Chapter 294: Bear the Responsibility. Ancient Power?
After Lin Tian said his thanks, he stood up. Although Lao Gui and Elder Xu stood up for him and fought against the entire Hex City Base, this matter was caused by him. If he hadn’t chosen the goatskin scroll, this matter wouldn’t have happened.
“Elder Xu, Mr. Lao, each of you should take responsibility for your own actions. This matter started because of me, so let it end with me!”
Lin Tian said in a deep voice. His eyes were filled with determination. He didn’t know if this would affect his future, but he had no other choice. Although Lin Tian was only a university student at this moment, he had already taken on a responsibility that many people couldn’t.
“Scram to the side, stinky brat. There’s nothing for you to do here!”
Lao Gui turned his head to look at Lin Tian and scolded him with a smile. He was actually very gratified in his heart. As expected, he didn’t misjudge Lin Tian. Even when faced with such a choice, Lin Tian would still stand out.
Lao Gui was very pleased.
Elder Xu felt the same. Lin Tian was worthy of the original intention of the Armored Envoy Association’s seed cultivation plan. Lin Tian was responsible, strong, had great potential, and had high talent. He couldn’t find any other talent like Lin Tian.
“Alright, leave this place to us!”
Elder Xu said with a smile. Lin Tian a treasure picked up by the Armored Envoy who had the potential to become the president. Elder Xu’s expectations of Lin Tian grew even deeper.
However, at this moment, Lin Guodong slapped the table with his hand. Everyone instantly fell silent like cicadas in winter. At this moment, Lin Guodong slowly raised his hand.
“Bang!”
Lin Guodong slapped the table. Following that, a terrifying energy swept across the entire basement. That terrifying energy directly brought everyone to another strange world. Lin Tian only felt the world spin.
He had the same feeling as when he faced the vice president of the Sacred Association. It was as if he had fallen into an infinite dream. At this moment, Lin Tian’s expression changed drastically. It was also at this moment that, the surrounding environment changed rapidly, and they returned to the basement.
“Do you all forget that I’m here?”
Lin Guodong’s faint voice sounded out. Although his voice wasn’t loud, it was full of majesty. He sat in the center of the table and looked at everyone calmly. The other leaders instantly became as silent as cicadas in winter.
This was the city lord of the Hex City Base. They naturally had to give him face. The middle-aged man from the Dragon Division’s expression was a little warmer at this moment. However, he still crossed his hands and turned his head away. He no longer looked at Lin Tian and the others.
“Alright, sit down. I will say a few words!”
Lin Guodong spoke in a deep voice. The other leaders also sat down after hearing Lin Guodong’s words. No one dared to make a sound. The entire basement did not even dare to breathe, the expressions of Lao Gui and Xu Lao were also a little ugly.
They knew that the city lord, Lin Guodong, was very strong. After all, everyone who could become the city lord at such a young age was extremely powerful. Moreover, Lin Guodong was not only powerful, but his appeal was even more shocking.
Most of the people who were able to enter this basement were people whom Lin Guodong trusted. Otherwise, even if they were in high positions, they would not be able to enter Lin Guodong’s eyes. They were just like the principals of other universities. Were they not strong enough? Of course not.
Firstly, this matter was a family matter of the Hex City Base. Secondly, no matter how the outsiders discussed it, they didn’t have the right to make decision on this matter. This was Lin Guodong’s style, the Hex City University protected their children, and the Hex City Base did the same.
“Alright, Lin Tian, sit down. This goatskin scroll is indeed of great importance, but the situation hasn’t reached the point where we can’t control it!”
Lin Guodong said with a smile. Every word he said was from the bottom of his heart. The goatskin scroll was related to the Sea Monster Empire, and even more ancient matters. However, since the goatskin scroll had appeared for nearly ten years without causing any major accidents, it meant that it could still be controlled.
After Lin Tian heard Lin Guodong’s words, he nodded in understanding. Then, Lin Guodong told Lin Tian about the goatskin scroll. Although this goatskin scroll came from the Sea Monster Empire, its origin could be traced back to another continent.
“This continent is ancient and mysterious. It also breeds magical beasts like us and has magical beast technology, and their methods are similar to ours!”
Lin Guodong said in a deep voice. Lin Tian listened with great interest. Ever since he saw some related books in the university’s warehouse, he also knew a little about other continents.
Ever since the Divinity Revival, every continent on the blue planet had been occupied by magical beast. However, with the appearance of the wise men, humans began to have the ability to fight back. In fact, there were some deeper secrets involved.
Lin Tian had not touched them before because his strength was not enough to come into contact with these things. Now, Lin Tian could know a little about these deeper secrets, the secrets buried in every continent.
“Ultra-ancient power?”
When Lin Guodong mentioned ultra-ancient power, Lin Tian’s brows furrowed slightly. He immediately thought of the matter of the prehistoric magical beast. Could there be a theory behind this, following that, Lin Guodong also briefly talked about the ultra-ancient power.
“Over the past few hundred years of the battle between magical beasts, humans have indeed been at a disadvantage. However, have you ever thought about why after a few hundred years, so many humans can still survive? It’s not just because the wise humans discovered the secret of the magical beast and human’s armor transformation!”
Zou Lijun added on for Lin Guodong. After Lin Guodong heard Zou Lijun’s words, he smiled and let him continue. His mouth started to dry up. After Lin Tian heard Zou Lijun’s words, it made sense. Humans only discovered the power of the magical beast and human’s armor transformation in the past one to two hundred years.
But what about the previous few hundred years?
Would the magical beast keep them in captivity?
It shouldn’t be!
As for the weapons of humans, they would completely lose their effectiveness after 100 to 200 years. At that time, how did they resist? This was a blank history that was not mentioned in any of the books. In the book, there was a general introduction that after several hundred years of evolution, humans had suddenly discovered this power.
“And this power is related to the goatskin scroll. We have been studying these super ancient powers!”
Zou Lijun said in a deep voice. Lin Tian looked at the goatskin scroll after listening to it. He did not expect that there would be so much involved. Moreover, Lin Guodong and the others would actually talk to him about these seemingly confidential matters.
Lin Tian thought that he had not reached the level where he could listen to these secrets for the time being. He was just an ordinary person. However, Lin Guodong and the others did not think so. The power that Lin Tian had displayed was no longer an ordinary person.
Then, Lin Guodong and the others talked a lot with Lin Tian. They talked about the future, about the future of Hex City Base, and even about the future of the entire country.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Tian walked out of the basement. He was in a daze, and his eyes had lost their luster. His brain was buzzing, and he couldn’t accept the huge amount of information.
“Isn’t it a little too early to tell this to this child?”
In the basement, Zou Lijun looked at Lin Guodong. Lin Guodong shook his head, and his smile turned serious.
“We don’t have much time. They have to know about this!”
Lin Guodong said in a low voice, and his gaze became more and more serious.
