After a long period of rest, the exploration team of the 'Abyss of Nothingness' returned to an energetic state again. Although the Abandoned Crystal Mine was dark, some gadgets for timing could still be used in this world, so everyone basically maintained their
Usual work and rest habits.
"Very good, now that everyone has rested, let's set off!" Stellan said.
Everyone nodded without objection.
The passage from the fourth floor to the fifth floor is not long, and everyone arrived at the fifth floor in a short time.
Everyone was immediately shocked by the scenery in front of them. This was a cave that was even larger than the cave they had just rested in. It was almost impossible to see the end at a glance. It was hard to imagine that there was such a huge space in such a deep underground.
They entered from an entrance on one side of the cave. Looking along the edge of the cave, they could vaguely see several similar entrances. Obviously, there was more than one road leading to the fifth floor.
The ground of the entire cave appears to be sloping downward toward the center. You can see a huge pit in the center, and countless black auras are constantly flowing out of it, echoing in the fifth floor. This black aura
It is not a dark element, but a collection of similar negative emotions, the same as those that Lando saw in the mountains when he entered the waste crystal mine, but here it is more solid.
The group of people moved towards the hollow in the center. As they got closer to the hollow, a kind of terrifying pressure appeared in everyone's hearts, making everyone feel very uncomfortable.
When she came to the hollow, she looked down and saw only the endless darkness, mixed with the whining wind and the depressing dark atmosphere. Leia grabbed Lando's sleeve and shrank back. Alice
He cast a glance, then quietly turned his gaze.
"This should be the 'Abyss of Nothingness'!" Stellan said excitedly.
Jens said calmly: "If your information is correct, it should be here."
Stellan's excited look softened slightly and he fell silent.
Seeing that everyone was silent, a question mark '?' slowly floated over Leia's head, but she remained obedient and did not speak.
Jens opened his mouth to break the silence: "Stran, you are already here, so there is no need to hide it, right? You have to tell me all the other information!"
Stellan looked around and saw that everyone was waiting for him to speak. He smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, now that we are here, I will explain everything."
"Originally I would not have come to a resource like Crystal World, but not long before the opening of Crystal World, a 'big man' came to me and revealed a lot of relevant information to me, although I don't understand why he did this.
Maybe it’s an experiment? Or maybe it’s fun? But that doesn’t stop me from choosing to come to this world to see if I can get that reward!”
"Everyone should know that the crystal life has a bet with the empire, right? In fact, it is more of a bet than an agreement to ask for help."
"Although the crystal life is great, it is very lonely. It hopes that the empire can help it find or give birth to its kind. As long as this can be accomplished, the bet will be completed."
"Our accompanying crystals and the crystal creatures in this world are the empire's efforts to fulfill this agreement."
"The time lasted until the end of the last Crystal World. A certain Lord dropped a new generation of test subjects in this world. The information I got is that this time the test subjects are very likely to complete the bet. As long as we return to the Lord's natural
We can collect relevant data through our companion crystals to determine the completion of the experiment, and then the next time the Crystal World opens may be the last time."
Jens asked in a deep voice: "Then what does this have to do with us? If nothing else happens, the test object will be in the 'Abyss of Nothingness', right? Since your Excellency has arranged the results for it, what is the purpose of our arrival?"
"Ha! Don't worry, I came prepared. After the 'big man' revealed the news, I did nothing. I searched for a lot of relevant information, and after entering this world, I explored a lot of information.
and conducted a comprehensive analysis.”
"I have come to a guess. The reason why the Crystal World has not been able to give birth to real crystal life after so many developments is that it lacks a crucial element - spirituality, and it is the unique spirituality of crystal life."
"Below the 'Abyss of Nothingness' is the core of the crystal world's leyline nodes. The Lord put into it a creation that can nurture spirituality by absorbing emotions. It continuously absorbs the emotions of all tribes settled near the node crystals through the crystal network all over the world.
, to grow.”
"Because negative emotions are always more persistent and corrosive than positive emotions, over the years, this is what it looks like here."
"Now we only need to enter the 'Abyss of Nothingness', break the container containing spirituality, and integrate the spirituality in it into our own companion crystal. Then we can successfully give birth to a real crystal life. Not only can we directly obtain that
With the friendship of a great crystal being, you can also have a good helper with extraordinary potential!"
Lando nodded secretly. Stellan's statement was completely consistent with the intelligence he had collected.
After hearing this statement, everyone was excited for a moment, and some sober people asked: "Doesn't this break the adults' plan? Is this really good?!"
After hearing the question, Lando felt keenly that most people showed the same worried look, but two or three people, including Stellan and Jens, showed covert disdain and looked at the person who asked the question.
People's eyes are much more contemptuous.
Stellan smiled and said: "Don't worry, the adults won't blame us for this kind of thing. On the contrary, once it is completed, there may be rewards."
Stellan said this with great certainty.
Jens also smiled and said: "Indeed, in the eyes of the big shots in the empire, we are all still children. Even if we are 'naughty', it is understandable. As long as the resources are not wasted, it is nothing."
Calvo also nodded in agreement, which was a well-known fact among their ancient school.
A flash of lightning flashed through Lando's mind. At this moment, he thought of Odo's teachings to him, of what Leia had said about the empire's policy on talents, and of Stellan and Jens who didn't care about disrupting the experiments of the empire's big shots.
attitude, these once again broke his suspicions about the empire's tolerance for arcanists.
‘It seems that many of my previous worries were unnecessary. Maybe I can be more high-profile!’ Lando took a look at the system and repositioned himself again.
