Sometimes, I really felt that Shallow Shallow's mouth was magical beyond measure. Many things that seemed to be in line with the scientific concept of development could be filtered through Shallow Shallow's logic and processed by her brain. By the time she said it, even its own mother wouldn't be able to recognize it. Just like I said before, no one could tell how Shallow Shallow's brain could distort the reality of our world before it popped out of her mouth. Anyway, the moment she said it, the big sister instantly lost her composure. The corner of her eye twitched as she knocked on Shallow Shallow's head. As for Alaya, the angel sister wasn't there. She was still strolling on the slope of the Angel's Wall.
Alleria paused for a moment. The light on her body flickered. I felt that the current Shallow Shallow was a far cry from the Lady Vanna in her memory. She took a few seconds to react. She flapped her wings and said, "It's him. When Lord Alaya left this world, he used the Sky Tower as a transit point. Odemsius is the designer of the Sky Tower's core defense system. He knows the core secret of the Sky Tower. And now, he's about to wake up … "
The projection in the center of the hall changed, showing a rugged and desolate mountain range with snow-covered mountains in the background. "This is the northern part of the continent, closer to the Northern Borderlands. According to the information I've gathered, most of the Northern Borderlands residents here believe in an ancient soul they call the 'Storm Giant'. This ancient soul was the first to respond to the Empire's orders. His recovery speed is faster than the others. According to the vague information that the 'Storm Giant' sent back, it could be an incarnation of Odemsius. This way, Odemsius is the first Mystic-type commander to wake up. This is good news. With the help of him and the Sky Tower's system, the commanders will wake up in large numbers in the next few days. Our work will be completed soon. "
Of course, we didn't know any of the commanders of the old Empire's 15th Celestial Zone. But from Alleria's description, this Imperial Army officer who sounded like he walked out of ancient Greece was a capable member of the 15th Celestial Zone's mystical side. Not only was he a high-ranking officer, but he was also a brilliant researcher and polymath. I also remembered that the Sky Tower's system designer had Alaya's name on it. Odemsius was also in charge of designing the Sky Tower's defensive components. In other words, he and Alleria were the assistants of the angel sister back then. This was strange. The two assistants looked more capable than the other. How could they follow an idiot who tripped while walking on flat ground?
"Please don't underestimate Lady Alaya's power," Alleria said softly but firmly when she heard me mumble. "Although she has a strange personality, her power is the strongest among all the angels, at least in the 15th Celestial Zone. She also has extremely profound knowledge of Holy Light and magic. She just can't use the information now. As the information between the two Celestial Zones becomes available, you will soon know that Lady Alaya is indispensable to you …"
"I know, I know," I waved my hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Alleria was indeed a good person, but it was a pity that she was too rigid, even more so than Tawil. At least Tawil was quite humane outside of scientific research (of course, we also have to admit that Tawil's time outside of 'scientific research' was basically negligible). Alleria, on the other hand, was always in a serious state, as if she had never learned how to write the word 'joke'. "I have never looked down on Alaya. She even gave birth to a child for me …"
Everyone quietened down. Lin Xue began to twist my neck. "Blockhead, are you trying to kill me with that mouth of yours?"
I hurriedly pulled the little Seiko out of my spirit sea. "I'm talking about this! I'm talking about this! "
Alleria's attention was on the pure white little girl who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Her body was glowing non-stop. She seemed to have a great interest in the little girl. "A semi-mature energy lifeform? She has Lady Alaya's aura, but doesn't fit the life structure of any Shiring Apostles. Interesting, she is your and Lady Alaya's child … "
"Ahem, actually, it's like this." I quickly explained the origin of the little Seiko. This child came out too rarely. Alleria didn't even know that there was such a 'Princess of the Empire'. Even Vanilla, Sangina, and Sona had almost forgotten that they knew such a child. Sometimes, I was worried that this girl would grow hair if she didn't come out to bask in the sun …
Little Seiko rarely came out because she was very afraid of strangers. After seeing the beautiful glowing sister in front of her, the little girl immediately exclaimed in surprise. She scuttled behind me and tightly grabbed onto the hem of my clothes. She only poked her little head out to look in Alleria's direction. Her only big, beautiful eye was filled with curiosity. "Daddy, did mommy fall into the noodle vat?"
Lin Xue was watching the commotion. She almost fell to the ground when she heard that. She looked at me as if she was about to die. "Blockhead, as expected of your child. I'm afraid that Xiaoxue's future transformation is due to at least a third of your genes, right?"
Chen Xiaoxue, the king of brats, immediately shouted, "You have to bring me up no matter what! You have to bring me up no matter what! What kind of mother are you?! "
Alleria looked at the little Seiko, then at the adults around us. She seemed to want to sigh, but before she could speak, a beam of holy light suddenly appeared nearby and interrupted her. Alaya's figure rushed out of the beam of holy light, holding something in his arms. He looked like he was in a hurry. "Quick! Alleria! Come and see, I found this! What is this? "
"Master Alaya," Alleria immediately rushed over. "This is … the Rebirth Core? Where did you find it?! "
It was only then that I could clearly see what Araya was holding. It was a spindle-shaped ball of light the length of an adult's forearm, emitting a soft white light. Araya was holding it carefully in his arms, as if he was holding a baby. I noticed that there seemed to be something inside the ball of light. It seemed to be moving continuously, but no matter how I looked at it, I couldn't see its true form. I could only feel some kind of pulse coming from the ball of light. It was weak, but tenacious, as if a life was breathing.
"At the end of the ramp, near a suspended tower. I don't know what's going on, but I felt something calling out to me. I opened a crystal door, and when I came back to my senses, I was holding this thing in my arms … It seems to be getting dimmer!"
"This is the Angel Core! But the Angel Wall hasn't been activated yet … "Alleria gently waved her right hand and summoned something that looked like a control panel in the air. As she spoke, she quickly operated on the panel. A few seconds later, we heard a low roar coming from all directions, as if some large equipment was being activated. The ground beneath our feet began to tremble slightly." Forget it, we have to transfer it to the incubation crystal immediately … Let me see … Great, there's enough energy. One of the crystal lattices can be used immediately, but it hasn't been used for tens of thousands of years. Let's hope there aren't any hidden dangers … Everyone, follow me! "
Before we could react, Alleria had completed a series of dazzling maneuvers. Then, a teleportation door that was several meters tall appeared behind everyone. She took the lead and flew into it. Alaya followed closely behind her, followed by the confused crowd.
After the teleportation, we arrived at a strange and dazzling interior space. My intuition told me that we hadn't left the Platinum Tower yet. Each cube was about ten meters long, wide, and high. The distance between each cube was also ten meters. These structures were arranged so neatly that there was no end in sight. The ground was drawn with blue crystal powder, and arcane light flowed along these broad lines into the surrounding crystal cubes. The cube nearest to us was already open, and the crystal wall facing us was surging like water. Alleria and Alaya walked into the cube, and the two of them carefully placed the cocoon-like white light into the oval container in the center of the crystal cube. The container looked a bit like a hibernation pod, but it was very different from the high-tech hibernation pods I had seen before. In fact, it had been a long time since I had seen a hibernation pod other than a coffin-shaped one. Alaya walked into the cube with Alleria's guidance. The two of them carefully placed the cocoon-like white light in the oval container in the center of the crystal cube. The container looked a bit like a hibernation pod, but it was very different from the high-tech hibernation pods I had seen before. In fact, it had been a long time since I had seen a hibernation pod other than a coffin.
We were a bunch of complete amateurs, and we were still in a confused state. Naturally, we didn't dare to cause trouble and could only wait outside the cube. However, as the entire crystal cube was transparent, we could clearly see the movements of the two people inside. After Alaya placed the light cocoon into the 'hibernation pod', he stood by the side, seemingly unsure of what to do next. Alleria, on the other hand, was busy adjusting a few rune arrays floating outside the hibernation pod. It seemed that she was manually setting some parameters. Even though we couldn't see her expression, we could tell that she was nervous based on the flickering brightness of her body.
Alleria was right. Everything here was old. Although many things made by the Xiling Empire could function normally after tens of thousands of years, the passage of time would still reduce their performance. The crystal cube in front of us was obviously affected by this. It looked like a very intricate object, and the passage of time would be fatal to such intricate devices. Alleria kept adjusting the control panel outside the hibernation pod, but the light in the hibernation pod was still dimming rapidly.
At this moment, a small figure suddenly ran into the crystal cube while no one was paying attention. It turned into a white light and entered the hibernation pod. While everyone was stunned, the white light slipped out of the hibernation pod again. It turned out to be little Xijing, who had been hiding behind the adults. The little girl bounced back and smiled at me. "Daddy, hug! I'm sleepy! "
I bent down to carry the tiny girl, who was less than a meter tall, in my arms. Mercury Lamp bent down and pulled her special little sister's hair. "Wow, you look a lot darker. The ends of your hair are transparent!"
I also noticed that a portion of Little Seiko's power had disappeared. She looked extremely sleepy after running out of the crystal cube and the light on her body was flickering. I was a little worried at first, but very quickly, she used our soul connection to replenish her power. Then, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. This ability to sleep in seconds was definitely from Araya.
"The situation has stabilized," Alleria's voice temporarily drew my attention away from Xijing's muddle-headed and adorable sleeping face. She had left the crystal cube, and behind her, the walls of the cube had solidified again. The hibernation pod inside was emitting a stable and balanced white light. Alleria looked at the little girl in my arms curiously. "Did this child replenish the energy of the Newborn Core? How did she do it? Without matching equipment, how could she replenish the energy of a depleted core? "
"I've been wanting to ask this for a long time. What is that?" I waved my hand and pointed at the hibernation pod not far away.
"That is the core of the Newborn Angel. I mentioned before that the Angel's Wall will create such cores. After catalyzing them, they can grow into Schilling Angels. Lord Araya and I were born this way," Alleria said faintly, but there was a hint of happiness in her voice. "I don't know what's going on. Why is there a Newborn Core on the Angel's Wall? It has stopped operating long ago. Plus, the entire Angel City was dismantled and stored in the assembly hall. It can't have operated before."
"Then, it could have been left behind seventy thousand years ago." The elder sister looked in the direction of the hibernation pod with a thoughtful expression. "Maybe it was formed before the mother planet split, but in the rush, it was forgotten … in the embryo."
Alleria's wings trembled slightly, and she said softly, "It's also possible. It was so dangerous. This child almost died. It's unbelievable that a newborn core could hold on for so long. "
Only then did I understand something. I gently lifted the sleeping Little Xijing in my arms. "This child has an ability called Soul Parasite. She is a soul, but she can also parasitize other souls. She can absorb the target's life force and information to grow. Now, it seems that she can reverse the process. She must have gone to charge the core."
I didn't say the second half of what I wanted to say. After she had charged the others, she came to me to charge.
Alleria's attention was on me. Even though I couldn't see her expression, I felt the hairs on my back from being stared at. Finally, just as I couldn't help but ask, Alleria spoke, "You and your daughter are very good at charging people."
I was speechless. Did she remember that I had overcharged her and turned her into an incandescent light bulb for a night?
At that moment, Shallow Shallow seemed to have remembered something. She pointed at the hibernation pod in front of her with a surprised expression. "So, angels are oviparous?"
Everyone was speechless. What was this girl thinking about in the past few minutes?!
Let alone us, even Alleria, who had always been calm, was dumbfounded. She probably hadn't seen anyone in her life who could combine the things that happened around her so randomly. She folded her wings and distanced herself from Shallow Shallow. "This … Angels are energy creatures. Also, like all Shiring Apostles, we have several ways of being born. The core creation method is just more widely used because it's more efficient."
"Alright, don't bother explaining." I patted Alleria's wings. "If you continue to explain, who knows how many versions of the story she'll come up with. So be it. We have one here that was born with soil cultivation." As I said that, my eyes fell on Jingle. She looked up sharply. "Ah Jun? What? "
Everyone stayed outside the crystal cube (Alleria called it the incubation lattice) for a while, quietly watching the hibernation pod that was gradually enveloped in white light inside the cube. Sis wore a warm smile on her face, and even Alaya was beaming. Perhaps the unexpected appearance of the angel core was a good sign. The first newborn life since the revival of the mother planet was sleeping quietly in front of us.
"Is it okay to just leave it here?" Sis looked at the hibernation pod in the incubation lattice and looked around. The incubation lattice in front of us was the only one in an active state. Apart from it, the other crystal cubes around us were shrouded in a dim feeling. The entire space looked a little lifeless. "It feels … very lonely."
"The new core needs time to grow, and the Angel's Wall won't be able to resume production in a short time." Alleria placed her hand on the wall of the crystal lattice and 'looked' at the hibernation pod inside in a daze. "I will leave a consciousness body to take care of this child."
I looked at Alleria in surprise. I didn't expect her to make such an emotional decision even though she always looked like a businesswoman.
The unexpected discovery of the newborn core from ancient times in the City of Angels was just a small interlude. We stayed next to the incubation lattice for a while and realized that there was nothing we could do to help. So, we returned to the upper level of the Platinum Tower, leaving only the consciousness body that Alleria had split to take care of the newborn.
The next day, we received a report from Alleria that she had found the response signal of the first revived Empire commander, Odemsius. As expected, the officer appeared in the northernmost part of the continent. But perhaps because he had just awakened, he was still a little confused, so he requested to stay in place for half a day for maintenance.
Since I was extremely bored in the City of Angels, I decided to bring Qian Qian, Lin Xue, and Alleria along with me to take a look. I left everyone else behind in the Kingdom of Giant Dragons. However, something unexpected happened when I was about to depart. Sona and Sayana suddenly appeared and volunteered to come with us.
"We are going to look for someone," Sona said.
Sona said.
