Chapter 857: Chapter 577: Golden Bronze Civilization and Forbidden Object_4

“What does this mean? What is the Golden Bronze Civilization trying to tell me? Could this be the flesh of ancient monsters from the First Epoch? Slightly weaker than the [Ghost], but possesses wisdom?”

Lu Yuan was faintly puzzled; he mentally conjured up an enemy.

The First Epoch must have held significant secrets; since some “myths” turned into irrational [Ghosts], perhaps other myths transformed into something else.

For example, a rational [Ghost]!

That would undoubtedly be more terrifying than the [Ghost], almost impossible to defeat.

Yet the strength of this piece of flesh was far from the formidable power he imagined…

It wasn’t arrogance on his part; as a battle-hardened warrior, he still possessed that level of discernment. The instrument in his hand also confirmed this.

“Hmm? Are these images engraved with engravings?”

Lu Yuan examined the mysterious patterns within the crystal coffin: strange and peculiar things appeared on the earth and the starry sky, in centipede shapes, Pangu shapes, and various irregular lumps, looking like cancerous tumors in their late stages.

Yet a large group of races was scrambling for these things–Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes; this imagery was somewhat abstract, causing him to feel a subtle suspicion.

Meanwhile, the floating cities in the sky were firing upon each other, even beginning to annihilate the major races on the ground.

Behind the sky, a vague colossal presence was concealed…

Chaos, anomaly, fear.

The devastation of the epoch’s end was displayed before Lu Yuan’s eyes.

…

Something even more deceitful occurred!

Seemingly aware of his gaze, that writhing flesh began to crawl slowly toward Lu Yuan like a snail!

For some unknown reason, although the thing was not strong and its crawling speed was not quick, it inexplicably filled Lu Yuan with fear, as if a sheep encountering a tiger, instantly making cold sweat break out on his forehead.

The whispering whispers crept into his mind.

It felt as though a powerful presence was searching for him.

“Damn, I’ve learned too much this time.” Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and used [Different Space] to protect himself.

Immediately, the moment that chunk of flesh touched a certain engraving!

A faint blue flame abruptly appeared within the crystal coffin!

This flame was extremely hot, instantly erupting at a temperature of tens of thousands of degrees!

“Boom!”

In just a second, it incinerated the fist-sized flesh into char, reduced to the most basic fly ash.

Nothing happened in the meantime, also confirming that Lu Yuan’s judgment was correct–the strength of this thing was indeed not high.

And the engraved illustrations were completely burned away, no longer in existence.

“What happened?”

“This must be a deliberately set mechanism… to prevent me from fully triggering certain dangerous forbidden information.”

Lu Yuan swallowed his saliva, and the air fell into silence.

But he dared not release Different Space, racking his brains in thought: “The strength of a thing isn’t considered too high, yet it could destroy an epoch on the Pangu Continent… What exactly are those cancer-like objects?”

“And where does the forbidden information come from? Why would infringing upon forbidden information cause the [Ghost] to hunt me?”

Looking around, he found nothing in the surroundings; the walls bore no additional paintings.

The entire small room contained only this lump that had turned into dust.

There was no one to discuss with, so he had to think for himself.

“The Golden Bronze Civilization likely destroyed this piece of flesh deliberately to show me. Just to indicate that this enemy might be widespread, and it wasn’t the [Ghost] that destroyed the world.”
