C2301 The legendary Ghost People?
Suspension City.
"Master, that's the Lin Yuan City I was talking about." Medelsa said as she pointed to the ancient city's ruins within her projection mapping.
Xia Lei's line of sight shifted towards the ancient city within the projection mapping. It was actually a piece of ruins with a bit of the outline of a city. It was extremely huge, dozens of square kilometers. Even on Earth, it was considered a medium-sized city with a population of over a million.
"Why did the night watcher destroy this city?" Xia Lei was a little curious, "Separated by forty thousand kilometers of the Abyss of Desire, the Ghost-man can't even threaten the interests of the night watcher, yet the night watcher destroyed this place. Medelsa, do you know the reason? "
Medelsa thought back to a while, "A long, long time ago, I met a few fleeing Ghost-man. That time, I had eaten my fill and saw how pitiful they were so I didn't eat them again. I turned into a goddess and helped them out with a little trouble. Later on, they talked about the night watcher's destruction of Lin Yuan City, saying that it was ? "Say it's ?"
She seemed to have forgotten something important, but she clearly remembered the "Goddess".
The dragon replied, "Say it's your mother, say it's true, do you really think you're some sort of goddess?"
Medelsa pointed to the outstanding Dragon Clan youth and said: "Master, look at him."
Xia Lei, "..."
He felt that what he had obtained was not two powerful creatures from ancient times, but rather the aunt selling vegetables and the butcher slaughtering pigs in the market.
"Is there any Ghost-man living in this city?" Shenyue Ruyi said.
"I'm not sure. Won't we know if we go down and take a look?" Medelsa said: "Master, let's go down to take a look, I'm familiar with this place."
Xia Lei was slightly moved. There might be surviving Ghost-man s living within the ruins of Lin Yuan City, and he might also be able to find out the reason why night watcher attacked and destroyed Lin Yuan City. On the surface, there did not seem to be any reason for the destruction of Lin Yuan City by the night watcher, but he had a feeling that the night watcher's invasion of the Ghost-man was hiding some kind of unspeakable secret, which was probably related to the Abyss of Desire and that mission.
Brain Amido said, "Master, I do not recommend landing and exploring this ruined city. When we left, that powerful dark energy was destroying the energy barrier that we left behind. It could break through the energy barrier on one side, and that way, it could break through the energy barrier on the other side. Once we stop, the pursuers of the Black Sun Empire will be able to catch up to us. "
Xia Lei thought for a moment and made a decision, "Suspension City will continue to move forward and I'll take a look inside the city. Shen Yue, you will be in charge of protecting the Suspension City. If any situation happens, you can also come and inform me as fast as possible. "
With this decision, the Suspension City continued to fly forward. Xia Lei brought Medelsa and the Dragon to the rubble of Lin Yuan City.
Linyuan City had been built with city walls, but most of them had been destroyed. Although "a very long time" had passed, one could still see traces of being blasted away by the dark energy or powerful dead beasts as they walked at the foot of the city walls.
As he passed through a stretch of collapsed wall ruins, he came face to face with a street. The slate paved streets still vaguely showed what they had been like back then, only the cracks in the rocks were filled with gray grass. The dense weeds were covered by almost half of the stone slabs, and walking on them gave off a feeling of softness as if one was walking on grass.
Most of the buildings on both sides of the street had collapsed. The wood had been completely eroded, leaving behind only square blocks of stone. Occasionally, he could see more complete houses, with frames for windows and doors, but there was nothing in the house. After all, "a very long time" had passed, even the ceramics had turned into sand. The only reason why those stone bricks were able to survive was because there were no obvious signs of weathering. This was also because most of them were stone of the past.
It was also because of the large amount of stones of the past that there was a very special energy field here. While walking among the ruins of Lin Yuan City, Xia Lei had the illusion that he was walking in the past space-time. Sometimes he even had the illusion that he was on his way home from school. His father, Xia Changhe, had already prepared dinner and was waiting for him to return home to eat. However, this illusion was very slight and could be easily eliminated with ease.
One by one, the streets were left behind as the city plaza of Lin Yuan City appeared before them. It was a very large plaza and it was roughly a few square kilometers in area. It was large enough to accommodate millions of people, which meant that even the Ghost-man of the entire Lin Yuan City would be able to gather here.
Standing at the side of the plaza, Xia Lei couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Building such a large plaza could accommodate all the people in the city to gather here; there must be a reason, right? Is it related to some kind of faith? "
It was impossible to build such a large square for a square dance or for a walk. Not knowing why, Xia Lei suddenly recalled the scene of Mecca's pilgrimage, the biggest religious pilgrimage, in his mind. Millions of people had gathered at the Mecca Holy Land during the twelfth month, which was a very spectacular sight. And this square was obviously bigger, able to accommodate more people for religious activities similar to the pilgrimage in Mecca.
If the Ghost-man was here to worship a certain god, then who could it be?
"Medelsa, what's the name of this plaza?" Xia Lei casually asked.
Medelsa shook her head, "I don't know."
"Then do you know of any religious beliefs in the Ghost-man? If there is, what kind of deities do they believe in? " Xia Lei asked.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck ?" Medelsa laughed very innocently, "Of course it's the goddess of desire and love, it's me."
Xia Lei frowned slightly. He felt that his question was unnecessary. With an existence like Medelsa, how could it possibly care about what a plaza in ruins was? So how could it possibly care about the Ghost-man's religious beliefs?
Xia Lei's line of sight moved to the opposite side of the plaza. Under the dusky sky, there stood a bunch of huge rocks and a few huge stone pillars. Those stone pillars were not complete. Some were broken from the center, while others were crooked and could fall down at any time.
It looked like a ruined temple.
Xia Lei's heart was moved, and he said: "Let's go take a look there."
It was indeed a godly temple. With the size of several huge stone pillars and the huge stone material lying on the ground, it was not hard to imagine what it once looked like. It was quite a magnificent sight.
After a brief inspection, Xia Lei did not find any clues regarding the Ghost-man's religious beliefs. There were no sculptures of religious beliefs here, nor were there any statues. There was only a huge pile of stone. Furthermore, all of them were stones of the past. However, they were of the lowest quality and contained the lowest amount of energy of the past.
Xia Lei's gaze shifted to a large pile of collapsed stones. He released a trace of blurry energy, and then, he dived into the mountain of stones. His vision would encounter obstacles from the stone of the past. Even if he was able to see through it, it would still be difficult for him. It was far inferior to using energy detection methods.
The faint energy shuttled back and forth within the pile of rocks, giving him feedback on what was inside the pile of rocks. His brain simulated the image inside the pile of rocks based on the information collected by the blurry energy. Soon, he found several deities in the pile of stones. There were both men and women in the black deity statue. Some had no heads, some had no hands, some had no feet, and some had even broken into two pieces that fell to the ground.
A considerably well-preserved statue of a god was constructed in his brain. At that moment, even Xia Lei's breathing stopped, and his mouth opened wide, unable to close it no matter what.
It simulated one of the "first day" of Six Creators in his mind.
He had seen the Six Creators from the image stored within the Runic Blood-crystal Sphere. He remembered the characteristics of every single one of them, from the first day to the sixth day. Therefore, when he constructed the first day's idol in his brain, he almost instantly recognized it as the first day's idol.
"This... The God that the Ghost-man worships and worships is actually the Creator of the Spirit Race. Xia Lei's heart was filled with shock; he could not understand no matter what.
Although he was shocked, his brain did not stop constructing the images of the other five deities. The images of the other five deities were quickly constructed, and without exception, they corresponded to the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth days respectively.
The appearance of the six idols gave him the answer, the god that the Ghost-man believed in was a spirit race's Six Creators. This also showed that the Six Creators had really been here before, and it wasn't just a simple trip, they had done a lot of things here.
Then, he came to a deeper realization, "Six Creators has come to the Dark Death World to carry out his one and only mission. But in the end, it was a failure and the World's Box was also destroyed, which was why he had the mission of finding the fragment later on! "
What did the Six Creators do in Dark Death World?
Why does the Ghost-man believe in the Six Creators?
He had solved some of his confusion, but now he had two more questions.
"Whiz!"
The sound of something tearing through the air was heard.
Without waiting for Xia Lei to do anything, the dragon cut across and threw out a punch.
Bang!
An enormous bone lance instantly turned into dust.
But this was only the beginning.
Sou sou sou!
A bone spear and bone arrow flew out from the ruins on the other side of the temple.
In that instant, Xia Lei also saw the person who threw out the bone lance and arrow. They were very short, about the same size as the butterfly man, but they had no wings. They were gray, the same color as the gray of the Eternal Plains. Their upper bodies were bare, and only their waists were tied with grass skirts. Their upper bodies and thighs were covered with terrifying muscles. They shared a common trait, which was that they all had long, thick beards and blood-red eyes.
This is the legendary Ghost-man?
