Chen An eagerly sought new information, and many of his doubts were suddenly cleared up.

He continued to ask: "What is a dark cage and what does it have to do with darkness?"

Li Guan replied: "The Dark Cage should have existed a long time ago, but the darkness controlled it for a while. But as the number of Dark Guests increased, the darkness could no longer control it, so he asked his twelve sons of God to join in."

After a pause, Li Guan continued, "The Twelve Sons of God are also known as the Twelve Dark Gods. They disguise themselves as the Dark Guest's faith, providing us with strength and growth, but gradually stripping us of our rationality, attempting to make us their tools. The Sky Tribe can summon us because of the channel provided by the Twelve Dark Gods. Later, I led my teammates to break through the illusion, expel the Dark Gods, and make the Dark Cage a true home for the Dark Guest."

"So that's how it is." Chen An suddenly realized.

As they were talking, they arrived at Purple Star.

Looking down, a wide strip of continent stretched across the nebula, not as simple as a purple star.

Without waiting for Chen An to ask, Li Guan said, "The reconstructed Purple Star isn't very big. I added a lot of planetary fragments later, and it expanded to its current size. We can go down and take a look."

There are countless cities distributed on the strip of continent, inhabited by a variety of creatures, with only a very small number of Purple Star people.

Li Guan took Chen An to the central city, where there were more Purple Star people.

Seeing some familiar ancient buildings, Chen An felt a sense of familiarity.

"Only one percent of the Purple Star people survived originally, and now even fewer, only about five million."

Chen An asked: "Shouldn't the consciousness be preserved?"

Li Guan said, "Indeed, the Dark Cage absorbed the consciousness of billions of Purple Star people and allowed them to be reborn here as Dark Guests. However, over the following tens of millions of years, they continued to die, and now only these few remain."

"The assassin can also die?" Chen An was surprised.

Li Guan explained: "There are too many forces in the universe that can completely kill the Dark Guest, especially when they are not strong enough. However, after expelling the Dark God, we can gradually take control of our own destiny, and the Dark Guest's survival rate has increased significantly."

Chen An realized that there were still many secrets that he didn't know about, and Li Guan couldn't tell him all of them.

He didn't ask any more questions to avoid asking embarrassing questions.

Next, they landed in the central city. Li Guan called some high-level Purple Star people and introduced Chen An to them.

When they learned that the visitor was the same Chen An, everyone was very happy and got to know each other.

There is a statue of you in the city

"Where?"

[In the school auditorium, the shopping mall lobby, and the exhibition area of ​​Star Harbor]

"Am I still omnipotent?"

[It's just a kind of nostalgia for the old times. People always miss the past.]

Ten minutes later, Chen An asked Li Guan, "How can I help you?"

He must hurry.

Li Guan said, "Follow me."

The two left the strip of continent and traveled towards deeper depths.

Soon they arrived at an uninhabited star area. Li Guan stretched out his hand to open up the space, revealing an area of ​​brilliant light.

Chen An used his consciousness to detect and found that there was a multi-faceted spherical crystal hanging in the center of the light, with a diameter of about ten kilometers.

Each face of the spherical crystal is inlaid with a familiar train core. A quick count reveals that there are actually 100,000 of them.

"How many trains did you destroy?"

Li Guan replied, "This is the core of the Dark Cage. It was once controlled by the Twelve Dark Gods, but I took back control. The inlays on each surface can be called the core of the train, or the fruit of the sacred tree. It doesn't necessarily have to be obtained from the train, but only the train can upgrade it. So we destroyed many cosmic-level trains just to get the cosmic-level core."

Chen An vaguely saw that those cosmic-level cores were embedded in key positions.

"Actually, the Hacker-class core is more useful, but currently only your train has it, so I can only use more Cosmos-class cores instead." Li Guan glanced at Chen An and told the truth.

Chen An asked: "Since it is the fruit of the sacred tree, then where is the sacred tree?"

"I've never seen it, but I heard from Carlo that the sacred tree is in the mythological universe. These are not important. The key now is how to open the dark cage passage. I have no idea, it's up to you."

Li Guan stepped aside and gave his seat to Chen An.

Chen An approached the core and only felt rich dark energy, nothing else.

"Did you find anything?"

[Quantum information and consciousness energy are impenetrable. I don’t know the internal structure, so I can’t make an effective judgment.]

Chen An closed his eyes, observed for a long time, then approached the core and carefully reached out to touch it.

There is no special touch, but there is a unique warmth.

Chen An took out the space-time station and turned on the energy module.

The core of the dark cage suddenly burst out with huge energy, and the resulting lethality even moved Li Guan.

Chen An certainly couldn't bear it, but the space-time station absorbed it.

"What's going on?" Li Guan asked.

Chen An replied: "I'm trying to open it. Please stay away and be careful not to get hurt."

Li Guan knew that he was indeed vulnerable to accidental injury from strange energy, so he did not take it lightly and turned around and traveled ten light years away.

At the scene, Chen An's brows relaxed.

"The space-time station sucked away most of it, and some of it entered my body. It felt quite comfortable."

It strengthens your whole body cells

"If there is no space-time station, I really wouldn't dare to absorb it."

Chen An stopped talking and concentrated on controlling the machine.

About two hours later, the energy completely dissipated, the core of the dark cage made a slight sound, and a door actually opened in the front.

Chen An subconsciously wanted to go in, but soon felt something was wrong and called Li Guan over.

"The core of the dark cage is open. Do you want to go in?"

Li Guan's lips curled up slightly: "Controlling the core will most likely control the dark cage. Don't you want to go in?"

Chen An turned around and walked away, leaving a message: "That's your stuff, I'm not interested."

He did think about it before, but Chen An has enough self-control and tries not to touch things that don’t belong to him, otherwise it will easily lead to unpredictable and bad consequences.

Li Guan replied, "If you rush in, your rationality will be shattered and you will be doomed."

After saying this, he entered the core of the dark cage and closed the door.

[Actually, it’s okay to go in, you have the Primordial Light]

"Forget it, it's impossible for me to take all the benefits."

Having nothing to do for the time being, Chen An wandered around and met the demigod of the Golden Eyed Clan whom he had met before.

After communicating with each other, they learned that his name was Losa and he had followed Li Guan for more than tens of millions of years.

"Your train and the Golden Eyed Tribe's train are on the same route. Do you know what happened to them?"

Chen An told the truth and explained that there were still some members of the Golden Eyed Clan alive in the car.

Losa said without emotion, "I was actually qualified to board the train at the beginning, but those powerful people blocked the way and cut off my chance of survival. To be honest, I wished all those guys had died on the road. It doesn't matter now. I don't care about the past anymore. Chen An, can you promise me one thing?"

"Please go ahead."

"When he ascends to the divine path, please do not become an enemy of Big Brother. To resist this unfair fate, all of us, the Dark Knights, will push Big Brother to divinehood at all costs. Anyone who dares to stand in our way will be crushed, without exception."

Chen An couldn't give a definite response and could only respond softly.
