At the entrance of the research institute.
A large number of researchers in white lab coats were already waiting.
"Cough... cough... "
Before entering the research institute, the researchers had already handed the elder a few pictures. After a fit of severe coughing, the elder stuffed the blood-stained handkerchief back into his pocket and looked at the patterns extracted in the photos, murmuring sowhat absently.
"It's this, it's this..."
"This is the Goblin Civilization, an ancient script of the goblins, with a profoundly rooted history. The Goblin Civilization is also an extrely ancient civilization, its historical roots can even be traced back to the mont of Human Civilization's existence."
"These patterns generally only appear in the tombs of the goblin nobility."
"The aning of this phrase is—"
"'All tribes co here, all must kneel.'
"'The place where this hall stands is the center of the Cosmos.'
As the words fell.
All the researchers around turned pale, even the ard guard personnel lost so of their professionalism, pricking up their ears. It was clear their attention was more focused on the elder's words than on being vigilant of their surroundings.
"Elder Wei, can this be confird?"
The head of the institute asked hoarsely with a serious face. Although he knew Elder Wei had been focused on studying the Goblin Civilization for many years, and that the Nami Civilization's research on the Goblin Civilization was the most profound, he couldn't help but confirm again.
Indeed.
These few words were sowhat too shocking.
If it were true, then the appearance of the Celestial Palace might represent a potential catastrophic crisis that could destroy the Nami Civilization.
Even if it's a treasure.
The Nami Civilization cannot bear the weight of such a treasure.
When a civilization naively possesses a treasure it cannot bear, the only outco is destruction.
Obviously—
Elder Wei also understood the significance of this matter, and was not angered by the questioning of his expertise. Instead, after looking carefully for a long ti, he slowly confird: "That's what it ans."
"It's unknown how many Divine-level Civilizations exist in the Cosmos."
"This palace was likely painstakingly built by the Goblin Civilization of a Divine-level civilization."
"Ordinary civilizations wouldn't carve such inscriptions on their palaces."
In the Cosmos.
There's always a cause-and-effect relationship with boasting.
No civilization would boast with such words if they couldn't bear the consequences, and would face backlash. To dare carve these words, they must have great confidence, likely having already reached the pinnacle as a Divine-level civilization.
But even Divine-level civilizations wouldn't readily say all tribes would submit.
These words are sowhat too grand.
The institute leader remained silent, pulling out a few more photos from his pocket and handed them over: "Here are a few more, please take another look, Elder Wei."
Elder Wei took the photos, carefully examining them for a long ti. He then pulled out an ancient book for cross-reference before finally speaking.
"The goblin script on this picture ans, 'Those who revere, survive; those who question, perish.'
"Another one says—"
"'Ti bows here, space curls here.'
"'Cause and effect are written here, fate is adjudicated here.'
"The last one is."
"'Past and future converge at this mont.'
"'All things will eventually fall silent, only this hall endures.'
"..."
"..."
"..."
Everyone present remained silent, not a word spoken, each person's heart was in turmoil and the ard guards were most deeply affected. In the life-and-death crisis, their previously gossiping hearts suddenly vanished without a trace.
"Most likely a Divine-level civilization."
Elder Wei broke the silence with a sowhat hoarse voice, "If this palace was deliberately sent by that Divine-level civilization to our location, perhaps we can start writing our wills now, and there's not much ti."
"Have any space-ti anomalies been detected?"
"No."
The institute leader shook his head with a grim expression: "Three hours ago, the highest-grade space-ti anomaly detector of the Nami Civilization was brought here, and no space-ti anomalies were detected."
"It's not an unknown space-ti anomaly."
"But rather..."
"There are simply no space-ti anomalies."
"How is it possible for there to be no space-ti anomalies?" Elder Wei frowned: "Any use of space-related ans, such as teleportation or wormhole traversal, should result in space-ti anomalies. The larger the mass, the harder it is to conceal. How could such a massive palace suddenly appear above the planet without any space-ti anomaly?"
"It's like throwing a stone thousands of kiloters in diater into the ocean without creating a splash."
"This defies common sense."
"But that's how it is."
After a mont of silence, Elder Wei finally spoke again: "But if it was a Divine-level civilization, then it all becos understandable. Has any Civilization Mark been detected inside?"
"No Civilization Marks whatsoever, radar shows no living beings inside, just emptiness."
"Theoretically, the lack of Civilization Marks ans the civilization to which the palace belongs has already perished."
"But—"
"We cannot confirm whether it's due to Dinsion Reduction that we can't detect this part of the information."
Elder Wei let out a long breath, choosing not to speak further. Much later, he suddenly murmured quietly.
"Fortunately, I've lived long enough, I've barely broken even."
"That's good."
"Having spent a lifeti studying the Goblin Civilization without ever seeing it firsthand, now, at the end of life, witnessing what is very likely a Divine-level Goblin Civilization, is quite fulfilling."
"It's a bit of a pity for you all."
