C189 Kunlun Tomb
Shen Lang shifted his gaze towards the second sculpture.
The beast stood upright, six pairs of hairy wings sprouting from its shoulders to its back. It had two legs and four arms, a huge, rounded body with a bulging belly, thick legs and arms, and a single drooping mass of flesh where a head should have been.
"This is …" Berserk beast chaos? " Shen Lang blurted out.
Shen Zhan also nodded.
The third statue was shaped like a wolf, with four gigantic claws, two tails raised high, and rows of spikes hidden in its long hair at the end. Its entire body was wrapped in dense and long fur, and these long fur were like flames that rose up from the bottom, looking elegant and imposing.
The fourth, a head like that of an ox, but with exceptionally hideous mouth bared fangs, two horns on his forehead, and a body as mighty as a lion. His neck had a mane extending from his forehead to his back to his tail, forming an armor of exoskeleton. His elbows were covered with the same exoskeleton, and he had two huge wings on his back.
"So these two are Taowu and Qiong Qi …" Using statues of the four great ancient beasts to guard the cave entrance, just what kind of place is this? " Shen Lang looked at Shen Zhan with a surprised expression.
Shen Lang was born and grew up in Kunlun Ruins, but he never knew of such a place.
Shen Zhan's expression was heavy and serious, "This place is — Karakorum Tomb, where the victims are worshipped. Since the creation of the Kunlun Ruins, they have experienced countless wars with the Third Sky of Sky."
"Karakorum Tomb …" Shen Lang felt his heart ache.
Under Shen Zhan's lead, Shen Lang stepped into the cave. The moment they entered the cave, Shen Lang felt a solemn aura pouncing on them.
The moment the two walked into the cave, Shen Lang saw countless silver dots of light above his head like stars.
Under this kind of "starlight", there was a road without an end in sight. Countless densely packed stone monuments stood on both sides of the road. Because the distance between them was too far, one couldn't even see the size of the stone monuments.
Shen Lang had an illusion. He felt like he wasn't in a cave at all. He was standing on a vast piece of land with a boundless starry sky above him.
This intense visual shock could no longer be described with words.
Shen Lang swallowed his saliva and could not help but ask, "Here..." "How big is it?"
Shen Zhan said as he walked: "I don't know either, but it's been more than fifteen million years since Kunlun Ruins was created … During this period of time, the number of people who have sacrificed their Kunlun Ruins can be said to be innumerable. Although not all of the victims are sacrificed here, there should still be about seventy to eighty percent. "
"Fifteen million years!?" Shen Lang was shocked once again. "The history of mankind is this long?"
Shen Li laughed lightly: "In fact, it was even longer than that. According to the records left behind by the Kunlun Ruins, around thirty million years ago, the ancestor experts had begun their journey to open up space. Pan Gu, the most ancient god of earth-shattering in Chinese legends, was actually the leader of the three levels. Pan Gu was originally not his real name, and his real name has long been forgotten in the history of the world. "
Shen Lang said in surprise, "That is to say, the world that Great Emperor Pan Gu created, actually refers to... Three Layers Heaven World? "
Shen Zhan touched his chin and said, "Yes, before this, the world we live in has already been formed."
"And then?" Shen Lang was getting more and more curious.
"Later on …" Shen Zhan looked into the distance: "Roughly ten million years have passed since I established the third stage, which is around twenty million years ago, for the Three Layers Heaven World to officially take shape. After that, countless of people from their homeland, which was the people from the Mortal World, began to move into the third level. Then, fifteen million years ago, the relationship between the people of Three Layers Heaven World and the people of the world in their homeland collapsed. From then on, the world of the homeland was known as the Mortal World. "
Shen Lang was secretly speechless. This timeline of millions and tens of millions of years was beyond his imagination.
Shen Zhan continued:
"The Triple Layered Heavens intended to cut off the passageway to the Mortal World. In order to resist their treacherous oppression and to inherit Great Emperor Pan Gu's last wish, Great Emperor Pan Gu's daughter, Western Queen Mother, created the Kunlun Ruins fifteen million years ago."
"In the long period of time that followed, Kunlun Ruins that represents the resistance of one's Mortal World to one's will never stopped struggling against the third heaven. But just as I had told you before, the exhaustion of Mortal World has become the greatest of hard injuries, and this has resulted in almost all of the struggles to end with the failure of the Mortal World."
"However, the Kunlun Ruins has never given up either. Since the passageway was sealed by the Third Sky of Heavens, the Kunlun Ruins will smash it open once! Even if it was more difficult, and his sacrifices were even more severe than before! Even now, most people in this world no longer knew about this, but as long as one more day of Kunlun Ruins existed, they would still be able to endure for one more day. If even the Kunlun Ruins has fallen, then the passageway to the third heaven will forever be closed, and all generations of humans in the Mortal World will be trapped here, for eternity, until all resources are completely used up, and all living beings in the Mortal World are trapped until they are completely exterminated! "
As Shen Zhan said this, he unconsciously clenched his fists, and his old body straightened.
"Recent Struggle... is what you know about 2012... " Shen Zhan's voice became low and desolate: "We failed again this time. Even the people from the 3rd Sky couldn't deal with the beasts near the passage … But even so, it still has some value, do you know what it is? "
Shen Lang stopped and looked at Shen Zhan's back.
Shen Zhan turned around with a trace of helplessness on his face.
"Every time the passageway opens, the air of the third heaven would flow a little bit into the Mortal World. There's also source energy in the air of these three levels of skies. If you can open the passageway once more, you can only get a little more source energy, and this will more or less give the Mortal World some more time to continue existing. "
"According to the data analysis of the Kunlun Ruins analysts, if all the passages are sealed and are not opened from now on, then the humans of the Mortal World will only be able to exist under stable conditions for at most a hundred thousand years."
"In the end, due to the fact that humans themselves are so weakened that they are unable to promote a breakthrough in science and technology, it is impossible for them to enter the Third Heaven, nor do they have the ability to escape the Earth and find a new home in another part of the universe. This does not even take into account the huge natural disasters that could happen in the last 100,000 years, nor the many times in the history of mankind when civilization was destroyed. "
"A hundred thousand years might seem long, but the overall situation is extremely urgent!"
After hearing all of this, Shen Lang seemed to have thought of something: "Then … If it was said that humans in the Mortal World did not enter the third heaven, then as long as they opened the passageway for the two dimensional realms, then with the influx of the three heavens, wouldn't it be possible for the humans in the Mortal World as well … slowly recovering back to the state where you could gather Origin Energy to strengthen your body? "
Shen Zhan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Just by relying on the thin source energy in the air that is created by the Triple Layered Heavens, it will probably take hundreds of thousands of years for everyone in the Mortal World to have the ability to gather source energy. Furthermore, it was impossible for a person from the Third Sky to keep the passageway open for so long. Which time didn't we open it, and the person closed it again? It even became … We painstakingly opened it up, only to realize that we couldn't even defeat their giant guardian beast, and was almost destroyed by those giant beasts charging into our Mortal World. What a great irony! "
Shen Lang slightly frowned: "If we have a way to deal with these giant beasts and also can keep the three heavens and Mortal World passage open for a long time, then even if the humans don't enter the three heavens after a very long time, they should still be able to advance their technological level to the point of being able to enter the universe and migrate to other planets, right?"
Shen Zhan was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "With this kind of premise, if Mortal World's humans can migrate to other planets, then those three levels of sky could already leave the three heavens and occupy the new planet first!"
Shen Lang rubbed the back of his head and grinned: "That's true …"
Shen Zhan continued leading Shen Lang forward, saying, "Have you ever thought about why Great Emperor Pan Gu, who was stronger than tens of millions of years ago, could only open the third sky on Earth instead of looking for other habitable planets in the universe?"
Shen Lang was stumped by this question. That's right, if they can open up space, then that means their abilities and technology have reached a terrifying level. Furthermore, it took him ten million years to open up the third sky. With such a strong foundation and a long time base, why … Did you not target the other planets in the universe?
This was too strange!
