Chapter 415 Era
As you go deeper, the stone steps gradually become flatter, and finally directly turn into flat ground.

Li Qian and the other two approached slowly and soon discovered that there were also guards from the Investigation Bureau here.

However, it was obvious that they should have received Teacher Liang's order and did not stop the three of them.

Li Qian and his two companions stepped closer and slowly approached the cordon. Upon seeing this, several guards from the Investigation Bureau made way for them to enter.

Bai Bingbing pointed to a bronze door at the end of the line of sight and explained the situation, "According to Mr. Liang's judgment, this underground palace, including the entire Luoying City, should be relics from the Fourth Era."

"The Fourth Era?" Li Qian heard this and pondered over it. He subconsciously looked at Bai Bingbing, his face full of confusion.

This was the first time he had heard this word, so he immediately put on an attitude of listening attentively and waited for Bai Bingbing to continue to explain his doubts.

"This is the way archaeologists divide the extraordinary civilizations in the dimensional plane. There are five eras in total, and the era we are in now is the fifth era." Bai Bingbing said seriously: "The old calendar, the new calendar, which is the federal calendar, all the known history of our era is divided into this era."

"Before our era, there was the Fourth Era." Bai Bingbing led Li Qian and Irina forward. "Before, in the temple complex outside, you should have seen those human statues with single horns on their heads."

Li Qian heard this and nodded.

He did see the statues of humans with single horns on their heads.

Bai Bingbing continued, "The images of those sculptures are humans from the Fourth Era. After deciphering some of the data left over from this era, we learned their identities - Rong people."

"The Rong people were the masters of the last era, and they followed the path of the beast-taming civilization. In fact, according to the data that has been deciphered so far, the entire dimension should have followed the path of the beast-taming civilization regardless of which era."

After thinking for a while, she added, "Of course, this is not 100% absolute. It's just that this is what the archaeological findings show so far. Whether there will be new discoveries in the future is unknown."

Hearing this, Li Qian had roughly understood something. He opened his mouth and asked to confirm, "In other words, so far, we have only discovered four eras?"

"That's roughly what you can say!" Bai Bingbing nodded. "Currently, the most comprehensive archaeological work has only unearthed four relatively complete eras, namely the first, second, third, and fourth eras."

"The extraordinary civilization in the dimensional plane, even if we include our era, is there only five eras?" Li Qian continued to ask. He heard a lot of uncertainty in Bai Bingbing's words.

"More than that!" Bai Bingbing spat out two words without hesitation, "Definitely more than that. In fact, archaeologists have discovered relics from before the First Era."

"However, that period seems to have been given a general name. I don't know what it is specifically called." Bai Bingbing smiled bitterly and said, "According to Teacher Liang, that period is a bit far away for me now, and there is no point in understanding it."

"Civilization before the First Era?" Li Qian couldn't help but mutter to himself after hearing this.

"Yes, it is very difficult to do archaeological research on that period. According to the information occasionally revealed by Teacher Liang, we have only discovered fragments of that period so far."

Bai Bingbing continued without reservation: "The reason why it is difficult to do archaeological excavation is mainly due to two difficulties. The first is that it has been too long, and most of the ruins have disappeared in the torrent of history. Even if there are some left, they are in ruins. The second is the location. The older the ruins, the deeper the dimension they are buried in."

"As far as I know, the current exploration limit of our human beastmasters is probably the sixth dimensional plane. The deeper dimensional planes are too dangerous, and we humans are not sure we can enter them."

"So that's how it is..." Li Qian nodded slightly after listening to Bai Bingbing's explanation. This knowledge also broadened his horizons for him.

While they were talking, the three of them had already arrived in front of the bronze gate, and Li Qian looked up.

This bronze door is not very high, only about twenty meters, but it exudes an air of vicissitudes and antiquity.

The bronze door was half-open, with a crack large enough for two or three people to enter and exit.

It is obvious that the archaeological team had entered and explored there for some time.

Bai Bingbing pointed at the bronze door and explained, "The internal structure of this bronze door has been damaged to a certain extent. It can only be opened to this extent. If you push it further, the whole door may collapse."

"Yeah!" Li Qian nodded.

He couldn't help but admire these archaeologists for their meticulous observations.

The three of them didn't waste any more time and prepared to enter the bronze door... But at this moment, four figures came out from the inside of the bronze door and just passed by them. "Hello, Teacher Huang!" Bai Bingbing saw the four people coming out of the bronze door and immediately spoke and greeted them.

"Hello, Teacher Huang!" Li Qian followed suit and greeted him.

Irina nodded and didn't say much.

A gentleman with glasses in the oncoming team of four approached Bai Bingbing and immediately approached her enthusiastically, "Bingbing, why did you come in alone? Where is Teacher Liang?"

"My teacher is upstairs." Bai Bingbing pointed to the ground above her head and responded casually.

Seeing that Bai Bingbing was just being perfunctory and had no intention of paying attention to him, the boy with glasses turned his attention to Li Qian and Irina, "Who are they?"

"My friend, with the permission of Teacher Liang, came down to see it all." Bai Bingbing continued to perfunctorily, and after that she was ready to step into the bronze door.

The boy with glasses fell behind the four-person team. He frowned and reminded them in a friendly manner: "Bingbing, this is an important archaeological site. Outsiders are not allowed to come in casually."

"Go tell my teacher about this." Bai Bingbing walked straight in without even turning her head.

She said something that made the boy with glasses quite embarrassed.

Go ask Teacher Liang, what a joke. Teacher Liang is the captain of this joint archaeological team. Let alone two people, even if she wanted to bring in eight or ten people, no one would say anything.

"Classmate, who are you?" Seeing that Bai Bingbing had already stepped into the bronze door, the boy with glasses took a step sideways and blocked the way of Li Qian and Irina who were one step behind.

"Bingbing's friend." Li Qian said lightly, and then walked in.

Irina laughed and introduced herself, "Irina, I'm the deputy governor of Feihe City. I wonder if you have any advice for me, classmate?"

Now, although she is not yet the deputy governor of Feihe City, her application has been submitted, and it is only a matter of time before it is approved.

The boy with glasses was stunned when he heard this. He had never imagined that this heroic Gaochang girl was actually a deputy garrison commander.

He didn't have the courage or the ability to go and find the deputy garrison commander to complain about his unhappiness.

So I had to walk away in shame.

"Liu Qingyuan, what are you doing?" Just as the three of them stepped into the bronze door, Teacher Huang's majestic voice came from behind.

"Teacher, I'll be right there!" Liu Qingyuan, the boy with glasses, trotted over immediately.

Li Qian scratched his head, feeling a little confused.

He asked, "Student Bai Bingbing, this Liu Qingyuan doesn't seem very friendly to me?"

Next to her, Irina directly told the truth, "I guess they see you as a competitor."

"What competitor?" Li Qian was a little confused and asked subconsciously.

"Here!" Irina curled her lips and pointed at Bai Bingbing who was walking in front.

"Uh..." Li Qian suddenly realized and then fell speechless.

What's the matter!
Bai Bingbing's face looked a little ugly. She said lightly, "You don't need to care about boring people."

After saying that, he focused his attention on the interior of the palace.
