Chapter 1367: Chapter 1368 The Mystery of Origin

In the end, it was only Feng Yuan and Agunas who went over to check the situation. As for Qi Chen and the others? They chose to stay here, with Belusir and Najia protecting them. After all, entering other regions still requires passing through the Space Gate, and no one knows what might happen when the time comes.

Feng Yuan also couldn’t guarantee that nothing unexpected would happen at the moment they crossed the Space Gate, and besides, Qi Chen and the others didn’t seem particularly interested in this ruin.

Crossing the Space Gate, stepping onto the rocky ground, Feng Yuan glanced at the nervous Xiao Ji in his arms, gently rubbing the belly of Xiao Ji in its Eggshell Chicken form, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Relax, this isn’t something dangerous for you."

It was precisely because of the Space Gate’s concerns that Feng Yuan didn’t bring Big Cat and the others over. After all, if anything unexpected happened, Big Cat and the others, unlike Xiao Ji, couldn’t resist the turbulence of space.

Although Kong Qing wasn’t afraid, he worried that Pomiti and the others would encounter some issues, so he also left Kong Qing there. Veronia wasn’t particularly interested in this ruin, and since Belusir stayed in the hall, it naturally chose to stay there as well. Ultimately, only Agunas and Long Boduo accompanied him here.

Examining the room, Feng Yuan found that the ruins seemed to have a preference for spherical structures. But why is that? Feng Yuan didn’t quite understand. At the heart of the sphere, a giant stone orb was floating with numerous magic patterns and runes on its surface. Feng Yuan examined the runes carefully and said,

"This seems to be an energy extraction device."

"So that’s what it is!"

Agunas exclaimed angrily. Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said,

"Let me study it a bit further. I think this device might not be extracting the power of the Earth Energy Circulation."

"These runes look somewhat familiar?"

Rubbing his chin, Feng Yuan said with some confusion. He indeed felt these runes were quite peculiar. In the early Dynasty Era, which empire could have been so advanced to develop magic pattern and rune technology to such a perfect extent?

"The energy inside this device is very strong. If it exploded, it should be equivalent to a full-power strike from a Legendary Level Spirit Beast, right?"

Long Boduo examined the huge stone orb and said, while Agunas speechlessly glanced at Long Boduo and said,

"Be grateful you have no authority related to fate; otherwise, who knows what might happen."

"Tch, even Belusir doesn’t have the ability to speak things into existence, how could I possibly have it?"

Pouting, Long Boduo said dismissively as he moved aside to inspect this spherical room. Unlike the space where Feng Yuan and the others originally discovered the altar with the book pages placed, here, although the stone orb was at the center, there wasn’t an energy platform laid flat. A complete stone passage connected four entrances in a cross shape, with stone pillars below supporting this stone passage in mid-air.

Xiao Ji looked at the giant stone orb with curiosity. That stone orb felt odd to it, like there was a special power within, but it couldn’t figure out what kind of power it was.

Studying it carefully, Feng Yuan discovered that this device seemed to be extracting stray energy, but those processing devices made him feel somewhat strange.

"This thing seems to be used for extracting stray energy from magma. What do you think might be the situation with this ruin?"

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Agunas swished its tail. It didn’t believe this ruin could be any good, but if it’s merely extracting stray energy from magma, it doesn’t seem to be a problem.

At least, it had no reason to take action against the ruin for this. Of course, if it were Ernis, that would be a different story. For Ernis, ancient ruins themselves are mistakes, especially those containing certain special technologies.

"The White Wolf Deity caused such a commotion, even it suspected something happened here."

Veronia looked around and said with a smile. At this time, Qi Chen and the others were slowly advancing within the ruins to investigate the situation. Since they asked Feng Yuan before, who indicated that the area was a residential zone and thus should not be dangerous, they were not required to stay in one place and wait.

However, as the group proceeded, Dou Yanlan looked at Yang Hongzhi with some confusion and said,

"The level of civilization of this ruin seems a bit too advanced. Is this really a relic from the early Dynasty Era?"

Not to mention the exquisite stone chairs and such, but looking at the remaining furniture, even considering the development in the Omeilia Region, such items were not commonplace even in the mid-Dynasty Era. Dou Yanlan was quite skeptical, suspecting that such objects would only be treasures used by emperors during the mid-Dynasty Era, so why would they appear here?

Moreover, comparing it with the occasionally visible patterns inside the ruins, these items clearly belong to the same period. Belusir thought for a moment, shook his head, and said,

"This should be from that period, but there’s something very wrong with these things. Moreover, after Ernis found out our location, it warned us to be cautious. It seems to know about this ruin."

"But doesn’t Ernis destroy ancient ruins whenever it sees them? Unless this ancient ruin isn’t in Omeilia or contains no technology, but this ruin clearly isn’t outside that scope."

Najia examined the surroundings with puzzlement. Even in a seemingly resting room space, there were still magic patterns. It’s unclear why these were spread to such a place during the initial design.

Scratching his head, Qi Chen said,

"Perhaps Feng Yuan might know the reason?"

"He might not know about this place, and I think slowly uncovering the truth behind the ruins could be quite interesting, but alas."

Shaking her head, Dou Yanlan said. Although she really wanted to solve the mystery of this ruin herself, unlike Feng Yuan, while she had learned a lot of extracurricular knowledge, compared to Feng Yuan, she understood much less, inadequate to support her analysis of everything here.

"The origin of this ruin? Indeed, very suspicious, but unfortunately, I don’t know what’s going on here either. This strange feeling is truly unpleasant."

Surveying the surroundings, Veronia whispered. Yang Hongzhi recalled something and said,

"This ruin should have no relation to entities outside the world, right?"

"It shouldn’t. Whether it’s the magic patterns or runes, they’re our world’s things. As for the rest, they’re merely characteristics from the early Dynasty Era in the Omeilia region. This incongruous feeling is only concentrated on the magic pattern system. As for those exquisite carvings, while they might have been difficult for humans of that period, they weren’t necessarily so for Spirit Beasts.

However, there weren’t many Spirit Beasts at that time, so it’s unlikely they would have been engaged in carving work."

Najia pondered and said, as it had once lived during the Dynasty Era, it was relatively familiar with these things. Yet, even with that knowledge, it still felt strange. After all, how did items from seemingly two different periods get mixed together?

Returning to the Energy Hub, not seeing Qi Chen and the others did not surprise Feng Yuan. After all, he had previously mentioned that if they wished, they could explore the ruins. As for the area just now, Feng Yuan and the others had previously explored it once. They could confirm that it was a special device for collecting stray energy from magma, likely located within the mountain nearby, probably within a magma pool, but this area was disrupted by Earth Energy Circulation, so Agunas and the others couldn’t accurately locate the space coordinates.

Switching the position aligned with the Space Gate, Feng Yuan examined this Space Gate and said,

"If this magical-like thing could be promoted, it would be interesting. It might impact today’s technology~"

"It’s not that simple, and ultimately, aren’t these things still about the utilization of magic patterns and runes? These things are still in use even now."

Rolling his eyes, Agunas said speechlessly. Stepping through the Space Gate again, Feng Yuan felt like he might have caught onto something, but that thought flashed by so quickly, it disappeared before he could think further. Looking at the room in front of him where magma continuously flowed, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"This place seems to be destroyed."
