Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 1292

Chapter 1292: Starfall City

Waves of colorful spirit energy ripples that were raised increasingly high above the gray-white fossil forest.

Light sparkled within the ripples, presenting an illusion that was comparable to a mirage.

It was the silhouette of a super-giant city.

The city’s skyline was completely different from that of Dragon City, Red-gold City, Black-corner City, and Hundred Blade City in Picturesque Orchid Lake.

Every building in the looming giant city was slender and tall. Instead of shooting straight into the sky, they curved into soul-stirring curves and intertwined with each other, it was like a primitive forest shining with silver light.

Meng Chao estimated that if the size of this giant city was almost the same as Dragon City, the average height of these buildings had to be more than a kilometer, judging from its city to building ratio.

Then, they definitely were not built with reinforced concrete.

No kind of reinforced concrete could be built to a height of more than a kilometer. It could also dance like a drunk artist’s brushstrokes, unscrupulously displaying the former Turan civilization and the superb technology that they possessed.

Such a city, such technology, and such momentum were like an overwhelming storm. It slapped Meng Chao hard in an unreasonable and unparalleled manner, making him dizzy and shocked.

“This is Xiangtibasha—Starfall City, the oldest Turan city. Before our ancestors descended on this land, it had already stood for ten thousand years, carrying our ancestors across the vast sea of stars in search of a new home.”

The Wolf King seemed to sense Meng Chao’s confusion. While greedily admiring Starfall City’s magnificent scenery, he patiently explained, “You must have heard the ancient legend, right? We Turan people are not the natives of the land under our feet but from another… world.

“Our homeland used to be ten times larger and ten times more fertile than the land of Picturesque Orchid Lake and the Land of Holy Light combined.

“Our ancestors built an incomparably powerful country in our homeland. They created a splendid culture with all kinds of sophisticated and complicated manufacturing tools as well as killing machines. They were not like the orcs of today, who only fight in the most primitive way while waving their swords, spears, and halberds.

“It’s a pity that our homeland was met with a catastrophe. Most of the ancient Turan people died tragically in the raging flames that burned the entire world. Only a few lucky ones were able to gather in Starfall City. It was the only city in the Turan civilization’s past that had the ability to travel between the stars.

“Our ancestors treated the city as a big ship.

“They sailed the big ship and searched in the vast sea of stars, looking for a brand-new home.

“They experienced countless hardships. According to the records in the most ancient war epics, our ancestors encountered black vortexes that could swallow everything in the vast sea of stars. They met hurricanes that could blow their souls to the other side of the sea of stars. They encountered explosions of the stars, which formed a seemingly endless maze. Of course, they also encountered numerous worlds that were so lifeless that even the air was frozen, making them unsuitable for life.

“In the end, when Starfall City was on the verge of collapse, our ancestors were lucky enough to find this place, the land of hope, the land of revival, and a brand-new home.

“It was a pity that Starfall City was already riddled with holes and on the verge of collapse after being bombarded by star debris and storms.

“The fuel that drove the city to ride the wind and waves in the vast sea of stars had also been exhausted.

“Our ancestors could not control Starfall City at all, and they crashed into Picturesque Orchid Lake.

“Ultimately, Starfall City became a burning fireball, or rather, like its name, a falling star. It soon crashed into the center of Picturesque Orchid Lake.

“At the center of Picturesque Orchid Lake, Starfall City set off raging tides that almost pierced through the earth. The entire space was smashed into pieces and turned into the Holy Mountain of Turan as you can see.

“Starfall City was also broken into pieces, and the living environment became extremely harsh. Even with the Turan people’s strong physique, they couldn’t bear to continue living in the city.

“Our ancestors had no choice but to give up this ancient city from their homeland. They moved along the Turan River and gradually moved to every corner of their new home. They paved the way and prospered. One after another, they established Red-gold City, Hundred Blade City, Black-corner City, Red Moon City, Eagle Strike City, and Myriad Flower City…

“As for Starfall City, there were still a large number of weapons, equipment, and mysterious forces from their homeland stored within it, but no one could analyze them for a long time. It was even more impossible for them to move or replicate the weapons, equipment, key facilities, and mysterious forces elsewhere. As time passed, they became the Holy Mountain temple, the source of ancient Turan power.

“As time passed, the erosion of ten thousand years was enough to turn a brilliant giant city into a tomb made of broken walls.

“The purification war three years ago was even worse. It accelerated the erosion, collapse, and destruction of Starfall City.

“Today, the glorious city from my homeland is only left with this mirage-esque illusion.

“Look, how magnificent and elegant it is. It’s full of… the beauty of civilization.

“This is what a real city should look like.

“Compared with Starfall City, Red-gold City, Black-corner City, and Hundred Blade City are all as simple, crude, and laughable as a nest dug out by wild beasts.

“I really don’t know if it’s possible for my clansmen, my descendants, and the Turan people to build an even more brilliant Starfall City in the distant future.”

The Wolf King’s voice gradually became low.

The tremendous amount of information stirred up a raging storm in Meng Chao’s heart, and it could not be calmed for a long time.

Meng Chao had heard about the legend long ago from the mouths of many Turan orcs, including Ice Storm. A burning fireball had passed through the sea of stars and descended from the sky.

According to Ice Storm, this was also the main difference in the origin of the world between the believers of Holy Light and the advanced orcs.

It was the first time he had heard such a detailed introduction.

He could not fully trust the Wolf King’s words, and even if the Wolf King was not lying, this ancient legend that originated from the war epic definitely had some exaggerated, misleading, absurd, and strange powers that confused the gods.

However, the legend of Picturesque Orchid Lake’s origin and Starfall City that came from another world had a very strange coincidence with Dragon City’s strange encounter over half a century ago.

“As expected, the ancestors of the Turan people were like the Earthlings from half a century ago. They transmigrated to the Other World as a whole in a single city.

“However, unlike the passive Dragon City that was inexplicably transmigrated to the Other World in an instant, the ancient Turan people seemed to be avoiding some kind of disaster, a so-called “catastrophe.” They took the initiative, consciously, and chose to escape their mother planet.

“Moreover, before they arrived in the Other World, the ancient Turan had seemingly drifted in the sea of stars for a long time. Is it possible for such a big city to actually travel in the sea of stars?”

Meng Chao did some quick thinking and thought of some of the discoveries and deductions made by the scientists in Dragon City. He nodded in his heart. “It’s possible.

“The experts and scholars of Dragon City’s ancient ruins research center once put forward a very interesting hypothesis.

“They believed that in Dragon City, or rather, in every large river and coastal zone on Earth, according to the law of civilization development, super cities would be born one hundred percent of the time. Many transmigration engines were buried deep underground.

“Those were the legacies left by the Ancients, the oldest ancestors of human beings, for their descendants.

“As long as the civilization of mankind develops to a certain level, they will be able to excavate these transmigration engines and have the ability to transmigrate between the stars. They will be able to transform from a young civilization that can only curl up on the third planet of the solar system into an interstellar civilization that can cleave waves in the vast sea of stars.

“However, for some mysterious reason, the people of Dragon City triggered the transmigration engine in advance half a century ago.

“It’s also possible that the transmigration engine itself had malfunctioned. After billions of years, any malfunction would not be a surprise.

“In the end, Dragon City was caught off guard, and it transmigrated to the Other World without sufficient preparation. It was likely that the transmigration engine had set some coordinates long ago. It was a ‘port’ built by the Ancients in the vast sea of stars.

“As for the Turan civilization in the past, it should be more advanced than the civilization on Earth half a century ago.

“Judging from the random changes of the totem armors, the scale of Starfall City, and the architecture, the ancient Turan civilization might have made incredible breakthroughs in material science, energy science, and even space science.

“They excavated the transmigration engine hidden in the depths of the city and learned how to use it to make short-distance jumps in the sea of stars. At last, they all arrived on this planet with the same destination as the people on Earth. However, they arrived ten thousand years earlier than the people of Earth!”

With that, the “transmigration engine hypothesis” of Dragon City’s transmigration project team in the ancient ruins research center had the support of evidence, and it could also explain many things.

For example, Dragon City’s transmigration.

For example, why had there not been reproductive isolation between the Earthlings, the Turan orcs, and the Holy Light humans?

For example, why could the Earthlings adapt to the environment in the Other World, understand the mysterious runes in the ancient ruins, listen to and obey the so-called Ancient Ruins’ Summon, accelerate their evolution in the dense spirit energy, and continuously become stronger? It stimulated extraordinary power that did not exist on Earth.

But it also brought a brand new problem.

If one could say that the people of Earth and the Turan orcs had been brought to the Other World by the transmigration engine…

Then, what about the Holy Light people?

Dwarfs?

Elves?

The immortal race in the ancient tombs, the abyssfolk in the abyss, and so many strange carbon-based intelligent creatures scattered all over the Other World?

Had they all transmigrated to the Other World from different homeworlds?

If Dragon City’s transmigration had just been a coincidence…

So many civilizations had transmigrated in less than tens of thousands of years, filling almost every corner of the Other World, causing the conflicts between civilizations to be unusually tense. Sooner or later, a great war would break out and engulf the entire Other World.

Was that also a coincidence?

Meng Chao did not like or believe in coincidences.

He smelled a conspiracy..
