Chapter 1595: Monument

At this moment, no one's pupils were not violently contracting, and a wave of goosebumps shot straight up Jiangnan's crown!
Ba Di was so shocked he even took two steps back!
"You're saying the moon's core was compressed down to 10 kilometers in size by someone?"
If you said someone pinched a mountain peak or something, I'd believe it, but he pinched the core of a planet, dammit!
Is this truly something a human could accomplish?
Yet those two clear palm prints on the moon core were exceptionally eye-catching!
Constantly declaring to the world what humans were capable of!
Where exactly is the limit of human strength?
The shock in Jiangnan's heart was beyond words!
Based on the existing information, a complete inference could be made!
The moon core's diameter should originally have been around three to four hundred kilometers!
And the owner of those palm prints actually compressed the moon core down to 10 kilometers with their own hands!
They hollowed out the moon, then brought in a huge chunk of Origin Spark!
They stuffed the spark inside the moon — were those fragments mined by the One-Eyed Army actually pieces that broke off from the main body when the Origin Spark was being stuffed into the moon's interior?
Not only that, but the owner of the palm prints even left the compressed moon core in the middle of the Origin Spark?
Jiangnan was filled with awe: "Just how big is this world? How far did the early ancestors walk their path?"
"Who is the owner of these palm prints?"
Now that Odin had broken through to above Dao Heaven, Jiangnan could be certain that Odin definitely did not have the ability to play with a star core!
Even Yu Shen, who had suppressed an entire era, probably wouldn't have such terrifying energy!
The owner of these palm prints, by their own strength, brought such a huge piece of Origin Spark from outside!
They hid it inside the moon with unimaginable means, and even squeezed the moon core smaller and placed it here?
If there really were gods in this world... they would be no more than this, right?
Jiangnan couldn't help but look at Bai Kou: "Do you know the purpose of this curse array?"
At this moment, looking at the nine silver rings surrounding the moon core and the concentric curse array carved into the ground, Bai Kou's face flushed with excitement!
"(ºꇴº❅) Although I don't understand the specific operating principles of the curse array, I roughly know its function!"
"You can think of the moon core as an energy source! The nine silver rings serve to suppress, absorb, and convert energy!"
"So this is essentially an engine that almost never runs out!"
Jiangnan swallowed hard!
Sure enough, it was something like a Dyson sphere, except what was enclosed wasn't a star-sized object, but the compressed moon core!
"And what about the concentric circle curse array below? It seems unfinished!"
The center of the curse array below was blank, while six concentric circles had already been carved on the outside!
Bai Kou trotted over to check, unable to contain her excitement!
"That's it! It must be! The curse array on the ground is the same as six of the nine silver rings, except it's reversed!"
"The function is to receive and disperse!"
"This curse array is definitely used to ignite a star! Using the moon core as an energy source to drive the curse array, thereby fully stimulating all the energy within this piece of Origin Spark!"
"Then it can ignite the celestial body, causing the moon to emit the light of origin!"
"Taiyin ignites the star, to illuminate all living beings! It must be like this!"
At this moment, not only Jiangnan was shocked, but everyone present showed looks of extreme astonishment!
So!
Was this the true meaning of igniting the star?
In this way, the entire moon would emit moonlight to illuminate the world, revolving endlessly around Lanxing!
It would be enough to shine on all humans on Lanxing, coupled with the rich spiritual energy on Lanxing now, to break through the racial limits of all humanity!
What a crazy method and action this was!
The efforts of several generations were all for this!
Was this the opportunity for victory, the capital to win?
Jiangnan, flushed with excitement, also quickly ran over to examine the Star-Igniting Curse Array!
Careful Jiangnan noticed that on the unfinished curse array, the methods of carving were also different!
The outermost two circles were carved most casually, and also the most ancient!
The middle two circles had characters flowing like dragons and snakes, strokes like iron hooks and silver paintings, with a majestic aura of mountains and rivers coming forth! Grand and imposing!
But the innermost two circles of curse text were each stroke like knife marks, giving a feeling of sharp edges!
Bai Kou gently stroked the innermost two circles of curse text, her eyes reddening!
"(❅ᵒ̴̶̷̥́~ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀) This is Yu Shen's handwriting, I recognize it!"
Jiangnan was startled. Yu Shen had been to the moon and broke through the racial limit here. The innermost two circles were carved by Yu Shen?
"During Xiao Di's era, she never came to the moon, right?"
Bai Kou nodded: "No. Xiao Di only told me before she died that hope was on the moon!"
Jiangnan swallowed: "During the second spiritual energy resurgence on Lanxing, Xiao Di didn't come up. Then who carved the middle two circles?"
Even Bai Kou was confused now, because the six completed circles of the curse array were not all from the same person!
They spanned three entire eras!
Logically speaking, Jiangnan and the others were the fourth batch of people to arrive here!
"By the way, how is this Star-Igniting Curse Array used? It's still in an unused state, right?"
Bai Kou nodded: "Because the curse array is not yet complete — three circles are missing. As long as we reverse-carve the three curse arrays from the nine silver rings that haven't been carved yet onto the array center!"
"Then Taiyin can definitely be ignited!"
Jiangnan's heart burned. Yu Shen knew that the world was completely spiritless, and her era had no chance left, so she only carved two circles!
Leaving the last three circles for people of the next era to carve?
In this era, the moon must be ignited!
Looking at the Star-Igniting Curse Array, Jiangnan licked his lips!
He had saved up 950 million skill points. Ten million could be used once for Soul Imprint, lasting 30 seconds each!
With 47 minutes of imprinting time, it was enough for Jiangnan to copy the entire Star-Igniting Curse Array!
Just as Jiangnan was about to start imprinting, he heard Zhong Yingxue's shocked voice from the side!
"(Ő﹏Ő๑) Xiao... Xiao Nan! I think I know who the owner of those palm prints is, and who carved the middle two circles!"
Jiangnan was startled: "(•︠~•︡) What's the situation?"
Zhong Yingxue pointed in shock toward the innermost part of this space!
And there, a huge blood-red stone tablet stood!
The color of the tablet seemed stained by blood, heavy and eye-catching!
Jiangnan's gaze fell on the top line of text, and his pupils contracted!
"This... this is the earliest Hua Xia ancient script, Han characters!"
It was over three thousand years old!
The tablet read:
I originated here, grew here, reached my peak here, fought for this, this is my homeland! But my heart yearns for the starry sky!
Thinking of my homeland, later generations may incur calamity because of me, so I leave a spark on the moon! From then on, we owe each other nothing!
Leaving here, never to return... Don't miss me!
—Jiang Fan
These words were written very casually, the same handwriting as the outermost two circles of the curse array!
Jiangnan murmured to himself: "Jiang Fan... Is he the owner of those palm prints?"
The fierce man who pinched the moon core and hid three hundred kilometers of Origin Spark in the moon!
He made all preparations, leaving the spark of hope for future generations!
This Jiang Fan was probably the era lord of the first spiritual energy resurgence, right?
Just how strong was he?
It was these early ancestors who fought back the Holy Star and scared the Ten Thousand Races into creating the Ten Thousand Races sanctions convention!
How fierce did they have to be to accomplish all this?
Although Jiangnan didn't know what era three thousand years ago was like,
In that era, Jiang Fan's name must have shone even brighter than the sun!
But Jiangnan couldn't quite understand a few of the sentences he left behind!
Why was Jiang Fan certain that later generations would incur calamity because of him? And what did "owe each other nothing" mean?
"Leaving here, never to return"? Did Jiang Fan go outside?
At this moment, too many questions filled Jiangnan's mind! But there was definitely no one to answer them!
Jiang Fan was the first to leave words on the tablet, but he wasn't the only one!
Further down was Small Seal Script!
Below it read:
Sword sweeps through the eight wastelands and six directions! Building the Great Wall to fend off enemies!
Dog fart gods are all traitors! Prosperous age not peaceful, emperor worries!
Only hate that this body fades with the Dao! Time doesn't wait for me to ask heaven's reason!
—Emperor Qin
Jiangnan's scalp went numb!
∑(°口°๑) Em... Emperor Qin?
Was that the figure-collecting maniac?
The First Emperor had also been here?
Holy shit! Holy shit wow!
Xiao Di didn't go to the moon! He came up?
Remember, Xiao Di, Bai Kou, and Hua Xia's First Emperor were contemporaries!
The amount of information on this message board was simply explosive, dammit!
So the middle two circles were carved by Emperor Qin?
Although just a few hasty lines, Jiangnan could feel the First Emperor's domineering spirit — directly cursing in the poem, right?
How angry must he have been?
By the way, the real purpose of the Great Wall... and those figures...
Jiangnan swallowed, not daring to think further!
But in that last sentence, Jiangnan felt a deep sense of unwillingness...
And in this era, there weren't only Emperor Qin's words!
There were others' too!
Nine heavens furious dragon shakes heaven and earth! If there's an afterlife, I'll kill gods again!
—Ye Tianling
Jiangnan swallowed!
Σ(°Д°๑) "Snow Snow... This... could this be Brother Ye's ancestor?"
Surname Ye? And most likely a dragon transformation ability!
Even Zhong Yingxue and the others were stunned. Those who could leave words on this tablet were all characters who amazed an era, right?
Whether it was the earliest Jiang Fan, Emperor Qin, or Ye Tianling!
But below Ye Tianling's line, there was more Small Seal Script!
He writes, I write too. Don't know what to write... I researched a spiritual energy gauze robe, pretty impressive!
—Chen Dao
The expression on Jiangnan's face directly froze!
(≖_≖)...
Hey hey hey! Ancestor, aren't you breaking the atmosphere here?
Could you be any more casual? At least write a poem or something!
This Chen Dao was definitely Chen Daoyi's ancestor!
The combat power measurement unit from two thousand years ago?
Speaking of which, as expected of an ancient family — the ancestors were all formidable characters!
