"Sky Corridor?! How did it become like this? "
Milia muttered to herself in disbelief as she stared at the holographic projection in the air. Beside her, Sandora and I were equally shocked.
"Sky Corridor?" After a few seconds, I called out to get Milia's attention. "Are you sure? This is the Sky Corridor in your world? "
"Of course, I would never mistake it for someone else!" Milia nodded. She seemed to have realized that the broken ring-shaped structure in front of her was not the one in her hometown. "The Sky Corridor is the most mystical Holy Ruin. It has been hanging in the sky of Mobrador since the beginning of human civilization. It shines on the entire world together with the sun and the moon. It is also one of the most complete Holy Ruins in Mobrador. It has always been in operation, protecting us against enemies from deep space. Is this … Is this another Sky Corridor? "
Milia looked at me and Sandora passionately. After knowing that we were the 'Saints' of her world that had disappeared for a long time, this girl had already regarded Sandora and I, the rulers of the Empire, as her idols. Since the Holy Ruins in Mobrador were the property of the Xiling Empire, the Sky Corridor was no exception. This was her judgment.
"If you insist on calling the ring of stars the Sky Corridor, then this is indeed it." I suppressed the excitement in my heart and exchanged glances with Sandora. "Also, it is a pair of the ring of stars in your world. This is called the Inner Ring."
"Amazing …" Milia's eyes seemed to be twinkling with stars. "There is more than one Sky Corridor! As expected of the 'Saints'. You are much more amazing than I had imagined! Even the most knowledgeable scholar would not dare to imagine such a thing. They always thought that the Sky Corridor was the most mysterious and powerful Holy Ruin created by the Saints … Hey, Lord Chen Jun … "
"Didn't I tell you? You don't have to call me Lord," I quickly interrupted her.
Milia almost bit her tongue. In the end, she nodded, not used to it. "Ah, Chen … Brother, why is the Sky Corridor like this? It looks … so pathetic. "
In Mobrador, the Sky Corridor had always been regarded as a mysterious miracle that stood at the pinnacle of the world. For an interstellar civilization that had yet to enter deep space, it was likely that no one could imagine that there existed something more advanced than the Sky Corridor. No one would even dare to imagine what the Sky Corridor would look like when it was mass-produced. Miriya probably hadn't seen Pandora's recruitment ads or the Empire's war documentaries that she occasionally saw in the City of Shadows, so her understanding of the Xiling Empire's power was still on the surface of this advanced city. Who knew what kind of expression she would have when she saw the planetary battleships or even the celestial system's fleet.
As for the other party's question, Sandora answered before I could, "Because it was destroyed."
"Destroyed?" Miriya didn't know how to react. She was tongue-tied. "Destroyed? Sky Corridor? The Sky Corridor can actually be destroyed? "
"Do you think it will never fall?"
"I …" Miriya was at a loss for words when faced with Sandora's curious question. "I don't know. The people of Mobrador have this common knowledge. The Sky Corridor will never fall. Various churches and academies also say the same. Those scholars and monks say that the Sky Corridor will exist forever and will protect the world even when the end of the world comes. They use all kinds of theories to prove this point … Are you kidding me? The Sky Corridor will never fall. This should be the truth of the world! "
The golden-haired girl spoke anxiously. It was a fact that the Sage had personally admitted, but she did not dare to believe it. It was as if the faith and belief she had been carrying out all this while was about to crumble.
"I don't know how high the status of the Star Ring is in your world," Sandora said calmly. "But nothing in the world is indestructible. Even the world itself is just a weak system that will collapse if the key rules are removed. The Star Ring is indeed a very strong creation of the rules. But when it exists in the world in a way that can be sensed, it is destined to be destroyed. Well, of course, considering the level of civilization in Mobrador, what you said is not wrong. At the very least, in the knowledge of a civilization in a star system, there is nothing in the universe that can destroy the Star Ring. Its definite structure can resist the temperature of the star's core and the tearing in the horizon of a black hole. It can even resist the annihilation process of giant stars. Only the power that comes from the origin or second only to the origin can destroy the Star Ring, such as psionic energy. But that is beyond the understanding of ordinary civilizations. "
Sandora's explanation must have sounded like the Bible to Miriya because I didn't understand it either.
"So that's how it is. Because of the limitations of our knowledge, we think that the Star Ring will never fall," Miriya said after a moment of silence. She looked very depressed. Sandora's answer seemed to have a bigger impact on her than she had expected.
… Alright, she actually understood it!
Miriya must have been out for a stroll when she bumped into us. I didn't expect her to bring us such a huge piece of information. After that, Miriya asked us a bunch of questions about Starlink with great passion. She even mentioned the Sage's departure. "Why did you leave?" This was the question she asked us the most. Unfortunately, our understanding of the same question was too different. Even Sandora didn't know how some of the things Miriya mentioned were related to Schilling's creations. To put it simply, between Miriya and Sandora, Miriya didn't understand what Sandora said, and Sandora didn't understand what Miriya said. I, on the other hand, selectively didn't understand what both of them said. After a heated discussion, Sandora was a little helpless, Miriya was a little confused, and I, a mortal with low IQ, was beaten to a pulp.
In the end, Shadora and I confidently told Miriya that we might be able to find her homeland very soon, but the prerequisite was that we had to wait for the empire's technicians to fix the star ring. Thanks to Veska's' Twin Sense 'back then, we might have already found a shortcut to enter Mobrador.
After sending Miriya off, I immediately contacted Tawil to confirm the progress of the Star Ring's assembly. We weren't sure how much the inner Star Ring needed to be repaired before it could form a Twin Sense with the outer Star Ring again. Tawil was very excited that Sandora and I had personally urged him to do this. He immediately said that he would not rest or rest, and he would force his workers to work at full speed to weld the Star Ring together. Obviously, scientists were easily excited. After that, we immediately went to find Visca.
At this time, Visca was at home doing something that was very beneficial to his health. He was comparing his height with Little Bubble, and he was giggling foolishly while Pandora silently looked at him with disdain. The innocent Little Bubble didn't understand what her two sisters were doing. She just grabbed the lollipop Visca had given her and smiled happily. She followed Visca's instructions and stood up straight, using her 1.1-meter height to provide a steady stream of spiritual comfort to Visca.
I had to admit that when I saw this scene, I felt heartfelt sympathy for the 1.2-meter sisters of my family.
As expected, the only thing left was to find a sense of superiority in front of the most gullible girls at home.
The sudden appearance of 'big brother' made Visca panic and a little awkward. Little Bubble, however, didn't care. She transformed into a white light and pounced on me, followed by a series of gibberish in Little Bubble's language. She was probably talking about the game earlier. To her, playing with anyone at home was something to be happy about.
"Girl, stop hiding. Let me tell you something." As I untied Little Bubble from my neck, I beckoned for Visca, who was planning to use Earth Escape, to come over. "We found the other Star Ring."
Visca immediately jumped up in surprise. "Huh? Star Ring? "
"…"
Girl, go and apologize to Tarver and his research team, who have been racking their brains for me!
I knocked Weska's head lightly and told her about the Sky Corridor. She blinked and said, "In other words, my star ring is in the Mobrador world?"
"We haven't scanned Mobrador's coordinates yet. We don't know how long it will take. We plan to use the Twin Sense of the two Star Rings to locate it." I rubbed Visca's head while Pandora listened attentively. She was very concerned about her sister. "The Star Ring has been assembled. Tawil is trying to activate its function. I just want to ask you, what are the conditions for the Twin Sense of the Star Ring?"
Visca lowered her head and her body beeped a few times. Then, she told me a bunch of data and terms. I thought for a while and felt that I didn't understand …
"Alright, alright. Go and tell Tawil. We need to restore the Twin Sense of the Star Ring as soon as possible. We need to confirm the status of the other Star Ring as soon as possible. That thing isn't something ordinary races can play around with. "
Visca agreed and ran to the side to upload the data to Tawil. Pandora looked at me blankly. After a while, she asked, "Brother, are we going on an expedition?"
"Why are you suddenly thinking about war?" I looked at this short winter melon who only thought about war and growing taller. I couldn't understand her thought process.
"A low-level civilization that stole the Empire's property must be punished." Pandora summarized the crimes of Mobrador in a concise manner. I immediately slapped my forehead and said, "As I expected … But it makes sense. Schilling weapons aren't safe. We can't let ordinary civilizations research them. However, we have to go and see the situation first. I feel that no matter how special an ordinary civilization is, they shouldn't be able to use the Empire's equipment like the Shiring Apostles. As for war, you've fought many wars in the past two years!?"
I rubbed Pandora's head hard to punish her, but the girl leaned against me comfortably. However, I was thinking about something else. Just like what I said earlier, no matter how special an ordinary civilization is, the chances of them mastering Schilling technology during their normal evolution were almost zero. Miriya's spiritual mutation ability was trained, but who was the creator of this training method?
The creation of a new technology required the accumulation of basic theories. To rely on spiritual mutation to control Schilling equipment, the creator of this technology must at least know what the soul of the Shiring Apostles was like. However, according to the few times I chatted with Miriya, the information she revealed showed that Mobrador did not have mature soul technology. Their understanding of the human soul was still at the shallow "wave-field-energy turbulence" stage. The highest understanding of the soul in the entire world was only at this level. How could they create a training method that simulated the soul of the Shiring Apostles?
Miriya appeared to be familiar with many of the Schilling facilities in the City of Shadows, or at least heard of them. She was also familiar with some of the most common Empire equipment, such as the Information Terminal. However, her knowledge of these things was at a level where she didn't know why. She claimed to be a clergyman in Mobrador. In that world, she was one of the most knowledgeable people. It seemed that everyone in Mobrador was only at this level. So, half of their knowledge actually fell from the sky?
These messy speculations were slowly accumulated over the past two days of contact with Miriya. They would probably be bothering me for a while before I found the world of Mobrador. But later that day, there was good news.
Tawil received Visca's more targeted data on the theory of the Star Ring. He compared it with the fragments of the Star Ring that we had collected and found that, in terms of structural integrity, the current Inner Star Ring already had the conditions to produce the Twin Resonance. As long as the main structure was activated once according to a certain pattern, it would be "in perfect shape". Tawil confidently said that it would take two to three days at most.
So, today, I began to prepare the personnel for this operation.
Due to the strangeness of the situation and the fact that it involved the Relic of the Empire that was still in operation, Sandora and I had to go personally. Shallow Shallow, on the other hand, wanted to join in the fun. Pandora and Visca also wanted to tag along. They felt that there might be a fight if they went out. Surprisingly, Big Sis also volunteered to tag along. Aside from the few major events, she usually stayed at home to take care of the little ones.
"It's boring staying at home all the time. It's fun to go out with my brother."
Big Sis said.
Moreover, considering that reconnecting the ruins back online would require a huge amount of information to process, and the Bubble would have to come along, it seemed that we would have to turn out in full force.
In the afternoon, when I heard that so many people wanted to join in the fun, I thought that it would be another lively and troublesome trip with too many people. In the end, when Lin Xue came over at night, she brought with her a piece of explosive news. I suddenly realized that there would be even more people going this time.
"Blockhead, prepare your fleet and servant army." The moment Miss Lin entered the room, she plopped down on the sofa without even taking a sip of water. She raised a card in her hand and said loudly, "There's a war!"
At that moment, I felt a wave of heat coming from my back. Pandora and Visca's bodies were beeping together.
Big Sis and I looked at each other. I saw surprise in Big Sis' eyes.
"A war? With the natives of Mobrador? " I took the card in Lin Xue's hand, which had strange symbols written on it. I realized that there were abstract drawings of gears and swords drawn on it. "Because we are going to touch 'their' Holy Ruins?"
"It's not Mobrador." Lin Xue shook her head. "The war is after that. It's a very powerful enemy, but it's not the Fallen Apostle. Prepare your fleet. The enemy has a power that is comparable to ours."
Lin Xue took a sip of water to let us digest the news. Then, she continued, "The specific situation is still very vague, but I saw many planets burning. Mobrador was just the beginning. The flames of war quickly spread to the deeper layers of space. In the prophecy, a large number of branches have appeared at the same time, and the probability of all the branches appearing is almost the same. I suspect that there is a key point that will determine the future that is in an unstable state. Its constant activity has caused the things in my eyes to be blurred. "
It wasn't the first time that Lin Xue had suddenly rushed over to give us a warning. I had always suspected that she was monitoring everyone's future almost every second without resting. Even though I would sometimes tease her that she was a voyeur in the higher dimension, and even though Lin Xue had never admitted it herself, there was no doubt that she had put in so much effort. I had never taken her warnings lightly.
The possibility of a war with an unknown enemy confirmed what Lin Xue had mentioned when she was prophesying about the source of the supernatural incidents. Her intuition that supernatural phenomena could eventually be the fuse for a war had been confirmed. As things progressed, what was originally just a 'possibility' had become a definite fact.
"Should we bring the fleet over?"
Sandora no longer had that lazy expression on her face. Instead, she asked with a serious expression. Her current state was that of a queen consulting her chief royal advisor.
"No, we can't let the fleet show up directly. That will cause the future to go out of control, and we will lose the time to react." Lin Xue shook her head resolutely. "The enemy was triggered by a certain event. Before that event happens, we have to slowly gather the fleet while concealing ourselves …"
We listened attentively to Lin Xue's hint. Due to the uncertainty of the future, there was a limit to what she could say when she described the contents of the prophecy. This meant that we had to pay attention to it. Noticing everyone's serious gazes, Lin Xue nodded solemnly. "That's all."
Everyone was speechless.
This lass was definitely doing this on purpose!
I resisted the urge to land a karate chop on Lin Xue's head. This was because I knew that I wouldn't be able to defeat her in terms of physical combat. My fists wouldn't even be able to defeat Icetis. Then, I waved the cards in my hand. "Speaking of which, lass Lin, I've seen you playing around with these cards for the past two days. What are you doing with them?"
I had wanted to ask this for a long time. The special cards that appeared in Lin Xue's hand these past two days weren't for poker cards, tarot cards, or even Ultraman collection cards. Could it be that this half-deity was planning to walk the path of a prop and carry a huge stack of sticks to Er Li Bridge to get her fortune read?
"This?" Lin Xue took out more cards and formed a deck with the one in my hand. "I haven't named it yet, but it's definitely more useful than tarot cards. This is a prophecy card that contains the power of prophets!"
