Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 614 Indigenous Writings

The animal hide is entirely gray and is about two meters wide.

After acquiring Bai Yang, he studied it repeatedly, but without much success.

Judging from the secret patterns depicted above, he could only deduce that these were patterns of laws, but he couldn't figure out exactly what they were.

In comparison, the innate secrets bestowed by the Star Tower and the primordial universe are much easier to understand.

While the clones repeatedly activated the holy rune, trying to learn the absorption ability of the green light, the main body carefully examined the item once again.

"Those natives now occupy less than 10% of the land on the Origin Continent, and they are said to be some very bad places."

Over the years, they have only managed to barely protect themselves and have been unable to cause any significant trouble.

The item on this animal hide is definitely not of a very high grade.

They are unlikely to possess the ability to formally establish a nation, and even if there are individuals at the Saint or God-King level, their numbers would certainly be small.

With the complete nine-layered secret pattern of the Star Tower as a reference, Bai Yang should have been able to discern the quality of this animal hide.

Even if you don't understand the content at first, you should still be able to grasp the level of understanding.

However, in reality, he seemed to be able to discern many individual law patterns from these law patterns, but he could never see through their contents.

They couldn't even determine what secret techniques were hidden inside the entire animal hide.

The area of ​​this animal hide is actually very small, so you can't draw much on it.

The Star Tower, with its intricately carved pillars reaching to the heavens, is measured in light-years.

Given such a stark contrast, he wasn't particularly looking forward to this thing.

"The amount of information in these two things is vastly different."

If this thing really is a secret rune diagram, how come I have absolutely no clue about it?

After changing his approach, Bai Yang suddenly had an idea.

Perhaps this animal hide wasn't originally a pattern of laws, but rather something that resembled something else entirely?

After all, indigenous peoples symbolize the primitive side of civilization. They may have traditions, but they certainly won't be very refined.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have ended up having their homes taken away.

Just then, Xing Shou, who could communicate directly with Bai Yang's soul, saw his troubled expression and said:

"Could this be some kind of writing system?"

I have read the history of many primitive civilizations in the universe, and their writing systems unintentionally conform to some kind of laws and secret patterns.

They discovered the power within it and then concluded that the writing itself possessed a certain mystery.

They even developed forms of power such as tattoos, incantations, and spells.

Bai Yang's heart stirred, and he asked:

"You mean this isn't a cryptic script, but some kind of indigenous writing system?"

Star Guardian said softly:

That's my guess.

Otherwise, how much could such a small piece of skin hold?

The law runes on fifth-tier Force weapons look far more complex than this.

A script that I can't understand?

Other powerful beings from different eras of reincarnation left behind their legacies, and they all left behind their own thoughts at the same time.

Even if people don't understand each other's languages ​​at all, they can still convey information.

But these indigenous people obviously did not do that, and there is no reference point at all. How should we interpret this?

Bai Yang had just reminisced about his life, so he asked Xing Shou:

"You have records of when the sacred symbol displayed all the 'dragon' characters in the entire universe, right?"

Are there any patterns here that match those on the animal hides?

Since the Ten Thousand Dragons Battle Body actually originated from animal hides, it is highly likely that it has the indigenous character for "dragon" on it.

Star Guardian was taken aback, then exclaimed with delight:

"I'll give it a try!"

A burst of blue light suddenly shone from Bai Yang's optical brain onto the animal hide, completely copying its contents.

Then, in the virtual space, the 2-meter-long animal hide was copied into countless copies, forming a screen wall.

He could tell that each of the screens was Star Guardian trying to "disassemble" the words in some way.

The secret patterns were repeatedly cut in different ways, resulting in a process of "segmentation and decomposition".

Nobody knows if the indigenous people have punctuation marks. A casual stroke or a dot could form two completely different characters.

In Bai Yang's eyes, the screen wall in front of him kept getting smaller.

Most of the possible combinations were quickly rejected by Star Guardian.

Suddenly, only about three thousand permutations remained.

At this time, animal skin patterns were no longer limited to two-dimensional designs.

Bai Yang saw on many screens that Xing Shou had created three-dimensional models of these patterns.

The originally flat pattern is like the shadow of these three-dimensional words projected onto the ground.

He suddenly realized, who says that writing has to be two-dimensional?

With the help of mental power, three-dimensional language and writing are entirely feasible.

"Isn't this somewhat similar to the Rhinoceros Bureau?"

What appears to be a simple game of chess, because it is three-dimensional, actually has endless variations.

The amount of information contained here is actually astonishing!

Bai Yang only glanced at it a few times before he knew that Xing Shou had probably found the right direction.

Because the number of secret patterns he could recognize suddenly increased!

There is indeed some mysterious connection between this indigenous script and the secret patterns.

The process of distorting the secret patterns into text is by no means arbitrary; rather, it follows a set of rules and principles.

The animal skin script, originally more than two meters wide, has now been transformed into a nine-story three-dimensional secret pattern tower through this disassembly!

Now, the screens that originally cost at least tens of thousands of yuan have been reduced to just seven by Star Guardian.

Bai Yang was mesmerized, feeling that every possible way of dissecting the material made perfect sense.

Is it possible that all seven methods are actually correct?

Is this also a method of information overlay storage?

With his memory, there was no need for him to struggle or make choices.

Bai Yang decided to memorize all seven plans and the contents of the 63-story Secret Pattern Tower!

His mind immediately began to work at full speed, comparing it with the secret runes of the nine levels and twenty-seven layers of the Star Tower.

This time, Bai Yang instantly saw even more!

"The patterns on the animal hides are still not as complex as those on the Star Tower, but there are suddenly many more similar things inside."

This is some kind of trace belonging to the Origin Continent!

In this way, his understanding became much clearer.

Soon, he discovered a large amount of content belonging to the [Ten Thousand Dragons Battle Body] within the secret runes of the second beast-hide tower!

The method created by the Lord of Ten Thousand Dragons was indeed largely based on the content here, albeit unintentionally.

That evil green light simply helped him forcibly overcome a series of obstacles.

"Most of the fighting is done with bare hands."

The natives are not good at crafting weapons, so what else can they do if they don't do this?

"Star Guardian, help me decipher a speculative version of the inscription on the first animal-hide tower."

"Huh? How do I do that?"

"Based on the training method of the Second Tower, the [Ten Thousand Dragons Battle Body], this is a rough speculation based on the idea that it is a secret pattern that can absorb matter to strengthen itself."

If you encounter anything you don't understand, feel free to check with me.

With my current level of the Myriad Dragons Battle Body, I can at least be right about 30-40%.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

"Don't feel pressured, just wait until you've sorted it out."

I will first practice using [realistic simulation], and I'm sure I'll find the right method.

"clear!"

Sorry, I'll definitely make up for it with three chapters tomorrow.
