Transcendent Ember

Chapter 561 Steel Dome
As if it had passed the certification, when the blood beads containing the dragon's aura sprinkled into the vast seal, the incomparable giant force suddenly disappeared without warning, as if it had never appeared before.

During the seal, the eight dragons raised their heads, changed from a two-dimensional imprint into a three-dimensional entity, and each swallowed a blood bead spilled by Zhang Jichuan.

Immediately, the aura of the eight dragons became alive, as if they were about to come alive.

The eight dragons swam to the middle of the seal, stretched out their dragon claws and scratched in the void.

Ding Ding! ——

The sound of gold and iron intersecting sounded, and eight chains as thick as millstones were grabbed out of nothingness by eight dragons.

The eight dragons each returned to their guarded positions. The chains wrapped around the dragon's claws were stretched straight, as if some kind of heavy object was connected to the end.

With the eight dragons working together, a door was opened amidst a sound like boulders rubbing against each other.

Behind the door, there is deep darkness.

"What is this?" Jade Elf moved to Zhang Jichuan curiously.

Norris and Yu Ren also turned their interested eyes. They didn't know that there was a hidden map in the Dragon Temple.

"The Sanctuary of Origin." Zhang Jichuan replied concisely.

"The sanctuary of origin?" The rest of the people were stunned for a moment, then looked up at the tombstone of the grave where the ghoul appeared, "Is that the sanctuary mentioned on the tombstone?"

Zhang Jichuan nodded: "Yes."

"How did Mr. Siliang know?" Norris wondered. The four of them have been staying together since entering the Dragon Temple. Why does Zhang Jichuan know so much?
"Maybe it's the first welfare to jump over the Dragon Gate..." Zhang Jichuan explained, and walked forward, "Come with me, and go to the origin sanctuary of the Dragon Clan."

The three quickly followed.

Passing through the portal, the four of them came to a place where they couldn't see their fingers after going through a whirlwind.

Norris clasped her hands together and summoned the 'Apostle Paul's Cross'. As soon as this extraordinary item appeared, it emitted a faint holy light.

Norris injected soul power into it, and the holy light on the cross became more intense and brighter, like a high-power light bulb.

Norris didn't activate her extraordinary ability, she just used the 'Apostle Paul's Cross' as a lighting tool...

With this holy light, the four of them saw clearly where they were, which was under a huge hemispherical dome.

But just above the dome, there is an exaggerated gap.

"Go and have a look." Zhang Jichuan suggested, with a thought in his mind, the clouds around him rolled up, and he flew up spontaneously, flying towards the gap in the dome.

The dome, which was several kilometers high, flew over in a short while. As soon as he approached, Zhang Jichuan showed a hint of surprise on his face.

He saw the true face of the so-called dome, which turned out to be a steel structure with a thickness of more than ten meters!
"This..." The jade elf who approached was dumbfounded, "This thing is actually made of steel? Is it so thick?"

It opened its mind: "If this thing is dismantled, you five major human countries will have enough steel for real estate."

"..." Three black lines appeared on Zhang Jichuan's forehead.

The rest of the people agreed quite a bit: "It is known that this is a hemispherical structure with a radius of about 13 kilometers, a thickness of about [-] meters, and a material of steel. Then the question arises, please find the weight of this dome."

"..." Norris unconsciously recalled the fear of being dominated by mathematics when she heard this question.

She shook her head vigorously, shaking those terrible memories out of her mind, and held the 'Apostle Paul's Cross' close to the dome to look carefully.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Norris made a discovery, and she broke off a piece of steel, "Look, there are traces of extraordinary power in these steels."

"Huh?" Zhang Jichuan took a closer look, but couldn't see what was going on, so he had to humbly ask for advice.

"Mr. Siliang doesn't know this?" Norris' eyes lit up, happy that she finally caught Zhang Jichuan's weakness, and teased, "It seems that when you were in school, you really devoted yourself to studying history.

"It's like this. Many scholars in history have done many experiments of the same type, that is to verify how much extraordinary power various materials can withstand...

"Experiments have found that the strength of different materials that can withstand extraordinary forces varies greatly. The more ordinary and common materials, the worse the bearing capacity.

"And some rare materials, such as hydrazite, have a much stronger carrying capacity...

"Therefore, some important buildings, such as the palaces of various countries, and the residences of nobles and wealthy merchants, will be built with rare materials. After these buildings are strengthened by extraordinary abilities, they will last for a long time, and there is no need to recharge them frequently...

"During these experiments, it was also discovered that different materials will exhibit different properties after being attached by extraordinary forces.

"It's like steel. After being attached by extraordinary power, the inside will be affected by the extraordinary power, showing a flocculent structure. Look..."

Zhang Jichuan, Yu Ren, and Jade Fairy looked at the piece of steel in Noris's hand, and they saw that the fractured surface was a flocculent structure.

The Jade Elf's eyes widened: "Such a big steel dome, and there are traces of extraordinary power attached to it... This is a fortification!"

boom!
One word awakened the dreamer, and Zhang Jichuan and the others realized that, indeed, the dome looked like a huge fortification no matter how it looked.

A strange feeling rose in Zhang Jichuan's heart, isn't this the origin sanctuary of the Dragon Clan?How did it become a fortification?
The Origin Sanctuary of the Dragon Clan should be more mysterious, right?Steel fortifications are more sci-fi, right?These two things are not unified in style, how did they become one?
The rest of the people were shocked: "Such a large fortification, what is it for defense?"

No one can answer these questions for the rest of the people...

Norris looked at the gap of about [-] meters in the middle of the dome, and said dignifiedly and curiously: "I would like to know who broke through this fortification."

She came to the fracture of the steel dome to investigate carefully, and soon found out: "Look, the state of this fracture surface should be the state of the steel after it has melted and cooled, right?"

Zhang Jichuan glanced at it, and the picture of a huge pillar of flame melting the steel dome immediately appeared in his mind...

This made him involuntarily think of a scene he saw on the Isle of Discord, which was a scene in the memory of the golden eyes who were also traversers. It was also a huge pillar of flames descending from the sky, burning everything to death. do...

"It's really..." Yu Ren said, he looked around and said, "There is only a gap right above the dome, but there are no cracks in other areas. This shows that there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and the dome was directly pierced. That force didn't affect the rest of the body."

"En." Zhang Jichuan nodded, agreeing with the analysis of the others. If the offensive and defensive sides were equal, then the final result must be that the entire dome is covered with cracks, instead of being well surrounded as it is now, with only a big hole in the middle.

Moreover, Zhang Jichuan also thought of a question: "Have you ever thought about who built this steel dome?"

"What do you mean?" Yu asked back, "Who else can build such a big steel dome except the Dragon Clan?"

Zhang Jichuan glanced at him: "Do you know when steel appeared?"

Yu Ren blinked blankly.

Norris exclaimed: "The specific time when steel appeared is unknown, but the large-scale use of steel is after the New Extraordinary Era, that is, after 900 years of the Extraordinary Calendar."

Shock slowly appeared in the eyeballs of the rest of the people like dead fish. Steel was only mass-produced after 900 years in the extraordinary calendar. Where did the steel that makes up the steel dome come from?

The Jade Elf guessed: "Is it possible that the Dragon Clan once had a brilliant civilization and could make steel by themselves?"

"I can't rule out this possibility, but..." Zhang Jichuan said, and changed the topic, "When I transformed into a dragon, I heard a voice calling this Sanctuary of Origin.

"So, this was not built by the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Clan was only born here!"

"This..." Hearing these words, Norris, Yu Ren, and Jade Fairy all held their breath.

After a few seconds, Yu murmured: "Then this steel dome..."

Zhang Jichuan stared fixedly at the steel dome: "The answer is obvious, isn't it? This steel dome is...

"The relics left by the civilization of the last season!"

Under the dome, there was a moment of silence.

After a while, Norris broke the silence and said, "If people find out that there is a ruin of the civilization of God here, the whole world will be shaken."

"Yes..." Yu Ren also said, "This is an opportunity to intuitively understand the civilization of the gods. Through it, you may be able to glimpse the true face of the civilization of the gods."

But Zhang Jichuan sighed secretly. When he traveled through the previous civilization, how had he ever built a fortification of this scale?

Let alone in the sea...

"No..." Suddenly, Zhang Jichuan realized something, "I don't know how many years have passed since last season's civilization, and the current sea may have been land back then?

"But, from the year I traveled through to the end of civilization last season, what happened in between?
"Why are they building such massive fortifications? What are they defending against?
"How did the extraordinary power in the dome come from?

"Why were the dragons born in this steel dome?"

One question after another filled Zhang Jichuan's mind. He desperately wanted an answer, so he began to search around, trying to find some clues.

Inside the dome, although there are no cracks, but when you get closer, you can see scenes of molten steel everywhere and then cooling down.

This indicates that the pillar of flame that penetrated the dome was once released inside the dome, melting the entire interior of the dome.

Even to the extreme, the dome might have been thicker back then, but it was melted down to its current thickness...

This made Zhang Jichuan very puzzled. Under such a powerful attack, no matter what was under the dome, the only end would be to be wiped out.In this case, how was the Dragon Clan born?
