Chapter 663 The Secret of Humanity
After seeing what Director Aquarius left on the note, the more than 80 branch directors present could not help but fell into silence.
Although the content on the note is extremely short, the information conveyed is not thin, especially the writing with dripping ink that penetrates the back of the paper, which clearly shows the writer's psychological state of breaking through the defense.
But what is a bit puzzling is that hasn't Director Aquarius already fulfilled his wish and successfully replaced Mr. Taurus in the Watching Palace? Why would he write a note to curse people after he succeeded?
"In short, this is what you see."
After putting away the note filled with the wrath of Aquarius, the Sagittarius director in the square frowned and said:
"Aquarius seems not to be ready to keep its promise and continues to remind us of possible crises, so we must be mentally prepared. Before the next visitor appears, we are likely to lose part of the protection from the Watching Palace."
really……
After listening to Director Sagittarius's words, the expressions of all the branch directors suddenly became serious.
In addition to preventing the true god from coming at will, the most important function of the watch palace is to provide early warning before a major crisis occurs. If the person who ascends the palace is unwilling to cooperate, then this important function will be abolished.
The "stall" of the Cleanup Bureau is really not small. It has been able to survive crises time and time again in the past, and the advance warning from the Watch Palace is indispensable. Now the Killing King Association is watching eagerly from the side. If this warning is really gone, in the future, The "job" will inevitably be stretched.
"I don't need to tell you what this situation means. You should all know it."
After raising his head and looking around, and looking at the expressions of the branch directors, Director Sagittarius sighed and said:
"So in order to deal with possible situations that may arise next, I discussed with Director Jinniu and decided that we must be prepared for the worst case scenario. It is best to forcibly bring back the director in the old land... What do you think?"
…
The director of the old land...the director of the cleanup bureau?
When he heard this, Leon, who was brought to the audience by the red-haired director, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows curiously. However, before he could ask, a warm hand came up.
‘The director is over there in the old land, looking for things that we humans lost when we escaped from the old land. The importance of this task is not even worse than that of the Watch Palace. ’
A soul wave was transmitted through the palm of his hand. After explaining the situation of the general director, the red-haired director frowned slightly and said:
' Director Sagittarius is just that. If even Mr. Taurus thinks that the mission needs to be interrupted, the director will be If you find it back, the current situation in that bureau may not be as bad as usual. ’
‘Director. ’
Curiosity was aroused by the red-haired director's words. Leon reached out and held her palm, and asked curiously:
‘What on earth is the Director-General looking for in the old land? Is that thing more important than the safety of the Cleanup Bureau? ’
‘It’s not more important than the Cleanup Bureau, but it’s not much worse. ’
After a slight hesitation, the red-haired director leaned back, and then said with a serious expression:
‘The situation with the Director-General is fifth-level intelligence. Only Director Huang Dao can know it. You can just listen to it, but you must not tell anyone, not even Emma and your sister. ’
Good guy, is this news so important?
In Lyon's somewhat surprised look, the red-haired director explained through the fluctuation of his soul:
'This matter started a long time ago. When our ancestors of mankind escaped from the ruined old land, they were almost killed. The Supreme Four Pillar Gods took away everything. Although they successfully killed the Four Pillar Gods later, they did not get back what they took away. The director-general suspected that those things had been left behind by the Four Pillar Gods in the old land, so he took the three directors Aries, Virgo, and Scorpio and ran back while taking advantage of the stable space and time in the old land to find our ancestors. Things that were stolen. ’
‘What were those things that were taken away? An anomaly more powerful than the Watch Palace? ’
'Perhaps more important than the Watch Palace. If those things can really be found, then our human race will surely be able to move towards a better future. ’
When he said this, the red-haired director pursed his lips and said with a somewhat yearning expression:
‘According to the description I heard from Mr. Taurus, the Supreme Four Pillar Gods took away a total of four things from our ancestors, namely [Lifespan], [Inheritance], [Creation] and the most important [Contact]. ’
"..."
life? Inheritance? create? connect?
'To put it simply, the maximum lifespan of our ancestors' bodies is close to the maximum lifespan of our human souls, which is about 500 years. However, after the [lifespan] was plundered by the [King of the Old Ones], our human's No matter how healthy the body is, it is difficult to survive for more than one hundred and fifty years. ’
? ! ! !
While 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 [Crimson Lord], our ancestors were able to pass on part of the knowledge they had mastered directly through their bloodline, and master it as they grow older.
The [Creation] and [Connection] that were taken away by [Cicada of All Things] and [Asur's Sleep] respectively refer to the almost endless inspiration that is always bursting out, and the connection between souls. The ability to communicate, express one's own ideas perfectly, and understand the other person's thoughts perfectly. ’
"..."
With a maximum lifespan of five hundred years, a bloodline that can pass on knowledge, endless inspiration that never runs out, efficient and thorough spiritual communication... is this horse still a human?
'Hard to believe, right? ’
After glancing at the stunned Leon behind him, the red-haired director blinked and said:
'The first time I heard Mr. Jinniu speak, I was also shocked. But these are all from the very ancient past. Our human ancestors are no longer here. They are only in the archives of the General Administration. , there are still some records left with just a few words.
Since the third generation of directors, seniors from the Cleanup Bureau have been taking advantage of the lulls in the turbulence of time and space to return to the old land, trying to find what was taken away from our ancestors, but so far there has been little success. ’
‘What you mean is...those seniors didn’t gain nothing? ’
‘It’s a small gain! ’
Facing Leon's inquiry, the red-haired director nodded slightly and said:
'When we first settled in this world, it was difficult for us humans to live longer than seventy years. It was our predecessors who recovered some [life span] and raised this limit to about one hundred and fifty years old. Now we use our souls to The way of communication is part of [connection].
As for the remaining [Creation] and [Inheritance], very, very little of the former has been recovered. Only a few humans can awaken this inspiration, while the latter has almost nothing, and seems to have completely disappeared along with the [Crimson Lord]. ’
