Then … it was about time for the research to begin.
A large number of pompoms floated through the air. Their target was extremely obvious, which was the twisting device that stood in the forest of crystals.
After a few days, Lin had collected enough pompoms, so she began to research it. The method of research was very simple, which was to dig a hole in the twisting device and enter it.
The pompoms had already floated to the surface of the cylindrical device and began to … dig.
As they dug, Lin paid close attention to the movements of the Primordial realm experts. Although the pompoms were invisible right now, it was still possible for them to be discovered.
However … the Primordial realm experts did not seem to notice.
This was because Lin had discovered that they had all entered a state similar to resting. All the Primordial realm experts in the world … did not move at all.
The flying machines that had participated in the war had all landed on the surface and stopped all activity. Right now, only a few Primordial realm experts were commanding peak species and exploring the surrounding space. The rest were all … sleeping.
As a result, Lin did not seem to mind. After studying the twisting device, Lin planned on studying the exact situation of the Primordial realm experts.
It was not just the Primordial realm experts that were sleeping. All the creatures in the world were … sleeping.
Most of them had entered a frozen state of hibernation, but the Primordial realm clearly did not plan on continuing like this. The things they ordered their peak species to create were related to temperature.
They wanted to create some heating devices with a large range to restore warmth to the surface of the Mirror World. It seemed like the Primordial realm cared quite a bit about the creatures in this world …
Boom! Lin heard a sound from the sky and looked over. A few streaks of light shot through the sky, flying off into the distance.
They were the explorers. It seemed like … the last batch had returned.
Recently, the Primordial realm explorers had been fewer and fewer. They constantly returned, but no new ones left. After the last batch returned, there were no more explorers outside.
Did this mean … they believed there was no danger outside?
It seemed different, mainly because they were flying in different directions.
Through her recent observations, Lin discovered that the explorers would first fly to a certain place in the Mirror World. Lin called that place a 'pit'. In short, it was a very large hole in the ground. They would report there first.
However, the explorers did not fly to the pit this time. Instead, they flew towards the plains.
From Lin's current position, she could see the Mirror Plain in the distance. She could see a large number of Crystal Flyers parked on the plain.
They were all aircraft in a resting state. The exploration team first circled in the sky, then landed among the resting aircraft. They found some empty space and landed on the ground.
The moment the exploration team landed on the ground, all the aircraft that were resting suddenly … lit up.
They suddenly emitted a bright light and flew into the sky. They looked like a group of fireflies that had been startled.
They, who had been motionless all this time, suddenly seemed to be panicking. Could it be that something had really happened?
Just as Lin was thinking this, the sky suddenly … darkened.
Sure enough, there was an anomaly, and it seemed to be a very big anomaly.
Although this place was originally in the void, the starry sky in the sky was rather gorgeous, so this world wasn't considered dark.
But now, it was completely dark, as if the whole world was covered by something.
Complete darkness enveloped the sky. Not a single star could be seen, nor was there any light.
Of course, it was only the light outside that could not be seen. The light from the Primordial realm aircraft could still be seen. A large number of Crystal Flyers flew into the sky. Lin and many other pompoms could see a similar scene all over the Mirror World.
All the dormant Crystal Flyers had 'awakened'. They quickly rushed into the sky as if they were facing a great enemy. They got into their … formation.
Like a huge net, the Primordial realm aircraft quickly got into formation one after another. Then, they shot countless bullets into the sky.
Various balls of light, rays of light, and … things like missiles shot into the dark sky. They illuminated the entire world, but only for a very short time.
These comments disappeared after reaching the height of the void. They were like sand thrown into the sea, and there was no response.
However, the Primordial realm aircraft did not stop. They continued to attack the sky. Lin discovered a huge, crystalline disc slowly rise up from the ground. It shone brilliantly at the sky, and a pillar of light surged out from the centre of the disc. It seemed like it wanted to rip apart the darkness in the sky.
However, the pillar of light also entered the darkness. It did not seem to have any effect.
Looking at the scene in the sky, Lin also wanted to send the pompoms up there to take a look, but she decided to wait and observe the situation first.
"You're trying to escape? That's pointless … "
Suddenly, Lin heard a voice in the sky. It sounded like thunder. It was deep, and it rang through the entire world.
"We've taught you everything, so it's fated that you can't escape. Return and continue with your mission … until victory or extinction."
The voice spoke in the language of the Primordial realm. Clearly, the voice … belonged to the transpiration.
Although it was unclear whether the transpiration itself was speaking or if it was something similar to a church, it did not seem strange for it to appear here.
This was mainly because the transpiration had taught the Primordial realm the teleportation technique. As a result, it was impossible for the Primordial realm to escape. The Primordial realm believed they could escape because they had modified the teleportation technique.
However, they still could not escape from the transpiration's control.
Lin found it rather strange. Why had the transpiration appeared so late? Moreover, they had used some wondrous method to darken the entire world of the Primordial realm.
"We won't be controlled by you again!" The Primordial realm replied to the transpiration. The huge disc produced a clear sound, and with it came countless messages.
They flew towards the dark sky once again, but clearly … they did not have an exact target. The Primordial realm did not know where they were, or the entire darkness was their enemy.
This situation seemed to strike fear into the Primordial realm. They attacked faster and faster, but their targets became more and more scattered. The Primordial realm attacked furiously like they wanted to throw messages to every corner of the sky.
This continued until … the other party spoke again.
"I will give you a chance. You still have one last chance." The voice that represented the transpiration was emotionless. "Return to the war and carry out your mission."
"Now … the countdown begins. If you have no intentions of carrying out your mission, we will force you to carry it out."
With that, the darkness in the sky remained, but the Primordial realm expert slowly stopped his attacks.
Were they planning on giving up? That was not the case.
The aircrafts and the crystal discs were constantly shaking their bodies. They emitted a faint light from their surfaces, illuminating the darkness in the sky.
This was … a method of detection. Primordial realm experts were skilled in using light like this for detection. Clearly, they wanted to find where the speaker was hiding and then target it, instead of shooting everywhere like before.
Lin found this very interesting … This was because even at this level, the Primordial realm was unwilling to listen to the transpiration and carry out missions.
The transpiration also needed the Primordial realm to fight, so why did they have to do this?
Thinking about it carefully, the Primordial realm probably felt like Lin's side was only an opponent they had encountered by chance, so they could just ignore them. The transpiration, on the other hand … posed a much greater threat. If this continued, their race would only be able to remain as the transpiration's puppets. As a result … the Primordial realm wanted to break free from this fate completely.
That was probably what the Primordial realm thought. Of course, it was based on what they had learned from other races.
As for the transpiration … Lin still had no idea why they needed the Primordial realm to fight. Did they not actually have any power left?
Right now … the Primordial realm was still searching.
The transpiration did not respond. It said it would count down, but it did not mention how long it would take. It did not count down either. The sky remained dark just like that.
This continued until some time had passed.
"You still don't plan on making a decision? Do you really plan on abandoning us and refusing to carry out this mission? "
Around three hundred seconds later, the transpiration's voice rang out again. However, the Primordial realm did not respond. Instead, it fired off countless messages in a certain direction.
Although the voice seemed to echo through the entire world, if one listened carefully, they would be able to sense …
The voice came from a certain direction.
The Primordial realm was firing off messages in that direction.
This time, there was a response.
Some of the messages in the darkness exploded. The light from the explosions rushed out of the darkness and flickered in the sky.
Did this mean they had actually hit their target?
It seemed like they had hit something, but it was difficult to say whether it was the target or not. After the continuous explosions, the sky was still dark, and the Primordial realm was still … stubbornly firing at the target.
At the same time, crystalline flying machines from all over the world flew over. Their attacks never stopped. Instead, there were more and more of them.
In the end, with the addition of a colossal crystalline disc, there seemed to be an effect.
Something exploded there. The light from the explosion was even more dazzling than all the messages combined. Afterwards, the darkness dispersed like mist.
However …
