Chapter 217 – Three Different Civilizations

Mu Zi looked abashed upon receiving the compliment . “My little bit of strength isn’t something worth mentioning about . Aioros here is the true expert,” pointed out Mu Zi to Wang Zhong . “We’ll be depending on him during our venture into the pyramid . ”

Aioros laughed heartily, before extending his hand up for a shake . “Being too modest will make you seem much too arrogant, Mu Zi,” commented Aioros . “I enjoy getting to know new people . Call me Aioros, or Aioros if you prefer!”

Wang Zhong shook his hand with a grin on his face before greeting Aioros . “It’s my pleasure to meet you!”

Aioros’s presence was like a ray of sunshine to many, bright and warm . Compared to Wang Zhong and Mu Zi, he seemed to be older than them by about seven to eight years . His face was filled with the boldness and enthusiasm that was characteristic of the Amazons, and his voice always bright and cheerful . He possessed a unique charm and charisma that drew many to his side .

Beside them, Simba could no longer wait . “There’s also me, Baldy!” yelled Simba . “How could you not introduce the most important member, Simba?”

Before Mu Zi could say anything, Aioros had already turned his attention towards Simba in amazement . “Ah! A pet that can talk?”

“…” Speechless, Simba’s face fell . The previously excited Simba had become sullen, his shoulders slumped in disappointment .

The little baldy nodded his head before chiming in, “You see, I told you that you’re a pet . Everyone who sees you who think that way too . ”

“I’m Simba!” cried out Simba in a thunderous roar . “The almighty Simba!”

“Simba huh…this is really incredible . A pet that can speak, and even has its own name . ” Aioros clicked his tongue in astonishment . “Is it yours, Wang Zhong?”

“I! Am! Not! A! Pet!” shrilled Simba . Simba initially had a favourable impression of Aioros, but to think that he was like Mu Zi, calling him a pet . Indeed, birds of the same feather flock together!

With a smile, Wang Zhong spoke out, “He’s called Simba, and he is my friend . ”

“My good and beloved brother” sobbed Simba, who was on the verge of tears . “Looks like my Wang Zhong is still the best! You lot are simply the worst!”

“Wow,” exclaimed Aioros, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth . “ Such an interesting dimensional life form . ”

Spreading out his hands, the little baldy looked at the sky before saying, “I’ve approximately five more hours left in here . We’ve to hurry up . ”

The pyramid seemed to be constructed entirely from large rectangular blocks that were made stone, and there was no door at first glance . The runic makeup inscribed onto its surface were more elaborate compared to that of the pyramids on Earth . Interestingly, the runic patterns were lit faintly, as though they were reflecting the light from the sun, causing the entire pyramid to sparkle with golden light .

Aioros seemed to be concentrating on carrying out complex calculations as he walked around the pyramid while observing the runes on the surface of the pyramid .

Wang Zhong also seemed to be intrigued by the runes that adorned the pyramids . Wang Zhong could also be considered a scholar in runes, having done extensive research on it in the past . After all, Tianjing Academy had achieved vast accomplishments in the field of runic technologies . As such, Wang Zhong had read and analysed many various literatures published by the professors from the Runic faculty . Despite his expertise, however, the mysterious runes of the pyramid stumped him . He could not decipher the most of the runes; all he could discern was that these runes were part of a runic array composed of pure energy . Furthermore, there were numerous runes that were similar in nature hidden within the array itself, making it even more profound and harder to decipher .

Clicking his tongue in amazement, Aioros stood at a particular location along the walls of the pyramid . He then extended one of his hands and placed his palm on the surface of the pyramid while the other hand continued to draw rune after rune to form a pattern .

His actions were carried out with such skill and speed that anyone not paying attention would be unable to follow with their eyes . Within a short span of time, he had drawn out another runic array, causing a golden light to pulsate from the runic patterns on the pyramid walls, before rapidly condensing at the place where he had planted his hand .

Crack Crack Crack Crack

The sounds of shifting rocks rang out, and the giant stone block he had placed his hand on was slowly sinking into the pyramid . Before long, a gigantic door appeared in front of him .

Wang Zhong had gain much insight in from this experience . Everyone had said that the brave continents were extremely lacking in terms of their intelligence . However, what Aioros had just done would put runic specialists to shame .

With a smile, Aioros beckoned them forward . “Let’s go inside!”

Upon passing the stone door, they were met with a narrow path . Each of them entered the pyramid, with Simba being the last to enter . Once all of them had entered, the giant door began to close back up, resealing the entrance once more . At the same time, countless golden runes that ran along the walls lit up, bathing the originally dark path in golden splendor .

There was only one path presented before them . Hence, even though they had no idea where it led to, everyone had no choice but to follow the path . The path was one devoid of dangers, their surroundings quiet and tranquil . Aioros and Mu Zi appeared extremely relax considering their situation at hand .

It was a long and windingpath .

Unable to keep silent any longer, Wang Zhong spoke out in a hushed tone, “Aioros, you’re really formidable . Those runic patterns are extremely complicated . Were you able to comprehend all of them?”

Aioros shook his head in reply . “I had no idea what any of them meant,” said Aioros c .

“What?” Wang Zhong was completely dumbfound by the answer he received .

“Each and every rune has a life of their own,” replied Aioros with a smile . “As long as you can understand how they connect, any secrets they hold will be made privy to you . Our growth and combat styles, when compared to the Federation, are much more different that you would like to believe . What we seek is the origin of power, rather than fully understanding the mechanisms through which power is achieved . Based on this, our ways of comprehension may not be suited for someone like you . ”

Wang Zhong smiled and replied, “Being able to see this with my own eyes is already more than enough for me . ”

Upon hearing his response, Aioros could not help but gawked . He smiled before saying, “You’re different from other people from the Federation that I have met . What an interesting fellow you are . Well, the Federation’s understanding of the soul is much shallower than the rest… as evident by their reliant on spatial cracks to enter the hyperdimension . ”

“Actually, I only managed to enter this place by accident . ”

“Is the Federation’s cola really that tasty?” Aioros had actually asked the same question Mu ZI had . “It’s extremely rare for me to meet people from the Federation who was willing to talk . Okay then…bring some cola for me and Mu Zi next time we meet . ””

As surviving was of utmost importance in the Pampas Empire, Aioros would naturally not waste resources on a luxury item such as cola . Furthermore, these luxury goods were monopolized by the Amazon Empire in the Brave Continent, making it even more expensive and hard to come by .

“That would not do . After all, cola’s really expensive, and you can’t even buy it with money . ” Mu Zi felt slightly ashamed but even so, he truly wanted to drink it .

The requests from the people of the empire rendered Wang Zhong speechless . Exactly what is the Federation doing? They had actually made a thing like cola so famous to this degree . “Cola’s very cheap from where I’m from . I can get it easily enough . However, this is the spirit world . How do I bring it here?”

Aioros and Mu Zi looked at each other with a grin . “That’s simple . While it is hard to transmit a living entity into this world, it is extremely easy for non-living objects . How else did you think the Federation and empire trade resources? I’ll teach you a simple runic array later on . As long as you place the object into the runic array in the physical world, you will be able to have access to them once you have entered the spirit realm . ”

“Dimensional space array formation!” Wang Zhong’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets in amazement . That was one of the biggest secrets in the Federation!

The Federation had something similar to this, and Professor Moore was a specialist in this field . However, their array formation was clunky and much too complicated to be utilised easily . Even if all the professors in the entire runic faculty were to work together, they might not be able to complete a single drawing of the intricate giant array . However, Aioros had said that it was a simple runic array formation . Could something so complex be so easily done by people who were deemed to be behind in the field of science and technology?

“It isn’t like what you know . The understanding is completely different . ” Aioros replied . “Although science and technology, on the usage and understanding of soul power, its actually going on taking an inappropriate route . ”
