"You...have no way to leave this primitive era and return to your own era?"
Gu Qingshan asked cautiously.
The old ape said: "There is no way. In fact, this is the best ending for me - tell me what is happening outside now."
Gu Qingshan thought for a while, but did not mention anything else. He only said: "There are some tomb guards who betrayed their duty to guard the tomb..."
He told the story of the Six Paths War Priest and the Six Paths War General.
"Haha... What a bunch of idiots." The old ape-man laughed.
"Why do you say that?" Gu Qingshan asked.
The old ape said: "Their duty is to bear the pain of the end of the world for the human world. When the evolution of the Six Paths is completed in the future, they will enjoy supreme glory in the human world. But now they betrayed the Six Paths and gave up their responsibilities -"
"Their tragic fate has long been doomed."
Gu Qingshan looked confused.
——To endure the pain of doomsday for the human world?
Why does this sound wrong?
"Now that the human world has been established, I don't know why you said those people are suffering for the human world." Gu Qingshan said.
The old ape said: "Can you understand the word 'backup'?"
"Understood." Gu Qingshan said.
"Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light and darkness, as well as the newly established human world, are actually just a backup, a kind of insurance, and a means to ensure that everything returns to the original point no matter what."
"I don't understand." Gu Qingshan said.
The old ape-man leaned forward slightly, stared at him and said: "The six paths of reincarnation are the great weapons of the sequence of sentient beings. Do you understand this?"
"clear."
"You have also seen the human world - you shouldn't think that it is the real human world."
"what do you mean……"
"That's just a basic backup place. It can be used for the initial screening to eliminate the Chosen Ones with poor quality."
"If there is a backup...then where is the real human world?" Gu Qingshan asked.
The old ape-man looked at him and did not answer for a moment.
Gu Qingshan suddenly woke up.
Yes.
This is the tomb of the beginning of the human world.
Could it be...
The old ape-man looked at the expression on his face and said: "It seems that you have understood that the human world is part of the Six Paths, the sharp edge of the great weapon, and starting from me is the original tomb of the human world."
Gu Qingshan's face showed shock, and he couldn't help but ask: "What do I need to do?"
The old ape said: "You must go deep into the real human world step by step, search for its sleeping tomb, and then——"
"Awaken it completely."
Gu Qingshan was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "I see."
The old ape-man took out a cane and handed it to Gu Qingshan.
"Take it, stir the fire, and the Six Paths will give you the identity to enter the Tomb of the Beginning."
Gu Qingshan took the cane and flicked it at the fire in front of him.
Bang!
A pitted stone fell out of the fire.
I saw vague marks carved on the stone, and the word "three" could be vaguely discerned.
"It seems that the Six Paths of Reincarnation has given you a new identity." The old ape said.
Gu Qingshan asked: "This 'three' means -"
"You are the third person to enter here, tsk tsk, you can be considered very fast." The old ape-man praised.
"The stone is already there, what should I do next?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Take this stone and search from the original tomb of the human world to more glorious civilizations until you find the ultimate tomb of the human world." said the old ape.
"What is the specific method? Are there any requirements?" Gu Qingshan asked.
The old ape said: "Starting from the initial tomb, you must promote the progress of civilization. Every time civilization takes a step forward, you are one step closer to the ultimate tomb."
"The ultimate of civilization is the ultimate tomb of the human world."
"—go there and wake it up."
Gu Qingshan thought for a while and asked: "All Holy Chosen Ones must participate in the process of civilization?"
"Only the chosen ones who have found the Tomb of the Beginning are qualified to participate in civilization. Of course, the later people come, the later they will participate and the higher the difficulty," the old ape said.
Gu Qingshan nodded and said: "Thank you very much."
He reached out and grasped the pitted stone.
In an instant, lines of small scarlet characters appeared in the void:
"You have entered the original tomb of the human world."
"You have obtained the initial identity: Ancient Ape Man."
"From now on, you will work with all the Chosen Ones to promote the progress of civilization."
"When the process of civilization reaches its end, you will be able to awaken the real human world!"
"Note: The Six Paths of Reincarnation will grant you corresponding merit based on your contribution."
"With merit, your strength will be unlocked piece by piece."
"start!"
All the scarlet letters quickly dissipated.
Gu Qingshan found that his hands were gradually covered with long black hair.
——Not just his arms, his whole body has turned into a real ancient ape!
The ancient ape stood up, moved his body, shrugged and said:
"Strange feeling..."
"You will get used to it, it just takes time." The old ape-man said with a gloomy look.
"Do you have any advice for me?" asked the ancient ape.
The old ape-man looked at him and said: "In my duty, I have said all that I need to say."
The ancient ape said: "Maybe you don't know, but I can actually see that you are the kind of person who is quite intelligent and knowledgeable. I always respect such people."
"How did you tell?" asked the old ape-man.
"Your temperament and a natural feeling - people engaged in research can easily recognize similar people when they see them." said the ancient ape.
The ancient ape squatted down opposite the old ape again, looked at the old ape seriously, and whispered: "You have been trapped here for too long, and I am a Holy Chosen One. If I can help you in any way, I will It would be an honor.”
The old ape asked: "What do you study?"
Ancient Ape said: "Mainly mobile armor, with some space technology also taken into account."
"What space technology?"
"Transition technology, but I have only dabbled in this area. A friend of mine specializes in this field."
“What do you think of what you’re studying?”
"It's hard to explain. I'll show you the mecha I built when the time comes."
"Haha... you really look like a scientist."
The old ape-man smiled and his attitude became a little more friendly.
"Really, is there any way I can help you?" Ancient Ape whispered.
"Other methods will not work... The Six Paths of Reincarnation is always paying attention to the Holy Selection. Don't try to play tricks in front of it, and don't try to take advantage of any loopholes." The old ape said.
The ancient ape sighed.
The old ape-man was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Since you are a fellow traveler, I can give you some personal advice."
The ancient ape looked attentive.
"Don't show off miracles in a backward era, and pretend to be gods and ghosts. Some people may think that it is easy to control the entire civilization, but in fact it will only lead the civilization to go astray."
"——After all, this is the human world, not the heavenly world."
After listening quietly, the ancient ape nodded in thanks and said, "I understand."
"Go." The old ape said.
"Thank you, see you later."
"See you later."
The ancient ape took the stone and walked out of the cave.
He stood at the entrance of the cave and looked out into the valley.
I saw a holy light emerging from an ape-man's body, floating in the air.
It announced to all the apes: "I am the god of all apes. From now on, you must obey my orders and engage in production together -"
boom!
A bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck the ape-man.
The ape-man didn't say a word as his whole body was split open.
Bang-bang-click.
A stone rolled down at the feet of the ancient ape.
The ancient ape picked it up.
I saw a number clearly written on the stone:
"two."
——Turns out to be the No. 2 Holy Chosen One.
He has been eliminated.
The ancient ape sighed and put the stone away.
"To drive the ape civilization forward...what should we do?"
The ancient ape climbed up a big tree, sat on the branch and quietly observed the entire tribe.
——This is obviously a small tribe that has just been formed.
The apes are still in a state of ignorance, with no clothes to cover their bodies and no food to eat. The only thing worthy of praise is that they can already drill wood to make fire.
How can this civilization move forward?
Suddenly, a beast roar came.
The ancient ape suddenly turned his head and looked around, only to see a huge saber-toothed tiger appearing in the mountain stream.
The apes screamed and fled in all directions.
Only a handful of strong ape-men barely controlled the fear in their hearts and wielded heavy stone hammers.
Another group of apes held torches and shouted loudly, trying to stop the beasts.
When the wild beasts saw the torch, they naturally did not dare to move forward, but they were not willing to leave just yet.
It squatted not far from the camp, looking carefully and waiting.
The ancient ape on the tree fell into deep thought.
If this beast doesn't leave, he must have helpers or other means.
And the apes... only have stone hammers and torches.
How to fight a saber-toothed tiger like this?
Do you want to join yourself?
No...if you join in, you can only resist this attack, but you won't be able to advance civilization.
civilization--
The ancient ape was silent for a few breaths, and suddenly took out two stones from his body.
He squatted on a high branch and began to polish the stone.
After a while, the stone was ground into new contours.
- It becomes sharp and pointy.
