"Wow …"
When everybody walked in through the open gate, even the most ignorant, insensitive bandits of the Land of Sins who had no idea what 'Cultivators' meant and had been temporarily dragged there to make up the numbers were deeply awed by the magnificence, profundity, and magnificence of the 'temple'. They even had the urge to melt into it.
The 'control center of the global sword network' was truly like a certain religious building. It was built in a mysterious and bewildering style.
Around the place were enormous metal pillars that rose to the sky like the ribs of a behemoth. They interweaved at an altitude of hundreds of meters and supported a splendid space.
At the center of the intersection of the metal pillars was a hollow that seemed to be leading to the ground. Chaotic glimmers were vaguely flashing in the hollow, as if one could see the sky above through the hollow.
On the bronze walls around, countless mysterious and unrestrained rune arrays had been carved, symbolizing the Cultivators' indestructible will and determination to resist to the end.
Large, half-fixed turrets, like super-enormous puppets that had crawled out of the ground, stood around in silence and looked at the crowd who had broken into the place.
When Zuo Jingyun, Han Te, Coloured Glaze, A Boxing Champion, and the rest of them swarmed over, quite a few teams of earthly dragons had arrived in advance.
Under Wei Longtao's command, the resistance warriors operated nervously and activated all the crystal processors in the control center as quickly as possible, trying to restore and control the full power of the 'global sword network'!
Hum … Hum … Hum … Hum …
As the crystal processors were activated one after another, and the keys and passwords that Wei Longtao had searched for after decades of trouble were inputted, weird tremors were echoing inside and outside the entire 'temple'.
Colorful brilliance popped up on the rune arrays. Starry spots of light blossomed from the brilliance and flew to the midair like glittering dandelions, congregating into operation interfaces and architectural designs at the bottom level. When all the interfaces and architectural designs were gathered together, everybody could see with their own eyes how the entire control center functioned.
"This … This is unbelievable!"
Zuo Jingyun and the other resistance fighters had never seen such a magical scene before.
The multicolored light flashed in his eyes like hundreds of transparent butterflies dancing, turning the bronze underground palace into a crystal palace.
The unreachable dream had turned into such a beautiful reality. Hot tears couldn't help but flow out of his eyes again.
"A Boxing Champion!"
Xiahou Wuxin strode over from the center of the sacred hall with his disciple Xin Xiaoqi and laughed. "You're finally here!"
"City Lord Xiahou?"
A Boxing Champion said calmly, "I didn't expect you guys to be one step ahead of me."
"Yes, we met Commander Wei on the way. We were the first to enter the Holy Sanctum."
Xiahou Wuxin lowered his voice and said, "We saw with our own eyes that Commander Wei explored the place step by step and tested it one step after another. Finally, the mainframe crystal processor was successfully activated. There shouldn't be any problem now!"
A Boxing Champion was silent for a moment before he said, "I hope so!"
While they were talking, the hundreds of light beams floating in the sky of the magnificent temple were all shattered into thousands of unpredictable spots of light. Inside every spot of light seemed to be a tiny face. No, not one, but more than ten different faces.
Then, the tiny spots of light all flew to the top of the mainframe crystal processor at the center of the temple, congregating into an enormous ball of light almost thirty meters in diameter. After a series of dazzling changes of light and shadow, it finally turned into an enormous gold head!
"What — what is this?"
All the resistance fighters were shocked. Lost for words, they looked at the gold head that was rotating slowly in midair, deep in thought with its eyes closed.
"This is the 'Cultivator who has been lost for a thousand years'!"
Wei Longtao, the general commander of the underground branch of Starlight, strode forward. His every step was shocking.
He seemed to have never changed his clothes after he escaped from the hunting of the Immortal Cultivators a few days ago. Intense bloodstains were still staining his body, and his robe was ragged. But his eyes, which were the size of eggs, were still beaming with inextinguishable, scorching brilliance.
He glanced at everybody slowly and stopped at Zuo Jingyun for the longest time. It was not until then that he declared resolutely, "I have finally figured out what the so-called 'Cultivator who has been lost for a thousand years' is. It is not a specific Cultivator or a living person, but an artificial intelligence that is used to manipulate the 'global sword network'. Or rather, it is the entire operation platform and the database of the 'global sword network'!"
"Ah …"
The resistance fighters did not see it coming at all. They all exclaimed in shock.
"However, this is not a regular artificial intelligence or a database," Wei Longtao said solemnly.
Wei Longtao said solemnly, "When the Martial Meritocrats civilization was about to perish, some of our pioneers and Cultivators hid themselves in this temple. However, the 'global sword network' was still half paralyzed at that time. Besides, it was still impossible to compete with the overwhelming fleet of the Immortal Cultivators with such a system.
"Therefore, they chose to hibernate and pass on their knowledge.
"They transformed their understanding of the path of the Cultivators, their memories of the Martial Meritocrats civilization, their expectations for the successors a thousand years later, and their ineffaceable determination of resistance into data and transmitted it to the database. Then, they completely sealed the place and scattered to every corner of the Land of Sins with part of the clues about the 'temple', continuing to fight in the darkest and most desperate years after 'Judgment Day'!
"Today, after a thousand years, the descendants of the Cultivators in the past have finally returned to the 'temple' of our ancestors. We have finally found the secret treasures of our ancestors. We have finally grasped the real path of the Cultivators and the spirit of the Cultivators. Finally, we can teach the high and mighty Immortal Cultivators a profound lesson!"
The more Wei Longtao talked, the more excited he became. In the end, the entire temple was filled with his thunderous voice. His voice was like a soul-stirring drum that hit the soul of every resistance warrior brutally!
"For thousands of years, the blood of the sacrifices has congregated into a surging river. Today, the river of blood is finally about to roar. It's time for our counterattack!"
In midair above Wei Longtao's head, the enormous golden head slowly opened its eyes and shot out two dazzling rays of mystic light. Hundreds of light beams immediately popped up around it, displaying the status of all the secret bases of the "global sword network" in every part of the Land of Sins.
About two thirds of the secret bases deeply buried below the ground had been destroyed by the penetrators in 'Judgment Day'.
However, "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky" that they were going to deal with was not a starship that was moving at a high speed but an enormous target that was fixed outside of the atmosphere in the synchronous orbit and almost stationary.
With the remaining one third of the secret bases, the mission could still be accomplished successfully.
Right now, the mainframe crystal processor in the "temple" was connecting and waking up all the secret bases that were distributed everywhere on the Martial Meritocrats Sector quickly through the communication nodes deeply buried below the ground. On the light beams, the secret bases changed from dark gray, which represented "hibernation", to bright gold, which represented "activation".
All the resistance warriors felt that their hearts were in their mouths.
Han Te and the Coloured Glaze could clearly hear Zuo Jingyun clenching her metal fists so hard that they were squeaking.
"The Immortal Cultivators are here!"
A resistance warrior who had been on alert at the periphery rushed in and shouted, panting, "The noises of the enormous penetrators are echoing everywhere. The Immortal Cultivators are attacking on a large scale this time. It is estimated that they will drill through the rocks and break into this place in ten minutes!"
All the resistance warriors jumped to their feet and grabbed their sabers, swords, and guns.
"Ten minutes?"
The brilliance in Wei Longtao's eyes was almost turning into frozen flames. Wiping his bloodstained beard, he burst into laughter. "Too slow. Too slow! At this moment, nothing can stop us from roaring at the sky! The target of the first wave of firepower is' Manjusaka, the City in the Sky '. Get ready! "
The gold head in midair was revolving faster and faster. Hundreds of light beams and astronomical information streams popped up around like a flood breaking out of a dam. The light beams and the information streams were flashing at a speed beyond the limits of the recognition of human eyes. In the end, they turned into a hazy mist of light.
Zuo Jingyun and the other resistance warriors watched in confusion, having no idea how Wei Longtao was operating at all. They could only tell from the interface of the final output that he had completely controlled more than a hundred and twenty secret bases and activated the most powerful anti-air magical equipment in those bases!
Nobody doubted what Wei Longtao was doing.
It was because Wei Longtao was an omnipotent god who was creating miracles every second in their hearts!
On the forehead of the gold head, an enormous number popped up: 10!
Judging from the feedback of the light beams around, the anti-air magical equipment that had been sealed for a thousand years in the one hundred and twenty-four secret bases had all completed the self-examination and preparation to be activated. 70% of the magical equipment was still intact and boasted the ability to blow up the sky!
The enormous number jumped from 10 to 9!
Deafening noises were echoing from the rocks around the temple. There was also a warehouse of the largest attack magical equipment here. The behemoth that had slept for a thousand years had long been woken up and was roaring for the last time before the attack.
8！
Cold sweat was popping out of the palms of all the resistance warriors. Many of them could not help but hold each other's hands so hard that the cracking sounds of their finger bones could be heard.
7！
"Come on. Come on. Shoot down 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky'!"
All the resistance warriors prayed in silence with all their hot blood, soul, and even life.
6！ 5！ 4！ 3！ 2！ 1！
From the surveillance picture, it could be seen that enormous gaps were appearing on the desolate, barren land everywhere in the Land of Sins simultaneously. Clusters of colorful mist were popping up from the gaps, like mysterious fountains that appeared out of nowhere.
