Chapter 3375: The Real Test
Nobody knew how to unlock the sealed crimson palace.
There was nothing but dead silence. There were no hints or signs.
Holding Princess Summer’s hand, Theresa spread out carefully with everybody else, exploring the depths of the cave.
She discovered that the cave was made of materials that were neither metal nor wood. They were warm and soft to the touch.
The materials left wrinkles in the cave, which looked like solidified magma. Gloomy ripples were spreading out.
When she was in the Pangu Universe, Theresa had never seen anything like it.
Wait. She had explored the ‘paradise’ with Li Yao before. There was a gray foam that seemed to be similar to the materials that constituted the cave.
Theresa was greatly interested. Pondering for a moment, she extended a finger and pointed at the wall of the cave.
As she expected, the wall of the cave was as elastic as rubber. She poked in slowly.
Right when his entire finger sank into the cave wall, his fingertip suddenly felt a slight sting.
Theresa withdrew her finger and noticed that a drop of blood had leaked out of her fingertip. Some sort of equipment hidden deep inside the cave had collected a drop of her blood.
Then, something unexpected happened.
Centered at the hole that she had just created, a series of beeps echoed deep inside the cave, as if driven by blood. The feeble hums were like the internal organs of a giant beast that had woken up from an abyss that had been sealed for thousands of years.
Colorful brilliance flowed out of the wrinkles that used to be lackluster and blossomed in front of Theresa like brilliant flowers.
The materials that were neither metal nor wood but full of elasticity seemed to be metal that was half solid and half melted. They flowed slowly and condensed into various forms.
Ripples and streaks of brightness constituted the flower. Almost a hundred fibers that looked like the stamen of a flower crawled out of the hole that Theresa made in the middle of the flower. They shivered and spread toward her as if they were living nerves.
Exclamations were echoing nonstop.
From the corner of her eye, Theresa saw that colorful flowers were blossoming around the other explorers, too. The stamens of the flowers enveloped everybody like nerves.

Liquid alloy, mustard machine!
Theresa thought quickly and immediately understood.
The cave, or rather, the entire ‘crimson palace’, was made of extremely tiny, mustard-level intelligent machines in the form of liquid alloys.
Therefore, there was no need for fixed crystal processors, teleportation arrays, weapons, or command systems at all. Whatever equipment was needed, they could be assembled by mustard machines instantly according to the situation at that time.
The thought had just flashed through his mind.
The stamen-like fibers pierced deep into her brain.
Glittering, colorful rivers of light flooded into Theresa’s brain unstoppably from the depths of the crimson palace.
BOOM!
Theresa felt that her soul had experienced a great explosion that reversed time. Then, the world around her collapsed and turned into billions of round waterdrops, which reorganized into a completely different picture in the changing stars.
It was a magnificent palace.
Or rather, the cockpit of a super-large starship.
Countless handsome men and women more than two meters tall were working hard in the cockpit.
Different from the mainframe crystal processors on the starships of the Pangu Universe, there were barely any light beams or input and output equipment on the bridge of the super-large starship.
The human beings were more than two meters tall and almost perfect, but colorful brilliance was beaming out of their bodies. The threads of light formed beautiful tattoos that covered every inch of their skin, as if they were nerves that could be stretched out at their will and inserted into the liquid metal around the cockpit. Through the mustard machines, the crew members and the starships were melded perfectly.
Even Theresa herself had turned into a tall, beautiful, honey-skinned female warrior. Her exposed skin was also tied up by threads of light that could exchange information instantly. Even her hair had turned into glittering, translucent materials that could be extended and extended freely. They could be inserted into the liquid metal and docked to the network of the super-large starship where they could exchange tremendous data.
“This is…”
Theresa was dazed for a moment. She could barely tell who she was.
Thankfully, she had experienced similar tests in the ‘paradise’.
It appeared that the testing technology of the Primeval Civilization was of the same origin. The test of the so-called crimson palace was to activate the genes and memories of their ancestors thousands of years ago inside the body of the demon race so that they could experience the battles that their ancestors once faced, the exile, and the… destruction.
However, she was not a demon. Why were the ancient memories that did not belong to her awakened?
Right. It was Eric, the d*mn ‘shapeshifter’. He ambushed her when she was too weak to do anything after she had just been teleported to a magical world and was still in the middle of a super long-distance space jump. Then, he modified her beyond recognition with shameless, unforgettable methods.
She remembered that ‘Transformer’ Eric had injected a lot of weird stuff into her body. It must’ve been what gave her part of the bloodline of the demon race.
Now was not the time to think about that.
Theresa concentrated her attention and adapted to her new role and mission. She knew that the illusion or memory in front of her must be related to the test of the Crimson Temple.
As she expected, as soon as she figured out the situation, surging information flooded into her brain through the neural network.
The super-large warship seemed to turn transparent in front of her eyes. She could clearly see the situation of the cabins around her and the data related to her position. She could even observe the super-large starship 360 degrees through the billions of floating turrets that accompanied the starship.
The starship should be the flagship of one of the Rogue Fleets of the Primeval Civilization.
It was much larger than ordinary satellites and almost as large as planets.
Compared to the so-called ‘planetary fortresses’ in the Pangu Universe where the planets had been hollowed and refined, this starship seemed to have retrieved the most precious materials of the planets and refined them anew.
At first glance, it looked like an absolutely perfect diamond, but its surface was interconnecting with each other, emitting countless colorful rays of light. The rays of light turned out to be special gravitational fields. Other than controlling the floating turrets nearby, they could also capture the asteroids, meteoroids, and cosmic dust nearby and store them in the crystal reactor of the starship, providing endless fuel for the endless voyages in the universe.
