Mythological Revival Begins with Sanxingdui

"Captain, was I seeing things?"

"We're not seeing things, we've struck it rich!"

The poacher's captain, beaming with delight, then removed a small camera from his collar.

According to the rules of their poaching gang, every hunt must be recorded and marked so that employers can identify the authenticity of the prey.

Unexpectedly, this scene was captured by accident.

It's worth noting that the alien incident caused a global uproar a few years ago. Everyone thought it was just a farce, but unexpectedly, he captured evidence of it here.

He couldn't imagine what benefits he would get in return for sending the video to those big spenders.

After all, for wealthy people, the more confidential the information, the more valuable it is, let alone such a top-secret secret.

On the other side, inside the Yuwang Gene Bank.

Everyone was stunned when they saw Jiang Ran appear wearing only his underwear.

"Jiang Ran, where have you been? Why aren't you dressed?"

Sun Ming was somewhat curious.

Since Lu Shu decided to help everyone enhance their genes, everyone has been sent to different places and they rarely get together.

"Don't mention it, let me catch my breath."

Jiang Ran plopped down on the sofa without any regard for her image.

God knows how he's managed all these years.

From the deep sea to the desert, from volcanoes to glaciers, he has experienced virtually every harsh environment on Earth.

Especially the volcano incident, which almost burned his bones to ashes, and he had to lie in bed for more than a month to recover.

Congratulations on passing the trial. We can now proceed to the second phase.

Lu Shu appeared.

For some reason, everyone couldn't help but shudder after hearing Lu Shu's voice again.

"Is there a second phase?"

Jiang Ran felt that her voice was somewhat bitter.

[Of course, the environment you are experiencing now is only the lowest level of assessment. Surviving means you are qualified to enter the ancient era. Next, I will send you to participate in the real trials. Only when you emerge from there will you have truly evolved.]

After Lu Shu finished speaking, he casually waved his hand, and a projection appeared.

"Is this a map from the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"

When Jiang Ran saw the names marked on it, he immediately recognized that it was a map from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

In ancient times, for creatures to evolve, they had to travel the world, experience different environments, acquire different genes, and thus optimize themselves. We call this process "walking the dragon."

"Are you planning to have us optimize our genes by walking like dragons?"

Gu Changsong reacted instantly.

[That's right, strong individuals can't be cultivated in a greenhouse. Although your current abilities far surpass those of this era, in ancient times you would be no different from infants. These harsh environments are merely to help you adapt to ancient times. The real test has only just begun.]

After Lu Shu finished speaking, he turned to look at Sun Ming, who was standing to the side.

Bring out the instrument you made.

"Huh? I haven't tried that thing yet, do I really need to use it?"

Sun Ming was taken aback.

Because he knew what Lu Shu wanted him to take.

Wormhole generator, also known as time machine.

It is possible to break through the dimensions of space and time through a special magnetic field, allowing people to enter four-dimensional space for a short period of time.

I've checked, the equipment is working properly, and I've already chosen the timeframe—ten years from now.

"future?"

Jiang Ran was somewhat taken aback.

They thought they were going back to the past, but Lu Shu said they were going to a future timeline.

Going back in time is pointless, and due to the limitations of the materials, this wormhole can only be maintained for a very short period, about ten years in total. According to my calculations, only by setting the node in the future can it be maximized.

"Then why ten years?"

Gu Changsong raised a question.

[Because ancient ruins will appear one after another within ten years, the Imperial Star's defense system will also be initially activated. At that time, the spacetime of the Imperial Star will be imprisoned, and no technology will be able to break through it.]

The Imperial Star Defense System is a defensive measure jointly developed by various forces of the ancient civilization.

It can not only shield itself from the perception of external civilizations, but also has extremely strong defensive capabilities, of which spacetime reinforcement is one.

Otherwise, any four-dimensional civilization could travel through time and space at will, and the Imperial Star would have ceased to exist long ago.

"Ten years, sigh..."

Gu Changsong sighed, but said nothing.

For them, ten years may not mean much, but for Gu Changsong's generation, ten years could very well mean the end of their lives.

"Lu Shu, how about giving us a few days to rest, so I can take another good look at this world?"

Jiang Ran suddenly spoke.

Lu Shu frowned and looked at Jiang Ran with some confusion.

But in the end, they agreed to his request.

"Thanks!"

Gu Changsong patted Jiang Ran on the shoulder and thanked him.

Anyone with eyes could see that Jiang Ran was speaking up for him, trying to buy him some time to say goodbye to his family and friends.

"I haven't been home for two years, Yaqin, would you like to come back with me?"

Sun Ming extended an invitation to Qiu Yaqin.

"What gift should I bring?"

Qiu Yaqin blushed and asked nervously.

"you……"

Jiang Ran's eyes widened when she heard their conversation, as if she had seen a ghost.

When did these two get together?

"You're so slow to react."

Seeing his expression, Gu Changsong couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh, teacher, you know too? So I'm the only one who didn't know?"

Hearing Gu Changsong's words, Jiang Ran became even more depressed.

Actually, he didn't have any other thoughts about Qiu Yaqin being with Sun Ming, since he had always regarded Qiu Yaqin as an older sister.

But the fact that his sister was poached right under his nose still made him very upset.

Especially when the person poaching your own brother is the one who's trying to steal your man.

"The New Year is just around the corner. Come to my house then, and I'll have your teacher's wife cook for you."

Gu Changsong said with a smile.

"good!"

Jiang Ran nodded in agreement.

After all, he was an orphan and often went to Gu Changsong's house for meals.

Perhaps it was because they had been confined for too long, or perhaps it was because they were about to go home, but everyone seemed very happy.

Only Lu Shu silently watched all of this.

As an AI-powered bionic beast, it cannot comprehend any of this.

It didn't understand why these people were so happy when they talked about home, as if all their troubles had disappeared.

"You seem confused?"

Jiang Ran walked up to it.

[That's true. Why would you neglect your important business and waste several days going home?]

Lu Shu voiced the question that had been bothering him.

"Because that's a place that can heal all wounds."

Jiang Ran smiled. Actually, he didn't quite understand either, because he was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage.

It wasn't until he met Gu Changsong that he felt the warmth of home for the first time.

To him, Gu Changsong was not only a teacher, but also a father.

"By the way, do you want to come along? After all, we might never be able to come back after this departure."

Jiang Ran extended an invitation.
