List of strange talismans

Chapter 246 Trap 4K
Gu Xiuya was indeed curious about this. In another world, scientists' research showed that the extinction of prehistoric creatures was caused by an asteroid hitting the earth.But now, he was about to witness another completely different experience.

He followed Cushing and looked down.

The clouds and mists parted before his eyes, revealing a vast land with a terrain that was completely different from that of later generations.

The mountains and rivers are clearly visible, the plains are intertwined, and the densely populated gathering places representing civilization are vaguely visible.

Earth Dragon Clan.
Gu Xiuya discovered that all the gathering places he saw had some indescribable similarity in architectural style with those of later generations. The difference was that the height of these buildings was much higher than that of later generations, and their structures were much more sophisticated.

This shows that the civilization in front of us is at least one era ahead of mankind in architecture, and may even be more.

This gave him a thought.

——Liu Weiyilu restricted him from revealing any knowledge beyond the current era to others. This was an iron law that was difficult to violate.

But what if this knowledge comes from eons ago?

Is it considered knowledge that transcends time?
The level of development of the Earth Dragon clan is obviously far beyond that of later generations. If the knowledge of the Earth Dragon clan can be brought back and handed over to Sachette and others for research, the progress of human civilization will surely usher in an explosive leap.

This will undoubtedly give him one more chance to win when facing cometary civilization.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiuya said to Ku Xin: "Sir, do you mind if I leave for a while?"

Cu Xin heard this and said without raising his head: "There is no point in doing this."

"Do you know what I want to do?"

"Of course, who can face such a huge treasure house and not be tempted?"

Cu Xin said lightly: "It's a pity that the rules only allow us to come to this period of time as spiritual bodies. Matter cannot leave with our consciousness. Even if you plunder this world, you can't take anything away."

“What if that thing is ideological?”

"Are you referring to ideological treasures? Such things can be accommodated and taken away by the spiritual body. But now you and I have lost the stability provided by the anchor point and are in danger of falling. Under such circumstances, we rashly accommodate outsiders. Things are tantamount to self-destruction.”

Cu Xin said and glanced at Gu Xiuya: "I suggest you not to be too greedy and don't forget the purpose of our coming here. History has proven that the strength of the Earth Dragon Clan is far less than that of the past. Don't do it for a group of losers. It is foolishness to treasure and give up something more precious.”

Gu Xiuya nodded slightly: "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Kuxin. But I don't intend to seize the treasures of the Earth Dragon Clan. I just want to take away some insignificant things."

"What are you referring to?"

"The fire of civilization. Their knowledge. Mortal knowledge."

A trace of doubt flashed in Ku Xin's eyes: "You have become a god, and you are about to gain power beyond the gods. Any secular knowledge has no meaning for you, why are you obsessed with acquiring some worthless things?" thing?"

Gu Xiuya said: "I promised to give believers a bright future, and that knowledge can help me achieve my goal faster."

".Just for this?"

"Just for this."

Cushing was speechless.

He looked at Gu Xiuya with a scrutinizing gaze, as if he wanted to get to know the God of Shuntian in front of him again.

After a while, he spoke again: "The Earth Dragon Clan has a very deep research on the spiritual body. They can even do things that some gods can do, such as talking to the souls of the dead that have not yet dissipated, recalling past lives, etc. . In our current state, it may be difficult to win in a frontal battle. Even if we just sneak into the place where they store common knowledge, there is a high chance of being discovered."

Gu Xiuya smiled: "Great First God, you have a deep understanding of the Earth Dragon Clan. Thinking about it, these troubles should not be troubles to you, right?"

Ku Xin said calmly: "I do have a way to avoid the detection of the Earth Dragon Clan, but why should I help you?"

Gu Xiuya said: "One-tenth."

Cu Xin was slightly startled: "What?"

"I am willing to exchange for one-tenth of the old power for your help."

Gu Xiuya said: "This is my sincerity and my gratitude for the help you have provided."

Cushing was silent.

Seeing this, Gu Xiuya said, "Isn't it enough? Then, let's take two tenths. You take seven tenths, and I"

"When did you find out?"

Ku Xin suddenly spoke, interrupting Gu Xiuya's words.

Gu Xiuya looked confused: "What?"

"Don't be pretentious with me, God of Shuntian."

Ku Xin looked at Gu Xiuya, his pupils under the mist exuding sharp light: "Someone told you the price you need to pay to accept the power of the past, right? Who was it? Michus? Or Dusk? No, they don't Maybe you know that these are the beings behind you?!!”

Cushing's tone gradually became harsher as he continued to ask questions, and in the end it was almost a question.

Gu Xiuya laughed.

"No one has told me this, Mr. Cuxin. This was originally just a guess on my part. You changed your plan for profit distribution too quickly, which gave me some bad associations. In addition, along the way, you Your care for me also makes me very suspicious of your motives."

"Whether it's goodwill or compromise, nothing is free. I don't believe that a god who can give up everything for power would have such great goodwill towards his competitors. He would even be willing to give up a precious item for no reason. Protect him."

"Unless his existence can help you avoid some unsolvable troubles. This is the only reason I can think of that is consistent with the logic of your behavior."

Ku Xin was silent for a moment and sighed: "You are very smart."

Gu Xiuya looked at him: "So, are you going to be honest?"

"Will you believe me if I tell you?"

"Of course not. Your behavior has already made me doubt the credibility of this cooperation."

"In that case, what's the point of my answer?"

"Better than saying nothing."

Cushing fell silent again.

After a long while, he said: "The old days are the incarnation of rules, and their power also carries the power of rules. If the power of the old days is tolerated too much, it will be assimilated by the rules, and then irreversibly become its clone, which can also be said to be its heir. .”

".What is the limit of what you call too much?"

"Three out of ten."

When Gu Xiuya heard this, he felt a little puzzled.

If you tolerate the power of the past too much, it will be assimilated by the rules. In this case, wouldn't it be enough to accommodate less?

Why would Cushing conceal such a piece of news that would not harm his own interests?

When Gu Xiuya thought of this, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.He looked at Ku Xin: "Could it be that the inheritance process of power itself is also a ritual? In the ritual, creatures must be assimilated by the rules to ensure the safety of other creatures?"

Ku Xin did not speak, but nodded slowly.

Gu Xiuya frowned slightly, his expression a bit unsightly.

It turns out that from the beginning, the promise made in the past was a blank check.

What he and Cousin were searching for was an insurmountable trap.

The Earth-Drilling Demonic Insect has never thought of giving its power to others, even if that person helps it escape from the seal.

If someone really completes the ritual and comes to this time through the Path of Death and inherits its power, he will be assimilated by the rules at the last moment and become its clone.

In this way, the power that belongs to the old days still belongs to the old days. At best, it is just a different container, just like the left hand is replaced by the right hand. The old days have not given anything, but have gained a clone.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiuya suddenly felt that the second-generation God King had really done a good deed that benefited the world by choosing to seal the earth-burrowing demonic insect.

——He is so insidious and cunning towards the creature that helps him escape, and even lays a trap to turn it into a clone. You can imagine how bad this thing's character is.

Such an evil and chaotic life should indeed be buried deep underground.

"Why do you know these secrets?"

"Just like you can be favored by time, by chance, I also received help from another great existence. It has a hostile relationship with the earth-boring demonic insect."

".Old days?"

"."

"Did it tell you how to deal with traps?"

Ku Xin didn't say anything, but just glanced at Gu Xiuya.

Gu Xiuya understood immediately: "Is there no other way?"

Cu Xing was silent for a moment and said: "There is another way."

"How to do it?"

"Earth Dragon Clan."

Cu Xin said: "In the old days, only creatures that completed the ritual and their descendants were allowed to enter this time. In other words, if you want to find someone who can replace our incarnation rules, the Earth Dragon Clan is the only choice."

"But I'm not sure whether this can be successful. Because the time you and I are living in is a fragment of the past that has been separated from the long river of time by the supreme power. It cannot continue to develop and will always be in a cycle. Reincarnation, such time has lost its essence as [time].”

"Except for the power of the past and the information of consciousness. Everything here is just a shadow of the object in time. Although it looks extremely real, it cannot conceal its illusory nature."

"Use the life of illusion to carry the power of reality. To be honest, I don't know what will happen if we do this. There is a high probability that we will fail, or even cause big trouble, and be trapped here forever, lost in the cracks of the world. "

"It does sound very troublesome. So you didn't intend to let me go back alive from the beginning? Is this what you mean by abandoning all conspiracies and working together sincerely?"

"This is not my conspiracy, God of Shuntian. This is a conspiracy from the past. You should not blame me for this. You have mistaken the person you should hate."

Ku Xin said calmly: "Besides, haven't I told you everything now? I think this is enough to prove my sincerity."

Gu Xiuya did not speak.

This is indeed not Cu Xin's conspiracy, but his deliberate concealment is equally malicious.

If he hadn't sensed something was wrong, if he hadn't invented a great being as a backer to make Cu Xin worry about his hands and feet and not dare to kill him directly, he would have never had the chance to learn this information, and he would have died without knowing anything. During the ceremony.

While his mind was spinning, Gu Xiuya looked at Ku Xin: "If I understand correctly, do you plan to continue our cooperative relationship?"

"It's up to you."

"Okay. To be honest, I'm a little dissatisfied with your concealment, but I really don't want to fall out with you at this time. After all, it's not just a matter of loss of profits. Once something goes wrong with the power inheritance ceremony, we are likely to be trapped forever. Being trapped here and engaging in internal friction at this time is tantamount to seeking death."

"I agree to continue to cooperate. As for the rest, how about we stay and resolve them after we get out?"

Ku Xin did not speak, but nodded.

Gu Xiuya then asked: "So, what do I need to do?"

He didn't need to think about it to know that Cu Xin chose to be honest and tell him everything. There must be something that required his cooperation. Otherwise, there was no need for the original god to explain things so clearly.

".I hope you can ask the great being behind you whether your previous plan has the possibility of success."

Cusin revealed his purpose: "He has the rules related to time and should be better at it than we are."

Gu Xiuya sighed secretly. If there really was such a great existence guarding me, you wouldn't have to tell me that I would have asked. It's a pity that these are all lies I made up to scare you.

After thinking about it, his face remained calm and he said, "This is not a trivial matter."

"I know. But this matter is also related to your interests. So I hope you can think of a way."

Cu Xin said: "In return, I can help you sneak into the [Wisdom Temple] of the Earth Dragon Clan, where a consciousness crystal called [Fruit of Knowledge] is stored. With your spiritual strength, it only takes half an hour." Can learn all the common knowledge accumulated by the Earth Dragon Clan over thousands of years."

"Mortal knowledge is pure information. It does not possess any conscious energy. Merely acquiring knowledge will not accelerate the process of death. At best, it will make you trance for a while. It can be said that there is no danger."

When Gu Xiuya heard this, he pretended to be moved, with a hesitant expression on his face, as if he was weighing the gains and losses.

In fact, he had already made a decision - the [Fruit of Knowledge] was very useful to him, and he must find a way to get it. As for Cusin's request, he decided to lie to get it.

Using people from the Earth Dragon clan as scapegoats for the incarnation rules is currently the only way to avoid the traps of the past. From Gu Xiuya's point of view, there is actually no other choice. Regardless of the success rate, he must try.Otherwise, you can only use a strange array of weapons to leave in despair, and you may not be able to leave.

From Cushing's perspective, on the surface, his request was to gain peace of mind and gain confidence from "professionals."

But Gu Xiuya knew that if he said that he could not contact the great being behind him, the original god might have other plans.

After all, it is undoubtedly easier to capture a god from the mapping layer and become a scapegoat than to risk one's chance of death.

In other words, this lie really had to be told, and Cu Xin had to be convinced that it was not a lie, otherwise what awaited Gu Xiuya would probably not be a good thing.

Gu Xiuya couldn't help but think about it.

When Ku Xin saw this, he didn't rush him. He just waited silently for Gu Xiuya's decision.

After a long time, Gu Xiuya said, "I can try but I can't guarantee success. As you know, it may not respond to me."

Ku Xin did not speak, but nodded.

Gu Xiuya then stretched his right hand to his chest, and while paying attention to Cu Xin's eyes, he slowly took out a series of strange jars.

"Sir Cushing, would you mind giving me your hand?"
