The familiar scene seems like it was yesterday, right in front of my eyes.
Dongfang Ruo looked at his retreating back blankly, and then slowly, his face was filled with anger and grievance...
"asshole……"
…
After the burning heat disappeared, the world in Dongfang Ruo's eyes was no longer pure white, it began to slowly become clear, and finally disappeared like a thick fog dispersing.
What just happened?
Dongfang Ruo no longer remembered it, but looking at the broken Ankara King's Sword in her hand, she realized that she no longer had any power to rely on.
In a world that has returned to peace, on the sea, the crimson mecha "Star Destroyer" like the Return of the King used its less than half-charged "Star Destroyer Cannon" to neutralize the enemy's life-threatening blow at the most critical moment.
.
The air was filled with the stench of vaporized crude oil and burning flesh and blood.
Dongfang Ruo frowned and jumped into the air, only then could he see clearly the true appearance of the enemy.
It was a giant whose head alone was four to five hundred meters wide. Her expression seemed to be still grinning, but most of her head had been crushed, and her surging brain looked like magma in the afterglow of scorching energy.
Only one of her four arms is still holding on to the Quantum Origin, while the other three are falling off and disintegrating into countless tiny figures.
Is she dead? Dongfang Ruo is not sure, but looking at the gradually subduing restlessness around him and feeling the tranquility in the sea breeze, Dongfang Ruo realizes that this sudden battle has come to an end.
On Bai Ze's side, the enemies who were entangled with him suddenly gave up their strength, fell to the surface of the sea, and then slowly sank until they disappeared.
They come suddenly and manically, but disappear quietly.
After taking a deep breath, Bai Ze felt the pain of his abdominal wound. He gritted his teeth, endured it, and then flew to Dongfang Ruo and said: "Junior sister, it seems that they have retreated. Let's go to the master's side quickly."
.”
Dongfang Ruo watched the giant's last arm begin to fall off, and then he nodded with relief.
The two of them got up in the air and went straight to Luo Shengtian.
On the other hand, Jin Yu, who had made great achievements, was floating on the sea without anyone paying attention, and felt very embarrassed.
"Shouldn't you give me a big hug at this time?" Jin Yu curled his lips and smiled helplessly.
…
"Master." When Dongfang Ruo and Bai Ze returned to Luo Shengtian.
Luo Shengtian's breath has also returned to stability, but now is not the time to relax. He must find a way to put the mountain-sized Quantum Origin safely on the sea.
So as soon as he saw Dongfang Ruo and Bai Ze, he said: "You guys have a rest first, and later we will seal the cracks in this big ship with ice, and you're done."
Big ship?!
Nalan couldn't help but laugh, but she didn't dare to laugh now, because it was heartbreaking pain when she was distracted, and that was no joke.
After hearing this, Dongfang Ruo noticed that the Quantum Origin had broken, and the location of the break was very obvious.
It's just that Dongfang was entangled by those dark tentacles before, and if Dongfang didn't see clearly...
Looking at the gap, Dongfang Ruo was startled at first, and then his expression became very ugly.
Luo Shengtian saw his disciple's troubles and comforted him: "Ruo'er, don't worry first. Although this big ship has holes, there should be holes inside. It will be put in place by then. Master, I will go and see it with you."
Let’s find out.”
Dongfang Ruo nodded deeply when he heard this. Of course, this caring feeling also made Nalan? and others envious.
Especially Niyunji, her expression was obviously much sadder.
Fortunately, Dongfang Ruo never forgot Niyunji's other self. She flew close to Niyunji, wiped her sweat, and then just smiled gently, and the haze on Niyunji's face dissipated a lot.
While we were sitting here to rest for a while, Jin Yu also drove the Star Destroyer to the vicinity.
He walked out of the cockpit and stood on the shoulders of the Star Destroyer and sighed: "Master, you really opened my eyes. Originally, I didn't believe that there was any power greater than science in the world, but today, I discovered that I
He is really ignorant and ignorant."
Luo Shengtian smiled and said: "This little friend also impressed me. This mecha of yours is also the most powerful I have ever seen. I just don't know what the design principle of this mecha is. Why was it used by me before?"
Can it be reassembled on its own after being dismantled like that?"
Jin Yu was stunned when he heard the words. He was really confused by the question. So far, not only Luo Shengtian and the others couldn't understand this mecha, Jin Yu himself was also blank.
Although it was already clear that it was the first interstellar-level human weapon based on superstring technology that Lin Yan sent to Gaia, he still needed detailed information to understand its principle.
However, the existing things are enough to answer the questions of laymen like Luo Shengtian.
So Jin Yu replied: "Well, the master has given me the award. In fact, this mecha is nothing special. It is just a little bigger than the ordinary brilliant-class mecha, and it is a little more durable. And... it doesn't have the usual meaning.
The sadly damaged parts on the aircraft can be reassembled with a series of sequences as long as the integrity of the body is good."
Luo Shengtian let out a long "Oh" when he heard this, and he didn't know whether he really understood it or just cooperated.
In short, Nalan on the side is really convinced by his master... When he takes action, he is completely like a god, but once he calms down, he looks like a curious old naughty boy. He can talk to everyone and everything he meets is interesting. It's really
There really is no sense of mystery about being a great god.
Jin Yu also laughed awkwardly after hearing the response.
After he finished laughing, he quickly asked: "Master, I was also ordered to come to save people. I wonder if there is anyone I can help now?"
Luo Shengtian was still staring at the Star Destroyer curiously. After listening to Jin Yu's words, he casually said: "It's nothing, just watch from the side."
Jin Yu: "Uh... well, I'll wait until the master is finished."
With that said, Jin Yu returned to the cockpit of the Star Destroyer. He happened to take advantage of this time to study this brand new Xingyu-class mecha.
…
About half an hour passed like this.
The seawater inside the Quantum Origin has basically been poured out, and Dongfang Ruo and Bai Ze have almost rested.
Luo Shengtian began to return the Quantum Origin to the sea.
It seems simple to pick it up and put it down, but in fact it is much more difficult to put it down than to pick it up.
Because the Quantum Origin is too big and heavy, if Luo Shengtian suddenly releases his force, and such a big thing hits the sea, even if it is intact, it will most likely become silent again. After all, although the Quantum Origin is
Voyager-class mothership, but it is not a real ship!
Once you let go, the Quantum Origin will turn into a submarine and all your previous efforts will be wasted...
Therefore, sealing the gap with ice is only the first step. How to place it safely on the sea is the key.
Luo Shengtian is not a physics genius, nor does he have calculation data reference such as the sequence core, but he can communicate with the ancient spirit in the depths of the ocean, that is, the one who once swallowed the Star Destroyer Ize.
Records about the ancient spirits of Gaia appear in many documents, but most of them are illegible and vague, and most of them are listened to as myths.
But for the Mysterious Sect, ancient spirits do exist, and they are the guardians of the natural order. One of the prerequisites for practicing Mysterious is to have the ancient spirits you believe in. This belief is not only on the spiritual level.
Dependence is more about the mutual cooperation between natural laws.
Only the natural order of man's ancient spirit and the Trinity can truly inspire the mysteries.
And this Ize is the most powerful and ancient ancient spirit in the depths of this mysterious sea. It has no fixed form. When it appears, it brings back darkness like night. That darkness gives people a feeling of depression and terror.
It feels like it, but only those who practice mysticism will understand that darkness is the true appearance of the ocean, and it provides a natural barrier for the creatures in the ocean.
Now, Luo Shengtian is communicating with Yi Ze to confirm whether the Quantum Origin can float on the sea by itself.
Izawa's answer was: "It should be possible, but this mothership from an alien planet is itself a huge living body. During the thousands of years since it crashed and died, its body has been harmonious with the sea.
, so I worry that although it can float, it will eventually sink again."
Luo Shengtian understood, and he asked again: "Then...how long can it last?"
Izawa: "It will last for one day at most."
one day……
After thinking about it, Luo Shengtian felt that one day was still too short.
So he asked again: "Can you ask your people to help us?"
However, Ize replied: "This is the limit of what I can do to help you. As for the creatures living in the depths of the ocean, how can they be willing to help humans anymore when they are suffering from the killing of alien species? So,
You’d better not expect too much, lest you attract the anger of the Vasak clan.”
Luo Shengtian sighed softly when he heard this. He smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, thank you, Ize."
Ize: "You don't have to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank your disciple's parents. I just did what I should do. The rest is up to you."
After that, Ize's voice faded away, and the sea became clearer under the setting sun.
Bai Ze, who noticed this, asked softly: "Master? Has Ize already left?"
Luo Shengtian nodded, then looked at Dongfang Ruo and said, "Ruo'er, come here."
Dongfang Ruo was concentrating on using ice to seal the gap in the Quantum Origin, and when he heard the words, he immediately came over.
"master?"
"Ruo'er, I asked Yize just now, and she told me that although this big ship can span the stars, it has sunk after all. No matter how much we use the power of order itself, we can't prevent it from sinking again at sunset tomorrow.
Going to the bottom of the sea, so I want to ask you, is one day enough?"
one day?!
Dongfang Ruo and Luo Shengtian had the same idea. This mothership was too big and no one knew what was going on inside. One day... it was really... a bit stretched.
So Dongfang Ruo shook his head: "Master, I'm afraid one day is too short."
Luo Shengtian had already expected it, but this was the limit of what they could do, unless...
"Otherwise, Ruo'er, I, you, Ruo'er, and Junior Sister Yunji will stabilize the ship here, and then you, Bai Ze, and the friends sent by the Lightless City will go inside to find out what's going on.
, do you like it?"
"Master?!" Dongfang Ruo was startled. Of course she knew this was the best way, but Luo Shengtian was not a true god. How long could he persist?
"Ruo'er, this is the best way. The master has made a rough estimate. As long as there is no strong wind or hail, it will be fine for ten days and a half. It's just that the master told you before that he would accompany you.
The promise of going together to find out the truth can no longer be fulfilled, so you have to be more careful." Luo Shengtian said in an understatement.
Ten days and a half month... It is not easy for an ordinary person to stand still for a whole day. What if he is given another brick? It may not take half a day before he collapses from exhaustion.
And now Luo Shengtian is holding a mountain weighing 130 million tons! No matter how powerful he is... he still...
So after hearing this, Dongfang Ruo started to object: "No, Master! This will cause too much harm to you!"
But Luo Shengtian smiled and said: "Silly boy, don't be anxious. Since we have come to this point, maybe I should make these sacrifices for my apprentice. What's more, why don't you come back earlier?
Yet?"
After saying this, Dongfang Ruo felt a little at ease, but when she thought about it again and looked at Luo Shengtian's eyes, she suddenly woke up. Luo Shengtian was trying to comfort her with words.
Come back early...if Dongfang knew better, this trip might never come back.
so……
"Master!" Dongfang Ruo's eyes were red and she gritted her teeth, knowing that she could no longer delay.
But if you don’t want to let go, you don’t want to let go. That’s not hypocrisy.
Even after witnessing so much, Dongfang Ruo never regarded everything in front of her as an illusion, but she could not let down Luo Shengtian's kindness.
"Go! We'll wait for you to come back." Luo Shengtian looked at his beloved disciple, his eyes full of tenderness and helplessness.
There was only so much he could give Dongfang Ruo. As for Dongfang Ruo's knot, he could only untie it.
Nalan also comforted him and said from the side: "Senior sister, don't hesitate, go ahead and get him back. I just want to settle the account with him, for actually causing my favorite sister to suffer so much!"
Dongfang Ruo couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and his gloomy mood improved a little.
"Okay, take care of yourself. I'll be back soon!" After that, Dongfang Ruo didn't stay any longer.
Bai Ze just said: "I'm going, master." Then he followed Dongfang Ruo and flew down the ice, flying towards the inside of the Quantum Origin along the frozen gap.
Seeing his two beloved disciples disappear before his eyes, Luo Shengtian sighed softly.
Nalan, who was on the side, immediately changed his expression when he saw this: "Master?! You... are you okay?"
Luo Shengtian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, my teacher is not that fragile. I am still waiting to see the happy ending. How could I go away so easily?"
"Uh..." Nalan grinned: "Master, what are you sighing about?"
Luo Shengtian: "It's your senior sister I'm sighing about."
"Senior sister? What happened to her? Is it dangerous here?!"
Luo Shengtian shook his head, and then said: "Actually... your senior sister knows what she will see when she goes here, but she hasn't given up yet."
What he said was a bit profound, but Nalan didn’t understand it at all.
But Niyunji on the other side heard it clearly. She looked at the gap with a touch of sadness on her face.
…
Not long after Dongfang Ruo and Bai Ze left here, Jin Yu asked: "Master, can I go with you?"
Naturally, Luo Shengtian would not stop him: "My little friend, please help yourself, but this is dangerous, so I hope you will be more careful."
Jin Yu: "Thank you, Master!"
After that, Jin Yu also chased Dongfang Ruo.
…
One after another, they entered the Quantum Origin.
I thought it would be pitch black, or see countless wreckage, but as soon as I entered the Quantum Origin, what I saw was a spectacular forest scene.
Jin Yu was startled. He thought he had fallen into some kind of illusion.
So he hurriedly accelerated to catch up with Dongfang Ruo, and then asked: "You two, what is the situation here? How can there be a forest?"
Dongfang Ruo and Bai Ze were also very confused. The interior of the Quantum Origin they had imagined was similar to what Jin Yu had imagined, but as soon as they entered it, they found something was wrong. Everything here was too weird...
But before long, Dongfang Ruo saw a hazy glow, and then couldn't help but think of the scene she saw in the Tomb of Jingtianhuo.
"I think I've been here before?" Dongfang Ruo said, squatting down and picking up a small white flower at her feet.
Bai Ze also felt more and more familiar, especially when he saw those towering trees and the strange golden sunlight falling between the trees...
This scene...
It's all too familiar...
After Jin Yu took a look, he couldn't help being surprised: "Hey! This... seems to be Vasalil Forest!"
Vasalir Forest?
Dongfang Ruo was stunned for a moment, then his memory suddenly became clear.
Yes! This is the Vasalil Forest, but it is the original mysterious and ancient forest before the Tomb of Pure Heavenly Fire was discovered... As for these little flowers, they are the most inconspicuous but also the most important in this forest.
A tenacious individual life, but after being affected by the central curtain, eventually became the source of pollution for everything.
So why is there such a forest inside Quantum Origin?
Just as he was thinking about this, Dongfang Ruo suddenly noticed a group of figures appearing not far away. They were talking and laughing, walking forward, and standing at the head of the group, it was Lin Sen!!
Bai Ze and Jin Yu also saw these people, but the person they saw standing at the head of the team was not Lin Sen, but a somewhat unfamiliar man.
…
"Brother An, how long do we have to go?" Jin Yuan was so tired that he kept asking the same question since he got up in the morning.
Li Bo'an, who was standing at the head of the team, bit a straw stick and said: "It's still far away, but we should be able to reach our safe house by noon. I'll let you have a good rest then, okay!?"
Jin Yuan was happy when he heard this, and his legs and feet became more diligent.
"Then what are you waiting for? Stop dawdling! Hurry up!" Kanehara said and rushed to the front.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Yu quickly shouted: "Hey, fat man, don't run so fast, you will get lost!"
Jin Yuan didn't care about that much. He walked quickly and arrived in front of Dongfang Ruo and others in a blink of an eye. However, he turned a blind eye and ran past Dongfang Ruo.
