Chapter 856: Chapter 577: Golden Bronze Civilization and Forbidden Object_3

At first glance, there might be as many as ten thousand!

These figures have various functions; some hold hammers and drills, indicating they are tool types; others wield rune rifles and cannons; and some even carry cold weapons and shields.

This silent army, traversing an epoch of time, still emanates a striking power, as if reminding future generations, beneath the dust of history, to remember our existence.

At the forefront, there is a spherical device with a diameter of five meters, which should be the central control unit for these Giant Divine Weapons.

“This is quite a valuable treasure.”

“It’s a pity it’s not of much use to me; let humanity and the dwarves have it.”

Lu Yuan did not rashly touch these robots and continued walking inward.

In the next room, there were more than two-meter-tall cabinets and bookshelves.

Lu Yuan casually picked a book and read it for a while, which was filled with various cartoon illustrations, possibly a fairy tale book from the “Golden Bronze Civilization.”

[“Mommy, Mommy, the Sun is rising!” A little dwarf rabbit hopped over to her mother, her furry ears twitching.”]

[The rabbit mother was organizing carrots in the storage room; hearing Huihui’s voice, she turned around with a smile: “We must hurry to pick mushrooms.”]

[…]

Lu Yuan couldn’t quite understand the text, so he guessed a story from the pictures.

A faint sadness rose from his heart.

An already declining civilization desperately tried to preserve its culture, struggling and striving.

Just like a drowning person, trying his best to surface, not shouting “help,” but his own name, hoping others remember him.

Yet, how many scholars in future civilizations are willing to truly understand them?

Most relics of civilization, even the walls have been stripped, turned into materials for engravings.

What famous sites, historical anecdotes, all turned to dust.

“The only one who can remember oneself, is oneself…”

Lu Yuan looked for a while, then put the book down.

He looked at the chassis made of Black Iron and Titanium Alloy.

Somewhere in these cabinets, there might be Fourth-level Civilization Ideal Technology, but still of little use to Lu Yuan.

Fourth-level Technology generally requires substantial heavy industry support, fundamentally different from the craftsman’s path.

“Well, let humanity benefit from it; once they are capable, they can retrieve it later.”

Unexpectedly, he didn’t find a treasure trove.

It might be because it was too urgent at the time, leaving only these few things from the Golden Bronze Civilization…

After exploring for a long time, Lu Yuan discovered a single room, but this door was incredibly exquisite, surprisingly a Legendary Extraordinary Item!

[Gate of Refined Gold, Legendary level.]

[Used a large amount of refined gold material, a door capable of blocking both physical detection and ideal detection.]

There was no lock mechanism at all.

On the metal plaque near the door, a line of intricate text was inscribed.

Lu Yuan took out a monitoring device and sent the image back.

Miss Conch translated: [Contains forbidden information; opening the door requires a large amount of acidic liquid, and years of corrosion.]

[Opening this door requires caution; the more you know, the more dangerous it becomes.]

This meant the civilization directly welded the door shut, thinking twice necessary before opening it.

However, this didn’t stop Lu Yuan; he took a deep breath and knocked a few times gently.

Then with the Eternal Spark, he slipped through the gap to feel the thickness of the door.

“Approximately 22 centimeters in thickness.”

Promptly, with a soft “whoosh,” he instantly teleported through.

What greeted him was a dark small room.

With the Eternal Spark enveloping his entire body, the room was illuminated in a red glow.

“Whew… What is this…”

Lu Yuan’s eyes widened, his heart suddenly contracting, as he saw a crystal coffin.

Inside lay a piece of dark red flesh, emitting a forbidden and ominous aura, an uncanny sensation colder than even the Sea of Liquid Nitrogen outside.

In this moment, he felt an overdue fear.

It was fear of an unknown fate.

A secret he had been pursuing for a long time hidden ahead…

He feared he couldn’t defeat this opponent.

Worried that it might all be in vain; even more worried that humanity might suffer the same fate…

Thus, all sorts of complex emotions surged forth, causing his mind to buzz for a moment.

“Don’t be nervous…” Fortunately, he was an experienced warrior, biting his tongue sharply, as the pungency calmed him slightly.

This strange dark red flesh, enduring all these years, still possessed life force.

Constantly wriggling, the countless threads of blood vessels extending outward, like the tentacles of a snail.

The inscriptions covering the crystal coffin were dense and tiny, like ants crawling chaotically.

“What is this? Doesn’t seem like flesh from a [Ghost]… Some kind of forbidden product?” Lu Yuan, undaunted by his skills, calmed himself and watched for a while.

He wanted to report his safety to Miss Conch but realized both telepathy and his monitoring equipment were blocked by the Legendary door.

So he could only scrutinize it through the crystal coffin, while taking out several instruments to measure.

“The ideal energy density of this piece of flesh is not high, only the life force is very resilient, seems somewhat like… King’s Yeast?”

“If it were blasted into flesh, maybe it couldn’t regenerate like a [Ghost]… No unique Ideal Rules perceived.”
