Chapter 705: Chapter 523: Old Deng and Others are Repeatedly Shocked_3
The Strangers exchanged glances, their faces darkened, realizing they might have overreacted.
In front of the younger generation, the last thing they should do is panic!
Lose your dignity, lose a lot; lose your face, lose everything.
The ever-composed Crystal Man nodded solemnly, “Since it’s an inheritance, you must guard it well, and don’t let the [Ghost] escape.”
“If two [Ghosts] were to fight, the entire Different Space would be scorched earth.”
“Though the [Ghosts] are dangerous, they’re not entirely useless. The Idealist Perpetual Machine, for instance—solves the energy problem quite nicely.”
Lu Yuan took a deep breath. As expected of the seasoned elders accustomed to dealing with [Ghosts], they managed to calm down instantly.
Meanwhile, the Strangers secretly linked their minds.
[We almost let him suppress us again. This kid actually has a foundation!]
[No wonder he dared to fight Snake-man [Ghosts]. Normally, anyone who sees a [Ghost] would’ve run away.] exclaimed the Batman, with visible shock.
The Old Snake Man flicked his tongue at him a few times, “[Foolish! You were so nervous earlier; you almost ruined our reputation.]”
“[You were just as nervous yourself.]”
Through telepathy, the Old Bat and Old Snake Man exchanged a fiery argument, lashing out at each other.
On the other side, the calmer individuals began to discuss.
[Could it really be possible that we’ve encountered a Peak Civilization?]
[Just a Third-level Civilization with decent luck—don’t get overly excited! Back in the day, our civilizations were all blessed with heaven-defying Qi Fortune…]
The Crystal Man, feeling exasperated, replied: [You’re overthinking. We’re just a bunch of civilizations barely qualifying for escape status…]
[Humans wouldn’t still have anything in reserve, right?!]
[Let’s probe further!]
While the Strangers engaged in a deep internal debate, outwardly, they maintained a calm and composed demeanor befitting their status as elders.
After all, face is more important than life itself!
Lu Yuan, however, wasn’t aware of what these guys were thinking. Having finally encountered allied forces, he simply wanted to get all his questions answered.
Opportunities might not come around again!
Taking a sip of tea, he asked, “Seniors, have you heard of Quantum Civilization?”
Oh? Still more foundation?
“We once picked up a UFO left behind by an advanced civilization… Let me show you the data.”
Lu Yuan displayed the corresponding photos.
The UFO of the Quantum Civilization looked rather unremarkable—something that even a Third-level or Second-level Civilization could craft.
But the Strangers’ spirits were instantly heightened. That unique metallic construction technology possessed an undeniable aesthetic allure.
At this moment, there wasn’t much intent to suppress; they were simply curious to explore the depths of Human potential.
“Quantum Civilization? Anyone heard of it?” the Crystal Man asked.
“Hmm… might not be from the Sixth Epoch. The term sounds rather novel…” The Old Snake Man seemed to recall something and tapped his forehead. “But it’s definitely not a Peak Civilization, otherwise we wouldn’t have such faint memories.”
“Any Fifth-level or Sixth-level Civilization is a core force in their Epoch. Their every action can shape future generations.”
“So, does that UFO contain any significant inheritance?”
All the Strangers were suspicious and on edge, a bit nervous.
They feared Lu Yuan might accidentally spill some taboo words.
Under their intense gaze, Lu Yuan felt somewhat embarrassed and scratched his head, “A hundred years ago, we discovered a severed limb of a [Deformed Ghost] onboard… It triggered a great disaster back then, costing many lives.”
All the Strangers tensed their muscles, their pupils dilated, with some involuntarily trembling.
Old Deng was already advanced in age, his fragile heart couldn’t endure this kind of shock!
(PS: Lately, I feel my writing is decent. I’ve been pushing the main plot forward, yet people say the quality has dropped or the power dynamics are collapsing. This has been a challenge for me QAQ.)
(Severe writer’s block today, so fewer words. Trying to figure out how to balance “entertainment” with world-building and thematic coherence. This segment might feel a bit heavy, but the upcoming journey should be more relaxed—please stay tuned!)
