Why did Laplace feel it?
Because she also sensed the ripple of consciousness, which was heavy and slow, as if a knell was tolling.
The knell was tolling for Doom.
It was as if the entire world was playing a dirge for Doom.
Angor was surprised to hear Laplace's explanation. "So … there's such a secret."
"Is it really the sorrow of the world?" Angor waited until the sorrow in the air dissipated. "Is it really the sorrow of the world?"
Laplace shook her head. "I don't know. It's just a guess."
"You said Sunawo carried a powerful energy with him when he returned to the White Sun Mirror Domain. Something beyond the legendary level. So, it's the power of miracles, isn't it?"
If a miraculous existence had truly fallen, then perhaps it would make sense for the world to mourn for it.
But Laplace shook her head again. "I can't describe it, but I know it has nothing to do with miracles. It's more like … "
Laplace considered for a long time. "A kind of blooming."
"Blooming?"
Laplace nodded. "Life forms come in different forms. Some remain unknown, some are buried in the soil, some climb up high branches, and some walk alone in the cold and blossom.
"At that time, Morna Wu gave me the feeling that his life had entered a different state, like a blooming flower."
"But the blooming time is shorter than the Night Epiphyllum."
The Night Epiphyllum had one night of blooming, while Doom only bloomed for a few minutes.
But because of the short blooming time, the Night Epiphyllum blossomed into a dazzling beauty.
Laplace looked at Angor again. She noticed that Angor was still looking at her with a confused look. It seemed he didn't understand what she meant by "blooming".
Laplace was surprised, but she quickly understood.
She was right. Angor didn't see the blooming flower with his own eyes, so it was hard for him to understand its beauty.
Thinking of this, Laplace said softly, "If I come to the last day of my life, perhaps I will also release all my energy like it did."
Blooming before death? Angor heard Laplace's words and realized something.
But when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember anything.
He considered for a moment and decided not to think about it.
Since Laplace confirmed that it was not the power of miracles, Lucien could only treat it as a kind of life energy that played a curtain call before it withered away.
"So this is Mornawo's scale?" Angor asked as he raised the scale in his hand. Through it, I can enter the Demiplane that Mornawo turned into after his death? "
Laplace shook his head. "No."
"That half-plane is a secret place of the Hundred Dragon Divine Nation. It's impossible for it to be opened to the public. This scale is probably just contaminated with Doom Crow's energy aura, so it can go to a special space that is also contaminated with this aura. "
Because Mona Crow was a cave dragon that had the ability to control space, the scales that were tainted by its aura naturally possessed the properties of space.
With a little refinement, it could be used as a key to the space.
"Isn't it a half-plane?" He was looking forward to seeing what a demiplane looked like. He wanted to see if it was similar to the Tidal Realm.
He didn't try to hide it, and Laplace noticed his disappointment.
She nodded. "For the mirror dragons of the Hundred Dragon Divine Nation, Doom Crow's half-plane is the core of their invincible power. However, from what I know, the Hundred Dragon Divine Nation and the Demiplane have already fused together. They can be considered as one. "
"Fused together?"
Laplace nodded. "It's similar to the affiliated planes in your wizarding world. You just need to find the way to enter the plane, and you can go to the corresponding world.
"Similarly, the half-plane has also fused with the Hundred Dragon Divine Nation. You just need to find the door to the half-plane and enter it.
"But it doesn't matter even if you can't. Since the Hundred Dragon Divine Nation and the half-plane are already one, if you have a chance to go to the Hundred Dragon Divine Nation in the future, you'll be going to the half-plane. "
Angor didn't know what to say. So this is the world's version of Lady Wan?
I just breathed the air you breathed, and we're hugging?
Laplace didn't know what was going on in Angor's mind. But judging from Angor's expression, it wasn't something good.
"Alright, let's not think about it. If we can use the recorder to stop the Woe Puppet's disaster, I'm sure the Ten Thousand Year Dragon will agree to all your requests. If you want to go to the half-plane, I'm sure you can. "
Laplace stopped talking and stood up. "Let's go. We need to leave the Silver Forest Space first. Don't use Doom Crow's scale here. "
The Silver Forest Space was sealed. If Doom Crow's scale was used here, there were only two possible outcomes.
Either the scale failed to be activated, and the energy inside the space would become chaotic.
Either the activation of the scale had caused a tear in the space of the silver forest to appear.
Either way, it wouldn't be a good thing.
Angor nodded and followed Laplace out of the Silver Forest Space without asking any more questions.
They came out from the 50th floor of the fortress again.
Compared to before, the 50th floor was even more deserted. There were at least a few patrolling guards before. But now, there was no one around. The air was so quiet that Angor could even hear his own heartbeat and breathing.
The blue, gloomy air combined with the gloomy atmosphere made Angor feel like he had entered a terrifying place.
Laplace put away the silver forest spatial gate and said, "When I came back, there were two guards here. According to them, everyone went above the 101st floor in order to maintain the security of the circular fort. "
After all, rumors were spreading everywhere in the outside world, and the entire Crystal Castle was in a state of panic.
In such a situation, it was very likely that someone would break something.
Therefore, even though there were fewer tourists on the upper level, the security was strengthened a lot. It was all to maintain peace and order.
"Do you want to check the upper floors?" Laplace looked at Angor.
Angor shook his head. "Nah, let's go to the embryo factory first."
Angor was afraid that he would feel more guilty if he saw too much fear. After all, whether the recorder worked or not, a large number of lives would be lost in the end.
Laplace nodded. "Let's go."
Angor opened his hand and handed Doom Crow's scale to Laplace.
Although the dragon scales could be activated with magic power, it would be more appropriate to use polymerized energy to avoid any unexpected situations.
Laplace did not say anything. He took the dragon scale and activated it with polymerization energy.
In the next second, the dragon scale floated in midair. The space in front of the scale seemed to have been burned by something scorching, creating a hole in it.
Through the hole, Angor could see a passage filled with ores.
The hole grew bigger and bigger until it was big enough to accommodate two people. Only then did it slowly stop.
From the beginning to the end, the hole burned in space did not produce any spatial ripples. This meant that the space of the ring-shaped castle was very stable. It also meant that Morna Wu's spatial network was very sturdy.
"Let's go."
Without feeling any sense of weightlessness, Laplace and Angor took a step forward and arrived at the tunnel full of minerals.
Ahead of them was a dark tunnel.
Looking back, he could still see the circular castle outside the cave.
The spatial hole was like a special wormhole that connected the ring-shaped fortress and the Tool Embryo Factory.
Until …
Laplace withdrew the floating scale, and the distorted wormhole slowly disappeared.
"This is the space node of the embryo factory." Laplace pointed at their current location. "When we leave, we need to activate the scale here."
Laplace handed the scale back to Angor.
Angor nodded and put away the scale.
Looking around, this place seemed to be a mining cave. However, they had reached the end of the cave. Behind them was a stone wall, while in front of them was a long and narrow passage.
There were still a lot of ores on the ground.
They were mostly metal and crystal ores that emitted Convergence Energy ripples.
They were supernatural ores, but their energy levels were relatively low.
They didn't linger and followed the long passage outside. The passage was dark, but they could see glowing ores embedded in the walls every few dozen meters. These ores were like guiding lights that guided them all the way to the entrance of the cave.
"From the previous mine to the entrance of the cave, I walked about 300 steps."
That wasn't too far.
From afar, they could see that the entrance of the cave was covered in mist, which made it difficult to see.
The visibility was not much higher than that of the cave.
Sure enough, when they walked out of the cave, they found that there was indeed a thick white fog outside. In addition, the clouds in the sky seemed to be very thick, and not much light could be seen, causing the whole world to be dark.
It was like a transparent mirror covered in a thin layer of dust.
Despite the thick mist, they could still see their surroundings.
The ground was a small path made of black soil, which seemed to have been trodden by people often. The path was much flatter than the surroundings.
There were dense trees on both sides of the path.
"Is this a forest?"
Laplace shook his head. "Take a closer look."
Angor hesitated for a moment and released a spirit feeler from his forehead. When he used his spirit vision to check the surroundings, the mist disappeared, leaving only the outlines of objects.
When he locked onto a "tree" several dozen meters away, his spirit vision instantly zoomed in.
"Wait, is that a crystallized tree?" Angor finally saw the shapes of the trees around him. They were trees, but they were different from what he expected.
They were "trees" made of crystals.
When covered by the mist, they looked like ordinary trees. Only when the mist was removed could they see the true nature of crystals.
Crystallized trees weren't real trees. They grew slowly from underground crystals and eventually broke out of the ground, turning into wooden stakes covered with branches.
They looked like trees, which was why they were called Crystallized Trees. But in fact, they were just crystals that broke out of the ground.
"Crystallized trees mean there's a crystal mine down there." Angor looked around and was shocked when he saw all the crystal trees in the mist.
There were so many of them that they formed a "forest". This meant that there was a thick layer of crystal mines under the ground.
Crystal mines were rich.
Some of them could even be used to create crystal shells.
If such a vast crystal vein was calculated in terms of Condensed Crystals, it would be at least a hundred million Condensed Crystals.
"I heard from Gleipnir that the raw materials for the Artifact Embryo Factory are crystals. I think it's the crystal mines under the ground, "Laplace said in a small voice.
Angor was still in a daze. "I did mention several materials on the blueprint. Crystal ores are one of them."
"But I thought they'd choose Demon Blood Ores. Demon Blood Ores are easier to find, and low-level ones can be synthesized by people at a cheaper price. "
"I didn't think they'd choose the more expensive crystal ores," Laplace said as he walked along the path.
Laplace walked along the path and said, "This is actually normal. After all, this embryo factory was built by the Crystal Kingdom."
"The Crystal Kingdom doesn't lack crystal ores, so it's reasonable to use them here."
"As far as I know, there are at least a hundred such factories in operation. Thousands more are waiting. They'll start working as soon as the replicated molds are delivered. "
"As for the embryo factories led by the other races, the raw materials used are probably their own specialties."
In other words, this factory was the only one in the entire Sun Mirror Domain that used crystal ores to make their embryos.
Angor felt a little relieved after hearing this.
The Sun Mirror Domain had a huge shortage of loggers. If all the loggers were made from crystal ores, it would be really shocking.
They didn't fly or use energy to move forward. Instead, they used their legs to measure the mist-shrouded world.
There were crystal trees on both sides of the path for several miles, and they couldn't see the end of them.
Angor felt numb just looking at such a terrifying amount of crystal ores.
He underestimated the Crystaleye Race again.
After visiting the Rare Treasures Museum, Angor thought he already had a better understanding of the Crystaleye Race. But now, he realized that his knowledge was only a drop in the ocean.
After visiting the embryo factory, Angor realized that he still didn't know enough about the Crystaleye Race.
But then again, it made sense.
The Crystaleye Race was a civilization with billions of living beings. What they showed to the outside world was definitely only one side. There was a deeper side hidden under the ice.
In the face of life and death, the Crystaleye Race had to share their resources.
Such a huge crystal mine was probably only one of the secrets of the Crystaleye Race.
Angor couldn't help but sigh. He also had a deeper thought.
The Crystaleye Race was at most a mid-tier race in the Sun Mirror Domain. They were still a long way away from the overlord races.
If the Crystaleye Race had such a strong foundation, what about the other races?
They must be even more terrifying!
