Chapter 88 The Existence in Mythology (asking for monthly ticket)

Qi Xiuyuan stayed, and so did the others.

Although most of the newcomers in the training camp were not qualified to sit down like Qi Xiuyuan, at least they were allowed by Bai Ci to stand in the combat meeting room and "listen".

The projector was playing images transmitted from Death Valley. The light reflected a cold halo on the metal table, cutting the solemn faces of the people into fragments of light and dark.

"So, is that the Nibelungen in Death Valley?"

Ye Sheng couldn't help but murmur, and the others also missed a beat.

Death Valley is actually a canyon, and its real name is Nalenggele Canyon.

Just like its name "Gate of Hell", the cliffs on both sides are towering into the clouds and as sharp as a knife, and the top is closed in the shape of a "冂", which looks like a gate made by nature.

At this place with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, even the clouds have fallen. The howling wind carries rolling dark clouds into the canyon from the valley mouth. The valley mouth is like the gate of purgatory swallowing and spitting out ink-black vortexes.

Occasionally, lightning like a white python would illuminate the gaps in the dark clouds, dyeing the rugged rock walls on both sides a bone-chilling white color, but it could never penetrate the surging darkness deep in the Death Valley.

The projected image was clearly silent, yet one could almost hear a high, mournful shriek, hidden within the black vortex of thunder and clouds, causing a sense of loneliness and fear to well up in one's heart.

"The 'Nibelungen' you speak of is the Land of the Dead in Norse mythology. Nidhogg guards the branch of the World Tree that leads to the Land of the Dead. When Ragnarok arrives, the Land of the Dead will wage war on the living."

Bai Ci's pipe flickered in the cold light of the curtain. He glanced at Ye Sheng and explained calmly, "We call the folded space that dragons create with their spiritual realm and the power of words 'Taixu'."

Taixu refers to the mysterious principle, that is, the state of emptiness and mystery. It is mentioned in "Those who leave become more distant day by day" that "the mind returns to Taixu, and the heaven and the earth share the same lifespan." In "Zhuangzi: Knowing the North", it is also said that "therefore, one does not go beyond Lun, nor does one travel in Taixu."

It means that one cannot cross the lofty Kunlun Mountain, nor can one travel to the pure and tranquil Taixu realm.

After saying that, Bai Ci cut the projected image to the next picture. The newcomers were stunned when they saw the content of the picture.

"Western scholars of mixed descent firmly believe that Norse mythology is the oldest and closest to real history, and that they can find clues about ancient dragons in it. We also have our own 'mythology'."

Bai Ci swept his eyes over the people present and said, "Regarding the pure-blooded dragons and Taixu in the Death Valley of Kunlun Mountain, according to our speculation, there is a high probability that they are hidden in the Classic of Mountains and Seas: Western Mountains."

"Four hundred miles to the southwest is the Kunlun Hill. This is the Emperor's lower capital, and the deity Luwu presides over it. He has the body of a tiger with nine tails, a human face and tiger claws. He is the deity in charge of the nine divisions of the sky and the Emperor's hunting grounds."

The words on the projection were reflected in Qi Xiuyuan's pensive black eyes. He narrowed his eyes and said, "So what you mean is that the pure-blooded dragons in Death Valley are the 'Luwu' in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"

"Yes, this is the conclusion reached by the General Staff after analysis." Bai Ci nodded. "I believe you have all heard the legend of Dayu's flood control, right?"

Hearing this, Jiude Aki raised his head and said with interest, "I once studied ancient Chinese myths and legends for fun, and found that many of the contents are very similar to the five solar eras in Mayan legends."

"The advanced civilizations of the first four solar eras all ended in destruction. Matlaktili was destroyed by floods, Iekotel was destroyed by wind serpents, Quiavilo was destroyed by fire rain, and Zondrilic was destroyed by earthquakes."

"According to Mayan records, ancient civilizations preserved the four catastrophes. It was these civilizations that ushered in new solar eras. The floods controlled by Dayu were very similar to the floods that destroyed Matlakhtili in the first solar era."

Bai Ci nodded slightly and said, "Flood, wind snake, fire rain, and earthquake—these four solar eras of destruction were caused by four different monarchs, and we are in the fifth solar era destined for destruction according to the prophecy." "Our dragon clan ancient scholars have a consensus that the legend of Dayu's flood control in the Classic of Mountains and Seas corresponds to the destruction of the first solar era. It was Dayu's flood control that preserved the flame of civilization."

"Yinglong and Luwu were sent by the 'Emperor of Heaven' to assist Dayu in controlling floods. Dayu was the incarnation of a dragon. In our opinion, the 'Emperor of Heaven' could be one of the four monarchs, or even the Black King."

Hearing such a novel theory for the first time, Qi Xiuyuan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and asked, "So the devastating flood was caused by the King of Ocean and Water, while Dayu, Yinglong, and Luwu, who protected the area, are from the lineage of the other three Dragon Kings?"

After saying that, he glanced at the "Dragon in Charge" sitting next to him. Xia Mi also noticed his gaze, nodded with a strange expression, raised her hand and pointed at herself, her lips slightly opening and closing.

"It's been so long, I just remembered it."

After reading Xia Mi's lip language, Qi Xiuyuan twitched his lips.

Wow, these guys actually guessed it right. Dayu's flood control is a family ethics drama of the dragon clan, and Xia Mi or Fenrir also played a role in it.

According to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the flood was caused by the water god Gonggong, which was the will of the "Emperor of Heaven". Dayu accepted the appointment of the "Emperor of Heaven" to control the flood, and Yinglong and Luwu were also sent by the "Emperor of Heaven" to help fight against Gonggong.

If "Gonggong" is one of the twin kings of the ocean and water, then the supreme ruler in Chinese mythology, the "Emperor of Heaven" who rules the heavens and all worlds, could it really be the Black King Nidhoggr?
"That being said, it does seem to make sense."

Yuan Zhisheng spoke thoughtfully, "So before we set off, based on the myths and legends about Kunlun Mountain and Luwu, can we speculate on the situation in Death Valley, as well as the identity and abilities of that pure-blooded dragon?"

"That's right." Bai Ci nodded. "Legend has it that Lu Wu holds a very high position, responsible for managing the seasons of the Nine Divisions of Heaven and the Emperor of Heaven's Garden. He possesses the ability to regulate the temperature and weather to a certain extent."

"Based on speculation, it's highly likely a second- or third-generation species from the Sky and Wind King lineage. Therefore, any hybrid below A-level Sky and Wind King bloodline who enters would be courting death."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of many people present changed, and some officers simply lowered their heads and cursed out loud.

"Legend has it that Luwu is surrounded by some mysterious creatures, such as a group of creatures called 'Tulu', which look like sheep but have four horns and eat humans instead of grass."

As Bai Ci spoke, he controlled the projector to switch images and continued, "And there's this bird creature called 'Qinyuan'. It stings like a bee but is as big as a mandarin duck. Any bird or animal that is stung will die, and any tree will wither."

"At the same time, there is a large group of witches who hope to climb the ladder to communicate with the gods. They surround each other, each holding the elixir of immortality in their hands, using it to resist mortal death and pray for resurrection..."

Bai Ci's words echoed in the combat meeting room, but everyone's brows were furrowed more and more.

Eating people, withering, climbing the ladder to heaven, the elixir of immortality...

These things are just illusory myths in the eyes of ordinary people, but to these mixed-bloods, they are simply obvious.

"Tu Lu" and "Qin Yuan" may be some subspecies of dragon blood, and "Wu" are some deadpools transformed from hybrids.

If this is true, Death Valley is very dangerous.
