digest, absorb, and rapidly increase its productivity and combat ability.”

“Leader Wu, are you saying that it is really possible for us to tame or even... mass-produce Apocalyptic Beasts?” Meng Chao pressed.

Indeed, the ancient mysteries and Spirit Ascension were too far away and should not be considered right then.

However, as long as the Apocalyptic Beasts could be tamed and mass-produced, Dragon City’s civilization would be spared from destruction, and it would have a much higher chance of winning any war between worlds.

It would not be too late for Dragon City’s civilization to gather the Other World’s resources and power as they slowly study the ancient mysteries when they were truly able to stand at the Other World’s peak.

“The ancient civilization’s biochemical technology is not as simple as simply modulating the Apocalyptic Beasts.”

Wu Haibo smiled and pointed around. “In fact, the the monster civilization’s lair in front of you is the ancient civilization’s strongest biochemical weapon!”

“What?”

Meng Chao was shocked. “Are you saying that the monster civilization’s lair is... alive?”

“At least, it should be alive before it was attacked by the space-based weapons. Not only the monster civilization’s lair, but the ruins below are all made of some kind of active carbon-based material.”

Wu Haibo paused for a moment and spoke in a more serious tone. “It’s not even a problem for you to imagine that the entire Ruins No. 2 is an enormous ancient creature.

“It’s like some kind of... ‘mother body’. All the Apocalyptic Beasts have been born from it.

“Even the passage we are passing through is not artificially excavated, but an organ in its body. The ripples on the surrounding walls are the wrinkles on the inner walls of the organ.”

Meng Chao looked around in surprise.

He found that the wrinkles and little granular bumps on the wall indeed had strong biological characteristics.

“Team Leader Wu, are you saying that we are passing through the intestines of an ancient creature?” Meng Chao could not help but ask.

“No.”

Wu Haibo said, “In terms of function, it’s more likely that we are passing through its birth canal.”
