Chapter 240 The Truth

With a flash of arcane sparks, Carmel turned around and quietly watched the nearly 1,000 seats in the hall, as well as the 972 former colleagues who had fallen asleep.

"A thousand years... A thousand years ago, I was one of the research fellows of the Imperial Royal Magisters, and a secret order personally issued by His Majesty the Emperor transferred me from the imperial capital to this fortress on the northern frontier. When I saw it, I was as surprised as you are now.

"The Empire secretly built this facility, and the plan started as early as 1,200 years ago. Yes, as you just said, we are to resist the tide - the royal family has long ago Aware of the approaching tide of magic, and has been looking for a solution, this is a huge and secret plan, the royal family and the entire magister group are involved in it, but very few people really know the full picture of the plan, even as the royal magister group. Researcher Xi, I can only know the part I am responsible for in this plan.

"My task is to analyze the power of the gods and find a way to combine the genetic factors of the gods with human cells...

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

"When I came to this fortress, the plan had been running for two hundred years. We found the exact location of 'White Star Fall'. It is not in the present world, but needs to pass through the shadow world and reach the edge of the shadow world. , so we built a space gate at the bottom of the 'disobedient' fortress. This space gate used the power of the gods to break through the barriers between several 'layers', and the exploration team brought back the god of nature from there. Flesh samples..."

While talking, Carmel raised the arm condensed from arcane energy and pointed to the wall. With a small spark jumping, a hidden isolation door suddenly appeared on the originally integrated wall. The isolation door With the creaking sound of the mechanical operation slowly opening, Carmel slowly floated towards the door: "Please come with me, I hope you can stay calm no matter what you see."

Gawain and Hetty looked at each other and followed Carmel's footsteps.

"We paid a huge price, mortals have direct contact with the flesh and blood of gods, and even looking directly at the flesh and blood is enough to kill, not to mention extracting energy and genetic factors from it, but we have found some corpses in the shadow world." mix' things together,

That thing helped us find a way to defend against divine erosion... albeit only partially. "

Following behind Carmel, Gawain saw the hidden rooms and the secrets that still remained in the rooms.

In a laboratory, he saw chunks of metal and crystal wreckage bound and sealed by a complex magic circle that seemed to have been ripped from some larger man-made object, even after I don't know how many years have passed, but they still maintain a new texture.

"Their material..." Gawain looked at the metal and crystal fragments with a serious expression, "It seems to be the same as the Eternal Slate?"

Carmel nodded: "Yes, exactly the same, these things are with the corpses of the gods, and it even seems that they caused the fall of the gods - but we don't know the real connection between the Eternal Slate and these things."

Gawain's heart moved, he had vaguely guessed the truth, but he didn't say anything.

And Carmel passed through the room and continued to float 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 tide, and the only thing that allows humans to survive the tide. The only way is to change our life form. After decades of research, the pioneers have found a way to extract energy from the flesh and blood of the gods, and the team I lead has gone a step further: injecting the genetic factors of the gods human cells, thereby changing the essence of human beings in the basic biological structure.

"Through this method, human beings may carry those 'powers of gods', even if it is only a weak force, it can bring hope of resisting the tide of magic. In the 'outside' laboratory, I cultivated the first phase , I named it 'God's Sin'..."

"I see..." Gao Wen muttered in a low voice.

Carmel didn't hear: "What?"

"No, it doesn't matter," Gawain looked at the ancient mana spirit, "And then what? God's evil succeeded?"

"Finally successful, we have created a stable genetic factor that can be safely combined with human cells and passed on from generation to generation. Humans who carry the genetic factor will not die like the first issue of 'God's Sin' Because of the malignant mutation, it can produce beneficial fast mutation when the magic tide comes, mutate and adapt to the new environment in the magic tide before the body dies... Theoretically, this is the case."

Carmel took Gawain and his party to the next room. Here, they saw the neatly arranged culture containers. Those culture containers were well preserved. In the translucent biomass solution, human samples from different periods were soaked. ——The initial samples were huge corpses with swollen bodies and distorted crystals spreading out on their surfaces, but the conditions of these samples became more stable as time went on. In the final container, they were almost a healthy human being.

"You said this is the case in theory?" Gawain looked at Carmel who was floating in front of him, and had a faint conjecture in his heart, "You haven't tested?"

"Can't test," Carmel stopped, "all the information about the magic tide can only be simulated, we use the deep blue well to simulate, but what the real magic tide is... Probably only the gods know, but we But it is against the gods."

After saying this, the ancient mana spirit continued to walk forward with everyone, and Gawain noticed that they were moving towards the upper level: there is still a third level in this facility.

"The mission of this facility is over after the final God's Sin is completed, the personnel are evacuated, and the materials and samples are sent back to the imperial capital, but not everyone has been evacuated," Carmel's voice echoed in the empty corridor As empty as the undead, "We are not sure whether the evil spirits can really fight against the tide of evil, and we are not sure whether there will be new disasters to destroy mankind, so a group of people were selected as 'seeds', the seeds They are sealed in the deepest part of this facility, in a different space isolated from the present world, if the 'outside world' is really destroyed, then at least we have left a last ray of hope for mankind."

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

"No, there are more than a few hundred of us," Carmel seemed to smile, but all his expressions were mixed in the chaotic arcane sparks, and he stopped in front of a door at the end of the corridor, "This Behind the door is the Hall of Silence, which used to be 60,000 people."

"Sixty thousand?!" Heidi's eyes widened, but then she realized the key point in Kamel's words, "You said...original?"

"Yes, originally."

Carmel opened the door, and as the heavy and ancient isolation door slowly opened, the scene in the stagnant hall was presented to everyone.

Everyone was speechless in amazement.

Behind the gate is a fragmented space, there is no stagnation hall at all, and there are no 60,000 "seeds" for rebuilding civilization - a kind of crazy darkness shrouded outside, huge space cracks and violent energy turbulence raging in the distance, entering. The only sights are the rubble floating in the air, the broken wreckage, and the chaotic shadow, while a small piece of ground, a few torn walls, and a dome are the only remaining traces of the stagnant hall.

It was as if a wild storm had struck here, completely tearing and devouring the Hall of Stasis.

This is a desperate scene, but Carmel has calmly accepted this fact many years ago. He just closed the floodgate quietly, took everyone to the other direction, and slowly told what happened that year. Come out: "We made a fatal mistake...Even if we hide here, we can't escape the tide.

"The magic tide attacked the shelter and caused a chain reaction of space collapse. Except for a small part of the facility, everything was destroyed by the energy tide and space storm. Sixty thousand people disappeared silently and survived. The only 'watchers' located in the center of the facility.

"Watchers are watchmen who stay voluntarily. We sleep in a small stasis hall, and wake up every twenty years to check the situation in the stasis hall and receive the latest updates from the communication hall. News - we slept again and again, woke up again and again, and watched 60,000 people lying unconscious in the hall of stasis, and in the hall of communication was the news that everything was good for the Empire.

"You can't imagine what it feels like... In the first hundred years of the facility's closure, the last person we knew in the outside world passed away, in the one hundred and sixty years, the magic tide has not yet been born, the empire Still prosperous, we even began to doubt the necessity and significance of this plan, maybe the magic tide will not come at all, we more than 900 volunteers and 60,000 'seeds' are just anxiously worried about a ridiculous doomsday prophecy, We have spent our entire lives for this illusory doomsday panic, but we still faithfully carried out the order and fulfilled the oath we made back then. In the 240th year when the facility was closed, some people couldn’t hold it any longer. A small-scale internal conflict broke out, and someone was going to open the door from the inside, but in the end, the great magister Wigmar took control of the situation, and then..."

Carmel was silent for a long time before his voice sounded in a low voice: "We woke up in a shrill alarm, and in the chaos, we received information that the fort was severely damaged. In the communication hall, we saw His Majesty the Emperor. The last message to come, we are the last survivors - the necessity and significance of this plan has finally been confirmed, but everything has not worked out as we expected.

"The hall of stasis was destroyed, two-thirds of the entire facility disappeared in the storm, and the magic leading to the present world was also closed due to the influence of the magic tide. Even if the magic door is not closed, we can't leave here-- The outside world can no longer survive, and the only thing that can allow us to survive is this place.

"We've been through chaos, we've been through despair, we've been through hysteria and even violence, but in the end, we decided to live."
