My head … hurts …
What just happened?
I felt like my brain was a mess. All sorts of things were mixed together, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find the information I was looking for.
This situation lasted for more than ten minutes before I slowly regained control of my thoughts.
Ah! That's right! I remember now! What happened before I fainted — At that time, Shallow Shallow and I were standing at the school gate. A student from a noble school was bullying our classmate. We didn't want to cause any trouble and wanted to leave. What happened after that?
I seemed to have glared at the rich kid who was bullying us, and I had the thought of teaching him a lesson.
And then …
All of a sudden, everything came back to me clearly. The voice of the mysterious' Zenith Long-Range Attack System 'seemed to echo in my head again.
"Shallow Shallow! Run! "I shouted as I sat up abruptly.
"This is … that dream?" I looked around and realized that I was surrounded by the same gray metal buildings that appeared in my dream. Without a doubt, I had returned to this strange place after I lost consciousness.
I rubbed my forehead and looked around. Suddenly, I realized that something was wrong with my surroundings. It was too dark …
So, I raised my head …
The next second, I felt my heart skip a few beats!
The gigantic metal sphere in the sky was so close to the ground that it was almost within reach. The gigantic sphere covered almost half of the sky, as though it was another piece of land that was pressing down on me. I could clearly see the complicated metal structures on its surface. Some of them looked like towers, some were weapon silos, and some were protrusions that looked like communication equipment. Most of them looked like a forest of pitch-black cannons. In between these metal structures, there was a large circular depression that seemed to be some sort of landing platform or energy gathering facility. This frightening metal jungle moved slowly in the sky, silently conveying the fear of its destruction to me, who was directly below it.
What exactly is this thing? Isn't this scene a little too sci-fi?
No matter how much I complained in my heart, I couldn't change the fact that I was about to be flattened by this star-like fortress in the sky. Although it was moving so slowly that I couldn't see any movement, my instincts told me that this huge astral fortress was still descending!
In this dream, my intuition had always been surprisingly accurate. Just like now, I felt that even though this was a dream, the things that happened in this world would definitely affect me in the real world.
What should he do now? Run? What a joke! Do you know how big this metal ball is? I estimate its radius to be over a thousand kilometers! No matter how slow this thing was descending, it was enough to turn me into a pile of dumpling filling before I could escape!
The most important thing now was to calm down, calm down! The metal ball was descending very slowly. It wouldn't crush me for a while. Before that, I had to find a building that I could hide in. The building had to be sturdy enough to withstand the huge fortress in the sky, which was like a small planet …
I might as well run a thousand kilometers to find such a sturdy place!
Wait, I seem to have forgotten something …
By the way, what about the other two metal spheres? There were originally three metallic spheres in the sky, but why was there only one now? Could it be that they were hiding behind this metal sphere that was about to touch the ground?
… At this time, I still had the leisure to think about these things. One celestial fortress was enough to turn me into dumpling filling. Two more would at most make the filling more uniform …
But it was this flash of thought that made my chaotic thoughts clear for a moment. I remembered the voice that rang in my head when the energy pillar appeared at the school gate.
No matter what it was, whether it was a supernatural phenomenon or a superpower, it seemed that I could influence the energy pillar and whatever 'Zenith Attack System' it belonged to. In other words, that 'Zenith Attack System' was most likely activated by me. Now that I looked at it, there must be a connection between this dream world and that 'Zenith Attack System'. In other words, I could actually influence the things in this dream world?
That must be it! After all, this was my dream world. No matter what, it was my territory. My will must be able to influence the things in this dream world!
Although that was what I said, I wasn't sure if I could succeed. At this point, I no longer treated this world as a normal dream. This strange dream had exceeded the boundaries of a normal dream world. It had even risen to the level of a supernatural event. Only the heavens knew if I was dreaming or if I had already been swallowed by some kind of illusion. Or if it was even worse, I might have been struck by lightning and transmigrated. But the possibility of this wasn't high. The author had said that he wouldn't write about transmigration.
I tried my best to calm myself down. I began to concentrate and tried to control the celestial fortress in the sky that was about to bring disaster upon me.
It was difficult because I didn't know where to start. Theoretically speaking, there was no such thing as controlling celestial fortresses in high school curriculum …
All I could do was to repeat the idea of keeping the gigantic sphere away from the ground in my mind.
Dozens of minutes passed. There was no movement at all. In the silent world, only my heavy breathing could be heard. The gigantic fortress in the sky was obviously getting closer to the ground. The metal protrusions that were initially blurry were now clearly discernible.
But just as I was about to give up, a feeling of something being connected suddenly came from the depths of my mind.
That's it!
I was overjoyed. The connection that I had just established was broken due to my emotions.
"Concentrate, concentrate!" I chanted in my mind. I forcefully suppressed the distracting thoughts in my mind and focused all my attention to convey my thoughts as accurately as possible.
After an unknown amount of time, a mechanical voice finally resounded in the depths of my mind. "External command set received … Authorization confirmed … Fuzzy command analysis … Warning. The command you have submitted will change the operational form of the world's arbitration authority. Please confirm that you have sufficient authorization … Confirm again. World No.2's arbitration authority Gaia has changed course …"
Following the mechanical voice, the gigantic sphere in the sky let out a low rumble and began to rise slowly. As the low rumble resounded, the silent world suddenly underwent a drastic change!
The voice that would ring out every time I left this world suddenly resounded in the world. For the first time, it carried a sense of joy. "Found it …"
Then, the monotonous world regained its color!
The deathly gray sky was like a screen that had been lit up. It was swiftly covered in a new layer of tile-blue. It was completely unlike the clean color that this metal world should have. It was even more beautiful than the cleanest sky I had ever seen. The blurry mountain range in the distance was rapidly covered in green from top to bottom. One could feel the intense aura of life from thousands of miles away. Beside me, the cold metal buildings also regained their vitality. Light blue halos appeared on their outer shells. Flashing lights lit up one after another with me at the center. From above, it looked like a blossoming firework. The gigantic fortress-like sphere in the sky changed too. A blue and white torrent of light surged out of nowhere through the metal ravines on its surface. The flashing halos filled this gigantic floating fortress with a mysterious yet majestic beauty.
In a mere ten or so seconds, this deathly silent place transformed into a magical world filled with energy. The beautiful natural scenery and surreal futuristic scenes magically blended together. Such a scene could only be described as magnificent. I stood in a daze in the metal city that had been turned upside down. I almost forgot to breathe.
"This … What exactly is this …" I muttered.
A pleasant but emotionless female voice suddenly sounded beside my ear. "This is the oldest and most powerful civilization in this plane. It is the Xiling Empire that once ruled the universe with their magical technology."
The sudden voice startled me. I subconsciously jumped to the side before turning my head to look at the 'person' beside me.
A light blue, translucent girl was floating there. Her seemingly unfocused eyes turned in my direction.
A ghost? Or a holographic image?
Based on the development of the plot, I think it's the latter …
"Hello." I revealed a strange expression (I hope that the other party could associate this severely distorted expression with a smile). "My name is Chen Jun. Erm … What can I do for you?"
"Hello." The girl in front of me bowed towards me. "I am Gaia, the second machine of the world arbitration. It is a pleasure to meet you, Emperor."
