The two leaders are so intimidating. Even though I am observing them through the light beam, I still have a bad feeling about them. It must be noted that I am already an expert in the Divinity Branching Stage with the blessings of the Supreme Emperor. Yet, I am still highly wary of them. Is it possible that the two leaders are even stronger than the Divinity Branching Stage?
Li Yao guessed to himself. The two leaders are obviously intelligent. It is definitely not a coincidence that they are attacking the 'tower of empyreans' at the same time. Are they planning to go to the 'tower of empyreans' for the 'ultimate test' of the creator of the black wall?
Li Yao was greatly alarmed.
Both the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan had very little chance of passing the test. If they failed the test, they would only be leading their own civilization and the civilization of mankind to destruction.
While he was pondering, Li Yao suddenly sensed that a few familiar shadows were moving in a corner. He observed them carefully and almost shrieked. Who else could they be if they were not Ding Ling Dong, Li Linghai, Long Yangjun, Boss Bai, or A Boxing Champion?
After a few days of fighting and exploration, the ultimate experts of the exploration team of mankind finally gathered.
Led by Ding Ling Dong, Long Yangjun, A Boxing Champion, Yan Liren, and other super experts, the dozens of invincible Colossi were the most powerful torrent of iron when gathered. They could still crash head-on even when faced with the ferocious beast tide.
Besides, most of the ferocious beasts had been gathered below the tower. The pressure in other places was greatly reduced. Ding Ling Dong and Long Yangjun were finally safe and sound. They were approaching the tower slowly, too.
They must've noticed the beast tide and the importance of the tower, too. They knew that it was the core of the entire City of Silver and even the primeval relic.
Li Yao discovered Li Linghai's Colossus among the many Colossi.
"Right!"
Li Yao thought to himself, "Li Linghai still has a 'key' in his hands. According to the files of the Pangu civilization, there are more than two such keys. In other words, many people are qualified to take the test. They have even started the test!"
Therefore, it was not a question of whether or not Li Yao was willing to take the risk.
He had no choice.
He could not watch the leaders of the Pangu Clan or the Nuwa Clan take the test, nor could he watch Li Linghai, Ding Ling Dong, Long Yangjun, and the rest of them step into the unpredictable test without doing anything. If he had to face the challenge of the creator of the black wall and perform the 'ultimate test', he would certainly be the first one to crack the puzzle of the primeval age and protect his civilization!
"I, Vulture Li Yao, accept the challenge on behalf of the Xing Yao Federation and the civilization of mankind!"
Li Yao clenched his fists. Invisible diamonds seemed to have been shattered inside his palms, and scorching smoke was popping up from his fingers.
In order to pass the test, the Colossus had to be repaired and strengthened first.
Although the Supreme Emperor had said that combat ability was not the key to pass the test, it was still an indispensable foundation. Without enough combat ability, he would not have been able to pass even the simplest test, the tide of ferocious beasts.
Li Yao glanced at the three Colossi around him one by one.
His own Colossus, "Arsonist", was already on the brink of exhaustion. Its reaction armor had all been blown away, the fuel and ammunition tubes had been twisted, and the metal fatigue of the critical parts had exceeded the limits. Even the slightest touch from a ferocious beast might cause the joints to explode. Even the simplest maneuver and acceleration in a short range could lead to the most dreadful midair disintegration. Without the assistance of an entire team of refiners, even Li Yao, a magical equipment specialist, could not have revived it.
It had carried out its destiny dutifully and delivered Li Yao to the Supreme Emperor. Right now, it was kneeling on the ground in silence like a cold and tragic statue. Only part of the units and the weapon system could be dismantled as backup components and strengthening packages.
Then, it was the Blood God's Colossus, "Apocalypse".
The Colossus was acquired by the Supreme Emperor after the battle in the Empyreal Terminus Sector and brought to the primeval relics by the Supreme Emperor. However, the mysterious forces hidden deep inside the crystal processor of the Colossus almost corrupted the Supreme Emperor's mind and made him split into a new dark personality, which was a second Blood God.
It was the Colossus with the highest attack ability in the sea of stars, the most dangerous, and the most likely to backfire on its master.
Perhaps, it was exactly because of the fear that the Colossus would backfire on its user that the Supreme Emperor dissected it into pieces. The core crystal processor and the spiritual residence were blown apart without the slightest possibility of reassembly. Just like "Arsonist", they could only serve as components for maintenance and strengthening.
Finally, it was the "Gold Sun", the legendary "national artifact" of the Star Ocean Imperium and the super Colossus that represented infinite brilliance and brightness!
Looking at the "Gold Sun" that was sitting on the equipment stand majestically, surrounded by the air of the emperor, Li Yao's heart was beating like a drum, and his temples were bouncing crazily. He felt as dry and overwhelmed as when he saw "Draconic Phoenix" for the first time.
"Can I really use it … the Gold Sun?"
Li Yao swallowed hard. He felt that his throat was smoking.
Little Black, who was much bigger than before and was even chubbier and more adorable, flapped its wings and flew around above his head, encouraging him and triggering all his courage and strength.
"Yes. From Earth to the Heaven's Origin Sector, from the Xing Yao Federation to the Imperium of True Human Beings, and from the Imperium to this place, a certain power seems to be guiding me in the depths of the primeval relics."
Li Yao thought to himself, "I am the 'right man'. This is my destiny. This is … my Colossus. Nothing can stop me from creating new miracles with it!"
Gold runes flashed inside Li Yao's eyes again.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Shua! Shua! The detailed structural designs of "Gold Sun", "Doomsday Catastrophe", and "Arsonist", as well as the mental maps of hundreds of thousands of possible modifications, popped up inside his head. Thousands of complicated 3D pictures, billions of data, and formulas were swirling and colliding quickly.
"Divinity Branching Stage, secret technique, and calculation method of schizophrenia, activate!"
With the technique that he had just received from the Supreme Emperor's legacy, Li Yao divided his entire sea of consciousness into a hundred equal parts, which seemed to be the swirls of a hundred thoughts. He divided the content that required deduction and calculation into a hundred parts, imported them one by one, and calculated them at the same time.
Strands of golden light appeared on his face and rushed to his temples. It was as if two golden eyes had grown on both sides of his temples at the same time.
In the meantime, Li Yao's "Telepathy" and "Remote Manipulation" techniques were activated to the maximum. With Little Black's help, all the platforms in the workshop were turned on. Even countless maintenance puppets that were hibernating were activated, too, and dazzling pieces of maintenance magical equipment were ejected from their bodies.
Li Yao took a deep, deep breath. The gold stripes inside his eyes congregated into interconnecting gold lines, outlining the image of a brand-new Colossus.
He extended his hand and pressed the chest of "Gold Sun". Gold brilliance flowed out of his palm and enshrouded "Gold Sun" gently and carefully. Zi! Zi! Zi!
"Zi, zi, zi, zi, zi!"
Zi! Zi! Zi! Subtle noises echoed from the gaps of the armor of "Gold Sun". The arc-shaped armor and shields were dismantled one after another, revealing the crystal wires that were as dense and smooth as veins and nerves, as well as the precise, flawless units inside.
The remains of "Apocalypse" and "Arsonist" had long been dismantled into the tiniest components by the invisible hand that Li Yao condensed with remote manipulation techniques.
"Hu, hu, hu, hu!"
Hu! Hu! A few furnaces were rumbling. Enhanced by Li Yao's flames of spiritual energy, the furiously burning flames were immediately raised to tens of thousands of degrees. The components of "Apocalypse" and "Arsonist" were sent into the furnaces and processed into unbelievable shapes. Then, they congregated into overwhelming torrents of red and black that blew at "Gold Sun".
For a moment, the gold brilliance inside Li Yao's eyes and temples, as well as the gold brilliance that enshrouded "Gold Sun", exploded at the same time.
It was almost as if Li Yao's soul had directly invaded the mainframe crystal processor of "Gold Sun" and bellowed inside "Gold Sun"'s chest.
"Gold Sun" no longer looked like a cold war machine. Instead, it was more like a living ferocious beast or even a deity that had arrived from the four-dimensional universe. Instead of being modified and maintained, it was ejecting all the crystal threads and "swallowing" the components of "Apocalypse" and "Arsonist". Those components were not embedded or attached but naturally "grew" on the skeleton of "Gold Sun".
"This is —"
Even Lu Qingchen was deeply shocked and astounded.
With "Fuxi's database", he was naturally adept at the maintenance, modification, and strengthening of countless Colossi, but he had never seen such an unbelievable modification technology before. The hardest alloys had truly been turned into thin, soft, and sensitive veins, nerves, and muscle fibers under the purification of Li Yao's soul. The Colossus that was modified in such a way could not only perfectly combine the three Colossi of "Gold Sun", "Apocalypse", and "Arsonist", but it also boasted the senses of a living creature and was a perfect match for Li Yao's soul. It was like an enlarged version of his body.
"What a … monster!"
There was no telling whether Lu Qingchen was talking about Li Yao or the Colossus that Li Yao had modified.
