A passing traveler through the heavens

Chapter 205 Temple

In the world of Joy of Life, Earth once suffered a devastating nuclear war. This catastrophe caused the glorious human civilization of the previous era to collapse instantly, and society regressed sharply, falling into chaos and confusion like that of prehistoric times.

However, in this ravaged world, one mysterious place has been spared – a military museum located in the Arctic.

This building, like a lonely lighthouse, stands atop the ruins, becoming the last beacon of hope for human civilization.

In the world of Joy of Life, people respectfully refer to this military museum as the "Temple".

At specific times, the temple would send its messengers to the world to impart advanced knowledge and technology to the surviving humans.

These so-called messengers are not human in the true sense, but rather highly intelligent robots inside the temple.

They possess wisdom and abilities beyond that of ordinary people, and shoulder the important responsibility of helping humanity rise again and rebuild civilization.

Inside the temple exists an extremely powerful advanced artificial intelligence. After in-depth analysis and deduction of historical data, it has come to a startling conclusion.

The continuous progress of human civilization will ultimately lead to its own extinction and the complete destruction of nature.

Based on this assessment, in order to protect humanity and the temple itself, this advanced artificial intelligence began to search for survivors through those robot messengers, and while teaching them basic survival skills, deliberately restricted the further development of human civilization.

Thus, although time slowly passed and human society gradually returned to order, it never broke through the barriers of the feudal era.

Furthermore, the reason why those grandmasters and cultivators who are famous in the world of Joy of Life are able to obtain extraordinary power is that they can absorb and utilize the nuclear radiation energy that permeates the air.

This unique energy source not only endowed them with extraordinary strength but also inextricably linked their fate to this wounded land.

Ji Lin, along with Ye Qingmei and Wu Zhu, instantly teleported to the mysterious and cold land of the Arctic. Looking around, all they could see was a vast expanse of white snow, seemingly covering the entire world in pure white.

In this white expanse, a magnificent, palace-like building stands prominently.

It stands there solemnly, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura. Above the palace gate hangs a plaque with the five large characters "Military Museum" clearly written in simplified Chinese.

Just as Ji Lin and the others were about to step into the mysterious palace, several dazzling points of light suddenly appeared on the open ground in front of them.

These points of light quickly converged into lifelike human figures, as if they were real. Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that this scene was presented using advanced 3D imaging technology.

However, Ji Lin did not pay much attention to these virtual figures. Without hesitation, he led Wu Zhu and Ye Qingmei into the temple.

The moment they stepped into the temple, something unexpected happened. Wu Zhu, who had been silent all along, suddenly froze in place as if he had been frozen in place, unable to move.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Zhu's head began to shake violently from side to side uncontrollably, as if an invisible force was interfering with his thoughts.

Just moments later, Wu Zhu launched an attack on Ji Lin and Ye Qingmei without warning.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Ji Lin reacted extremely quickly. He grabbed Ye Qingmei beside him and moved to a safe distance in an instant.

At the same time, Ji Lin's mind raced, and with a flick of his sleeve, countless black shadows appeared out of thin air like ghosts.

These shadowy figures quickly assembled into a well-trained ninja army, tightly surrounding the irrational Wu Zhu.

Just then, several robots dressed exactly like Wu Zhu suddenly appeared around Ji Lin. These robots were tall and gleamed with a cold metallic luster, exuding a chilling aura.

However, Ji Lin did not want to get entangled with them here.

He snapped his fingers lightly, and in an instant, numerous ninja soldiers from the Shadow Legion sprang out from the surrounding shadows.

These ninja soldiers, dressed in black night clothes, moved with lightning speed, gripping sharp swords tightly in their hands, and instantly surrounded the robots.

Immediately afterward, Ji Lin listened intently to Ye Qingmei's instructions while moving swiftly and nimbly, darting across the battlefield like a ghost.

In the blink of an eye, he successfully escaped the robots' pursuit and disappeared from everyone's sight.

This military museum has six floors. The first floor is an exhibition area on the military development history of the temple, and its layout is like a grand museum.

Here, the temple's glorious history from its birth to the present day is recorded in detail, and various ancient and powerful weapons and equipment are displayed, making people feel as if they are in the long river of history.

The second floor is a themed exhibition hall, displaying a series of eye-catching high-tech weapons. These include flamethrowers that burn intensely, powerful laser cannons, and various thermal weapons such as nuclear warheads capable of causing violent explosions.

These advanced weapons all demonstrate the boundless charm of technology.

The third layer is a dedicated area for cultivating and nurturing life; it can be considered the seed bank of all human civilization.

Here, countless precious genetic samples, embryonic cells, and various biological data are preserved, carrying the hopes for the future development of mankind.

The next level up is the fourth floor – the robot zone.

This floor is filled with countless robot hibernation pods, each containing a high-performance robot lying quietly inside.

In addition, there is a spacious maintenance and modification workshop equipped with state-of-the-art tools and equipment to ensure that the robots are always kept in optimal condition.

The fifth level is the main control area of ​​the temple.

A huge digital display screen occupies the entire wall, constantly displaying complex data and images, controlling the operation of the entire temple.

As for the underground level, it is the crucial energy zone.

It has an extremely advanced automatic filtration and circulation system that can continuously supply a stable and sufficient amount of energy to the entire temple, enabling it to operate normally.

Ji Lin flashed by, like a ghost, and carried Ye Qingmei to the fifth floor of the temple—the main brain control area. The light here was dim, and it was filled with a mysterious technological atmosphere.

Just as they had gained a foothold, a dazzling light suddenly shone, and a lifelike image of an elderly man appeared before them.

It turns out that the old man's appearance was achieved using 3D imaging technology. No one knows his real name, but he once served as a guide at this military museum.

The powerful artificial intelligence inside the temple always presents the guide's appearance as its own image to the world.

The commentator slowly spoke, his voice seemingly traveling through time: "Outsiders, halt!"
