Flying past the densely packed wreckage of the macroship, and then passing through the pyramids made of continuous crystal heads, one could see a majestic Temple of Heaven rising from the ground and standing in front of Chu Yunsheng, which made him have to Pull up the green beetle, keep climbing up and along the wall, and fly to the top of the Temple of Heaven.
In Chu Yunsheng's memory, the last time he broke into this place in the body of an insect, he was at the end of the road, and he was in an unusual state of shock and shock. There was no time to check many details, especially after hearing about the death of Ai Tian. , and couldn't wait to leave here, so they didn't realize that this towering Temple of Heaven was actually made of huge black bricks made of unknown materials.
The appearance and size of each giant brick are almost identical, and the flawless manufacturing process is revealed in the tight fit. The only difference lies in the precise lines emerging on the outward side of each giant brick, which are embedded in the natural black giant brick. Like tiny dark gold streamlines, it forms a dense and subtle structure that makes people dizzy just by looking at it. It seems to be infinitely divisible and profound structures, and connects all the giant bricks together to form a magnificent picture.
Chu Yunsheng couldn't understand the meaning of the giant array, but he saw the crystal humanoid skeletons kneeling on the steps made of giant bricks. The one at the front suddenly moved, as if dead. And as if resurrected, he woke up from hell, supported his body with only bones, stood up leisurely, looked at him with ancient eyes in front of the giant square tripod at the top of the Temple of Heaven, and said in a long and quiet voice:
"You're here again..."
Chu Yunsheng had already controlled the green beetle and flew to the top of the Temple of Heaven. The word "you" made him frown deeply, and a standard Chinese sentence made him ask in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
The dusty skeleton raised its head. There was a faint crystal light flowing between the bones. There seemed to be two glowing fires in the empty eyes. It seemed that it had been thinking for a long time, and it murmured in a confused and slow voice: "Who am I?" ? I am a human being. Nor am I a human being... It has been a long, long time, so long that I have almost forgotten those burning years."
Chu Yunsheng couldn't find a piece of organic flesh and blood on it, and when he heard it muttering to itself, he thought of a possibility. Guessed: "Are you a robot?"
The ancient skeleton stopped thinking, glanced at Chu Yunsheng, and said solemnly: "Robot? A person can continue to live if his fingers are cut off, and his life will not be affected. A person can still live if his legs are broken... the heart can be replaced, Organs can be transplanted, and if something goes wrong, they can be replaced with new ones, from toes, arms, bones, internal organs, eyes, to nerves, cells...
Our civilization has developed over countless years based on this concept. Eventually, we can analyze and replace even the most sophisticated brain step by step, completely abandoning the natural reproduction rules of nature that give us the natural birthright from the mother's body. body, let us no longer be limited by it. Changing every part of the body at will, changing from one body to another step by step, stealing life from the rules of nature, and keeping youth forever. In this regard, we may indeed be in a sense robot. "
Its words reminded Chu Yunsheng that the Cambrian people had discovered a secret to immortality, and he couldn't help but ask: "So, you can live forever and gain eternal life?"
The ancient skeleton seemed to be still muttering to itself: "How could the laws of the universe be so simple? We thought we had reached the pinnacle of technology. We had mastered the laws of life, but we didn't know that our laws were flawed. We We are not stealing life from the sky or nature. Instead, we are inadvertently using a law we have never discovered to steal the lives of others.
Every finger and every hair is alive when they grow on a living body. Life is always a whole and not a part, so when we remove the organs from the slave body, we can provide them with replacement organs. hour. It's just using the lives of others to extend our own lives. When we finally discovered this one day, a great destruction caused by the wrath of the gods had quietly come. In the emergency, we quickly replaced those old machines with inanimate machines. Changing bodies, trying to survive the great destruction and find the truth again. "
Chu Yunsheng's eyelids twitched, he suppressed the vibration in his heart, and said calmly: "So you wrote about the death of the sky, lamenting that it was a big mistake, and those heretics are the lives you stole... you are the people who mourn the sky. !?"
The fire-like eyes of the ancient skeleton seemed to look at Chu Yunsheng in surprise, shaking his head and sighing: "When the great destruction came, when we were about to be exterminated, another god appeared, and he was angry and wanted to punish us. The god broke out in a divine war that still scares us. Then, it signed a contract with us. I don’t know the other details of the contract, but it gave us new technologies and we began to understand the world. It turns out that there is a life source, and the only thing I know is that the first item in the contract requires us to suppress all creatures within our sphere of influence that privately cultivate the life source from generation to generation. If there is resistance, we will kill without mercy!
This ship tomb was accidentally discovered by us when we were suppressing the private cultivating life-source creatures. Their sorrow for the sky caused by their big mistake resonated with us, so we took it as a warning. However, what they mourned was the sky. We don't have this qualification. "
A sharp light flashed in Chu Yunsheng's eyes and he said: "So you are a Drow."
He remembered that during the battle in the desert, Huan and Huang Beiying mentioned what kind of contract the Drow had signed with the gods, and that the Drow imprisoned many creatures who cultivated their life sources privately. In addition, the crystal light on the skeletons, If you can't guess that it is a Drow at this time, you are really stupid.
The ancient skeleton nodded without concealment. The fire in his eyes began to become brighter as time went by. He opened and closed his jaws and said, "I am a Drow, but I am not the Drow you think." Er planet. I don’t have much time. I was just reminiscing about the past to clarify my origin and why I am here. Come down, I have something important to tell you.”
Chu Yunsheng smiled coldly and said: "The Drow people are all the lackeys of the Territory Envoy. If I really go down, wouldn't I be falling into your trap?"
The ancient skeleton creaked his jaw and said bitterly: "You have been here countless times, and I have records, but I have never spoken to you once, because I was the one who urgently planned the doomsday experiment to create machines to replace organisms before the great destruction. , the only Drow who retained his original consciousness and successfully survived in the mechanical hybrid components, but the magical energy that allowed me to succeed now only has a little bit left, which is only enough to wake up once, and then I will die forever, so you and I both You should cherish this opportunity.”
Chu Yunsheng frowned and said: "I want to know the truth and falsehood of this world. If you can tell me, just say it here. If not, I will continue to search until I find the evidence."
The ancient skeleton said leisurely: "What you have encountered is just Shisan. She does not represent all Drow people. We are not all what you think. I know you want to find the truth, otherwise you wouldn't I will come here, but if you don’t come down, you will never see the truth, and even if I tell you, you won’t believe it.”
Chu Yunsheng shook his head and said, "But I still can't believe you. There are too many liars in this world, and I need to protect myself."
The ancient skeleton looked at him, its light flickering, and said helplessly: "Since you refuse to come down, then I will go up."
After speaking, Chu Yunsheng had no time to react. He saw that the Temple of Heaven suddenly grew higher and higher. In the blink of an eye, it was at his feet. The power that once isolated him suddenly seemed to have disappeared.
In shock, Chu Yunsheng immediately took out his fourth-level attack talisman and raised his sword in a fighting stance.
"Don't be nervous." The ancient skeleton pointed at his feet and said solemnly: "This is not my power, this is its power."
Chu Yunsheng said in a deep voice: "What exactly is this place?"
The ancient skeleton still pointed to the ground of the Temple of Heaven and said: "Feel it carefully, and then you will hear it."
Chu Yunsheng frowned and was about to call it nonsense, but suddenly there was a strange wave coming from under his feet. It entered his mind instantly along the soles of his feet. In front of his eyes, a grand cosmic background appeared, with countless galaxies changing. It is unpredictable, with countless stars twinkling in it, their rapid movement and evolution, birth, disappearance, explosion, destruction... but they are all expanding at an extremely fast speed, boundless.
An even older voice sounded at this time, as if coming from that universe, timeless and distant:
"We want to know what happened at the beginning of the universe, and we want to know what will happen at the last moment of the universe, so we built it."
This was the first sound, and then there was continuous silence. Only the star maps were constantly evolving, and there might be some noise, but it didn't make any sense. Just when Chu Yunsheng thought it was about to end, another voice suddenly sounded, Compared with the first voice, the last voice seemed extremely urgent, even with a hint of great panic, and shouted crazily:
"Quick! Turn off the nodes, they are coming! They appear! Quick!..."
Then, there was another large amount of noise, and this time Chu Yunsheng heard it. The noise seemed to be the background of the audio track that had been forcibly deleted.
After two sounds, the waves coming from the Temple of Heaven ground receded like a tide, and everything around him returned to its original state.
"What do you mean?" Chu Yunsheng was confused and asked the skeleton: "Who are "we"? Who are "them"?"
"I don't know." The ancient skeleton clucked its chin and said bluntly: "I can't hear more than you, but I have been here for who knows how many years under the orders of the Fourth Pianhu, and I probably have some of my own I can tell you what I understand. The following words are very important and are related to your life and death, so you must listen clearly."

Piaohuo has actually been filling in holes, but some of the foreshadowings are far away and easy to forget.
