Chapter 1049: 802
Suolin had no intention of explaining to them that this was a high-end technique from the future. After forcing her opponents to defend with one strike, she unleashed various Fighting Aura skills in succession. As a member of the Fine Gold Dragon Clan, not only was her resistance enhanced, but the power of her Fighting Aura skills had also seen an astonishing increase.
As Black Dragons, they were accustomed to swaggering around the entire multiverse. Even within the Dragon Clan, the Black Dragons maintained a sense of superiority due to their numbers and strength. However, in this moment, these two Black Dragons could never have imagined that one day they would be chased and attacked by another dragon!
This feeling was simply too terrible.
"Bastards! How dare you look down on us! We’ll kill you! Eat you!" the two Black Dragons roared, charging mindlessly in an attempt to incapacitate Suolin with close-quarters pressure. Unexpectedly, Suolin not only didn’t dodge, but instead confronted them head-on. She executed a bizarrely short evasion in mid-air to avoid their pincer attack, then abruptly spread her wings to halt herself in place, seemingly using the recoil of her Fighting Aura to propel herself back into the sky.
Following this series of maneuvers, the two Black Dragons suddenly realized that they had been transformed from hunters to prey!
Damn it! You won’t get away!
Enduring the relentless onslaught of Fighting Aura skills from behind, the two Black Dragons sprinted desperately. But whether in terms of speed or agility, they were no match for Suolin! In the blink of an eye, the two Black Dragons were already riddled with injuries!
"Escape!"
The two Black Dragons cast magic simultaneously, teleporting themselves away once more. The Black Dragon that was ahead disappeared, and two small black spots appeared on the distant horizon.
"Trying to run?" Suolin steeled her heart, knowing that if she didn’t take care of these damned Black Dragons immediately, they would surely come back to trouble her again. It would be better to deal with them once and for all!
However, at that moment, a strange Halo slowly descended in the distant sky. It appeared slow, but it was actually extremely fast, sweeping over everything in an instant.
Almost simultaneously, Suolin felt her Mana and Fighting Aura rapidly leaving her!
A Giant’s curse?
Suolin almost immediately realized what was happening, and the two Black Dragons had already plummeted to the ground!
Suolin immediately exhausted all her strength to revert to her human form.
Because the human and dragon forms are two separate entities, her strength returned to her body once she reverted to human form.
Those two Black Dragons should now be quaking in fear, shouldn’t they?
Suolin didn’t waste any more time but immediately returned to the Outpost. The information she obtained this time was ample; it was time to return.
Half a day passed quickly, and Suolin finally acquired enough energy to make her way back.
"I’m leaving first, but I will be back," Suolin said.
Time and space fluctuated, and as she passed through the space-time tunnel, Suolin once again appeared in the space lab. When she reappeared, the space lab was completely different from before! The space was larger and brighter, the equipment was more high-end and advanced, and there seemed to be more people around.
As soon as Suolin appeared, a thunderous cheer erupted from the people around her.
"She’s back! She’s finally back! Quick, record the time!" an old scientist shouted.
"Why does it seem like I’ve been gone for a very long time?" Suolin asked, looking at the familiar faces around her.
"You’ve been away for over a thousand years!" a scientist said.
"We even made a memorial for you!" another scientist exclaimed.
Holy Land!
Is this the Holy Land?
Long Yi looked at the two halves of the planet before him, split like an apple bitten in half.
In the center of the two halves of the planet, a series of massive metallic structures connected the two halves.
"There lies the Holy Land, and where the Ancient Mage Tower first took its place, our origin!" Elma said sentimentally, "Although I often come here, every visit fills me with piety. Without this place, we wouldn’t have everything we have now. We must maintain reverence and gratitude!"
At the top of the Ancient Mage Tower, the Elders stood together, and Long Yi was there too. Also present was a team of a hundred people. As a token of this victory, Long Yi was able to join the pilgrimage group and become one of them, which made many people envious. However, pilgrimage wasn’t a matter where more people meant less honor; after all, pilgrimage was more a matter of one’s own strength and even a bit of luck.
"Then, let’s set off."
Elma commanded.
From the top of the Ancient Mage Tower, a small structure slowly took off, heading towards the center of the two halves of the planet.
All who saw this scene were filled with envy; it was an extraordinary honor!
At this time, Solis was discreetly watching Long Yi. Although Long Yi had previously threatened Solis with words, he had made no true move since then. Solis wasn’t sure if his secret had truly been discovered by Long Yi or if it had merely been an empty threat.
The small spacecraft had already flown into the center of the two halves of the planet, and Long Yi could see countless memorials towering on the cross section of the planet. The memorials were incredibly tall, visible from this distance, they must have been at least several hundred kilometers high.
Yet no one knows for whom these monuments truly commemorate.
At this moment, Long Yi quietly approached behind Solis.
"Master Solis, what are you thinking about?" Long Yi suddenly asked. The somewhat distracted Solis shuddered. Turning around and seeing it was Long Yi, he smiled faintly, shook his head, and said, "Nothing much, just marveling at the Giants’ grandeur."
"Oh? Is that so? I thought you would utterly despise the Giants," Long Yi said with a smile.
"Despise the Giants, how could I? Without the Giants, there would be no world as we know it today. Perhaps we’d still be a group of pitiable creatures living in the wilderness," Solis explained.
"You saying that really surprises me because I thought you made it your mission to exterminate the Giants," Long Yi said with a chuckle.
"Why?" Solis’s heart skipped a beat, but he asked without changing his expression.
"I don’t know, I’m just guessing," Long Yi grinned, saying no more, then turned and left. However, Solis understood that the truth about the God Chaser hidden within him had really been exposed!
"Long Yi is laying his cards on the table with us," Solis said.
"Yes, he already knows of my existence," the God Chaser said.
"Long Yi must die; he absolutely cannot continue to exist in this world!" the God Chaser and Solis said almost simultaneously.
The structure between the two halves of the planet did not seem large from afar, but as one approached, its astounding size became evident. After all, it was a structure connecting two halves of a planet, with thousands of kilometers in diameter, occasionally accompanied by the sound of metal twisting.
"The sound is caused by the asynchrony between the two halves of the planet, but don’t worry, this is the crystallization of Giant technology; we won’t be in any danger," Elma said with a smile to everyone.
Most of the hundred-strong pilgrimage group were here for the first time, and at this moment, everyone was astonished by everything they saw. The horizon stretched on both sides, extending into a narrow crevice, through which only a sliver of light from the distant planets could pass.
The pitch-black monuments extended from nearby to the distance, each inscribed with text.
"There’s air here, so don’t worry. Also, if you go to the position of the monuments, be mindful that gravity can suddenly change," Elma told the astonished crowd.
"Who are these monuments meant to commemorate?" Long Yi asked.
"I don’t know. The Giant script on them is extremely complex and not even the most authoritative Giant cultural scholars among us can understand it," Elma said.
"I’ll take a look," Long Yi said.
"Don’t delay too long; the knowledge in the library is much more important," Elma said.
"Well, that might not necessarily be true for me. You go ahead; I’ll catch up soon," Long Yi said with a smile, waving his hand.
Ai Lin and the others didn’t follow, so Long Yi was somewhat relaxed, and he headed straight for the nearest monument. This monument, thousands of kilometers high, bore text that was visible from a great distance and truly intricate. But not so intricate that Long Yi couldn’t recognize it.
The text was in the formal Giant script, used only on the most formal occasions, in places of utmost solemnity. Because it rarely appeared, the so-called Giant cultural scholars of today could not possibly recognize it.
"Here lies our great brother, Xiao Maier, who sacrificed his life for the first rapid space-warping magic."
Thus it was written on that monument.
"Here lies our great sister, Kaimerla, who was consumed by macrophages while acquiring precious biological genetic material."
It was written similarly on another monument.
Long Yi looked at many monuments, and it became clear that this place was a Giant burial ground!
But how could that be possible? Hadn’t the Giants hidden everything? Why would a burial ground be left isolated, floating in the cosmic space of the Lower Plane? Given the Giant’s nature and culture, after constructing such magnificent monuments, they shouldn’t have abandoned this place.
Could it be that it was too sudden?
Long Yi looked around at everything, silent and cold.
Who would build a library in a place like this?
No, no one would do that unless it had a very special significance, or rather, it wasn’t a library at all!
Long Yi didn’t keep looking but instead made his way to the entrance of the colossal structure. To his surprise, Elma was still there, waiting for him.
"This place is really complicated; if I didn’t guide you, you’d undoubtedly get lost quickly," Elma said with a smile.
If it were any ordinary Mage, to be so looked after by the master of the Ancient Mage Tower, they would likely be overwhelmed with gratitude and tears, but at this moment, Long Yi could only offer a simple thank you. If Elma weren’t there, Long Yi could have simply taken out the Giant tablet and made sense of the place.
But now, he had to follow Elma obediently. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
