"Master, do you see anything unusual on the cave wall?" The question was filled with curiosity, akin to that of a curious baby.
With a hint of intrigue, Liu Yong responded, "Confidently observe the cave wall. Are there any new discoveries?"
Bawang gracefully swam to the forefront of the cave wall, utilizing its extraordinary perceptiveness to discern the subtle variations in texture and colour.
Meanwhile, Liu Yong possessed a unique third-party vision that allowed him to perceive even the darkest depths of the seabed as if it were daylight.
Moments ago, Liu Yong had stumbled upon an abnormality on the cave wall. To be precise, the wall appeared to be layered with distinct boundaries. Some layers were pitch black, while others were dark grey or grey. It resembled the strata of a mining bed. Could it be that this colossal circular hole was, in fact, a mine where ancient or extraterrestrial civilizations had once extracted minerals?
Liu Yong found himself bewildered, yet upon contemplation, he found this hypothesis to be highly plausible.
Regrettably, Bawang was still too small. If it were more extensive, it could venture deeper into the vast expanse of the cave, possibly reaching depths exceeding 8,000 or even 9,000 meters, potentially uncovering astonishing revelations.
"Master, the cave wall exhibits different colors, layer by layer. It's rather beautiful," Bawang remarked.
Liu Yong concurred, saying, "It does bear resemblance to a mining formation. It's possible that this immense hole was created through the extraction of a specific mineral."
Upon hearing this audacious speculation, Overlord was genuinely taken aback.
Indeed, this notion challenged their preconceived understanding, but the more Liu Yong scrutinized the colossal hole, the less it appeared to have formed naturally.
"Overlord, strive to grow larger. Once we can delve deeper into this cavity, we can unveil its mysteries," Liu Yong suggested.
Intuition seemed to guide Liu Yong, assuring him that deeper exploration would yield significant discoveries.
Overlord replied, determined, "Okay, I will exert myself to grow, aiming to surpass 1,000 tons."
"Excellent, I believe in you. Let us make our way back," Liu Yong responded.
Overlord began ascending, swiftly leaving behind the vast abyss and returning to the expansive plain of the seabed.
Liu Yong disengaged from the third-party vision and pet panel, resuming his role as a surface-dwelling human.
The following day...
Liu Yong arrived at the Global Shipping Group in his car. Before visiting the Universal Building, he intended to peruse documents and reports in his office.
The Universal Building had reached its completion stage, with 98 floors towering above and three floors extending beneath the surface. The exterior walls were being decorated, internal plumbing and electrical installations were underway, and interior decor was being attended to.
Remarkably, less than a year had passed since construction commenced, and the building had already reached its roof. Such swiftness was a record attributed to the financial abundance and flexibility of the Global Shipping Group.
After briefly scanning a few documents and pouring himself a cup of coffee, Liu Yong was interrupted by Overlord's voice echoing in his mind.
"Master, I have discovered another massive hole!"
Surprised, Liu Yong paused for a moment. The notion of finding another colossal underwater cave seemed implausible, yet here they were, facing another one.
Liu Yong swiftly activated his third-party vision and immediately laid eyes on Bawang, still situated on the seabed plain, with an unfathomable abyss before it.
This new cavity mirrored the previous one—perfectly circular, descending vertically, and with a diameter of approximately 1,000 meters. Had it not been for the presence of several colossal boulders nearby, each weighing thousands of tons, Liu Yong would have doubted whether this new hole was the same as the one they had encountered the day before.
"Master, shall I explore it?" Overlord asked, eager to investigate the newly discovered hole.
With two identical colossal holes before them, it was imperative to delve deeper and uncover their secrets. Liu Yong responded, "Be cautious. Let us proceed slowly."
Following Liu Yong's guidance, Overlord cautiously ventured into the enormous cavity, gradually swimming towards its depths.
Meanwhile, Liu Yong observed with great care through his third-party vision. The new hole mirrored the previous one perfectly—a perfectly circular shape with a vertical descent.
Liu Yong couldn't help but entertain the idea that extraterrestrial beings had created the holes using a colossal drill bit with a diameter of 1,000 meters. The sheer precision and uniformity of the holes defied natural formations.
After reaching a depth of 6,800 meters, Overlord could progress no further. Even with the aid of Liu Yong's 1,000-meter range of vision, the abyss remained bottomless, its true depth and extent obscured.
"Master, the pressure is becoming too intense. I must retreat," Overlord communicated.
Understanding the limitations imposed by the overwhelming pressure, Liu Yong concurred, "Very well, let us ascend. It seems that we cannot reach the bottom of this enormous cavity at this time."
Overlord voiced his determination, "Master, my next task is to consume and grow. I will endeavor to expand rapidly, allowing us to explore the seabed's depths. Once I have grown, I will undoubtedly venture into the cavity."
Liu Yong reassured him, saying, "Indeed, your current objective is to grow. Strive to attain a larger size."
After a brief exchange, Liu Yong deactivated the third-party vision, settled into his office chair, and savoured a warm cup of coffee while deep in thought.
How could such perfectly formed cavities exist over 4,000 meters beneath the sea? If he were to share this revelation, who would believe him?
Were they remnants of ancient civilizations or evidence of extraterrestrial activity? What purpose could these immense holes serve? Mining minerals or some other enigmatic motive?
Liu Yong pondered these questions for an extended period but found no answers. Perhaps, he concluded, they would have to await Overlord's growth, enabling them to explore deeper and potentially unravel the mysteries concealed within the colossal caverns.
With his coffee consumed, Liu Yong rose from his seat and went to the Universal Building.
The construction of the tower had surpassed its halfway mark. The main structure had been completed, and the roof was successfully sealed. Most of the glass panels adorned the exterior walls, showcasing the building's breathtaking beauty.
Standing before the towering structure, Liu Yong marvelled at the 98-story building, appreciating its grandeur and magnificence.
The building's surroundings buzzed with activity, attracting internet influencers and content creators eager to capture its allure. Liu Yong observed young individuals shooting videos or live streaming, utilizing the building as a backdrop.
Contemplating the future, Liu Yong relished the prospect of relocating to the Universal Building for work. The panoramic view from his office on the top floor, overlooking the entire city, would be an unmatched experience.
Envisioning this, Liu Yong opened his heart, gazing at the building before him. Suddenly, the startled exclamations and surprised whispers of onlookers filled his ears.
Puzzled, Liu Yong turned his attention toward the commotion, discovering a group of young people who had been filming in front of the Universal Building.
Curiosity piqued, Liu Yong listened closely and soon understood the reason for the commotion. The young individuals were in awe and disbelief as they pointed towards the sky.
Liu Yong turned his gaze upward and was met with an astonishing sight. Hovering in the sky above the Universal Building was an enormous object, unlike anything he had ever seen before. It resembled a massive metallic sphere, its surface reflecting the sunlight, casting a dazzling glow.
Gasps of astonishment echoed throughout the crowd as people marvelled at the spectacle unfolding before them. Liu Yong's mind raced with questions, trying to comprehend the nature and origin of this extraordinary phenomenon.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Liu Yong activated his third-party vision again, zooming in on the colossal sphere hovering above. He scrutinized every detail, analyzing its structure and searching for any clues to shed light on its origins.
The sphere appeared to be completely motionless, defying the laws of physics. It emitted an otherworldly aura, captivating everyone who beheld it.
Liu Yong's thoughts raced, considering the possibilities. Could this be a spacecraft from an advanced extraterrestrial civilization? Or was it a product of advanced human technology, a secret project unbeknownst to the public?
As these thoughts swirled in his mind, Liu Yong realized he had stumbled upon an unprecedented discovery. The existence of the mysterious cavities deep beneath the ocean and now this enigmatic sphere hovering above the Universal Building seemed to be connected somehow.
Excitement and a sense of urgency filled Liu Yong's heart. He knew he needed to gather more information, investigate, and uncover the truth behind these extraordinary phenomena.
Leaving the crowd behind, Liu Yong hurriedly returned to his office. He accessed the vast network of resources available to him through the Global Shipping Group, seeking any information or reports related to similar incidents or unexplained phenomena worldwide.
Liu Yong understood that this discovery could potentially change the course of human history and unlock new frontiers of knowledge. It was a responsibility he couldn't ignore.
As he delved into the research and analyzed the available data, Liu Yong felt a surge of determination. He was prepared to embark on a journey that would test his limits, challenge his understanding of the world, and potentially reshape the destiny of humanity.
