Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 503: 503

Chapter 504-Back View

In the dark underground valley, there was a vast stone forest. Strange stone pillars stood upright, and water flowed down below. Glowing fungi and plants emitted obscure light in the stone forest.

The wind howled, and dragons flapped their wings.

A beautiful silver dragon moved between the towering stone pillars, emitting a gentle light that dispelled the darkness. However, in the vast underground world, this bit of light was just a candle in the darkness.

Kant and Ah Xing sat on Lily’s back and observed their surroundings.

Horus released a flying probe, and a few ball-shaped machines scanned the surroundings.

According to Lily, if one decided to follow the guidance of the time flashback phenomenon and search for clues from the past, they had to find clues worthy of attention from the memory fragments of the past and go to the present world. Only then would they trigger the next time they flashback and see more scenes from the past.

But this was only a guess.

There were only three cases of time flashback, but the one worth considering was probably only the first case.

The Green Emperor had too many flaws. In order to vent his anger and arouse the sympathy of the people and nobles, as well as the vigilance of the Starry Sky Temple against the regime’s secret invasion, he did not hesitate to self-destruct and expose the Tauren incident to the world. In order to prove the reliability of his words, he even told the details of the space-time flashback phenomenon in detail. It also successfully provoked the long-standing dissatisfaction of the nobles in the country towards the Starry Sky Temple.

However, the emperor paid a huge price for it.

The literary world of the entire continent was in a state of ecstasy. All kinds of artistic modifications and doujinshi emerged one after another. Even hundreds of years after the fall of the Vertuan Empire and the Starry Sky Temple, this emerald story was still a colorful stroke in the history of world literature. It was one of the most enduring materials in the industry.

The Green Emperor of Vertuan naturally became Wen Tailai of the Other World.

Under such circumstances, it was inevitable that the records of the emperor’s flashback could not be fair and objective. Even if all the materials collected were first-hand materials, it was difficult to ensure that the dragon scholars who recorded the matter did not subconsciously make artistic changes. This was almost inevitable.

As for the third case, the Light Bearer who tried to preserve the tinder in the Dark Age, due to the collapse of the world and the chaos of the world, the dragons had no choice but to flee and seek survival. The dragon documents responsible for recording everything could not fairly and truthfully record the last tragic struggle of the previous era.

However, out of respect for the tiny ants who could not shake their fate, they made an exception and determined that this case, which could not be verified in detail, was a real time flashback.

For in the age of destruction, there was no other motive that could explain why such champions would stay in the hopeless land of death, gathering the lost, raising the last flag, calling for the survivors of the races to gather and welcome the end of destruction with the morality of sacrifice, courage, hope, and defense, instead of turning into beasts at the moment of extinction, wantonly burning, killing, and looting, and then wailing like hyenas.

The strict and cold dragons chose to end an era with romantic feelings.

Compared to other explanations, they would rather believe that what the Light Bearer and her followers did was the last group of Extraordinary individuals of this era trying to show the last greatness and glory of life to the apocalypse, the gods, and the new life of the next era, and to leave a spark of hope.

Therefore, they were willing to believe that the great guardian had indeed received enlightenment from the past. A great forerunner had shown her some kind of bright and great picture, giving her guidance, guidance, and enlightenment… However, such a story did not have a happy ending.

The final struggle of going against the current was easily destroyed by the surging tide of the apocalypse. It was swept into the torrent that destroyed everything, and it did not even cause a ripple.

With respect, the dragon scholars could read and sigh about the deeds they had recorded through hearsay and hearsay, but they could not study and explore them as conclusive examples.

The evidence was conclusive, and this should be the first case.

The Lydes dwarves had done a big job. Because it was too classic, the consequences were too serious. The bragging before the accident, the clearing after the big mess, after the demons retreated and the hell was sealed, it was clearly verified by the various races who gritted their teeth and repeatedly checked. There should be no doubt.

” On the way to the mine, the dwarf lord followed the map in his memory and saw more time flashbacks. After he finally found the path to the furnace and opened the initial passage, the frequency reached its peak. As he explored the endless mine, the time flashbacks became more and more frequent. This example is undoubtedly true. Combined with the situation of the Green Emperor, we can roughly draw a conclusion.”

As Lily flew around the stone forest, she said,” Time flashback can continue to be triggered in a specific place, but it may not only be triggered by this condition. It may also be an obsession, an idea, or even a special person. For example, the emperor suspected that his wife was cheating on him, and his son was not like him. He thought about it all day long, so he suddenly triggered time flashback when he was hugging his wife.”

“..”

Good heavens, this trick was something that even his brother had never seen before.

That scene was too beautiful, it was simply unimaginable.

Kant wept for his brother, the emperor, who had left his name in history.

According to Lily, thousands of years after the fall of the Vertuan Empire, according to the general law of historical development, all memories of the once prosperous empire should have disappeared, only known by a few nobles and scholars. However, due to the sacrifice and contribution of the emperor, the cultural influence of the archeology, novels, plays, and other aspects of the Vertuan Empire continued. Even the civilians knew about it.

The fate of this country was unknown and unpredictable.

“But according to what you said, why did I experience a time flashback?” he asked with a frown.

In other words, he, the gorilla, Lily, Horus, and even the dragons were here. Why was he the only one who had experienced a time flashback?

The flying dragon raised her neck. Kant could see her rolling her eyes.” How would I know?”

Kant wanted to say something, but a moment later, a strong flame flashed before his eyes.

– Coming!

The space-time string suddenly disappeared, and the white fog world lost its response.

Horus, who had turned into a few probes and was scanning the surroundings, the silver dragon beneath him, the whistling of its wings, the two milk cakes that Ah Xing had stuck to its back, the image, the sound, and the touch-all of them had disappeared.

It was as if he had really arrived at another level of time.

Kant looked down and saw that the silver dragon’s beautiful, shiny, and smooth body had disappeared. All that was left was its legs spread apart and suspended in the air. It looked like a silly man who had not loaded his vehicle after reading the picture.

After he realized this, he felt the surrounding scene tremble. Akatum’s divine power of time and space gave him a keen sense of time and space changes, and he sensed the tremors of the time fault.

Kant’s heart skipped a beat. He immediately threw those thoughts out of his mind and looked up.

He saw the flickering flames in the distance. In the distance was a huge stone bridge, rock walls, and carvings. A group of humanoid creatures lined up in a long line, holding torches, and advancing silently. These humanoid creatures had different sizes, and the style of their armor was different from the mainstream of the continent. At the very front, there was a figure walking silently.

The people behind her kept a certain distance from her, not even daring to look directly at the figure. The figure held a torch in one hand and a flag in the other, leading the way.

For some reason, Kant’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the figure.

He felt a strange sense of familiarity.

It was as if the gaze that transcended time had made people in the past feel something. The person holding the flag suddenly stopped and turned around. Kant focused his vision, wanting to see the person’s face clearly. However, the moment the person turned around, time and space trembled.

The next moment, his body shook violently and he fell forward involuntarily.

Then, a warm and strong arm wrapped around him.

The scenery before him changed. The silver dragon’s slender neck, cute dragon horns, and shiny scales came into view. It was Lily, the dragon lady, who was riding it. The one pressing the pancake behind him was Ah Xing. The spherical probes floating around him were Horus, who had deliberately retreated from Kant’s back to make it easier for Ah Xing to press the pancake.

“What’s wrong?” Ah Xing asked worriedly.

Kant took a few deep breaths and said,” Here it comes again.”

Observing different things happening in the same area in the same place at different times in two different space-times, the change of the Timeline, and the interlaced and changing scenes were a little difficult to withstand because it would interfere with the space-time cognition of three-dimensional creatures.

Fortunately, Kant had experienced all sorts of chaotic and chaotic spatial dislocations while traveling between the Otherworld, Earth, and the White Fog World. He had some experience.

“You looked dull and stiff just now. I guess it’s coming again.”

“What did you see this time?” Lily asked.

Kant told him about what he had seen in the temporal rift. Although it was just a glimpse, he did see the creatures of the Underworld marching in this area.

“A living being?” Lily asked. Or an intelligent creature? Then that’s easy. Come, describe their style of clothing and their racial characteristics.”

There was an advantage to this. Through their racial characteristics and clothing style, they might be able to determine what era they were in.

If they were natives, there was nothing they could do.

It was a good idea, but…

“I only took a glance, and it wasn’t close.”

Furthermore, Kant’s drawing skills weren’t that great. When he swept his gaze across the painting, most of his attention was drawn to the figure at the very front. He only looked around once at the rest. Furthermore, he was illiterate from another world.

When an expert saw something, he would consciously look at it. For example, when he saw armor, he would immediately pay attention to the armor piece, material, forging method, helmet style, pauldrons, and other parts. When he recalled, he would make specific explanations, inferences, and analyses. But Kant was illiterate and a layman.

He huffed and puffed, drawing and drawing, and drew something that made Lily frown.

” That’s about it. What I can confirm is that their bodies and characteristics are indeed very different. They are definitely not from the same race. However, the style of their armor is similar and uniform. It’s just that the details are different. The style is very handsome. Yes, very handsome and very cool. It fits my aesthetic very well…”

Lily transformed into a human figure on top of a stone pillar. Horus turned on the searchlight. The three of them gathered together and looked at Kant’s drawing. Matron Long pouted.” That’s ugly.”

Kant glared at him.” That’s because my drawing isn’t good. So, can you tell anything?”

Lily shook her head.” I don’t know which era would make such a costume. It doesn’t look like it. But the era changes, the times develop, and thousands of years of civilization flow. Even the dragons can’t record it all. Maybe it’s a civilization I don’t know about that left traces here…”

She looked at the dark and empty space in the distance and sighed.” It should be a long time ago.”

Kant remained silent as well. He was still thinking about the figure he cared about.

“What a pity.” He said softly,” I only saw a small part.”

Lily thought for a moment.” There’s no precedent for your situation. According to the records, the three victims of the time flashback phenomenon saw continuous and long scenes.”

” The Dwarf Lord first saw the Rock Creatures ‘meeting and voting. He saw the map of the Endless Mine from the map. In the following exploration, he would see things from the past every time.”

“There’s no need to mention the emperor… According to him, he saw everything, the entire process from beginning to end.”

” And that guardian even had a complete communication with the Enlightened from the past.”

“What’s going on?” Long Niang shook her head.

Kant thought about it.

He realized that Lily and the others had disappeared, and that his floating posture and state were extremely out of place. With a thought, the divine power of time and space responded, and he sensed the turbulence of the time fault.

Could this be the reason?

Realizing his own experience and situation, coupled with the divine power of Akatum, he had created an obstacle and impact on the time flashback phenomenon, which was why he quickly escaped from that state.

He told Lily about this conjecture. Lily nodded and said,” Well, that makes sense. I have a guess too. You must have been conflicted from the beginning to the end, so you were not completely immersed.”

” You must know that when the Dwarf Lord saw the endless mine, he was ecstatic and thirsty for knowledge. The Guardian received enlightenment from the past, so of course, he held his breath and listened carefully. As for the Emperor…”

She was speechless.

Kant looked at her as well.

The man and the dragon looked at each other.

Then he thought carefully and was very afraid.

The world was really strange.

Kant and Lily skipped the discussion out of concern for their brother. They moved on to the next topic as if nothing had happened.” Then, let’s move on. Let’s test it out.”

” Don’t worry, don’t resist. Concentrate, immerse, witness, and feel.” Long Niang said,” To see what happened, to see the stories of the past…This is the only clue left.”

Kant nodded slowly.

He rose to his feet and looked around. Time had changed, and the stone bridge he had seen earlier had disappeared. Perhaps the earth had shifted and collapsed, but he still remembered the direction.

” Over there.” Kant pointed ahead.” Over there.”

The giant dragon flapped its wings and moved forward again, flying over the dark stone forest.

The terrain here was complicated. Even the giant dragons had to fly slowly to avoid accidents. Along the way, Kant became as silent as Ah Xing. He recalled the scene he had seen earlier and was very concerned.

Where did those creatures come from? What were they doing here?

Was he a native?

That back view…

The dragon slowly moved forward in this area, constantly changing directions. It tried to trigger the third space-time flashback, but to no avail.

He only saw piles of rocks on the ground, which should be the stone bridge and stone wall he had seen earlier. The road ahead had collapsed during the long underground activities, and it had become nature in time, giving birth to new changes. Mushrooms had grown, and beasts lived there. There were no other traces.

Twenty minutes later, Horus brought back new news.

“Father.” It said,” About the direction you are pointing in, which is the direction of the living beings you saw in the past… I found a cave entrance, but I have bad news.”

” Is it blocked?” Kant asked.

“Being blocked is not bad news.” Horus said,” The bad news is that it has been moved.”

A few minutes later, the dragon descended from the sky.

The spherical probes were surrounding an entrance that was originally filled with rocks. At this moment, a large hole was broken, revealing a faint light. The surrounding gravel and traces all showed that this was something that had happened recently. The creatures who dug the cave used the purest violence.

” It’s a dragon,” Lily said. She looked around and picked up a few rocks. She pointed at the claw marks on them.

” Then let’s go,” Kant said.

“Wait a minute.”

Long Niang stopped him and carefully observed her surroundings. After knocking and observing for a while, her expression changed slightly. There was no ambush.”

Kant’s phoenix eyes had been flickering with fire. He had already seen it once.” What?”

” Tracis is very scheming. He has wiped away the traces of impact at the entrance to the surface, growing new plants, and even adding a layer of dragon seal. It’s strange that he didn’t do anything here.”

She shook her head and said,” After opening the hole, don’t blow up the hole again. Perhaps it’s because you still have to come out. If you don’t set up some traps or magic gears…” Something’s wrong.”

At this point, Long Niang sighed,”Perhaps he has indeed…” Let’s go.”

Kant was about to ask Horus to send a scout first when his body stiffened again.

This time, Lily and Gorilla were prepared. They took a few steps back and paid attention to their surroundings. Kant froze on the spot. A few minutes later, he shivered and came back to his senses.

However, his eyes were filled with emotions.

“What’s wrong?” Lily asked.

“.. They fought with the native creatures inside.”

Kant looked at Lily. After a moment of silence, he said,” Their weapons and abilities are forged and strengthened by that mysterious element.”
