Chapter 365 353 Kingdom of God

"You have all taken the Dragon Literature class. Can you at least recognize some of the hieroglyphics inscribed on that high tower?" Mai Shutoku was actually the calmest of the three at this moment. It was obvious that before entering the abyss, this leg The girl who has lived longer than her life already knows what she is about to face.

"As Caesar said, this is indeed Gao Tianyuan." Chu Zihang nodded.

After experiencing the initial panic, the killers in the team quickly calmed down.

If this city was really alive, its heart would have been pumping for infinite time.

It makes no sense that this kind of ghost thing that cannot be explained by common sense just happened to wake up when the Dirieste dived here.

It is not impossible to say that the deep submersible woke it up. However, given that the coverage area of ​​this city's ruins is close to that of a first-class international metropolis, the Dieste is simply an insignificant worm compared to it. Come to think of it, Their chances of waking the monster from its slumber were close to zero.

"Takamagahara is the place where the gods in Japanese mythology gather. We native mixed-breeds did think that it was actually hidden in the Nibelung roots forged by the White King." Mai Shutoku picked up the camera and pointed the lens at Di Every building the Trieste passed by recorded all the reliefs of ghosts and gods on the bronze and steel facades.

She said quietly, "But now we actually found the ruins of Takamagahara on the seabed at a depth of 8,600 meters... How ridiculous."

"The mainstream view among historians is that the prototype of Takamagahara is the ancient Japanese territory, but some people describe Japan on earth as a paradise where gods gather together." Chu Zihang frowned and said, "But as far as I know, until Before you sent envoys to China to study, most of the people in this country were still running around wearing only loincloths.”

"I don't know why I think you're a little rude..."

"Sorry, no offense intended." Chu Zihang apologized naturally, but there was no trace of shame in this guy's expression and look that had not changed at all.

Come to think of it, the face-pleasure brother is also a hidden angry young man.

"In short, there is a big difference between the history recorded by mixed races and the history recorded by ordinary people. Ordinary people found no evidence of the existence of Takamagahara from the clues of time, so they concluded that it was actually the name of their country by the ancient Japanese. The mixed race looked back from a higher position, so the Snake Qihachi family believed that the so-called Gao Tianyuan was actually a magnificent Nibelung." Caesar smoothed things over.

After all, they are grasshoppers on the same boat now. If they really fight, even if the two of them subdue Chu Zihang in an instant, this guy's Junyan may still pose a huge threat to the Ditryste.

Sure enough, the men of the Gattuso family are all small-headed men who control the big head, and mavericks like Caesar are no exception.

It is said that women are like clothes and brothers are like brothers. It is probably because this dress is not gorgeous enough to match the style of his young master Gattuso. For someone like the ninja lady in front of him, Caesar feels that he has something to say.

"The fact is that Gao Tianyuan is neither the Nibelungen nor ancient Japan, but a city that really exists in the present world!" Chu Zihang didn't notice the words in Caesar's words. He only wanted to cover the entire Gao Tianyuan with the camera on his shoulder. Pack them all up and take them back.

His and Mai Shutoku's actions were quite consistent, and it was obvious that both of them were tasked with investigating Jiyuan.

"But it appears deep in the trench. This is impossible. Even a dragon would not build a giant metal city in highly corrosive seawater without hesitation." Caesar said, he thought for a while, "Although So far we haven’t seen much signs of weathering or rust on the building.”

Indeed, the Trieste had been cruising among the building spiers of Takamagahara for more than twenty minutes, but almost all the signs of damage they saw were left by lava.

"There is no evidence that dragons are purely marine intelligent species." Chu Zihang said.

It is almost impossible for intelligent creatures to be born in water, because even if there are things like water monkeys, they will not be able to transition the use of energy from geothermal energy to chemical energy and electrical energy.

"That is to say, this city may have existed on land." There is no doubt that Caesar can keep up with Chu Zihang's thinking. They have always been evenly matched opponents.

"The crust of Japan is very fragile. Takamagahara may have once been a city sitting on the ground, but it sank to the bottom of the sea due to violent changes in the crust!"

At this time, they were passing through a huge torii gate. The height of the torii gate exceeded the level of confidentiality. The color of the bronze reflected the brilliant molten light, so the torii gate seemed to be covered with a thin light curtain.

Countless black iron chains hang down from the torii, and countless metal wind chimes hang on the ends of these chains. When the Diriaste moves carefully through them, it looks like a knight carefully walking through it. Dark forest.

Who knows what is hidden in the forest, it may be Little Red Riding Hood who brings snacks to grandma, it may be the dwarf who kidnapped the princess, or it may be something like a vampire or a werewolf.

"Looking at the structure of this city, it is indeed more like the style on land." Chu Zihang nodded.

"Have you ever seen the buildings of underwater creatures?" Caesar teased.

"No, but at least we can be sure that they don't need roads." Chu Zihang said expressionlessly.

"But if this city... let's temporarily admit that it is really Takamagahara in Japanese mythology, then it must have a history of millions of years, because judging from the changes in the earth's crust in the past million years, the Eurasian plate has not There could be such a big change that the whole city would be plunged into the sea.”

Everyone fell silent.

They imagined that some kind of huge disaster would befall this glorious city a million years ago, sinking it and the entire land into the sea, and then Takamagahara would be slowly dragged into the depths of the trench due to the movement of the earth's crust. .

This process is so long that human life and even the life of dragons seem so short in front of it.

But now Gao Tianyuan is very close to the crack in the earth's crust. Obviously this is the end of this city's life. Whatever is buried underneath it will eventually be swallowed by the planet, and eventually even the ashes will be burned.

"This will refresh our understanding of the history of the Dragon Clan." Caesar said softly, "No one has ever told me that the Age of Gods was actually a million years ago."

The first dragon that appeared in human history recorded in the textbooks of Kassel College was 5,100 years ago. A pure-blooded dragon named Menes unified Egypt with a human body and started the era of pharaoh rule.

Some scholars believe that Menes is an ancient dragon created by the Black King. Although it is not the first generation species like the four monarchs, it is still superior to the second generation species.

There is also evidence that Menes belonged to an organization that shared power with kings in the age of the gods——

Presbyterian Church.

It is unimaginable that the dragons could have built such a great city a million years ago. "The Fragment of Ice Sea" records that the dragons once built copper pillars that reached the sky on the earth, and built the city with the copper pillars as the center. During the heyday of the Black King and the White King's joint rule, dragons even built wide roads across the ocean, achieving unprecedented peace. All kings surrendered under the rule of the two kings in accordance with etiquette.

Because the remains of those cross-sea roads with a width of fifty kilometers have never been found, the academic community has always been conservative about the records of these scrolls.

But now I think about it, maybe it was too long ago and all traces have been erased by the years.

"How is it possible? A million years ago, Chu Zihang, your ancestor was a Yuanmou man who didn't even wear pants, and Mr. Caesar Gattuso, your ancestor might still be crawling around in that corner of Africa." Mai Shutoku shrugged, "Moreover, Takamagahara appears in Japanese mythology. Can our history span millions of years? You must know that the first batch of Japanese came from China and the Korean Peninsula."

"Then how should we explain..."

"Word Spirit." Mai Shutoku said coldly, "Someone destroyed Takamagahara and plunged it into the trench. The person or thing who used the Word Spirit does not want anything like White King to appear in this world."

Caesar and Chu Zihang shuddered at the same time.

Compared with Gao Tianyuan's millions of years of history, it's hard to say whether Mai Shutoku's guess is more friendly to them.

A word spirit that can destroy Takamagahara can also destroy Chicago or Rome. This kind of thing is no less than a large-yield nuclear bomb explosion.

Could it be the Shiva Karma Dance or the Candle Dragon?

And the one who uses that word spirit... is probably the Black King, right?

Thinking that the end of all mystery, majesty and fear, the emperor who overlooked all living beings under the throne, had unleashed his wrath here, it was difficult for anyone to say anything.

Takamagahara is still endless, and it seems that you can never see the edge when you look at it. It is shrouded in the brilliance of the long river of lava. Half of the city has sunk into the cracks, but there are still some towering buildings that look like spears used by giants. In that way, it is tempered in the magma without being melted, and it points overwhelmingly to the sea.

They are towering copper pillars one after another, just in the southwest of the city, like a forest of steles composed of hundreds or thousands of copper pillars.

They are so huge, majestic, and full of ancient cruelty.

When he got closer, the Trieste passed over the forest of steles, and Caesar could see clearly what was on it.

He looked at Chu Zihang. Chu Zihang's brows were almost knitted together, and his golden eyes that had never been extinguished were staring at everything below the Diriaste with a bright golden light.

"The execution pillar, that's the execution pillar of Takamagahara!" Mai Shutoku whispered.

On the top of each copper pillar, a lizard bone was nailed to it with a long metal nail. The lizard bone was huge, and its wings hung lifelessly. The skull looked like it was made of bronze, and the sunset-like firelight reflected them. Very deep shadows are left in the very deep eye sockets.

When this city was still ruled by the White King, dragons who disobeyed her were crucified here.

The dragon's vitality is very tenacious. Even if all the bones in the body are broken, even if it does not eat or drink, it can still live on the copper pillar for many years.

They lingered for breath, and the wailing soundfire spread to all directions of the city along the dozens of meters wide Shinto, so all the ministers who had disobedience to the white emperor knelt down in fear and buried their heads in the sand.

"As expected, dragons are a cruel and crazy race. They don't take their own kind seriously. Even if the population base of the race is incredibly low, they will still use this cruel punishment to kill hundreds of thousands of their companions." Caesar said quietly.

Mai Shutoku laughed coldly.

Caesar looked a little annoyed, his bare upper body and chest muscles trembled, and turned around to glare at Shutoku Mai.

"Never think you have seen through the dragon race." Jiude Mai said, she knocked on the observation window beside her, "Look over there, that thing should not belong to this city, right?"

Caesar's eyes turned when he heard her say that.

The thing was hidden in the huge shadow of the Torii, southeast of the Trieste, at the edge of the stele forest.

This city, which is almost entirely made of metal, still exudes an ancient and gorgeous luster after countless years, especially under the light of the lava, it is like an ancient bronze ware illuminated by a spotlight.

But that huge thing is not, it is vaguely white, regular in shape, and visually more than 100 meters long.

It is like a strange mountain rising from the ground, covered with dense and creepy shells and conchs on the surface. Those shells and snails are wriggling on the surface of the building, and from a distance they look like rust soaked in sea water.

Chu Zihang and Caesar could easily see the shellfish drilling in and out of the cracks in the building, which looked like dense maggots crawling on the giant's body.

There was a deep shadow behind the thing, extending from its bottom to hundreds of meters away.

"It's a scratch. It seems to have rushed into the city at a very high speed, leaving a huge mark on the rock layer and sliding into this execution ground." Jiude Mai said,

"Do you feel that it's not as hot as before?"

Chu Zihang and Caesar were both stunned. At this moment, they did realize that the temperature did not seem to be as hot as before, and even a little cold.

"Let's move over there first." Chu Zihang said.

Jiude Mai looked at him strangely and said nothing, but the knife in his hand was tightened silently.

"The power is a bit insufficient. We seem to have entered an undercurrent with a fast flow, pushing us back." Caesar said while adjusting the propeller, and the old machine made a creepy sound.

It was like countless gears meshing together and running.

"How could there be undercurrents in such a place?" Chu Zihang frowned.

Encountering undercurrents during deep diving is as common as airplanes encountering unstable air currents.

Undercurrents are formed when the temperature distribution in the deep seawater is uneven. Marine organisms are good at using these undercurrents to move at high speed, but human eyes cannot see them, just like people cannot see the wind.

Undercurrents may be vertical or horizontal. They are like invisible spider webs in the ocean. Some submersibles will lose contact with the ground when they are entangled.

"The temperature outside has dropped, only Celsius... Damn, 9 degrees!" Caesar roared as if he suddenly woke up.

Chu Zihang also seemed to wake up from a dream and immediately went to check the thermometer.

It showed that the temperature outside the submersible suddenly dropped to 5 degrees, while three minutes ago they were still in the sea water with a temperature of more than 100 degrees Celsius!

Such a temperature difference is too abnormal, unless, unless...

"Professor Schneider told us to be careful of the door. Look at the torii gate that the Trieste just passed by. Does it look like a door?"

Caesar said faintly,

"A... Nibelungen Gate!" (End of this chapter)
