Chapter 125, Third Location: The Giant Stone Tablet

[Team Leader Zhang: All ability users who have not yet reached the singularity, proceed immediately!]

Location coordinates

Upon arrival, immediately proceed to the star location to collect the powerful magnet, then storm the singularity to evacuate.

[Powerful Magnet, a product of a subordinate civilization of the Intelligent Civilization — (GG)]

"Brother Liu, are we really just the two of us going to find the Mayfly King?"

After sending the message, Leyu couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He had already applied the antidote and was walking into the underground tunnel opened up by the mayfly with Liu Bai.

"That's right, just the two of us." Liu Bai nodded, dodging the robots heading towards the tunnel exit, and said, "Their robots should have already been sent to intercept the ability users, while Ephemeral is intercepting the two team leaders."

"If the Mayfly King is inside this building, then his defensive forces are currently extremely limited!"

"Besides, even if the Mayfly King is replaced by the First Spirit, its strength is only equivalent to the limit of the zeroth rank. If we find a good opportunity to launch a sneak attack, we still have a chance to kill it!"

According to the star system, the strength of a zero-level civilization spirit is as follows: the first generation is equal to the limit of zero-level, and the second generation is equal to 60% of the characteristics.

"Alright." Le Yu had no choice but to swallow her questions after hearing Liu Bai's logical analysis.

Given the current situation, if things go wrong, the entire army could be wiped out, and he might also perish here.

The only way to break the deadlock is through Liu Bai.

After all, all the creatures he saw, except for Liu Bai and Puff who were unknown, had less than a day left to live.

Everything here, including mayflies!

After seeing that Le Yu was alright, Liu Bai glanced at the time.

【7:31】

It's been six minutes since the robot last saw them.

He remembered that the time when this problem occurred in the previous two playthroughs was about the same or even the same!

Whether it is true or not, we'll have to verify that in this cycle.

Thinking of this, Liu Bai rushed over.

If the mayfly can see it at the appointed time, then there is very little time left.

This also means that he will have to revert to the earliest time point next time.

Da da da.

When Leyu saw Liu Bai run, it immediately wriggled its tentacles to follow. After a few minutes, the man and the fish arrived in front of a magnificent and ornate doorway that was more than three meters high.

There were also two robots at the entrance.

Liu Bai stopped and glanced at the robot, then raised his wrist to check the time.

【7:34】

The two robots standing guard at the entrance ignored them.

"Is this where the Mayfly King resides?"

Le Yu looked up at the magnificent gate, but a blurry light blocked out the view inside.

"Is that right? Let's go in and take a look." Liu Bai looked at the entrance, which was vastly different from the previous two locations.

With such lavish decorations, it should logically be the location of the upper echelons of the Ephemeral Civilization.

Liu Bai slowly raised his shoulders and walked into the portal, with Le Yu following behind.

The next moment, the white light shone and then dispersed.

The heavily guarded palace or the location of the Mayfly King that Liu Bai had imagined did not appear.

The scene that appeared before the two of them was a large open space, on which stood a rectangular stone tablet more than three meters high.

At this moment, a robot was quietly floating at each of the four corners of the stone tablet, as if standing guard.

Upon seeing this scene, Liu Bai immediately frowned.

This isn't the location of the Mayfly King either, so there are two spots left. Could it be that the Mayfly King isn't in this building?

Compared to Liu Bai's worries, Le Yu, with a curious expression, wriggled towards the stone tablet.

"These characters—are they the history of the mayfly civilization?" Le Yu approached the stone tablet, squinted, and then took out a pair of glasses and put them on.

"History of the Era?" Liu Bai slowly walked to the stone tablet.

Only then did he notice that there were extremely small characters engraved on the stone tablet, but he couldn't understand them; they were crooked and looked like tadpoles.

Liu Bai was even more puzzled: "If it's a historical record, why would the mayfly mark this place on the map?"

Le Yu didn't respond, but quickly scanned the inscription on the stone tablet with his eyes. After a moment, he said with surprise, "That's right, it records the history of the Ephemeral Era, and the history of each era! It also contains various technological information and so on."

"Technological information?" Liu Bai frowned, looking at Le Yu beside him. "Aren't they supposed to be able to inherit memories?"

Le Yu shook his head, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes: "According to the records on the stone tablet, their inheritance only includes language and some knowledge. Never mind, you can see for yourself. I'll give you the text conversion mirror."

After saying that, Le Yu took out a pair of glasses and tossed them to Liu Bai before continuing, "Mayflies only live for a day in our eyes, but in their perspective, they live for a hundred years."

"This period of 100 years is locked. Every time the third star returns to the world, it will be shrouded in high temperatures, and all technology and civilization will be reduced to zero."

"So they spent several epochs building this stone tablet."

Le Yu recounted the story from the side, while Liu Bai put on his glasses and looked at the stone tablet.

In an instant, the crooked characters on the stone tablet began to move and slowly transformed into characters he could understand.

[The First Era, the Rise of the Mayflies] persuaded the various tribes to formally unify the Mayfly Civilization, with escaping the once-in-a-century apocalypse as their primary objective —

The Second Age —

The information was processed extremely quickly. Liu Bai glanced at it and the text appeared on his glasses. The content was like reading a history book, recording how each era developed, etc., all in just a few words.

In the course of this process, the mayfly script, in its attempt to escape the century-long cycle, developed religious eras, theocratic eras, dynastic eras, and so on.

In order to break the century-long cycle, mayflies constantly adjust their direction and make changes under various developments.

Finally, in the 365th era, they accidentally developed technology.

After this era, the mayfly civilization made great strides forward, and various industrial reforms began.

It took the mayfly civilization several eras to fully transform into a technological civilization.

In the 371st era, mayflies created satellites and successfully set foot in the starry sky above them. It was at this time that they learned the truth about the end of the world: it was caused by three stars.

Seeing this, Liu Bai's eyes showed confusion: "Their lifespan is only one day, why would they want to escape this planet?"

Mayflies lay their eggs on the night of Civilization Day, and it takes a year for them to hatch. Even if they leave the planet, there is still a one-year vacuum period, right?

"Because the incubation time is controllable in the mayfly civilization, they are only born on Civilization Day due to environmental factors."

After saying that, Le Yu pointed to the stone tablet: "You'll see when you look at it. It's written on the back of the stone tablet."

Upon hearing the answer, Liu Bai continued reading.

But just then, the robot beside them suddenly pointed its electronic eyes at the two of them: "Unauthorized intruder detected—"

boom!

Liu Bai didn't even glance at the robot, raised his hand and fired an arrow, then looked at the time.
