Chapter 717 Meteor Past
Yang Wangxing, or should I say Sadu, felt a huge wave of shock in his heart at this moment. It was already surprising enough that Lin Shi could crack the secret of these murals, but now he could actually guess this step, which made him simply unbelievable.
"I once asked you what you saw in the mural gallery of the lost board, but I didn't tell you what I saw. Now I can tell you."
"I saw you. Except for your face, you look more and more like him now."
The moment he saw Yang Wangxing in the Temple of Stars, Lin Shi felt that he seemed familiar. After seeing his face that looked like Dayu monster, the picture he saw in the mural suddenly came to his mind and gradually overlapped with the person in front of him.
Many people may have forgotten this name, or even never remembered it. This was the leader of the Meteor People recorded in the classics mentioned by Yang Wangxing.
And if nothing unexpected happens, he must be the human leader that Dayu Monster mentioned who had a good relationship with their ancestor Dayu Monster.
"The Dayu monsters have a strange ability to manipulate memory. Your current appearance should be due to it."
Lin Shi's words made Sadu gradually fall into silence. After a while, he smiled, stretched out his hand, and looked at him carefully.
"In fact...even I don't know who I am. Yang Wangxing? Or Sadu? Or a new personality created by the fusion of them. Any of them is possible."
Sadu's tone sounded a little more lonely, as if it was because he had no one to talk to for a long time. After being exposed by Lin Shi, he actually felt a little relieved and told the truth one by one.
"As you guessed, my appearance is indeed because of Sadhu, or rather, because of Sadhu's belief in resurrection."
"At that time, the world came to an end. Space was disordered, laws were overturned, and more and more elves and humans disappeared. In order to save themselves, the people of Meteor also began to look for ways to survive."
"Unfortunately, the people of Meteor had just experienced a catastrophe from the spirit world. Not only were they severely injured, but even the tribe's guardian totem had to be activated to quell the catastrophe. For a while, they could not find a new way out to face this even more terrible doomsday."
At this point, "Sadu" looked a little surprised. Although he felt that it had nothing to do with him, he still inevitably felt the urgency of the situation at that time. Then he paused and continued.
"And it was at this time that Sadhu appeared!"
"The leader of the Meteor Clan at that time was a crazy, dictatorial, and unscrupulous person. I am now a part of him, so I know very well that he wanted to survive this disaster not necessarily for the sake of his people, but more for himself."
"He led the people of Meteor to disregard the ancestral teachings passed down through the ages. Without awakening the totem Jirachi, he forcibly stole its power of wishes and used this power to create incredible things."
"According to what you humans say now, a gentleman is judged by deeds rather than intentions. No matter what Sadu's reasons were, he really brought hope to the people of Meteor at that time. This is why so many people supported him at that time."
"Sadu" opened his arms and looked around.
"Everything here, this phantom tower is the Noah's Ark built by the people of Meteor!"
"Sadu's" words made Lin Shi re-examine the Phantom Tower. The big monsters might be right. This tower is the tool they and the human race use to escape from the impending doomsday.
A brand new human building that has never been inhabited by anyone, a vast space with different tower levels with its own ecological system, all of this really looks like the ark that Noah built to survive.
"But...it all failed."
"Sadu"'s expression became lonely again.
"Sadu thinks everything is too simple. The end of the world was simply an inevitable whirlpool of the abyss. Jirachi's power alone is not enough to save us."
"Moreover, Sadhu used Jirachi's power to fulfill wishes without restraint, causing Jirachi to suffer serious damage and fall into a deeper sleep. Not only did the power of wishes he could draw from him become smaller and smaller, but even the wishes he had originally fulfilled began to become unstable."
"Coupled with Sadhu's dictatorship, the community's dissatisfaction with him grew stronger and stronger, and finally one day it erupted. It started as a contradiction, then turned into a conflict, and the conflict eventually turned into a rebellion."
"Sadu" gave a bitter smile.
"Before the final doomsday came, Sadhu had already lost everything, including his status, wealth, and life..."
Listening to the narration of the person in front of him, Lin Shi pursed his lips and said:
"Now it seems that Sadhu still has a backup plan."
"This is natural. How could Sadu's ambition end up like this?" "Sadu" nodded and continued to narrate.
"He used the last power of wish he absorbed from Jirachi early on, and cooperated with the half-step champion-level big monster he had signed a contract with, to leave behind a miracle building, which is what you are now calling the ruins."
If an outsider enters, the power of wishes will be used to make the Daewoo monster who is lingering there modify the other party's memory and re-instill Sadhu's memory into this person's brain, attempting to "reborn" in this way of covering up the truth.
"He calculated the time. After the ruins are revived, a long time should have passed. By then, he can return to the Phantom Tower and absorb Jirachi, who should have recovered his strength after hundreds or even thousands of years. At that time, he can naturally take back everything that belongs to him."
"But unfortunately, all this did not develop as he expected. The passage of time far exceeded his expectations. Even a half-step champion-level Big Monster could not survive that long. He could only exist as a half-elf soul."
"Just when I thought it was too late, a man suddenly came here. He had a crazy desire to explore this ruins, and was obsessed with the story of the Meteor People and Jirachi."
"And the Great Yu Monster finally seized the opportunity and used his last bit of strength to complete the memory modification ritual, integrating the already broken memories of Sadhu into his own memory."
Hearing this, Lin Shi nodded. It was already very clear that the so-called outsider must be Yang Wangxing, who was a member of the archaeological expedition team at the time.
And because it had been so long, the opponent's memory of Sadhu had apparently also had flaws, resulting in Yang Wangxing himself not possibly noticing the problem after this period of time. It was only after being subtly influenced that he began to become crazy about the Phantom Tower and Jirachi.
This also explains why Yang Wangchen felt that Yang Wangxing became strange. It was the memory of Sadhu that was affecting Yang Wangxing.
Lin Shi even felt that it was possible that the so-called plagiarism of the paper was a modification of Yang Wangxing's memory by Sadu's memory, with the purpose of separating this pair of brothers who knew each other very well and avoiding his own exposure.
