Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

1941 Strange Big-Headed Babies

Meng Chao sent his spirit energy, will, and even his soul, which had just gone through millions of reincarnations, into the crystal wall.

He heard the sounds of mountains collapsing and the earth shattering from a faraway place behind the crystal wall. It sounded like the creation of the world was taking place.

The loud noise was comparable to a rolling wave that came from an infinitely distant place as it swept through the area beyond the wall.

Before Battle God Lei Zongchao’s blood could even dry up in the crisscrossing cracks that he had created, his successor’s blood spilled into the cracks again. It was like pouring hot oil on ice. It created colorful columns of sizzling and spurting smoke.

Time seemed to freeze soon after.

It also felt like Lei Zongchao and Meng Chao’s relentless attacks had torn off a strong seal that had been frozen for billions of years.

Right then, the seemingly indestructible crystal wall shattered. Billions of crystal fragments scattered in all directions like the first particles of the Big Bang.

However, Meng Chao was not blown away by the shock wave.

On the contrary, the inertia from his violent bombardment made him stumble into the world behind the crystal wall.

There was a tunnel that led to the planet’s core.

It looked like the gravitational well of a gigantic celestial body.

It even resembled the Mother of Origin’s birth canal.

Meng Chao was not sure if he was “falling” or “sliding,” or attracted to the Mother of Origin and voluntarily fusing with the core of her body.

After a long period of time—so long that time and space lost their meaning—the lights, lines, and images that looked like swirling galaxies gradually solidified and became clear again.

Meng Chao realized that he was in a crystal-clear and flawless karst cave.

There was no hole above him, and there were no doors or gaps around.

He could not remember how he had passed through the rock stratum and crystal wall to get there.

It was as if he had been there since the creation of the world.

No, this was not a natural karst cave.

It was some kind of man-made secret chamber that appeared natural thanks to advanced technology.

There were crystal clusters that protruded like stalactites or nerves around the secret chamber, and there were indentations of different shapes all over them.

Judging from their outlines, they could accommodate humans or human-like creatures. A person could place his face and hands in these indentations.

It’s worth mentioning that when Meng Chao swept his gaze over them, many of the crystal clusters were vibrating at a high frequency and even “wriggling.” The outlines of the crystals started to shrink until they matched up perfectly with an Earthling and even Meng Chao himself.

This could only mean one thing.

Either this secret chamber was a living creature, or a certain program was left there billions of years ago. It had been running obediently and adjusting its form as well as strategy to conform with different intelligent creatures that might arrive.

Wait, the crystal walls around the secret chamber…

Meng Chao had seen strange and bizarre things. Despite that, he originally thought he would not be able to calm his nerves when he ventured into the deepest and most mysterious place in the ancient ruins and experienced something unbelievable like “infinite reincarnations.”

When he clearly saw what was embedded in the crystal walls that tightly surrounded the chamber, he felt a chill that he could not extricate himself from.

These were the Ancients.

The crystal walls were actually densely packed and stacked around the secret chamber at the core of the ruins. They were inlaid with the corpses of countless Ancients!

No, no, no, no…

To be more precise, there were no “crystal walls” at all. The secret chamber itself was simply made of the corpses!

Through his old memories of the monster mastermind, Meng Chao had seen the Ancients whose organs had gradually crystallized. It was as if they had crossed the boundary between organic and non-organic matter. Hence, their bodies of flesh and blood had become crystal-clear.

The corpses that had been built into the secret chamber, on the other hand, seemed to be the best of the Ancients. The degree of clarity they possessed was so high that they were almost like exquisite and breathtaking artworks carved out of diamonds.

Even though billions of years had passed, Meng Chao could still feel the incredible aura from the Ancients who were sealed in this place.

It seemed that when they were alive, all of them were great beings that could move mountains, overturn seas, calm storms, and flip clouds. They had combat strength that far surpassed the Apocalyptic Beasts.

After they died, each of them curled up into a ball like a baby before they were densely piled together. This turned them into bricks and stones that built the ancient civilization’s tomb!

Wait, babies?

Meng Chao blinked and noticed the strange nature of the corpses.

Their heads were too big.

In the monster mastermind’s old memory, the Ancients who lived in the crystal city had crystalline flesh and blood too. However, their bodies were larger than that of humans on Earth, and their height could reach up to two to three meters.

Nevertheless, the proportions of their heads, bodies, and limbs were not much different from those of Earthlings.

After all, it was likely that Earthlings had used the Ancients as a template to produce a “scaled-down version.”

However, the heads of the current Ancients were three to four times larger than other normal Ancients.

Meanwhile, their curled torsos and limbs were even thinner and shriveled than those of other Ancients. It looked as though they had big heads due to malnutrition.

Judging from their facial features that were not completely distorted, they were clearly adults.

The diameter of their heads, on the other hand, was more than one or even two meters.

Yet, their mouths, noses, eyes, and ears were not much larger than those of ordinary Ancients. They were squeezed pitifully on the lower half of their faces.

Most of their brains were also swollen like malignant tumors.

Their heads were incomparably big.

Even their skulls could not withstand the crazy growth of their brains, and all kinds of terrifying deformities were visible.

Many of the Ancients did not even have skulls. Crisscrossing sulci could be clearly seen on their crystalline scalps.

Even though Meng Chao was extremely bold, he could not help but shudder when he was surrounded by millions of Ancient corpses that were versions of the big-headed monster baby.

“How did this happen?” Meng Chao muttered to himself.

“With the Ancients’ incredible abilities, who could have made them look nothing like humans or ghosts?”

Meng Chao’s first guess was an ancient beast.

However, after some careful thought, he remembered that the ferocious ancient beasts walked a simple and brutal path. They could sweep thousands of troops away and destroy everything in sight.

It was reasonable to say that they had the ambition to devour the world and all the Ancients.

However, refining the Ancients into big-headed babies, killing them, compressing them into bricks, and building a secret chamber?

Meng Chao did not think that the ancient beasts had the motive or ability to do so.

The answer was obvious.

“The Ancients did it themselves.

“It was the Ancients who created so many strange big-headed babies!”
