Chapter 675 Older Than Ancient
"Noah, have you figured out anything from the pattern diagram I gave you before?"
After learning about the research progress from Professor Shen, Cang Nian left the research lab.
However, after leaving the research lab, Cang Nian went directly to the control room and looked up to ask.
“I’m sorry, Master. These past few days, besides studying the formation with Professor Shen, Noah has also spent a lot of time studying these patterns on his own.”
But the result was far from ideal; Noah was unable to understand the meaning of these patterns.
All that can be determined is that this is indeed a formation, and an even more ancient one than the Dragon Palace formation.
As for what functions it could perform, Noah had no way of knowing.
In the research lab, Noah was still cooperating with Professor Shen's research. In the control room, a Noah appeared in the virtual image, reporting to Cangnian.
For Noah, which already has powerful computing capabilities, multitasking is incredibly easy.
"If we can't determine its function, how can we determine that it's more ancient than the Dragon Palace formation?"
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian was quite surprised.
On the first day of carrying out the land reclamation mission, Cangnian discovered a place that looked like a round lake, but was actually a giant deep well.
After exploring, they found nothing but the ancient and mysterious patterns at the bottom of the well.
Because he was unwilling to accept this, Cangnian took it back and gave it to Noah to study.
Cang Nian remembered that after that day, Yang Feng reported the matter, and it seemed that the higher-ups in the capital sent people to investigate several times.
In the end, no one was able to reach the bottom of the well, and the matter was left unresolved.
However, Cangnian felt that this thing must be a non-natural man-made object, and should belong to some kind of ancient ruin.
So Cangnian began to fantasize that this might be some kind of secret realm, or at the very least, a treasure trove. He thought that once he understood the patterns on it, he might be able to enter.
"Master, because I found some parts in the array patterns of the Dragon Palace that are somewhat similar to this pattern."
These similar parts belong to the lowest level of the array pattern in the Dragon Palace Formation.
Therefore, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Dragon Palace Formation evolved from this type of formation pattern.
Moreover, the time interval between the two may be very long, because the evolution of formations should be similar to the evolution of writing, both being gradual.
The two array patterns are so different that they have likely undergone countless evolutions.
Noah did not give a perfunctory answer to Cangnian's question, and explained it seriously.
"It's much older than the Dragon Palace formation..."
Having grasped the logic behind Noah's conclusion, Cang Nian couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
The Bohai Dragon Palace where Ao Tian and his companions reside is considered to be of the highest standard among this type of dragon clan inheritance!
There is even a phantom image of a blue dragon among them, used to warn future generations.
As it turns out, the ancient ruins discovered in the New Territories are even older than the Dragon Palace!
This is incredible news!
There are beings even more ancient than dragons!
"Do not tell any living beings about this for the time being, so as not to cause panic."
After thinking for a moment, Cang Nian said in a deep voice.
Ancient clues gradually surfaced, but even just the tip of the iceberg made Cang Nian feel suffocated.
The dragon race is undoubtedly on Earth's side.
Who left behind these ancient ruins?
Are they even older ancestors of Earth?
Or... an intruder?
But whichever it is, it means that the enemy is far stronger than we thought.
Admittedly, antiquity cannot be directly equated with power.
But it is ancient, yet it continues to this day, representing unimaginable strength.
Human history spans only a few thousand years, and even tracing back to ancient apes, it is at most only a few million years.
What era did the dragon race belong to?
What period does that ancient site date from?
A civilization that leaves behind ancient ruins, or even the civilization of its enemies, is a powerful symbol if it has survived to this day without being destroyed by any disaster!
What if... the strongest individuals from that era were still alive today?
Cang Nian dared not think any further.
Compared to these, the struggles in the capital city feel like child's play.
Now, Cang Nian can understand Ye Dingjiang's thoughts to some extent.
Judging from the information Ye Dingjiang revealed in the previous battles, he might also know some of those ancient messages, knowing that a powerful enemy would descend in the future.
That's why he's so conflicted.
They wanted to preserve Qu Yinmei, a promising candidate among human evolvers.
They didn't want to kill themselves, a creature with similar potential for evolution.
He could only forcefully separate the man and the tiger in the middle, hoping to preserve the two potential seeds so that they would have more strength to resist when a powerful enemy came in the future.
However, despite his understanding, Cang Nian would not give up on killing Qu Yinmei.
Because of the superpower "Beast Tamer," wanting to enslave oneself is perfectly reasonable.
But he couldn't beat himself and was saved by Song Zhiyuan. Instead, he harbored resentment towards him and used Er Mihu to take revenge, which touched Cang Nian's sore spot.
To be honest, Cangnian and Ermihu weren't very familiar with each other.
Because he was an orphan in his previous life, his social circle in this life is only so small.
Aside from his family of five, Little Sable, Little Ferret, Black King Snake, Big White, Yichen, Pipi, Qin Changyi, Bai Jue, and Bai Jin, he had virtually no interaction with other people or other evolved creatures.
But since they have been companions who have gone through so much hardship together, even though they rarely communicate verbally, they have long since become inseparable companions.
Cang Nian even hoped that Qu Yinmei had only enslaved Er Mihu, and given Ye Dingjiang's attitude, he might not even need to fight to bring Er Mihu back.
As for whether they can be saved, it depends on whether Qu Yinmei can retain her own intelligence when enslaving the evolved creatures.
However, judging from Zeus's final act of saving his master, he might actually have retained his intelligence.
Unfortunately, Qu Yinmei went mad for some reason. Even though she was bound to be suspected no matter what, she didn't enslave Er Mihu. Instead, she let the lion Zeus eat Er Mihu, completely eliminating any possibility of saving him.
Similarly, this completely eliminates any possibility of reconciliation between the two sides.
After some thought, Cang Nian felt a renewed sense of urgency.
I must become strong as soon as possible!
What happened in the capital was just a small skirmish; the strength of future enemies is suffocating.
"Noah, where is my brother now?"
Thinking of this, Cang Nian looked up and asked.
"Reporting to Master, Cangcheng is currently waiting for his meal outside the communal kitchen."
Noah responded.
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian nodded and headed straight for the communal kitchen.
You can't use spiritual power for now, but you can still train your system skills!
Before Tiger Girl evolves to the fifth rank and before the sealing energy in her Qi Sea dissipates, he must become self-disciplined and devote himself wholeheartedly to becoming stronger!
