Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations

What exactly made Aaron reawaken, and whether Aaron's stripped soul can be completely reset again, are all completely unknown things.

Even whether Aaron will fall into a coma again after leaving the temple is something that remains unresolved.

After Aaron looked around, he stopped talking and stood silently next to Bai Ning and Jiang Yingxue. It seemed that he had returned to the cold and capable Aaron.

Bai Ning, who was observant, knew that Aaron was just pretending to be strong. His ability to control his body must have become extremely poor, and his fighting and marksmanship skills must not be as good as before.

This temple is unknown to everyone. The three of them did not continue to discuss anything. The doubts in their hearts can only be answered through on-site exploration.

Even if Aaron can't completely recover, he should at least find something that can restore Aaron's consciousness.

The three of them continued walking deeper into the temple. The dust on the ground became thicker and thicker, and eventually it seemed to have turned into a dust swamp. If not careful, the entire calf would be completely trapped in it.

At this time, they were like climbing a hill made of dust, and no one knew what was at the end.

Not to mention that the dust here can be as thick as the top, even if it is only up to the legs, they will be completely disqualified from exploring here.

Besides, if everything they want to explore is buried in dust, do they still have to dig it out shovel by shovel?

"The environment here is so strange. When we were outside, we vaguely saw that the roof of the temple was damaged, but here there was only dust.

It is said that its origin is weathering, but there is no sand here that can erode it, not to mention that the surrounding stone buildings are all normal. There is no reason that only the central area of ​​the temple is so abnormal. "

Jiang Yingxue reiterated the inconsistency between the internal and external conditions of the temple. This was the biggest question they encountered at present. In addition, they were exhausted from advancing in this dusty land. If this doubt was not solved, subsequent expeditions would seem meaningless.

"Aaron, I feel like your mental state has improved a lot. Why, is it because the pain has eased?"

Bai Ning ignored Jiang Yingxue's questions and asked Aaron a seemingly boring question as usual.

Aaron took painkillers, and now that the medicine has begun to take effect, the pain will naturally decrease.

"yes.

It's probably because the painkillers are taking effect. "

Although Aaron was a little confused, he still responded to Bai Ning's question truthfully.

“No, it’s not about the painkillers.

The closer we get to the central area of ​​the temple, the better your soul-stripping issues will be appeased.

If this is good news, then perhaps your soul stripping problem will be completely solved after reaching the central area of ​​the temple.

To explain this phenomenon, perhaps we can only attribute it to the deliberate changes of latecomers.

Perhaps the external forces that later destroyed this ancient ruins installed some special mechanism in this temple to make the connection between the soul and the body closer.

This special mechanism is to reverse the direction of soul stripping research in ancient ruins and return everything here to the most orthodox religious beliefs. "

Bai Ning interprets the abnormal situation at this time based on religious confrontation. This guess seems to be beneficial to Aaron's illness, but the dust on the ground makes people feel unable to understand it.

If there really is some special mechanism here that can turn all the hard granite into dust, what kind of drastic changes will happen if they continue to stay here?

Or, they will become mummies here, and as time goes by, they will turn into dust and accumulate here, unchanged for thousands of years.

"Extreme religious conflicts can easily be used to explain the formation of this ancient ruins.

However, ancient ruins may also be formed due to internal self-destruction, which is a conclusion that cannot be easily denied.

For example, this ancient ruins is a secret place dedicated to the study of the human soul. Through the various characteristics of the soul, it can be used to generate spiritual energy, or it can be extracted to make various Spirit doll.

Then, looking at the old prison theory of the earth, the body is just a container for imprisoning the soul, and soul reincarnation is the long-term imprisonment of the soul.

If the experimenter at this time wants to interrupt this process of soul reincarnation and completely bind the soul into the same body, is it possible to achieve immortality in a certain sense?

You know, the Atlantis civilization is good at creating genetic creatures, and human cloning technology is not a problem. Is it possible to achieve immortality by allowing the soul to exist in the same body?

Longing for immortality and ultimately being destroyed by it is a closed loop to a certain extent. "

Since Jiang Yingxue had seen through her desire for immortality before, based on this most basic desire of a living being, she made some reasonable guesses about the mechanism that existed here.

Jiang Yingxue's conjecture has some merit, but it is indeed too radical and conflicts with the basic theory of identical twins.

In terms of genetic similarity, nothing in this world is more similar than identical twins.

Therefore, based on this characteristic, the so-called obtaining immortality through cloning technology to rejuvenate one's youth, or even the atomic replicator transmission technology in future science fiction, are basically ridiculous to the extreme.

Twins are two separate individuals, and the differences between them can only be found at the level of the brain, consciousness, and even the soul.

Furthermore, if we consider the idea of ​​soul reincarnation, then at what stage of development does the so-called reincarnated soul possess the fertilized egg?

Even if cloning technology can solve the problem of differences in cytoplasmic genes, can't a cloned human be given birth to a new soul during the development process from a fertilized egg?

"This possibility cannot be denied. If this is really a temple of immortality, then the existences living here are actually no different from gods.

But judging from the current broken attributes, even if he obtains immortality through cloning technology and soul control technology, his immortality is unstable.

Material things, whether they are solid rocks or organic life forms, will eventually turn into various inorganic substances and return to the ecological cycle.

If the entire ecosystem is regarded as a huge living body, we humans are just a tiny cell in it.

Cancer cells can live forever and reproduce forever, but cancer cells are a major threat to the entire survival system, which will eventually lead to the collapse of the entire survival system.

Some beings here may be able to achieve immortality on a small scale, but the destruction of the entire ancient ruins cannot be contained.

Who knows what could exist here? "

Bai Ning's response has a certain philosophical color. Survival and death have always been a relative concept. Nothing can live forever. Even cancer cells that can replicate indefinitely will suffer from a lack of nutritional intake or other inoperable diseases. It will also naturally undergo apoptosis if it resists external damage.

This argument can be regarded as a supplement to Jiang Yingxue's speculation of self-destruction.

“Who knows whether it will live forever or not.

However, the dust here is really annoying.

If ashes represent final death, then the number of dead accumulated in this temple can be described as an astronomical number. "

It is so difficult to achieve eternal life even though they have studied the soul. For people like them who know nothing about it, it seems more difficult to achieve eternal life here than to reach heaven.

If you can't live forever, it seems that you can only choose death. Dust and death seem to fit perfectly at this moment.

“Nothing is created out of thin air, and everything we have here, our guesses about it are just based on the summary of previous experiences.

There are many sources of dust, including weathering, decay, and natural sedimentation, but it may be just a natural biological phenomenon.

For example, there is a parrot fish that specializes in eating parasitic algae on coral reefs, and its feces is an important component of sea sand.

Another example is moss, which can secrete acidic substances that corrode rocks, causing the rocks to eventually become part of the soil. "

Bai Ning suddenly turned the source of dust to the possibility of animals. This imagination is rich enough and bold enough, but considering Atlantis' powerful genetic modification ability, they created some strange animals and plants here, which is also Not impossible.

The three of them rested on the dust pile for a while, and then began the journey again. This feeling of being in the depths of the desert made the exploration at this time feel like a life journey.

The abnormality is obvious. Although the overall temperature here is not high, the air in the dusty area is extremely dry.

I don’t know how long I have been walking, but there is still an endless expanse in front of me. Except for the dust on the ground getting thicker, there is no sign that I can reach the end.

The three light pillars hung in this endless darkness as if they had no support. This temple seemed to be an independent world, so broad that it was almost boundless.

This is obviously abnormal. When I looked at it from outside, no matter how grand the temple was, it was not endless.

The entire temple is located in the center of a large building complex, and even from a distance, the damaged dome of the temple can be seen.

But after entering the interior of this temple, it seems to have turned into an endless dusty desert. People walking in it can't see any hope of crossing through.

The machine responsible for creating emotional disturbance was blocked outside the temple, which to some extent prevented the management core from controlling the place.

The possibility of a fantasy maze can be ruled out with a high probability, but if one wants to rationalize it, it seems that it can only be explained as an anomaly at the time and space level.

In other words, there is a compressed subspace in this temple. Once you enter here, you will be trapped here forever.

This kind of speculation based on the concept of time and space is very normal, but if the managers of this ancient ruins can understand the theory of time and space, the entire Atlantean civilization may undergo a completely new qualitative change, and the great flood will definitely not happen. Become the final chapter of the Atlantean civilization.

Once you master space-time technology, it is possible to directly create a brand new underground world, let alone Noah's Ark.
