There is no guarantee for the lottery? So what?

#323 - Chapter 323 The Truth of the Dimensional Gate

Finally, Xiao Xin switched to a larger truck and picked up Yan Cheng and the others before starting the return journey.

In the truck.

"I simply raised my hand and the knife fell, and the head of that mammoth, as big as a mountain, was chopped off by me, as smoothly as a kitchen knife cutting tofu. That feeling, it can be said, is absolutely unique in the heavens and the earth!"

Everyone was already used to Yan Cheng's boasting, and no one reacted at all.

Only Gou Dehao smiled and said to him:

"Student Yan, right? Since you are so powerful, there is a rhinoceros giant elephant in front, a third smaller than the one just now. Do you want me to send you down to fight it one-on-one? If you win, I'll give you something good, okay?"

"No, no, Grandpa Gou, I was just boasting."

He was only good with his mouth; if he really had to fight one-on-one, he would probably break at least half of his bones and still might not win.

Seeing Yan Cheng being such a coward, the people sitting in the truck all laughed.

Qi Jing asked Gou Dehao:

"Grandpa Gou, what's the deal with those ruins of intelligent races you mentioned earlier? Why haven't we learned about them in our textbooks?"

He wouldn't say he had learned all of the first and second-year textbooks, but he still knew the main knowledge points.

Regarding ruins, it was only mentioned once in a chapter in the first semester of the second year, saying that they were the legacies left by alien races that had long disappeared.

Like the Yuanmou Man Site and the Sanxingdui Site, some important clues and valuable items can be obtained from here.

The textbook also said that if you encounter a ruin, you must report it and it is best not to explore it privately, otherwise you may be killed by the mechanisms they left behind.

But there is only one example of a ruin in the textbook—the Huangpo Snake Cave behind the Jia Other-Dimensional Door.

That was a ruin similar to a karst cave discovered by the first esper, Old Man Hong Wei. Some serpentine characters were left on each stalagmite.

After deciphering, they read that they recorded the life information of the Huang Snake Clan, from which they learned about the rise and fall of the Huang Snake Clan in some periods and the endless grasslands at that time.

It can be said to be another kind of archaeology.

"There aren't many ruins, but there aren't few either. Up to now, a total of hundreds of kinds have been discovered. Originally, they were going to be announced, but except for a few parts, almost all of them are worthless."

Gou Dehao rubbed his mustache with his index finger and continued:

"Moreover, the ruins around the safety zone have almost been excavated. Although some ruins do have real things, it is too difficult to encounter them.

Once, someone discovered two very precious ruins in a row, not only obtaining valuable items from the ruins but also gaining a lot of points.

At that time, after everyone heard about this incident, they set off a craze for finding ruins, and many espers began to explore various places in other worlds.

But the result was not very good.

Although many were found, most of the ruins were almost useless, with incomplete texts, dilapidated buildings, and nothing that could be used, and many people were sacrificed.

The return rate was simply ridiculously low.

Therefore, the matter of exploring ruins to make a fortune has not been recorded in your textbooks.

For you young people, we really put in a lot of effort."

In the past, in the era without various good equipment, the survival rate of explorers was really not high, and there was a possibility of death in everything they did.

Being secretly bitten by small insects, secretly attacked by hidden alien beasts, secretly poisoned by odorless poisonous gas, and various strange environments, as long as you are not careful, espers die faster than ordinary people.

Qi Jing asked:

"Could it be that you are the one who discovered two ruins in a row?"

Gou Dehao widened his eyes:

"How did you know?"

"Just guessing."

Qi Jing only knew Gou Dehao as someone who could discover two ruins, so who else would he guess?

Gou Dehao also reacted to this question:

"You guessed right, those two very valuable ruins were the two I found behind the Yi Other-Dimensional Door and the Wu Other-Dimensional Door. They brought a lot of points to this old man."

Although one of them was split with Mo Wang, it was still a lot even now.

However, what Qi Jing cared about most was not this question, but that mysterious Level 5 Ability Experience Card.

"Grandpa Gou, what was that Level 5 Ability Experience Card just now? Why would such a magical thing appear?"

"This is a long story."

Hearing Qi Jing's question, Gou Dehao's tone suddenly became solemn.

He looked at the few people around him and said:

"Let me tell you a little secret—Other-Dimensional Doors are constantly getting bigger.

In fact, our Earth is not the only planet that is connected to other worlds through Other-Dimensional Doors. In the past, many, many planets were once in the same situation as us.

First, a large number of Other-Dimensional Doors appeared all over the world, and then these Other-Dimensional Doors slowly grew larger and more numerous until they enveloped the entire planet."

Gou Dehao put his hands together and gestured a circle:

"Other-Dimensional Door is a ball, right? We enter from the outer surface of the ball here and come out from the outer surface of the ball there. What is inside the ball?

It is the land of our Earth.

After the Other-Dimensional Doors slowly enveloped the entire planet, the Other-Dimensional Doors dissipated, and our land was equivalent to being completely moved to another world, and the creatures on Earth had to leave the position of the solar system and survive in another world.

Different Other-Dimensional Doors turned our Earth into pieces of a jigsaw puzzle in another world, pieced together in various corners of another world.

We call this process of using Other-Dimensional Doors to 'eat' planets [Star Devouring]."

Looking at the shocked expressions of everyone, Gou Dehao continued:

"That's right, before our Earth, the other world had devoured countless planets with different terrains through [Star Devouring], which is why it has become so large and why the environment is completely different everywhere.

But I don't know why, although it has become so large, its rotation speed has not slowed down, and it still rotates once a day.

That's right, according to our speculation, the other world was originally a sphere about the same size as Earth, and the sun it orbits is also about the same as our solar system.

And we attribute this phenomenon that violates physical common sense to the existence of 'Source Power'.

With Source Power, it can search for suitable planets all over the universe to place teleportation doors and eat those planets containing life.

With Source Power, it can maintain a rotation of once a day, isolate the heaven and earth, and be full of magic!"

Therefore, we call the original planet of the other world 'Source Star', a planet containing Source Power."

Qi Jing then remembered something he had learned before, that there was a layer of interception membrane in the sky in every place in the other world.

Presumably, it is also a product of the Source Star used to balance the ecology and also a restriction to prevent the creatures of the other world from going into space.

"In that case, the seventeen moons in the sky were also swallowed when eating the planet."

"That's right." Gou Dehao nodded.

Song Jiang asked: "Why not announce this information?"

Yan Cheng stretched out a finger:

"I know this, it must be to avoid causing panic, we have to take it slowly."
