Global Exploration: Starting from Decrypting Chernobyl

127: War between civilizations! Prophecy of change! 6500, more“...”

“Holy crap...”

After a long while, looking at the kneeling skeletons... looking at Hernando, who was timidly kneeling before Wu Tian, looking up at Wu Tian as if he were his father!

The fatty’s mouth hung open.

He rushed to Wu Tian’s side in a flash, extending his thick hands and incessantly patting Wu Tian up and down.

“Boss...”

“This is outrageous, what’s going on with you?”

“Ascension to heaven in broad daylight?”

“Or have you rediscovered your past and present life?”

“...”

Slap!

Wu Tian frowned and slapped away the fatty’s plump hand, listening to Narrator-kun’s voice in his mind.

“A Divine Soul is inherently invincible, why borrow another’s bones!”

“You picked up a cursed aztec gold coin, but inadvertently awakened your past life’s Divine Soul. Although the owner of this Divine Soul is currently unknown, you have gained a Golden Talent due to this shallow awakening!”

“Calm the Six Directions: Within a hundred-meter radius, none are not my subjects!”

“Note: The awakening period is seven days. The countdown will begin when the host acquires this Talent!”

“Remaining Talent usage time: 6 days 23 hours 59 minutes!”

...“Hiss...”

Listening to Narrator-kun’s sweet voice in his mind, Wu Tian unconsciously clicked his tongue.

He looked at the fatty and Zhang Meng beside him.

“What...”

“What happened?”

The fatty was stunned.

Seeing Wu Tian’s pained expression, he scratched his head, somewhat puzzled, and asked.

“A Golden Legend, Boss!”

“This is good news!”

“Why do you look like that?”

“...”

Wu Tian was startled, then after pondering for a long time, he slowly raised his head and tentatively asked the two in a soft voice.

“Um...”

“I said I was Qin Shi Huang in my previous life...”

“Do you believe me?”

“...”

As Wu Tian’s words fell, the whole scene suddenly became quiet. The fatty and Zhang Meng lowered their heads. One of them rubbed his chubby belly from left to right and then right to left.

The other put her hand in her mouth and bit at her dead skin.

But there was one action... they did in unison!

They were both trying hard to suppress the twitching of their shoulders, forcing themselves to look like they were deep in thought!

“Sigh...”

Seeing the actions of these two people.

Wu Tian gently shook his head.

“I knew you wouldn’t believe me!”

“I should have known...”

“I shouldn’t have said it!”

“...”

“I believe you!”

“Why wouldn’t I believe you?”

The purple flames in Hernando’s eyes burned fiercely, as if he wanted to burn a heart shape for Wu Tian, and he loudly agreed with Wu Tian in a very fawning tone!

“My Brother Tian just exuded such a strong imperial pressure, he must have been the King of your Dragon Country in his past life!”

“Called that what’s-his-name...”

A flicker of purple flame flashed in Hernando’s eye sockets.

“Right! Qin Shi Huang!”

“Hehe...”

“My Brother Tian must be the reincarnation of Qin Shi Huang!”

“Forget Qin Shi Huang!”

Hernando continued to flatter!

“Even if you said my Brother Tian was Qin Shi Huang’s father in his past life, I would believe it!”

“Hehe...”

“Absolutely!”

“...”

Wu Tian was startled, then his face darkened, and he was about to speak...

“...”

“Pfft, hahahaha...”

“This is too f***ing outrageous. Ying Zheng’s father, Ying Yiren?”

“Hahahahaha...”

The fatty laughed until he was out of breath.

“You little bastard, are you implying something?”

“Are you suggesting my Brother Tian has a short life?”

“Hahaha...”

Zhang Meng, beside him, also laughed until she was out of breath.

“Young man, you’ve been living under the sea for over five hundred years, why haven’t you bothered to read some books?”

“Oh, I’m sorry!”

Zhang Meng covered her mouth and chuckled.

“I forgot this is underwater, you can’t read books!”

“Sigh...”

“It’s truly a disadvantage to be uncultured!”

Hernando: “...”

“Am I wrong?”

“Isn’t Qin Shi Huang’s father stronger than Qin Shi Huang?”

“...”

Hernando awkwardly scratched his bald head, the purple flames in his eyes flickering cautiously.

He felt a little bit wronged.

“...”

“Get the f*** out of here!”

Wu Tian’s face darkened.

“If you don’t understand, don’t talk nonsense!”

“It’s better for you to shut up than anything else!”

“...”

...“Hahahaha...”

“Brothers, this Hernando has something going on. Honestly, he’s truly a master of flattery!”

“He hits the mark every time!”

“True master of flattery!”

“However, this person is also quite pitiful...”

“Sigh!”

“Five hundred years, and he hasn’t even read a single book, it’s simply too tragic! (Witty)”

“...”

“But I just heard that deep voice, it seemed to say... My King, Calm the Six Directions...”

“Calm the Six Directions...”

“This... besides my Zheng Ge, there should be no one else, right?”

“Could it be that my Brother Tian’s past life really was Qin Shi Huang?”

“Nonsense!”

“If it’s not my Zheng Ge, could it be his short-lived father?”

“[Ying Yiren: I feel offended, thank you!]”

“Hiss...”

“The more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes!”

“...”

While the bullet comments were frantically mocking Hernando for being uncultured and heatedly guessing who Wu Tian’s previous life was... Wu Tian gave Hernando an exasperated glare.

Then he squatted down and rummaged through the stone chest.

“Your chest is quite large.”

“Besides these gold coins, are there any other things inside?”

Wu Tian asked Hernando behind him while rummaging.

“Uh...”

Hernando was startled.

Then he replied in a low voice.

“Yes...”

“There are actually some miscellaneous bits and pieces in here, but they’re all useless, and...”

“I don’t understand them either!”

“Hehe...”

“Lord Wu Tian, do you want to see them?”

“Hmm?”

Wu Tian’s eyes immediately widened when he heard that there were indeed things inside, and Hernando didn’t understand them...

He became interested!

“Holy crap, why wouldn’t we look?”

“We must look! We must look!”

“We only want to see what you don’t understand!”

“Come on, hurry up!”

“You go through them yourself, take everything out.”

“Hehe...”

Hernando: “...” Although he felt his personality and intelligence had been insulted, one must bow one’s head when under another’s roof. Hernando still obediently bent down and began to rummage through the chest of gold coins, one by one.

Whoosh!

A parchment scroll was thrown out of the chest by him!

Clunk!

A dull blue glass was thrown out by Hernando!

Then... rustle, rustle... one by one, the fragments were found by Hernando with increasing speed.

They were thrown at everyone’s feet.

“Phew...”

He let out a soft breath.

Hernando, with purple flames dancing in his eyes, stood up from the ground and grinned at Wu Tian.

“Done!”

“Everything I’ve collected over these five hundred years is all here!”

“Brother Tian, take a look!”

“Take whatever you like, don’t be polite with me.”

“...”

“Hmm...”

Wu Tian nodded, pushing Hernando aside with one hand.

He murmured in a low voice.

“I wasn’t planning to be polite with you, get lost!”

“Thank you!”

...The things on the ground weren’t many, but their variety certainly opened Wu Tian’s eyes.

There were colorful bikinis.

Turtle shells, huge colorful seashells, black pearls, a dull Rolex watch, and even a few dog-head gold nuggets and a dozen extremely precious silver notes!

Whoosh... whoosh!

He pushed these useless items aside.

Wu Tian separated two seemingly useful items from the pile.

One was a rolled-up parchment scroll whose color had faded to almost pure white, and the other was a dull, irregularly shaped blue glass!

He laid these out on the ground in front of him.

Wu Tian waved to Zhang Meng and the fatty behind him.

“Come quickly!”

“Zhang Meng, you have some research in history and writing, come and help me see.”

“What is written on this parchment scroll!”

“And...”

“This blue glass... seems to have some significance!”

“Let’s study it too!”

“...”

“Coming!”

Zhang Meng and the fatty hurried over, squatting down on either side of Wu Tian.

Immediately, Zhang Meng reached out and picked up the parchment scroll from the ground.

But... when she felt the texture of the parchment scroll, and combined it with the color of the parchment scroll... Zhang Meng’s expression quickly became serious.

She said in a low tone.

“This...”

“This parchment scroll... is not right!”

“...”

“What’s not right about it?”

The fatty chuckled.

He said flirtatiously.

“Could it be that this parchment is from a small piece of a sheep’s testicle, so it’s a little off?”

“...”

“Get the f*** out of here!”

Zhang Meng rolled her eyes at the fatty.

She turned her head, her expression serious for a few breaths, looking at the parchment scroll, and gently stroked it with her hand.

“Although it’s underwater, this parchment scroll seems a bit too ancient.”

“This degree of wear and tear...”

“Even with the sealed protection of the seawater, its surface texture already feels somewhat granular.”

“I’m afraid if I were to crumple it now...”

“This parchment scroll would turn to dust!”

“...”

“That exaggerated?”

“It’s weathered even in the sea?”

“...”

Wu Tian and the fatty were both stunned at the same time.

Even Hernando, who dared not speak beside them, opened his mouth wide and let out a surprised gasp!

“Outrageous!”

...“Then...”

Wu Tian’s eyes moved.

“Can you estimate how old this parchment scroll is?”

“Hmm...”

Zhang Meng bit her finger, frowning and pondering.

After a long while.

Zhang Meng extended a finger to everyone with a serious expression.

“...Uh, a hundred years?”

The fatty was startled.

Zhang Meng slowly shook her head.

“Hehe...”

“How could it be such a short time, my beautiful lady, is it not...”

“A thousand years?”

Hernando smiled awkwardly.

He asked Zhang Meng.

“...”

“No!”

Zhang Meng still shook her head.

“Could it be...”

Wu Tian’s eyes lit up.

“Ten thousand years?!”

“...Yes!”

Zhang Meng took a deep breath and nodded heavily at Wu Tian.

“It’s ten thousand years!”

“And...”

Zhang Meng said with an unusually serious expression.

“This is only a rough time estimate. As for whether it’s a thousand years more or a thousand years less, that’s unknown. We can only wait until we open this scroll to see.”

“Only then will we have a chance to deduce the era from the content...”

“To deduce the era!”

“...”

“Then...”

“What are we waiting for?”

The fatty looked impatiently at the parchment scroll in Zhang Meng’s hand and said to her.

“Open it!”

“Show us, what’s written inside!”

“Maybe…”

The Fatty rubbed his hands excitedly.

“We might even inadvertently change existing history!”

“Heh heh…”

“…”

“Hmm!”

Zhang Meng nodded. Under everyone’s expectant and nervous gazes, she reached out and untied the ribbon binding the parchment scroll, then carefully and slowly unrolled it on the stone ground… As the entire scroll gradually opened… a strange, uniquely shaped script, unknown to anyone, appeared before their eyes.

Wu Tian frowned immediately.

“Why does this look somewhat like our Dragon Country’s oracle bone script?”

“It seems…”

“Is it a script invented based on shapes?”

“No way…”

The Fatty was stunned.

“How come everything discovered is from your Dragon Country? When will it be our Ulan Country’s turn?”

“Stop babbling!”

Wu Tian rolled his eyes at the Fatty.

“How many years has your Ulan Country existed?”

“Has it been ten thousand years?”

The Fatty: …

“That’s right…”

At this moment, Zhang Meng, who had been studying it for a long time, spoke up.

“This script is indeed as Brother Tian said; it was created based on the shapes of all things. In our Dragon Country, we call it oracle bone script!”

“In ancient Egypt, it’s hieroglyphs; Sumerian script; and in ancient A-San Country, it’s ancient A-San script!”

“So this is…”

Wu Tian pointed at the characters on the parchment scroll and asked.

“These are hieroglyphs!”

“Then you…”

Wu Tian looked at Zhang Meng, scratching his head in frustration.

“I recognize them!”

Zhang Meng nodded in confirmation.

“Phew…”

Wu Tian finally let out a sigh of relief and gave Zhang Meng an expectant look, then sat cross-legged on the ground.

He smiled eagerly at her.

“Dr. Zhang, begin your performance!”

“…”

She glared at Wu Tian unhappily.

Zhang Meng lowered her head and began to seriously translate the contents of the parchment scroll!

As Zhang Meng’s brow furrowed slightly.

Her low voice, transmitted through the deep-diving equipment’s intercom, resonated in everyone’s ears.

“This scroll seems to record a war triggered by something!”

“Let me see…”

“Mayan civilization, and also…”

“Atlantis civilization?!”

“…”

“Holy crap?!”

Zhang Meng was dumbfounded.

“The amount of information on this tiny parchment scroll is a bit overwhelming. Don’t rush, don’t rush, give me some time to carefully translate all the content on it!”

Zhang Meng looked at the Fatty gravely.

“I’m afraid…”

“You really hit the nail on the head!”

“This small parchment scroll, I’m afraid the things recorded on it really are enough to change the history of the world!”

“…”

As ten minutes slowly passed.

The hieroglyphs on the parchment scroll were translated one by one by Zhang Meng!

In the expectant gazes of everyone.

Zhang Meng began to speak again.

“The time…”

“Should be exactly 12,000 years ago!”

…12,000 years ago, a wise man was born in the Mayan civilization of Central America. This wise man perfected the five previous prophecies about the world!

The First Sun Cycle, Matlactli Atl, also known as the Gandaya civilization, would be destroyed by a great flood.

The Second Sun Cycle, Ehecatl, also known as the Mesopotamian civilization, occurred in Antarctica and was destroyed by a shift in the Earth’s magnetic poles.

The Third Sun Cycle, Quiyahuitl, also known as the Muria civilization, would be destroyed by continental submersion and so on.

The Fourth Sun Cycle, Tzontlilic, also known as the Atlantis civilization, would be destroyed by earthquakes caused by a rain of fire, and then submerged by seawater!

The Fifth Sun Cycle began in the Mayan calendar year 3113, and after the Mayan Great Cycle of 5125 years, it would enter a new civilization, which is… December 21, 2012!

However… after perfecting these previous prophecies, this wise man, not content, began to deduce the survival of his own civilization!

That is… when the Mayan civilization would perish!

This deduction was not trivial… The wise man received a piece of news that left him dumbfounded and in constant dread!

The Mayan civilization… would be destroyed before the Atlantis civilization!

The reason was… the Atlantis disaster caused a global surge in seawater, and their Mayan civilization, located in a low-lying basin, would be the first to be engulfed by the seawater!

All Mayans would be drowned alive by the seawater!

Yet the Atlantis civilization, because of a treasure!

Allowed them to linger underwater!

Surviving until the end of the Fifth Sun Cycle!

“…”

After this prophecy was announced by the wise man, the entire Mayan civilization fell into panic. The Council of Elders urgently convened a meeting to discuss solutions!

Some believed that the most pressing matter was to quickly leave this place and find a location that would not be affected by the tsunami.

Others, however, believed that the supreme power of nature was infinite.

There was no place in this world that could avoid a tsunami.

Therefore… they proposed… to destroy the Atlantis civilization in advance and seize their treasure!

To add a layer of insurance for the survival of the Mayans!

However… this proposal was fiercely opposed by the first group of people!

Then!

The two factions argued endlessly!

One side believed the other was too cruel, willing to kill others for their own survival.

The other side believed these people were too sanctimonious; their own lives were almost lost.

Why care if others could survive?

Ultimately, the wise man chose to let all the elders present vote to decide!

“Alas…”

Speaking of this.

Zhang Meng sighed softly.

“I suppose everyone knows the outcome; the faction that proposed to destroy the Atlantis civilization in advance won the dispute by a narrow margin of one vote!”

“Next…”

“It was a conspiracy, and a brutal war!”

Zhang Meng sighed.

“Finally, the more powerful Mayans defeated the peace-loving Atlanteans.”

“And…”

“They feared these Atlanteans would return for revenge, and in the end…”

Zhang Meng bit her back molars.

She said hoarsely.

“All the Atlanteans…”

“Were massacred!”

“And…”

“They built a Crystal Energy Pyramid on the ruins of Atlantis to enshrine the treasure!”

“Waiting for the natural disaster to descend!”

…As Zhang Meng’s words fell, Wu Tian and the Fatty, and even Hernando next to them, fell into a brief daze.

“Mayan civilization…”

“Destroyed the Atlantis civilization?”

“And…”

“It was to seize a treasure?”

After a long while… the Fatty finally asked in disbelief.

“Hmm…”

Zhang Meng nodded.

“It’s recorded as such on this parchment scroll, so it should… should be fine!”

“In other words…”

Wu Tian’s eyes flickered.

He said in a deep voice.

“The Mayan civilization destroyed the Atlantis civilization for survival, and they ultimately got the treasure of the Atlantis civilization as they wished!”

“And that treasure could theoretically allow the former Atlanteans to live until the end of the Fifth Sun Cycle!”

“That is…”

Wu Tian raised an eyebrow.

“2012?”

“I didn’t remember incorrectly, did I?!”

“…”

“No… you didn’t!”

Zhang Meng slowly nodded.

“Then the problem arises!”

Wu Tian’s frown deepened!

“That treasure that could theoretically allow the Mayans to live until 2012 should be in the Pyramid, right? A bold guess, could it even be that sea-blue token with unreadable characters?”

“But…”

Wu Tian gently tapped the stone ground.

“Where are the Mayans?”

“The Crystal Pyramid that specifically absorbs energy is still there, and the treasure is still there!”

“Where are the Mayans?”

“…”

“Perhaps…”

The Fatty scratched his head.

“They went out to buy groceries?”

Zhang Meng: … Wu Tian: …

“If you spout any more nonsense, do you believe I’ll strip off your diving suit?”

Wu Tian cursed at the Fatty with a dark face.

“Heh heh…”

The Fatty gave an awkward laugh.

“Actually, I was just joking, heh heh…”

“What I really wanted to say is, should we go take a look near that Crystal Pyramid?”

“Maybe we’ll find something new?”

“…”

“No, I don’t think so…”

Hernando was startled by the words, then used his bony hand to scratch his bald skull, saying to Wu Tian and the others.

“I’ve observed all around the Crystal Pyramid.”

“Besides a small blue token in the middle, there’s only a giant black hole stuck on its top.”

“There were no other discoveries!”

“Then…”

Wu Tian was about to speak when Narrator-kun’s voice echoed in his mind again.

【After you obtained the parchment scroll, you roughly understood the truth from ten thousand years ago, but one thing remains unclear…】

【Where did these Mayans, who usurped the nest, go?】

【Did they truly survive?】

【With these doubts, you turned your attention to the only remaining clue here that you haven’t closely examined—the underwater Crystal Pyramid. You feel that seeing this Pyramid with your own eyes might lead to different discoveries!】

【The black hole… might not just be a black hole!】

…“Let’s go!”

“Since this Pyramid is the most mysterious and crucial object in this whole incident, we still need to go and see it!”

“Little He!”

Wu Tian waved at Hernando.

“Lead the way!”

“Let’s go!”

“…Alright!”

Hernando reluctantly agreed, leading Wu Tian and the other two towards the Crystal Pyramid not far away.

And just as everyone embarked on their journey.

No one knew… in the parchment scroll that Zhang Meng had closed, the painting foretelling the demise of the Mayans… quietly changed!

Vaguely, it seemed to be three people in strange attire, leading a group of skeletons!

Surrounding the Mayan royal city… completely!
