Chapter 663 The Secret of Humanity
After seeing what Director Aquarius had left on the note, the more than 80 branch directors present suddenly fell into silence.
Although the content on the note is extremely short, the information it conveys is not thin, especially the handwriting that is so ink-stained and so powerful that it can be seen through the back of the paper, which clearly shows the writer's mental state of being completely broken.
But what is a bit puzzling is that didn’t Director Aquarius achieve his wish and successfully replace Mr. Taurus to ascend to the Watchtower Palace? Why did he write a note to curse people after he succeeded?
"Anyway, this is what you see."
After putting away the note filled with Aquarius's anger, the Sagittarius director in the square frowned and said:
"Aquarius doesn't seem to be prepared to keep his promise and continue to remind us of possible crises, so we must be mentally prepared. Before the next person to ascend the palace appears, we may lose some of the protection from the Watch Palace."
really……
After hearing what Director Sagittarius said, the expressions of all the branch directors suddenly became serious.
In addition to preventing the true gods from descending at will, the most important function of the Watchtower Palace is to provide early warning before a major crisis occurs. If the Aquarius who enters the palace is unwilling to cooperate, then this important function will be useless.
The Cleanup Bureau has a huge workload. It has been able to safely get through crises time and time again, thanks to the advance warnings from the Watch Palace. Now that the Slaughter King Society is watching closely, if there is no such warning, future "work" will inevitably be difficult.
"I don't need to tell you what this situation means. You should all know it."
He looked around and glanced at the expressions of the branch directors. Then Director Sagittarius sighed and said:
"So in order to deal with the situation that may arise next, I discussed with Director Jinniu and we decided that we must be prepared for the worst-case scenario. It would be best to forcibly bring back the director from the old land... What do you think?"
……
The director of the Old Land Bureau... the director of the Cleanup Bureau?
Hearing this, Leon, who was brought by the red-haired chief to listen in, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows curiously. However, before he could ask, a warm hand came up to hold his.
"The director is in the Old Land, searching for things that we humans lost when we fled the Old Land. This mission is as important as the Watchtower Palace."
A soul wave was transmitted through the palm of his hand. After explaining the situation of the chief director, the red-haired director frowned slightly and said:
"It's fine if it's Director Sagittarius, but if even Mr. Taurus thinks it's necessary to interrupt the mission and bring back the director, then the current situation of the bureau is probably extremely bad."
'Director.'
The red-haired director’s words aroused his curiosity. Leon reached out and held her hand, and asked curiously:
"What on earth is the Director General looking for in Old Land? Could that thing be more important than the safety of the Cleanup Bureau?"
'It's not as important as the Cleanup Bureau, but it's not far behind.'
After a slight hesitation, the red-haired director leaned back and then said seriously:
"The situation with the Director General is Level 5 intelligence, and only Director Huang Dao knows it. You can listen to it, but you must not tell anyone, not even Emma and your sister."
My goodness, is this news so important?
In Leon's somewhat surprised expression, the red-haired director explained through soul fluctuations:
'This story started a long time ago. When our human ancestors escaped from the destroyed old land, the Supreme Four Pillars took away almost everything. Although they succeeded in killing the Four Pillars, they did not get back the things they took away. The director general suspected that those things were left in the old land by the Four Pillars, so he took the three directors Aries, Virgo, and Scorpio and ran back while the old land was stable, hoping to find the things that our ancestors had taken away.'
"What were those stolen things? Anomalies more powerful than the Watchtower?"
"It may be more important than the Watchtower. If we can really get those things back, then our human race will definitely be able to move towards a better future."
When he said this, the red-haired director pursed his lips and said with a longing look:
"According to the description I heard from Lord Taurus, the Supreme Four Pillars took away four things from our ancestors, namely [lifespan], [inheritance], [creation], and the most important [connection]. "
"..."
Life? Heritage? Creation? Connection?
'To put it simply, the maximum lifespan of our ancestors' bodies is similar to the maximum lifespan of our human souls, which is about 500 years. However, after their [lifespan] was plundered by the [Old Kings], no matter how healthy our human bodies are, it is difficult for them to survive for more than years.'
? ! ! !
As Leon was extremely shocked, the red-haired director continued to speak:
'As for [Inheritance], it is the continuation of memory and knowledge. Before being plundered by the [Scarlet Overlord], our ancestors were able to pass down some of the knowledge they possessed directly through their bloodlines, and master it themselves as they grew older.
The [Creation] and [Connection] taken away by [Cicada of All Things] and [Sleep of Asur] respectively refer to the almost endless inspiration that is always bursting out, as well as the ability to communicate through the connection between hearts, perfectly express one's own ideas, and perfectly understand the other's thoughts.'
"..."
A maximum lifespan of five hundred years, a bloodline that can pass on knowledge, inexhaustible inspiration, efficient and thorough spiritual communication... Is this person still a human being?
'It's hard to believe, isn't it?'
After glancing at Leon who was dumbfounded behind him, the red-haired chief blinked and said:
'When I first heard Lord Taurus talk about this, I was also shocked. However, these are all things from the very ancient past. Our human ancestors are long gone, and only a few fragments of records are left in the archives of the General Administration.
Since the third director, senior members of the Cleanup Bureau have occasionally returned to the old land during the lulls in the turbulence of time and space, trying to find the things that our ancestors had taken away, but so far they have had little success.'
"Liao Liao means... those predecessors did not gain nothing?"
'It's a small gain!'
In response to Leon's question, the red-haired chief nodded slightly and said:
'When we first settled in this world, our human lifespan was unlikely to exceed seventy years. It was only after our predecessors recovered some of the [lifespan] that the limit was raised to around one hundred and fifty years. The way we communicate now through souls is part of that [connection].
As for the remaining [Creation] and [Inheritance], very, very little of the former was recovered, and only a few humans were able to awaken this inspiration, while the latter was almost nothing, and it seemed to have completely disappeared along with the [Scarlet Overlord].'
