Chapter 2591 - 2592: Mechanical Creatures
Chapter 2591: Chapter 2592: Mechanical Creatures
According to the territorial layout, the Multiverse is much smaller than the Sky Beyond the Skies.
But due to the suppression of the Heavenly Dao Laws, Xue An’s strength experienced a certain decline, and even his traveling speed was much slower than it was in the Sky Beyond the Skies.
So although the distance is shorter, the time taken is nearly the same; it will take at least a few days to reach Earth.
During this time, everyone was not idle; instead, they carefully observed each planet they passed by, attempting to find some clues.
But all efforts proved futile; every planet in this wild land adjacent to the Multiverse boundaries without exception was a lifeless dead star without any Spiritual Energy.
Let alone finding clues, after traveling for most of the day, they hadn’t even seen a single sign of life.
This discovery made Xue An’s expression gradually grow solemn. He still remembered when he left the Multiverse, this territory, though desolate, was still full of hidden vitality.
Certainly not as cold and dead as now.
Faintly, Xue An felt a sense of foreboding in his heart.
And this feeling reached its peak when he saw a planet with clear marks of artificial chiseling and pockmarked as if gnawed by something.
"What is this?" Ao Shu asked with some confusion, looking at this planet outside the window.
"There is still a hint of Spiritual Energy fluctuation left on this planet. It should have died not long ago," the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady said solemnly.
"This is clearly man-made! But the question is, who did it?" Yangjian also said gravely.
At this moment, a slightly childish voice came from behind.
"These chiseling marks are obviously made by mechanical hands!"
Everyone turned to look, and it was Xiao Gourd speaking.
This Xiao Gourd had not appeared on stage since being bewildered by the black mist on the Bai Family battlefield.
But she was not harmed; even the black mist only made her unconscious for a few days, and she woke up by herself without any medication.
She hadn’t shown up because she had been staying by the side of Ghost Needle Divine Doctor, Cha Wenliang, this whole time.
But this time when Xue An returned to the Multiverse, Ao Shu naturally had to follow.
So when she was bidding farewell to her teacher Cha Wenliang, Cha Wenliang entrusted Xiao Gourd to her, letting her take Xiao Gourd along.
At first, Ao Shu didn’t understand Cha Wenliang’s intention, but out of fondness for Xiao Gourd, and considering that Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian had no playmates, she agreed.
But once aboard the ship, Ao Shu discovered that in these few short days, Cha Wenliang had imparted all his life’s medical knowledge to Xiao Gourd.
And Xiao Gourd displayed an astonishing learning ability, remembering and mastering everything.
This made Ao Shu feel a deep sense of defeat.
To know she had followed Cha Wenliang for years, yet the medical knowledge she learned was pitifully little, not even a fraction compared to Xiao Gourd’s accomplishments at this moment.
Such a huge discrepancy naturally left Ao Shu dejected.
But Ao Shu quickly adjusted her mindset, thinking that no matter how impressive her little sister was, she would still have to call her senior sister.
Thinking this way, her mood improved significantly.
Not to mention having such a little sage of medical skills accompanying them, the safety level of everyone was undoubtedly much higher.
Moreover, the two little girls were even more elated upon seeing Xiao Gourd, pulling her to play various girlish games all day.
And Xiao Gourd did not decline at all; instead, she integrated well, just like a real little girl.
Until today, upon seeing this ravaged planet, Xiao Gourd came to the window and spoke those words.
"Mechanical forces?" the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady repeated.
Xiao Gourd nodded.
"That’s right, and I can sense that the entity controlling this mechanical force should have a high level, at least one that has developed self-awareness."
Upon hearing her say this, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, Yangjian, and others showed slight changes in their expressions.
Among those present, only Huyue was unaware of Xiao Gourd’s background, seeing a little girl speaking eloquently, he couldn’t help but be a bit skeptical.
"Cough cough, little girl, when adults are talking, kids should not interfere, hurry and go play!"
But Xiao Gourd did not pay any mind to him, instead turning her head to Xue An and saying, "Moreover, I can sense that not far from here, there are intense mechanical fluctuations."
Xue An did not hesitate at all and directly asked, "In which direction?"
Xiao Gourd raised her hand and pointed to a distant section of the starry sky, "There!"
Xue An immediately propelled the Magic Treasures Pavilion beneath him towards that section of the starry sky.
Feeling completely ignored, Huyue was somewhat displeased.
"Hey hey hey, we’re supposed to head back to Earth first, right? Why are we taking commands from a little girl? Moreover, I just used Divine Sense to probe that starry sky, there’s nothing there!"
Yet Xiao Gourd paid no attention to his "clamoring" and turned around to leave.
Huyue was so angry, "How is this little girl so impolite?"
"You were impolite first, weren’t you?" Ao Shu said from the side.
Huyue was embarrassed, stubbornly saying, "But I was speaking the truth!"
"Enough, you should say less. This little girl, though young, is considered an authority in mechanical matters. If she says there’s a problem there, there certainly is a problem!" Yangjian also stepped forward to explain.
Huyue was a bit unconvinced.
"Alright, alright, I’m not one to pick on a child, I just think we shouldn’t waste time here..."
Then his words got cut off because just at that moment, a gigantic planet appeared outside the window in the starry sky.
That’s hardly surprising; what’s truly astonishing is that the surface of this planet is actually covered with countless mechanical organisms.
These beings are excavating every resource that can be mined from this planet, then compiling them onto spaceships, which fly away into the distance.
Only after seeing this scene did everyone understand what was really going on with the previously pock-marked planet.
Huyue was dumbstruck.
At the same time, Xiao Gourd suddenly opened the Magic Treasures Pavilion door, appearing in the outer void, and then headed straight for this planet.
"What is she trying to do?" Huyue asked in shock.
"She should be searching for something!" Yangjian said.
Indeed.
Xiao Gourd encountered no obstacles as she moved through the atmosphere filled with transport ships, landing on the planet’s surface.
As she landed, all the mechanical organisms, which were originally busy, suddenly ceased their activities.
As if someone had pressed the pause button, they all retained their final operational stance.
Meanwhile, Xiao Gourd stood silently, her eyes flashing with electricity, and faintly, an array of delicate electric threads extended above her head, connecting with these mechanical organisms.
