Chapter 877 553: Ancient God

Moon people...

The Moon-dwellers themselves claim to be the Moon people.

Lin Yue felt as if he were on the verge of unraveling the greatest mystery.

He looked at Bai, and Bai too seemed eager to fully reveal this greatest mystery to him.

The relationship between the Moon people and the Ice Lizard should be...

"Master, the Ice Lizard tribe are 'Servants of God,' guiding lights for the Moon people's migration and ancient beings above their rank. Legend has it that the Ice Lizard tribe will have one evolve into the highest form of life under the guidance of the Ancient God."

Bai finished speaking and looked toward the sky.

"Thousands of years ago, the Ancient Gods led Bai's ancestors here, bringing the Moon people to this world. However, the Moon people didn't adapt to this world, fleeing constantly to the Moon, enraging the Ancient Gods. They sent countless mutant creatures to infest this planet and brought alien races like the Lizardmen and Wolf-headed Men. The Moon people ultimately killed the Ancient God while it was weak, then flew to the Moon and settled there."

"Bai, are you telling stories? Ancient Gods?" Lin Yue said this, but he quite believed Bai's words.

The Moon people weren't particularly special; rather, they seemed to Lin Yue to only possess technological power.

"Master, the Ancient Gods created the Moon people, high-level beings with unimaginable technological prowess. However, their numbers dwindled, and they were ultimately betrayed by the Moon people, leading to their extinction. One of Bai's ancestors evolved into the ultimate form like Bai now and led the Ice Lizard tribe into hiding underground, continuing for thousands of years to this day."

"As for the Moon people, after eliminating the Ancient Gods, they developed the technology left behind by the Ancient Gods and later traveled to various galaxies to capture humanoid races to this planet for amusement. Earth humans were one of their playthings; however, it seems they encountered the Master and therefore met their demise."

After Bai finished speaking, he again raised his gaze to the sky, to where another planet once hung.

Lin Yue pondered.

From Bai's words, he had almost grasped the full picture.

The Moon people killed their creators, the Ancient Gods, and inherited their technological power, using it as tools for amusement, playing with other intelligences whose technological prowess was far inferior.

Their final outcome was already apparent.

"Bai, what is it that you saw in those ancient scripts? Does it explain so many matters?"

Lin Yue had many questions about this point.

"Yes, Master, after exchanging for the Authority Ring, Bai was taken by the Wolf-headed Men to their sacred land and saw a stone statue, which was Bai's ancestor, who evolved to the top as the Servant of the Master. The stone monument Bai saw afterward was an essential item depicted and spoken by Bai's ancestor, which mentioned secrets meant for the Ice Lizard tribe's eventual successor to inherit after evolving to the peak."

"Oh? The Ice Lizard leader, you mentioned earlier..." Lin Yue thought briefly and suddenly realized something, "Is that why the Wolf-headed Men call you 'Saint,' due to this?"

"Yes, Master, the final tribe of Wolf-headed Men are descendants of the original defenders of that relic, different from those we've encountered before. It's said that the Authority Ring was forged there too. Bai being called 'Saint' is no coincidence; the Wolf-headed Men seem to have been waiting for the arrival of the 'Saint,' who is the servant of the 'God.' When the 'Saint' appears, the 'God' will also descend."

"Ah... So, back then, Bai, your evolved form was much like it is now, which is why the Wolf-headed Men called you 'Saint' and naturally addressed me as 'God.'" Lin Yue nodded, validating his previous assumptions now proven correct.

"Yes, Master, particularly the Master who can hover in the air, possess strong military might, and even has the gems owned by the Ancient Gods, making the Wolf-headed Men believe the Master is an Ancient God. Therefore, they're loyal and hope the 'God' will send the 'Saint' to save the Wolf-headed Men and eliminate the Lizardmen and the Mythical Giant Beast, the Calamity God, returning the Wolf-headed Men to their homeland," Bai added again.

Lin Yue nodded; indeed, that's how it is.

"Then, regarding the Gem stone, has your ancestor explained anything?" Lin Yue felt this aspect was still an unsolved mystery.

"Master's current discovery hints at a law in their arrangement, isn't it?"

"Indeed, they must be placed according to a certain pattern, seemingly possessing triggers related to their elemental composition."

Lin Yue took a deep breath; yes, he guessed right.

"Let me guess, the first to be placed is the carbon element's 'Diamond,' isn't it?"

"Yes, Master, it is indeed the carbon element 'Diamond,' which is the fundamental element of carbon-based life. By placing each Gem stone successfully, it can open the Ancient Gate to the original planet of various life forms, and as stated on the stone monument, the chips rooted in these carbon-based life forms will be completely destroyed, unbound by the Moon people."

Lin Yue raised an eyebrow, wondering how many he had guessed correctly; they were all right!

Bai didn't know what he had done by the altar at the time, nor his guesses then, so when Bai mentioned these matters now, Lin Yue felt everything Bai said was true.

No matter how coincidental, it can't be explained away with "coincidence" when so many facts align.

"But Bai, your ancestor's stone monument, how would they know what the Moon people did, didn't the God get eliminated before the Moon people caught all these humanoid races?"

Lin Yue suddenly thought of this discrepancy; it didn't seem to match.

"Master, it's due to the Ancient God's wisdom. Before being betrayed by the Moon people, the Ancient Gods foresaw this result and told Bai's ancestor of the possibility. The ancestor indeed witnessed the Wolf-headed Men being captured onto this planet, which is why there are myths of the Ancient Gods and ancestors among the Wolf-headed Men," Bai explained.

Lin Yue nodded; yes, it seems to connect both ends.

Now, with twelve Gem stones gathered, it seems all is needed is to send the remaining humans and other humanoids back to their original planets...

Wait.

The Moon people have vanished, so must it be through this door to return?

Through the Ancient Secret Realm Gate, wouldn't it be possible?
