Luo Lin instructed the research vessel to increase its speed, as she was uncertain about the situation regarding the "Key of Dominion" components responsible for the "Anti-Honkai Energy Array" in other locations and needed to investigate personally.
By the time the sun began to set, Luo Lin and her team had finally finished exploring all three peripheral anomaly signal points underwater, and they climbed back onto the research vessel with solemn expressions.
"We found the third one, a golden sword in a precarious state that could shatter with a single touch..."
Whitley shook her wet hair, somewhat helpless, and said, "Could it be that we'll find another dilapidated longsword at the fourth anomaly signal point? Have we exhausted all our luck while locating the Stigma Ruins?"
Luo Lin remained silent. She wasn't worried about finding another dilapidated golden sword at the fourth anomaly point because as a "master of creating Anti-Honkai Energy Array," Senti had already completed the analysis, presenting a map in her mind marked with many lines.
"I never expected that just three swords could set up a framework."
Senti sighed, "It's probably because this 'Anti-Honkai Energy Array' has been maintained since the ancient Shenzhou era until now, spanning thousands of years... To be able to sustain itself for so long with just three swords, and still not shattered, I can only say it's a miracle."
Spiral's playful voice also timely resounded in Luo Lin's mind, "The most important part of this miracle isn't actually these three swords, but the one standing in the center of the Array, and the sacrifices made long ago by Fuxi, Nuwa, and Jixuanyuan. Thanks to them, Chiyou didn't awaken when humanity couldn't handle it."
"Yeah..."
Luo Lin rubbed her cheeks. After checking the three points outside, the sun was almost below the horizon, and continuing would mean exploring deep into the night.
Seeing Whitley and the accompanying Valkyries somewhat out of breath, Luo Lin decided to rest well tonight and take them out again tomorrow.
Coincidentally, she could also borrow something from the Elysian Realm...
Luo Lin squeezed into the bunk of the research vessel's dormitory and quickly closed her eyes.
"Urgent assistance, urgent assistance in the martial world! Vill-V!"
"What urgent assistance?"
The lady with bicolor fluffy hair, Miss with Green snake hair, and Miss Island Exploding Crow looked at Luo Lin with confusion.
Luo Lin spread her hands, "Tomorrow, I'm planning to explore the belly of a Judgment-level Honkai beast from the era of the old Project Ember. Right now, I need equipment that can penetrate the shielding layer inside the Honkai beast for external communication, and powerful explosives..."
"Stop, stop, stop, hold on a moment, little mouse."
Mobius quickly gestured, asking, "Where did you find a Judgment-level Honkai beast!? A Honkai Beast during the era of Project Ember?!"
"A Honkai Beast born in the era of Project Ember. The advanced civilization intended to use residual technology to promote the development of present-day human civilization. As a result of the advanced technology triggering the Honkai Eruption, a Judgment-level Honkai beast emerged, which was jointly sealed by Fuxi, Nuwa, and Jixuanyuan at the cost of their lives..."
Luo Lin briefly introduced the background story, then looked hopefully at Mobius and Vill-V, trying to get their help.
Raven was half-open-mouthed, stunned.
It turns out there's such a big danger hidden underwater? If I buy a villa island, will it be eaten by this Honkai beast in one bite?
Vill-V fell into thought and spoke after a while, "There shouldn't be a problem, but the time you need is a bit tight... Alright, I'll work overtime. Oh, remember to bring a detector too, to study and explore the living Judgment-level Honkai beast, it's... a rare opportunity."
Mobius reminded expressionlessly, "Remember to give me a copy."
"Sure, no problem."
With Vill-V's help, Luo Lin immediately went to find Elysia.
Miss Pink Elf was also shocked by the news brought by Luo Lin, but she quickly realized something and hesitantly drew her longbow, "I don't mind lending you this, but can you really take it away? After all, this is the Elysian Realm, a world composed of memories and data... Hmm!?"
Elysia widened her eyes. In just a blink of an eye, "Whispers of the Past: Sonnet" disappeared from Luo Lin's hand.
A mix of curiosity and grievance covered Miss Pink Elf's face. She circled around the girl, touching Luo Lin's sleeves, collar, and waist several times, checking for any existence...
It's hard to say what Elysia's purpose of this inspecting was, but Luo Lin felt like she had been thoroughly inspected from head to toe, and Elysia used legitimate reasons.
However, Luo Lin didn't take away "Whispers of the Past: Sonnet" after shrinking it because she directly stored the item in the system warehouse.
"Whispers of the Past: Sonnet (Temporary. Lv50 Bow and Arrow)"
"A replica of a super-maxed weapon, can exist for about 3 days. When using Honkai energy with the weapon, the duration of the weapon will be significantly reduced, leading to premature damage."
Elysia summoned her weapon and said, "I thought it would go with you to fight Honkai beasts..."
"No problem, we'll have to fight Honkai whenever it is. I'll find another opportunity to beat up Honkai beasts with you." Luo Lin promised nonchalantly.
"Really?"
"As true as gold."
Soon, Luo Lin embarked on her final "expedition" in the "Elysian Realm" today.
With a heavy expression, the girl pushed open the door of the maintenance station next to the Elysian Realm reception hall, took a deep breath, and prepared to face Book of Fuxi's head hammer attack, or whatever else...
Unexpectedly, she didn't know where Book of Fuxi found a small spherical floating device and lied on it sound asleep. If it weren't for the wire still connected to the back of its neck, Luo Lin would have thought the little ancestor was slacking off.
In fact, Book of Fuxi did slack off. It directly gave the operation authority of the machine to Klein, letting her call the shots...
This is actually similar to giving away all your savings and various passwords at home to others. If others want, they can make you unable to survive in minutes.
Fortunately, Klein is a kind-hearted person... an ELF. She specifically allocated a small amount of soulium reserve from the "Elysian Realm" arsenal to make a mount for Book of Fuxi, and also prepared many massage service vouchers...
Then, when everything was on track, Luo Lin came back and said she wanted to borrow Book of Fuxi for a few days.
"What did you say!? You're planning to stroll around inside Chiyou's belly!?" Book of Fuxi shouted loudly, "Are you crazy?! It's perfectly sealed over there..."
"I'm certainly not crazy, because it seems like the seal is about to collapse."
Luo Lin showed the "golden sword full of cracks" she had photographed to the little ancestor, then looked into Book of Fuxi's lively eyes.
The ELF remained silent for two seconds, then unplugged the data cable plugged into its back.
"Let's go, and see what's going on."
