Chapter 1154 The Sealed Stone Tablet
The moonlight, like frost, spilled onto the deathly black pyramid, casting it a layer of cold, silvery radiance.
"Shh-"
A figure appeared out of the shadows outside the base of the pyramid without warning.
The figure of the Earth Spirit Priest appeared instantly, his earthen-yellow robe fluttering in the night wind.
His gaze was calm and unfathomable as he surveyed the evil beasts patrolling around the pyramid, occasionally letting out furious growls.
'Is this the place...?'
'These evil beasts seem to be controlled by some kind of ghostly or divine power.'
The Earth Spirit Priest thought to himself, his gaze sweeping over the hidden surveillance cameras, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes: 'It seems someone has already beaten me to it.'
Without further hesitation, he put two fingers together and held them upright in front of his chest.
"Divine Technique - Earth Escape"
His body surged with a yellowish-brown divine light, and like a melting clay sculpture, he instantly sank into the solid earth beneath his feet, disappearing without a trace, leaving only a few wisps of yellow sand swept by the night wind.
......
Deep within the pyramid lies a vast underground chamber.
"Karl?"
When Night Song saw Karl, he raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his deep eyes.
The demi-human scientists wearing white lab coats all had the logo of the genetics company on their clothes.
They were all company employees...
Night Song's gaze swept across the entire underground space as swiftly as a hawk's.
The entire underground space was guarded by at least several dozen heavily armored AI mech warriors wielding magical weapons and covered in thick armor.
These AI mech soldiers looked very familiar to Ye Ge...
He immediately recalled it.
When he first visited the gene company headquarters, the guards at the gate were AI mech soldiers of this model...
"So the company people found this place a long time ago?"
Ye Ge glanced at Ye Bing beside her.
Ye Bing crossed her arms, expressionless, with a hint of indifference: "Don't look at me, I don't know anything about this. Karl is the chairman's trusted follower, not my subordinate."
Ye Ge: "Aren't you the company's second-in-command? Doesn't your chairman consult you before making any decisions?"
Ye Bing rolled her eyes at him: "Aren't you a director of the company yourself?"
Then she added, "The chairman is a very shrewd person. He wouldn't tell us directors everything openly. I don't even know his real identity."
"The players on our company's board of directors are ultimately just in an alliance of interests. If you take away the interests, they can't even be considered friends. Of course, in private, they all prioritize their own interests. Who would be willing to tell others about their discoveries?"
Ye Ge smiled and didn't say anything more.
The two were communicating through telepathic communication using their spiritual power.
Gao Shenxue and the others couldn't hear them.
Karl walked calmly toward the trembling, excited chief scientist, stopping in front of the device that was flashing with countless data streams: "Has it been cracked yet?"
"Yes! Lord Karl!" The chief scientist of the demi-human race rubbed his hands together, the dense silver-white technological patterns on his face shining even brighter with excitement. "This ancient Heavenly Dao seal is indeed mysterious and unpredictable... It took us countless efforts... But, in the end, we have finally conquered it!" His laughter was filled with an almost fanatical sense of accomplishment.
Karl's gaze fell on the scrolling data on the main control screen. After a moment, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips: "Very good. Let's begin then. Let me see the fruits of your labor."
"Okay!" The chief scientist was greatly encouraged, and his hands moved quickly across the control panel, almost turning into a blur.
Inside the underground chamber, all the high-tech equipment connected to the massive central wall instantly hummed and indicator lights flashed wildly! A massive amount of energy was continuously injected into the wall!
Ye Ge's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, 'Could that entire wall be the stone slab of prophecy from Heaven?'
This stone slab bearing the prophecy of Heaven's will seemed to be much larger than the other stone slabs bearing the prophecy of Heaven's will he had seen before! It looked to be at least ten meters tall!
Moreover, the stone slabs with the prophecy of the Heavenly Dao that we saw before had prophecy murals on their surfaces, but this one is clearly different. The surface of this giant wall is covered by a powerful and ancient sealing force, and is covered with some kind of mysterious and complex ancient sealing runes that we have never seen before, which firmly lock everything inside.
"Debugging complete, ready to begin!"
The chief scientist of the demi-humans directed the other scientists, his loud voice echoing in the underground chamber, as they began their work.
"Energy guidance stable! Seal release procedure... initiated!"
Om-! ! !
A blinding burst of energy suddenly erupted from the device connection point, flowing slowly along the ancient seal patterns on the wall surface like golden liquid!
"Crack... crack... crack..."
Wherever it went, the ancient stone covering the walls, like a weathered sandcastle, peeled off in large pieces, cracked, and crumbled down...
Ye Ge was slightly taken aback.
As the outer layer of stone peeled away, what was revealed beneath was not rock, but a deep black jade as dark as the cosmos! The jade was warm and smooth yet exuded an ancient coldness, its surface as smooth as a mirror, seemingly capable of drawing in one's soul!
"How amazing..."
Nangong Qiuyue exclaimed in amazement at what she saw: "What on earth is that?"
Ye Bing gazed at the black jade disc that was gradually revealing its true form, a slight ripple stirring within her heart. She thought to herself, 'This prophetic stone tablet of the Heavenly Dao is truly completely different from the prophetic stone tablets I collected before…'
Ye Ge's attention was completely drawn to the patterns appearing on the jade disc, and she wondered, "Was this mural carved onto this black, jade-like stone slab?"
However, the content carved on this mural... I feel like I can't understand it at all.
Without thinking twice, Ye Ge's pupils flashed with the system's data stream, and he first used the system's camera function to completely capture the content of the mural on the stone slab.
Karl gazed thoughtfully at the murals carved on the stone slab.
So what does the content on this stone tablet of celestial prophecy mean?
It looks like a human being is depicted on the left?
It wasn't a conventional portrait; it looked more like a medical anatomical diagram, with various meridians, acupoints, soul power nodes, and organ markings marked on the human figure...
Is the figure drawn on the right a demon? ...No, to be precise, this appearance should be that of an ancient demon descendant from the same era as the gods!
This ancient demon descendant, like the human anatomy diagram on the left, has various acupoints and meridians marked on its body.
"These two pictures are so strange..."
Gao Shenxue suddenly spoke at this moment.
Ye Ge looked at her: "What's wrong?"
“That diagram of the human body,” Gao Shenxue said calmly and slowly, “whether it’s acupoints, meridians, soul power nodes, or even organs… all the markings are wrong.”
Night Song frowned.
Upon closer inspection, he realized it was indeed true!
Carl had clearly noticed the problem as well. He stood in front of the wall, looking up at the two murals, and pondered for a long time.
"Finally, the seal on this stone slab has been broken?" A deep and magnetic voice broke the silence of the underground chamber.
Karl turned his head at the sound.
A man slowly emerged from the shadows of a passageway on the other side of the basement.
He was around thirty-five years old, with sculpted features, deep and sharp silver-gray pupils, and a high, hooked nose that added to his cold and dignified air.
His face also had the silver-white technological patterns unique to the demi-human race, but he wasn't wearing the uniform of the gene company.
Carl smiled appropriately: "Mr. Adam, you've arrived."
