Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

There is only one city here, with a development history of less than 2000 years. Even if Li Ang reads it all, it will not be affected in any way.

Moreover, a short history also has the advantage of a short history. Li Ang can watch this part of the record in its entirety, and maybe he can get some unexpected surprises from it.

The pace of the scenery outside has become slower and slower, and it seems that it will soon stop completely. The high-rise buildings in the city have completely disappeared, and no man-made buildings can be seen at the entrance. Instead, there is an extremely dense primitive land. forest.

Finally, the rapidly receding scenery around them stopped with a slight tremor, which meant that the history of this place had reached its end.

The sound of the Kagura bells had disappeared, and what was ringing in their ears now were the sounds of insects and birds chirping in the forest, and the breeze blowing the leaves.

This is an extremely real illusion. Although they can see many things, they cannot interfere with this world because this is something that has already happened in history. It is like an immersive holographic movie.

In fact, Li Ang is a little strange. If the great god of Ming Dynasty intends to use time backtracking to temporarily solve the threat of aberrations and save most of the sacrificed people, it seems that he does not need to go back to this stage of history. He only needs to go back to when everything is still there. It’s fine if it doesn’t happen at a point in time.

Unless... He wants to convey some kind of message to Li Ang in this way.

The pictures that can appear in time retrospect are all major events that can be remembered in various history books. They are important turning points in history. If you just extract these pictures from history, it will not cost much. After all, the Great Ming God I have witnessed everything that happened here, just like the will of the Origin Stone.

After figuring out this key, Li Ang planned to take a serious look at these historical reflections to see what the Great Ming God planned to reveal to him.

At this time, the armored vehicle has stopped. Although it seems to be stationary, under the guidance of the ceremony, the team is moving in the long river of history in a way that cannot be observed. Except for Li Ang and Liu Yi, others should They have all fallen into a coma, and Adele has also fallen into a deep sleep. She will not wake up unless Li Ang calls her.

After hesitating for a while, Li Ang decided to check the situation first.

He did not get off the armored vehicle. This was a piece of history that had already happened. As long as he stood here without moving, the history that had already happened would naturally come to his door.

Looking at the dense forest outside, if Li Ang guessed correctly, this is the birthplace of 'Sagazaki'. The origin of that legend is not known how many years ago it happened, but at least it has some meaning. Things before Lali.

Before Li Ang could wait too long, the woods not far away moved slightly, and a 'savage' wearing animal skins emerged from it.

Li Ang looked a little surprised. This was not the way people from 1000 years ago would dress.

The civilization of this era in the Terra world has a long history. Li Ang is not very clear about where the so-called Terra calendar came from, but in short, before the birth of the Terra calendar, mobile cities had already appeared, but the scale was far less exaggerated than it is now. The movement speed was not as fast as it is now, but what Li Ang was sure of was that even in that era, no one would wear animal skins as clothes.

It seems that the Great Ming God is older than Li Ang had previously guessed.

Of course, what caught Li Ang's attention the most was the black translucent crystals growing on the exposed body of the primitive man.

"Have people infected with ore disease... already appeared in that era?"

Although Source Stone is a native product of this world, no one can tell exactly when these things were discovered. It now seems that infected people have appeared in this world at least 2000 to 3000 years ago.

In that era when civilization had not yet developed and humans had to hunt for a living, the status of the infected would never be as low as it is now.

Don't forget that although ore disease can significantly shorten a person's lifespan, it also has a certain chance of giving the infected person powerful power. Excluding those auxiliary Source Stone skills, even the weakest attack spell can easily take away a person. human life.

In that primitive era, power was a guarantee of safety, and at that time, Source Stone had not yet been mined in large quantities, so the infected might instead be a symbol of status.

When civilization developed, a large amount of Source Stone was mined, and the number of infected people surged. Coupled with the invention of Source Stone techniques and various other tools that could compensate for combat effectiveness, the infected people became an unstable factor. It can be said that things are changing.

The primitive man in front of him had gnarled muscles. He should be a warrior who went out to hunt. However, he was seriously injured. A huge claw mark penetrated his chest. You could even see the faint beating through this hideous wound. heart.

This kind of injury is difficult to treat even with people who are proficient in medical magic, let alone in an era when illness and injury can only be resisted by physical strength.

The primitive man also knew this. His eyes were filled with despair, and he was just running around in the forest with his last breath. It would not be long before he died of excessive blood loss.

Li Ang just watched him running around holding his wound, and then accidentally broke into a hidden valley, exhausted his last bit of strength and fell on the grass.

The blood in his body had almost dried up. When he was about to lose consciousness, he was still mumbling a prayer, hoping that someone would come out to save him.

Of course, according to the development of the general script, this primitive warrior should shed all his blood and then die in this unknown valley.

At that time, the human territory was very small, and it was impossible for anyone to hear his cry for help. The most likely possibility was that some kind of wild beast smelled his blood and chased him all the way to eat his body.

But if that had happened, it wouldn't have been a turning point in history.

Although there was no human around him,...some consciousness in this valley heard his cry for help.

Chapter 1 Reflection of History 2

"A consciousness? No entity?" Li Ang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Is this the true face of the Great Ming God?Li Ang was still thinking about what the Great Ming God's true form would look like, and whether it would be the origin of that race in the world of Terra. He didn't expect that he had no true form at all, or that he was the valley itself. Birth consciousness.

The still ignorant consciousness heard the soldier's cry for help. I don't know what kind of thinking he went through. In short, a miracle occurred. The fatal injuries on the primitive man's body were gradually healing. When the primitive man woke up from the coma, After arriving, he ecstatically touched the hideous scar on his chest and knelt on the ground to thank God for his gift.

The story begins here.

Not long after, the tribe to which the primitive man belonged moved into the valley and became the first followers of the new god Zhuan.

While the Great Ming God is protecting these people, he is also observing them, constantly absorbing what he lacks from human beings.

With the protection of the gods, this tribe gradually became the most powerful force in the area, and even once unified the entire Dongguo region. Even if a natural disaster occurred, they could migrate in time under the warning of the Great Ming God to avoid being hit by natural disasters. destroy.

In that era, large tribes that could survive for a long time had more or less the ability to avoid natural disasters. Many of them, like this tribe, had reached deals with gods and other beings.

That tribe was already very powerful, but unfortunately, the location of the Eastern Kingdom on the Terra continent was too remote, and no matter how strong it was, its strength was limited. What was even more unfortunate was that at that time, the Terra continent had already An extremely powerful empire was born.

"The Sakaz Empire..."

There is no doubt that Sarkaz is one of the most powerful races in the world of Terra. I don’t know how many years ago, they once unified the entire continent, enslaved most of the races in the world, and established a world called The excessive size of the Sakaz Empire.

This is the reason why the Sakaz clan is targeted. The claims that Sakaz are susceptible to ore disease and that Sakaz are cruel and murderous are all nonsense. They just don’t want to see a second Sakaz empire appear in the world. .

What Li Ang saw right now was the scene where the Sakaz Empire conquered the entire continent of Terra an unknown number of years ago.

Compared with the Sakaz warriors, the tribe that believed in the Great God of Ming was as weak as a baby. Sakaz's vulnerability to ore disease was a symbol of strength in that era. Because of the emergence of a large number of Sakaz infected people, they He even summarized the crudest source stone technique, which is Sakaz witchcraft.

Almost all Sakaz people can use rudimentary witchcraft, and their soldiers are almost overwhelmingly powerful. When encountering the army of the Sakaz Empire, this tribe in a remote corner was beaten without the ability to fight back. It didn't take long for them to be reduced to the point where they were about to be exterminated.

The pictures that appeared in front of Li Ang were not coherent. They simply told Li Ang how the tribe was pressed to the ground and rubbed by the Sakaz Empire. However... among these incomplete pictures, Li Ang saw an old acquaintance.

"Wait...this guy is...Kelsey?"

This is the first time that Li Ang has seen Kelsey's appearance. Her green hair is very distinctive, but in perception, all her characteristics are consistent with the one in Rhode Island. It has been confirmed that it is her.

Kelsey actually has a high status in the Sakaz Empire, and she does have a team under her, but it has nothing to do with the war, she seems to be looking for something.

Later, the tribe was completely defeated, and only a small number of people retreated into the valley where the great god was. The Sakaz Empire had no intention of fighting a god to the death. Even if they had such ability, they would not do such a thing. Not a good deal.

In the reflection after this, Kelsey did not appear. Her figure appearing here was probably just a coincidence. Even Kelsey herself did not know that what Li Ang was looking for was the territory of the Great Ming God, otherwise she would not be there. After paying a certain price, he helped Li Ang find clues about the Red Carp State.

However, this also made Li Ang know one thing. Kelsey seemed to have lived a little too long. Li Ang thought that her life of a few hundred years was the limit. Unexpectedly, she had already appeared during the Sakaz Empire. .

Li Ang slightly regretted giving Kelsey a promise. A person who has lived for hundreds of years and a person who has lived for thousands of years are two completely different concepts. I really don’t know what trouble Kelsey will make him do. thing.

But without trading with Kelsey, Li Ang would not be able to find the location of Red Carp State. It can only be said that there are gains and losses.

Sighing, it seemed that he could only take one step at a time. As for going back on his word, Li Ang had never thought about it, and Li Ang also told Kelxi at the time that if it was too troublesome, Li Ang would not do it. , I believe that a person who has lived for thousands of years will make wise choices.

Rubbing his brows, the historical reflection he just saw was indeed of some use, but Li Ang felt that this was not what the Great God really wanted to tell him. It could only be regarded as a small surprise at best, and the more important thing should be yet to come.

After an unknown number of years, the Sakaz Empire collapsed. Different races suddenly became the masters of this continent, and Sakaz became a demon clan that everyone shouted to beat.

There must be something fishy in this. If there is no special reason, why would an empire that ruled an entire continent suddenly collapse?Moreover, the Sakaz Empire collapsed a bit too quickly, and even civil strife would have to last for a while.

But the Sakaz Empire seemed to suddenly collapse overnight. Yesterday they were still enslaving all races, but the next day they were kicked off the throne by all races.

Of course, the Great God of Ming doesn’t know the reason. He is at best the land god of the countryside. How can he know the reason for the collapse of the Sakaz Empire?That woman Kelsi may know something, but Li Ang is not interested in it.

After the collapse of the Sakaz Empire, a small country called 'East' was established on this land, which is now the East Country.

With the large-scale mining of Source Stone, the birth of Source Stone Memory, the invention of the Source Stone Engine, and the emergence of mobile cities, everything seemed to have been pressed on the accelerator button. The civilization of the Terran world developed at an astonishing speed. .

During this period of time, the Great Ming God and the original survivors never came out of that valley. However, with the development of civilization, even gods will be shot down from the clouds by humans, and the Great Ming God wants to hide this valley. It's getting more and more difficult.

Until one day, a monk from the Eastern Kingdom accidentally entered the territory of the great god.

Chapter 111 Sacrifice

To put it simply, the Great Ming Shen was driven into isolation by the Sakaz Empire in its heyday, and since then he has been hiding in his lair and no longer interfering with the outside world.

But even if He doesn't look for others, someone will take the initiative to look for Him. With the development of civilization, there are only a few areas on the land that have not been visited by people, and the valley where the Great Ming God is located is obviously not in this category.

There will always be people who come here accidentally, and even the Great Ming God cannot completely erase the memories of these outsiders. This is how the story Li Ang first heard was spread.

The Great Ming God wants to move to a place where he will not be disturbed by outsiders, but such a place either has a dangerous environment or has poor resources. The Great Ming God can survive in such a place, but his dependents cannot.

But when an old monk from the Eastern Kingdom strayed into the valley, things took a turn for the worse.

The monk did not stay in the valley for long before leaving, but before leaving, he left behind a landscape painting from the Yan Kingdom. This landscape painting has a very magical ability, and there is actually a virtual space inside it.

Creatures can enter the world in the painting and survive normally in it. The disadvantage is that if ordinary people stay there for a long time, they may be assimilated into the world in the painting and will never be able to leave the world in the painting.

But this is not a problem for most people. Ordinary people in the world of Terra rarely leave their mobile cities. It seems that there will be no problem if the mobile city is replaced by a painted world.

However... if you want to move all the dependents into the world of the painting, there are still a few small problems to solve.

The picture scroll that the old monk brought was indeed a good thing. It was probably a treasure made by another god or agent. However, the space in the world in the picture was limited. It was only as big as a small town and could not accommodate everyone.

Moreover, the power of the scroll is limited. It requires a certain kind of special energy to maintain the internal space. Once this energy is exhausted, the world in the painting will collapse. Moreover, the fragile body of the scroll is also a huge weakness. Once the scroll itself is destroyed by someone, the power of the scroll is limited. If it is destroyed, the world in the painting will also perish.

Whether to continue hiding in the valley and wait to be discovered by the people of the Eastern Kingdom, or to move the entire ethnic group into the world of the painting after paying a certain price, the great god faced a difficult choice.

As for contact with the outside world?The Great Ming God has never considered this issue. If He wanted to do this, he would not have chosen to hide in the valley in the first place.

And the East Kingdom is indeed not a good place. Although the Great Mingshen is hiding in the valley, he can also get a rough idea of ​​the development outside through the people who accidentally enter here from time to time.

Sandwiched between the two behemoths Yan Guo and Ursus, it can be said that the East Kingdom has no good fruits to eat at all. Yan Guo and Ursus are unwilling to have a large-scale conflict. The East Kingdom in the middle is in bad luck. In three days, Both ends were pushed to the ground by Ursus and beaten. Although Yan Guo would provide certain compensation, it was not certain how many people would die in the process.

The years of war in the Eastern Kingdom are partly due to this reason. Once these people under the Great Ming God appear in the Eastern Kingdom, they will definitely become the targets of all parties and then be sent to the battlefield to be used as cannon fodder.

Although the Great Ming God has some abilities, he is not the kind of god who is good at fighting. He is completely incomparable to a certain deer-headed spirit. Otherwise, he would not be pressed to the ground and rubbed by the Sakaz Empire. When Sakaz was in the process of conquering the world In the middle, I have never had the idea of ​​​​Heiliu Shuhai at all.

In this case, the great god made a decision that no one expected - He decided to merge with the scroll, which could not only expand the internal space of the scroll world, but also replenish the energy consumed by the scroll.

As long as the god does not die, this scroll world will continue to exist. In a sense, these people in Sagazaki City are living in the body of the great god.

Looking at the scrolls enshrined in a dilapidated shrine in the dark cave, giving off little glimmers of light, Li Ang felt somewhat melancholy. Although he was not willing to sacrifice himself for irrelevant people, he would have feelings for such people. Have respect.

The dependents of the Great Ming God may not know the price He has to pay, but Li Ang knows it very well.

There is no need to sacrifice one's own strength, and the consumption of maintaining the world in the painting is minimal. The Great God of Ming is still powerful. Although it is not comparable to the top gods, it is also beyond the reach of human beings. He does not have to sacrifice his own life, as long as he is not found and beaten to death. , He can still live for a long time, and there is no problem in living until the extinction of mankind.

Even because the quality of the fused scroll is good, the survivability of the great god has been improved. With the blessing of the power of the gods, the scroll itself is indestructible, and even resisting natural disasters is not a problem. And if someone wants to destroy the scroll itself, the great god is completely You can drag him into the scroll. In the world of the scroll, the great god is almost invincible.

The dependents can thrive in the world in the painting and no longer have to worry about the messy things in the outside world. To realize all of this, the Great Ming God only needs to pay one thing——

His wisdom, or understanding.

The birth of the Great Ming God was just a miracle, a miracle that could not be replicated at all. But even so, he was just an advanced life with a special form of existence. There was a big gap between him and the omnipotent gods in myths and legends. If you want to Maintaining such a huge space is definitely not something that a single life can do.

The maker of that scroll just painted the picture and left it alone, and the internal space had nothing to do with it. However, the great god wanted to maintain the space for a long time, and even planned to stuff 10,000+ people inside.

I don't know if it was because of responsibility or other feelings, but Mingshen finally chose this path.

Ever since the great god made his sacrifice, time has passed and his dependents have been thriving in the scroll world. Occasionally, one or two people will run in from the outside world and be assimilated into this world and become part of Sagazaki City.

The Great God knows one thing very well. Divine authority is an existence that is even more incomprehensible than feudal society. Fanatical beliefs will distort human minds. He does not want to see this kind of thing. Therefore, the belief in Hagoromo Shrine was also erased by himself. .

Time passed little by little. During this period, the world in the painting was developing steadily. Nothing memorable happened, so history was reflected very quickly. Until an unknown day, two more Terran people appeared. Breaking into the world in this picture scroll.

The scene in front of him suddenly changed, and a middle-aged man and woman appeared in front of Li Ang.

Chapter 112 The Naumans repair

Li Ang blinked and suddenly felt that the man and woman in front of him looked familiar.

They were two Caprini men who looked about 40 to [-] years old. They looked a little embarrassed, as if they had rolled in the mud, and their bodies were covered with mud.

The man has short brown hair and a very sexy gentleman's beard, but he is wearing a set of dirty canvas clothes, which looks very inconsistent with the beard, and the woman, Leonti The first thing he noticed was the other person's pale pink eyes.

"Could these two be..."

Seeing such two eye-catching features, Li Ang was slightly startled, and suddenly had a guess in his heart.

"Wake up, wake up,"

Li Ang pushed Adele and woke her up from her deep sleep.

"Ugh..."

Opening her eyes, Adele looked a little dazed.

She only remembered that she was performing the ritual of the Hagoromo Matsuri. When the ceremony reached a certain level, they broke into the torrent of history and temporarily got rid of those terrifying armies of aberrations.

She seemed to be taking a short rest to prepare for the next decisive battle, and then...she seemed to fall asleep?

Adele's face turned slightly red and she said sheepishly, "Leon...did I fall asleep just now?"

"No, this is a mental shock that will occur after the historical reflection unfolds. You just fainted."

Li Ang shook his head and explained, "But that's not important. Look outside now."
