The end of the world begins with failing an exam

Chapter 55 The Aether Association
According to Smith's description, in that ancient palace, they saw many supernatural scenes.

"There is a huge golden throne there. It seems to be unaffected by gravity. It is suspended at a height of about 10 meters from the ground from beginning to end. And every three to ten minutes, there will be a sound like a bell ringing inside the throne. the sound of……"

"Ring the bell?" Chen Jing looked at Smith suspiciously.

"Yes, like church bells."

Smith nodded, then continued to recall.

"The throne seems to have been fixed there in ancient times, no matter what we try, we can't move it a bit, so the throne is still in the ancient ruins, protected by our association's armed forces stationed in Antarctica."

While Smith was telling about this experience, Chen Jing had been observing the micro-expression changes on his face.

Chen Jing felt that the old man did not seem to be lying.

If Smith can really act to the point where he can't see the flaws, it can only be regarded as his bad luck.

"Besides the throne, what else is in that ancient ruin?" Chen Jing asked tentatively.

"There is also an hourglass almost three stories high, which is not filled with sand, but some colorful liquid-like substances..."

Smith paused when he said this, and looked at Chen Jing hesitantly.

"You don't have to say what's inconvenient to say. I'm not that curious, and I don't necessarily believe what you said..." Chen Jing smiled without changing his face, and Smith couldn't tell the truth from the truth with his frank tone.

"The hourglass has existed since the establishment of the palace, and it has been running...until today." Smith said slowly.

Chen Jing is not a fool.

Hearing what Smith said, Chen Jing's first reaction was to associate the hourglass with the "doomsday" in his mouth.

"What will happen when the liquid in the hourglass runs out?" Chen Jing asked, "Will there be an end of the world?"

"Yes."

Smith nodded with a wry smile, as if he could hardly believe this conclusion.

"There are some indented ancient characters on the base of the hourglass. We only discovered it after the fact. When we deciphered the content of those characters, it was already three years later..."

"What's the content of those ancient characters?" Even though Chen Jing knew the answer, he still asked, pretending to be extremely curious.

This time, Smith did not easily satisfy Chen Jing's curiosity.

He was silent for a while before opening his mouth slowly.

"I can only tell you part of it, the rest... I'll talk about it when I take you back to the headquarters of the association."

"Okay." Chen Jing agreed without hesitation.

As for how to do it at that time, it is still two things to say.

"The liquid in the hourglass is called the blood of Natu."

"is blood?"

"That's right, it's blood." Smith nodded. "Natu is a fish that lived in Antarctica in ancient times. Its blood is as thick as fat, and it is said that it can also connect with the will of the gods..."

"Blood is as viscous as grease?" Chen Jing murmured, "Is this why the hourglass can keep running?"

"Yes, it has been running since the end of the last civilization, until now..."

Smith looked at Chen Jing with a solemn expression, with unconcealable helplessness in his tone.

"But it's running out."

"..."

Chen Jing remained silent.

He looked up at the dark clouds that were torn apart by thunder and lightning, and let the cold rain flow on his face.

"So... the end is coming, isn't it..."

"That's right!" Smith nodded fiercely, but his deep-set eye sockets revealed undisguised excitement, "But it's just the end of mankind! It's not ours! For us, this end...is evolution. day!"

"What do you mean?" Chen Jing looked back at Smith and asked calmly.

"According to the ancient texts we interpreted, when the end comes, some people will be blessed by the gods and have the opportunity to evolve." Smith was so excited that he raised his finger to Chen Jing, "For example, you...for example, me... Those of us who have come into contact with the mighty power of the gods will soon be able to get a new round of evolution!"

"I don't understand what you're talking about..." Chen Jing shook his head.

"Don't be stupid."

Smith laughed out loud, the rain was hitting his pale face, and his smile was extremely crazy.

"I'm sure your grandpa didn't tell you much about this part, but I'm sure he did something to you...otherwise you wouldn't have the smell of that ancient ruin on you!"

"The smell of ancient ruins?" Chen Jing was stunned, thinking that this old thing has a good nose.

Could it be that the smell he smelled...was the smell of the Old Seed? ?

"Children, we are the same person, we are superhumans!"

Smith walked towards Chen Jing excitedly, as if he had forgotten the scene of Zhou Guojian being attacked in an instant.

His eyes were full of joy to meet the same kind.

"How could you kill Zhou Guojian if you don't have extraordinary power? He's an A-level member of our association!"

"A-level? That is to say, the levels of your association members are divided according to their strength?" Chen Jing asked with his head tilted, looking like a curious baby.

"That's right, from SSS to D grade."

"Is that so..." Chen Jingruo thought for a while, then looked at Smith, "Then what level are you?"

"S."

Smith answered truthfully, making no secret of it.

"When I was performing the awakening ceremony within the association, I was too old to compare with these young people..."

"Are there many A-level members like Zhou Guojian in your association?" Chen Jing asked unhurriedly, looking at the corpse that had gradually turned black and decayed.

"How could there be many..." Smith was amused by Chen Jing's innocence.

He patiently explained: "In the whole world, there are no more than five hundred A-level members. If there are tens of thousands of people like them who can easily dodge bullets, then the world is already in chaos... "

"Tell me about your association." Chen Jing took his eyes away from the corpse and turned to Smith.

"How about... you take me to your grandfather's study first?" Smith said with a smile, pointing to the cloudy sky, "It's raining so hard now, it's not appropriate to stand here and talk..."

Chen Jing didn't speak, just smiled politely and remained unmoved.

"Okay... about the association, I can only tell you part of it..." Smith struggled a little before giving up.

For Chen Jing's soft and hard hob meat, he admits it.

Although Smith really wanted to seize this close opportunity to subdue Chen Jing, but he just thought about it.

On the premise that he is not fully sure, Smith does not intend to take risks.

Because the evolution day is not far away, he still wants to save this old life for a new round of evolution...

To put it bluntly, Smith hasn't lived enough.

"The Ether Association was established in 1975. At that time, all countries sent representatives to Antarctica to participate in the meeting called "The End of Civilization". After that, they negotiated and funded the establishment of this Ether Association to deal with the doomsday."

"Every country is involved?" Chen Jing frowned, he didn't expect their backstage to be so strong.

"Yes, all involved."

Smith nodded, and then cast the bait in his eyes.

"If you are willing to cooperate with us, I can send you into the association as a guarantor. With your ability, it is only a matter of time before you are promoted to the top of the association."

"Money, power."

"It's all within your reach."

"And I can also help you submit an application for upgrading to the association, and let them host a second awakening ceremony for you..."
