Lin Yun didn't know how big the smallest Star was, but he knew that the one emitting that kind of light was definitely a Star, and a very big one at that. Even a God's body would look like a pebble next to a Star.
But what kind of power could extinguish a Star?
Lin Yun suddenly felt that many of the things he had read in Heiss City's decaying library couldn't be described, especially the descriptions of the Heaven Rank and the power that surpassed the Heaven Rank. They simply couldn't be used as references.
That kind of power could only be felt, but couldn't be expressed in words.
Lin Yun had been referring to the records in the books, but he suddenly felt that he might have been restricted by the books. He had completely underestimated the power of Heaven Rank powerhouses, and even those that surpassed the Heaven Rank.
The descriptions in the books were always that those under the Heaven Rank were mortals. The gap between mortals and the Heaven Rank was terrifying, and after advancing to the Heaven Rank, the gap between each rank was also terrifying. The higher the rank, the more difficult it was to cross the gap between each rank, as if it was an entire world.
Now, Lin Yun finally understood, because it simply couldn't be expressed in words. Then, how powerful were those God-like mages at the peak of Noscent's development?
Lin Yun suddenly felt that he had greatly underestimated Noscent's power at its peak.
Sitting in front of the Starry Sky Gate, Lin Yun's heart slowly calmed down. Even if there was any danger, he could immediately return through the Starry Sky Gate. And on the other side of the Starry Sky Gate, there was a huge pressure like the deep sea. It might be there to prevent any accidents from happening in the starry sky.
Even if an energy storm wreaked havoc, it wouldn't be able to tear this Starry Sky Gate apart. Even if it poured into the Starry Sky Gate, it wouldn't be able to create any waves on the other side.
Lin Yun closed his eyes and calmly sensed the fluctuations of the starry sky. All kinds of Laws were very clear here, especially the fluctuations of the Spatial Law, they were the easiest to sense. Anyone who entered the boundless starry sky would feel their own insignificance, and they would even feel a kind of heartfelt fear.
Even the terrifying power that could make the starry sky collapse and extinguish a Star was only a small ripple to the entire starry sky.
Lin Yun sat in the starry sky, motionless with his eyes closed. The mana fluctuations on his body slowly weakened before dissipating.
Then, his aura of life slowly weakened until it thoroughly dissipated. It was as if his entire body had merged with the starry sky and was filled with an ancient and all-encompassing aura.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yun suddenly opened his eyes. His expression was calm, and a starry sky could be faintly seen flickering in his pupils.
As for Lin Yun, there were no mana fluctuations on the surface of his body. He looked like an ordinary human that had never studied magic. Even his aura of life had become very weak, weak to the point that Detect Lin Yun's existence couldn't be discovered.
After taking a deep look at the depths of the starry sky, Lin Yun turned and walked into the Starry Sky Gate.
After taking one step, the huge pressure that felt like the depths of the sea appeared once again and pressured Lin Yun's body from all directions.
But Lin Yun didn't use any mana at this time, nor did he raise a shield. It looked as if he was relying on his body alone to resist the pressure of this place.
Reedman was already waiting outside the Starry Sky Gate. He couldn't help sighing in relief when he saw Lin Yun coming out.
"Sir Mafa, you finally returned. If you hadn't returned, I would have gone in to look for you. Hold on, Sir Mafa, where is your mana?"
Reedman looked at Lin Yun with shock. He couldn't sense any mana fluctuations from Lin Yun's body and thought that Lin Yun had encountered some mishap on the ancient starry sky path. But Reedman instantly reacted. Even he would have to raise a shield to resist the pressure here, but Lin Yun didn't raise a shield and didn't show any signs of discomfort.
'Damnit, what's going on? What did that monster encounter on the ancient starry sky path?
Could it be that he was relying on his body to resist the pressure here? 'Even a Heaven Rank Sword Saint would need to use Aura to resist the pressure here. Could it be that he encountered a treasure that strengthened his body to an unfathomable degree?
'No, no, his body doesn't look any different from before, but he isn't raising a shield.
'It's as if the pressure here slid away from his body and wasn't pressing down on him. It's as if he had already blended with this place and became a part of the pressure.
'What the hell is going on …'
Reedman's expression was very marvelous, because even he, a Peak 3rd Rank Heaven powerhouse, needed to use mana to resist here, while Lin Yun wasn't a Heaven Rank powerhouse yet didn't need to use mana to resist.
The most important part was that he couldn't understand it. After returning from the ancient starry sky path, Lin Yun had become unfathomable, he simply couldn't figure it out.
Lin Yun smiled and didn't answer Reedman's question. He only said four words.
"I benefited greatly."
Reedman sighed.
"In fact, I've always been worried that you wouldn't be able to return after entering the ancient starry sky path. Many powerhouses of the Merlin Family got lost after entering the ancient starry sky path.
"That Star River can be said to be the most crucial coordinate and guide, but there are too many dangers in the ancient starry sky path. No one can predict them, and if something unexpected happens, you might not be able to find the Star River, and the Star River might even disappear temporarily.
"After all, a small deviation in the angle in that place could result in a distance of over ten thousand kilometers. Getting lost in the endless void is very normal …"
Lin Yun nodded. Some mages might be unable to understand, but Lin Yun was a Transmigrator and understood it very well. In that starry sky, without complete coordinates, it was simply impossible to find one's target. If one got lost and didn't have the coordinates, even something as big as a sun might not be able to be found.
At the peak of Noscent … No, it wasn't just at the peak of Noscent's development, at any time, as long as powerhouses entered the endless starry sky, most of them would disappear forever, never to return.
And the biggest possibility was that they didn't fall in the starry sky, they were completely lost.
"Could it be that after so many years, no one who got lost came back?"
Lin Yun casually asked. Others might get lost, but the ancient starry sky path controlled by the Merlin Family had a guide, and even that guide couldn't be completely trusted.
Reedman seemed to recall something.
"Indeed, no one who got lost came back. But there was once an ancestor who sent back a message when he got lost. To be more precise, it was a letter.
"But the message was too vague. It looked like coordinates, but it wasn't Noscent's coordinates. We couldn't figure out what was recorded on it."
Lin Yun had only casually asked, but he hadn't expected that there would really be such a thing.
Reedman also seemed to have ignored this news for a long time, he was thinking hard.
"Too much time has passed. We've already forgotten about this letter.
"When this letter was sent back, we specially looked for people proficient in archaeology to research it. The raw materials and craftsmanship of this letter were from the early 3rd Dynasty.
This kind of letter wouldn't be damaged during transmission, and the contents wouldn't change either. However, the raw materials used to make it had been completely extinct during the middle and late stages of the 3rd Dynasty. Furthermore, the craftsmanship was something that only the top forces of the 3rd Dynasty could master.
"At that time, it was used as a substitute for magic scrolls and its effect was only a bit weaker than magic beast hides."
"Magic scrolls of the 3rd Dynasty?"
Lin Yun suddenly asked. Using magic beast hides to write magic scrolls, this kind of thing could only be done by magic scrolls of the 3rd Dynasty in this era and before.
Reedman nodded.
"That's right, this matter is a bit strange. At that time, that ancestor used a piece of paper from the 3rd Dynasty to send back the message and was naturally treated seriously by the family.
The information on it has also been deciphered. However, the deciphered information is the coordinates of a location. After we go there, the things we obtain are of no value.
"Apart from that, there was also a disk mark. It was very complicated and the family found an Artisan to help, but it was only a perfect mark. We couldn't determine what it was, we could only determine that it was a kind of precise alchemy device or some kind of special mark."
Lin Yun 'expression changed.
"Can I take a look at that letter? It should still be preserved, right? "
Reedman shook his head.
"The original letter is stored in the depths of the family. I don't have the qualifications to get the original, but there is a copy here. In order to understand the meaning behind it, the family gave all the Heaven Rank powerhouses a copy."
Reedman took out a smooth crystal, the copy was sealed within the crystal.
Lin Yun took the crystal and looked at the crooked and strange characters written on it, as well as the disk mark below. His expression didn't change, but it felt like a huge wave had been set off in his heart.
Reedpush Plate!
One of the core components of the Shelter Tower!
Lin Yun couldn't forget this, let alone make a mistake. That special structure looked like a disk, but the structure and patterns on it were completely different from ordinary alchemy patterns.
It was completely different from the full right-angle patterns that appeared later on. It was a kind of strange and unique construction method.
Moreover, the patterns on that thing combined into a unique rune, there was no way to mistake it!
Lin Yun held the crystal plate and lowered his head, foolishly looking at the contents of the paper. He couldn't hide the shock in his eyes, it was as if the endless starry sky was crazily flickering in his pupils.
A person of this era used a piece of paper from the 3rd Dynasty to send a very obscure message. On it was the symbol of one of the core components of the Shelter Tower, the Reedpush Plate.
After all, the Reedpush Plate appeared during the peak of Noscent's development.
A piece of paper spanned three eras, was there anything more strange than this?
The crooked characters looked like coordinates, but the Merlin Family had definitely spent a lot of effort to research it and found nothing valuable in that place.
After using the Magic Array to do some calculations, Lin Yun was stunned.
This was indeed a coordinate, but the algorithm and reference used weren't from this era, or it could be said that it wasn't something that had been passed down in this era.
Things like coordinates needed a reference object to locate a certain coordinate, and then use that as a reference to describe the coordinates of another location.
A simple set of coordinates was completely meaningless.
And this crooked character and reference definitely wasn't a calculation method that could be used at this stage.
Lin Yun looked at the crystal plate. It would be very difficult to calculate it in a short time, because he didn't know what kind of calculation method was used to write the coordinates.
"Sir Reedman, can I take this crystal and study it?"
In order to be safe, Lin Yun decided to take the rubbing book and study it. Although he had already memorized the information, he couldn't guarantee that he hadn't overlooked anything.
"Sir Mafa, you can take it."
Reedman casually replied before closing the starry sky ancient path and leading Lin Yun away. He immediately left Lin Yun behind.
'Heavens, I'll go crazy if I stay with that monster for a while. His strength has already reached a level that I can't understand. How did he do it? I can't even feel his aura of life even though he is standing in front of me.
'Monster, he is truly a monster. I didn't have this kind of feeling when that terrifying monster, Santon Merlin, appeared here. After all, that terrifying Santon Merlin was already at the Heaven Rank at the time.
'Even if Santon Merlin's current strength far surpasses mine and I can't sense his strength, I still wouldn't have this kind of feeling. What's going on?
'Forget it, I can't make any guesses about this kind of monster. I'll report it to Sir Balakra.'
Reedman hurriedly left as if he had seen a ghost. He didn't care how Lin Yun left the Ancestral Land.
After Reedman left, Lin Yun impatiently started deciphering the information on the letter.
After over an hour, Lin Yun finally sighed in relief.
He hadn't expected it to be a Red Sun Starry Sky Algorithm from the 3rd Dynasty that used the sun and stars as a three-dimensional reference.
This kind of algorithm had appeared in the 3rd Dynasty. At that time, many alchemists pursuing accuracy liked to use this method.
But because it was too complicated and required a lot of knowledge, it wasn't popularized apart from some first-rate alchemists of that time. No alchemist of the current era could use this kind of algorithm.
Up until the peak of Noscent, when they conquered endless planes, ordinary positioning algorithms could no longer satisfy them. The error rate was relatively high, so this kind of complex spatial and planar positioning algorithm was excavated and popularized once again.
The final result of the calculation was that the location was a certain place in the Odin Kingdom.
After putting away the crystal, Lin Yun's previous plan resurfaced.
It was to build the Shelter Tower ahead of time!
After obtaining the Natural Demiplane and managing it more and more like a real world, Lin Yun temporarily shelved his plan to build the Shelter Tower ahead of time.
Because building the Shelter Tower didn't just require a huge amount of wealth, it also required the Shelter Tower's design.
Lin Yun's current wealth could be said to be comparable to a major force, but it was far from enough to build the Shelter Tower. The most important part was the complete design of the Shelter Tower.
Lin Yun simply didn't have it.
Because in the future, the decaying library in Heiss City didn't have a complete design. There were only some unimportant parts of the design.
Many of the core components simply didn't have a design.
Just like the Reedpush Plate, one of the core components of the Shelter Tower. It was a complete component during the peak of Noscent and wasn't created by the mages of that era. And since they couldn't guarantee that they could recreate it, those craziest mages didn't dare to dismantle the Reedpush Plate to study it.
But now, the location indicated in the letter was most likely the location where the Reedpush Plate was hidden. This made Lin Yun think of building the Shelter Tower ahead of time.
As he became stronger and stronger, his incorporeal premonition also became stronger and stronger.
When he saw the mark of the Reedpush Plate, Lin Yun suddenly felt that the Shelter Tower might be very important.
The information that Noscent would be destroyed in the future was like a sharp sword hanging over his head. He could only watch as that sword slowly fell.
He couldn't be sure if he could reach the Transcendent Realm when Noscent's mana started drying up. He couldn't be so powerful that Noscent's destruction wouldn't have much effect on him. It didn't matter if he was a Magic Apprentice or a powerhouse surpassing the Heaven Rank.
As for the Natural Demiplane, it was developing very smoothly and perfectly. It had great potential to develop into a true world.
But the Natural Demiplane wasn't too reliable. As he came in contact with more and more secrets and clues, Lin Yun felt that even if the Natural Demiplane developed into a true world before Noscent's destruction, it might not necessarily be able to protect him.
More importantly, the Natural Demiplane's development was becoming more and more difficult. Whether it could develop into a true world before Noscent's destruction was something that no one could be sure of, and the possibility wasn't high.
The Shelter Tower might be the most important thing. After returning to this era, Lin Yun came in contact with the matters of the previous eras and faintly felt that when Noscent's mana started drying up, those God-like mages couldn't have not noticed it in advance.
Establishing the Shelter Tower might be the final method to resist Noscent's calamity.
