Li Yao didn't understand the meaning of the moon-looking person.

Is the so-called "black iron statue" a metaphor, or...literally?

The other party revealed a faint sadness and treacherousness between the lines, but it attracted him deeply. Without saying a word, the girl continued to speak.

"Like all adults living in Silver City, my mother is also a researcher exploring ancient ruins, but she chose a research path that few Nuwa clans would usually choose. She is a magic weapon expert."

The Moon Watcher explained, "You know, most magic weapons from ancient times, especially powerful ultimate weapons, taboo secret treasures, etc., have set up restrictions and seals, and they need to detect the master's genes to unlock them. My mother has this kind of talented magical power, linking genetics, bans and magic weapons unlocking fields, solving countless problems, and awakening countless ancient secret treasures that have been sleeping for billions of years.

"Although she is busy with work, she still strives to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother and wife during her limited time to maintain the harmony and happiness of the family. I remember that at that time she often brought some magic weapons with brilliant skills and exquisite points to me as a toy. Her relationship with my father is also considered to be a deep love. This kind of love and joyful relationship is very rare in the City of Silver.

"I know what you want to ask. When I just analyzed the profile of human civilization you transmitted, I found that human civilization also had the technology of "sealing emotions and will" like the Pangu civilization in the past. But to be honest, your technology is just like the Pangu techniques outside, but it is a misguided direction and has gone to the direction of completely killing imagination and creativity. It is basically a spiritual suicide.

"The 'spirit seal' technology we use in the ancient ruins is more delicate, more exquisite, and has fewer side effects. Even while sealing some emotional areas, it will also activate the activities of another emotional area to the greatest extent, just like stimulating 'love' to the limit to fight against the 'confusion' and 'fear' when we face the vast unknown.

"For my father, he condensed his deep love for his mother and me into a spiritual 'armor', or even a 'sharp sword'. In this way, he can support him to move forward alone on the endless road of exploration. Mother and me are his spiritual pillars and also the symbol of the 'home' he has never seen before.

“But that morning, his spiritual pillar collapsed halfway.

"I can't tell how things happened. In short, my parents were conducting research in their respective fields that day. My mother got a magic weapon from the 'Black Iron Civilization', which seemed to be a box. Judging from our previous exploration of the 'Black Iron Civilization', as well as the location of the box and the corpses scattered around, it should not be a crucial and extremely dangerous super magic weapon, so after my mother carried out regular protection, she began routine research and unlocking.

"Unexpectedly, just as she deciphered the genetic code of the sealing box and uncovered the box, a black light burst out from the box, covering her, wrapping her tightly and airtightly.

"When rescuers and the therapists arrived, the black light had been absorbed by my mother's pores and scales, turning her into a vivid and lifelike black iron statue.

"My mother died like this, or she fell into a state that was more unacceptable than death.

"My father's spirit was almost broken. For three or five days, he was crazy and kept saying that his mother was not dead. The "black box" was clearly the healing weapon of the "black iron civilization". The black iron civilization is the most strange type of carbon-based intelligent life. Their concept of time and even the definition of life are all different from the other ninety-nine ancient civilizations. My mother is still alive, but her metabolism speed has dropped to the lowest level and entered a mysterious "super hibernation state". She can still perceive all information from the outside world and act freely and express her thoughts, but it is just a speed of billions of times slower than normal people.

"So, my father was like a ferocious beast with bloody eyes, roaring and not letting someone dissect his mother's body, and he was even more reluctant to burn and bury his mother. He moved his mother's body, that is, the black iron statue, back home, and stood next to his sleeping cabin. He also put on the statue's favorite clothes when he was alive. Every day when he returned home, he would lean his head on the statue and say a lot of words, just like his mother was still alive.

"Even though I was still a ignorant child at that time, even though strange and horrifying things happened every day in the ancient ruins of Silver City, the degree of this incident's mental impact on me is still unparalleled.

"When my father muttered to his mother's black iron statue again in the dead of night, I finally couldn't stand it anymore. He cried and asked his father to tell me everything. After a long silence, he finally sighed and satisfied my request."

Li Yao was surprised and sighed when he heard this. Until now, he was excited and knew that the most core secret was next.

Sure enough, the brain waves from the moon-looking man instantly became several times stronger, and the information flow carrying astronomical numbers continued to flow into Li Yao's brain.

"The origin of everything starts with the great expedition when the Pangu civilization returned in a long, long time ago."

The moon-looking man said, "I found that you humans already know the existence of the 'black wall', 'multiverse' and 'Great Expedition', which can save a lot of time, starting directly from the 'return of a miserable' part.

"Yes, that great expedition was not a complete failure in tactical terms. We verified that the so-called "black wall" is not endless, but has thickness and limits that can be crossed.

"After crossing the black wall, we encountered the extremely vicious Hongchao Legion, but we also used all our wisdom and courage to defeat the enemy, and even captured many of the enemy's starships, and had the opportunity to analyze a large number of technologies to improve our civilization.

"War is originally the highest form of communication. All the soldiers of the Pangu civilization are never afraid of any kind of war. Such challenges alone will never curb our pace of progress.

“But, after discovering the ancient ruins on the way back, everything became different.

"The creator of the black wall of the original ancestor, Hong Chao, even the original ancestor, had to fear, and there were also the "ultimate test" that had not been passed by a hundred ancient civilizations, and the terror of the understatement that these ancient civilizations were silently annihilated in the long river of time... Compared with all this, what is the tactical victory we just achieved?

"As I said just now, after realizing how vast, vast, powerful and terrifying the real multiverse is, some people cannot bear such huge pressure, mentally collapsed, and fell into madness.

"Even people who are strong willpower and have not yet collapsed, they are like headless flies that are being held upside down by a large glass jar, buzzing around and unable to find a way out.

"Only a very small number of wise leaders and extremely calm iron-blooded elites have come to the conclusion after a long thought that ancient ruins are our only hope. We have no choice but to walk on the road to destruction that a hundred ancient civilizations have walked past, covered with thorns and flames.

“The truth is obvious.

"The super-speed development of Pangu civilization has already brought resource consumption to the limit that Pangu universe can bear. This great expedition was originally intended to go to places outside Pangu universe and find a new way out.

"Since we have not found a way out, the Pangu Civilization Alliance, which was originally a combination of thirteen different carbon-based intelligent lives, is facing a fall apart and killing each other. If everyone cannot see hope, the doomsday we created ourselves will come before the flood tide arrives.

"If we can unearth all the secrets of ancient ruins, completely overthrow the 'black wall', and release the countless abundant worlds that have been hidden for billions of years, then the glory of Pangu civilization can burn at least billions of years.

"Let's take a step back, even if we can't find the real answer to the ancient ruins for the time being, the 100 ancient civilizations that have explored here are one hundred pioneers. The weapons, magic weapons, technology, corpses and civilization relics they left behind are also of great benefit to our civilization and can help Pangu civilization extend its survival time as much as possible.

"Besides, the Expeditionary Fleet captured a large number of Hongchao Legion and their starships outside the black wall. Before deeply analyzing and figuring out all the secrets contained in the Hongchao Legion, these things cannot be brought back to the densely populated core area of ​​civilization. They can only find an isolated place for research. In this way, if they lose control, the degree of loss can be limited to the minimum.

"So, the expeditionary fleet was divided into two groups, and some of the most elite soldiers and explorers stayed there. On the sites of the forward bases left by 100 ancient civilizations, we established our own forward base, which is what you call the "Silver City". After the other part of the expeditionary forces returned to their hometown, they also recruited personnel on a large scale, and organized hundreds of the most elite experts and scholars of the Pangu civilization, as well as authorities in biology, archaeology, energy science, cosmology and other fields, incognito, left their hometown and came here.

"From the first day of coming here, these experts and scholars and their families knew very well that it would be difficult to have the opportunity to return to their hometown in this life.

"On the one hand, the research task is too vast and heavy, and there are too many treasures worth their life to dig, so we can't even study it.

"On the other hand, too many secrets hidden in ancient ruins, and viruses and genetic weapons that are very likely to lurk deep in cells are not suitable for being exposed to by the vast majority of people. Once the secrets or viruses spread, it will only accelerate the destruction of the entire civilization.

"For safety reasons, after accepting dozens of experts and scholars, the City of Silver was sealed and turned into a mysterious and unique isolation area, which was called the "Immortal Palace" by researchers and senior officials who know the inside story."
