Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

When in the Goblin Maze, Yang Yu had seen a pattern resembling the System Development Tree.

At that time, each end of the System Development Tree had a raised white line, as if the System Development Tree was emitting a flawless light.

Additionally, there was a light sphere floating outside the System Development Tree.

If the light originated from Magic Power, what did the floating light cluster represent?

The startup screen of the wireless communication devices used by the Luo Ze Empire also featured a similar... no, it should be the same System Development Tree.

Indeed...

This world was not like this from the very beginning.

Gazing at the empty glass box, Yang Yu pondered for a long time.

Luca, an ancient ancestor that no one had ever seen.

Someone went to the trouble of leaving such a fossil exhibition platform in this area, leaving such a position in the center of the exhibition platform...

What significant role did Luca hold in their civilization?

Can I also listen to the elegy from the Ancient Civilization?

Yang Yu still does not know.

”Yang Yu, are you okay?”

Hearing Bai Jin call his name, Yang Yu shifted his gaze from the glass box and replied with a smile:

”I’m fine. It’s just a very unique feeling, perhaps the remnants on me resonated with this place.”

”What!” Lutte Ais exclaimed excitedly, grabbing Yang Yu’s shoulder, ”I can’t pretend I didn’t hear that. Tell me in detail, what exactly did you feel?”

Yang Yu evasively replied: ”As if I crossed through time and space... and saw some things from the past.”

”What did you see?” Lutte Ais eagerly pursued the question.

Yang Yu continued to provide an ambiguous answer: ”After watching, the memory suddenly blurred... but I remember seeing the original appearance of this world.”

”Is that so...”

Lutte Ais calmed down, released his grip, and sighed longingly,

”I am also deeply attracted by this relic.

I want to know if these things were really made by humans of the past? Why is this relic here? Why did past technology not continue to this day?

I want to know more whys...

But these enigmas, in my decades of work, I found not a single trace towards an answer...

I do not know why you were chosen by the relic, but there must be a reason you were chosen.

Perhaps, you can understand why these relics exist...

Perhaps, you can solve some of the problems that have puzzled me for so long in my lifetime.

Now let’s go elsewhere and see if you can resonate with other things in the relic.”

Lutte Ais, with a burst of renewed spirit, urged Yang Yu and the others to move on to the next place, also handing Yang Yu a map of the relic site, detailing the distribution of various passages and the depths of each.

The relic buried underground is extremely vast, and even with decades of exploration, the Luo Ze Empire has only seen the tip of the iceberg, with many mysteries remaining unsolved.

Walking through one open area after another, the futuristic technology brushed past Yang Yu’s eyes, and he even saw the prototype of the cannon on the Sailuomen Plain.

Yang Yu deliberately acted indifferent, claiming that the special feeling no longer existed.

Lutte Ais’ excitement gradually diminished, as he led Yang Yu and the others to the last area open for viewing.

”This is the last place I can take you.

Sadly, I cannot guide you through the entire relic.

Some areas belong to other research institutes.

Those guys, where relic research should be a collaborative effort, constantly exchanging information and solving puzzles, instead they divide areas and work independently...

There is nothing we can do.

Not everyone respects the relic as we do; some prioritize reputation and power more.

With your status, you can pass, but it might involve some hassle.

If you feel anything again, I hope you won’t concern yourself with boundaries and come to find me.”

Lutte Ais scratched his head, then laughed awkwardly:

”Just kidding. Don’t take it seriously.”

There seemed to be a bit of discord among the research institutes, but Yang Yu did not delve deeper.

Upon entering the final viewing point, he was greeted by a dense array of researchers. Besides those in white robes, others wore blue, red, and black, all fumbling with various sparking screens, recording each step of their operation, one page after the other as the recorded screen content revealed itself.

This was a joint project of multiple research institutes, comprising the largest team of liaisons.

Liaisons used Surveillance Magic to monitor various parts of the relic, confirming the choices made here would impact the relic accordingly. If any abnormalities were found, they would immediately advise canceling operations.

What the researchers were doing was akin to opening file after file on a computer, recording every process down to the last directory.

Watching the researchers document those images, Yang Yu inexplicably felt sympathy.

Quite clumsy and inefficient.

In such a knowledge-scarce environment, they even tinkered with wireless communication, and Yang Yu was unsure whether to call them impressive.

With Lutte Ais’ consent, Yang Yu picked up a freshly recorded manuscript.

As he read, Yang Yu discovered some peculiar characters in these manuscripts, matching them with pages from the Lux Maze.

The language used by the ”brain of the relic” was identical to the text on those pages.

No wonder Emperor Luo Hui had such faith in the content of the relic.

To them, this relic seemed like a divine miracle.

Paper written in the same language was also like some form of divine oracle.

Carefully putting away the pages, Yang Yu returned the manuscript to a researcher.

Lutte Ais invited Yang Yu to advance to operate the apparatus, but Yang Yu decisively refused.

With his luck, it’s impossible for a blind cat to stumble upon a dead mouse; it would only lead to a series of trouble.

Lutte Ais shook his head in disappointment once again and said:

”You’ve been touring for a long time, and we’ve seen everywhere we could. After returning, I’ll show you some of our research.

Yang Yu nodded in agreement, taking out a string of names, informing Lutte Ais that he had other tasks to attend to during this visit.

He hoped Lutte Ais would assemble the people on the list so Yang Yu could individually assess if there were any abnormalities among them.

Noticing the Second Prince’s signature on the list, Lutte Ais immediately proceeded.

Sure enough, there had been Enchanting Demon infiltration in the relic, but they seemingly caught wind of something beforehand and disappeared without a trace, leaving Yang Yu empty-handed.

Strangely, the Enchanting Demons had not taken anything from the relic.

Yang Yu sighed, assuming the same situation occurred at other research institutes, reluctantly placing the Second Prince’s list at the bottom of the items column.

Lutte Ais scratched his head, ”I’ve finished showing you the relics, now it’s time to visit the laboratories. With so many laboratories to visit one by one, it will consume considerable time. Those places don’t have such convenient light platforms.”

Pretending to ponder for a moment, Yang Yu replied: ”Just show me the things that can still self-repair after being moved out of the relic.”
