Chapter 42: Symbols of Time
Under Bai Ye’s guidance, the girls walked towards the excavated ruins district.
Along the way, they could see various kinds of equipment… some were used to react to shields, and some were used to detect substances. However, at the moment, they were all placed haphazardly in the passageway, looking as if something urgent had happened and they were temporarily put aside.
…
“Ahead, is this the interior of the ruins?”
“Yes, according to Vice Admiral Saimang’s records, the ruins’ shield disappeared a week ago… and after that, it was the voice recording that we read.”
“Alright, let’s continue forward.”
…
Although Lonis had imagined whether alien ruins would be very magical before approaching them.
However, after entering, she felt a little disappointed—because this ruin did not have any traces of special creations, and not even some special metals could be seen.
The passage leading to the core was almost empty on both sides, with nothing but meaningless lines carved on the walls.
Even Isumi could not decipher the information on them.
“No… I can’t even tell if these carvings are text or symbols, it’s impossible to tell at the moment.”
“Damaged so thoroughly?”
“Yes, but I think instead of saying it’s damaged, it’s more like someone deliberately encrypted it?”
“Encrypted?”
“Yes, because these texts have absolutely no pattern, and even I can’t tell when they were written… This is very strange, because even fossils on Earth should have many clues.”
“Is that so…”
Isumi’s words made Lonis and Bai Ye a bit dejected.
Because if even Isumi couldn’t investigate, then there would be almost no way to read these texts?
However…
Elus shook her head and said, “Hmph, although I don’t want to say anything, but now, it’s time for the little fox to appear again.”
“Me… me appear? What can I do…”
“We still have the heart connection, Lonis, you haven’t forgotten, have you?”
“Ah, right, there’s that thing!”
…
A simple Rainbow Abyss might not be enough to decipher ancient civilizations.
But the heart connection was different. Lonis did not forget that when Senior Isumi and the Eight-tailed Fox cooperated, they directly made everyone’s clothes in Nile Port transparent?
And now, if she and Isumi cooperated, they might be able to discover some valuable information.
“Senior Isumi, is it okay now?”
“Yes, I’m ready.”
…
Since it was not the first time using the heart connection.
So, both Lonis and Isumi quickly got into the state… closing their eyes, relaxing their bodies as much as possible, and in that wonderful sense of rhythm, following the waves from time.
…
“Ahead, there seems to be a broader world. I really want to… know more things?”
“Why is the sky blue, why don’t clouds fall like heavy objects, and why are the underpants under girls’ skirts…”
“Ah, no, no! That’s not included.”
“But, I haven’t forgotten? Back then, it was precisely because of my curiosity about this world that I, as a hero, embarked on such a journey.”
“Unknown adventures are calling me, ancient mysteries are waiting for me to unravel. In a world full of miracles, what has not yet happened?”
“Such thoughts encouraged us to continue to advance…”
“Therefore, trace back the time from the origin. Reveal everything in this world!”
…
Lonis and Isumi opened their eyes together.
And the magical world appeared before the girls’ eyes.
…
“Whoa, this is…”
“Bai Ye, junior, this looks like… a scene from the past!”
…
The lines on the walls changed under the influence of the Rainbow Abyss.
Originally, they were like the starry sky in the universe, changing every once in a while… Because of this, after experiencing the years, they had become completely scattered and incredibly difficult to recognize.
However, if everything was restored to its original state, it would be found that the words on them seemed to be a diary left by someone.
And if it were translated into the girls’ language, it would be:
…
“Heh heh, maybe I’m just an unconventional existence?”
“After all, it’s not a bizarre thing to be at odds with the goals of the Supreme Civilization, right? I don’t want to repeat those boring encore performances anymore, and I’m truly disgusted by the goals of those guys.”
“Embedding consciousness crystals, turning those originally freely growing intelligent life forms into ‘***’ (the meaning of this word cannot be deciphered) on our ranch. Is everything done to provide enough emotional crystals for the Supreme Civilization?”
“Hahaha, I refuse to do that!”
“I am a rebellious Supreme. Since I’m carrying out this mission immediately… then let’s play big?”
“It’s so interesting. I didn’t expect that after removing the ‘***’ restriction, these life forms called humans would create so many interesting things!”
“They will kill each other, and kill each other for trivial matters.”
“But they will also help each other. Through a method called marriage, two different groups are merged into one.”
“Is this a trace of Yixiu left here before? Although it cannot be confirmed at the moment, it can be confirmed that these humans have a rebellious spirit, which fits my taste.”
“Since that’s the case, then I’ll participate and play with these humans?”
“If they win, then I’ll let them continue to live freely. If they fail, then it’s not too late to turn them back into ‘***’.”
“But before that,”
“I also need to give myself a good name, right?”
“Let me think… Hmm, let’s call me Chi You.”
…
…

…
After reading the text on the mural, Lonis was stunned.
Although Isumi and the others had never heard of Chi You, Lonis knew him very well… He was a famous villain tribal leader in ancient human legends.
Later, he was defeated by the joint forces of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang, and humans gradually entered civilized society.
And according to the current clues…
The ancient villain named Chi You was actually played by a Supreme being?!
And if humans lost, they would be made into ‘***’?
Although she didn’t know what ‘***’ was, just by listening to the description, Lonis could feel that it was something very bad—it should be similar to livestock and slaves.
If they became ‘***’, perhaps humans would not have their current civilization.
…
Therefore, Lonis told Elus and her companions everything she saw.
After hearing this, Elus not only did not feel scared, but instead felt enlightened, and breathed a sigh of relief: “So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is… I understand! No wonder Alice, back then…”
“Elus, what happened to Alice?”
“No, Alice is fine. I just suddenly understood so many things… about why Alice became Alice, and why human civilization developed into what it is today.”
“!”
“For humans, the knowledge contained here is probably enough to subvert everything, a hope?”
“Uh, hope?”
“Let’s keep moving forward, Little Fox, don’t worry, you’ll understand everything soon.”
