Chapter 173: Ancient Ancestors

At this moment, Meng Mei went out again. Feeling completely distraught and on the verge of breaking down, as if she had been utterly broken, she silently revealed the events to the outside world once more.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned: "That supreme being giving the sermon can actually speak our Chinese language?"

Meng Mei immediately replied, "It's very unstandardized, but yes, they do! I guess it's probably like Hongjun Laozu in that world; even the suns are listening to their sermon, and they know our Earth's language. Perhaps, in terms of lore, they have visited our Earth... they seem to be an existence that has traveled countless worlds!"

The sun, the moon, and an ancient being who speaks our language? After all, the Creator God created all the heavens and myriad worlds. In each world, there would always be some super powerful beings capable of breaking through their own universe, traveling across various dimensions and vast worlds, living freely between heaven and earth.

Everyone couldn't help but speculate. It seemed the supernatural level of this world was far stronger than that of the Wizard World. The Wizard World was relatively weak at first; it was only after the Alchemist Emperor entered that the glorious age of wizards began, driving the development of the entire civilization. This world, at a glance, was terrifying.

"This being knows our language. According to this lore, they must have visited our Earth. This setting is quite intriguing! Perhaps this being can interact with us players, offering a breakthrough!"

"The game designers are very innovative! Knowing our Earth language adds a lot of familiarity!"

"Holy cow! This isn't a bad thing; it's a huge opportunity! This being, transcendent above all, not only didn't kill Meng Mei but also knows our language and gave her a futon. Does this mean they want her to listen to the sermon?"

"Hahaha! When heaven and earth were first separated, and all spirits first gained wisdom, Hongjun preached and distributed the Saint positions! Ancient primordial beings from all over came, and all future Saints gathered here. I, 'University Tall Tree,' also come to get a share. There's a spot for me on a futon; among the future Saints, one shall be me!! (Full of ambition)"

Everyone was extremely excited and realized the significance. Looking at the screen now, there are fifteen futons, meaning only fifteen slots for listening to the sermon. The thirteen primordial gods, along with the green lotus and that tribal person, should be the fifteen strongest beings in this world who have all arrived. Now that Meng Mei has appeared in the dojo, the ancient, unknown being has given her another futon, making her the sixteenth listener in this world. This is a tremendous opportunity.

"Forget about the opportunity to listen to the sermon! Even just sitting side-by-side and getting to know these bigwigs — the sun, the moon, the tribal person in animal skins, that green lotus — you'll be able to walk sideways like a crab in this world from now on!"

"Meng Mei is awesome now; she's the first vine to achieve enlightenment since the creation of heaven and earth! As the sixteenth ancient being able to sit on a futon, she can brag to others later, 'I once stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the sun!' (Envious)"

Meanwhile, on the other side, researchers from various institutes quickly surged through the white corridors; the situation was exceptionally urgent. Other players and most netizens still largely treated it as a game, though a small portion might have sensed something unusual. Those who took it most seriously were undoubtedly these researchers. Because during their brief period of dominance in the Wizard World, they obtained a lot of data and information. Through continuous research, they knew far more truth than ordinary people and felt increasingly horrified.

Initially, they were merely skeptical, establishing research institutes and sending personnel to infiltrate that strange Wizard World to investigate and scout with a doubtful mindset. Now, several of their research institutes had acquired most of the Wizard World's data and alchemy books and were already studying them. The preliminary results were surprising: the wizards' magic information and alchemy techniques possessed complete feasibility, reasonableness, and logical consistency even in the real world, on Earth.

This meant that on Earth, it was entirely possible to cultivate this wizarding system! When they reached this conclusion, these scientists went wild! It should be noted that the actual development of scientific research on Earth, up to the present, spans only about two hundred years. In contrast, the wizarding civilization, a transcendent civilization, had developed for over a thousand years! A transcendent, millennia-old mature system held immense appeal for them. Having stolen all the data and achievements of this civilization, they were naturally thrilled.

However, they lacked the most crucial foundation: the Evil Eye. This was the biggest obstacle. If they had the Evil Eye gene, the entire Earth would likely become a new Wizard World. The major nations on Earth would transform into wizard kingdoms dedicated to pursuing truth.

"Regarding the Evil Eye's blood, we've obtained a vast amount of life molecular structural diagrams. Modern technology can clone organisms, but it cannot yet create a completely new organism from nothing, based on a structure. This involves the knowledge of creation itself, and we'll need at least several hundred more years to develop this kind of technology...."

In one research institute, the person in charge looked solemn and took a deep breath. A magnificent treasure was clearly before them, yet they lacked the "Evil Eye" key! The Wizard World itself had also lost its civilization due to the absence of the Evil Eye, with truth-seeking wizards buried in history.

After this incident, they completely believed in this game. With careful research, and even a large investment of effort, they might obtain astonishing opportunities, promoting the development of Earth's scientific civilization and even leading to the emergence of superhumans.

"Incredible, simply too incredible. This world actually has the Sun Jinwu, the Moon, and these primordial gods, all born simultaneously with heaven and earth?"

"And this ancient, unknown being, who preaches to the primordial gods born at the time of creation, actually knows our Earth's language?"

They began to analyze continuously, and preliminary reports were being written: "According to the logical deduction within, it's likely a powerful ancient being that transcends many worlds, perhaps having indeed traveled and visited various worlds, and it's even very possible they came to Earth...."

"The sermon unexpectedly gave this player a tremendous opportunity to listen, and even the chance to interact with the Sun and various ancient primordial gods."

"We cannot ascertain their real identity. This player, like others, only posts on the game forum, and we are unable to breach the forum's technology to obtain their real-world identity."

The surrounding researchers fell silent. "In the screenshots, the ancient being preaching to the primordial gods of creation is simply too incredible..." The person in charge was trembling all over. "Could it be that there truly are myriad worlds, and our Earth is one of them? Did that being really come to our Earth?"

Although they didn't want to believe it, now... they couldn't help but believe it.

"Quick! Tell them to accelerate the evolution of species!" the person in charge commanded. Their potential species were also close to being fully evolved. After all, their previous entry was through the body of a Cthulhu evil god, while the species they were evolving themselves was nearly complete.

"We've missed the opportunity for the sermon, but we can try to enter and communicate with that ancient, unknown being. This individual likely possesses the ability to traverse dimensional worlds, even understands Chinese, and may have visited our Earth and lived here for a period."

The thought sent shivers down their spines: apparently, such terrifying alien beings were hidden among Earth's population. Perhaps they simply looked down on Earth's lowly civilization.

"This time, we must proceed cautiously and stay calm. If we anger them, possessing world-crossing abilities, they might personally descend upon our Earth. Communication is necessary, but we must be extremely vigilant, or we will be responsible for Earth's destruction."

"There's also another possibility: the one who knows Chinese could very well be our Earth's ancestor, our ancient forefather! The ancient myths from various regions might be traces left behind by them on Earth."

The more they thought about it, the more logical it seemed. The Creator God's blood somewhat resembled that of Earthlings. And this ancient being, capable of traversing worlds, was giving a sermon and even understood Chinese, perhaps having visited Earth in ancient times....

—It seems we are the descendants left by deities from beyond the heavens; this point is now entirely undisputed.

"This situation far surpasses the Wizard World; we must act before other nations do!" Inside various research institutes, high-ranking scientists from different nations remained silent. "This being could very well be our Earth's ancient ancestor, the very foundation of our rise. We cannot let other nations make contact first."
