Chapter 1561 The Bronze Stove and Bronze Po (2/2)

To test his theory, he released the little bug and turned back time. The moment the little bug appeared, it rushed towards the stove set at a faster speed than ever! This surprised Li Du, because the little bug disappeared the moment it was released, then reappeared right in front of the stove set. It was as if it could teleport.

Li Du was shocked: this was the first time the little bug demonstrated such an ability. Teleportation!

He restricted the little bug from absorbing the time capability of the stove set, which proved to be a difficult task. This stove set seemed to be tempting the little bug more than usual, making it inch towards the set with all its might. Li Du felt like he was about to lose control over the bug! This was an equally new experience.

He tried with all his might to retain his control over the little bug, focusing all his energy upon it. As he did that, he felt a little weird.

Maung Kyaw Zin seemed to sense this. He asked, ”Boss Li, are you alright?”

Li Du tried hard to control the little bug and forced a smile onto his face as he did so. ”I'm alright, I might just be a little too hungry. I sometimes feel dizzy when my blood sugar dips.”

Maung Kyaw Zin rushed over to support him. ”You should be careful, then. Go eat. I'll join you once I finish the soup.”

With his help, Li Du sat down and assured the man, ”I'm alright, you can leave me now. Go finish what you have to. I'll be fine after a bite of chocolate.”

Godzilla always carried with him a supply of chocolate, candy, glucose water, and other things that could restore energy quickly. Li Du waved and Godzilla came over with the stuff.

With much effort, he finally retained his control over the little bug. In those few short seconds, the little bug seemed to have gained some sort of sentience. It struggled valiantly against Li Du's grip. This was a foreign feeling and it made Li Du's heart race. There was one thing he was sure of: these were no ordinary stove and pot. These two things drew out the weird change in the little bug.

Just like that, his curiosity grew even stronger. He made the little bug use its time-traveling ability but despite that, he could not go far enough back to the origin of the stove set. As far as he knew, the little bug could go as far back as a millennium. That was to say, the stove set was at least a thousand years old!

How far back did civilization in Myanmar date? Li Du was not too sure, but if he had to guess, he would say about a thousand-odd years, from what he's read up on the country's history. According to what he knew, local historical materials and written records that could be examined dated back to about 1000 A.D.

As time moved, Li Du saw more scenes of the stove and pot. He had guessed correctly — this set was not something frequently used. The scene showed that the set was often stored away in a case; there were very few scenes that depicted the stove set being used.

The odd thing was that the stove and pot had two main uses. Sometimes they were used as they were meant to be used — that is, to cook. Other times, they functioned as totems that people worshipped.

Gradually, a terrifying scene unfolded. At first, it looked like just another scene of the stove set serving as an object of worship. There were many people worshipping it at the start, but the crowd gradually thinned. From what he could see, it went from the entire tribe worshipping the totems to just some elders worshipping it, to a single person in the end.

After the set was used to cook, the next scene was sometimes a scene of death. There would always be someone dying, and most of the time, it was a large number of people who died.

As he neared the end, the people in the scene seemed to be dressed in relatively more modern garb. They sat surrounding the stove as they ate, and then they ended up dead. In the next scene, the clothes the people wore seemed even more modern, as did the people who were eating around the stove. Those people died after that, too...
