Chapter 217 Vertical Eye

Hu Long's earlier guess was correct.

This guy is definitely not human.

Instead, it came from a civilization called Daya.

That civilization was much older than any known dynasty, dating back approximately a million years, unimaginably ancient, and its size far surpassed that of humankind.

However, it is ancient as it may be.

In terms of true development level, Earth's current technology is simply incomparable to theirs.

Although the Daya people were also humanoid, their essence was vastly different from that of modern humans.

They have long since transcended their mere physical bodies; they are born sacred.

He has a third eye between his eyebrows, and his spiritual power is so strong that it is almost terrifying.

They are able to achieve extremely effective information exchange.

The languages, writing systems, and pictures that humans possess today are essentially just mediums for information dissemination, crude and inefficient.

The people of the Daya civilization had absolutely no need for these.

They can use the third eye between their eyebrows to transmit spiritual information.

Humans need to learn, and as long as one person in their tribe understands, they can instantly impart the same principles to all the rest of their tribe through the spiritual transmission of their third eye.

There is no need to go through a long learning process.

This ability allows communication efficiency between ethnic groups to reach an unimaginable level.

The spread of information is closely related to the progress of civilization, which has made their civilization evolve at an astonishing speed, almost leaping forward.

They quickly moved beyond the so-called Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age.

As time went by, in just over a century, the Daya civilization quickly transitioned from the information age to the interstellar age.

No longer content with Earth, they began to travel to other planets in spacecraft, expanding their territory and colonizing other planets along the way.

Although there were some twists and turns along the way, the outcome was relatively smooth.

As time went by, the ambitions of the Daya civilization grew ever larger.

Having already dominated the entire solar system, they naturally turned their attention to the more distant stars.

But this also involves a fundamental question: how to achieve large-scale expansion of civilization and complete intergalactic travel?

Long-distance spacetime jumps require a much larger energy source to support them.

Controlled nuclear fusion energy is a good option.

However, the nearest galaxies are several light-years away from Earth's solar system.

Using nuclear fusion as an energy source is too slow; it would take nearly a century for a round trip.

Moreover, it simply cannot support giant fleets, interstellar ships, or galactic-level infrastructure.

There's simply not enough fuel to build interstellar tunnels, faster-than-light engines, galactic defenses, giant starports, or terraformed planets.

Therefore, they set their sights on the sun in the solar system.

Building a Dyson sphere to capture stellar energy became the only option.

As long as it succeeds.

The energy obtained could increase by hundreds of millions of times.

They have enough energy to drive faster-than-light, large-scale intergalactic marches, carry out population migrations, and dominate star systems.

With their technological capabilities, achieving this step is not difficult.

Once they had the idea, they immediately started construction.

The process went smoothly.

However, they never expected this.

This act brought them a devastating disaster.

Upon reaching this point in the memory reading, Hu Long abruptly stopped.

He had already guessed what was going to happen next.

next second.

As memories continued to surface, fragmented images appeared one after another before his eyes.

In the final step of the Dyson sphere's completion, the sun suddenly changed.

In a moment of utter stillness, a single vertical pupil slowly opened from the depths of the raging flames of that star that had been burning for billions of years.

The next instant, crimson-gold light swept across the heavens and earth.

Under that light, everything about the Daya civilization was mercilessly erased, as if it had never existed.

The accumulated glory of a civilization is nothing but a delusion before the dust settles.

However, the giant eye did not disappear into silence.

It slowly turned its pupils, piercing through the vast remnants of memory, and looked directly in the direction where Hu Long was.

That feeling.

It was as if the other person was looking at him across time and space through Golia's memories.

Click!

The memory scene shattered suddenly, like a mirror.

The scene ends there.

outside world.

Gloria, whose eyes had become vacant due to the mental invasion, had a distorted face and seemed to be in extreme pain, her body constantly struggling and twisting.

A dazzling light emanated from her eyes, mouth, nose, and even every pore, so astonishing that it resembled a container about to explode.

However, it was of no use.

No matter how dazzling the light was, it couldn't shake the arm that Hu Long was holding.

Suddenly, Hu Long let out a muffled groan.

He abruptly released his grip, letting Gloria fall heavily to the ground, and took several steps back.

At that very moment, a wisp of golden flame appeared out of thin air on Golia's body.

The flames were silent and odorless, yet more terrifying than any other fire.

Under its scorching heat, Golia's body, which was originally as hard as iron, was like a thin sheet of paper, and in an instant, one shocking hole after another was burned into it.

"————It was him————"

Gloria gave a bitter laugh, her voice low and hoarse.

"You awakened Him—you will die too—"

She seemed to have sensed something.

Through the flickering firelight, her gaze fell on Hu Long, her lips parted as if she wanted to say something more.

However, before he could finish speaking...

A black iron rod swept across, whistling through the air, and smashed Golia's head open on the spot.

The ground collapsed with a roar, revealing a deep pit stained with blue blood.

The one who made the move was none other than Hu Long.

This guy seems hopeless.

Rather than be burned to death, listen to the other party utter some vicious curses.

It's better to just steal the kills first.

[Source Value +1500]

Two lines of silver lettering appeared before my eyes.

A strange light flashed in Hu Long's eyes; the source value and traffic provided by Golia this time far surpassed any previous instance.

At the same time that Golia died.

The flames that were originally on his body suddenly surged and engulfed him, burning him to ashes in an instant.

Even the bloodstains on the ground were burned completely.

However, after doing all this, the flames did not disappear; instead, they swept towards Hu Long's location.

Upon seeing this, Hu Long's eyes turned cold, and with a flicker of his body, he vanished from the spot.

But the flames clung on relentlessly, not only failing to shake off the flames but growing ever stronger and larger, eventually transforming into a giant golden bird, determined not to give up until it had reduced Hu Long to ashes.

Upon realizing this, Hu Long stopped in his tracks.

He knew in his heart that he couldn't shake off this thing with his speed, so he could only try to defeat it.

Thinking of this.

He raised his hand and extended a claw, unleashing a torrent of crimson and white purifying flames.

Strangely, the flames did not cause any damage to his clothes.

The crimson and white flames transformed into a giant python, baring its fangs and biting fiercely at the golden flame bird that was rushing towards it.

Chirp! Hiss!

A snake and a bird were locked in combat, their two distinct flames clashing against each other.

The golden flames were domineering and blazing, while the crimson and white flames were unpredictable and elusive. For a moment, it seemed that neither could defeat the other.

However, there are still differences between the two.

The golden flames were like duckweed without water, while the crimson-white purifying flames grew ever larger under Hu Long's control.

Therefore, this stalemate lasted only a few breaths.

The golden bird suddenly let out a mournful cry, and was swallowed whole by the red and white giant snake, turning into wisps of sparks that slowly died out.

[Source Value +1000]

Just then, another line of text appeared.

Hu Long's face showed a hint of surprise.

My mental energy covered the surroundings, even though there were people who had died in the previous blast.

However, there were no martial artists at the Blood Transformation Realm or any strange spirits among them, so there shouldn't be any source value. Yet, a notification appeared on the panel. Therefore, there is only one possibility: these thousand strands of source value must have come from this ball of flame.

Combining the images he had seen in Gloria's memories, Hu Long understood the reason after a moment's thought.

The power of the Daya civilization goes without saying; it was almost capable of dominating the entire solar system, and even Earth in its previous life could not compare to it. Yet, it was still destroyed, and all of this was caused by that one sun.

The sun is alive; Hulon already knew this.

Furthermore, one can acquire a certain amount of source value by sunbathing.

In addition to the observations made using the Eye of Annihilation, and the scene seen in Gloria's memories.

That flame from just now.

If there are no unforeseen circumstances, it should originate from the sun.

Because the sun itself can provide him with source value.

The flames were formed from the power of the sun, and destroying them would naturally yield source value.

However, it is less like the sun.

In Hu Long's view, it would be more accurate to say that the sun itself is a strange and malevolent entity.

The only question is whether it is the sun itself, or whether the other party is just some special life form existing inside the sun.

Various ideas.

It flashed through his mind.

I pulled myself back to reality.

He recalled a memory he had previously seen in the other person's mind.

Hu Long turned his head and looked around.

The night wind blew through the empty streets, and in the distance, bright lights and flames rose, dyeing half of the night sky red.

Every now and then, the sound of something exploding could be heard.

Apart from that, there was no sound.

The sounds here do not include insects, ants, birds, or beasts.

Rather, it means there was not a single human voice.

This is clearly abnormal; how could a city be devoid of human voices?

Even before, there were sounds of prayer.

But now, it's completely silent.

In fact it is.

At the moment Gloria died, everyone in the entire city of Dunslin simultaneously lost vital signs.

These people had no wounds and their bodily functions were intact.

They all died from the destruction of their souls.

In this regard.

Hu Long only had a slight idea before he understood what was going on.

Combine with acquired memories.

This was clearly the work of Gloria, a woman from the Daya civilization who was simply using the humans of the Lai Kingdom as tools.

She used the mental connection of her third eye to link the minds of all these people together.

If one had to describe it, everyone's spirit was like a series of threads, which were woven into a net. The center of this net was Golia herself, and with her death, the net collapsed.

In Hu Long's view, this alone might not have led to the deaths of these people; at most, it would have only damaged their souls and caused them to become mentally exhausted.

The reason this is happening now is probably related to that golden flame.

These thoughts flashed through my mind.

Hu Long's gaze was fixed on a certain direction.

With a flicker, he vanished from his spot without a trace.

Several times the speed of sound, coupled with a powerful physique and internal energy.

Wherever he passed, the air seemed to be sliced ​​open like water cut by a sharp blade, obediently splitting to both sides.

A cone-shaped white shockwave condensed and took shape in front of him, then roared and spread to both sides, emitting a piercing shriek.

Everything along the way.

Buildings, streets, remaining vehicles, and dead trees.

The moment he struck, everything turned to dust, carried into the air by the blast wave, and then fell back down like a gray snowfall.

He didn't turn or dodge; like a walking natural disaster, he crashed straight through and quickly disappeared from sight.

in situ.

Once all the commotion subsided.

Half a minute later.

Two figures suddenly landed from the sky on a relatively intact high-rise building in this ruin.

This is a man and a woman.

The man was nearly two meters tall with broad shoulders and a thick back.

A worn scar ran across his nose as he stood there, a giant sword strapped to his back.

The woman wore a snow-white woolen shawl, and her long flaxen hair fell to either side of her shoulders.

The aura emanating from the two was as deep as an abyss, and coupled with the way they appeared silently, they were clearly two supreme grandmasters at the Yuan Dan realm.

"What exactly happened here?"

The woman spoke first, in Luo language.

A pair of grey-blue eyes slowly swept across the surrounding scene, their gaze sweeping over everything in sight.

All that remained were lifeless corpses; the entire city resembled a dead city.

Upon seeing this, a look of seriousness flashed across her eyes.

It wasn't that she hadn't seen a corpse before.

On the contrary, those who reach this level have at least a thousand lives on their hands.

What truly concerned her was the bizarre manner of these people's deaths and their terrifying number.

Ketonslin City is a state-owned city. In the Yu Kingdom, it would be roughly equivalent to a third or fourth-tier city. Although the population size cannot be compared, the city has at least several hundred thousand residents.

And now, they're all dead.

"Not just here."

The man shook his head slightly, his voice low.

"The situation is probably similar in other cities in Lai."

His expression was equally solemn.

The two came from one of the five ancient financial magnates in the Luo Kingdom, and their backgrounds were somewhat similar to those of the aristocratic clans in the Yu Kingdom.

Because of the appearance of "Goliath the Stone Man", they were unable to fight against her.

However, all countries inevitably sent people to secretly monitor their movements.

The two were sent by the Luo Kingdom.

However, to avoid getting too close and being noticed by the Holy Mother, the two of them deliberately kept a certain distance.

Just now, they witnessed the great sun fall from the sky, its dazzling light engulfing everything.

Even with their strength, they didn't dare to rush forward rashly.

They only dared to approach the place after the commotion subsided a bit.

But I never expected this to happen.

immediately.

The two conducted a brief search of the vicinity.

However, no trace of the Virgin Mary was found.

It's as if the other party has vanished into thin air.

However, they also discovered traces of Hu Long's departure, since those traces were not concealed at all.

It's hard not to notice.

The two were about to give chase.

suddenly.

The woman stopped.

"This is bad, Pavlin, you are surrounded by death energy. We can't continue. We must leave here first. The waters here are too deep. If we continue to explore rashly, it will bring us death."

Her pupils gleamed with an eerie white light.

Looking at the man carrying a giant sword in front of him.

At this moment, she is using a divination method called "observation of omens".

It can determine good or bad fortune by observing the flow of qi (vital energy) to a certain extent.

In this regard.

The man carrying the sword hesitated slightly, but said nothing.

Neither the great sun nor the Holy Mother were things they could contend with.

More importantly, the other party's method of divination is very accurate and rarely makes mistakes.

"Okay, let's go!"

Then.

Without further hesitation, the two figures concealed their auras and vanished from their spot, leaving behind only the desolate ruins of the city and the dust that had not yet settled in the sky.

The two left not long ago.

Several more people arrived at this place.

These are all surveillance agents from different countries.

Some of them chose to leave.

However, some people, driven by curiosity or other motives, chased after Hu Long in the direction he had left.
