Chapter 941 (2/2)

“Of course there’s only one.” the old scholar’s eyes widen. “The world’s only!”

“Uh… so do you know how ‘created’ this giant turtle?”

The old scholar’s eyes widen even more. “Of course its the gods, can mere mortals create worlds?”

Hao Ren scratched his head. “Alright, I have nothing more to ask.”

The old scholar did not understand Hao Ren’s question and simply looked at Willy. “Your friends have some rather peculiar thoughts.”

The elderly scholar could not stay too long, he still had to train the young technicians of Hearthfire. After a few more questions and answers with Hao Ren, the old man left the place with Willy’s help. Once the place was left with Hao Ren and his crew, he stood up to stretch. “Ughhhh… so what do you guts think?”

“I’m interested in that ‘divine artifact’ the scholar had mentioned.” Vivian immediately replied. “Based on his stories, I think the story of the ‘divine artifact’ is not baseless.”

“I agree.” the MDT had also popped out. “Have you all ever wondered, how did this exiled arks escape the guardians for over ten thousand years? The arks are not very advanced, and they had only just entered the hyperlight speed zone, while the guardians battleships are much much more advanced. The one that Muru was on could easily wipe this entire fleet out on its own. But yet the arks escaped, and were only lost in the end due to the mechancial failure caused by age. Compared to those races who did not even manage to escape their home planet, don’t you think the fate of these arks are rather incredible?”

Something dawned upon Nangong Wuyue. “So they really have a ‘divine artifact’ protecting them?”

“Even if it was not a real ‘divine artifact,’ it was probably something about as strong and hid the ark fleet from the gaze of the gurdians. And it was used to great effect during the initial exodus.”

Hao Ren looked out, seemingly lost in thought. From that angle, he could see the giant machine at the end of this enclosed space, the Furnace of the Ancestors.

“If there was such a thing. There is only one place that it could be hiding. Within the Central Control Tower.”

Vivian immediately frowned. “But the Furnace of the Ancestors will be heavily guarded. We have not gained their trust yet… If we are to check it out we probably have to force our… Wait, something’s awry!”

She suddenly yelped halfway through as she pointed towards the Furnace of the Ancestors. The rest immediately turned to it and all widen their eyes.

A massive electric bolt shot out from the Furnace of the Ancestors and was dancing on the outer shell of the ancient machine!
