Chapter 698 - So we built it (2/2)
The ancient skeleton said bitterly, “You have been here countless times, I have a record of that, but I have never spoken to you once. I was the only Tzolk’in being who managed to keep the original consciousness alive in the inanimate machine in that urgent doomsday experiment. But the magical energy that has enabled me to succeed is now left with only a tiny fraction of it. It was only enough to wake me up once, and then I will die forever, so you and I should cherish this opportunity.”
Chu Yunsheng frowned and said, “I want to know the truth of this world. If you can’t tell me, then I will continue to look for it myself until I find evidence.”
The ancient skeleton said in a deep voice, “What you have encountered is nothing but the thirteenth Baktun. She doesn’t represent all the Tzolk’in beings. We’re not what you think we are. I know that you want to find the truth. Otherwise, you won’t come here, but if you don’t come down, you will never see the truth. Even if I tell you, you won’t believe it.”
Chu Yunsheng shook his head and said, “But I still can’t believe you. There are too many liars in this world, and I need to protect myself.”
The ancient skeleton looked at him, the dim flame flickered in its eyes, and it said helplessly: “Since you refuse to come down, then I will go up.”
After speaking, and before Chu Yunsheng had any time to react, he saw the altar suddenly rise higher and higher, and in the blink of an eye, it reached Chu Yunsheng’s feet. The force that once isolated him outside the graveyard suddenly disappeared without a trace.
In shock, Chu Yunsheng immediately took out one level-four offensive talisman and lifted the sword.
“Don’t be nervous.” The ancient skeleton pointed to the altar below and said, “This is not my power, this is its power.”
Chu Yunsheng said in a deep voice, “What is this place?”
The ancient skeleton still pointed to the altar below and said, “Focus, then you will hear it.”
Chu Yunsheng frowned and was about to ask what kind of nonsense it was talking about, but suddenly a strange wave came from below. It instantly went into his mind and then the scene before his eyes began to change. It was a magnificent universe with countless galaxies changing their forms rapidly, and numberless stars flickering at an accelerated pace; they moved and evolved rapidly as new stars being born, old stars dying, many stars colliding into each other, destructions, explosions… But all of them had one thing in common. They expanded in all directions at a great speed.
Then even more ancient voice sounded from that universe,
“We want to know what happened at the beginning of the universe, and we want to know what will happen at the end of the universe, so we built it.”
This was the first voice, it then followed by continuous silence. Only those stars and galaxies were constantly evolving, and there might be some noises, but those noises didn’t have any meanings. Just when Chu Yunsheng thought it was about to end, another voice suddenly sounded. Compared with the first voice, the tone of the second voice was extremely urgent. It even shouted wildly with a trace of extreme panic,
“Faster! Shut down the node, they are here! They appeared! Quick! …”
Then, there was a long period of white noise. This time Chu Yunsheng could tell what it was. Someone seemed to have forcibly removed the audio in the background.
After the two voices, the wave from the altar receded like a tide, and then everything around was restored to its original state.
“What was that?” Chu Yunsheng was confused and asked the skeleton, “Who are ‘we’? And who are ‘they’? ”
“I don’t know.” The ancient skeleton said, “I heard exactly the same words as you did, but I have been instructed to stay here by the fourth Baktun for many years. So I can tell you my thoughts. The following words are very important. It is related to your life, so you must listen carefully.”
