Chapter 7: Only One Question (New Book, Please Collect, Recommend, and Invest!)

Tang Xuan threw his schoolbag on the bed, picked up the game board on the table and pulled it to both sides.

Click——

Between the two long metal strips, a dark virtual screen slowly appeared.

Small golden words: "The charging progress is less than 30%, and the new game cannot be started. Please wait patiently."

Tang Xuan shook his head: "I'm not here to play games. I want to ask you, why did [Extreme Ancient] appear in the history of the real world?"

The small golden words slowly typed a question mark.

Tang Xuan frowned: "Don't play dumb."

The small golden words slowly output: "Play dumb. You have played this machine for more than three hours, and you have also received [Common Language] and [Micro Stamina]. Don't you realize that this machine is different?"

Tang Xuan was stunned for a moment.

The small golden words continued: "I suggest you go online and search for an ancient god inscription to take a look."

Tang Xuan's eyebrows jumped twice fiercely.

Ancient God Inscriptions are a special type of inscription often found in ancient god ruins. This type of text engraved on the inscription by ancient humans or ancient gods is completely different from modern text. It contains rules for creating characters that are difficult for humans to understand. The top scholars of linguistics in the Federation have only deciphered 23 ancient god inscriptions so far.

Tang Xuan turned around and called softly: "Search for ancient god inscriptions."

As soon as the words fell, the wall he was facing quickly faded from the comfortable beige color to a deep black.

A search box appeared in the center of the wall.

Ancient God Inscriptions - Search

The information flow fell like a waterfall. After a few seconds, the information flow froze, and regular search results appeared on the wall.

Tang Xuan tapped in the air.

A photo in the corner was enlarged, and there was an ancient stone tablet in the photo.

Tang Xuan stared at the stone tablet and read it word by word: "In 25466, the ancient god [Morotig] at the border of the North Star Region led his people to invade and fought fiercely with our god [Aslinton]. The war lasted for 1,281 years, destroying more than 300,000 stars. Both sides were injured and fell into a deep sleep. After that, we continued to fight for our god [Aslinton], almost exterminated our race, and spent 3,527 years to finally annihilate all the followers of [Morotig] and cut off the possibility of his revival. I specially erected a monument to commemorate it. - Kang."

Tang Xuan stared blankly at the stone tablet in the photo. He was sure that he had never come into contact with the words on the stone tablet in the photo at any time, but he knew these words.

Tang Xuan's voice trembled slightly: "The inscription on the ancient god's tablet is [Common Language]?"

The task reward was actually given to him!

Small golden words: "[Common Language] was created by several first-generation ancient gods including [Ji Gu], and is mastered by most ancient gods. It is the language of the ancient gods, and later disappeared with the end of the ancient god era."

Tang Xuan pulled off a hair and asked: "What are you? How much is the relationship between the ancient god [Ji Gu] and me? Are the ancient gods really as powerful as described in the inscription? Why did their era end?"

Tang Xuan's head is full of question marks now.

Small golden words slowly replied: "I can only answer two of your four questions. The relationship between [Ji Gu] and you is similar to that of a clone, but it is not an ordinary clone. The ancient gods in the past were even better than the description in the inscription. The gap between [Morotig] and [Aslington] and the top ancient gods is as big as that between them and ordinary humans. The other two questions are secrets in the void, which are not for you at this level to explore, so please forgive me for not being able to tell you."

What is the relationship between a clone and not a clone? How did the gap between ancient gods widen? Will you die if you listen to the secrets in the void?

After the golden words answered, Tang Xuan had more questions in his mind. If he was a game character, his question mark should have covered him.

Golden words: "Due to the restrictions of the game rules, I can't tell you too much. Before you complete the next game, you can ask one more question. Think about it before asking."

Tang Xuan took a deep breath.

He now has no less than twenty questions.

If he can only ask one.

Tang Xuan said in a deep voice: "What will happen next?"

Golden words: "A very smart question. Starting from 8024 of the new calendar, the ancient gods who have collectively fallen into a deep sleep due to a major event will wake up one after another, and the frequency will become higher and higher, from one per year to one per half a year, and then to one per month, and even every day. Almost all ancient gods have deep-rooted prejudices against humans, and they will do everything they can to enslave humans again."

Tang Xuan's heart sank.

Is this the future direction?

Those ancient gods can easily destroy hundreds of thousands of stars, and the federal army is no match for them. Is human civilization coming to an end?

Small golden words: "They have lost everything, and humans are fully capable of killing them. This will be a long war with almost equal strength, and you are the key to deciding where the balance of victory will tilt."

Buzz——

The screen vibrated and then went out. A lightning symbol representing charging appeared in the upper right corner, and there was a number below the symbol: 21%. When this number reaches 100%, Tang Xuan can start a new game, but he will definitely not be as relaxed as the first time he played.

Tang Xuan frowned.

He did not question what the small golden words told him, because he did obtain the [Common Language] and could freely read the ancient god inscriptions that had only been deciphered by human scholars for 23 times.

This matter cannot be faked.

He was worried about the future.

As far as he knows, the most powerful weapon currently available to humans can only destroy one star, and its production is restricted, with a total reserve of no more than 3,000 in the entire federation.

However, those ancient gods are monsters that can destroy 300,000 stars, and ancient gods at this level are not the strongest. Tang Xuan can be sure that even if the ancient gods only have one ten-thousandth of their power left, it will be enough to defeat the federation's army.

Tang Xuan can only hope that they are weaker, such as only one billionth of their power left, otherwise this cannot be called a "nearly evenly matched" war.

Tang Xuan said to the wall: "Search for jobs related to ancient gods, keyword: fresh graduates."

The first few items in the search bar are advertisements, and the side is a hot event. At this time, the top one is a message called "Old God Mother Chili Sauce Gets a Ten Million-level Advertising Marketing for Free".

Tang Xuan swiped his finger in the air, flipped through seven or eight pages, and finally found the job he wanted.

Researcher at the Institute of Ancient Gods of the Federal Academy of Sciences!

Tang Xuan clicked in to see the details.

Every year, the Federal Academy of Sciences recruits new researchers from all graduates in the Federation to add fresh blood to scientific research.

The Ancient God Institute is a relatively unpopular institute among the many institutes under the Federal Academy of Sciences. The researchers at the Ancient God Institute have low salaries, boring work, and narrow promotion channels. The entry requirements are as stringent as those of other institutes, and it takes several years to recruit one person.

Yesterday afternoon, I received a short message from the signing station. Everyone can invest with confidence. Thank you! If you invest more than 100 people, my book will have a small recommendation position.
