Similar to CARS, the main structure of the sacred mountain of Asurmen was also made of crystals. Various crystal clusters, crystal towers, and crystal walls formed the complex internal structure of the ancient spaceship. Unlike conventional starships, many of the cabins in Asurmen were not directly connected. Perhaps some extreme security requirements had been taken into account at the beginning of the design. All the key cabins of the spaceship were completely sealed. Only the gatekeeper could activate the teleportation authority or brute force, which was far beyond the strength of Asurmen's defense, could one enter and exit the spaceship. Under Lady Gloom's lead, Hao Ren entered the cabin where the energy circulation hub was located through the portal.
It was a pyramid-shaped hall, and lavender crystal clusters grew in the four corners of the hall. As soon as Hao Ren entered the place, he saw a wide crack above the hall, which ran through the entire crystal wall of the sacred mountain. Through the crack, he could vaguely see the dim sky outside. Directly below the crack was a white crystal pipe that had been smashed in the middle and was constantly bursting with bright sparks. The ground in front of the pipe was cracked and sunken, and a crystal of a different material from the surrounding environment was lying quietly in the pit.
Perhaps because the crystal had passed through the Wall of Reality, its shape, size, and color had changed greatly. Judging from its appearance, Hao Ren would not be able to tell what it was. But now, two lines of text were floating on the crystal, and Hao Ren's liver trembled.
Eight Hearts and Eight Arrows. Exquisite craftsmanship.
He was 100% sure that the two lines of logo were not on the crystal when it was thrown into the Scarred Nebula. Now, the two lines of text were undoubtedly triggered after the crystal passed through the Wall of Reality. So what was this thing? Was it an identification mark left by the goddess? Or was it an Easter egg left by Raven 12345 after she cut the crystal with a machete? Or was it the obsession of the neurotic goddess with the Eight Hearts and Eight Arrows?
Whatever it was, this time, Hao Ren was 100% sure why Asurmen was in such a state. It was his own doing.
At this moment, cold sweat trickled down from his head to his feet. He had never prayed to his goddess before, but for the first time, he could not help but call out her name in his heart. "Goddess of the Straight, damn you."
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he quickly looked up to see if there were any signs of thunder within a two-meter radius around him. However, he did not find any signs of divine punishment. Instead, he saw a platinum-colored object floating in mid-air at the top of the pyramid hall.
It was a plate-shaped object about one meter square and half an inch thick. Its edges were crooked and uneven, and its surface was flowing with a faint light. Looking at it, Hao Ren could not help but feel a sense of peace.
He even felt that the divine power that had always been calm in his body was faintly resonating. A layer of pale white halo spread out from his body and resonated with the platinum slate in the air. The two powers of the True God seemed to be communicating with each other. "Aiyo, brother, you're floating here?" "Aiyo, where did you come from?" "I am from another world. We have a goddess in charge there. I fell from her body." "What a coincidence. I also have a goddess in charge here, but she was stabbed a while ago …" "Holy sh * t!"
Anyway, that was what Hao Ren had imagined. He did not know what the divine power would say when it greeted him, but it should be something like that.
Lady Gloom wanted to stop Hao Ren the moment she saw him looking up, but then she found that he was fine. She could not help but exclaim, "You … can look directly at the Tablet of Commandments?"
"That is the Tablet of Commandments?" Hao Ren had expected this, but he still asked.
"Yes, it is something left by the goddess of creation herself. But I have never seen a mortal who can not only survive around the Tablet of Commandments but also look directly at it without being affected. The tablet will constantly release the thoughts of the goddess. Except for a non-living being like me, no mortal creature can withstand that kind of information impact."
"When did I say that I am a mortal?" Hao Ren raised his eyebrows. "Can you take down the Tablet of Commandments and let me have a look? Of course, if it is an important component of Asurmen, then forget it. "
Lady Gloom hesitated for a moment before she raised her finger to the sky, and the Tablet of Commandments slowly floated down. "It is not a part of Asurmen. In fact, no one knows why the goddess left this tablet behind. She just placed it here and did not give any subsequent orders. "
Hao Ren approached the tablet curiously and found that there was something on both sides of the tablet. One side was engraved with a very complicated pattern, but he could not see any pattern or meaning. The other side was engraved with only a few lines of text.
"Who am I? Why am I here? What should I do? Am I meaningful? What is around me? Where are their boundaries? Why are they in this state? Do they have any meaning? "
Was this what the goddess had left behind?
Hao Ren frowned and suddenly felt a slight heat coming from his right hand.
He saw the red scar on his right hand that had been corroded by the God's blood appear again, and it gave off a faint glow.
Hao Ren carefully reached out his right hand and pressed the skin that was stained with the divine blood against the platinum tablet.
However, he did not have the massive and messy thoughts that he had expected. He just vaguely felt some messy information drifting through his shallow consciousness. The information told him some inexplicable things, but after carefully sorting them out, he found that they were all irrelevant fragments — some knowledge about the creation of life, some scenes about the early universe. Although these information were useful, it was not proportional to Hao Ren's expectations for the platinum tablet.
It was unlikely that the information stored in the platinum tablet itself was so insignificant. It was more likely that the reading method was wrong, or the tablet itself had some kind of information protection mechanism. Perhaps it needed a higher level of access?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Hao Ren's mind, but it did not take up too much of his time. While checking the condition of the platinum tablet, he observed the Energy Circulation Center that was destroyed by the crystal door and began to think about various repair plans.
According to Lady Gloom, the center had the function of self-repair. After removing the crystal, the facility should be able to recover, but that would take time. He had to find a way to speed up the process.
While thinking about the repair plan, he also had a question. "Lady Gloom, since removing the crystal can restore Asurmen, why didn't the gatekeeper repair it earlier? Didn't you say that non-living things like you will not be affected by the Tablet of Commandments? "
"We can't get close to the crystal," Lady Gloom said, pointing to the Hearts and Arrows lying quietly on the floor. "It has some kind of self-protection mechanism. In the past few months, No.1 and I have discussed many repair plans, but none of them succeeded because of the existence of the 'protection mechanism.' If you hadn't shown your understanding of this fragment, I wouldn't have let you come. As a logical being, we don't like to 'try our luck.' "
Ordinary humans could not get close to the upper area of Asurmen, and the two AIs that could get close to this area could not get close to the crystal. So this was the crux of the problem.
As if to prove that what she said was true, Lady Gloom took a few steps closer to the crystal door. But when she was about a dozen meters away from the crystal, the crystal suddenly lit up, and a powerful repulsive force made Lady Gloom stagger back. A few words of the True God appeared on the barrier.
"Get lost!"
…
The corner of Hao Ren's eye twitched. It was Raven 12345's unique divine spell. This divine spell belonged to the "Domain Protection – Divine Will" series in the Bible given by the Goddess. It was also known as the "Truth Protection" in the countryside.
Apparently, the goddess had left this divine spell to prevent the crystal door from falling into the hands of outsiders and being used for evil purposes. In a way, the neurotic goddess had thought it through.
Hao Ren endured the cramps in his head and began to remove the activated "Get lost" divine spell on the crystal door.
It was not difficult for a pope to remove this divine spell.
While he was channeling his mental power to communicate with the divine spell, he also released the autonomous robots in his dimensional pocket.
The autonomous robots circled around the smashed energy conduit and the base below, scanning the seriously damaged parts with light beams and quickly came to a conclusion.
The failure of the energy circulation center was mainly due to the damage of the transmission medium. The damage to the base below was not as serious as expected. In theory, as long as the crystal door was removed, the interference of the crystal door on the entire circulation system was removed, and the function of the energy conduit could be restored.
Of course, this would not restore the entire system to its best state, but it was not a problem. After all, Asurmen would slowly recover after the emergency treatment, and it would only take a little time for the system to fully recover.
Just as the protective mode of the crystal door was gradually turned off, a sudden vibration came from under their feet.
"What's going on?" Hao Ren turned to look at Lady Gloom.
"The intruders are destroying the barrier of the Final Accord Zone," Lady Gloom reported. "They are close to the Ark of the Sacred Covenant."
"Although I don't think they can open the Ark of the Sacred Covenant with that 'plate' …" Hao Ren frowned. "How long do we have?"
"About ten minutes."
"That's enough."
As soon as Hao Ren's voice trailed off, the protective light on the crystal door disappeared.
He immediately kept the treasure that had caused so much trouble into his dimensional pocket, and then commanded the autonomous robots to connect their long mechanical tentacles to the crystal conduit. The latter had begun to wriggle as if it was alive. As the mechanical tentacles connected, energy began to flow between the conduit, and the recovery speed increased!
"We can activate the will hub now." Hao Ren wiped the non-existent sweat off his forehead and nodded to Lady Gloom. "Let's go meet up with Calaxus first, and then we will go to the Final Accord Zone!"
