Chapter 217: The Trial of Prehistoric Civilization

The earthquake shook the entire ecosystem, and Ju Ling immediately pulled out her weapon and aimed it at her surroundings.

If it was a natural phenomenon, then so be it. But if it was man-made, Ju Ling would definitely not let that person go!

The earthquake came and went quickly, and Ju Ling didn't see anything unusual in her surroundings.

"Commander, everything is safe, we..." Ju Ling turned around and was shocked to find that Commander was gone!

Alarm! Alarm!

Highest level, red alert!

Commander is missing!

This news instantly spread to the ears of all Red Alert units. At this moment, no matter what they were doing, they immediately returned to the base.

The fastest were a few super units, and they quickly rushed here.

"Ju Ling, what happened? Wasn't Commander with you? Why did he suddenly disappear?" The first to ask was Guangtou Qiang.

The other super units didn't say anything, but their faces were full of worry.

"Commander is temporarily not in danger, otherwise we wouldn't be here. But he disappeared in this place, and it must be related to this site," Ju Ling said calmly, but at this moment, she exuded a cold aura all over her body.

She felt very guilty. As a super unit, her first mission was to protect Commander's safety, but she failed.

Commander disappeared by her side, and she had to take responsibility.

As super units, they all knew that now was not the time to blame Ju Ling. They had to find Commander and ensure his safety.

"Yun Ru, can you find the control center of this site and completely control it?" Ju Ling asked.

Yun Ru pondered for a moment, then quickly replied, "I need some time. Give me the map of the site and all the information about this place."

With Commander missing, all actions had stopped. Finding Commander was the most important thing.

Even Spy No. 1 and Spy No. 2 came back to help find Commander's whereabouts.

While they were looking for Su Chen, he was surprised to find himself in a strange place that looked like a church.

There were countless people kneeling below, but they were all fake. In front of them was a bright light, with a figure facing away from him.

"Trial participant, welcome to the trial space."

"Trial participant? Trial space? Are you from the prehistoric civilization?" Su Chen wasn't intimidated by the other party's mysterious appearance, but he suddenly realized that he couldn't contact Ju Ling and the others.

"To you, that's how it seems. But in my eyes, you are just someone who appeared here before my demise," the other person slowly turned around, and Su Chen finally saw his face.

It was an old man with sagging skin, almost half of his teeth missing, and his whole body was weak, as if he could be blown away by a gust of wind.

"What does that mean?" Su Chen raised his eyebrows.

"Some things are not convenient to describe in words, so I'll let you feel what happened in the past directly."

After speaking, Su Chen suddenly felt a strange energy infiltrate his mind, and a sharp pain came, causing him to let out a scream.

"This is...mind technique?" Su Chen barely kept a shred of clarity, as if a mysterious force was helping him.

It was this shred of clarity that reminded Su Chen of what he had previously done to that person, how similar it was.

This person who seemed to belong to the prehistoric civilization also had mind techniques, and seemed to be even more powerful than what he controlled.

His mind technique was version 4.0, but the other party's mind technique was even stronger?

It was unclear how long had passed, but Su Chen finally freed himself from the pain. He was sweating all over, and the feeling just now was too painful. But he also realized that there was a large section of memories in his mind that didn't belong to him.

After some time had passed, Su Chen finished reading these memories, and a hint of shock appeared in his eyes.

"You...you actually betrayed humanity. Why?" Su Chen was very puzzled.

From the history of the prehistoric civilization, which they called the Qiluo civilization, Su Chen learned some things.

The Qiluo civilization was once very powerful. It originated from Earth and later became a powerful civilization in the universe.

However, something happened in the middle, and the Qiluo civilization betrayed humanity and was besieged by them, almost extinct.

Only by raising the power of the entire civilization and building such a refuge did they preserve some of the Qiluo civilization's spark.

At the beginning, the refuge was very strong and could not be destroyed by a cannonball, even if the region was destroyed, the gate would not open.

But nothing could compare to the power of time. After experiencing an unknown amount of time, the refuge finally could not hold on.

The ecosystem was missing a link, and a loophole appeared. The humans inside could not fill it, ultimately leading to the death of people and creatures one by one, leaving only one survivor, the old man standing in front of Su Chen.

"I don't know the exact reason. When I was sent into the refuge, I was just a child, but I know one thing..." The old man's eyes burst with a burst of light. "It's not us who are wrong, it's those so-called humans!"

Su Chen almost thought that the old man would say the famous quote "It's not me, it's the world", but his words still surprised Su Chen. Humans were wrong?

Although Su Chen had never encountered humans outside of Earth, he thought that since they could fight against the Zerg, humans should not be a weak race. But this old man said that humans were wrong?

"I have no evidence, it's just your word against mine, and it's hard for me to believe," Su Chen said in a deep voice.

"I know that, otherwise, there wouldn't be you, the trial participant. A major figure in our civilization once considered this issue, and the secret could only be known by a few people. Therefore, he set up a trial, a trial that only a human born on Earth and not a part of the Qiluo civilization could trigger. You are the first trial participant in countless years." The old man suddenly remembered something. "Your subordinates are not humans from this planet. They didn't trigger the trial when they came in, which is not surprising. But you should know that those who entered here initially were too weak to trigger the trial."

Su Chen understood. So the other party not only looked at people, but also looked at their strength. Those who entered here initially were a group of weaklings and naturally would not be noticed.

"Tell me, what is the trial?"
