Lily's departure was doomed, and this incident made Hao Ren understand more realistically: he would eventually finish this journey alone.Beyond the Battle of the Twilight of the Mythological Age in 44 BC, this journey back to the deepest part of history, in Hao Ren's eyes, the world of BC is becoming more and more bizarre, and his original historical knowledge has been subverted again and again in this long journey - it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy of human historical records, and even more so those involving the ancient age of the gods, too many supernatural traces and reality are interspersed, As a result, later historians who were more materialistic often chose to extract all the myths and legends involved in ancient books and leave them to religious scholars and mythologists to discuss, but for Hao Ren, those things that were eliminated by historians ......
It's all about him personally.He witnessed one ancient kingdom after another, not recorded in the history books, imbued with dark magical powers and indescribable otherworldly aura, some built on land floating in the sky and running on the power of the sun, while others were buried deep underground, drawing on the energy of magma and rock.Strange alien beings rule these bizarre city-states, they practice bizarre laws, they make rituals that seem unthinkable to modern humans, and humans - as slaves of these city-states, serve their alien masters for generations, and engage in endless wars with other "miracle cities".He also saw many real-life versions of mythology: on his second journey through the Mediterranean, he found Iason, under the guidance of Hesperius, and found Vivien's whereabouts at the cost of assisting the legendary hero in his search for the Golden Fleece; In Egypt, when Seth launched a sneak attack on Horus and stabbed the Egyptian patron saint with a knife, he suddenly appeared and beheaded Seth on the spot, in exchange for the gratitude and trust of the god Ra, and had the opportunity to board the anti-gravity fortress ship flying above the clouds, the solar ship, with the help of the solar ship's radar, he found Vivian's pyramid that had been buried in yellow sand; In ancient Babylon, in the midst of a fierce battle between the gods Marduk and Tiamat, Hasselblad shot an arrow from a nearby mountain and pierced one of Tiamat's eyeballs, thus impressing the Babylonian gods with awe and revealing the location of the labyrinth of Vivien, the god of blood......
The heyday of the Age of Mythology lasted for 5,000 years, and in this heyday, Hao Ren saw a world in which otherworldly creatures ruled the earth, humans were reduced to slavery and livestock, and countless lost ancient kingdoms were surging, and the rulers from other worlds built countless large and small city-states or kingdoms, but due to the constant wars between each other and the lack of a reasonable and effective social order, these ancient kingdoms often did not have time to leave many traces of history before they were annihilated by time.There are usually two kinds of alien gods who can survive the first two or three thousand years of "adaptation", they either have strong innate qualities, or they have a lot of technological or magical creations brought from their home world (and these things happen to come in handy on Earth), and the kingdoms they have established are divided into two distinct types, the former is more dark and savage, the smell of blood can be smelled almost daily in the rock-filled cities, and the cruel blood sacrifice rituals are the favorite entertainment of these beastly "gods", In Hao Ren's eyes, the latter is more like a colony base established on the earth by aliens - the metal barriers and energy barriers that are beyond the times wrap these ancient cities of the gods, and the core hinterland of some of the ancient cities of the gods is even a stranded alien spaceship, and the primitive and rough stone cities of mankind are built around these "fortresses" that look extraordinarily sci-fi or magical, and there is a sense of mystery in the midst of discord.But either way, it didn't make much difference to humans at that time, and even those advanced cities that were full of advanced civilization and relied on high-tech or magical technology were not prepared for human beings in their comfortable environment.Humans are usually prepared for biochemical laboratories, radioactive mining sites, and battlefields against other city-states.Of course, there are always a few relatively mild "heavenly paradises" among them, after all, even if they are visitors from other worlds who have no feelings for the earth, there will be a few alien virgins who sympathize with the earthlings (the kind of real virgins), but in the face of the general trend, the slightest kindness of this star cannot reverse the power of the entire era - in the entire mythological era, human beings are living in dire straits.A thunderbolt pierced the sky, and the blinding electric light froze in the night sky before it could fade, and then the whole world was filled with monotonous colors of black, white, and gray, and fell to a standstill in the blink of an eye.The Babylonians, who were worshipping in the square outside, were also turned into gray-white stone statues, and were quickly swallowed up by the darkness that surged in the distance, and finally only the king of Babylon stood at the front of the crowd, wearing a crown and a magnificent appearance, although the gods only regarded him as a "leader of the monkey pack", a useful tool of rule, but he still had full momentum as the king of mankind.Now that the imposing king had also been turned into a stone statue, he looked ahead with a little surprise, and with this expression he froze in this plane forever.Hao Ren poked his head out of the gate to make sure that the entire city of Babylon had been reduced to information fragments as it had been in the previous few backtracks, and then turned back to the temple.It was another hurried meeting, and this time Vivien gave Hao Ren a suggestion before leaving: "Don't act as a human anymore, if you go any further, humanity will not be able to move an inch, and every human who walks in the wilderness will be regarded as a defected slave under some god, at least in most places where there are alien gods." ”"We'll meet again in the next era......
"The Age of Mythology is such a bad time," after Vivien left, Hethanna leaned against a black stone pillar and sighed, "I caught up with the tail of the Age of Mythology, and I could feel what those so-called 'gods' were, originally, a group of unorganized and undisciplined aliens came to an ecological planet that no one cared for, and it was not unusual for them to do anything, and the goddess of creation must have thrown the dice when she selected the passengers of the ark." ”Hesperius couldn't help but glance at the little bat spirit: "There is one of the 'so-called gods' standing in front of you - I still cared about humans back then, and I saved an entire city-state." ”"Then your entire Olympus family is also very bad," Hethanna complained mercilessly, this bold little bat spirit didn't have so many concepts of superiority and inferiority when facing people other than Vivian, "You also know what kind of character Hades is, and that violent Ares, Poseidon who stirs up a storm when he is idle......
Hao Ren saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassed, and quickly coughed dryly: "Ahem......
It's a bad debt thousands of years ago, so let's stop spraying. ”Hethanna rolled her eyes at the sky and leaned more comfortably against the black stone pillar: "Okay, okay.But then again, compared to those small city-states that have no order at all, the big god systems like Olympus and Northern Europe are actually somewhat conscientious, at least the big families, and the top and bottom also talk about the rules, and the human countries under their hands can generally survive as long as they abide by the laws they make, but the human city-states in the horns that are ruled by mythical monsters or lone demon gods are even more miserable, and sometimes the entire city-state is destroyed because the demon god they serve has a wind in their brains. ”"Those guys aren't intelligent creatures at all," Hasselblad said lightly, "probably because they were hit in the brain when they crossed the walls of reality, and some of them mutated on Earth and became like wild beasts, and the humans they ruled were the worst - but there was no way to resist them. ”"Okay, well, from this point of view, you witchers really contributed to the death of the world's false gods, thank you for promoting the progress of civilization on this planet and not letting it drown in the swamps of the barbaric era," Heatherena barred her teeth at the old hunter, crackling and spitting out a groove before she finished her work with ease, then she looked down at her legs, which were gradually covered with the sheen of gray-white rock, and then looked back at the stone pillar of the Codex of Hammurabi that she was leaning on, "It looks like I'm going to follow in the footsteps of that stupid dog." , was it during the time of Hammurabi......
Tsk, I haven't even had a husky last long......
"The gray-white "petrified light" spread to Hethana's waist and abdomen, but this phenomenon caused by the solidification of time and space actually did not affect her speech, she rolled her eyes and thought about it, as if she wanted to summarize a few more words that could remind Hao Ren, but there was obviously not enough time, so she had to shake her head: "Forget it, anyway, you guy has seen a lot of the world, and I have nothing to remind you."
Remember, listen to Hesperius's advice, in the age of mythology was her home turf, and the witcher next to her was an illegal armed ......man outside the country in the days before 2,000 B.C.
"After Lily, Hethanna became the second member to break away from the team, and this time, no new members joined.Only Hesperius and Hasselblad were left by Hao Ren's side.It is true that Hao Ren knows more than the two of them, the god king Odin of Northern Europe and the elder Gregorian of Colpers are both old guys who have been active in the early days of the mythological era and are still alive in the real world outside, in fact, Raven 12345 has also gathered every ancient person Hao Ren knows early on, and stayed next to the gate of time and space to wait for the summoning at any time - but the historical journey itself has too much uncontrollability, and Hao Ren can't choose to summon these people at will.Because he can only go back at certain nodes, and the location of the backtracking is also limited to the vicinity of Vivien, given the good lifestyle of the countess wandering around the earth, this "backtracking node" may be in the center of a certain god city, or it may be at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, and it may also be in the vast desert, and even in the crater in extreme cases......
God knows how Vivien managed to sleep in such a place.All in all, it was a matter of chance that they could find "Space-Time Wanderers" in these backtracking locations that could be recruited as allies.Rather than expanding the range of activities and increasing the risk of failure in order to deliberately collect these teammates, it is better to rely on the existing strength at hand to find a way to solve the problem on your own, which is the conclusion reached by Hao Ren after consulting with Hesperius and others.Now the little bat spirit has also returned to the real world, and there are only three people left in the team.The year is 1788 B.C., and there is still a long way to go.
