Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

1871 Crevice

The symbols carved on the rock wall seemed simple and crude, but they were actually full of details. It was as if their resolution had reached an infinite level. One could continuous enlarge the layered patterns, and they would present one new world after another.

In every world, there was information billions of times more complex than the symbols themselves. They were like magnificent, boundless libraries.

Each of the many trillion “characters” among the billions of books on the thousands of bookshelves in the library acted as the entrance to a different library.

Meng Chao did not have the ability to “read” this information at first.

!!

However, as the black tide surged and spirit energy surged deep inside the ancient ruins, his vitality magnetic field seemed to resonate with the magnetic field of the surrounding space.

It was as if he had temporarily unlocked some of the Ancients’ authority because he was one of their descendants. He could control his body in the same way the Ancients could.

His eyes now seemed to be equipped with the functions of an astronomical telescope and an electron microscope at the same time. He could clearly capture and infinitely magnify the complicated symbols on the opposite rock wall. He could also guide his consciousness into the infinite library that the symbols had activated and wander in the infinite ocean of information.

According to Meng Chao’s basic understanding, the symbols contained all the research information about spirit meridians in the ancient civilization.

In other words, this was the Ancients’ research on the energy network of biological life forms. Entire blueprints and flow charts of their theoretical frameworks were there.

As long as he could understand the information in the symbols…

No, as long as he could understand even a tenth… no, a hundredth, it would be enough for the spirit meridians in his body to undergo a qualitative change. Then, he would be able to break through the shackles of his current realm and surpass the Deity Realm!

Just then, Meng Chao’s heart skipped a beat.

While he was in a trance, he had forgotten about his situation and that of his companions, as well as the problems that Dragon City was facing. Worse still, he had forgotten that they still had to search for the Battle God, Lei Zongchao.

He was in the infinite library, and his perspective seemed to be divided into hundreds or thousands of parts. He was attached to the thousands of otherworldly, sage-like Ancients at the same time. He watched as they gauged, searched, explored, and overcame the complexities involved in the energy network of life forms from different angles.

Countless formulas, algorithms, experiment logs of success and failure, and even the personal feelings of the experimenters turned into a surging torrent of information. They crashed into Meng Chao’s mind in the most efficient and intense way.

Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak…

Eh eh eh eh, eh eh eh eh…

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz…

Meng Chao heard a voice that could not be described with words. It was simultaneously sharp and deep, unclear and clear, strange and holy.

It sounded like ancient ravings from the netherworld that could corrode and destroy one’s mind.

However, he soon realized that these ravings were not unpredictable and without pattern.

The information was just too dense and overwhelming. It was almost as if the information that was as abundant as the stars in the universe had been compressed and transmitted to his brain in the blink of an eye.

His brain lacked the “hardware” to store the information, or the “software” to extract and read the information. Due to the self-protection mechanism of the human brain, he could only process the enormous information stream that contained the ancient civilization’s wisdom in the form of “garbled codes.”

Either way, he knew that he was far from understanding the wisdom of the ancient civilization.

He was aware that if he forced himself to comprehend it, he would likely have a mental breakdown and go completely insane.

His brain was overloaded, and his brain cells were burning furiously. All of this turned his skull into an empty coal oven.

He could not help but immerse himself in the infinite library and the super-compressed ancient information. He was not willing to snap out of it.

An unknown amount of time passed.

It felt like a second, but it also felt like billions of years.

A sharp buzzing sound suddenly came from the depths of his brain.

It was the detector for his mental and physiological parameters, and the alarms for both parameters were ringing concurrently.

The spirit magnets lurking deep within his brain were automatically activated too. They spread and expanded along the circuits in his brain as they formed a crisscrossing cooling network. The high temperature and pressure caused by his overloaded brain was shot out through his mouth, nose, eyes, ears, and pores.

The explosive pain from the high pressure in his brain jolted him awake.

Enduring the pain, he swallowed a mouthful of burning hot saliva with great difficulty. He panted and groaned for a long time before his soul and body gradually overlapped again.

Meng Chao realized that he had already jumped onto the rock wall on the other side.

The rune that the bald crystal man left billions of years ago was now right in front of him. It contained information about the energy systems of carbon life forms.

Unfortunately, when Meng Chao woke up, he had already lost the ability to automatically read, transmit, and analyze ancient information.

Of course, the serious interference and deep erosion that the ability inflicted on his overly weak human brain and mind ceased as well.

At that moment, Meng Chao could see that the rune had already lost its luster after years of weathering. It was shattered.

If one did not look carefully, one would easily confuse it with the cracks on the rock wall.

There had been a straight pathway that led to the life energy laboratory below the rune. However, it turned into a winding, twisted, and dark crevice under the constant collapse and compression of the rocks long ago.

Meng Chao abruptly realized that he had inserted his entire right arm deep into the crevice at some point in time.

The excruciating pain from his fingertips and the blood on his palm told him that his right hand was scratching hard against the rocks in the crack. He had been trying to expand the crevice and find a new point of force.

“W-What was I doing earlier?”

Fine ice crystals seeped out of Meng Chao’s forehead.

He sensed his central nervous system, nerve endings, and every muscle fiber again, but he found himself clinging to the crevice in a very weird posture.

Judging from the way his hands were grabbing around and his feet were exerting force, he was thinking about boring into the crevice without looking back!

“Am I attracted by the mysteries of the ancient era without knowing? Was I trying to pass through the pathway and enter the life energy laboratory to absorb a higher level of wisdom?

“But this tunnel has already collapsed!

“At this point, the widest part of the tunnel is only twenty centimeters, and the narrower part is only five centimeters. It’s not even half the width of a palm. Even if I can contort my muscles and bones, it’s still too much!”
