The reverberating sound of the void of space slowly calmed down.
The metal airship landed on top of the fortress.
— — there was a landing pad here specifically for receiving airships from the outside world.
"What is this location?" Hazeden asked.
Su Cher replied: "I'm not sure either, I have a star chart that shows this as the final location, it's a military fortress"
She stared closely at the screen, her hands quickly issuing commands to check the state of the ship's various components.
Finally, a few lines of evaluation appeared on the screen:
[Overall operation is good]
[Sufficient spare parts, damaged parts are currently undergoing automatic repair]
"Estimated time required for repair: 17 minutes 59 seconds."
Su Cher sighed in relief.
This metal airship was the final bastion to ensure the safety of Gu Qing Shan's body, so nothing must go wrong.
Sha Qiang asked with interest: 「 If this place is a military fortress, we should be able to find a few Technological weapons 」
Guyan coldly asked: "Do you know how to use Technological weapons?"
Sha Qiang froze, then laughed: 「 That's true, I don't have the patience to use such complicated things!
」 Su Cher thought briefly, then nodded: "The Starlight Empire's weapons are quite powerful, I'll try to see if I can contact the fortress"
Hazeden shrugged: "I heard that Technological weapons are the ones that require constant maintenance — — - after over a hundred million years, even if there were any weapons here, they would have already been scrapped"
Su Cher insisted: "We still have to try, just in case there's something we can use, it'll be one more guarantee of our safety"
She turned on her communicator and tried to search for the fortress's signal.
The others exchanged glances with each other, feeling a little surprised.
When Gu Qing Shan was here, this girl didn't even know how to fight and only knew how to follow behind Gu Qing Shan.
But as soon as Gu Qing Shan left, she became this resolute again.
Su Cher's hands quickly operated the screen.
A few moments later.
A faintly discernible signal appeared on the screen.
At the same time, a cold metallic voice resounded:
[This is the final military fortress, please state your identity …]
"I am the successor of the Starlight Empire, my name is Su Cher."
"Su Cher, you are now connected to the Explorer's Mobile Mech. Please raise your hand. The stronghold's control center will verify your identity."
A ray of light appeared on the screen and continuously swept across the entire screen.
Su Cher pressed her hand on it.
The light swept across the underside of her palm.
"Identity confirmed. Su Cher, you are the successor of the Starlight Empire."
"Now, please enter the empire's inheritance key."
Su Cher was stunned.
Empire Inheritance Key?
He had never heard of such a thing.
Back then, the Starlight Empire had split into countless parts.
Perhaps the 9 Lords obtained the 9 Starlight Cloaks, while the other forces obtained the inheritance key.
It was easy to figure it out.
"I don't have the empire's inheritance key." Su Cher shook her head.
「 Without the Empire's Inheritance Key, this war fortress will not be activated 」 the cold voice spoke.
Su Xue Er hurriedly said: "Can we rest here?"
"You are the successor of the Starlight Empire, you are allowed to rest."
Su Cher nodded.
She turned to the others: "Seems like we won't be able to activate this stronghold, and we won't be able to enter — — - but at least we have a place to rest"
Everyone looked out the window.
The top of the stronghold was extremely empty, as if countless large squares had been pieced together.
There were also many steel bunkers on the square.
Many flames were busily moving around inside the bunkers.
They were pixies.
They were circling around a wooden statue, constantly rotating.
No one knew what they were doing.
No outsider had ever been able to understand the pixies' business.
— — -all in all, this place was very convenient for everyone to rest.
「 That's great 」 Sha Qiang excitedly said, 「 this ship of ours looks so big from the outside, but it's so small on the inside, I want to go out and get some fresh air 」
Everyone nodded in agreement.
You don't say, the smell of the evil creatures was truly disgusting.
— — -there were people who liked this smell, but they were still a minority.
However, the evil creatures were also very unhappy staying on the ship.
The flames on Guyan's group and the evil creatures' bodies would easily clash with each other.
Both sides felt uncomfortable.
Su Cher explained: "It's small because most of this place is filled with combat equipment"
She opened the door of the ship.
Everyone quickly got off the ship.
Hazeden turned around and asked: "What about you? Aren't you going to stay here for a bit? "
Su Cher shook her head and replied: "I'll stay here and keep an eye on things"
Hazeden nodded, then turned around and left with his subordinates.
Su Cher closed the door and blankly stared at the screen of light.
It would take a bit more time for the ship to be repaired.
As for keeping an eye on things, the ship's alarm system had always been on.
So, there's nothing to worry about now.
Su Cher stood up and walked into the innermost room of the control room.
Gu Qing Shan was lying here with her eyes closed as if she was asleep.
Su Cher sat down next to Gu Qing Shan.
She stared at Gu Qing Shan as her gaze slowly became gentle.
Silence.
She silently watched over him like this.
…
Gu Qing Shan's soul was slowly making its way through the stone walls.
There was only a single path, and he didn't know where it led to.
The only thing he could do was climb the stairs.
It was only after two hours of walking that the path became a bit wider.
Large clusters of clouds covered the path, making it difficult to see where they were going.
Gu Qing Shan released her inner sight.
Her inner sight couldn't pierce through the clouds.
She couldn't see what was inside the path covered by the clouds.
Looking back, the road they came from was long and far, with no end in sight.
I've already made it this far, I can't just return without accomplishing anything.
Gu Qing Shan sighed, wielded her swords, and leapt into the clouds.
Forward.
Forward without stopping.
Another two hours passed.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan was feeling anxious.
Because I've killed so many of Mara Heavenly King's subordinates, as well as the cultivators from the Huang Quan fragment world, the other party must've been furious.
If the other party decided to gather their forces for revenge, then Su Cher's group would be in danger.
I can only pray that they won't be able to find Su Cher's group.
— — -but Gu Qing Shan had a premonition.
The secret passage is Mara Heavenly King's territory, so even if those cultivators can't find Su Cher's group, Mara Heavenly King would definitely have a way — — – and on the other hand, even if Mara Heavenly King can't find the pixies, those cultivators from the Huang Quan fragment world might have a way to find the pixies.
Regardless, I need to hurry up.
Feeling anxious and anxious, Gu Qing Shan sped up.
A long journey.
Another half an hour later.
Just as Gu Qing Shan was about to lose his cool, the clouds that blocked the path ahead suddenly scattered.
He came out from the clouds!
This happened without any warning, so quickly that Gu Qing Shan quickly held his swords in front of himself to prevent any possible ambushes.
But very quickly, he lowered his swords.
"What exactly … is this place …"
Gu Qing Shan muttered and looked around.
Only to see that he was standing on top of a protruding staircase — — which was also the very last step of the staircase.
There were clouds all around.
The sea of clouds extended from his feet in all directions, extending into the endless distance.
Above the sea of clouds, the void was completely empty. Other than him, Gu Qing Shan, there was nothing else.
Gu Qing Shan looked up.
There was really nothing. Even the wall had disappeared.
Could it be that they were already outside the wall?
But why was there nothing here?
Gu Qing Shan stood on the stairs, deep in thought.
He stomped on the steps under his feet.
Since someone had created such a long staircase, there had to be a motive.
These steps couldn't be meaningless.
Thinking of this, Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath and shouted, "Is — — anyone — — here?"
Is anyone there?
Is there a person?
Is there a person?
Really, really, really —
The echo echoed for a long time before gradually fading away.
There was no response.
Standing on top of the clouds, her Divine Will was no longer restricted, so Gu Qing Shan released her Divine Will to scan her surroundings.
Still nothing.
Gu Qing Shan stood still for a bit.
All of a sudden, the sea of clouds not too far away started to churn, forming a giant vortex.
A gigantic head came out from the vortex.
Then came a pair of arms covered in tattoos.
As the arms pushed against the clouds, half of its body was also revealed.
When half of its body was above the clouds, the entity stopped moving.
It breathed heavily, then looked down at Gu Qing Shan.
It couldn't be helped, its body wasn't small at all, at least a few dozen stories tall.
Gu Qing Shan was also observing it.
A single eye.
A single horn.
A giant mouth.
Half of its body was covered in tattoos, rippling like a storm on its skin.
This seemed to be a giant that she had never seen before.
Why would a giant appear in a place like this?
Weren't all living beings in the secret passage killed by the Mara Heavenly King, leaving only the pixies?
Gu Qing Shan was filled with doubt.
At this point, the single-horned, single-eyed giant spoke with a resounding voice that reverberated through the void of space:
「 Regardless of whether you are an ant or a Divinity, every being that comes to this place has their own Destiny, and I have already prepared your Destiny 」
「 However, according to the order, you will be the second, so you will have to wait with me for the first person to receive their Destiny 」
After saying so, the giant no longer looked at Gu Qing Shan and turned towards another direction.
It had truly begun to wait.
As Gu Qing Shan was about to say something, lines of glowing text quickly appeared on the War God UI:
[You have met the Giant of Beginning, the first Giant to be born from the infinite parallel worlds]
[The Giant of Beginning, immune to all magical attacks, immune to all physical attacks, has the right to travel through the clouds, can be traded, cannot be defeated]
[Attention: You must communicate with it with the utmost caution]
