The fourth chapter of the Global Human Talent Competition! Chapter 36 Death and becoming a god!
After Chu Zhou and the other three received the information conveyed to them by the crystal tombstone, each of them showed surprise in their eyes.
"I didn't expect that we would get such a precious inheritance here. This Scroll of the Spirit: Soul Fusion is probably much more profound than all the SSS-level meditation techniques in the Warrior Mall. It is truly a priceless treasure!"
Oriental Pearl Tower spoke with great excitement.
"According to the information passed down to us by the tombstone, this 'Spiritual Scroll: Soul Fusion' is one of the highest achievements of the wisdom of the ancient humans who left behind the relics. This time, we are able to inherit it, which is really a big profit."
"With this secret scroll, even if we don't have the talent for psychics, we may be able to become psychics."
Yang Zhenzhen also said this happily.
Although Sister Dao didn't say anything, there was a hint of smile on her face.
Obviously, she was very satisfied with this harvest.
"Hahaha, we can only say that we are lucky."
Chu Zhou laughed.
He felt that the ancient ruins were his blessed land.
Not only did he gain more than 2.6 million attribute points.
He also obtained the precious inheritance of "Spiritual Scroll: Soul Fusion".
Just when Chu Zhou and others were overjoyed, spider-web-like cracks suddenly appeared on the crystal tombstone.
Then, the entire tombstone collapsed into dust with a bang.
Chu Zhou and the others looked in shock at the crystal tombstone that suddenly exploded into pieces.
"It seems that the crystal tombstone has been preserved from ancient times to the present, most likely because of a spiritual force that maintains it. Now that the spiritual force has been consumed, it can no longer maintain it."
Chu Zhou said with emotion.
It is obvious that people who come here in the future will not be as lucky as them to obtain such a precious inheritance as "Spiritual Scroll: Soul Fusion".
Then, Chu Zhou and others observed the ancient human corpses in the crystal coffins.
"According to the records in the 'Spiritual Secret Scroll: Soul Fusion', once the spiritual sublimation is completed according to the method in the secret scroll, the original power of the flesh and blood in the body of the living being will be instantly drained and gathered into the spiritual soul, condensing into a soul crystal."
"That is to say, these ancient human corpses are actually just empty shells. If the crystal coffins are opened, I'm afraid these corpses will turn into ashes on the spot."
Chu Zhou said with a sigh.
Ancient humans chose this evolutionary path to transform into mechanical creatures.
He did not comment on whether it was correct or not.
Everyone has their own path to take.
The same is true for every civilization.
Whether it is right or wrong, people who do not understand the real situation are not qualified to comment.
"Since the bodies of these ancient humans will turn into ashes after the crystal coffins are opened...then, let's not disturb their rest."
Oriental Pearl said.
Chu Zhou and others nodded.
They have already got the biggest benefit here.
There is really no need to disturb the rest of the deceased.
They quickly walked out of this 'tomb'.
However, they were soon stunned by the scene before them.
There were countless mechanical creatures in the sky and on the ground, all gathered into torrents and converged towards the center of this steel city.
At this moment, the electronic eyes of all mechanical creatures were shining with a gentle blue light.
"Death, become a god!"
"Death, become a god!"
"Death, become a god!"
…
Such electronic sounds were heard from the bodies of many mechanical creatures.
There were also many mechanical creatures, moving towards the center of the city, bowing their heads with every step.
Such a scene has a certain religious sacredness and is also extremely strange.
“This…what’s going on?”
Seeing this scene, the Oriental Pearl Tower felt a chill down its spine.
"Why do the actions of these mechanical creatures resemble the actions of people in certain areas during pilgrimages in ancient times?"
"No, although these mechanical creatures have white crystals in their bodies, which are soul crystals, their soul crystals no longer have self-awareness."
"Under such circumstances, why would they engage in such strange pilgrimage or worship of gods?"
Yang Zhenzhen was also shocked.
"We'll know what's going on if we follow them."
Chu Zhou said.
Afterwards, the four of them followed from a distance a group of mechanical creatures that kowtowed with every step.
Their tracks are not concealed.
But the strange thing is that all the mechanical creatures, at this moment, seemed to be so fanatically immersed in pilgrimage or worship of gods that they did not even notice their existence.
Or maybe they thought they had more important things to do and were too lazy to pay attention to Chu Zhou and the others.
In this way , Chu Zhou and his companions followed a team of mechanical creatures and came to the center of the city.
"So many mechanical creatures... there must be at least tens of thousands of them!"
Chu Zhou and others stood on the top of a building, looking at a huge square in the center of the city.
I saw that the square was already filled with densely packed mechanical creatures, like a vast ocean.
In addition, there were many mechanical creatures in formal attire, constantly walking back and forth in the square, scattering colorful paper and flowers.
There are also many mechanical creatures equipped with trumpets, from which bursts of ancient and joyful music are constantly heard.
"Uh...are these mechanical creatures holding a big party?" Chu Zhou muttered to himself.
Seeing this scene, he was really confused.
If he ignored the shapes of those mechanical creatures, he would really think that this was a large and happy event held by humans.
"How strange! We have all refined the soul crystals left behind by mechanical creatures... There is clearly no real consciousness in those soul crystals."
"How can these unconscious mechanical creatures behave in a way similar to us humans?"
Dao Jie, Dongfang Mingzhu, and Yang Zhenzhen all felt that the scene before them was too weird no matter how they looked at it.
“Ka-ka-ka…”
At this moment, a huge steel platform suddenly rose in the center of the square.
That steel platform is about the size of four fields.
A large mechanical creature that is ten meters tall, wearing a crown, a red cloak, holding a silver book in his left hand and a scepter in his right hand.
This special mechanical creature exudes an aura of holiness and majesty.
It's like the Pope among humans in the old times.
When this mechanical creature appeared, all the mechanical creatures in the square fell silent and stared at the Mechanical Pope on the platform.
"Death, become a god!"
The Mechanical Pope raised the scepter in his hand and a voice came from his body.
"Death, become a god!"
"Death, become a god!"
"Death, become a god!"
…
All of a sudden, all the mechanical creatures seemed to have fanatical lights in their electronic eyes , and they all knelt on the ground.
The next moment, the earth shook violently, and a huge hole suddenly exploded. A huge metal vine suddenly broke through the ground and appeared in front of many mechanical creatures.
This is a black metal vine that is as thick as several people can hug together.
After it appeared, it kept stretching upwards, and after reaching a height of a hundred meters in the sky, it suddenly split and extended into countless black sub-vines.
Countless black vines spread and intertwined in the sky, covering the sky like a black wave.
Then, countless silver-white metal tentacles fell from the sky like a silver waterfall and appeared in front of all the mechanical creatures.
"Is this... is this the real body of those metal tentacles from not long ago?"
Chu Zhou and the others, looking at the huge black metal vine, all instantly tensed up.
Those metal tentacles not long ago left a deep impression on them.
They knew that even if they became stronger, they would still be no match for the metal vines.
At this moment, Chu Zhou and others saw an incredible scene again.
The densely packed mechanical creatures in the square, upon seeing the huge metal vines appear, all began to kowtow to the metal vines fanatically, as if they were worshipping the metal vines as gods.
Then, one mechanical creature after another shouted the slogan "Die, Become God", and then rushed towards the silver-white metal tentacles hanging down, and took the initiative to wrap the metal tentacles around themselves.
The metal tentacles suddenly flashed with an electric-like light, and all the mechanical creatures entangled by the metal tentacles turned into ashes.
And the essence of those mechanical creatures seemed to be completely swallowed up by the tentacles.
Then, the metal tentacles' behavior of devouring mechanical creatures did not scare other mechanical creatures, but instead became an incentive.
More mechanical creatures rushed towards the metal tentacles, actively wrapped the metal tentacles around themselves, and then turned into ashes.
Chu Zhou and others felt extremely weird and absurd when they saw the 'suicidal behavior' of the densely packed mechanical creatures.
Chu Zhou was even more heartbroken.
So many mechanical creatures were actually all swallowed by the metal vines.
This is such a pity.
You know, there is a soul crystal in every mechanical organism.
These soul crystals are good things for increasing attribute points.
But now it has been swallowed by the metal vines.
However, although he felt 'heartbroken', he had no intention of snatching food from the tiger's mouth.
The metal vines were so terrifying that he wanted to send himself up and serve as the metal vines' meal.
Soon, ninety-nine percent of the mechanical creatures in the square were swallowed by the metal vines, leaving less than a thousand mechanical creatures.
After devouring a large number of mechanical creatures, an extremely strong light suddenly burst out from the metal vines, along with earth-shaking energy fluctuations.
At this moment, the entire steel city shook.
Chu Zhou and others all felt the suffocating aura.
In the sky, the huge metal vines began to twist violently like a strange snake, causing waves of terrifying energy storms.
Below, the Mechanical Pope and the remaining mechanical creatures were all staring at the twisting metal vines in the air, as if they were expecting something.
“This…what is going on?”
Dongfang Mingzhu and Yang Zhenzhen looked at the metal vines twisting wildly in the sky, and at the vines that seemed to be struggling in pain, with surprise on their faces.
Sister Dao stared at the metal vine for a while, and suddenly said, "It seems to be transforming!"
"Metamorphosis?" Chu Zhou was shocked. "Could it be that it just devoured so many mechanical creatures in preparation for metamorphosis?"
At this moment, Chu Zhou and the other three were also staring closely at the metal vines in the sky.
Suddenly, the metal vines that were twisting wildly suddenly stiffened and then stopped completely.
Immediately, countless cracks emitting milky white light appeared on the metal vines.
“BOOM!!!!!”
As if some hard object suddenly exploded, the huge black metal vine that stretched from the ground to the sky suddenly shattered and turned into countless metal particles.
A vast metal rain fell from the sky.
"……this!"
Chu Zhou and the other three were completely stunned.
They had never expected that such a terrifying metal vine would explode so completely.
The Mechanical Pope and the remaining mechanical creatures in the square seemed to have their faith collapsed after seeing the metal vines explode into countless metal particles.
Their electronic eyes also turned red, filled with aura of violence and destruction.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
There were less than a thousand mechanical creatures originally, but at this moment, more than five hundred of them chose to self-destruct.
Such a scene is truly shocking.
At this time, a fist-sized metal seed suddenly appeared in the metal rain that was falling like yellow sand.
The seed, wrapped in a layer of white light, slowly fell down.
“…Could that metal seed be left behind by the metal vines?”
The moment they saw the metal seed, Chu Zhou and the other three's eyes suddenly lit up.
There is no doubt that this metal seed was left by the metal vine.
If obtained, it is possible to cultivate it into another metal vine.
When Chu Zhou and the others thought of the terrifying metal vines just now, their hearts became extremely hot.
Swish, swish, swish…
Suddenly, seven figures rushed towards the metal seed at the same time.
They were Xie Longyuan, Bai Changming, Ye Yun, Luo Yue, Pang He, Zhu Yushi, Gu Xi and other seven people.
The seven of them were actually hiding nearby.
At this moment, after seeing the metal seeds, everyone knew that the metal seeds were priceless treasures, so they couldn't help but rush to grab them.
The Mechanical Pope and the mechanical creatures, who were already in a state of madness, became even crazier after seeing Xie Longyuan and others trying to fight for the sacred objects left behind by their gods.
One of the Mechanical Pope's arms suddenly turned into a mechanical arm that was hundreds of meters long and tens of meters thick, and grabbed Xie Longyuan and others fiercely.
As for the other mechanical creatures, they were even more crazy. They rushed directly towards Xie Longyuan and others, and then exploded themselves.
Feeling the horror of the hundreds-meter-long mechanical arm and seeing the mechanical creatures that exploded when they rushed over, Xie Longyuan and others' faces changed and they had to choose to retreat.
"It's our turn!"
When Chu Zhou saw that scene, he smiled faintly, and immediately turned into a shadow and flew towards the square.
