I Am Your Natural Enemy

Chapter 805 303: A Legend Today—Should We Build a Base?

Currently, it seems the effect is pretty good.

You don't have to worry about the Heavenly Hound causing trouble; it doesn't have the power.

Having lost its physical body and transformed into an energy form, coupled with the power of the Bright Moon, it's able to survive on the lunar surface.

In its memory, it's forever stuck in that moment, so it won't suddenly start causing trouble, as it doesn't have the power or possibility.

If it could really break free from the power of the Flame Emperor, then it wouldn't have been caught so easily."

"Flame Emperor..." The General Director was a bit surprised; how is the Flame Emperor involved again?

He looked at the photo for a long time and suddenly asked.

"What's the name of that Heavenly Hound?"

"I don't know."

The General Director, accompanied by Wen Yan, entered an office and turned on a computer.

He then pulled out a photo from the computer.

In the photo was a heavily weathered stele. Wen Yan glanced at it and decisively gave up, not recognizing a single word. At best, he could guess two or three words.

"What is this?"

"It was discovered by an archaeology team in Guanzhong County fifty years ago.

At that time, we weren't quite sure what was recorded inside.

In recent decades, alongside research developments in this area, and the appearance of some ancient experts like the Ghost.

About ten years ago, the entire content was deciphered.

Originally, we thought it merely recorded a version of an ancient myth.

It was just that those texts had immense research value.

The current deciphered version roughly says this:

A guy known as Wu Gang, because of a grave mistake, was exiled to the Moon by the Flame Emperor.

The punishment was to cut down a tree named Laurel Tree, except that every time the tree was damaged, it would immediately recover.

That guy endlessly, tirelessly, and incessantly chopped at the tree.

As for Wu Gang, according to the deciphered result, it's not actually a person's name.

It should be a place name, combined with an adjective, to refer to someone.

Previously it seemed just one version of an ancient myth.

After all, at that time, no one would take it as a factual record.

According to previous assumptions, this might just be recording some important event, with some artistic flavor added.

Or, perhaps it was simply impossible to accurately decode what was being referred to.

No one ever thought that it was straightforwardly referring to the Moon."

Wen Yan was bewildered; what does it mean?

It means that the stele actually documented events, only it didn't record when they occurred, so everyone naturally thought the events happened during the time of the Flame Emperor.

Uh, but thinking again, Wen Yan felt that it didn't seem wrong.

It's indeed related to the Flame Emperor, so saying it happened in his era isn't incorrect.

Wen Yan stood by the window, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and an extremely strange feeling arose in his heart.

Because the moment he had a thought, he started creating something, and then had a high probability of piecing together part of the mythical factual story.

In the past, he surely wouldn't believe what the General Director said.

But he had once experienced the Little Mustache incident, which the General Director also remembered.

Now leveraging the Flame Emperor's power, it doesn't seem too outrageous.

He vaguely remembered there being six or seven versions of Wu Gang chopping down the laurel tree, each different, but the one consistent thing was the act of chopping down the laurel tree itself.

There were indeed two versions among them where Wu Gang was being punished by the Flame Emperor.

At this moment, the General Director, upon re-looking at the intelligence he had once seen, felt completely different from Wen Yan.

This is the reason why, for many things, even if he doesn't understand the details, he needs to know that there is such a thing.

Some things are like this: they seem unremarkable at first glance.

But sometimes, those seemingly unremarkable things suddenly become very important information.

When Wen Yan said that the Heavenly Hound was chopping down the laurel on the lunar surface because of the Flame Emperor's power, he immediately understood many things.

The uncertainty in his heart also dissipated.

He indeed had more confidence in the Flame Emperor's power than in Wen Yan.

And when it comes to mythology, the likelihood of something going awry is extremely low.

Initially, he was indeed a bit worried, about letting a creature like the Heavenly Hound land on the moon, whether it's like a pest falling into a granary.

Now, he is no longer worried.

He can even confidently discuss the situation with the Space Agency.

That light tree standing on the lunar surface is not hidden on the far side, so the probability of it being discovered later is very high, and this news certainly can't be concealed.

Even amateur astronomers with some equipment in their hands should be able to notice the anomaly.

While the precise details can't be seen, a tree with such a brilliant glow should definitely be visible.

Now the issue is how to explain away this matter and the subsequent impacts.

Wen Yan simply slapped his forehead and did this thing, and the remaining matters are the troublesome parts.

Another issue is how Wen Yan threw the Heavenly Hound up there; that's also a big question.

Many people are actually aware of the Heavenly Hound's situation, so keeping it completely confidential was not much of an issue before.

Now with a light tree growing on the lunar surface, and the Heavenly Hound clearly present there.

Given the level of attention, it is practically impossible to fully conceal the news.

It is certain that there will be people coveting the method by which Wen Yan threw the Heavenly Hound up there.
