Somewhere in the space of the Mubess Domain, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the silent space. The light extended left and right until it was nearly a kilometer wide before stopping. The light began to undulate up and down, forming a regular sawtooth shape. Then, it opened up and down like a starship's cabin door, and a spatial passageway appeared in space.
The platinum starship slid out of the passageway like a bird. After a total of four Adahua Planet starships jumped out of the passageway, the spatial passageway began to close up and down and finally disappeared.
The starship flew towards Eternal Night Star according to its predetermined trajectory. A few minutes later, a dim planet appeared in front of the starship. There were no sun-like stars in this space, and the entire space appeared cold and dark. However, in reality, there was actually a sun in this space a long time ago. Eternal Night Star wasn't called that before. It was named after the Adahua Planet people who discovered it. At that time, the sun had already died, and this space was like an eternal night, so it was named Eternal Night.
The large number of ruins found on Eternal Night Star showed that the planet had once been as prosperous as Adahua Planet. After the sun disappeared, planetary civilization was even able to support the technology of an artificial sun. Unfortunately, after a thousand years, there were no resources to support the existence of an artificial sun, and the planet entered the Eternal Night period. Most of the planet's natives left through aircraft, but it was unknown whether they had found a suitable planet to live on in the end.
The natives that remained had died in large numbers due to the change in environment, and only a very small number had survived. The surviving natives had become ferocious and evil. These natives, known as "Night Demons", had extraordinary adaptability. Their bodies had become extremely strong, and their sense of smell for danger was exceptionally sensitive. However, the civilization they once possessed was gone forever. This left the scholars who studied them wondering if this phenomenon should be called evolution or regression.
Inside the leading starship, a planet was floating in front of Lucy. It was a three-dimensional projection of Eternal Night Star. She used her hands to adjust the angle and zoom in to observe the interior of the planet. Text information continued to appear beside her to help Lucy understand the planet faster.
The projection suddenly disappeared and Marquis Mainin, who was sitting beside her, said softly, "Your Highness, we are about to enter the planet's atmosphere. Please prepare for the impact."
Lucy nodded and activated the magnetic system to fix herself to her seat. At this time, the starship began to enter Eternal Night Star's atmosphere. The planet's atmosphere was already riddled with holes, which allowed countless fatal cosmic rays to easily enter the planet's interior, aggravating the death of Eternal Night Star. When the starship entered the atmosphere, a pair of flaming wings appeared.
After passing through the atmosphere, there was a thick layer of clouds in front of the fleet. Before they even entered the clouds, a strong hurricane swept over, causing the hull of the ship to sway. Only after the golden shields were activated did the starship stabilize.
The starship entered the thick clouds, and Lucy looked out of the window. Countless hailstones and lightning kept hitting the shield, causing ripples. The interior environment of this planet was indeed harsh. The thinnest of those lightning bolts was the size of a human arm, while the thickest ones were as thick as the mouth of a bowl. They were very powerful.
Fortunately, the starship soon left the thundercloud, and below it was a sea of rage. The sea was turbulent, and from time to time, there would be waves that were more than ten meters high. Sometimes, when the walls of waves collided with each other, they would set off huge waves that were hundreds of meters high. Looking from the sky, the huge waves were coming from the sky, as if the entire sea had been turned upside down. It was very frightening!
The starship slid past the peak of a huge wave, and the waves fell behind it, rolling away in a line. After one wave, another wave rose. Suddenly, several waterspouts rose on the surface of the sea in front of them. The waterspouts were connected to the thundercloud in the sky, growing larger and larger. In the blink of an eye, five or six giant pillars seemed to have been erected between the sky and the earth.
The waterspouts moved toward the starships, which were as small as insects under the power of heaven and earth. When the starship flew past the two waterspouts in a thrilling manner, Lucy's pale face finally relaxed a little.
The sea soon retreated under the starship's high-speed advance. A moment later, Lucy saw the land.
In the blink of an eye, the fleet had already flown above the land. The climate here was relatively stable. Through the porthole, she could see that the land was desolate and there were huge cracks on the ground from time to time. Looking down from the cracks, she could see the crisscrossing strata below. Occasionally, underground fire would spurt out from such cracks. When the earth fire landed on the ground, it would emit deadly poisonous smoke. Right now, the only people on Eternal Night Star who could move around without protective clothing were the Night Demon Clan.
When she saw the flickering energy shield on an isolated mountain, Lucy knew that she had finally arrived at Adahua Planet's research base on the planet. Apart from that, there was no second passageway on the cliff of Lonely Mountain. At this moment, one could see that there were many figures at the foot of the mountain. Those were the planet's native Night Devils.
These Night Devils would always try to climb Lonely Mountain, but the steep mountain would always make them return empty-handed. Even though there were especially strong Night Devils that could climb to the top of the mountain, the energy turrets installed on the outer walls of the base were not decorations. Even though there were especially strong Night Devils that could climb to the top of the mountain, the energy turrets installed on the outer walls of the base were not decorations. Moreover, the Night Devil was unable to break through the shield of the base. Even so, they were still pestering the base like moths. It had been like this for many years.
The people in the base were already used to this, but this was the first time Lucy had seen it, and her expression couldn't help but turn ugly. Ma Yin said from the side, "The Night Devil's visual system has deteriorated, but their hearing and smell have become exceptionally sharp. There was no intelligence left in them, and all that was left was primitive bestiality. They have an almost abnormal obsession with hunting life, and now, there aren't many lives left on Eternal Night Star. These Night Devils under the base have probably wandered over from other places. I'm afraid that the only remaining planet natives on Eternal Night Star have already gathered here. "
The starship turned around, allowing Lucy to see the terrifying shadows at the foot of the mountain. They opened their arms and screamed, as if they wanted to catch the starship flying over their heads. In the next moment, some of the Night Devils that had climbed up the mountain pounced towards the starship. Then, they fell from the sky and disappeared into the black tide below.
After entering the base from the safe entrance and the starship landed smoothly, Lucy deactivated the magnetic system and followed Main to the cabin door with Angeloni. A moment later, the cabin door opened and Lucy walked down the lift deck. She was shocked by the royal welcome music that had suddenly risen. It turned out that the personnel who had stayed behind at the base had prepared it to welcome her.
Lucy winked at Ma Yin, who understood and raised his hand with a smile, "Your Highness already knows your intentions. However, time is of the essence, so these ceremonies can be omitted. Who is in charge of the base now? "
A man stepped out of the ranks and bowed to Lucy and Main. "Baron Duke is here to await Your Highness' orders."
Main turned around and Lucy walked in front of him and smiled, "Then I'll have to trouble the baron to take care of me for the next few days in Evernight Continent."
Baron Duke was flattered and hurriedly said, "It's my duty. I wonder what Your Highness needs me to do."
Main stepped forward and said, "Arrange a place for Your Highness to rest first."
"I'm not tired."
Main smiled and said, "I know Your Highness is in a hurry to find the temple, but for the sake of a smooth journey, we should be prepared. Your Highness, please give me six hours, after which we will leave immediately. "
Since Main had said so, Lucy couldn't continue to insist and nodded in agreement.
Duke immediately called over two female soldiers and ordered them to take Lucy to rest first. Ma Yin then said to him, "I want a report on the current environment of Evernight Continent, as well as the distribution and evolution of the night demons."
"Please give me ten minutes." The baron paused for a moment before asking, "Sire, why exactly did Her Highness come to Evernight Continent? This planet is about to be destroyed. We've already received notice to evacuate the planet in a week. I'm afraid you won't be able to stay here for too long. "
"Understood, we'll stay for a week at most. As for what His Highness Lucy is looking for, it is an ancient temple. Its name translates into our language as' Zheka '. That's right, the Temple of Zheka. "
"The Zheka Temple?" Baron Duke was astonished. "You actually want to go to that kind of place? Heavens, it's too dangerous."
"It seems the baron knows that place."
"Of course I do. The Zheka Temple can be said to be the oldest temple on Evernight Continent. It's located in the buried imperial city of Suraka. Our scholars once did a detailed study of the imperial city and the temple, and there are still documents in the base. Oh, right. Mr. Morodo is still in the base. He was one of the scholars who participated in the study of the ruins back then, so he should be able to provide you with the necessary information. "
Ma Yin said happily, "That's great. I hope this gentleman can be a tour guide."
"Then he'll definitely be happy to. A few days ago, he was still clamoring to go back and do another investigation. If I hadn't ordered people to keep an eye on him all day long, he might have stolen the starship and left. "Duke chuckled.
Just as Lucy and the others were preparing to go to the temple, a bright light suddenly appeared in space in the Mubeth Star Region. The intense light radiated for several kilometers. After the light gradually disappeared, there was already an armed starship in space.
"Damn it, can't you guys open the passageway in a more stable place?"
"Who knew that there would be spatial undercurrents here? After all, this is the oldest star region in the Nine Great Star Regions. I wouldn't be surprised even if I bumped into a Cosmic Star Beast. Captain, just make do with it."
"Bastard, what kind of attitude is this? I'm the captain! Captain! "
"Alright, alright, Captain, I'll be more careful next time."
In the control room of the starship, there were six or seven aliens. They had different appearances and were obviously from different planets. Without exception, the auras of these aliens were not weak. They were interstellar mercenaries. As long as they were paid, they would accept any mission. The most notorious of the interstellar mercenaries were the people of Nelm. These aliens on Mo Suo could work as interstellar pirates at any time if they wanted to.
