Chapter 240： the truth

With a flash of arcane sparks, Carmel turned and quietly watched nearly a thousand seats in the hall, as well as the 792 former colleagues who had fallen into sleep.

"A thousand years ago... A thousand years ago, I was one of the principal investigators of the Imperial Royal Magisters. A secret order issued by the Emperor of the Emperor transferred me from the Imperial Capital to this fortress on the northern border. For the first time. When I saw it, I was as surprised as you are now.

"The empire secretly built this facility. As early as 1200 years ago, this plan has already begun. Yes, as you just said, we are aware of the magic tide that the royal family realized long ago. The approach of the magic tide, and has been seeking a solution, this is a huge and secret plan, the royal family and the entire magician group are involved, but there are very few people who really know the whole picture, even as the chief of the Royal Magister Researcher, I can only know what I am responsible for in this plan.

"My mission is to analyze the power of the gods and find ways to combine the genetic elements of the gods with human cells...

"Please don't interrupt me. I know that these things are incredible to you, but it did happen a thousand years ago.

"When I came to this fort, this plan has been in operation for two hundred years. We found the exact location of the 'white star', it is not in the world, but needs to cross the shadow world and reach the edge of the shadow world. So we built a space door on the ground floor of the 'hiccup' fortress, which opened the barrier between several 'boundary layers' with the help of the power of the gods, and the exploration team brought back the **** of nature from there. Flesh sample..."

Kamal said as he raised the arm that was condensed by the arcane energy to the wall, accompanied by a small spark, and a hidden door was suddenly found on the original wall. As the snoring of the mechanical operation slowly opened, Carmel slowly drifted toward the door: "Please come with me, I hope that you can stay calm no matter what you see."

Gao Wen and Heidi looked at each other and took people to the pace of Carmel.

"We paid a huge price. The mortal people directly contacted the flesh and blood of the gods. Even looking directly at the flesh and blood would be fatal, let alone extracting energy and genetic factors from it, but we found some and corpses in the shadow world." Mixing things together, that helps us find a way to resist the erosion of divine power... although it is only partially effective."

Behind Carmel, Gao Wen saw the hidden rooms and the secrets that remained in the room.

In a laboratory, he saw large pieces of metal and crystal wrecks bound and sealed by a complex magical array. The wreckage seemed to be stripped from some larger man-made object, even if it had already gone through I don’t know how many years have passed, they still have a new texture.

"Their materials..." Gao Wen looked seriously at the metal and crystal fragments. "It seems to be the same as the eternal slate?"

Kamal nodded. "Yes, exactly the same thing, these things are with the corpse of the gods. It even seems that they have caused the fall of the gods. However, we don't know the true connection between the eternal slate and these things."

Gao Wen’s heart moved, he had vaguely guessed the truth, but he said nothing.

Carmel went through the room and continued to move forward: "I don't know the whole picture of the whole plan, but I know that the power of the gods is the only thing that can resist the magic tide, and let humans survive in the magic tide. The only way is to change our life form. After decades of research, the forerunners have found a way to extract energy from the flesh and blood of the gods, and the team I led is further on this basis: injecting the genetic factors of the gods Human cells, thus altering the nature of humans in the underlying biological structure.

"In this way, human beings can carry those 'powers of the gods', even if it is only a weak force, it can also bring hope to resist the magic tide. In the 'outside' lab, I cultivated the first period. The experimental body, I named it 'God'..."

"It turned out to be..." Gao Wen whispered a word.

Carmel did not hear: "What?"

"No, it doesn't matter," Gao Wen looked at the ancient spirit of the mana. "And then? Is the **** successful?"

“Ultimately, we have created a stable genetic factor that can be safely integrated with human cells and passed on from generation to generation. Humans carrying genetic factors will not die as in the first phase of the 'God'. In the case of malignant mutations, a beneficial rapid mutation can occur at the arrival of the magic tide, mutating before the body dies, adapting to the new environment in the magic tide... theoretically."

Kamal took Gao Wen and his entourage to the next room, where they saw neatly arranged culture vessels, which were well preserved, soaking human samples of different periods in a translucent biomass solution. The initial sample was a huge body that swollen and had distorted crystals on the surface, but the more stable the sample was, the more stable it was in the final container, which was almost a healthy human.

"What do you say in theory?" Gao Wen looked at Carmel, who was floating in front of him. He had a faint conjecture in his heart. "You haven't tested it?"

"Unable to test," Carmel stopped. "All the information about the magic tide can only be simulated. We use the deep blue well to simulate, but what is the real magic tide... probably only the gods know, but we It is to rebel against the gods."

After saying this, the ancient spirit of the mana continued to move forward with everyone, and Gao Wen noticed that they were heading for the upper level: there is still a third layer in this facility.

"After the final deity was completed, the mission of the facility was over, the personnel were evacuated, and the materials and samples were sent back to the capital, but not everyone had evacuated," Carmel’s voice echoed in the empty corridor. As if the soul is empty, "We are not sure whether the gods can really fight the magic tide, and we are not sure whether there will be new disasters to destroy humans, so a group of people were selected as 'seeds', seeds They are sealed at the deepest part of the facility and sealed in a different space from the world. If the 'outside world' is really destroyed, then we will at least leave a last-line hope for mankind."

"That's what we saw in the hall..." Herti muttered to herself, then raised her voice. "Are you planning to rely on hundreds of people to rebuild human society?"

"No, we have more than a few hundred people," Camille seemed to smile, but all his expressions were mixed in the smashing arcane sparks. He stopped at the end of the corridor at the end of the corridor. "This Behind the door is a quiet hall, which originally had 60,000 people."

"60,000?!" Hetty's eyes widened, but then he realized the key points in Carmel's words. "You said... originally?"

"Yes, originally."

Carmel opened the door, and as the heavy, old isolation door slowly opened, the scene in the quiet hall was in front of everyone.

Everyone lost their words in horror.

Behind the gate is a fragmented space. There is no stagnant hall at all. There is no "seed" of 60,000 reconstruction civilization. A crazy faintness is shrouded outside. Huge space cracks and violent energy raging in the distance, into the eyes There are only gravel floating in the air, broken debris and unclear shadows, and a small piece of ground and several torn walls and domes are the only traces of the quiet hall.

It was as if a wild storm had struck here, completely smashing the stagnation hall and swallowing it.

This is a desperate scene, but Carmel has quietly accepted this fact many years ago. He just quietly closed the gate, took everyone to the other direction, and slowly said what happened in the past. Come out: "We made a fatal mistake... even if we hide here, we can't hide the magic tide.

“The magic tide hit the refuge and caused a chain reaction of space collapse. Except for a small number of facilities to be preserved, everything was destroyed by energy tides and space storms. 60,000 people disappeared silently and survived. Only the 'watchers' at the center of the facility.

“The watchmen are the guards who are willing to stay. We sleep in a small, quiet hall. We wake up every 20 years to see the situation in the quiet hall and receive the latest news from the communication hall. The news we slept again and again, woke up again and again, watching 60,000 people lying unconsciously in the stagnation hall, and the communication hall was the news of the imperial peace.

"You can't imagine what it feels like... In the first hundred years of closed facilities, the last person we met in the outside world has passed away. In the 160s, the magic tide has not yet happened, the empire Still prosperous, we even began to doubt the necessity and significance of this plan. Perhaps the magic tide will not come at all. Our more than 900 volunteers and 60,000 'seeds' are just worried about a ridiculous doomsday prophecy. And spent all of my life for this illusory doomsday panic, but we still faithfully executed the orders and fulfilled the vows that were made that year. Some people could not hold up in the 420 years of closed facilities, we A small internal conflict broke out, and someone was going to open the door from it, but eventually the big magician, Wigma, took control of the situation, and then..."

Carmel was silent for a long time, and his voice rang low: "We woke up in a shrill alarm, and received a heavy news from the fortress in a mess. In the communication hall, we saw the Emperor The last message sent, we are the last survivor, the necessity and significance of this plan has finally been confirmed, but everything has not developed as we expected.

"The stagnation hall was destroyed. Two-thirds of the structure of the entire facility disappeared into the storm. The magicians leading to the world were also closed due to the influence of the magic tide. Even if the magic door was not closed, we could not leave the outside. The world is no longer able to survive, and what makes us survive is only the land of this cone.

“We experienced chaos, experienced despair, experienced hysteria and even violent conflicts, but in the end, we decided to live.”
