Chapter 530: Survivors of the Qiluo Civilization |
"A temple?" Tanya inquired.
"The temple isn't big. It looks like the size of an ordinary house. The problem is that the temple's entrance is identical to this ruined temple. We thought our eyes were playing tricks on us and even turned back to check, but the ruins behind us had disappeared somehow."
"At that time, we were scared, but we had no way back and could only enter the temple. Inside the temple, there was nothing but an underground passage. We followed the underground passage and found the Warship underground. It was on the Warship that we discovered Earth's coordinates."
It might sound incredible, but Tanya didn't refute it. There were plenty of unbelievable things in the world, and to ordinary people, the actions of eighth-order experts were considered unimaginable.
"But you were underground at the time. How did you get out?" This didn't make sense. The Warship had always been underground. It had remained there for such a long time with some energy left. Furthermore, before entering, Red Alert soldiers had thoroughly scanned the surrounding area, and there were no large pits. This suggested that the Warship might not have come from there.
Either this was the work of that god, or Lisa was lying!
Lisa had a puzzled expression on her face. "At the time, we indeed went deeper underground, but when we flew in the Warship, I realized that we weren't where we had been. Instead, we emerged from the seafloor."
Tanya glanced at the Yuri Clones beside her and nodded slightly, indicating that Lisa was telling the truth; she hadn't lied.
Even though Lisa and her companions hadn't walked far from the ruins before, they ended up deep underground and emerged from the seafloor?
At that moment, Su Chen considered something. Could the male stone statue be from the Qiluo Civilization?
Only the Qiluo Civilization possessed such spatial technology, which could transport a group of people to the seafloor more than fifty thousand kilometers away.
In other words, after they followed the stone statue's guidance and left the ruins, they had already left the area of the ruins and arrived somewhere else. When they entered the underground passage, they were transported to the location under the sea where the Warship was stored.
The question was, what was the purpose of the male stone statue? Did he only want them to find the Warship and return to Earth, the homeland of the Qiluo Civilization?
Su Chen didn't think so. There were no purely benevolent intentions in the world. The male stone statue must have had his own agenda.
Fortunately, this time, Su Chen had brought the Warship along, and he believed that there might be some secrets on board.
"Alice, have you thoroughly checked the Warship? Is there anything unusual on it?" Su Chen shouted into the air.
The next moment, Alice's virtual image appeared in front of him. "Uncle, there is nothing unusual on the Warship. I have checked everything, including all the data that the Warship's intelligence system contains."
Su Chen had great trust in Alice's abilities, especially since she had managed to remain hidden from the entire world for many years.
"But if that person isn't on the Warship, where could he be, or is he not human?" Su Chen muttered to himself.
A glint of determination appeared in his eyes as he formed a theory. He was prepared to test it.
If someone from the Qiluo Civilization couldn't wait for such a long time due to their limited lifespan, what would they do?
Most likely, they would follow a path similar to Taru's, transferring their consciousness into a container capable of preserving it or finding a new body.
Su Chen hadn't found any containers, but it was highly possible that this individual had occupied another person's body!
However, this person must have had close contact with the target. This narrowed down the possibilities, and it was highly likely that this person was among Lisa and her group.
"Could it be a hidden consciousness, very likely from that era?" Su Chen's lips curled into a faint smile. He found this matter increasingly interesting. A consciousness that had possibly survived from the time of the Qiluo Civilization. If he could find this individual, he might uncover many secrets of the Qiluo Civilization.
Su Chen had always been intrigued by the Qiluo Civilization, as it was a powerful civilization that had emerged from Earth. It had almost become one of humanity's highest-ranking civilizations. If not for a massive secret they had discovered, Earth's people might not have survived.
Su Chen remembered that Lisa had mentioned that fewer than ten people had managed to survive after entering the ruins. All of these people, except for Lisa, were now on Earth.
"Yun Ru, how long would it take to establish contact with Earth?" Yun Ru, who was busy in the combat laboratory, didn't hesitate to respond when she heard Su Chen's voice. "It will take at least two to three months. Long-distance communication is quite troublesome. If not for Qiluo Civilization's technology, it could take even longer."
Qiluo Civilization's technology was vast, and it included interstellar communication technology. As long as Yun Ru grasped a portion of it, it would be sufficient for communication between Yan Yun Star and Earth.
After arriving at Yan Yun Star, Su Chen had realized that his special ability to contact his subordinates no longer worked. He attributed this to the long distance. He didn't know the current situation on Earth, but he believed that with his Red Alert Base in place, there shouldn't be any problems.
The condition was that the consciousness from the Qiluo Civilization wouldn't cause trouble.
Meanwhile, back on Earth, located approximately 0.5 light-years away, after a period of adjustment, the people from Yan Yun Star who had come down from the Warship gradually began to be accepted by humans. After all, except for their hair color, Yan Yun Star people had no significant physical differences from Earth humans.
However, their activities were still restricted to Su City, and they weren't allowed to travel elsewhere. For the Yan Yun Star people, this arrangement was more than sufficient.
Since the appearance of the Ghost Clan on Yan Yun Star, they hadn't experienced such a peaceful city. How could they possibly object?
So they began to live there, taking on various jobs provided by humans in exchange for Hope Coins. With these coins, they could purchase all the necessary supplies for their daily lives.
"I never thought my hometown would become like this." A young man from Yan Yun Star stood on top of a skyscraper, gazing into the distance. That direction was where the Qiluo Civilization's refuge had once been.
"As long as we find the Spark, the Qiluo Civilization will once again illuminate the universe. Our former enemies won't escape!" (To be continued)
