The Growth of a God

Chapter 696: Bai Ze Monster Picture
October is here, but the temperature still hasn't dropped.

Under the scorching sun, Li Hao was busy at a construction site where construction had been temporarily suspended.

Ancient ruins dating back thousands of years were unearthed at this construction site, so various rescue excavations are currently underway.

Li Hao is now in charge of the preliminary survey work for the rescue excavation - he is specifically responsible for operating and recording the data of the total station, and mapping out the corresponding plan and anatomical diagram of the ancient site.

Occasionally, some broken fragments of utensils were found in the pile of earth, and Li Hao was responsible for collecting and keeping them.

Although these tasks are tedious, they are the most basic skills to become a qualified archaeological expert.

To be honest, if Li Hao hadn't performed so well, these jobs wouldn't even have been his turn as a freshman.

"Fortunately, it's almost finished."

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Li Hao began to input various data on his laptop, and then started to model and restore the ancient ruins.

This laptop certainly does not belong to Li Hao, and his current modeling work is also not within the scope of his responsibilities.

However, the professor who brought Li Hao to participate in this archaeological excavation gave additional instructions.

Recently, the city’s museums have been working with schools to discuss the establishment of a comprehensive electronic and information-based online museum.

If Li Hao can convert this ancient site into a 3D model and reserve data in advance for the future online museum, he can recommend Li Hao to the museum for an internship there in the future.

Although Li Hao didn't care about these, he still chose to take on this extra job in order to be able to come into contact with more ancient and unknown cultures.

"The professor is just making empty promises, can't you see that?"

Appearing silently at Li Hao's collar, the snake stuck out its tongue and complained.

"Of course I see that. I'm not a fool."

Rolling his eyes helplessly, Li Hao temporarily stopped the work in his hands and said.

"But the pie he drew is indeed of some use to me."

Hearing the sound of the strings, the snake understood the elegant meaning and reacted immediately.

"Have you discovered something new?"

Li Hao has never been a person who shoots without purpose.

Plus, he didn't even plan to go home during the National Day holiday, which only meant that something must have happened that was worth him doing so.

"Bai Zetu, have you heard of it?"

Hearing this, Huashe nodded immediately.

She is now the sun god of the mountain and sea world, so how could she not know the famous "Bai Ze Tu"?

Ever since the old gods of mountains and seas returned one after another, the stories about the great achievements of the sacred beast Bai Ze have been passed down.

You know, the Shanhai civilization already had the belief in Bai Ze.

Together with the fragmentary words passed down from the mouths of the old gods of mountains and seas, it is enough for people to piece together a general idea of ​​what happened.

"In the ancient world of mountains and seas, due to the special 'Creator's Path' of the gods of mountains and seas, a spectacle was created where gods, spirits, and all living things coexisted in one place."

"Whether it's a spirit or a god, they are just part of the universe."

"However, the power of gods and monsters is too strong, and every move they make will cause natural disasters..."

“How to learn to coexist with these powerful beings became a problem that the intelligent creatures of that time had to study.”

When he said this, Li Hao paused for a moment before continuing.

"No, it's not just a simple symbiosis..."

"In ancient times, the mountain and sea world was so prosperous that there were tens of millions of spirits and monsters. You could encounter them anytime and anywhere, and simply coexisting with them would not solve the problem." "So, the gods used their magical powers to teach those intelligent creatures how to identify spirits and monsters and recognize their power."

"Among them, Bai Ze is the worst, recording 11,520 kinds of essences and wandering souls, with detailed descriptions of their names, abilities, and weaknesses."

"This is the original 'Bai Ze Monster Picture', and it is also the result of Bai Ze's life's hard work."

After listening to Li Hao's description quietly, Huashe turned his head and looked at him in confusion.

"So, does this have anything to do with your findings?"

With a faint smile on his lips, Li Hao slowly began to explain.

"In this land of China, there are also records about the 'Bai Ze Jinggua Tu'."

"It is said that when the Yellow Emperor was in power, he once encountered a mythical beast named Bai Ze in the East China Sea, and obtained a complete copy of the Bai Ze Monster Map from it."

"Unfortunately, after thousands of years, the original 'Bai Ze Jingguai Tu' has long been lost."

"Only the fragments of the Tang Dynasty colored 'Bai Ze Jingguai Tu' were preserved in the Dunhuang Grottoes and have been passed down to the present day."

"But even the only two remaining Dunhuang fragments were looted by Frenchman Paul Pelliot in the early 20th century and are now kept in the National Library of France and the British Library respectively."

Still not understanding what the connection was, the confused Huashe couldn't help but blink his eyes.

"so what?"

Li Hao just snapped his fingers lightly, and a projection of a scroll appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"The museum that the professor recommended to me is trying to recompile and restore a digital copy of the 'Bai Ze Jingguai Tu'."

"If I could intern at that museum, maybe I could get access to those two Dunhuang manuscripts."

Hearing what Li Hao said, Huashe rolled his eyes.

"Great Supreme God, if you have this idea, you can actually go to that library and get back those two fragments right now!"

"I don't believe that there is anyone on this planet who can stop you."

Huashe was telling the truth, but unfortunately she completely misjudged Li Hao's thoughts.

"It's just a fragment of a Dunhuang scroll. If I want it, I can get it now..."

"But those are just two fragments, not the real 'Bai Ze Jingguai Tu'."

With Li Hao's current identity, even if he wanted to create another "Map of the Gods of Mountains and Seas" that completely recorded the information of all the gods in the Mountain and Sea Realm, it would only be a matter of thought.

Therefore, compared to the "magic weapon" in the conventional sense, Li Hao is now more pursuing advantages and omniscience in intelligence, data, and information.

"You want to obtain all the information on the original 'Bai Ze Jingguai Tu'?"

He opened his eyes wide in surprise, and only at this moment did Huashe understand what Li Hao was trying to do.

"Yes, since there is the original 'Bai Ze Jingguai Tu' on Earth, it means that Bai Ze must have appeared on Earth."

"Whether it was a short stay or a complete fall, his appearance proved one fact..."

Li Hao terminated the conversation at the right time.

So Huashe didn't know until a long time later what Li Hao silently added in his heart.

[Is it just a coincidence that Zhulong appears on Earth? 】
