Chu Yunsheng was looking at the black monolith, but his mind was filled with the images of his ancestors. All the scenes seemed to have marked into his memory. It was very clear.
That old man in the white robe was probably the senior practitioner, and it seemed like the senior practitioner had noticed him.
But why a long sigh? What was he trying to say? Chu Yunsheng was baffled.
However, the scene was instantly changed to the vast and boundless space. Then his “time travel” ended without any signs.
During the whole time travel journey, he was like an observer. He couldn’t talk, nor could he interact with them. The monolith also didn’t give him a second chance.
For a long time, Chu Yunsheng still could not recover from this “retrospective” phenomenon. No matter how good a person could manage their emotions, they still would not be able to calm down quickly after experiencing the entire 5000 years of history, and realising that reality did not change at all.
Professor Sun did not tell him that this “retrospective” phenomenon would happen. It meant that no one else apart from him had experienced it.
But why? He thought. He did not think that he was some kind of special person; whatever happened to him would eventually happen to other people as well. Unless it had something to do with the ancient book.
The senior practitioner must have written down some information about the monolith. Why was he injured? What exactly happened! Chu Yunsheng was baffled.
‘Before the insects initiated the attack once again, I need to hurry up deciphering the symbols!’ He told himself again.
What exactly happened 5000 years ago?
What did the senior practitioner discover?
Maybe all the answers were in the book.
Chu Yunsheng could not wait any longer, he wanted to get back to the office building as soon as possible.
“Beep… Beep… Beep…”
All of sudden, an ear-piercing frequency started to ripple through the entire Jin Ling City from the monolith. The vibration was so severe to the extent that the entire city and everything around it was shaking constantly.
It was the most disturbing sound that everyone on Earth would not want to hear it. It was like a piercing shrillness of the metal-scratching-metal sound, but 100 times worse.
Everyone including Chu Yunsheng all covered their ears, trying to block the sound. But it didn’t seem to work.
A soldier, who couldn’t stand the vibration, suddenly collapsed on the ground and rolled around in pain.
Then more and more people started to fall on the ground like a domino effect!
Chu Yunsheng also didn’t hold on for very long. The sound made him feel like his head was about to explode!
He was on his knees, using his hands to cover his ears. He tried so hard that the blood vessels started to swell on his face.
The sonic wave was constantly rippling through the city. Men, women, kids, soldiers, and refugees, everyone in the city was either on their knees or rolling on the ground.
The beeping sound did not have any signs of stopping after it reached the defence lines. It even rippled through the river and reached the swarm.
Puff!
The tombs that the humans in Jin Ling city tried so hard to destroy, started to swell and exploded one after another!
The swarm was retreating as fast as they could as if they knew the vibration was going to wipe them out if they didn’t run away.
The beeping sound lasted for almost 10 minutes, but Chu Yunsheng felt like it was even longer than 5000 years.
…
The world suddenly fell silent, then everyone inside the city started to vomit.
The food that Chu Yunsheng had just had not long ago was puked all over the ground. He couldn’t feel his strength; all he could do was to raise his head and look at the monolith in a great shock.
At the same time, the monolith suddenly moved a little bit. Then the sky above it started to have visible air turbulence. The turbulence was getting stronger and stronger until it formed a giant whirlwind.
In the centre of the whirlwind, a beam of sunlight that had disappeared from Earth for a very long time shed on the dark monolith. It made the monolith look sacred and solemn.
The monolith was being slowly lifted up higher and higher until it reached the centre of the vortex, and soon, it disappeared in everyone’s eyesight.
“I understand it now! I understand it now!” professor Fang jumped up from the ground and suddenly grasped professor Sun’s arm, “Old Sun, I understand it now! We were wrong! All wrong! I understand it now! So that’s how it should be!…” He shouted.
Professor Fang was so excited that he totally forgot that he should stay calm at this moment.
“Old Fang, are you alright!?” Professor Sun was worried that the high pitch frequency might have damaged his brain.
“Of course, quick! Old Sun, let’s go back! This time I need you to assist me. I need to start an experiment right now!” Professor Fang did not want to wait any longer; he was scared that his inspiration would disappear all of sudden.
“Xiao Chu, come with us, let me get you a gun, then we will ask people to send you back.” professor Sun said while holding professor Fang, who was constantly mumbling about something. He sounded extremely worried.
…..
After Chu Yunsheng got back from GRD, he checked the progress of deciphering. Then around 50 new words were added to his personal dictionary.
Jin Ling city was very quiet in the past few days; all the defence lines were also very quiet; even all the dark fogs on the river had also disappeared.
When the monolith lifted off, it almost destroyed half of the tombs in the swarm.
And during the quiet days, the only thing that made Chu Yunsheng happy was that he finally deciphered the Yuan Tian stage two’s cultivation method completely. He was finally able to resume his cultivation practice.
When he recited the cultivation incantations, he noticed that his cultivation speed slightly increased a little bit. Although it was just a little bit, he could still feel it.
He was not sure that if it had something to do with the beeping sound or not, but Professor Fang seemed to have been affected by it. He also heard that their lab had a huge breakthrough.
Ding Yan still couldn’t find anyone who had other special abilities other than ice and fire. So at the moment he just left it aside.
But he had already selected 12 people. Although Chu Yunsheng told him that they did not have to be very powerful, Ding Yan still only selected the people that were Rank-2 and above.
Then Chu Yunsheng split 12 people into two groups, Yao Xiang led the fire team and Lu Yu led the ice team.
Those two teams were going to be the backbone of his force. Chu Yunsheng had prepared the tier-one armour and weapons for every single one of them.
After he studied the new symbols, he realized that the tier-one armour also had two levels. Level two was almost three times more powerful than level one. But it also required a lot of raw materials, time and energy to make it. However, Chu Yunsheng was busy deciphering the symbols and increasing his own strength, and his time was also limited, so he only made two high-level tier-one armours. They were given to each team leader. And every team member only had low-level tier-one armour.
Not only did he need to prepare for the insect’s attack, but he also needed to prepare for the deputy chief commander Fang’s action.
Although both of them were very quiet at the moment, Chu Yunsheng didn’t think that both of them would let it go that easily.
So he needed to hurry up with the preparation!
