Infinite Fighting

Chapter 89 [Ark of Hope]

The fishing boat docked beside the island, and Zhang Ji looked towards the island.

Under the bright moonlight, you can see that the place is full of dilapidated buildings, most of which have been damaged and weathered by the passage of time.

Holding the cross, Zhang Ji got off the boat. A stream of water formed a platform, and he stepped on it to gain leverage and leaped onto the shore.

It is really not easy to move while carrying such a heavy object.

The island is very large and there are no large creatures around. Only some insects, weeds and trees can be seen. There are also many buildings that have been damaged beyond recognition.

Zhang Ji came to a broken wall.

The material of this broken wall is not like ordinary soil and bricks.

He reached out and broke off a piece. It felt very hard, no worse than ordinary steel. It was slightly less tough and relatively more brittle, but much stronger than bricks and stones.

This looks like a city?
Zhang Ji carefully recalled the memories he had from his previous life.

I only vaguely remember that the guide said to go to the island with the cross, follow the route of the ruins and go inward, then reach the core of the ruins, write the answer to the question on the clay tablet, and you can get the core of the ruins, [Ark of Hope], and get the ruins that is most suitable for farming in the early version.

Zhang Ji turned his head and started walking forward along the road.

The space here seems to be isolated from the outside world, and there is a special design in it that allows rainwater to clean it naturally, so that even after such a long time, the road has not been completely buried.

Zhang Ji could distinguish the road more clearly.

All along the way, there were only dilapidated houses.

The whole city suffered an unimaginable disaster.

In other words, not just the city, but the entire civilization.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a pyramid-like building appeared in front of Zhang Ji's eyes.

This type of ancient building is generally more common in Guning State.

At the entrance of the pyramid, there are two huge statues, thirty meters high. They look like guards, each holding a spear, which are crossed and blocked in the middle of the entrance, as if to prevent people from entering.

Zhang Ji vaguely felt subtle energy fluctuations emanating from them.

"It turns out there is a battle segment. If I don't bring the key according to the guide, I will probably have to fight against these two brothers." Zhang Ji murmured.

When he was reading the guide, he only remembered what the awesome guy who made the video said: "No need to fight", "No need to run around", "Easily get the strongest farming home in the early stage".
He didn't say anything about this crucial information!!

Of course, it could also be because he fast-forwarded too much.

As I said before, he is very impatient. When reading a guide, he usually only reads the beginning to know what is needed, then fast forward to see how to get the things, and he doesn't care about the rest.

After all, there are long advertisements inserted in between those videos, and some messy stuff is added to keep you in suspense and make you watch the next video or something. If there is someone who can watch it without skipping any of them, Zhang Ji would give him a thumbs up.

Holding the cross, Zhang approached the huge pyramid entrance cautiously.

When Zhang Ji approached, a silvery-white light burst out from the cross, and the two statues moved.

“Boom, crack, crack~!”

With a roar, the crossed spears of the two statues separated, as if indicating that the ban was lifted.

Zhang Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

If a fight really breaks out, it would be difficult to deal with these two big guys.

When you enter the pyramid, the light inside changes slightly. The internal architectural structure has been designed so that the light from outside can always be softly reflected into the interior of the pyramid, making the light inside much brighter than the outside world.

There are many patterns carved in the passage.

The patterns begin at the entrance and tell a story.

Countless people gathered together to form a great civilization, from which extraordinary human beings emerged.

These humans can manipulate the earth and control rain, fire, and air currents.

This civilization prospered under the leadership of many extraordinarily powerful humans.

Until a crack appeared in their sky.

Countless streams of water poured down, hitting the city and destroying everything.

At the critical moment, those extraordinary pioneers stood up and resisted the flood.

One of the powerful beings carrying a cross contributed the most strength, and his strength was just enough to fight against the water flow, so in this regard, he had an advantage.

In such a disaster, his status as the one carrying the cross was highlighted, and because of the need, he became the new leader.

Under his leadership, people began to organize their escape, but no matter how they fled, the flood continued to spread, eroding their living place.

At this time, other wise pioneers in civilization found the seeds of hope through another crack in the sky.

With the help of this seed, they built a large ship.

This ship can preserve the flame of civilization and lead them out of danger.
The scene ends abruptly here.

I remember Zhang Ji who was behind me. The player who made the video guide was still explaining it.

The rest of the information is described in the church's scriptures.

Afterwards, Jesus died of exhaustion while trying to protect the people and retreat, but they were unable to use the seed, and the rift in time and space inexplicably healed again.

After the flood receded, the remaining people began to reproduce and establish the Kingdom of Mammon.

The seeds of hope were left behind, and the cross of Jesus was set as the key to open it.

If disaster strikes again one day, people can use the cross and leave on the boat of hope, preserving hope and fire.

Zhang Ji had already reached the center of the pyramid.

In the empty hall, the surrounding moonlight was gathered together.

Shining on the clay tablet in the center.

Above the clay tablet is a question written in ancient Mammon.

【When disaster strikes, should we escape or face it? 】

The answer to this question must be written on a clay tablet. If you answer incorrectly, you will be teleported out of the island. If you answer correctly, you can get the Ark of Hope.

Answering here, either avoiding or facing, is wrong.

Classic misleading question.

The real answer can be found in that thick and nonsense Bible.

The answer is [leave hope].

And it must be written in the ancient Mammon language which is more than 6,000 years old.

Modern simplifications won’t work.

Zhang Ji really admires those puzzle players.

“If I remember correctly, it’s written like this.”

Zhang Ji's fingers gently moved across the clay tablet, writing four words.

He even went to learn some ancient Mammon language before coming here, and by referring to the guide he found the four words "leave hope behind".

After writing four words, Zhang Ji withdrew his hand.

Immediately, the clay tablet illuminated by the light underwent some changes. The marks on the clay tablet gradually disappeared, returning to its original smooth and flat appearance. The next moment, the hall began to shake.

"Boom, boom, boom~!"

Zhang Ji felt that the entire hall was rising and the top of the pyramid was getting closer and closer to him.

No, it's not rising, it's falling.

The pyramid is sinking!!
Zhang Ji watched as the top of the tower got closer and closer to him, until there was only a space of less than 40 square meters left at his location.

The prismatic crystals hanging from the top of the tower gather the moonlight and reflect it around the pyramid. Special energy pathways light up and gather on the clay tablet.

In the middle of the clay tablet, a white ball of light about the size of a fist rose up and gradually floated to the same height as Zhang Ji's eyes before it stopped.

Although this thing seems to have flown out of the clay tablet, it actually exists in the crack of another space.

Even though these civilizations did not have very advanced technology thousands of years ago, they were already able to play with space technology thanks to some extraordinary beings with special abilities such as superpowers.

You know, in the setting of "Supreme Fighting", many interstellar civilizations have not even mastered space technology.

It feels like a primitive tribe giving you a "controlled nuclear fusion reactor construction blueprint".

Zhang Ji stretched out his hand and grasped the ball of light.

The moment the palm touched it, light burst out, and then it disappeared.

A ship pattern appeared on the palm of Zhang Ji's left hand, and then the pattern disappeared.

Portability, which is one of the reasons why the Ark of Hope is known as the best ruins in the early stage.

It can be directly attached to the contactor, using the contactor as an anchor point, and can be carried wherever it goes.

This is the real portable world.

Zhang Ji closed his eyes slightly, and his consciousness could clearly sense the situation of the world within the palm of his left hand.

With a slight thought, Zhang Ji's figure disappeared from the spot, and the next moment, he appeared in another world.

The sky was white, and all around was white. The ground was extremely flat, with only some brown soft soil piled up in it. There were slight air currents flowing around, indicating that there was air circulation in it, and it was suitable for most life forms to survive.

The whole space is like a big box.

Zhang Ji walked around and quickly figured out the approximate size.

This place is only about the size of four football fields, and there is an invisible space wall blocking the edge.

Compared to the Fengshen Ruins which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, this place can be said to be much smaller.

However, according to the information Zhang Ji knew, the value of this place was incomparable to that of dozens of Fengshenxu realms.

It's not about portability.

Instead, it has the ability to obtain energy directly from the outer void.

Here I would like to talk about the operating mode of Xujie.

Most of the artificial ruins have simulated sunlight and so on inside, so as to ensure that the inside is as suitable for survival as the outside world. The simulation mechanism is to rely on the main world to share energy from the current world for operation.

That is something similar to a demiplane.

But the Ark of Hope is different.

This thing draws energy directly from the outer void.

In other words, it and the main universe are two independent systems.

In a sense, it can be understood as a super-micro universe.

When it comes to this kind of function, the minimum starting level is red (legendary).

The only thing Zhang Ji knew that could be compared to it in the early stage was a (legendary) level World Tree sapling.

But that's something from another world that only appeared in later versions. The world they have now is the best.

All I can say is that those pioneers of Jesus were really lucky to find this thing in another world in the space-time rift.

In addition, in addition to the independent system, it has another special function, which is the main reason why it established the title of the strongest farming home in the early stage.

That is the energy it converts, which is more suitable for plant growth and easier to be absorbed by plants.

Whenever Zhang Ji stayed in here, he felt relieved from his fatigue. The soft white light around him made him feel very comfortable.

Unfortunately, he cannot directly utilize this energy at this stage. He can only grow crops, raise some exotic animals, and indirectly obtain the resources.

Otherwise, why would Zhang Ji need a focusing tower or something like that? Just relying on this thing as a power furnace can ensure that there is no shortage of high-level energy that can be converted and used before it stabilizes to S-level.
