Under One Person: The Millennium Plan Exposed by Feng Baobao.

Chapter 155: The Impoverished Race, the Great Power of Time

When they heard that Yis was defeated by this race, Zhang Chulan and others who knew Yis were also shocked.

Good guy.

What exactly is this race?
What level has technology finally developed to?
The Puling people were so frightened that their eyes were stunned.

"The great race Yis was once defeated by this race?"

“It’s simply too incredible!”

"You know, that's a great race that conquered time!"

Hearing this, Balen Xia Liuqing and others who didn't know Yis were very confused.

White asked the Puring aliens at this time.

"What great race conquered time?"

"Did this Yis develop a time machine?"

The Pu Ling people didn't explain too much.

"This race is extremely powerful. We, the people of Purin Star, are just babies in front of them."

"But it is indeed incredible that this ancient being actually defeated Is."

"It can be said that the technology of this ancient has reached a level that we cannot even glimpse. However, the notes also say that the surviving ancients can only use rusty iron swords as weapons. I don't know what happened in the meantime to cause these ancients to degenerate to such a level."

Zhuge Qing looked at the Puling alien.

"Maybe it's time."

"No matter how powerful a race is, it will decline in the face of time."

"But I see you must have heard of this Ancient One. Could it be that this Ancient One still exists in the universe?"

The Pu Ling alien also felt uncomfortable looking at the person in front of him who almost saw through him.

It's like this person knows everything I'm thinking.

Then the Pu Ling alien nodded.

"Yes, I have indeed heard of the Ancient Ones."

"It is said that one of these ancients lived on a purple planet orbited by three stars, where they built cities of stone and metal."

"But this is just a legend, because that place is extremely far away, and its exact location is recorded in the Universal Library."

"Universe Library?"

Zhuge Qing became interested after hearing this.

"Is there a universal library outside of Earth? What does it record?"

The Pu Ling alien nodded.

"The Universal Library is very far from this planet. We can't even think about getting there."

"Unlike the Great Library of Is, the Universal Library only records less than 1% of the knowledge of the universe."

"I was lucky enough to go there once, and happened to open a book that recorded this ancient person."

"About a billion years ago, the lifespan of the Ancients' home planet reached its end, so the Ancients split into several factions to carry out interstellar colonization."

"One of them came to Earth."

"The ones recorded in the notes should be the descendants of this branch."

"Although these ancients defeated Is, their descendants sank and degenerated in the endless torrent of time, eventually degenerating into a state of savages."

"From the perspective of you cultivators, Yis has a high realm but low combat power, while the Ancient Ones have a low realm but high combat power."

After listening to the explanation of the Pu Ling people, everyone felt that this was indeed the case.

Zhang Chulan couldn't help but sigh.

"Indeed, Yis may still be living a comfortable life, but this ancient one has become a pauper."

"In the long run, improving one's own realm is the most important thing, and combat power is secondary."

Wang Zhenqiu laughed heartily.

"Battle power is not secondary. If there are no strong ones to protect us, how can those with higher realms enjoy a peaceful life there?"

Seeing this, Xia Liuqing nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, that's the right idea."

"In this era, realm is no longer that important. Since the Ming Dynasty, how many people have been able to become immortals?"

Barron was curious.

"Although I don't know much about the history of Dragon Country, wasn't Zhang Sanfeng, the legendary immortal, a person from the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhang Chulan waved his hand immediately after hearing this.

"No, no, Zhang Sanfeng was not from the Ming Dynasty. He was born in the Song Dynasty and became an immortal in the Yuan Dynasty."

"It's just that many emperors of the Ming Dynasty ordered people to search for Zhang Sanfeng, so the rumor that Zhang Sanfeng lived in the Ming Dynasty spread."

Barron nodded.

"That's what it looks like."

"Old Xia said that no one has been able to become an immortal since the Ming Dynasty. What's going on?"

Zhang Chulan shook his head after hearing this.

"I don't know. No one can explain this kind of thing clearly."

“But it’s true that no one can become an immortal.”

"Maybe it's just like what some people say, the path to immortality is cut off."

"However, the obsession with becoming an immortal is only shared by those extraordinary people during the Republic of China era. Those extraordinary people in the new century who have this idea of becoming immortals are ultimately a minority."

Zhuge Qing's eyes flashed with fire when he heard this.

"It seems that Wang and I are also among the minority."

Zhang Chulan was stunned after hearing Zhuge Qing's words, and then remembered that Zhuge Qing was the kind of person who wanted to become an immortal.

"Indeed, I hope you can succeed. If you really become an immortal one day, please tell us what the scenery in the immortal world is like."

Zhuge Qing laughed heartily.

"Of course you can. Although the path to becoming an immortal is long and elusive, we must pursue it. In this life, everyone should have a goal, right?"

Zhuge Qing stopped talking after he finished speaking.

Seeing this, Feng Baobao continued reading.

I asked the necromancer to ask these ancients why they had become like this. After all, their current situation of only being able to wield a knife is completely different from what they described.

After questioning, the necromancer told me that according to the historical records of the Ancients, when they first arrived, they possessed unparalleled scientific and technological power, and were even able to create life from inorganic matter.

After they descended from space, they created a slave race called Shoggoths to do heavy manual labor for them.

[The Shoggoth slave race is a formless creature, much like the slimes that play supporting roles in some Dragon Quest novels.]

【But Shoggoths can transform into any form through the command of the Ancients.】

[Through this characteristic, Shoggoths are also capable of all physical work and helped the Ancients build magnificent cities.]

[Plus, the ancients were amphibious, and even in the deep seas of the original Earth, they cultivated many magnificent underwater cities.]

[At the same time, some Is also came to Earth, and the two sides launched a protracted war, but in the end, Is was driven out of Earth.]

In this era, the Ancients held absolute power over the entire planet. However, absolute power leads to absolute decadence; the Ancients' sense of crisis began to vanish, and they gradually succumbed to hedonism.

During this period, science and technology stagnated and even showed signs of decline. Some important scientific and technological advances were not even studied and mastered.

[Gradually, the race they created, the Shoggoths, began to develop consciousness and wisdom, and launched their first war against the Ancients.]

[Because it was their first rebellion and they had no experience, all the Shoggoths were suppressed and carefully guarded.]

【As generations progressed, the ancients became more decadent.】

[Also, because the Shoggoths were so useful, they chose not to destroy the race, but continued to use them with caution. However, compared to before, they added many more restrictions to the Shoggoths.]

【But the restrictions will eventually be broken one day. 】

The Ancients gradually lost a variety of important technologies, and even the technology that allowed them to navigate space independently by activating etheric energy has disappeared.

Everyone was fascinated by what was being said, and they were a little surprised when they heard that these ancient people could use ether energy to travel in the universe.

Zhang Chulan looked up at the sky.

Because we are in Kunlun, we can still see some bright stars even in the daytime.

"Ether energy, what is that? Can it allow these ancient beings to freely navigate the universe without any tools?"

White, who had studied this area, spoke up.

"To some extent, ether energy is still a hypothesis. It is an energy particle that exists everywhere in space, just like dark matter, but it is different from dark matter."

"I once used a black magic ritual to communicate with dark matter. Although I was unsuccessful in the end, I discovered an energy different from dark matter within the opened space."

"Although I don't know exactly what this is, it seems that it is probably the legendary ether energy."

"I believe these ancients, in addition to technology, must have mastered a magical ability, which is why they were able to mobilize the mysterious ether energy."

After hearing White say this, everyone else felt that this was very likely to be the case.

indeed.

Simply using technology to explain the abilities of the ancients is too pale. Only knowing magic makes them feel that all this is natural.

Feng Baobao's voice continued.

The Shoggoth rebellion broke out again one day. This time, having lost a large amount of technology, the Ancients were forced to retreat. Although they were able to suppress the rebellion, this turmoil had already reached a point of extreme collapse for them.

[Eventually, rebellions continued in waves, and the Ancients' sphere of influence gradually shrank, until finally, they only controlled a single city on the Antarctic continent.]

[They survived for several centuries by creating an artificial sun, but it eventually burned out and disappeared into the ice and snow.]

[No one knows what kind of incredible technology the ancients mastered.]

【Everything is buried in time and history.】

When everyone heard the ancient's final outcome, they sighed.

"Such a powerful race actually ended up like this. Is this the final outcome of every civilization?"

Zhuge Qing rubbed his chin.

"Compared to these ancients, I'm more curious about what happened to their subordinate slave race, the Shoggoths."

"Did they establish their own civilization, or did they suffer the same fate as the Ancients, fading away in time?"

After saying that, Zhuge Qing looked at the Pu Ling aliens.

"Alien, do you know the specific reason?"

The Pu Ling alien shook his head quickly.

"IDK."

"How would I know about this kind of thing?"

Zhang Chulan was guessing at this moment.

"Since these Shoggoths were able to defeat the powerful Ancients, their wisdom is definitely on par with the Ancients."

"Perhaps these Shoggoths once created powerful civilizations, but ultimately perished like these Ancient Ones."

"Otherwise, with those terrifying biological characteristics, how could we humans have any chance?"

After hearing Zhang Chulan's guess, everyone felt the same way.

indeed.

The Shoggoths in the notes can change their body shapes at will, and they can build huge and magnificent cities without relying on tools, which shows that their power is also very strong.

Humans are probably as weak as chicks in front of them.

Wang Zhenqiu felt emotional at this moment.

"From here, Nayis is still the best."

"To conquer time, what a feat."

"I wish I could conquer time, so I could travel to different eras and experience the customs and cultures of those times."

Zhang Chulan laughed.

"There is a way, there is a way."

"The owner of the notebook once went there 1,800 years ago."

"If you can find the method of the owner of the notebook, wouldn't you be able to travel through time at will?"

Wang Zhenqiu shook his head quickly after hearing this.

"This kind of thing is totally impossible for me."

"It's too dangerous after all."

Xia Liuqing, Baron, Zhuge Qing and others standing by were all in disbelief when they heard that the owner of the notebook had actually traveled back in time.

Zhuge Qing even said:
"Eighteen hundred years ago, wouldn't I have been able to see my ancestor Zhuge Liang?"

Zhang Chulan nodded.

"Of course you can see Zhuge Liang."

"But I won't tell you the details. Maybe you'll have a chance to learn the contents of that notebook in the future."

Zhuge Qing saw that it was a secret and did not ask any more questions.

Balencia, Liu Qing, and White were eager to know the contents of the notebook.

But it is a secret after all.

If you don't join the company or even sit in the company's senior management, you are not qualified to know.

Think of this.

A few people were tactful enough not to ask.

Feng Baobao continued to read her notes.

[The remaining ancients were awakened by the previous expedition team using fire.]

[They melted the ice covering them, and thanks to their good fortune, their cells remained active, allowing them to awaken.]

The leading professor wanted to kill these Ancients to avenge his colleagues, but I stopped him. After all, these Ancients were the last surviving ones in the world. Plus, I wanted to learn more about their history from them, so killing them would be a shame.

After leaving these ancients behind, they told me that behind this mountain was their remaining city, but there were still many Shoggoths sleeping in the city, so they didn't dare to go there at all.

[When I heard about the Shoggoth, I instantly became interested.]

[Getting a shoggoth maid full of energy seems like a very good choice.]
