Chapter 59 The Recognition of the Ancients
The light of the mobile phone lighting shines on the ceiling, and the fine dust trembles in the constantly shaking air, drifting around in the faint white light.
Until it touches the slender touch limbs that are like spokes on the wheel, it suddenly pops up like some special protective layer.
These limbs that suddenly appeared in this pool room extended, exploring the strange environment. The grey-brown cortical folded body appeared in the center of the pool table. Protruding knot-like objects grew on the top and bottom of the bucket. Five flat long arms extended from the knot, and the long arms became thinner at the end, like starfish.
Although he had met this ancient wisdom race in Greenland, and now he meets again, Zhu Jue's reason is still under the impact.
The physical instinct was urging him to leave here quickly, the farther away, the better!
"Hello?"
He waved his hand and greeted him like a young man participating in a college student friendship activity.
The emotions are the same nervousness, not because I am afraid, but because I am worried that the other party will leave directly like before.
The purpose of summoning the ancients has been completed, and the next thing to do is naturally to find a way to communicate with the other party. Zhu Jue heard outside the corridor that the cultists inside used human language, and I think the ancients could understand the meaning.
The ancient man did not respond to the sacrifice offered by the cultists and chose to leave directly, while Zhu Jue was not even prepared for the sacrifice. He did not want the ancient man to disappear in front of him in a word.
After saying hello, there is silence.
But compared to the illusion that just arrived, the ancient man's spiritual projection not only did not mean returning, but instead became more solid.
A touch limb stretches to Zhujue.
By forcibly restraining the body's subconscious counterattack, Zhu Jue vaguely noticed something, stood there frowned, and even the scavenger was deliberately hidden into his body.
The ball above the ancient man's head was like the end of the starfish limbs suddenly shining, and the brown-yellow light immediately lit up at the top of the limbs, and an inexplicable suction completely enveloped Zhu Jue!
The dark purple light appeared everywhere in his body. Zhu Jue's eyes widened. He never knew that there was such a thing in his body...
There is no doubt.
This is the remnant of the ancient crystal!
"Crystal...inside your body?"
The shock of the air brought out a low buzzing sound. Somehow, a intermittent sound suddenly appeared in Zhu Jue's mind.
Sure enough, sacrifices are secondary. The key to the ceremony is to make the ancients willing to talk, otherwise no matter how much they offer, it will not be effective.
Zhu Jue decided to continue speaking as the ancients said.
"I got it in Greenland. I met a creature like you and an indefinite terrifying monster that saved my life and transformed my body."
Trying to point the topic to the changes made by the ancient crystal to himself, Zhu Jue is not in a hurry to reveal his true purpose.
"That's our servant, Crystal controls Shuges, the situation of the same clan..."
Obviously, the unexpected knowledge of the information from the same clan made the ancient man in front of him interested in the topics mentioned by Zhu Jue, and the content transmitted through spiritual fluctuations increased.
Crystal Control Shougus?
Can the Ancient Crystal control the amorphous terrifying monster?
No wonder it was desperately chasing the people who held the ancient crystal at that time. The ancients were also trying to find this crystal. However, in Zhu Jue's memory, the ancients should have obtained the ancient crystal before Xiu Ges. Why was the final result still killed?
"They were swallowed by Shuges, and the crystal seemed useless. I really wanted to help you, but my soul was completely polluted at that time. It was your fellow tribe who threw the crystal to me, and I survived with the crystal."
When talking about this part, Zhu Jue was a little careful. He was not sure if the ancient man would suddenly become angry and make some unexpected actions after learning of the death of his fellow tribe.
"The crystal needs to be activated, and I want you to destroy Shuges... You have merged the crystal, you are very special..."
The ancient man's emotions did not fluctuate, and his absolute rationality allowed him to keep thinking even when facing the death of his fellow tribes.
Before he finished speaking, several touching limbs stretched out and began to truly contact and realize their feelings.
This time no light appeared. Zhu Jue only felt a faint current flowing through his body, and a numb feeling spread from the tailbone to the back of his head.
"You, very special, the human soul should not be so powerful... Is has helped you... strange energy, water, its servant... or itself? No, it was sealed and now fell into a deeper sleep. Lalaye has not yet risen, this is a deeper level... Even I have never seen it."
The ancients who detected something through detection emphasized the specialness of Zhujue again, and even added a layer of doubt in their words.
During the long years, it had received many human contact requests, but it had never seen such a special existence. In Zhu Jue, it did feel the energy of the crystal, but at the same time it felt the mark left by the great race of Is and some other extremely strange energy in the other person's soul.
The ancient man was full of curiosity about the person in front of him. The balls on the top of his head flickered again and again, the slender limbs in the middle of his body curled up and stretched, and the body also showed slight swelling.
"In fact, I contacted you because my abilities have reached their limits, unless they are enhanced by external objects, but those abilities are not what I own after all. I want to break through this boundary. Your crystal once made me successful, so I think you may have other methods..."
Zhu Jue undoubtedly overestimated his spiritual tolerance, and conversations with the ancients were extremely exhausting. Zhu Jue was not those cults who had been completely polluted. As a person who maintained his own consciousness, he could barely resist at first.
But when the ancients began to mention certain special existences, the impact of their spirit became more and more serious. The crazy whispers began to ring in their ears made Zhu Jue have to take the initiative to say his goal, hoping to get the desired reply as soon as possible.
"You want to be stronger...you have reached the limit. The energy in the crystal is extremely huge. You fuse it to complete the strengthening. The great race of Is releases the soul, which changes you...The soul has no shackles, but your body limits your soul... We used to have great technology, which may help you, but time weakens us. The years of war and the betrayal of Shuges have caused our civilization to decline again and again...I can't help you!"
The meaning revealed in the intermittent words made Zhu Jue feel cold. He did not think that the ancients had reason to deceive themselves here.
The ancient man's implication was very clear. Zhu Jue's soul might have transcended the limitations with the help of the great race, but his body was not liberated or his soul was restricted under the premise that he did not give up on the human race.
To give a simple example, if Zhu Jue's soul is compared to water, then his body is a wooden barrel. His absorption of energy from gems and the behavior of ancient books is like adding water to a wooden barrel. Regardless of whether it is more or less, the key is that the size of the barrel is fixed. Even if the entire sea is poured in, the amount of water that can be stored in the barrel is still only so much.
This is not to say that Zhu Juewei is weak. In fact, his current strength has surpassed most humans and even a considerable number of monsters from the source of spiritual pollution. With the help of special means, he can even win some of the superior independent races.
But just defeating the independent race of the superiors obviously cannot make Zhu Jue feel at ease. No matter how far away it is, the future seen when he accidentally released the divination method that night in the clinic, the breath revealed by the black cocoon that seemed to condense all dark matter no matter how many times he recalled it, Zhu Jue could only feel at a loss of fear.
He could not make any comments on the scene at that time, but could only reminisce over and over again in the indescribable bitterness.
Even such aftertastes were not under his control, but only appeared in his nightmare.
If his soul had not been strong enough, he would have been in irreversible madness like most people who had seen those indescribable things.
As for the ancients' remarks, Zhu Jue can actually vaguely feel them in the few battles that use mutation states so far.
Five years ago, because he was influenced by the bear monster, he had a life-and-death game every time he entered a mutation. But today, five years later, this situation has completely turned around.
In the mutation state, he could feel his ease, as if this was what he was... It was like the frame of a wooden barrel was raised a little, and the water in the barrel would naturally become ease when it flowed.
After restoring the human form, although the spirit will return to normal, Zhu Jue can realize the stagnation of strength.
And this is the biggest contradiction facing Zhu Jue.
Perhaps it is also the contradiction faced by all human beings who are invaded by indescribable things, but they do not have the right to choose. Often, they lose dominance over their souls and bodies as soon as the contradiction arises.
But Zhu Jue is different.
Even though he knew clearly that he could not be called a human to some extent, he would absolutely not accept that Zhu Jue would give up his identity and live as a monster.
Because he also understands that once he truly accepts such self-awareness and maintains a mutational form at all times, then one day in the future, his spiritual will may truly transform like this.
What is the difference between this kind of him and mutation after being mentally contaminated?
"There's really no way?"
He asked unwillingly.
"Our technology cannot help you, the souls of the great race of Is are extremely powerful... Even if they do some actions, they will have to temporarily abandon **, and you will not be them..."
At this point, the ancient man's voice became increasingly weak in Zhu Jue's mind. It was obvious that it was ready to end this conversation.
Zhu Jue opened his mouth and finally said dryly: "Goodbye, thank you for answering my questions."
The figure in the air gradually became transparent, and it could be seen that its head and limbs were shaking, as if it was a greeting to Zhujue.
He stroked his forehead and took a breath in disappointment.
Suddenly, the space in front of me fluctuated again!
The figure that should have completely disappeared appeared again!
"Mi Go...I feel their existence, right nearby, they actually appear on this planet... Humans, you may still have a chance!"
Chapter completed!
