Yes. After discovering that the so-called 'Divine Palace' was actually a Nuwa warship, Li Yao did not intend to find the Cloud Qin Gold Statues like the locals of the Ancient Sages Sector did.
Li Yao was a specialist of the Colossi. He knew very well that, as a piece of highly-precise, strategic magical equipment, a complete industrial system of magical equipment was required to drive a Colossus in most cases.
An entire team was required to perform maintenance, refill, and equip aggressive magical equipment in advance. Experienced, professionally trained users were also needed.
Not everybody had a weird 'black wing' that served as the medium between the user and the Colossus like him.
Frankly speaking, Li Yao was not targeting the locals of the Ancient Sages Sector. Even if a few Colossi that had been fully charged with spiritual energy were placed in front of them right now, they would not know how to use them at all. They would be nothing more than garbage.
Compared to the Colossi, the bridge of the Nuwa warship was much more valuable.
The mainframe crystal processor of the Nuwa warship must have been installed on the bridge. It was possible that he could find the sailing logs there. Chances were that the communication and teleportation magical equipment that was more advanced than the ones of the Xing Yao Federation and the Imperium of True Human Beings were more advanced.
Even if he were to look for a Colossus, Li Yao believed that there must be short-distance teleportation arrays on the bridge that led to the super large warehouses and maintenance workshops.
Otherwise, the super warship that was more than ten kilometers long would be too inefficient if he were to walk on foot.
Therefore, if he found the bridge, he would be able to control more than half of the warship. He would be able to go anywhere he wanted.
Most of the dead bodies of the Pangu and the Nuwa Clan had exploded into powder before he arrived and lost the value of research.
However, there were a lot of marks left on the walls and the floor, as well as the traces of the cannonballs of spiritual energy. Based on the traces, he could basically analyze the route of the Pangu's attack.
Walking through the high, deep pathways and cabins, Li Yao was surrounded by enormous skeletons and armors that were more than ten meters tall. He felt as if he were walking in a valley of giants.
In the darkness far, far away, screams and noises as feeble as mosquitoes were vaguely echoing.
The Cultivators who snuck into the Nuwa warship through other routes must've started attacking each other in their anxiety when they saw the explosion of the primeval corpses, too.
Li Yao glanced around and understood the reason for the renewed fighting.
The armors and weapons of the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan were much sturdier than the bodies of flesh and blood after all. The dead bodies would perish, but no matter how rusted the armors and weapons were, some pieces would be left behind more or less.
For the locals of the Ancient Sages Sector who worshipped 'primeval treasures' and 'primeval treasures', the magical equipment and marvelous weapons left after they witnessed the dismemberment of the primeval deities with their own eyes did indeed have the power to drive them crazy.
Even if the Cloud Qin Gold Statues had not been discovered yet, the primeval treasures alone were enough to make a river of blood flow.
Li Yao sighed. He had loathed most of the locals of the Ancient Sages Sector before. But right now, when he thought that they were biting each other like ravenous hyenas for a few treasures of the prehistoric civilization, and that they might lose their lives for nothing after decades of hard training, he vaguely felt sorry for them.
Getting to the bottom of it, having grown up in such an environment, what other paths did they have if they did not choose such a path of Cultivation?
Enshrouded in the dark nebula, they were bound to die wherever they went.
Li Yao suddenly had a strong urge to dig a hole in the dark nebula so that the Ancient Sages Sector could at least see a bright future and embark on a brand-new path.
Taking a deep breath, he dashed toward the center of the Nuwa warship in the direction of the Pangu's attack.
Out of his expectation, feeble beeps suddenly echoed next to his ears. A round, bright silver metal ball about one meter in diameter rolled out of the depths of the dark pathway. When it reached him, dozens of green threads popped up on the surface of the ball. After a few cracking noises, the ball was dissected along with the threads and turned into a four-legged metal spider with two turrets on the top of the spider. The muzzles of the turrets where blue electric arcs were spreading out were ready to be fired.
Shua! Shua!
Shua! Dozens of green rays of light darted out of the corners of the pathway at the same time and interweaved around Li Yao, locking onto him like an impenetrable cage.
Li Yao bellowed and was about to shoot out the super tiny crystal bombs in order to buy time to summon the Crystal Suit, when he suddenly saw a lot of illusions. He had been dragged into a Grand Illusionary Land beyond his control.
He seemed to see more than ten naked human girls lying on a dark altar in a gloomy, terrifying temple. The altar was also surrounded by almost ten bizarre-looking Pangu, who were slowly turning the hinges and lowering a giant black rock weighing hundreds of tons from the top of the altar.
It seemed that they were going to crush all the girls and feed their blood and flesh to them.
Below the altar, hundreds of bald, emotionless human beings were kneeling and staring at the altar without moving at all.
No matter how the girls on the altar cried for help, they did not move at all. Even their breathing did not change at all.
Li Yao seemed to be one of the hundreds of human beings kneeling on the ground.
But he was so disgusted and infuriated that he was about to vomit.
He knew that it was just an illusion, but the desperate cries for help of the girls who were as pure as lambs that were about to be crushed by the hideous Pangu still triggered intense physiological reactions in him. His breath, heartbeat, and secretion of adrenaline were all exploding. He could not help but stand up from the hundreds of bald human beings kneeling on the ground and clench his fists at the Pangu priest.
The moment he stood up, the illusions burst out, swirled, and dispersed like thousands of Coloured Glaze butterflies.
He returned to the depths of the dark pathway, but the rays that had locked onto him were gone. Even the four-legged metal spider had constricted into a metal ball and rolled back into the darkness.
"This is …"
Li Yao blinked and suddenly realized that the Grand Illusionary Land just now should be some sort of 'identification between friend and foe'.
The four-legged metal spider and the rays of light shooting out of the pathway should be one of the few pieces of automatic defense magical equipment on the Nuwa warship that had survived to this day.
However, both the Pangu and the Nuwa Clan had tremendous vassals of human beings. Therefore, a set of 'identification between friend and foe' was required for the identification.
The Pangu regarded human beings as pure tools and controlled them with the so-called 'Three Fundamental Laws'. Human beings were not allowed to have any feelings or self-awareness.
When the picture of the Pangu sacrificing human beings as offerings appeared in the Grand Illusionary Land, the human beings or 'demi-humans' who were bound by the 'Three Fundamental Laws' would not have been affected at all.
In that case, the automatic defense magical equipment on the Nuwa warship would certainly have launched the fiercest attacks.
However, when Li Yao saw such a ghastly scene, his physiological parameters changed drastically, indicating that he was in intense feelings. It proved that he was a real human being who had feelings and self-awareness and knew how to protect himself and his own kind.
Therefore, the automatic defense magical equipment on the Nuwa warship identified him as an 'ally' and did not attack.
Wait.
Li Yao thought quickly and chased after the round, four-legged metal spider at full speed.
The spider, however, vanished into thin air after taking two turns. Perhaps it had been stored in a magical equipment warehouse through a certain inconspicuous teleportation array.
However, Li Yao did not come up empty-handed. Judging from the distribution of the pathways just now and the runes on the walls, it was very likely that he had entered the central area of the Nuwa warship.
The bridge or the captain's room should be right in front of him.
It could also be proved by the dead bodies of the members of the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan that were scattered everywhere.
It appeared that the end of the boarding battle hundreds of thousands of years ago was right here. Although the Pangu had gathered a lot of people and bombarded crazily, they still failed to break through the gate leading to the bridge.
It was a great trouble for Li Yao.
There were a total of three magnificent doors in front of him.
Every gate was more than ten meters tall. Vague silver brightness was spreading out on the surface of the gate. The gate was flawless, and there was not the slightest gap to be seen.
Three complicated examination rune arrays had been carved at the places ten meters tall, five meters tall, and one and a half meters tall. They seemed to be used to verify one's identity and open the gate.
Li Yao touched the gate softly and felt that it was slightly soft. There was no telling what the gate was made of.
However, when he poured his spiritual energy into it, it was like a clay ox entering an ocean. He could not feel anything at all. It should be a very advanced energy-absorbing material.
It was useless. Even a large team of Pangu had failed to blow up the few gates leading to the bridge. It was impossible for him to crack them with brute force on his own.
Li Yao turned around and studied the rune arrays and the magical equipment for identity verification.
The shortest piece of identification magical equipment must have been prepared for the human warriors on the Nuwa warship.
When Li Yao tentatively placed one of his fingers on the blue identification magical equipment, a gap suddenly appeared in the middle of the identification magical equipment. A beam of blue mystic rays shot out and soon dispersed into a 3D identification interface.
It was a super complicated identification interface.
Not only did his fingerprints, irises, and voice have to be tested, he also had to enter three dynamic passwords that were changing all the time in only five seconds.
"Is it really necessary to be so dramatic?"
Li Yao was somewhat dumbfounded. He wondered if the access to the bridge on the Nuwa warship was always so complicated. Didn't there always have to be a long queue at the gate of the bridge?
But on second thought, he soon realized that it must be the security measures of the highest level when the warship was under the fierce attack of the Pangu. Under such circumstances, only a few people were allowed to enter the bridge.
Usually, the identification procedures would not be so complicated.
"This is going to be troublesome."
The three silver gates were perfectly integrated. There was not even the slightest gap around the identification magical equipment. They seemed to have been forged in one piece and did not give him a chance to dismantle and study them.
He searched around carefully, but he could not find the legendary ventilation tubes through which he could crawl, either.
Even if there were ventilation tubes, they must have been shut down or hidden fatal traps in the highest security state.
While Li Yao was scratching his head and complaining to himself, his ears suddenly shivered.
