After learning that Lu Qingyi had been placed in the next room to recuperate and her condition had stabilized, Lu Chencheng struggled to sit up. Wen Shifei immediately woke up, his eyes full of surprise.
"How does it feel?" she asked softly.
"I won't die." Lu Chen's voice was still hoarse. He looked at Wen Shifei, "How are you?"
"I'm fine." Wen Shifei held his hand. "Thanks to this." She pointed to the magic blade beside her. The blade seemed even darker, and the silver lines seemed to come alive, flowing slowly.
At this moment, Xin Beacon walked in with a serious expression: "Miss Qingyi has woken up, and she... wants to see you. Moreover, she has something important to give you."
In the quiet convalescent room, Lu Qingyi sat leaning against the bed, her face pale, but her eyes clearer than before, though a lingering fear still lingered deep within. Seeing Lu Cheneng come in, her tears welled up instantly.
"Brother..." she choked.
Lu Chenhang sat down beside the bed and gently held her hand: "It's okay, it's all over."
Lu Qingyi shook her head vigorously, tears streaming down her face: "No... there is no past... Brother, I saw... the 'Ark'... it's not just a coordinate..." Her body trembled slightly with fear, "It's a... a living... 'cage'! Inside is sleeping... the 'Guardian'! Father... he doesn't just want to control 'Zero'... he wants to release the 'Guardian'! Use the entire planet as a sacrifice... in exchange for... eternal power!" She spoke out an interstellar coordinate that was incredibly accurate, and described the suffocating, living-like defense ring surrounding the "Ark".
Lu Chenheng and Wen Shifei's hearts sank to the bottom. Lu Qiming's madness was beyond imagination!
"And... the lighthouse..." Lu Qingyi pointed out the window (the simulation screen displayed the external scene), "I feel... it's calling... no, it's... warning! It received a signal... from the direction of the 'Ark'! That signal... carries the... breath of the 'Guardian'!"
As if to confirm her words, a rapid, noise-filled alarm suddenly came from the command center's communication channel!
"Report! Received an unknown deep space signal! The source and location... are highly consistent with the coordinates provided by Miss Qingyi! The signal's content cannot be deciphered, but its energy signature... is extremely dangerous! It carries a strong... biologically contaminating mental pulse!"
Hope and despair intertwined. Lu Qingyi had brought crucial coordinates and a warning, but a greater shadow loomed. Lu Cheneng looked at Wen Shifei, who also had a solemn expression beside him, then at his own scarred body and the demonic blade, which had absorbed so much energy and become increasingly mysterious.
The beacon fires imprisoning Lu Qingyi had just died down, but the beacon fires of the "Ark" from the depths of the starry sky, imprisoning the world-destroying "Guardian", had already been ignited! Their battle was far from over, as it entered an even vaster and more desperate battlefield - the sea of stars!
