Chapter 1158: Spiritual Key

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As expected, the Ancient Dream Saintess was deeply attracted to the runes on the stone wall in the dream.

She even forgot about Tree Root’s existence beside her.

She appeared to be partially focused and partially absent-minded. She sat cross-legged in front of the crystal-clear stone wall.

Meng Chao thought that it was useless. Battle God Lei Zongchao had sat in front of the runes on the stone wall for several years.

Yet, he was still unable to decipher the secrets of the stone wall runes.

Even if the Ancient Dream Saintess had the ability to stimulate brain cells and extend dream time to the limit, it was impossible for her to decipher the hidden secrets within the stone wall runes in one short night.

As expected, the Ancient Dream Saintess lowered her eyelids after silently staring at the stone wall runes for a moment.

Then, she simply closed her eyes.

Had she given up so soon?

Meng Chao subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

The Ancient Dream Saintess should not have given up so easily when faced with information that the Rat God most likely left behind.

What happened next shocked Meng Chao.

The Ancient Dream Saintess’ lips trembled rapidly as she chanted a profound and complicated incantation softly.

Light golden ripples spread out from her body and gently collided with the stone wall’s runes.

They actually caused the depths of the stone wall to emit a light wave that was a hundred times more brilliant than before.

All the runes seemed to resonate with the Ancient Dream Saintess’ chant and, they vibrated at an extremely high frequency.

“This is…”

Meng Chao simply could not believe what he was sensing.

After stripping away all the miscellaneous sound, light, and electrical effects, and environmental materials in the dream realm, the half of his subconscious above the dream realm, sensed that the most fundamental thing was the Ancient Dream Saintess’ consciousness. It was turning into hundreds of golden threads that were shining like stamens and piercing deeply into his brain. They reading the ancient runes that originated from the ancient ruins in his memory.

Then, using a method that Meng Chao could not understand, she stimulated her brain waves and used the brain waves of a specific frequency as the “secret key” to unlock the runes. Then she analyze and extract the vast amount of information contained therein.

“How is this possible?!”

“Why does the Ancient Dream Saintess know how to unlock these ancient runes?”

“These runes are obviously unbreakable encrypted information that can only be unlocked with the correct secret key. Why is the ‘secret key’ hidden within the Ancient Dream Saintess’ brain waves?”

A heaven-shaking storm rose up in Meng Chao’s heart.

Impacted by the raging waves, the dream world shook violently.

Fortunately, the Ancient Dream Saintess was completely focused on unlocking and reading the ancient symbols, so she did not notice that the Dream Realm had gone out of control.

Even if she did, she treated it as a normal phenomenon to decrypt the ancient information. She did not want to interrupt the progress of the analysis and get up to observe the abnormal movements around her.

Her brain waves turned into ripples of a specific frequency and flowed into the ancient symbols, following her golden thoughts.

The nanoscopic “threads” that formed all the strokes of the ancient runes bloomed as they were unlocked and loosened.

Each ancient rune was like a soul-stirring flower bud that slowly blossomed, shooting out a kaleidoscope of magnificent information. It turned into a floating database in the void, which was ten thousand times larger than Dragon City’s library.

In an instant, endless information appeared in front of the Ancient Dream Saintess.

Of course, it also filled Meng Chao’s entire brain.

It was a sudden, painful, and joyful super surprise for Meng Chao.

It was shocking how the information, which had originally been in the form of ancient symbols, were highly compressed and stored in his memory cells. After that, it instantly decompressed and expanded by billions of times.

It almost made his memory cells explode instantly like corn kernels thrown into a pot of oil.

It was as though the syllabus of over a hundred majors from Dragon City University and the five schools in the alliance had forcibly been poured into the brain of a primary school student.

That would probably not result in the primary school student becoming a well-read genius who knew everything and had it all memorized.

It was more likely that his brain, which had yet to fully develop, would completely burn up, and he would turn into a complete idiot.

Fortunately, Meng Chao’s brain had been tempered by the flames of the apocalypse.

The Kindling had instilled a tremendous amount of information that surpassed his limits countless times.

His memory cells were a hundred times more malleable and flexible than that of ordinary people.

That was the only reason he was able to barely escape the “information storm.”

However, he was happy that the information contained in the ancient runes, which had been unlocked by the Ancient Dream Saintess, was too crucial and precious!

He scanned the fragmented information pictures that were floating above his brain.

Meng Chao saw the scene of the Ancients who had transformed from a carbon-based life form to a partial energy life form.

The Ancients in the picture were in all kinds of weird postures.

In each of the postures, the veins and nerves in their bodies would turn into colorful, glittering arrowheads that slowly flowed around their bodies in a mysterious and complicated way.

It was the method that the Ancients used to construct spirit magnetic fields in the ancient era.

Every spirit magnetic field represented a way to utilize spirit energy, which was also a fatal skill that could destroy the world.

Many spirit magnetic fields were unheard of in Dragon City, which had just established a spirit energy cultivation system.

Right now, however, they were clearly displayed before Meng Chao’s eyes… No, they were carved into his cerebral cortex and deeply embedded in his memory cells!

Some of the pictures were of the Ancients concocting all kinds of weird carbon-based life forms.

Through the images, Meng Chao discovered that the Ancients were colossal, ancient carbon-based life forms.

They were very similar to the mother, who later destroyed the entire ancient civilization on the surface of the Other World.

It seemed that the Ancients and the mother had a deep entanglement indeed. Their fates had been tightly intertwined from the very beginning.

There was also a large amount of information related to the Ancients’ secret cultivation techniques, the technology to genetically modify various carbon-based life forms, and the images of the ancient war after the mother lost control.

Meng Chao had once connected to the monster’s mainframe and browsed through the entire process of the ancient war.

However, at that time, he was completely on the side of the mother and viewed it from the perspective of the ancient beasts.

These runes contained a large number of scenes that viewed and even participated in the war from the perspective of the Ancients.

For example, suspended in the crystal-clear diamond-shaped floating battle fortress and overlooking the magnificent ancient city, there was an overwhelming sweeping tide of ancient beasts.

The suffocating sense of oppression shocked Meng Chao’s soul greatly.

Meng Chao could not help but immerse himself in it. He devoured, digested, and absorbed the astronomical amount of information as if he was hungry.

A lot of information made up for the mysteries that he could not figure out no matter how hard he had thought when he was cultivating in the two ancient ruins.

Like a broken chain, the most critical link was mended, and the circulation circuits of spirit energy were connected again.

“I see!”

Meng Chao felt enlightened again and again.

Even when Battle God Lei Zongchao explained to him the construction methods of the spirit magnetic field, he could not describe the mysterious feeling. He could just vaguely say, “My intuition should be like this.”

However, after analyzing the information from the ancient runes, lightning flashed in Meng Chao’s mind nonstop. Most of his confusion was easily solved.

Even more amazing was that such “analysis, deciphering, and extraction” did not require the consumption of Meng Chao’s brain’s potential and mental energy.

The Ancient Dream Saintess was also deeply attracted to the mysteries of the ancient symbols, and she could not extricate herself.

She was not like Meng Chao, who had gone through deep exploration, research, and study with countless experts in the two ancient ruins.

She also did not know how the ancient war truly looked like.

That did not stop her from feeling an indescribable shock from the flood of information that surged out from the ancient symbols.

From this, she firmly believed that she had touched the “domain of the gods.”

The Ancient Dream Saintess’ chanting became more and more hurried.

Her brain waves were also becoming more and more intense.

She gradually entered a state where her brain was overdrawn.

That was only natural.

The ancient symbols were mysterious, powerful, and overbearing.

While the Ancient Dream Saintess held the correct “secret key,” if she wanted to activate the secret key for a long time and continuously decipher and extract the information contained within the ancient symbols, her brain and even her soul had to maintain an extremely high-intensity operation and burn continuously.

As such, the Saintess’ normal state of mind could not be so strong and secure.

Perhaps, it was because she had to put more brain cells into the “deciphering ancient runes” operation.

She would also take the initiative to close her line of defense, turning her brain into an undefended city.

Meng Chao had been waiting for that moment.

When that moment arrived, he would be able to enter and invade the Ancient Dream Saintess’ brain!
