Electric sparks were still coming from the broken incisions in the wall, and several damaged autonomous defense robots were lying in the corridor illuminated by the lamp.
The hard boots made a clear sound when they stepped on the steel grating floor, but otherwise the air was extremely quiet.
Xing held a temporarily modified sword in his hand, with some blue coolant still remaining on it. When he walked to a closed circular door, he stopped.
A heavy and acidic chopping sound sounded.
He held the knife and struck hard again and again, cutting small cracks into the thick door. The special metal inside rolled out and made a harsh sound as it crossed the blade.
The originally straight blade also deformed and curled during the chops, which forced him to stop and stroke the blade with his hand.
Where the fingers touched, the blade gradually turned red and softened, and then he slowly straightened it, and then chopped again and again.
In this way, more than ten minutes later, a ferocious and torn gap appeared on the door in front of me, and a faint cold breath came from inside.
Looking at the scenery behind the door that was about to be revealed, he stopped his movements, then gathered strength and kicked out with a dull sound.
The gap in the door was torn open to become an inch larger. Seeing the effect, he repeated it again. After several times, he finally opened a gap for his companions.
Looking at the lights that came on one after another behind the door and the weapons that were vaguely visible in the peripheral vision, Xing couldn't help but frown, and then stopped temporarily.
With his strength, it is not difficult to defeat these self-discipline machines that have been dusted for thousands of years and are mostly broken. However, according to previous experience, such a battle will also cause a lot of damage, and now his position is very close to the core area.
Let's wait a moment.
With this thought in mind, he stepped back for the time being and found a place to do it.
When he was recovering his physical strength and magic power, he clicked on the communication device next to his ear.
"How's it going with you over there?"
Then, a hoarse electric sound flashed by, followed by a vague and distorted reply.
"I've almost cracked it here. Wait a minute. What about you?"
"I have arrived at the outer gate of the core area, but there are many defense units inside. It is difficult to say what the consequences will be if a fight starts, so I want to ask about your situation."
"Very good. It's rare for you to be so cautious and calm. Wait a moment. I found a lot of amazing information here. I'll tell you later. Hang up now." After that, the voice disappeared, leaving only a faint sound.
The sound of current.
"What's such a surprise?" Xing muttered to himself, then leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.
This is the space inside the Throne of God. After approaching here a few months ago, their spaceship was shot down by the automatic defense system as soon as it approached. Fortunately, neither of them were ordinary people. In addition, many defense systems here were lacking due to the lack of
Maintenance, has been shut down, so it survived the hail of bullets.
Later, the two of them wandered around the periphery looking for opportunities. It took them three months before Lelila relied on a small internal loophole to disguise herself as a small transport ship transporting supplies and entered the interior of the Star Crown.
But the problem begins after entering. Compared with other places, this place is too big. The facilities inside the throne are even larger than the entire continent. Countless facilities are scattered throughout it. If you can't steal the internal information, you won't know where the core area is.
Where, where can we really get in touch with the operating point of Star Crown.
Therefore, the two of them split into two groups. Lelila accessed the system inside the throne to look for opportunities to gain permission, while Xing headed towards the main body based on the structure of the facility to look for possible locations.
More than half a year passed in this way, and the two would only occasionally contact each other to report on each other's location and progress.
Time passed by minute by minute, and a few hours later, the sound of paging electricity came again to Xing's ears.
"Where are you? I'll go there. Now I've cracked a basic identity authority."
"I'm in area B2N47. You can find me here."
"Okay, I'll come right away." Then the voice hung up.
An hour later, a figure with blond hair and golden wings flew at high speed, passed through the dark and long corridors, and finally arrived at this narrow entrance.
"Oh, this is it. It seems you did a good job." Lelila retracted her wings, squatted down, and inspected the scrapped machines at her feet. Although many of them were damaged, from the thick barrels and
Judging from the powerful construction materials, such a spirit sub-sequence mechanical body has a combat power no less than that of Sequence 8, and there are quite a few of them.
"The core area is inside." Xing stood up and pointed at the gap in the door next to him with his knife.
"Yes and no." Lelila shook her head.
"This is just the outer ring of the core A3 area. There are three floors inside, and each floor is more heavily defended. There is even a Sequence 9 Spirit Subsequence Machine sleeping inside."
"If the situation is critical, these high-level mechanical beings will even forcefully escape from the throne surrounded by important 'cornerstones', and then leave here."
"They have this strength, hundreds of sequence 9 mechanical beings, enough to open a big hole in the throne, and then leave here with the important 'foundation'."
"Hundreds? Are you sure?" Xing frowned.
Lelila turned her head, looked at the man covered with scars and dust with her golden brown eyes, and nodded slightly.
"Yes, in fact, this is the result of my conservative estimate. If it was an era before the Transcendent fell, there should be two Sequence 10 apostles guarding this place. You have to understand the importance of this place as the crystallization of civilization.
Human civilization at that time valued this place very highly."
"In fact, most of the defense forces are still distributed in various star nodes around the crown of stars. There are many star dragons sleeping in those blue suns. If they receive a signal, they will wake up."
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Do you have any ideas?" Xing Bao shook his head.
"I have obtained some permissions and disguised myself as an intern researcher who came to observe and study. Because such researchers are not official members, they do not need to file in depth in the central document library. The inspection and review will be lighter, but the price is also that the permissions are very high.
It is limited, it can only ensure that it will not be actively attacked by the defense system, and it cannot go to some restricted areas."
"Isn't that useless?"
"No, no, it's still useful. There are always some tricks to get around the so-called system and confuse people. I just need a stepping stone."
"Now, let you see the results first." After saying that, Lelila walked towards the front door.
She first stepped through the gap in the door, then stood there, letting the scanners and monitoring devices scan her body. Then a small light blue symbol appeared in front of her eyes, and there seemed to be dense and complex patterns inside.
Soon after, the mechanical life forms inside gradually stopped vigilance and returned to their positions. At this time, Lelila also turned around and waved to Xing.
In this way, after Lelila's dazzling operations, the two of them approached the central core area step by step, quietly walking in front of the huge mechanical life forms. These mechanical life forms were like giant mountains.
, even if they were not awakened, the aura and magic power emanating from their bodies amazed the two of them.
Although the two of them were also people of extraordinary strength, if they were to awaken these mechanical beings at the same time, they would probably flee in panic under siege.
Finally, after a long period of fear, the two of them entered the deepest space.
The heavy door that had been closed for thousands of years slowly opened, and the huge and magnificent column inside appeared in front of you.
Within the transparent cylinder of hundreds of meters, countless tiny light particles float and swim. They seem to be alive, as agile as a school of fish, but upon closer inspection, they are not real life, but special mana particles.
This kind of particle is more active and sensitive than any Mana known before. When the two of them walked into this space, they were frightened and fled in all directions, scurrying around in the hundreds of meters wide cylinder, and some even disappeared.
.
Even if the two of them stand still, just the observation of their eyes can make these particles change. Some of them sublimate and dissipate, and some of them fission and overflow, constantly changing.
"Even now, I still don't know what principles the Transcendents at that time relied on to construct this third crown." Lelila looked at the scene in front of her and shook her head.
"Can the spinning thread of fate and the melody of cause and effect really be controlled by life? Or, in other words, its true principle is not these, but it is just a time machine that selects a parallel world in the future."
"Let's go." After a few words of reflection, Lelila stopped looking at the ethereal cylinder that she couldn't understand.
"You don't need to look at it, this is not the core of the throne, it is just a component used to express its appearance."
"And what we are really looking for is the rarity sleeping in the 'Cornerstone', our Princess."
"Princess?" Xing was a little confused, why would he mention such an ancient title.
"Well, it's just a nickname I chose, but she does deserve such a title. As an ancient soul, the cornerstone of the Sun Throne, and one of the four primal pure winds of change, Lorraine Hill." Lelila read.
This extremely secret name appears in the records.
Although everyone knows about the Sun Crown in the Age of Transcendents, the names of the four cornerstones of the throne, namely the Four Original Primes, have always been a secret, and few outsiders know about it, because it involves how to build the crown and the weaknesses of the crown.
As the two walked, Lelila introduced how the 'Original Heart' was defeated by the Mechanical Council, and how the Mechanical Council later absorbed this plan and implemented it.
…
"In other words, our ancestors, the forerunners of human civilization, relied on the four special souls produced by the first impact that year to construct the first Throne of God plan, and then the Crown of the Sun was born."
"Yes, that's right, and because Lorraine Hill is the original wind, extremely adaptable and nearly omnipotent, she was used as the carrier and cornerstone of the Star Crown."
"That's why she also survived the disaster that year." Lelila said the information she learned from the data and walked towards the console under the column.
After inserting the ID card and performing the final authorization crack, a small closed door slowly opened in front of me, and then the doors opened layer by layer, revealing a narrow and solid passage.
"This is the inside of the foundation stone. The treasure we are looking for is hidden inside." Lelila lowered her body and walked in front, passed through the long passage, and finally came to a small space.
Diamond-shaped transparent crystals are inlaid on the inner wall of the space, forming barriers to protect the sealed, coffin-like cabin in the center.
The blade slashed at these transparent barriers and instantly turned into smoke and disappeared. At this time, there was no socket for identity verification and unlocking.
"Oh, the Transcendents are really thoughtful. There is no normal unlocking method here. It can only be unlocked by violence. Violent unlocking will inevitably cause huge energy and magic fluctuations, which cannot be hidden at all." Lelila finished checking it.
, shook his head.
"I'll look for it again, but it really doesn't work, so I have to take a risk."
…
Two weeks later.
"Or not."
Compared to Lelila, who was graceful and calm a few days ago, she was now exhausted and discouraged. She sat slumped on the ground, looking at the solid barrier constructed of crystals in front of her.
"I feel like even if four Sequence 10 apostles come, they may not be able to break through these barriers in a short time. We can only grind them slowly."
Another month has passed...
Three months...
One year...
Finally, as the last crystal slowly burned out, the barrier in front of him disappeared.
"Tired..." Lelila gasped while holding on to the wall, while Xing slowly cooled down his body covered with blood-red muscles, and then slowly slid down against the wall.
"These crystals, which rely on cosmic microwave radiation for positioning, are really stubborn. They refuse all kinds of space movement and block all matter and light inward. I really don't know where the transcendent people at that time found them."
"Okay, now we should be able to meet the 'princess'."
"This story of rescuing a princess from a dragon's lair cannot be complete until we meet the princess."
Lelila carefully approached the closed cabin in the center step by step. From the appearance, this dormant cabin was not gorgeous. It could even be said to be too ordinary, which made people wonder whether there was really a treasure hidden inside.
Press the button, the upper layer of the cabin slowly deflates, and then slowly opens upward.
In the changing liquid, a beautiful and dreamy body slowly emerged.
First, there are the snow-white feet soaked in the water, which are like perfect and exquisite masterpieces. Then there are the white calves, the snow-white skirt, the slender waist, the slightly rising chest, the little silver hair falling in front of the shoulders, and the
An appearance that amazes the world.
"So far, I still don't know why the Transcendents created a realistic body for the original wind, but I swear, I think this is the wisest decision they made, so that we can be able to survive thousands of years later.
With my own hands, I woke up this miracle from its slumber and picked it up."
"The third crown, the crown of stars of destiny and miracles, and Lorraine Hill as the carrier, our hope and last angel, will be entrusted to you from now on."
"Forgive us sinners, the guilty ones who pulled down the flawless angels from their thrones."
Opening the hatch, the floating brilliance of liquid flowed out slowly, and Lelila slowly picked up the silver-haired angel.
She gently touched the cheek of the girl in her arms with her hand, and before she knew it, tears were streaming down her face.
Xing Tian watched quietly from the side, his vision gradually blurring. He seemed to have many things to say to the sleeping girl, but he was afraid of scaring this pure and weak life.
Our will, our hope for the future...
The two of them hugged the sleeping silver-haired girl and slowly walked out of the underground foundation stone.
Amidst bursts of explosions and fierce battles, they fought and retreated in the face of the high-level mechanical beings that were pursuing them, until they arrived at the intended departure point.
Xingtian was still fending off the chasing mechanical life, while Lelila slowly put the silver-haired girl in her arms into the single-person spacecraft prepared in advance.
The dark gold glass cover slowly closed, and the several sacred crystals inside slowly lit up, raising a special barrier to shield and protect the aura of the girl inside.
Bang! A violent explosion exploded at the entrance of the passage. With this shock wave, Xing Tian briefly avoided the battle and came to Lelila's side.
"Just let her return to Earth alone?"
"Well, the remaining holy objects are only enough to protect and cover her." Lelila said.
"That's not what I mean. I mean, how can you ensure that there will be no accidents along the way? You must know that she is as fragile as a mortal. Even the smallest crisis will cause her to die in deep space, and tens of thousands of years of travel
, enough to amplify any event with a small probability."
"I can't guarantee that even if we set foot on the Star Sea, we can't guarantee that accidents won't happen." Lelila shook her head.
"Then you return it!" Xing wanted to grab the aircraft that was about to take off.
"It's okay." Lelila stopped Xing Tian.
"She'll be fine."
"I don't know how to explain it to you."
"She is a born pure angel, the holder of divine authority, and the carrier of the crown of stars. Believe me, believe in the wisdom of the transcendents. Even if she is still sleeping, with the protection of the crown of stars, she can still survive in countless turbulences.
Avoid the dangers of fate and reach the distant shore safely."
"You have to know that she is one of the four originals, a young god and the prototype of an angel. She will not fall into the sea of stars so easily."
"I have also prepared a system for how to guide her in the future, and will slowly guide her to come into contact with the truth of history."
"As for the name, I've already thought about it. Let's call it Falling Star."
"The fallen morning star, the returning son of the white robe, the promised final miracle."
Lelila looked at the small spaceship floating into the deep space, the brilliance in her eyes slowly flowing, and she murmured in her mouth, as if she was saying goodbye, and she seemed to be saying her last prayer.
