Under the guidance of the Guardian flagship "Aiur", the Giant Turtle Rock Platform slowly approached the planet covered by an energy barrier, filled with thick clouds and endless thunder and lightning: the final hub.
The spacecraft hovered near the top of the atmosphere, and the external monitor transmitted a clear image of the planet at close range. The striking planetary shield appeared more solid at this distance, and showed obvious textures and "blocks" ": It is made up of extremely huge hexagons. The borders of the hexagons are shining brightly, and the inside of the hexagons is flowing with light, which makes the entire shield look like a crystal armor several kilometers thick. . This layer of shield has no obvious energy divergence structure, nor can it sense the energy projection source from the surface. This is very different from any shield Hao Ren knows, including planetary shields.
Inside the shield are tumbling clouds and lightning. Due to the occlusion of the thick atmosphere, it is almost difficult to see the surface of the planet directly from space. Only when there are occasional gaps in the clouds can we get a glimpse of the real appearance of the planet. What Hao Ren saw in this glimpse What I saw was the earth full of crystal clusters.
"Finally here..." Hao Ren stood on the bridge of the Giant Turtle Rock Terrace, looking at the scene presented on the holographic projection and muttering to himself.
From first seeing this planet in the illusion of the red moon, to following the guidance of the star map engraved in Vivian's soul to come to this galaxy, encountering a divine storm in this mysterious and dangerous galaxy, and discovering the traces of the star people, Engage the ancient Legion of Guardians and the mighty minions of the Lord of Madness...
In the end, he finally really stood at this place, standing next to one of the miracles created by the Goddess of Creation, and this miracle was inextricably linked with Vivienne...
He could feel that he was only one step away from some ultimate truth.
The figure of Salaman appeared on the holographic projection in front of the captain's seat—in the communication screen, the giant more than ten meters tall became the height of a normal person, which also made the communication much easier: "Mother is extremely secretive. All the celestial bodies in the entire holy land were shaped out of thin air by her powerful divine power, and even the space here was transformed by her to ensure that the evolution of the material universe would not interfere too much here , the eternity of the holy place is thus ensured. In this universe, only we, the guardians of the hidden holy place, know about it...
"Unlike other brothers and sisters, we were not born in the source blood ocean of the founding star, but were created in a more hidden place. Mother adjusted the spiritual network of our guardians so that we can be independent exists for other guardians.
"From the day we were born, we have been trained and sharpened our minds. Guarding this place is our greatest mission. We guard here for thousands of years, just to wait for the arrival of the guide. Today, you are here, and through Nakdal crystal test - but this woman must undergo a more formal 'verification' before we can confirm the identity of her guide. Please don't think this is unkind: for an eternal mission , no matter how strict the spirit of prudence is necessary.”
Hao Ren nodded slightly: "After that, will you tell us the secrets of this place and the final plan of the Goddess of Creation?"
"Actually, this is something that the guides knew from the very beginning, but..." Salaman gave Vivian a slightly embarrassed look, "I'm afraid even my mother never expected that her creation would have 'amnesia'." The situation... yes, I will tell you all the secrets, if you really pass the verification."
"I have another question," Hao Ren said, "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to talk about this planet—it's about the people of the starry sky. We found a large number of dormant stars in the X star cluster... that is, the local galaxy group." Starmen warships, their energy and consciousness have been transmitted here, if I'm not mistaken, the planetary shield above the 'hub'..."
"The situation was urgent," Salaman nodded lightly. "The defense line was breached from the inside, and the starmen who were in charge of guarding the periphery of the satellite cluster had no time to return to the defense, so they used the racial talent of the starmen to transmit energy to the hub. After so many years Come on, the Corruptors have approached the final defense circle many times, if it weren't for this extra planetary shield, our defense line might not last as long as it is now."
Hao Ren casually said: "In the outer universe... the people of the starry sky have disappeared for many years. I didn't expect there to be so many here."
"The people of the starry sky... They have been mother's allies since the age of darkness and chaos, but few people—including the guardians—knew their existence. They didn't reappear beside mother until this era," Salaman shook Shaking his head, "Actually, even we can't fully understand the history of those primordial creatures. They are ghosts who have survived the dark and chaotic era. They have always wandered on the edge of the orderly world. Only mother knows everything about them. Alright, I Enough has been said, if you want to know more, wait until the identity of the guide is verified."
Hao Ren didn't object. Although he really wanted to ask about the divine power blockade and the Crystal Throne right now, this legion commander was obviously more stubborn and cautious than Muru, Limendusa, and Sif. An's identity is theoretically impeccable, and he will also look for the "authentication" system left by the goddess of creation—not to mention that there is still no sufficient evidence to prove Vivienne's identity.
Let's take a look at what the so-called "verification" is all about.
On the thick planetary crystallization shield, a hexagonal area suddenly became clear and thin. The Ayer and the Giant Turtle Rock Platform passed through this opening and flew steadily towards the surface of the planet.
"I'll keep an eye on the whole 'verification' process," Hao Ren turned to Vivian and said to Vivienne after temporarily hanging up the communication, "I still don't know how the identification process left by the Goddess of Creation works, we have to keep Be vigilant."
Vivienne frowned: "Do you doubt that the things left to me by the Goddess of Creation...is there a problem? Or do you suspect that there is something wrong with these guardian giants?"
"Being cautious is the long-term solution. The things left by the Goddess of Creation may be fine, but the 'Goddess of Destroyer' is hard to say, and even if these guardian giants seem to be uncorrupted, no one can say It is not allowed whether the orders they received have been distorted or not," Hao Ren shook his head, "Even if these are all right, you are actually an uncertain factor—don't forget, you are only half of the divine clone, and the Goddess is responsible for it." The complete 'guide' that was created was already divided into two on Purgatory Planet."
Vivienne sighed softly: "As an incomplete 'guide', I may not be able to pass the 'verification', is that what you mean?"
Hao Ren looked at Vivian and grabbed her hand: "Don't worry, even if this road doesn't work, we must have other ways to unlock the secrets of this planet. After all, the Goddess of Creation is just an uneducated girl." Ye Luzi, and here I have technical support from the genuine god system."
After a while, he added: "Of course I don't mean to blow up this planet..."
Vivian: "... I didn't say you were going to explode!"
Hao Ren scratched his hair: "I don't know what's going on, but I suddenly feel that someone will say that I'm going to blow up this planet... Forget it, it's likely to be Galazore and Anthony's gang of mildewed water." forum guy."
While speaking, two spaceships had already landed on the surface of the hub.
As a holy place, this planet has been hardly developed, and the surface of the planet has only a very limited infrastructure built by the guardian giants.
The two spaceships landed on a platform made of crystal and metal. The three directions around the platform are endless plains full of crystal clusters, and behind the platform is a long crystallization ramp.
At the end of the ramp is a mountain completely made of blue and white crystals.
Hao Ren left Doudou on the spaceship to watch the house, and let a few self-discipline machines accompany the little guy to relieve boredom, while he and Vivian came to the crystal ramp together.
The crystal mountain in the distance towers into the sky, and the cliffs around the mountain are steep and straight. The whole mountain stands on the ground like a sharp sword or a giant tower. Continuous thunderstorms are generated around this mountain, continuously Hitting on the crystallized cliffs of the mountain.
"I saw this place in a vision..." Hao Ren muttered to himself, "The Crystal Throne is inside this mountain..."
The space behind him was distorted, and Salaman's huge figure also appeared in front of the ramp. The old giant's voice was like thunder: "The core of the Holy Land is ahead, and I will personally take you there."
"Is it just you?" Hao Ren looked back and saw that many guardian giants had also left the spaceship, but they were all standing quietly in the distance, as if they had no intention of following.
"My brothers and sisters are with me," Salaman said. "What I see, they can see, and if anything goes wrong with the verification process, they can come to me at any time. But before that , the Holy Land doesn’t need any more disturbance.”
"I understand—you guardians just have something to say that you can't speak properly," Hao Ren twitched the corners of his mouth, "Isn't it strictly forbidden to make noise..."
Salaman didn't answer, but took the lead and walked in the direction of the "Holy Mountain".
Hao Ren, Vivian and the data terminal hurriedly followed behind.
After walking for a while, the data terminal couldn't help it anymore, let's start:
"I said, do we have to walk over? How fast can we fly over directly or teleport through space..."
"..."
"Okay, okay, this machine knows that this is a holy place."
"By the way, can you tell this machine first what the verification process is? We might as well make preparations first."
"..."
"Okay, okay, this machine knows that this is a holy place."
"The great plain outside here is very desolate. This machine thought you would have a base camp here or something."
"..."
"Okay, okay, this machine knows that this is a holy place."
Salaman stopped suddenly, looked down at the data terminal floating next to Hao Ren's head seriously, and then looked at Hao Ren again: "You...don't put a goblin in it, do you?"
Hao Ren: "This thing has been so broken since the day I got it! It has nothing to do with fairies!"
"Oh, so there are so many talking creatures in this world besides fairies."
The data terminal "Teng" immediately became angry: "This machine is dueling with you! Do you understand duels! Partner, don't stop this machine, don't stop... Damn, you really don't want to stop?"
"You can just sit quietly." Hao Ren grabbed the data terminal and stuffed it in his pocket. "It's not embarrassing."
And just for a while, Salaman stopped again: "We are here."
"That's it?" Hao Ren was taken aback, and quickly turned his head to look in the direction he came from: he saw an extremely long ramp, which could almost allow a thousand Nangong Wuyue in the form of a sea snake to line up. He had fun on it, but he felt that he had only walked on it for more than ten minutes at most.
Only then did Salaman explain: "Being able to walk on this slope means that you have passed the first test: anyone who is polluted by the power of the Lord of Madness or who has malicious intentions towards the Holy Land will not be able to walk at all. Here. As for the distance... this is an irrelevant issue in the Holy Land, where the space is never continuous and uniform."
The corner of Hao Ren's mouth trembled: "I knew it must not be that simple..."
