Chapter 554: Possibly, Seven Suns

Logically speaking, the Star Armory is fully capable of protecting Yu Cang's safety on the third floor. This is what the princess promised herself.

But just now, at the last moment when Yu Cang escaped from the third floor, he looked back... He was definitely not mistaken. The black hole-like "Star Armory" was already full of cracks, and was torn into pieces under the influence of some unknown force!

I'm afraid Yu Cang will never forget the scene at that time for a long time.

The black hole was like a soft dough, being kneaded and kneaded in the gray folds. Large chunks of it were being wrapped up and wanted to be pulled out of the main body, but it was supported by the power of the Star Arsenal itself and did not compromise easily.

The Star Armory was torn into countless broken parts. Although those parts seemed to be connected by thin black lines, it was obvious that there was not much time left before it was completely shattered.

"impossible."

The princess said decisively.

"The Empire's Star Armory is fully capable of resisting the prying eyes of the fourth-layer gods. Otherwise, we wouldn't be using the third layer as the Star Armory's primary berthing location."

Yu Cang: "But what I saw was absolutely true."

"..." The princess frowned slightly, "Are you sure what you saw was real... and not an illusion or a dream?"

"I can still clearly distinguish between reality and dreams."

After saying this, the princess pursed her lips, a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes, and she fell silent for a while.

Although she has absolute confidence in the empire's technology, she is not stubborn.

She also believed in Yu Cang and her judgment.

But how could this be? From the time the Empire's first Star Armory was put into use until today, a conservative estimate is that hundreds of millions of years have passed.

As the ultimate weapon, the comprehensive strength of the Star Armory is absolutely needless to say. Even for the Nameless Empire, it would take tens of thousands of years to produce one in non-wartime circumstances.

Production is one aspect, maintenance is another.

Even if all the resources of the civilizations that have just entered the Star Sky Vision are taken out, they may not be enough to produce one-tenth of the Star Armory.

Even the Nameless Empire cannot squander such a terrifying amount of resources.

If a fourth-level god would lose an entire star arsenal every time he peeked at it, then it would be impossible for it to serve for hundreds of millions of years.

No matter what, it is impossible to last more than a few seconds in a face-to-face encounter.

"How could that be..."

“Could it be because the equipment is aging?”

"Impossible." The princess shook her head. "It's only been ten thousand years. The Star Armory's production time is longer than that. The self-test system inside is enough to keep the Star Armory at 99% of its strength. There is absolutely no problem in resisting the gods' prying eyes."

"...I have another question." Yu Cang continued, "How does the Star Armory move on the third floor?"

"...This is more complicated, but the Star Armory has all the methods of rapid movement within the Star Sky Vision Area that have been discovered so far." The princess looked at Yu Cang, "What's wrong?"

"The Star Armory appeared just in time. I hadn't seen any trace of it when I was observing it before, but shortly after the god took notice, it appeared behind me... It was as if it knew I was in danger."

Princess: "..."

"Is there anyone still operating the Star Armory now?"

"No." The princess slowly shook her head, her eyes becoming serious. "The Star Armory I brought with me is only operated by my brother and me... Although it has an automatic cruise mode, I disabled it before I fell asleep to conserve energy... Even if it were on, the main control intelligence would have no reason to rescue you."

There was no way Star Armory would put itself in danger just to save a stranger.

Although Yu Cang is the Emperor Star Selector, there is no information about Yu Cang in the Star Equipment Warehouse, so there is no reason to take action.

After saying this, the princess stopped talking and fell into a long silence.

A long time passed.

Yu Cangcai asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking...never mind, it's nothing."

Seeing her hesitation, Yu Cang sighed, and then said: "Could it be your 'King Brother' who did it?"

“…Who knows?”

"What's the probability? Estimate it."

Xingchen took a deep breath, looked away, and said, "If it was Brother Wang who did it... then it means he has been watching our actions the entire time. He knows who you are, so he would not hesitate to use up an entire Star Armory to help you back. But why would he..."

She opened her mouth, then swallowed the rest of her words.

Yu Cang knew what she wanted to say.

Ten thousand years have passed. Since he has been watching all the time, he must be able to sense the princess's longing.

So, why not come out and meet us?

Back then, after returning from the Holy City Fengyue Cangjian, the princess had already realized that her brother had chosen a path destined to be full of sacrifices.

Perhaps I am the first victim on his path.

From the Nameless Empire to the Blue Star, the two of them experienced countless difficulties, but in her memory, there was no hesitation in her brother's eyes, and everything he did was to find the Imperial Star.

And, the moment she found the Emperor Star and accepted its fortune, the princess's own destiny had already been written.

The prince must have known all this, but he never told her. The most ardent hope in her memory was still that after the war, she could return to the empire with the prince and live a peaceful life.

But, she was deceived.

From then on, she had complicated emotions towards her brother Wang... She actually didn't mind being a "sacrifice". For someone like her who didn't have any lofty ideals, it was good to fall on such a road.

However, Brother Wang concealed all this, so all of this has changed in my memory.

Now, he learned that Brother Wang had most likely been secretly watching him all these years, otherwise how could he have rescued Yu Cang so timely?

The volume of the third floor is almost infinite, and the distribution of the Star Armory is irregular. If Brother Wang was only on the third floor, his reaction would not be so quick.

He must have been watching him for a long time.

For a moment, the princess's eyes dimmed a little, and there was a flicker of emotion of unknown origin in them.

"Don't think too much." Yu Cang patted the princess's shoulder. "Look at the bright side. Perhaps we are not far from finding your brother."

"Um……"

Looking at the sad princess, Yu Cang sighed softly.

He did not get the answer he wanted from the princess.

However, there are some guesses.

There is no problem with the strength of the Star Armory, and there is no possibility of aging, so in other words, the problem may lie with the God's peeping.

He was just wondering... How could he possibly encounter such a rare event the first time he entered the third floor?

When something is a coincidence, we must consider the possibility that it is not a coincidence.

According to the current information, the dead gods on the fourth layer cannot take the initiative to dive to the third layer... There is nothing on the third layer, not even the medium that carries the gods' gaze.

The occurrence of those divine peeping phenomena is the result of a combination of various coincidences and will only happen once, so it is said that the probability of encountering them is very low and there is no pattern.

So Yu Cang didn't think much about it.

But now it seems that may not be the case.

Is it possible... that this time, it was this god who showed up on his own initiative?

His purpose has been Himself from the very beginning! It has nothing to do with coincidence!

Being able to shred the Star Armory proves that this god's strength is absolutely powerful beyond imagination. So, it seems reasonable that he can do this?

Thinking of this, Yu Cang couldn't help but look behind him.

Well... although he is powerful, it seems that the third level is his limit. After the second level, it is a place that he cannot touch no matter what.

So, why did this god do this... There didn't seem to be much about him that was worthy of such a being's covetousness.

Moreover... the "channel" that Dixing had built for himself just now was also directly crushed by it. Now that he calmed down and thought about it carefully, something was not right.

How could Emperor Star be so unreliable, using such fragile items to fool me... Even if I don't care about my life, at least now, I am still a chosen one.

Could it be that the power of that god is even stronger than that of Emperor Star?

Is this... possible?

The Emperor Star already has the authority to control all energy within the star realm. Is there an existence that is on par with the Emperor Star, or even stronger?

Wild? Or maybe...

Yu Cang's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

It is not certain yet.

Let’s put this aside for now. What is His purpose?

I'm just a level six soul card master, what's so worthy of such a being coming to the third level...

After much thought, the only identity that qualifies him is "Emperor Star Selector".

That's not right either.

If you covet the power of the Emperor Star, then why are you looking for me? That old Deng from the Emperor Star just passed by you on his way back to the fourth floor. Can't you see it?

After thinking for a long time, Yu Cang narrowed down two possibilities in his mind.

He raised his head.

One possibility is that this god wants to come out.

Although I don’t know much about the stars, but from now on... it seems that there is only one such god from the last era or even earlier, the Emperor Star?

There were many celestial bodies in the past, but the Emperor Star was able to remain stable in every era, which is undoubtedly special.

If that's the case, maybe he just wanted to take over my body and get some fresh air from the fourth floor.

Well, that makes sense.

I just don’t know where the strength of Emperor Star ranks among these stars.

As for the second type——

Yu Cang's expression became much more serious.

This possibility was often ignored by him in the past, but at this moment, he had to take it into consideration.

In his own body, there is a being of the same status as the "Emperor Star", or even higher—

Entry recorder!

In the past, no matter how powerful a being was, even a myth, it was impossible for them to detect their own entry recorder.

Even someone like Ra, who had once touched a being beyond myth and was in constant contact with him, could only praise his talent.

So, what about the realm of Emperor Star? What about beings as powerful as him, or even more powerful?

Is it possible that you have noticed...

If we analyze it carefully, this possibility is very likely.

The passage left by Emperor Xing could not resist the prying eyes of that god. Perhaps Emperor Xing did not guess that the god would attack him.

And if Emperor Xing knew that his power was coveted, why would he pull himself up to the third level like this?

After a moment's silence, Yu Cang shook his head.

With his current strength, it is still too far-fetched to think about these things.

He couldn't even defeat the God of Wilderness.

After coming to his senses, he chatted with the princess for a while in the Starry Sky Vision, and then returned to the real world.

At this time, it was daybreak.

…

at the same time

The Dire Border!

In the dark abyss, a meteor streaked across the sky.

Here, light is an extremely precious food. Any being that dares to release light will be drowned by the endless waves of monsters from the darkness, without exception.

But now, this strong man seemed to have no intention of concealing his figure. He dragged a long tail of flame across the sky, revealing his presence in a very ostentatious manner!

Despite the light, the Nightmare Border was surprisingly quiet today.

Although they want to gain light, they also know how to seek benefits and avoid harm.

The aura in the sky was too strong, they didn't dare, and... in their hearts, no matter how strong that guy was, he would definitely be extinguished soon.

…

interest!

The light hovered in the sky, and Di Changan's figure appeared from it.

Behind him, Guixiang was standing in the air. The ancient costume on his body had now turned into a battle suit woven with golden energy, flashing with light. The light of the meteor just now was the scene produced by this battle suit during high-speed movement.

"Is that the so-called border country ahead?" Di Changan asked.

"From the data, it seems that's true."

"good."

Di Changan nodded.

Before heading to the God-Wounded Wasteland, he still had one thing to do.

That is to assess the risks within the Dire borders.

He knew about this strange world, but at that time he was no longer able to explore it, so the task of exploration was handed over to the association.

But this border country is something I only heard about after waking up this time.

It is said that there is a mysterious and powerful "Code" in the Border Country. Everything in it must abide by the rules of the Border Country and cannot exceed them in the slightest, otherwise there will be death.

This kind of rule has caused great trouble to the association's exploration.

There was still some time before he met those old mythical friends, so he wanted to find out now.

Going forward from here is the territory of the border country.

After a moment of silence, Di Chang'an's eyes fixed, and then he suddenly took a step forward!

He could feel that he had crossed a very obvious boundary and came to a new world. A strange touch wanted to envelop his body, but Guixiang behind him waved his hand and isolated the touch.

Di Changan looked around: "There doesn't seem to be anything strange... Hmm?"

He let out a light exclamation and discovered something was wrong.

He turned his head and looked into the distance, but his face changed suddenly.

What is that?

Hanging in the sky, there are... seven suns?
