Chapter 1665: Chapter 997: Altar
“They chose to go to the altar themselves.”
“Why?”
“Because according to the text in that cave, only by ascending the altar and entering the Blood River with one’s consciousness can one inherit the legacy treasures of the Blood River ancestor.”
“Furthermore, according to the descriptions in the cave’s murals, the only way to leave this space is to obtain the legacy left by the Blood River ancestor and safely return.”
“Otherwise, even a space superpower user would find it difficult to leave this space.”
Gu Feng’s words made Liang Yuan frown: “This is not nonsense; as long as it’s space, it cannot exist without structural support. Where there is structure, there are space nodes.”
“Any space node, if penetrated, can easily allow us to leave this space.”
Gu Feng, helpless, said: “The problem is, in our group, there is no space ability user.”
“Moreover, according to the translations by Ling Yurong and others, this space should have special passages. If space nodes were recklessly opened, the entire space might collapse immediately.”
“Only the correct space node can lead us to the world we came from.”
Gu Feng said this, his expression somewhat helpless.
Shi Haizhu also said, “We are not space ability users either, and no one dares to try arbitrarily. We can only follow the methods described on the walls.”
“Captain Tu Long and Captain Ling Yurong brought many people and started experimenting at the altar.”
Liang Yuan frowned. He could use the Hundred-Change Gene to simulate the Space Gene and easily leave any space.
Gu Feng’s statement about forcefully destroying a space node potentially causing space to collapse theoretically exists.
But the probability is small; a vast space must be supported by countless space nodes.
It’s unlikely that the destruction of any single node would cause the entire space to collapse.
Furthermore, space nodes can automatically recover.
Of course, if the Blood River ancestor was a master space superpower user, he might really have the ability to construct such a space.
Suppose this situation really existed; Liang Yuan had a way to leave.
Even if space did collapse, he could easily return to Blue Star by following his connection with his body there.
The scenario Gu Feng described about being lost in space turbulence does not exist.
Liang Yuan did not explain these to Gu Feng but instead asked, “How long have Ling Yurong and Tu Long been lying on that altar?”
“Two or three days,” Gu Feng swiftly replied.
Liang Yuan asked, “So long without any news?”
“No, Captain Tu Long and Captain Ling Yurong instructed us that if they stayed on the altar for more than three days, we should immediately find a way to bring them down.”
“So today, we specifically went to reclaim their bodies, but now it seems they still have no intention of waking up.”
Looking at Ling Yurong and Tu Long sleeping on the ground, both still had their eyes closed, unaware of anything outside.
Liang Yuan stepped forward to check the bodies of the two.
He felt their pulses and evaluated their physical conditions.
His expression gradually grew serious.
“All vital signs are normal; only the spiritual power fluctuations are gone.”
Liang Yuan narrowed his eyes; this indicates that their consciousness is no longer within their bodies.
He pondered the signs, wondering if the altar truly allowed their consciousness to leave the body to go elsewhere for inheritance?
How did these ancient superpower users accomplish this?
He stood up and walked toward the altar, saying, “Let’s go, check out the altar.”
Shi Haizhu and Gu Feng hurriedly carried Ling Yurong and Tu Long on their backs and quickly followed Liang Yuan.
As he walked, Liang Yuan asked, “What’s the situation with those monsters?”
Gu Feng heard this, and quickly replied, “We were also startled at first. When we first found that cave, these monsters attacked us.”
“After we killed a batch, they escaped.”
“Later, based on the writings and murals on the cave walls, we guessed that these monsters might be the humans who once lived in this grotto heaven.”
“After failing to evolve, they became gene monsters, retaining basic human forms but with various strange characteristics.”
Shi Haizhu also said, “Especially among them, there are many frog-men that looked quite similar to the ones we saw in Meidu Garden.”
“I also saw many merfolk-like forms.”
Liang Yuan listened and couldn’t help but glance at the monster corpses he had killed.
Indeed, as Gu Feng and Shi Haizhu mentioned, these monsters did have many human traits.
Liang Yuan was puzzled: “Is there no normal superpower user in this space? Are all that is left these failed mutation monsters?”
Gu Feng shook his head: “We don’t know; we’ve only stayed on this island so far, and haven’t explored other places.”
Shi Haizhu said, “There’s a skeletal army on the sea; it’s impossible to check the external situation.”
Liang Yuan didn’t walk directly to the altar and dared not climb up rashly. Instead, he observed the altar.
All the altars are about the same size, each about two people high, with lots of tadpole-like runes on top.
These runes are similar to today’s superpower runes.
Liang Yuan carefully studied these runes. Originally, he was skilled in many skills, being among the first in Yangshan to learn rune duplication back then.
Now, seeing the runes on the altars, his subconscious spiritual power began simulating the rune structures, analyzing their functions.
With his current Star God-level spiritual power, he doesn’t need superpower stones as a medium, easily simulating these runes.
As the first rune condensed, Liang Yuan immediately sensed this rune’s function.
“Is it a space rune?”
Liang Yuan’s mind stirred. This rune was a space transmission type.
He looked at the other runes and began deciphering them one by one.
The intricately dense runes on the altar gradually became clear under Liang Yuan’s step-by-step analysis and simulation.
“It’s a rune array.”
After just ten minutes of deciphering, Liang Yuan immediately understood that this densely packed altar rune.
In fact, many of the runes were repetitive; overall, there were only three types of rune structures.
The first type was the space transmission type rune.
This rune forms the foundation of the array.
The second type of rune is a spiritual power rune, which can combine with the first space rune to form a spiritual power transmission space channel.
The third rune is a defense rune.
It not only protects the altar itself but also guards the person on the altar through the rune’s power.
Thus, the three types of runes form the array, constituting the altar.
Liang Yuan recalled why these mutant monsters dare not approach the altar.
They simply can’t. Once close, the altar’s defense rune activates, triggering both space and spirit arrays, immediately absorbing the monsters’ spirits into the altar.
Liang Yuan guessed these monsters had suffered previously, and now greatly feared these altars.
But Liang Yuan simultaneously felt odd; what powers this rune array on the altar?
Thinking of this, Liang Yuan couldn’t help but look down at the ground, showing a thoughtful expression.
“You guys wait here, I’ll go check underneath.”
He turned to instruct Gu Feng and Shi Haizhu, his figure swiftly moving, light brown light glowing as he quickly sank into the ground.
