Pythagoras first began to study ancient civilizations out of goodwill and to promote the development of mankind.

Through meetings and exchanges with Hermes, Pythagoras's understanding of the Ishu civilization surpassed everyone in the present.

...Of course, it does not include Xin Sheng, who is an outsider.

Under Hermes' guidance, Pythagoras found the long-clogged ruins of Atlantis.

After decades of research, Pythagoras finally knew how to open the ruins of Atlantis, but his reason as a human being conflicted with his endless desire for knowledge originated from scholars.

Reason told him that now is not the best time to open the ruins of Atlantis.

However, as time passed, Pythagoras, who was waiting in front of the Atlantis seal, became more and more impatient.

Reason was gradually wiped out by time, and he was eager to enter Atlantis and learn more about the knowledge left by ancient civilizations.

When Cassandra first came to the ruins of Atlantis, Pythagoras's desire for knowledge had not yet completely overcome his reason. He entrusted Cassandra to find the four keys needed to untie the seal, intending to untie the old seal and strengthen it again.

These four keys are kept by four mythical creatures.

Although Pythagoras is already old, he is actually capable of defeating mythical creatures with a magical artifact in his hand.

However, Pythagoras, who was tortured by the desire for knowledge and gradually became crazy, did not want to leave Atlantis, so he handed over the task of collecting artifacts to his daughter, who was a tool man.

"oh?"

Pythagoras finally looked at Xin Sheng: "Forget it, since you don't want to, I won't force it."

He pointed at Natiya with his right hand, and Pythagoras said coldly: "I have never seen her situation before, but Hermes mentioned casually that Ishu people do have this kind of soul transfer technology."

According to Xin Sheng's understanding, the correct statement should be the replication and upload of consciousness and gene sequences.

Consus, who copied his soul to Eden San Porbri, is one example. It was Juno who stole Consus's technology and improved it to finally develop this technology similar to the reincarnation of the soul.

"Cassandra, I'm sorry I can do nothing."

After Xin Sheng let go of the Double Snake Staff, Pythagoras said in a plain tone: "Her two genes are entangled too closely, and forced external interference will only cause her body and soul to collapse."

"Whether you can win the battle for the soul without seeing the sword and the shadow of the sword can only depend on her own will."

Xin Sheng dared to bet that this half-crazy old guy would definitely hope that Athena would win.

In this way, he could learn more about the Ishu civilization from Athena.

Hope failed, Kassandra lowered her head silently and sorted out Natiya's hair.

"Clang~"

Xin Sheng placed the Egis Shield and the Golden Spear brought with him next to Natiya, and also returned the statue of the Victory hanging on his chest to Natiya.

"I believe Natiya can get through this difficult situation, Kassandra, let's complete what we should do first."

Temporarily ignoring Pythagoras, Xin Sheng walked to the Atlantis seal.

This seal is like a water mirror, separating Atlantis's secret from the other end of the mirror.

From this side outside the seal, you can see that there are many fish swimming freely in the water mirror, and you can vaguely see the phantom of a city through the refracted water light.

The light blue water light is the only light source at the entrance to the Atlantis ruins. This cold light illumination makes Xin Sheng a little uncomfortable.

There are four towering stone pillars around the square platform where the four people are located.

Above the square, a huge triangle floating unconventionally in the air, with a representative pattern of a mythical creature on each side.

The four stone pillars have very typical traces of Ishu civilization. They are like the light sources used for lighting in Minotaus nests, with a dark golden glow that never fades.

Xin Sheng saw spherical grooves in the center of these luminous stone pillars, and their purpose was self-evident.

"Crack~"

Take out the Eden golden apple from the backpack that I had prepared long ago, and Xin Sheng casually found a stone pillar to inlay the golden apple into the groove.

As the mechanism was dispatched, the color of the light emitted on the surface of the stone pillar changed, and the silver-white light gathered into a beam and shone on the triangle above the square.

At the same time, a sound suddenly began to be heard in the triangular body in the air, which was a righteous female voice with anger and questioning in her words.

"You are just orangutans in the laboratory. How many artifacts have you created to control their minds?"

"Are you so afraid of the potential of their race?"

The female voice seemed to be arguing with someone, but the voice of the person who was arguing with him was not recorded. What Xin Sheng and others heard was a one-man show.

Judging by the questioning of this female voice and her attitude, she should be an Ishu who advocates cooperation with humans and is denounced the atrocities of other compatriots in treating humans as inferior animals.

This passage also mentions "the end of the world", accusing Yishuren of interfering in the movement of the universe, which eventually attracted revenge on the rules of the universe.

This is information that Xin Sheng has not obtained, and it also explains why the sun suddenly undergoes abnormal activities that are enough to destroy the earth's ecology.

‘Is it interference with the universe? How far is Yishuren’s technology developed to…’

Four Eden golden apples, each corresponding to a stone pillar.

Starting from unlocking the second stone pillar, the tone of Ishuren named Alteya changed, and the message she left seemed to be specifically targeting the person who unlocked the stone pillar.

"Ancient adventurers, I'm sorry to confuse you. I know you can't understand the abilities and technology of Ishuren."

"We, Yishu, have a sixth sense that humans do not have. We can see many different pasts and futures with the help of high-tech equipment."

Pythagoras and Kassandra were confused. Their knowledge was not enough to understand this inexplicable passage.

Xin Sheng showed a thoughtful expression on his face.

‘Are the countless timelines parallel to the world’s different than the future?’

‘This is already a god's realm that has touched the forbidden... No wonder the ancient Greeks regarded the Ishu civilization as the kingdom of gods.’

Althea's message continues: "Depending on your choice, corresponding changes will occur in the future."

"So, I cannot point you the shortcut to the end, and all history must be written by you."

"Please remember to keep hope in mind. No matter what you encounter during your journey, don't let despair fill your heart."

"You are not just a mercenary, you will become the hero connecting the present and the future."

‘Mercenary?’

Xin Sheng turned his gaze to Cassandra with a surprised face: "It seems that this passage is left for you."

"Ha ha!"

Pythagoras laughed furiously and said, "My preparations have finally blossomed and bear fruit."

"Cassandra, the pioneer recognized the potential contained in your bloodline. She is talking to you!"

‘Preparation? Ho~’

Pythagoras's words made Xin Sheng feel disgusted.

Xin Sheng was not sure if the previous Pythagoras was such a monster that was overly pursuing rationalization.

At least for now, he just regarded the birth of Cassandra as his pre-complete preparation, rather than the crystallization of his love with Mirin.

"Um~"

At this moment, Natiya, who was originally lying quietly in the square, let out a slight moan.

Xin Sheng, who was about to inlaid the third golden apple into the stone pillar, stopped his movements and turned his head in surprise with Kassandra to look at Natiya's location.
Chapter completed!
