"It's a portal!"

In the central area of ​​Zhuoyan District, in an underground cave.

Li Guanqi and Sophia came here and looked at the scene in front of them. Both of them had serious eyes and cheered up.

What they saw in front of them was completely reduced to a sea of ​​magma, without any rocks. There was just a large area of ​​extremely hot red magma. Bubbles swelled from time to time, and a piece of magma exploded, exuding scorching heat.

Deep in the magma, there is a huge space crack suspended in it, and the colorful brilliance in it is constantly twisting and changing.

"A very stable space rift, this is a portal."

Seeing this scene, Sophia made a judgment and said: "I have never been to the ancient ruins, but according to Karl's diary, this should be the entrance to the ancient ruins that the tauren said. Master..."

She turned to look at Li Guanqi, "The origin of the ice cube you are looking for should be inside."

"Okay, let's go then."

Li Guanqi's eyes were slightly focused, and a strong wind enveloped his body, carrying him across the magma sea and arriving in front of the space portal.

Sophia also flew over, half a body ahead of him, looked at him and asked: "Master, should I go in first to explore the way?"

"Let's go in together."

Li Guanqi moved and completely flew into this distorted colorful light, and the same happened to Sophia.

Soon, the two figures were completely engulfed by the colorful brilliance and disappeared.

…

…

"Um?"

After a period of dizziness, Li Guanqi opened his eyes again and was a little stunned when he saw the scene that came into view.

"This, this is ancient times..."

Sophia looked around with a shocked expression.

What appeared in front of them was a highly developed, but also deserted and dilapidated technological metropolis!

The two of them were standing on a concrete road. Parked on the roadside around them were cars that clearly did not belong to the 21st century, but the overall structure looked clearly similar to a car as a means of transportation.

Li Guanqi looked around and looked far away, and when he looked around, there were high-rise buildings everywhere. The glass surface reflected the sunlight in the distance, which made people feel a little dizzy... Hmm

?sun?

"The ancient ruins are half space, where does the sun come from?"

Li Guanqi finally discovered something was wrong.

He raised his head, pushed his eyesight to the extreme, and finally discovered that the blue "sky" was not the real sky, but just pieces of something similar to an LED screen.

The entire city is covered by a giant screen. The so-called sky is actually the picture of the screen - a mimic sky screen like the Dream Viewing Shelter.

But that "sun" is a little special.

According to Li Guanqi's observation, the "sun" is under the mimetic sky screen, which means that the sun is not a picture, but a real thing, a giant light ball that will shine.

"Master! What are those two big rings?!"

Suddenly, Sophia turned around, pointed at the sky behind, and shouted in shock.

Li Guanqi immediately looked over.

They were two giant suspended rings that were all silvery white and extremely huge. It was hard to estimate how many kilometers long they were. They overlapped each other and circled over the entire city, rotating at a slow speed. Such a huge thing was enough to make people feel uncomfortable.

Feeling a little bit of macrophobia.

"Sky ring..."

Li Guanqi couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.

"Sky ring?"

Hearing this, Sophia turned to look at him curiously, with a surprised look on her face, "What is that?"

"Its full name is the psionic sky ring. It is a psionic device...well, it should be said that it is the power source for the magic weapon."

Li Guanqi explained with a smile: "It can absorb the free spiritual energy in the world, and then condense it into spiritual power with extremely high conversion efficiency, and finally supply it to the magic tools of the whole city. In this way, the magic tools used by people,

You can be in a state of sufficient spiritual power at all times.”

The psychic sky ring, Han Mengyao's invention in the apocalyptic era, can be called the top "power station".

But this city should not be a refuge for dream watching.

After all, this thing is not unique to dream viewing shelters.

The last time Li Guanqi returned to reality, he went to the end of the world, which was a period of 100 extraordinary years. At that time, it was Lin Xianbai and him who allowed Han Mengyao to come out of the closed space of Guanmeng Shelter and return to the wasteland.

But in fact, Li Guanqi learned from Shunkong that in the normal historical trajectory of the strange world, although the process and methods were not recorded in detail, the result in the history books was that Han Mengyao finally returned to the wasteland on his own.

Her return allowed psychic technology to flourish.

Mimetic sky screens and psychic sky rings are both standard features in cities where psychic technology has developed to a later stage.

Of course there must be a simulated sky screen. After all, according to Shunkong, until 800 years ago in the Old Era, the gray radiation clouds covering the sky were a serious problem that could not be solved.

Who likes to look up and see a gray and oppressive gray radiation cloud?

Therefore, the city's simulated sky screen is essential.

As for the psychic sky ring, the necessity of this "power station" goes without saying. Without it, large-scale psychic technology in a city cannot operate normally.

It can be said that the emergence of the psionic sky ring is the basis for the vigorous development of psionic technology, because with it, large-scale psionic equipment can operate at all times.

Otherwise, psychic technology can only be limited to gadgets for personal use.

"Why didn't psychic sky rings appear in the New Age?"

Li Guanqi looked at the sky, looking at the two huge silver-white rings, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Don't the Daluo Dynasty like to use magic weapons? There are so many ancient ruins, but the Daluo Dynasty has not found a few psychic sky rings.

of?"

"It is the environmental issue of the new century."

At this time, Shunkong's voice appeared in his mind, "When I first woke up in the New Era ten years ago, I also had this doubt when I looked at the green and monotonous grasslands and the barren lion-headed tribes.

Why is there not even a small sky ring in the old lion king's territory at the Jiugong level?

So I asked the old Lion King.

And the answer he gave is exactly the same as the path to becoming a god.

I can't find out the reason, but it doesn't work.

As early as around the year 3200 of the New Era, the Daluo Dynasty built a giant space storage device with a vast internal space, then installed a psychic sky ring into the space storage device and moved it out.

However, the sky ring was still in good condition at the ancient ruins, but it became ineffective as soon as it was taken out.

What's even weirder is that when the sky ring is put back into the ancient ruins, it can be used again.

So the problem is obvious, it lies in the overall spatial environment of the outside world.

This is the same method as becoming a god.

The method of becoming a god is not a secret. I will be able to provide you with a bunch of methods to become a god when you, master, reach the ninth palace level. In fact, many of the ninth palace level and national rulers in the new era have mastered the methods of becoming a god.

But these methods are no longer meaningful.

Because since the New Age, no one can truly become a god. At most, they can barely become a demigod by relying on various strange methods, such as the Emperor of Daluo relying on national luck.

But why?

Demigod?

In the old era, there was no such level at all, and there was not even such a saying. Gods are gods, and those below gods are mortals. There is no intermediate stage.

Those who can become demigods are definitely qualified to become gods directly. It is impossible to get stuck in one breath.

Therefore, the failure to become a god in the New Age must not be a human problem or a matter of idleness, but purely a problem of the environment of the times.

But what went wrong?

I couldn't figure it out before, but if what Alton, the sheep-headed man, said is true, then I have a guess.

It's the Human Emperor.

The gods joined forces and could only barely seal Pluto at the cost of collective death, but the Human Emperor could die with him on his own?

The Human Emperor must have done something to this world to gain such powerful power.

The price of gaining power may be that there is some kind of problem with the world environment. This problem prevents Xin Ji from becoming a god. It also prevents the psychic sky ring invented by Vulcan from functioning properly, making the sky ring unable to be used in the outside world.

Hmm... After Ragnarok, the Human Emperor suddenly appeared and became the most powerful god in history, but no one in the future could become a god again?

If one person is full, he will not feed the people behind him?

Well, that's not quite right, after all, he also died with Pluto in the end.

Wait, it’s still wrong.”

At this point, Shunkong's tone became a little weird, "The Human Emperor and Pluto died together, which eliminated this major problem for the gods, but if the price is to completely cut off the path to becoming a god, then this behavior will have a negative impact on the world.
To be continued...
