Warlord 5

by Chen Ran

The aura of the godly temple was very special. The energy that would occasionally shoot out from behind allowed the godly temple to form a separate space. A space that could hide any sensation, Zero could roughly understand why he had slept for twenty minutes without being disturbed. That was because of the existence of the temple. I am afraid that the Queen of living corpse has already lost sight of me.

  As he thought about this, his footsteps did not stop. The fiery energy that was originally hidden in the dark gradually became brighter under the dim light, and then turned into a sea of flames.

  A dark blue sea of flames!

  He had no choice but to turn off his Glimmer Vision. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to see anything else in this sea of flames. After the Glimmer Vision was turned off, the light dimmed, and Zero saw a huge stone monument that was over a hundred meters tall. Some strange symbols were carved into the stone monument, and each of these symbols flowed with a dark blue light.

  With every passing moment, the symbols on the stone tablet would suddenly light up. This was the result of all the symbols' energy being spat out together.

  As the light flashed, Zero felt like they were calling out to something, but also seemed to be saying something.

  There were a total of thirteen stone steles like this one. They lined up behind the godly temple in a straight line, giving off an ancient desolate feeling, making Zero feel as if he were kneeling down.

  It was a shock to the point where it could not be recovered from. Su Yun had never thought that she would see such a wondrous scene in the kingdom of a living corpse. The thirteen stone monuments seemed as though they had existed since the ancient times. On their bodies, there were secrets that had been hidden for a long time.

  The symbols on the stone tablet were very strange. They were almost no longer in any of the words in the world. During his free time, he had used the Asgard's learning system, of which Zero had read the history of the world's development the most. In the process, Zero knew that the world's oldest writing was cuneiform, the language used in ancient Western Asia six thousand years ago.

  The cuneiform writing, also known as "nailhead" or "arrow word," was originally represented by the Sumerians of Western Asia. Gradually, they evolved into Sumerian ideograms. Usually a combination of one or more symbols can be used to express a more complex meaning.

  At that time, Zero thought it was interesting and called out several ancient languages in the learning system. But now, the symbols engraved on the stone tablet were not in the ancient language that he knew. As if they belonged to other civilizations, or as if they belonged to the lost language of the last civilization?

  As he thought of this, the hexagonal spaceship that he had found in the Great Rift suddenly appeared in Zero's mind. It also belonged to another civilization. Could there be a connection between the two?

  Chapter 326 - Star Beast (IV)

  Su Yun decided to engrave these runes into her mind, whether it was for her future research or to the Asgard. It was as though these stone monuments were concealing a secret. That secret, Zero's intuition told him, must be related to the planet where humans lived.

  Perhaps this was a message from the previous civilization, or perhaps it was left behind by a guest from outer space. Who knows.

  With his current ability to process data in his brain, imprinting all the symbols on the thirteen stone tablets only required a small portion of his brain's information storage space. It did not occur to Zero to remember the details, but to consider how long the time limit should be set for storing the information. After some thought, he set a time.

  100 years.

  This was a relatively plentiful period of time, and even if he was unable to unravel the secrets of the written word after a hundred years, he could still use these things to transfer them from his brain to his brain for future generations to study.

  After setting the time limit, he concentrated on looking at the stone tablet in front of him. When the first symbol took shape in his mind, something strange happened. The symbols released a great deal of information. After the information was gathered and processed by the zero brain, it became countless images again.

  How was the universe formed?

  In the old days, this was an unsolvable proposition. Most scientists believe that the universe was formed by a big bang. At the beginning of the universe, in the first 300 thousand years after the birth of time and space, the universe was opaque. As protons and electrons combine to form atoms, radiation can pass through freely, thus forming an observable universe.

  And before the Big Bang?

  The assumption has been made that all matter and energy in the universe is concentrated in a fairly dense sphere, which is very hot and which explodes into the universe, so where does this sphere come from? How did it form?

  As a result, the problem had returned to its original point. There was no way for humans to explain the origin of the universe. It was like having a chicken first, then an egg, or an egg first, then a chicken.

  Until 1920, when quantum science came into existence. Scientists began to study the formation of the universe through quantum science. In 1980, an American physicist named Alain Gus used quantum science to make a series of arguments on the formation of the universe, and finally came up with a theory.

  The universe is not how it is formed, but it always exists. The beginning and the end of the universe are eternal.

  This theory was later known as the Gus' Theory. However, its research, verification and supplementation continued to be carried out unceasingly. Until the arrival of the new era, the earth had undergone a tremendous change.

  But now, what Zero saw was the origin of the universe, or the pre-universe era.

  The so-called pre-universe era was both before the universe that humans knew of. The universe is eternal, but at the same time it is constantly changing. The previous era happened in an unfathomable amount of time, and this era had yet to see the signs of an end. The next era, on the other hand, was very far away. It was so far away that it exceeded all human thoughts, as if it would never come.

  In the pre-universe era, the universe wasn't like this. It was a resplendent sea of light, and it was as if energy and matter had been gathered together by invisible hands. At this moment, the universe was narrow and narrow. But narrowness is also relative. For example, in terms of area, it is still equal to who knows how many galaxies now. It was a quiet time, with energy and radiation moving at an inexhaustible rate.

  Until one day, a minuscule particle self-detonated. However, it self-detonated at a critical moment, triggering the entire universe's energy flow. At this time, the energy movement was like a rapidly spinning gear. When the speed had exceeded a certain threshold, the gear jumped out of its original position, and a huge explosion occurred.

  A huge explosion of energy that shocked Zero beyond measure. The destructive energy that was akin to billions of nuclear bombs exploding at the same time exploded the invisible shackles at the edges of the universe. Countless amounts of energy and matter were ejected into the endless void at a terrifyingly rapid speed. The universe was like a giant that stretched out its body, becoming incomparably broad from its narrowness.

  Countless beams of energy and all sorts of substances flew past Zero's feet and around his body. The spectacular scene made Zero unable to breathe. He looked around and saw an uncountable band of light filling the entire space. At this moment, the universe was full of vitality.

  It was unknown how many tens of thousands of years had passed before the universe gradually quieted down. Energy and matter were gathering, forming planets in the darkness. A nebula is formed between the planets, and a vast galaxy is formed between the nebulae. Vast galaxies lie across the curtain of the universe, invisibly bound together by dark matter, without the galaxies collapsing at the speed of the planets themselves.

  On these planets, Zero saw all sorts of strange life. At this moment, he was like a creator, but also like a spectator looking at the en
tire universe. In the eyes of zero, life on the planet was born and destroyed, and life was constantly changing. Humans weren't lonely in the universe. Earth wasn't the only planet that was suitable for life in the vast universe.

  In order to achieve interstellar communication alone, mankind's current technological civilization is still very far behind. However, before humans appeared, there were already some galaxies that had very strong races of life. They created a space fleet capable of intergalactic travel and began to explore the existence of other galaxies in the universe.

  It could be said that the galaxies in the universe were not evenly distributed. Zero suddenly saw the scene in front of him stretching rapidly. In a split-second, he had already left that galaxy that he didn't know how many light years had passed before, before the scene finally settled down.

  The universe here was lonely and dark, not as lively as the galaxy Zero had just seen. On the dark blue curtain of the universe, there were only a few planets that didn't matter. The number of planets was simply too small. Not to mention galaxies, they couldn't even form nebulae.

  On these planets, there was a deathly stillness. Only a group of unique life forms appeared on a dark red planet. They were shaped like giant fire ants, but their bodies were covered with compound eyes, pincers, and were ten meters long. These things were the only life on the planet. They lived near the core of the planet, and they fed on the energy of the earth. 100,000 years after the appearance of this life form, the planet's energy was almost depleted.

  Zero was now in the center of the earth, and he could clearly see that the lava in the ground was drying up. This was the blood of the planet, and now they were disappearing. The planet began to sink in, and if nothing went wrong, the planet would eventually collapse and die. It could even form a massive gravitational field, which was also known as a black hole.

  However, an accident happened.

  Those who lived on the planet were unwilling to die. In order to gain the right to continue living, they underwent a crazy evolution.

  Swallowing.

  Countless strange ants were constantly devouring their own kind, using their own genes to replenish and upgrade themselves. Finally, they were done before the planet was completely destroyed. All the strange ants on the planet had disappeared. They had finally evolved from countless individuals into a single life form.

  This superlife was free from the constraints of the body and existed as energy. It was a mass of dark energy, shaped like a dark cloud but large enough to cover a star. This form of life also fed on energy. It left its collapsed home planet and moved to a nearby planet. From the main body of the body, countless black pillars of cloud were separated, and the pillars of cloud penetrated into the core of the planet, continuously absorbing the energy of the planet into their own body.

  It was like a wild beast hunting for food. Wherever it went, its life would be gone. And this thing was exactly the terrifying creature that Zero had seen in the records of the ancient humans in the six-winged spaceship. Only now did Zero know of its origin.

  This was a Star Beast, a terrifying demon beast that could devour life, planets and even galaxies!

  Chapter 327 - Consul of Rage (I)

  When the images disappeared from his vision, Zero noticed that the energy aura of the runes on the thirteen stone tablets in front of him had dimmed by quite a bit. Regardless of his physical strength or energy, he had recovered to his peak condition. Moreover, he could feel that there was something extra in his body. However, that feeling was very vague, and Zero could not be sure what it was. The only thing that could be certain was that something must have happened to him while he was being dragged into the illusion by the strange symbols on the stone tablet.

  What Zero didn't know was that when he was dragged into the universe, the 13 stone tablets were constantly emitting a huge amount of energy. The frequency of its eruption was several times or even ten times higher than before. It was as if an invisible hand was pulling all the energy into his body, and after a series of cycles, it returned to the stone tablet. The cycle repeated until the zero sense of thought left the illusion world. Only then did the energy eruption stop.

  The symbols were arranged in a certain order, naturally gathering the energy of the planets and even the universe. Zero could not understand. These thirteen monoliths were actually the Star Pattern Cardinal Formation, a product of another civilization. The Star Beast were engraved in the True King's mind through the pitch black throne. When the True King began to construct their own kingdom, they would build this kind of Star Pattern Arch according to the blueprints.

  The Star Pattern Arch could gather the energy of the planets and the universe. The energy gathered by the seven arches was the first delicacy the Star Beast would have when she was emancipated. After that, the Star Beast would start to devour the energy in the earth's core.

  But perhaps the Star Beast did not expect that the energy essence that Lilith's Star Pattern Diagram had gathered would enter into Zero's body through some mysterious connection. It replenished the energy and stamina that had been lost, as well as the body that had been transformed to a certain extent. While entering and exiting the room, he also left a bit of the essence of the planet in Zero's body.

  That little bit of essence was called the star core, it was the planet's memory and inheritance. In this mysterious way, the planet had left seeds to fight against the Star Beast. As for zero, it was the soil where the seeds had taken root and sprouted.

  Right in the middle of that golden right eye's pupils, a little blue flame quietly appeared. The blue flame quickly formed a triangular symbol and sank into the depths of his zero pupils, waiting for the opportunity to awaken.

  By the time he left the temple, the Star Pattern Divide was still there. However, the energy stored inside it had already been reduced by seven to eight times and would slowly fade with the passage of time.

  Raising his head to look at the sky, although normally it was not dazzling, in the end, it was the light that made Zero feel loathing. At that moment, it seemed to have become much gentler. That light contained a large amount of information. Zero had a feeling that the information was closely related to the planet's energy. However, he did not have the time to analyze them right now. He turned around and looked at the square apex column s behind the godly temple. His figure suddenly flickered, and when he reappeared, he was already on the street behind the godly temple.

  This street was straight to the square apex column!

  Agatha was advancing with great difficulty.

  The environment she was in right now was not the wide but perilous surface, but the narrow but relatively safe underground passage.

  From the first old man's mouth, Agatha found out where Jodtenheim came from. That old man, the people who were kept in the life support warehouse, and the food that had already been eaten, were in fact the creators of Jodtenheim.

  The old man called Peter told Agatha that he and the others were originally citizens of a few nearby towns. I remember a hot afternoon when a woman suddenly appeared in their town. All the men in the town had tried to touch her because of her beauty, but all the men who dared to touch her had been brutally killed.

  After stunning the residents, the woman magically brought out a few gold bricks and asked the residents to work for her.

  One had to know that no matter what era it was, gold was a hard currency. At that time, the townspeople were blinded by the gold, so they naturally didn't care where it came from, and agreed to become women's workers. However, there were so many women that it took almost 10,000 people in several towns to meet her basic requirements.

  At that time, everyone was guessing why would this woman gather so many people? But no matter how imaginative they may be, they never thought that women needed so many workers. It turned out to be to build a city.

  A city that could be called a kingdom!

  They were all shocked when the woman handed over the blueprint to several of the p
eople in charge. Old Peter was one of the people in charge of the project at that time, and at the request of the woman, they started to clear the forest. The close to ten thousand square kilometers of trees were razed to the ground, they were burned down, and the empty ground was the cornerstone of Jodtenheim.

  Just like this, Jodtenheim began to have a prototype in the hands of these workers. As he spent time with women, people began to discover how scary she was. She could actually speak the human language, and everything was the same as a human's. But she did not need to sleep, nor did she look like a capable person. She looked more like a living corpse.

  A living corpse that could speak human language.

  The rumor began to spread among the workers, and at first everyone was skeptical. Until one day, the woman brought back an army. Everyone finally believed that the army was actually made up of all the living corpse.

  As a result, the workers wanted to escape. A living corpse was actually building its own city, what could be more terrifying than this? However, the women's living corpse army quickly suppressed the workers, and all the workers who wanted to escape became food for the living corpse. Thus, they had no choice but to obediently stay back to work. However, they didn't expect that even if they didn't run away, they would still be living corpse's food, the difference being that sooner or later, it would just be a matter of time.

  Under the Old Peter's activation, a secret operation was carried out at the same time as Jodtenheim's construction. According to the kingdom's blueprint that the woman gave him, Jodtenheim's underground base needed to design a special pipeline that allowed him to travel with energy, which gave the workers a chance. While they were building the energy pipeline, they also dug out many underground passages that connected to other parts of the foundation, so that when the time came, they could help Jodtenheim escape this terrifying living corpse city from any corner.

  It was a pity that no one had the time to use the underground tunnel. On the eve of Jodtenheim's completion, a majority of the people suddenly fell into a deep sleep. These workers who had passed out were placed into preordered life support boxes by the living corpse s, while a small portion of them continued working until the kingdom was completed.
