The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Seeing Leo's movements, Ilya felt that Leo might have discovered something. Although she was also curious, she also knew that it was not a good time to ask these things, so she found a subordinate to stay in Leo's tent Outside, wait for Leo's dispatch, and tell Leo to notify her immediately if there is any new news here.

Leo quickly flipped through the books in his hand in the tent. He didn't look at the specific content at all, but only looked at the information he needed, such as time, sacrifices, etc., because he didn't need to analyze and record the contents of the books carefully. So he read the books very quickly, and he quickly flipped through the books in the tent, so he ordered the servants outside to bring new books over.

In this way, before dark, Leo had read all the books of the Kaka tribe, and these books filled the entire tent.

Although it seems to outsiders that he just picked up the book and flipped the pages quickly, and the content of each page did not stay for more than a second, but in fact Leo had already found it, and wrote down the information he wanted, and also made it It became clear that the strange building in front of him was indeed built for sacrifice, just as Ilya said.

In the lingua franca of the universe, this building is called Kathu, and it is a very ancient religious building, which was popular in various civilizations in the universe even before the appearance of human beings.

For some unknown reasons, when Omega-level advanced life forms travel in the universe, they will occasionally stay on some living planets that are still in primitive civilizations, and these Omega-level advanced life forms are often found by these planets that are still in primitive civilizations. Civilized life regards it as a god-like existence.

The vast majority of civilizations will understand the truth about the so-called gods after entering the cosmic civilization. Although they are in awe of those Omega-level advanced life forms, they no longer have such pure faith.

However, there are also many cosmic civilizations whose worship of gods will not be weakened by entering the universe. They still retain the purest and most primitive religious beliefs, and even these civilizations have united to form a purely religious mysterious organization.

The Weiya people's fanatical belief in the light of origin is obvious to all civilizations in the universe, so it is natural for the Weiya people to join this purely religious mysterious organization.

This mysterious religious organization will formulate a series of religious rituals, religious buildings and religious regulations common to all civilizations and religions in the universe, so as to avoid conflicts with the laws and regulations of the Supreme Council. altar.

The reason why Leo didn't recognize such a building with such an obvious structure at first glance was mainly because he had never seen this building before. Most of the time, he had seen some architectural sketches and text descriptions in other materials. .

This is because when the Earth Federation entered the sequence of cosmic civilizations, this mysterious organization that unified all religions of the entire cosmic civilization had disappeared for nearly a million years under the attack of the Supreme Council, and even its name did not remain.

No one knew why the Supreme Council would deal with this mysterious religious organization. As a biochemical man who only obeyed the orders of his superiors, Leo never thought of investigating this matter, so he didn't know much about it.

Although this mysterious religious organization completely disappeared under the attack of the Supreme Council, the religions of the various cosmic civilizations that formed this organization are still intact and have not been canceled by the Supreme Council. This may be related to the Omega level of belief in these cosmic civilizations. Most of the higher life forms are related to members of the Supreme Council.

The preserved things of these religions include some rituals formulated by that religious mysterious organization, which also include the sacrifice method and the structure of the altar.

Although Leo is not familiar with the altars of these religions, he is very familiar with the sacrifice methods of these religions, because when he performed a certain character, he once specially studied the materials related to it, and just now by reading those Kaka In the books left by the ancestors of the tribe, he also found the sacrifice method of the Weiya people, and then confirmed some things.

"Did you find any interesting information?" Just as Leo finished reading all the books and was quietly thinking about the problem in the tent, Ilya rushed over immediately after receiving the report from his subordinates, full of curiosity. Leo asked: "Did you find any information about my ancestors and this place?"

When Leo heard the words, he looked at Ilya pitifully, and said, "I did find some information, but I'm afraid you won't want to know."

"Won't you want to know?" Ilya was stunned, frowned, and asked, "Is this information going to be detrimental to our tribe?"

"Of course not," Leo shook his head and said, "It will only affect your perception of identity."

"Identity recognition?" Ilya heard this word for the first time. After thinking about it carefully, he quickly understood the meaning of the word, and guessed: "You mean that we may not be descendants of gods."

"Yes." Leo nodded affirmatively, but did not continue.

Ilya was silent for a moment, and said, "You can study these books slowly here! I'll ask someone to help you get something to drink and eat."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked out of the tent, as if she hadn't asked any questions just now.

"A wise choice." Seeing Ilya leave, Leo couldn't help but nodded in approval, then picked up the creation poem again, and flipped through it.

The identity recognition that Leo said just now was not to scare Ilya by talking about it casually. He did know the identity of Ilya's ancestors, but not from these books, but from the name of the Kaka tribe and the name of the Kasa tribe. this last name.

After he confirmed that this special black building was an altar built by the Weiya people, he also quickly thought that since there is an altar, there must be sacrifices, and what are the sacrifices of the Weiya people?

In the lower lingua franca of the Weiya people, Kaka means sacrifice, and Kasa is a high-level sacrifice, so the ancestors of the Kaka tribe are not only the experimental products of the Weiya people, but also the sacrifices made by the Weiya people. .

In the civilizations in the universe that still retain religious beliefs, sacrifices are not uncommon, but most of the sacrifices are food, precious gems, and energy crystals, and some even simply sacrifice their own science and technology, only a few Some people will still maintain the blood sacrifice ceremony, but they will deny to the public that they have performed such a ceremony. As the oldest and most traditional religious belief, the Weiya people naturally retain the blood sacrifice ceremony.

There are a lot of rumors in the universe that the Weiya people will buy a large number of slaves from illegal places in the dark zone for blood sacrifices, but there is never any definite evidence to prove this rumor, and the Weiya people also deny that there is such a thing.

Now it seems that the Weiya people did not use slaves as blood sacrifices. They basically synthesized various intelligent life through genes for sacrifice.

Leo spent half a day researching about this sacrificial building in these books. It was not in vain. He now at least knows that the inside of the altar is safe and there is no danger. Guess, there must be a city built by the Weiya people nearby.

And he would make such a guess because various data show that only cities with a certain population will build such an altar, so there is not only one research institute for making sacrifices near this altar. A base, or warship, is more likely to have an entire Viayan city.

Although Leo already had some information to prove his guess, he was not in a hurry to find such a Via city lost in the desert, because compared to the Via city, the creation book in his hand Poetry is more interesting.

Perhaps this creation poem contains a lot of unreliable content, but it is undeniable that some hidden information in it can help Leo understand the secrets of this world.

In the next two days, the people of the Kaka tribe carefully prepared the sacrifices, preparing for the first sacrifice of their tribe in more than a hundred years, and Leo's interpretation of the book of creation poems also entered a new stage. end.

He had to admit that this book was the most useful of all the books he had read after coming to the world of Velen, even surpassing those wizard notes, because this book completely revealed the mysteries of this world to Leo's eyes, of course The premise is that the relatively authentic and credible content analyzed by Leo is true.

There are twenty-six poems in the whole poem, all of which are written in short prophetic sentences. The longest one has more than 400 sentences. It mentions how the world was created and why the Creator created the world. How were the humans of the Kaka tribe created? Later, the gods fell, the world died, and the city of gods created by the creator was also destroyed, leaving only wreckage. The humans of the Kaka tribe also woke up from the protection of the creator. The ruins of the city of the gods.

Among the twenty-six chapters, the most important ones for Leo are only the first five chapters and the last chapter. As for the other chapters, they are either too confusing and full of contradictory statements, or simply some Devotional prayers, hymns, etc., in praise of a Creator who doesn't exist.

These first five chapters mainly talk about the process and reason why the so-called creator of the Kaka tribe created the world. In these five chapters, except for the first chapter, which made Leo confirm that the world is in the subspace, it revealed several things. useful information.

The first message is that the world of gray mist is mentioned in the second chapter, and everything is an illusion in the creator's dream.

This information just confirms the things that Leo encountered before. For example, it is indeed gray fog that surrounds Velen's world. In addition, through the power of nightmare, the bad influence of gray fog on him has also been weakened to a lot.

It’s just that the second and third chapters have a lot of contradictory content. For example, the second chapter states that the world is an illusion created in the Creator’s dream, and the illusion will disappear after the Creator wakes up. I have woken up many times, but the world has not been destroyed.

The third chapter mainly tells that after the Creator created the world of Velen, he felt that a world of Velen was too lonely, so he built worlds one after another in the world of gray mist.

It's just that because of the care with which the world was created, the worlds created by the Creator have become uneven. Some of them are only slightly smaller in size, but they are also a complete world. Bits of gray mist encroached.

This information is also consistent with Leo's previous guess. Velen is not the only world, there are other worlds in the gray fog.

Just as there are a lot of contradictory content when the second chapter transitions to the third chapter, there are also a lot of self-contradictions in the third to fourth chapters. Creating a world is as easy as eating.

Another point is that there is an obvious detail in it, that is, like the word world, the word corresponding to the creator has also become plural, that is to say, as the number of created worlds increases, the number of creators also increases.

As for the main content of the fourth chapter, the world created by the Creator himself is too monotonous, so he created a large number of plants and animals to fill the gaps in the world.

An object is mentioned here in the poem, and it is said that everything in the world is produced from this object, and this object is the brood.

This information is very useful in Leo's eyes, because whether it is the lingua franca or the prophecy of each civilization in the entire universe, the pronunciation of the hive is the same, and the food it refers to is also the same, that is, the hive of the Zerg race.

When the Zergs were privately plundering in the universe, the civilization of the earth had not yet entered the ranks of cosmic civilizations, and fortunately the solar system was not in the star area that the Zergs privately plundered.

And when the Zerg was completely wiped out by the Supreme Council, and the remaining Zerg became the experimental products of various cosmic civilizations, the Earth Federation had just begun to explore outer space. clean up.

It's just that after the Earth Federation wiped out the Beposa people, they found some Zerg heritage and Bebosa people's research results on the Zerg heritage from the laboratory of the Bebosa civilization's home planet, including the brood.

Biochemical combatants of Leo's level are not very clear about the research on the Zerg. Whether it is in the Earth Federation or in other civilizations, the related research is very confidential and is not accessible to ordinary people.

The only consensus in the universe is that the Zerg brood is the best biological experiment device in the universe, which involves a series of extremely complicated life disciplines such as life transformation, life cultivation, and life adjustment. Somewhat profanely speaking the Zerg Hive is called the Pool of Origin.

Therefore, judging from the fourth chapter, the Weiya people seem to be using the Zerg brood to create these lives in the Velen world, even including humans.

Compared with the content of the previous four chapters, the fifth chapter shocked Leo the most. The Via people planned to use the Zerg brood to create gods.
