Chapter 231 Saving the world also requires a first-come, first-served approach
"I……"
I did find something quite remarkable...
After calming down a little, Leon looked at the Taurus director in front of him and asked in disbelief:
"I just found out that humans... escaped from the Old Land?"
You just reached out and touched it, but you actually discovered such a secret?
After hearing what Leon said, Director Taurus was greatly surprised, and then nodded:
"That's right. Our human ancestors did not live in this world. Instead, they were a group of descendants who escaped from the Old Land. The predecessor of the Star Palace was the migration tool chosen by our human ancestors when they migrated. At that time, our ancestors were still planning to continue their journey, but the Star Palace was destroyed, so they had no choice but to stay in this world."
Wow, that’s really the case!
After smacking his lips in confusion, Leon continued to ask:
"Speaking of destroying it... From the information I found out, the person who destroyed the Star Palace was one of the Four Supreme Gods. They are now..."
“They’ve all been killed.”
"what?"
“The four supreme gods that came from the old land are the King of the Old Ones, the Cicada of All Things, the Crimson Lord, and the Asur’s Sleep.
The four of them are mortal enemies of humans. Since we humans have not been destroyed yet, they must be gone. Although most of their divinity and power have been inherited by other true gods, they are no longer the same as the original four pillar gods. "
After a brief recollection, Director Jinniu spread his hands and said:
"That was who knows how many years ago. The four supreme gods back then were, after all, just four gods who mastered powerful laws. If you use your Lyon value to calculate, it would be around 70 points. I guess they are a little stronger than Olivia, but not much stronger.
After living in comfort for many generations under the protection of the Watchtower Palace, the overall strength of the Cleanup Bureau has declined a lot, but there are seven or eight people with a level similar to Olivia, and those who can stably cross the 60-point True God mark are estimated to be in their early thirties.
There are still some branch directors whose points are less than 60 but who can cooperate with abnormal objects to eliminate the True God, as well as some elites among the first-level cleaners. Adding them all together, there are about a hundred people who have the means to harm the True God, and this is the result after we have been stable for so many generations.
After the Watchtower Palace was built, the generations of predecessors who grew up quickly under its protection were much stronger than they are now. The Four Pillar Gods only lasted a few hundred years before being killed. The evil god's brain now soaking in the [Illusion Drum] is the brain of Asur's Sleep, one of the Four Pillar Gods."
"..."
My ancestors are awesome...
Leon originally thought that the Cleansing Bureau, which had always been surrounded by external enemies, was actually being watched by four powerful behind-the-scenes masters, ready to destroy the world at any time. However, he was lucky enough to discover it, and then a new heroic epic would begin.
But I didn't expect that the so-called mastermind behind the scenes had been exiled by the Cleanup Bureau eight hundred years ago, and even his ashes had been recycled and taken home to be mixed with rice and fed to dogs. All I saw was the awesome history of mankind's ancestors, and what I got was a script for the post-heroic era where they could basically live a stable life. The most troublesome enemy had already been hacked to death by the big guys.
Hmm... Come to think of it, this is such a rich world, with so many true gods, demon gods, outer gods, and evil gods all trying their best to squeeze in and have some fun. If the seniors in the Cleanup Bureau were not awesome enough, how could they have occupied it so peacefully for so long?
Even if the Cleanup Bureau is not strong enough to stop all the true gods who covet this world from joining forces, it must at least be the undisputed strongest among all the "forces", capable of suppressing a group of people alone, otherwise it would have been driven out eight hundred years ago to continue wandering.
……
"Our ancestors were truly amazing (and fierce)..."
After sincerely sighing at the fierceness of the seniors in the Cleanup Bureau, Leon said with some doubt:
"Mr. Taurus, since you know all these things, why didn't you object when I said before that the bureau didn't seem to know much about Xinggong?"
"Because what you said is history, not the situation of Xinggong. The bureau does not know much about the specific situation of Xinggong at present." Director Jinniu said helplessly:
"I've told you before that the Star Palace is really huge. It's too much trouble to bring them back from the vicinity of the sun. It might take more than ten years to go back and forth, and consume countless precious materials.
So ever since the first virgin director made the trip and sent the eighty-eight star palaces over, the bureau never brought them back for inspection, so no one knew whether these things had been well maintained or not.
Anyway, even if they are not taken back and placed near the sun, it will not hinder everyone's continued use of the Star Palace's abilities. There is no world-destroying crisis that must be escaped, and the Star Palace has always responded when summoned, so no one is willing to bring them back for inspection...
By the way, how is Xinggong's condition? Is the nourishment completed?"
"..."
Indeed... According to human nature, people would not rush to build something like the Ark of the End of the World until the very last minute. Moreover, the higher-ups in the Cleanup Bureau are quite lax. It would be strange if they were diligent enough to conduct tests every three years or five years.
As for the state of Xinggong...
After thinking about the comments such as "one of the most important trump cards of the Cleanup Bureau" and "the last hope of the human race", Leon said firmly:
"Although it has not fully recovered and there are still a lot of scars on the back, the Star Palace is no longer a 'fragment' and can be considered fully nourished."
"That would be great."
Director Jinniu said happily:
“Although I may not be able to use it, it’s better to have something like this than nothing… By the way, Leon, by the way, have you found a way to bypass Xinggong to learn the secret technique?”
"This... I don't know if I can count as having found it... Oh, right! In addition to all that history, I also discovered something very important!"
When he said this, Leon suddenly remembered something and reminded with a frown:
"Sir Taurus, my ability tells me that the divinity of those who possess the Star Palace will continue to be lost!"
"It's okay, this was intentional."
"what?"
"What I mean is that when the first generation of Taurus directors forged the Star Palace, they deliberately designed this usage condition."
Director Jinniu explained with a smile:
"The Star Palace is so precious, and it's far away around the sun. We can't get there in time. What if it's snatched away by other true gods? So we simply make sure that anyone who touches it will lose their divinity. That way, no true god will be willing to snatch it."
"But won't those cleaners who have been infected... and whose Lyon value has exceeded 60 points and have touched the threshold of true gods also lose their divinity?"
"Just let it flow!"
Director Jinniu spread his hands and said:
"To drain away even the lowest level of divinity, it would take three to four hundred years or even longer, and we humans don't have eternal lifespans. We can only live about a hundred and fifty years at most. Why should we think about things that far ahead?"
