That was right. Although it was frighteningly large, its material was not of flesh and blood, but a grayish-white substance that was similar to fossils.

However, the hemisphere in front of Meng Chao was divided into the frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, and insula through folds, gullies, and crevices.

From the cerebral cortex to the central nerves, to the nerve fibers connecting the left and right hemispheres… everything was complete, and the more he looked, the more similar it was.

Moreover, after careful observation, Meng Chao came to the conclusion that this was not the brain of some enormous monster.

It was the product of a human brain that had been magnified by thousands of times.

Although 99% of the entire “brain” was lifeless…

Occasionally, there would be flashes of inspiration flashing through the brain groove. It was really like a biological electric current flashing over the cerebral cortex.

“Is this the super computing unit in the ‘matrix’ that you mentioned, Team Leader Wu?”

Meng Chao was shocked.

While wisdom and brain capacity were not necessarily proportional to each other…

If such an incredible super brain was in the state of 100% awake and active, it would definitely erupt with a light of wisdom that was a hundred times more dazzling than that of ordinary humans. It would possess unparalleled information collection, integration, a.n.a.lysis, and deduction abilities.

After such a super brain grasped enough information, it would not be impossible for it to predict the future, right?

Even Battle G.o.d Lei Zongchao was deeply shocked by the enormous brain. He remained silent for a long time and seemed to be deep in thought, as though he was recalling something that had happened in Ruins No. 1 a long time ago.

Wu Haibo guided them through a stairway, which had been temporarily built by human beings, and they entered the sulci that divided the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

They were like tiny cells that ran through the sulci.

The two sides of the brain walls were still made of carbon-based materials that were neither gold nor iron. Most of the brain tissues had long lost their activity, but there were a few places where one could still feel a weak elasticity when one touched them. It was as if they were touching a piece of frozen flesh.

A subtle biological electric current came from his fingertips, making Meng Chao shudder.

Meanwhile, countless workers were working nervously in every brain groove.

They pierced the thin and long probe deep into the “brain tissue” in an attempt to stimulate a specific area and obtain some feedback.

There were also many above-average powerhouses who sat cross-legged in the depths of the super-large brain, trying to use deep meditation methods to stimulate their own brainwaves, resonate with the surrounding “brain tissue”, and listen to the ancient summon. In a trance, they witnessed some scenes from the ancient age.

It was a cultivation method that they had discovered from the first ruins.

Including Battle G.o.d Lei Zongchao, countless pioneers had come to the conclusion that they had entered deep meditation in the ancient ruins, especially when they had stimulated their brainwaves to the extreme. It was very likely that they had received information from billions of years ago that was hidden in the depths of the ruins.

The information could be a powerful model for the construction of the spirit magnetic field; it could also be a method to create and engrave runes; it could also be a formula for gene medicine, and so on.

Many superhumans were cultivating in seclusion in the ancient ruins, which allowed them to break through the limits of their lives time and time again.

However, Ruins No. 2 seemed to be much more dangerous than Ruins No. 1.

Every researcher or cultivator was surrounded by a group of warriors who were armed to the teeth. With their hands firmly pressed on the hilt and trigger, they were clearly on high alert.

Meng Chao originally thought that they were guarding against monsters that might suddenly come out of the darkness.

However, when he thought about it carefully, the entire monster lair had been occupied by humans. The Deity Realm experts had searched up and down several times. Even if there were still some shrimp soldiers and crab generals hiding in some corner, they were just struggling to survive and waiting for death. How could they pose a threat to the researchers and cultivators?

After pondering for a moment, he finally reacted.

These fully-armed warriors were guarding against the researchers and cultivators.

The warriors were there in case they got eroded by the ancient era’s power and became obsessed. They would be reduced to being half-humans, half-beasts, half-demons, and half-ghosts.

As expected… Wu Haibo said in a low voice, “In the past few days, we’ve lost quite a number of good fighters in Ruins No. 2. They were not killed by monsters, but were infected by ancient bacteria or something like that. It was either that or their brains were filled by the ancient ruins’ summon and stuffed with too much information. They became obsessed, lost their minds, and turned into monsters that killed crazily.

“Here, especially… This is the organ that the mother uses to think.

“Although it is already dead, with such a high concentration of spirit energy, it probably won’t rot for a long time. The information flow that remains inside is still like an omnipresent demonic insect that can invade our brains at any time.

“Therefore, we have no choice but to act carefully.”

Meng Chao nodded.

Fortunately, he had been a tester in Ruins No. 1 for half a year, hence he knew many secret techniques to calm the soul and strengthen the will.

After taking a few deep breaths, he let the spirit energy slowly revolve along the spirit vein that surrounded the brain, forming a few spirit magnetic fields that completely enveloped the brain. It was as if he was putting on three layers of armor for his will.

Only then did he follow Wu Haibo, Shao Zhengyang, and Lei Zongchao to the central area of the super brain.

The spirit radiation in front of him was getting stronger and stronger.

The spirit energy was already so dense that it was visible to the naked eye and had gathered into raging waves.

Meng Chao subconsciously activated his spirit tattoos and formed a thin spirit shield on the surface of his skin.

However, it was still unable to prevent the slight burning pain on his skin.

It was as if he was standing on a railway gun that had just fired dozens of crystal cannonb.a.l.l.s consecutively, and the barrel of the cannon had been burned red.

Forget regular people who had not awakened extraordinary strength, even a one- to three-star Earth Realm expert would not be able to stand firm in such a harsh spirit magnetic environment.

Meng Chao glanced at Lei Zongchao worriedly.

Yet, he saw that Lei Zongchao’s expression was the same as usual while he observed his surroundings attentively.

Meng Chao followed Lei Zongchao’s gaze and noticed that the ravines around him were filled with crisscrossing marks that had been made by knives and axes.

Many of the marks cut directly into the “brain tissue” and were more than a meter deep.

The contact surfaces melted and condensed again, turning into colorful crystals that looked like gla.s.s that had been scorched by flames.

In the middle of the sword and saber slashes, Meng Chao also found quite a few clear fist, palm, and foot prints.

Around each of the footprints, there were circles of radiation-like ripples or lines. It seemed that a punch had been delivered with tremendous power.

“This is the place where we encountered the monster mastermind.”

The place where the dozens of brain grooves intersected was also the place where the spirit radiation was the most intense, where the sword and saber slashes, as well as the fist and foot prints were the densest, where the “brain tissues” were melted and solidified into colorful rocks again. Shao Zhengyang suddenly stood still and said with lingering fear, “It was also the most soul-stirring battlefield that I have ever experienced in my life…

“Because the interference of the spirit magnetism here was too intense and the battlefield’s environment was too harsh at that time. There were shock waves of thousands of degrees everywhere, and there were burning streams of particles in every corner. Even the nano combat suits that we, the so-called ‘deities’, wore were torn into pieces, not to mention any equipment that could record videos.

“Therefore, it’s a pity that we didn’t have any video or audio files.

“But I will never forget this battle until the day I die.

“In the beginning, the everything went on smoothly for us Deity Realm powerhouses. Whether it was fighting the Apocalyptic Beasts at the sinkhole or breaking into the monster lair, we didn’t encounter much resistance.

“Plus, after we saw so many monsters that had not matured yet and had died in the womb, everyone’s spirits got particularly high.

“We all were very optimistic that the monster civilization was on the verge of collapse, just like a building whose foundation was unstable and on the verge of collapse with a slight push.

“As for the monster mastermind, either it was in a state of exhaustion due to lack of resources, or it had already escaped and left us an empty lair. Either way, we could accept it.

“But we were all wrong.

“The monster mastermind was waiting for us here.

“It stood at the center of this super brain, like an emperor sitting in a majestic palace, waiting for the rebel army’s arrival.

“It relied on countless crystal-clear ‘nerves’ that were like strings to connect with the ‘brain tissue’ around it.

“It looked like a giant ant queen, but it emitted predator’s aura that was stronger than a Tyrannosaurus rex. Its every move was filled with a sense of oppression that could control life and death. Plus, it could see through everything.

“Other than a huge triangular head full of tentacles and eyes, in the middle of its body cavity, there was the face of a human girl.

“The face looked like a mask carved out of jade, but it was surrounded by faint ridicule and sorrow. I don’t know whether it was lamenting about itself, us, the entire Dragon City, or even the fate of the entire world.

“After seeing the monster mastermind’s true face, we suddenly realized that it had no reason to run away.

“Because it was connected to this super brain with a diameter of several hundred meters and even to the entire monster lair itself. They were inseparable!

“Only through countless nerve bundles, activating the super brain and even the power of the lair itself, would it make up 100% of the monster mastermind.

“If the connection with the super brain was cut off and it escaped alone in the form of a giant ant queen, its combat ability would not be stronger than any Apocalyptic Beast. Even if it was lucky enough to survive in the harsh environment deep in the wilderness, it would not be able to control any monsters and rebuild the monster civilization. It would also not be able to rely on the super brain to possess highly developed intelligence and computational ability.

“In other words, it could run away, but the price is that it would have to change from a ‘genius’ to an ‘idiot’; from the creator of a civilization to a drowning dog that everyone wants to beat. And there would be no chance of turning the tables.

“I think, for many intelligent beings, this is an even more unacceptable ending than death.”
