Chapter 524 Discovery
Zhou Kongming walked downwards like this for a long time.
At first it was just an ordinary stratum, but as he went deeper, the material of the surrounding environment gradually changed.
Even in the 'map' auxiliary module he loaded, a line of text popped up.
[Civilization creations of the current mission world have been detected and are being analyzed...]
[Analysis completed, entered into database]
The function of the Immortal Network is not only to assist the ascending messengers to complete their tasks, but also an extremely important function is to record the development process of civilization in various worlds.
The energy levels of these worlds may not be as good as those of the Taixuan Realm, and the gap in combat power and individual strength is also huge.
But this does not mean that the civilization created by their successive generations has no merits at all.
Zhou Kongming stared at it for a long time.
I found out that it was just a record and didn't seem to have any intention of rewarding me with ascension points, so I simply ignored it.
I complained in my mind that he was "stingy".
In the game, when you explore a certain area, you will get some rewards to whet your appetite!
After passing through dozens of areas made of special materials, the scene in front of me suddenly became bright.
What comes into view is a very vast underground space, with lights illuminating every corner.
The entire underground space can be roughly divided into three layers.
The pure white tower in the middle runs through the upper, middle and lower floors.
The top layer is covered with densely packed pure white drones, which are constantly flying around without appearing messy at all.
Each drone flies at exactly the same speed.
The gap was just wide enough for another drone to pass through, and they seemed to merge completely into one as they passed through each other, but without any collision occurring.
The middle layer is made up of crisscrossing transparent tubes, wrapped with pale golden cylindrical crystals that flicker faintly.
From an overall perspective, these pipes are like blood vessels, crisscrossing and connecting this underground space.
And the bottom layer is the appearance of the "city" in Zhou Kongming's memory.
Streets, tall buildings, green plants, traffic...
The only thing that made him feel uncomfortable was that everything was too "coordinated" and everything in the entire underground space was too "precise".
Everything is so precise that it seems like parts of a huge machine, without even a trace of discordant noise.
"It's a bit like the underground laboratory where those old demons cultivate pseudo-spirits..."
Such a thought flashed through Zhou Kongming's mind, and his body gradually floated downwards.
He felt something was wrong, so he decided to observe the human race in this world first and understand the development process of civilization in this world.
Soon, Zhou Kongming passed through the upper and middle levels and came to the "city" at the bottom, and landed next to a big tree on the side of the road.
However, he was still in the state of 'Qi' and did not choose to gather and manifest his body.
The divine consciousness expanded silently, and with itself as the center, began to explore every corner of this underground space.
Just at this moment, a young man dressed in pure white clothes, with standard facial features, neither fat nor thin, and about 1.8 meters tall, walked over with an expressionless face.
There was calmness in his eyes, without any emotion. A tool bag was hanging on a drone following him.
The whole person just went straight through the "qi" transformed by Zhou Kongming and walked towards the distance.
Ok?
Zhou Kongming frowned and turned to look at the man.
Very strange 'person'.
In the Sword Sect's Dharma Transmission Building, some related books record the events of the demon cultivators causing chaos in ancient times.
It records in detail the symptoms that people will experience after being tortured by evil cultivators.
This person gave him the feeling...
It was as if he had a congenital disease and most of his soul was taken away by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
The number of intelligent individuals just updated on the map is 683.74, so could it be that 0.74 is the person who just walked past?
His mind was racing, and his divine consciousness had already covered the entire underground space.
Because of the "absolute spiritual" attribute of the world itself, Zhou Kongming had not let his spiritual thoughts stay outside for too long before, so he only had a general understanding of the structure of this underground space.
But now, it is completely different.
As an individual who has touched the upper limit of this world, if he explores it carefully, everything in the entire underground space will be revealed in detail and can be seen by him without reservation.
The first is the number of humans in this underground space.
One, ten, a hundred, a thousand...
As more and more humans were detected, Zhou Kongming's expression became more and more solemn.
"Seventeen thousand three hundred and twenty-eight people..." He slowly spit out a number.
A total of 17,328 people live in this underground space!
However, these nearly 20,000 people were all like the young man he had just seen, with congenital diseases and damaged souls.
It is for this reason that the number of sapient individuals is recorded as 683.74.
After all, none of them can be regarded as an "individual" with complete intelligence and the ability to think independently.
Woo~!
A shrill alarm sounded without warning, and the lights turned into a creepy dark red.
All humans in the underground space stopped their work at the same time, their eyes still filled with indifference, and then they hid in the shelters on each floor in an orderly manner.
Zhou Kongming was a little stunned.
He thought he was careful enough!
How did this world without spiritual energy discover him using only divine consciousness?
“￥#%%#%#!”
Then, an incomprehensible voice was heard spreading in the underground space.
Maybe a warning or something.
[Unknown language detected, deciphering...]
[Decoding completed, no supernatural elements detected, entered into the database, named World 1 Civilization Language ] This name is damn simple and easy to understand.
But seeing that the personal interface of the Immortal Network had no intention of transmitting the deciphered language to himself, Zhou Kongming felt speechless.
Didn't they say that the contestants in the Immortal Sect Competition were using the basic version? !
Why does my advanced version have fewer functions than theirs?
There was no other way. Zhou Kongming could only invade the consciousness of one of the humans first and prepare to read the information in it to understand the meaning of this sentence.
however……
"No?!"
Now he was really confused.
In that fragile consciousness, there was no complete information about the relevant language, but only the maintenance method of the 'high-concentration flare crystal'.
Apart from this, there is only biological instinct information such as 'eating' and 'excretion'.
That was all he knew.
"..."
After a pause, Zhou Kongming quickly replaced other people.
It turns out, however, that the information stored in their consciousness is quite fragmented and highly professional.
But apart from the work that one is responsible for, there is no other information in cognition.
This discovery made Zhou Kongming feel a little cold in his heart.
Without even a sense of self-awareness, the rulers of this world are really...
After changing several of them, I finally found language-related information in one person's consciousness.
At this time, the warning words had changed into several languages.
[Decoding completed, the second language of World 1 civilization has been included...]
[Included in World 1 Civilization Language ...]
[The World 1 civilization has been included...]
Relying on the powerful learning ability of the Return to Void Realm, he finally succeeded in understanding and mastering the 'World 1 Civilization Language ' when the voice changed to the seventeenth language.
The meaning of the first sentence is -
"Outsider, please state your intentions!"
"..."
After a little thought, Zhou Kongming did not choose to show up, but chose to approach the tall tower in the middle.
The drones that were originally only distributed on the uppermost layer now came to the middle and lower layers and began to patrol everywhere.
Invisible ripples spread out from the tallest tower in the middle.
However, even if they used all these methods, it could not affect Zhou Kongming who had already arrived near the tower.
Obviously, although they didn't know how they discovered the invasion of aliens, they had no idea where the aliens were, let alone what they were.
In this way, he easily passed through the outer layer of the tower made of special materials and came to the inside of the tower.
……
……
Looking around, you can see neat corridors leading in all directions.
There are also drones constantly shuttling inside, and people in pure white uniforms with expressionless faces are still doing their jobs.
Instructions kept popping up in front of them.
Zhou Kongming, who had already mastered the 'World 1 Civilization Language ', could now understand the meaning of those instructions.
[Reconnaissance plan No.... has failed, activate reconnaissance plan No....]
[…The fluctuation has weakened, has the 'observation' behavior ended?]
[Speculative conclusion 1: Aliens are unknown life forms, currently...unobservable]
[Inference 2: The outsiders are...life...]
The instructions were very confusing, and some of the content was even a mixture of several languages.
The civilization of this world seems to consciously avoid leaking its own civilization information...
"Observe..."
From the information he could understand, Zhou Kongming finally understood why he was discovered.
It’s actually because of the act of ‘observation’!
This is really...
After a pause, he began to read and learn the language in other people's consciousness.
It seems that the level of civilization in this world is not low, and this mission will be more difficult than expected.
But twenty-one years...
No matter how you think about it, that should be enough.
"First, we will use this underground space as a springboard, and after finding the core, we will locate the base camp of the human race in this world."
'Then observe the social structure and, if possible, get rid of the inhumane person in power and rebuild a social system that is more suitable for cultivation.'
With absolute suppression by force, we should be able to smoothly get through the 'transformation period'.
As for whether he could defeat this civilization...
Apart from anything else, Kong Ming was still very confident on this point last week.
He didn't think that in such a world, there would be a being that could defeat him.
Do you understand the value of the first person in the Sword Sect to return to the Void?
In this way, while making plans in my mind, I read memories and learned other languages of this civilization.
Zhou Kongming finally arrived at the core of the tower. (End of this chapter)
