Chapter 554: Pillar of Origin

Lin Shi recognized it at a glance.

The runes on the stone pillar are exactly the same as the runes that appeared when the cornucopia was upgraded.

Does this mean that the origin of this stone pillar and the cornucopia are from the same place or the same civilization?

Lin Shi studied the runes recorded in the last upgrade for a few days.

He did not find any similar ones after comparing them with all the information he had.

So Lin Shi went to the Research Institute and looked through all the books on characters and some electronic materials preserved in the entire base.

He did not find any clues.

These runes do not belong to the fonts of any known civilization or dynasty on Blue Star.

Originally, he planned to study them for a while. If he could not find anything, he would give it to the professionals of the Research Institute to try.

But he did not expect to see the same symbols here again.

"Brother Lin, I want to take pictures of these symbols and send them back to see if anyone knows what they mean?"

Wang Chao came to ask for Lin Shi's consent.

Lin Shi nodded.

This is good. If the Research Institute can really study the meaning of these characters, he will hand over all the symbols to the Research Institute.

At this time, an evolver was circling around the stone pillar, and suddenly stretched out his hand and put it on the stone pillar, wanting to feel the texture of the stone pillar.

Lin Shi's peripheral vision swept him.

The next second, something strange happened!

At the moment when the evolver put his hand on the stone pillar.

A strong suction came from the stone pillar.

The evolver felt that the source power and vitality in his body were rapidly fading away and being sucked away by the stone pillar.

The evolver wanted to pull his hand back, but was horrified to find that his hand was actually sucked on the stone pillar, and he couldn't get it away no matter how hard he tried.

He only had time to shout in a low voice: "Help..."

The soldiers around saw that something was wrong and hurried to pull the evolver.

But they didn't expect that they couldn't pull it away no matter what.

Before they could use all their strength, the evolver who put his hand on the stone pillar suddenly loosened his hand and fell from the stone pillar.

The whole person also fell backwards stiffly.

And at the same time when the evolver's source power and vitality were sucked away.

Lin Shi, Lin Rongxuan and others who were fighting in front of the stone pillar saw the rune on the stone pillar suddenly light up.

In less than two seconds, as the evolver fell, a dot lit up next to the rune.

At the same time, a mysterious feeling appeared in everyone's consciousness.

[The human race lights up the Pillar of Origin. ]

[The battle for race survival officially begins. ]

[Input source power and vitality into the Pillar of Origin, and the race that lights up 100 light spots first wins. ]

[If no race can light up 100 light spots within 578 human natural days. The one with the most light spots wins. ]

[The winning race retains the evolution sequence. ]

[The losing race, all above level three are wiped out! ]

[No killing is allowed in the area where the Pillar of Origin is located. ]

[Mental power and other special abilities cannot be used in the area where the Pillar of Origin is located. ]

[The location of the Pillar of Origin......]

…

Different from the information prompts like projections in the cornucopia.

This piece of information slowly appeared in Lin Shi's mind, like a memory that suddenly awakened.

There was no sense of disobedience, as if it should have existed.

In addition to this piece of information, the specific location of this origin pillar also appeared in his mind.

Lin Shi turned his head to look at Qi Yun and others beside him.

All the people who came this time stared at the same time and fell into a daze, obviously receiving the same information.

Not just them.

At the moment when the origin pillar lit up a light spot.

All humans living on the entire Blue Star had the same information in their minds.

Survival battle!

The origin pillar!

Everyone was shocked by the information that appeared in their minds.

Lin Shi had been influenced by the cornucopia, and accepted this information much faster than others.

Although there were huge waves in his heart, he calmed down and accepted the information in a moment.

No wonder the cornucopia asked him to hunt the source beast, it turned out to be to prepare for this origin pillar.

Lin Shi walked to the unlucky guy who accidentally opened the origin pillar just now to check.

This person has no breath.

Deader than dead.

Not only that, Lin Shi found that this person had no source power in his body, and the whole person was shriveled like a mummy.

Just touching the source pillar for just two or three seconds can suck a fourth-level evolver into a mummy.

Lin Shi looked at the gray-brown stone pillar in front of him, and his heart was cold.

So this is the battle for survival.

No wonder those source beasts went to the island one after another.

It was because a source beast accidentally opened the source pillar belonging to the source beast.

They got the information in advance.

Then they attracted them.

The symbol on the source pillar is the same as the cornucopia, so the source pillar and the cornucopia may come from the same place.

This so-called battle for survival seems fair, but it is not fair to humans.

The number of humans is far less than that of source beasts.

Why does the cornucopia stand on the side of humans? Is it because humans are at a disadvantage?

While Lin Shi was thinking, Wang Chao and others soon recovered.

Although the appearance of the Pillar of Origin violates everyone's long-standing cognition.

But fortunately, the official base had received information about the survival war from Lin Shi before, so it was not difficult to accept.

However, the shock and sense of urgency in everyone's heart could not be calmed for a long time.

"The Pillar of Origin..."

Some people muttered to themselves in a daze.

"Does this pillar mean that if we humans want to win, we must sacrifice for the continuation of the race."

Some people looked at the cold stone pillar and shuddered unconsciously.

Some people slowly stepped back several steps.

Human nature is selfish. As long as they want to live, no one wants to die.

As long as they think about being sucked into a mummy and dying.

Even if they are all well-trained soldiers, there is a trace of fear in their eyes.

It is said that humans are the smartest and most intelligent species on the blue planet.

But compared to humans, the world of source beasts may be purer.

After evolving to the present, the intelligence of source beasts is not inferior to that of humans, but they have not undergone systematic learning and education.

For the sake of their descendants, source beasts can die without hesitation in the face of the Pillar of Origin.

But Lin Shi didn't know how many humans could do it.

Taking in the expressions of the crowd, Lin Shi stood up and shook his head at Wang Chao, who was coming to check on the evolver who sacrificed his life to open the Pillar of Origin.

Wang Chao sent the photo of the Pillar of Origin back to the base with a serious face.

As a result, he immediately received a text message from Lin Tianrui.

Apparently, Lin Tianrui had sent a message before Wang Chao sent it.

"Everyone else, stay where you are and don't get close to the Pillar of Origin! Notify Brother Lin to return to the official base immediately!"
