Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 559 - 271: The Only Opportunity (Part 2)

He Yun nodded without any dissatisfaction. She piloted the aerial vehicle to patrol over the city, explaining the changes of the underground shelter to Wu Chang.

She chose to keep the underground shelter in the status of a Pillar of the Present World, without upgrading to the Abyss Second Layer, and without a complete transformation. This prevented the shelter from operating as she envisioned, where everyone could control energy at will, with technology becoming magical.

Yet, even so, merging the Desire Stele with the energy supply network of the shelter has made the energy and resources in the current underground shelter nearly infinite.

What people need to think about is only how to expand deeper underground and how to obtain a larger living environment.

The aerial vehicle descended to a deeper level. Since it directly absorbs energy from the Desire Stele, the original energy mine has been transformed into a manufacturing base integrating research and production.

The manufacturing base is under construction, with progress already one-third complete. Once half-done, it can be put to use.

The current priority is setting up the production line for new mechas.

Wu Chang curiously asked, "With the Stone Divine Hall no longer a threat, why are you still producing so many mechas?"

He Yun’s face showed a faint worry as she said:

"As the time flow in the underground shelter has resumed recently, traces of human activity have begun to appear on the outskirts of the shelter."

"Their actions are stealthy and well-trained, deliberately gathering our intelligence with ill intentions. They are likely the same people who attacked Shelter No. 87."

"Being constantly on their minds carries the risk of a surprise attack from them, so my brother is preparing to form a new armored squad to go on the offensive and eliminate them."

Wu Chang frowned slightly. He remembered He Yun mentioning that among those who attacked and massacred Shelter No. 87, there were many members of the Bliss Sect, with an Evil God involved, and possibly Transcendents in their camp.

He said, "Be extremely cautious in your operations, and inform me before you act. I will join you."

He Yun smiled and said, "In that case, I won’t hold back."

The aerial vehicle stopped in front of the central laboratory. Seeing He Yun pulling him toward the bedroom, Wu Chang hurriedly said:

"Wait, besides coming specifically to see you, I have two other things to do this time."

He Yun turned her head to look at him, with a look of ’I knew it’ as she said, "I thought you’d keep holding back without saying anything."

Seeing Wu Chang’s slightly embarrassed expression, He Yun changed direction and instead pulled Wu Chang towards the laboratory.

"Go ahead, what do you want to do with the shelter’s energy network?"

Wu Chang asked in confusion, "How do you know I want to use the energy network?"

He Yun’s expression was resentful as she said, "Because compared with that girl outside who was born a God, this is the only advantage I have left."

Wu Chang’s expression froze, and a guilty look appeared in his eyes as he didn’t know how to respond.

He Yun suddenly burst into laughter, "Just kidding, I’m already very happy that you came to see me."

Wu Chang’s face became more embarrassed.

Oh no, I’ve become Tom being played.

Wu Chang patted his face, planning to let He Yun enjoy her triumph for a moment. Later, he’d show her who the real ace is.

He took out the All-Knowing Crystal and roughly explained its intelligence to He Yun.

The All-Knowing Crystal answered his questions, requiring sufficient Extraordinary Energy. Wu Chang had tried infusing energy into the Extraordinary Crystal, but with his energy attribute of 146, even fully injecting it, the energy bar only progressed slightly.

This shows the massive energy requirement of the All-Knowing Crystal. Using Erin’s True Divine Body to charge it might fill it, but without enough believers, Erin’s Divine Power recovers slowly.

After much thought, there’s no place more suitable than the underground shelter to provide a large amount of Extraordinary Energy.

So when He Yun mentioned that compared to Erin, he only thought of her when he needed energy, Wu Chang felt guilty.

However, He Yun didn’t mind because after hearing the intelligence regarding the All-Knowing Crystal, her attention shifted from Wu Chang to the All-Knowing Crystal.

Without Wu Chang needing to speak, she immediately began setting up the energy supply equipment according to the All-Knowing Crystal.

Energy belonged to He Yun’s domain, and in less than an hour, she had built a channel on the central control platform to continuously inject energy into the All-Knowing Crystal.

After five minutes of infusion, the All-Knowing Crystal lit up again. It hovered in the air, gently rotating, and asked Wu Chang:

"The required energy is full. Do you wish to ask the previous question?"

Wu Chang nodded and repeated, "What should I do to prevent or lessen the Abyss’s erosion of the real world?"

"Obtain three Pillars of the Present World and temporary management rights of the Desolate Realm among them. Acquire the Power of Faith from no less than three Planes. Unite with the already existing Earthly Divine Kingdom to construct a large Secret Divine Kingdom, which could provide a slight chance."

Wu Chang frowned. He wanted to stop the erosion of the real world, but the All-Knowing Crystal offered a lot of conditions and only provided one opportunity?

"Can’t it be completely stopped?"

The All-Knowing Crystal didn’t answer, and its surface dimmed again, falling back to the control platform.

Wu Chang became a bit anxious. After consuming so much energy, it only answered one question?

He looked at He Yun, hoping she could try again, but He Yun showed a helpless expression and said, "It seems that the energy it absorbs has reached its limit, and I can’t inject any more."

Wu Chang sighed. The All-Knowing Crystal was very powerful, but without a Soul Contract, its usage was heavily restricted. Even Erin couldn’t forcibly activate it, so He Yun obviously couldn’t handle it either.
