Chapter 190 - sacred sign

"Oglock …" Zero repeated the name softly. In the coastline, this name represented supreme authority, just like the sky's never-dissipating radiation clouds that enveloped the entire coastline.

"I'm sorry to have let you listen to a bunch of old people nagging." Ben changed his tone and his originally heavy tone became impassioned again. "Let's skip over those insignificant fragments. You just need to know that Asgard was born in the early years of Parliament and continued to develop in this direction. In short, our limitless expansion and autocracy with the Dark Council are two completely different leaps, and the resulting conflicts and conflicts are inevitable. "Of course, in the early stages, we were completely powerless to compare with the parliament, which had just begun to take shape. Therefore, my comrades and I had no choice but to head west to the uninhabited area and build a temporary stronghold in the Julian Mountains."

Asgard is developing on the basis of this foothold, of course Oglock will not let us continue to develop. But the distance from the coastline at that time to the front line in Yurian which spans thousands of kilometers is too long for the Council. Ben reached out and tapped the corner of the table. Each time his finger landed on the table, a corresponding light button would light up. The next moment, a cylindrical metal object bounced up from the table. It was separated into eight parts, and a laser beam rose up from the middle of it. The laser suddenly expanded, creating a screen of light between Ben and Zero.

In the hologram, a map of the no-man's land was quickly constructed. In the map, Zero saw the Julian Mountains. In the mountains, there was a red dot of light with the words' Asgard 'written on it. There were less than 120 strongholds or camps belonging to the Heroic Spirit Hall that continued to move west from the Yuri Mountains. These fortifications built an effective supply line that reached into the region within 10,000 kilometers of the western region.

Occasionally, there would be other signs near these footholds. Those were some strange nouns. However, the suffix of these nouns, without exception, added the word 'race'!

"This is?" Zero asked in surprise.

Ben smiled and said, "This is one of the many achievements of our decades of exploration. We have proven that intelligent life after the Cataclysm is not just human beings." Do you see the markings on those yellow rings? Each symbol represented a mutated race hidden in the Western Lands. Their ancestors might have been reptiles or other forms of life. However, without exception, after the great calamity, their genes underwent an earth-shattering change and transformed into new life forms that are as intelligent as us. "

Zero shuddered, reminding him of Lara and the werewolf from Morin. They were undoubtedly the representatives of new life forms. They all possessed greater strength than their predecessors, as well as the intelligence of humans. However, the intelligent life forms that Ben discovered evolved faster and had formed a social relationship with the tribe. Only the heavens knew how many more of these intelligent beings existed in the pitch-black area behind the map.

Zero originally thought that in the near future, the earth will set off a tide of evolution. It seemed like he was wrong. The evolution had already started, but not many humans knew about it yet.

"After a long period of research, we discovered this rule. The closer they got to the spot where the meteor shower had landed, the faster the lives that survived would evolve, and the speed at which they would evolve would be several times faster than other lifeforms. These intelligent life forms are called alien races, and so far we have discovered a dozen or so alien races. They have already gone through generations of evolution, and their genes have stabilized. The evolution like this is happening, and the mutated beasts near the coastline are beginning to mutate. "

In the following conversation, Zero knew that when the newly established Heroic Spirit Hall came into contact with these foreign races, it couldn't avoid a conflict. However, with the efforts of the Heroic Spirit Hall, the number of conflicts gradually decreased. Up until the last decade, the Heroic Spirit Hall had even sent out special people to station themselves amongst these foreign races, guiding them in the construction of their own social groups, and even providing medical care and food security. As for the Heroic Spirit Hall, through their contact with the foreign races, they also obtained samples of their blood. This made them make numerous breakthroughs in the field of gene research.

However, among the ten-odd non-humankind beings, only a few would be able to accept humans. The deeper west they went, the fiercer these alien races became, and the deeper their hostility towards the humans became. The stronghold built by the Heroic Spirit Hall had more meaning to monitor and control than convey friendly information.

"The alien's discovery is just one of our harvests coming to the western no-man's-land, but our biggest harvest is it." Ben gestured toward the light screen, and as he made different gestures, the screen seemed to receive a series of commands at the same time. The map continued to move westward, stopping at the edge of the dark region that marked the unknown. As the map expanded and rolled horizontally, the image changed from flat to solid, and the landscape of the mountain forest appeared in the eyes of zero.

Ben pulled his palm up and a vertical blue ray of light appeared in the 3D terrain of the light screen. The light kept moving down, and every time it passed a unit of distance, a set of data would appear, indicating the distance from the ground. When the data reached about two thousand meters, the blue light stopped. Following that, green lights appeared. They quickly weaved together and continuously constructed 3D models.

As the models continued to take shape, Zero saw the shape of a city. Although the green light had stopped, the edge of the city was still in an incomplete state. It seemed that it was due to the fact that the progress of the Heroic Spirit Hall's exploration had not yet been completed. However, judging from the structures that were shaped like temples, it was obvious that this underground city was quite old.

On the surface of the city, there was a red symbol — Sacred Annihilation!

"This is?" Zero asked.

"As you can see, we call it a sacred relic." Ben's eyes began to darken. "At first, we only measured the presence of pure energy in the area," he said. But when we dug underground, we found this ancient city. We thought it was an ancient Mayan city, because we found a great number of stone columns, holy wells, temples, and other buildings. But then we overturned that theory, because it was impossible for the entire city to have no totem of the Serpentine god that the Mayans worshipped. And in this city, we find far more technological civilization than we have today. Do you know, we found out from the remaining energy sources in this city that they were using pure light sources? "So far, although our current technology is able to collect and store light sources, in this aspect and the level of application, we are on a completely different level from the technology shown in the holy book!"
