Chapter 250 The Mystery of the End of the World

Soon, the two came to the foot of the mountain. In front of them was an extremely spacious building, which seemed to be the residence of the great elder.

After Lin Mu explained his intention to the guard, the guard took him and Bai Ye directly to meet the great elder.

This great elder is very old, with drooped white eyebrows and a face full of wrinkles. But Bai Ye can feel that his power is very strong and he can definitely reach the level of the universe's virtual spirit.

The great elder's voice was kind: "Hello, outsider, we haven't had outsiders come to our village for a while."

Lin Mu said: "Great Elder, this outsider named Bai Ye can actually speak ancient languages!"

The great elder was startled, his lowered eyelids suddenly raised, and he said in Chinese: "You...you can speak ancient language?"

Bai Ye nodded: "Yes."

The great elder couldn't help but stand up from his seat and took half a step forward: "Where did you learn this ancient language? How much do you know about ancient language? Can you understand the ancient civilization's words?"

"Well……"

Bai Ye was still thinking about how to answer, but the great elder waved his hand again and said: "It doesn't matter where you learned it from. Outsiders, since you can speak ancient proverbs, can you do us a favor?"

Bai Ye asked: "What are you busy with?"

The great elder said: "Outsiders, come with me."

After the great elder finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the depths of the building.

Bai Ye followed behind, and he found that the great elder passed through the building and came to a cave.

This cave is at the foot of the hill, and after entering from the entrance, it continues to wind downwards, and finally reaches a cave.

"This is..." Bai Ye looked at the scene in the cave. There was nothing strange about it, except... the huge metal door directly opposite.

Next to the metal door, there is another metal plate with Chinese characters written on it.

The Great Elder turned to Bai Ye and said, "Outsiders, this is our holy mountain. According to legend, our ancestors were born here."

"Holy Mountain?" Bai Ye was stunned.

The Great Elder nodded: "That's right. You should have seen the divine edict next to the God's Gate. To be honest, although I know a little about ancient proverbs, there are several key points in this divine edict. I don’t understand, so I want to ask you to read it.”

After the great elder finished speaking, he stepped aside.

Bai Ye came to the metal plate and found that there was a passage written in Chinese.

"A disaster of intelligent machines is about to sweep the entire world. Humanity is at its wits' end and can only hope for a new life after destruction."

“We plant the seeds of civilization and hope that it will take root again tens of millions of years later.”

"When you walk out of here, it means the rebirth of civilization. I hope you can learn from it and never make the same mistakes as us."

The Great Elder looked at Bai Ye expectantly: "Outsiders, can you understand the words above? I don't know much about ancient proverbs. I can only read it. A mechanical disaster is coming. Humanity is helpless, but the most critical thing behind it is But I can’t read the part.”

"Did God say how to escape the catastrophe? Why did God say not to make the same mistake?"

Bai Ye was silent for a moment and said, "If I guess correctly, this shouldn't be God's prophecy."

The great elder was stunned: "Isn't it a prophecy?"

Bai Ye nodded: "Well, it's not a prophecy, it's a message. What it says here is not what will happen in the future, but what has happened in the past."

The great elder was shocked and said: "H-How do you say this?"

Bai Ye translated the entire text into the universal language.

The great elder was stunned, and after a moment he murmured: "How is it possible? This, this doesn't make sense..."

The great elder didn't understand, but Bai Ye understood.

After reading this passage, part of Bai Ye's mystery about this world was solved.

The great elder can be said to be a fan of the authorities. He preconceivedly regarded this passage as an oracle and thought that this passage spoke of what would happen in the future. But after Bai Ye read the entire text, he was sure that this passage was about the past.

Obviously, the scenario simulated here is the end of the world. The destruction of the world is caused by a disaster of intelligent machinery.

In the face of this disaster, ancient humans were defeated in the battle with intelligent machines, and the entire civilization was exterminated. But they found a way to leave the seeds of civilization, and this is how later humans came to be, people like the Great Elder and Lin Mu.

Obviously, ancient humans are highly similar to the Chinese people, and even their languages ​​​​and characters are almost exactly the same. But Bai Ye didn't know why there was such a coincidence.

Moreover, the statement above about “taking a lesson and not making the same mistake again” is also unclear. What kind of error is it? How do intelligent machines defeat humans? Don't know anything.

Bai Ye looked at the metal door: "I think there are some secrets hidden behind this door."

The great elder shook his head and said: "That is the door of God, and mortals cannot open it."

Bai Ye came to the door and knocked lightly. The entire door was made of special materials, and there were extremely powerful space laws around the door, which blocked everything inside the door and made it impossible to enter by teleportation.

However, Bai Ye was confident that he could use brute force to break it open.

"I think you can give it a try." Bai Ye said, raising his fist.

The great elder was startled and quickly stopped him: "Stop, outsider! God's Gate cannot be desecrated!"

Bai Ye asked: "Don't you want to see what's behind the door?"

The great elder looked excited: "Outsiders! The Gate of God may be the door connecting the human world and the divine world. If violence is used to provoke divine punishment, it may bring disaster to our entire village!"

Bai Ye curled her lips, a little speechless.

Of course he didn't believe a word of this theory about gods and ghosts. It was obvious that this was just a relic of ancient humans. As a result, the great elder actually regarded it as a miracle and even made up a set of etiquette for gods.

However, Bai Ye had no doubt that the Great Elder would fight for him if he forced the door through, so he forgot about it for the time being. It would be the same when he had time to dig in secretly from behind the mountain later.

When the great elder saw Bai Ye lowering his fist, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief: "Outsiders, you told us God's will, thank you very much. But God cannot be blasphemed, I hope you can understand."

Bai Ye nodded: "Yes, I understand."

In fact, I was thinking: "Damn, I'm retarded."

The great elder said: "Outsiders, you have worked so hard for coming so far. All outsiders are God's guests. Please rest in the village for a day. I will arrange for someone to entertain you."

Bai Ye nodded: "Okay, thank you very much."

Having said that, Bai Ye was a little worried. These intelligent beings only looked like humans in appearance, but were actually machines. What will they entertain themselves with? Could it be parts and energy cores?
