Chapter 54 - A Secret And A Mystery
After they arrived in front of the small hill, their guards immediately rushed to the hill. They circled the hill, and then they used the tools they had brought to dig into the hill.
At the same time, the five old men looked at each other.
Old Liu was the first to speak.
"Huh, unnoticed, decades have passed, seeing the four of you still alive, I don't know whether to laugh or cry."
"..." Qin Tian
Old Liu then looked at the old man from the martial group.
He stared at his face for a moment before staring at the clothes he was wearing. His mouth twitched slightly as he stared at the clothes.
"Old Li, you are too conservative. What era is it now, and you still insist on your ancient sect. Look at the four of us, at least we look more civilized."
"Hmph." Old Li immediately snorted before Old Liu even finished his words. "Why say that, just let time tell. You four who fall into secular life are destined not to reach the peak."
The other three old men glanced at each other after they heard Old Li's words, but neither of them answered.
Old Ning finally sighed. "Okay, we're all old, it's time to stop teasing each other. Aren't you ashamed of your grandchildren?" He stared at the youths around him as he spoke. "Now we better focus on what's in front of us."
"Big changes will occur in this world, if we are to survive, this is our only hope. Otherwise, we will only continue to be small players in this world." Said Old Lin.
"Huh." Old Ming also started to speak. "The war of the gods 5000 years ago caused the spiritual energy on earth to disappear. They died leaving behind cultivation techniques, but we can never cultivate in our entire life."
"We may be stronger than ordinary humans, but in front of firearms, we can only raise our hands."
"You should be grateful, Old Ning." Replied Old Li.
"If it weren't for them who sacrificed their lives, not to mention us, even this world wouldn't have lasted until now."
"It's because of the combination of Pangu's ax and Zeus's lightning plus the power of the Buddhas and other gods so that the aliens were defeated."
".... * Qin Tian
This time he was in complete shock.
Zeus in the west, Pangu in the east, Buddha in the south, are common legends that almost everyone knows. But almost everyone thinks of their stories as mere fairy tales.
Hearing their words, Qin Tian couldn't help but wonder if they were real existences.
"Did the gods really exist in the past?"
Of course, he didn't believe that they really were gods.
What are the gods? Even he doesn't know.
But for a small planet like Earth, even spiritual masters were strong enough to make the entire earth tremble if they fought there.
As for spiritual lords, their fight could even destroy a planet like the earth.
Around the sixteen heavens, there were too many small planets like the earth, and they were sometimes simply destroyed as a group of spiritual lords fought around them.
"But if what they say is true, that means there really were cultivators in the past. But how could the spiritual energy in this world just disappear. There must be something else causing it."
"And what are they looking for here?"
Qin Tian looked back at the little hill. With nearly 80 people excavating it, the small hill quickly became smaller.
As he stared at the little hill, he heard the old men talking about the hill.
It turned out that they also just found out about the existence of the hill.
Previously they had said that the earth would change, and they knew it was because each of them had an artifact from ancient times.
Each of those artifacts had not been active for a long time, but just last night, the artifacts that had never been active suddenly returned to activity. And it was from the artifacts that they got the information about this place.
They immediately sent people to inspect this place, and after it was confirmed that it was exactly the same as what the artifacts had said, they immediately rushed over to this place.
They also didn't know what was hidden behind that hill, but they thought that they would be the main controllers of the world if they could get it.
From their conversation, Qin Tian finally knew that their clan was a clan that had existed since that ancient era.
Through the legacy of their clan, they know many secrets that even the governments of the world do not know.
"It's really complicated."
"And the aliens, where do they come from? And what are they looking for on this planet?"
Qin Tian doesn't know what's in outer space.
Earth resides in a galaxy called the Milky Way.
According to current science, there are at least a hundred thousand habitable planets in the galaxy.
But what had made Qin Tian confused all this time was; why no alien civilization ever came to earth.
Given the age of the galaxy itself, it is unlikely that no civilization could span the entire galaxy. Well, unless the galaxy only gives birth to brainless living things.
Now he knows that the earth was visited by an alien group 5000 years ago, but still, it is very confusing if only one group of aliens ever came to earth.
Then where are the other alien groups? Have they never found Earth's existence?
"Or, is this planet inaccessible to outsiders?"
Qin Tian wouldn't be surprised if that was the case because there were even more mysterious existences on this planet.
"Sigh, there seems to be a lot more mystery in this world." He sighed.
He continued to stare at the little hill. As the hill got smaller, his premonition of something hidden behind the hill became more and more stronger.
"Is it a weapon, treasure, or an artifact? Or is it something unknown?"
