Chapter 299 It turns out to be the captain of our own security team
"Your Majesty."
Chu Xuanyi also discovered Xiao Yu's predicament. He threw out all the talismans on his body as if they were free. However, as soon as those colorful talisman papers flew out, they lost all their spirituality in the distorted space and turned into a pile of waste paper that floated away.
"Damn it, the suppression of the laws, this is completely suppression at the level of the laws." Chu Xuanyi gritted his teeth, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "Looks like I can only fight with all my strength."
He was about to burn his soul regardless of the consequences and forcibly use forbidden techniques to break the blockade of this space, but a soft and cold little hand gently pressed his arm.
"Sir, don't be impulsive."
It’s Ajiu.
"Ajiu, you..."
"let me."
Ajiu said softly, and then did something that scared Chu Xuanyi to death.
She took the initiative to disperse the thin layer of protective magic power that Chu Xuanyi had managed to maintain around her, and walked towards the huge guardian spirit without any defense.
"Ajiu, come back."
Xiao Yu, who was trapped by the time delay, roared with all his strength.
"Ajiu, you are crazy, come back quickly." Chu Xuanyi shouted anxiously and wanted to rush over to pull her back, but the chaotic space prevented him from moving even a step.
Ah Jiu seemed not to hear their shouts and did not pause at all.
She looked directly at the energy giant, without a trace of fear in her purple eyes.
She stimulated the blood in her body.
"Buzz."
In an instant, an aura that originated from the same source as this bronze observatory burst out from Ajiu's petite body.
At the same time, a purple mark between her smooth eyebrows slowly bloomed like a flower.
The mark was shaped like a closed eye, or a key, covered with patterns of laws and emitting a faint purple glow.
The moment this mark appeared, the entire turbulent world suddenly became quiet.
Hundreds of space cracks that were strong enough to tear everything apart came to an abrupt end less than three feet away from Ajiu, and the time delay that imprisoned Xiao Yu also receded like the tide.
All the violent power of the laws became extremely docile at this moment.
The guardian spirit also stopped attacking, and its huge body even trembled slightly.
Xiao Yu and Chu Xuanyi were both stunned.
"This...what is going on?" Chu Xuanyi asked stutteringly. He felt that his brain was not enough.
Xiao Yu did not answer him, his eyes were fixed on Ajiu.
The guardian spirit, which was dozens of feet tall, "stared" at Ajiu quietly for a moment, then slowly bent down towards Ajiu.
Its huge head stopped in front of Ajiu, making a standard gesture of submission.
Chu Xuanyi's jaw almost dropped to the ground. He rubbed his eyes hard and pinched his thigh hard.
"Hiss, it hurts."
"I'm not dreaming. This big guy... really saluted Ah Jiu." He muttered to himself, feeling that the worldview he had built up in his life was completely crushed today.
"So... that's how it is." A hint of enlightenment flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes.
The guardian spirit never protected the observatory itself, but rather the legacy of the "Star Watcher" who possessed this bloodline mark.
Ajiu was the first and only owner it welcomed.
Chu Xuanyi felt that all the shocks he had ever suffered in his life combined were not as many as today.
He stared blankly at the huge energy body that had forced them into a desperate situation. At this moment, it was like a docile large dog, respectfully bowing to Ajiu. His entire brain was in a state of shutdown.
"No, wait a minute, let me slow down." He raised his hand and made a pause gesture, looking at Xiao Yu with a blank face. "Your Highness, pinch me, let me see if I'm dreaming. This... this gatekeeper, it just... surrendered like that."
Xiao Yu ignored his nonsense. He took a step forward and reached out to gently brush away a strand of messy hair from Ajiu's forehead.
"You already knew that." He used a statement, not a question.
Jiu nodded, then shook his head and explained in a low voice, "I just felt that its breath was very familiar and kind, like... like a family member I haven't seen for a long time, but I didn't know it would be like this."
She herself was a little at a loss, and it was a strange feeling to see this big guy in front of her paying such a great tribute to her.
"Family," Chu Xuanyi's mouth twitched. "Ajiu, your family is really tough. As soon as we met, you almost wiped out the two of us."
As he complained, he cautiously moved closer and waved tentatively at the guardian spirit.
"Um... hello, big brother. It was all a misunderstanding just now. The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple."
The guardian spirit did not react at all. There were neither eyes nor mouth on its smooth face. It still maintained an attitude of submission to Ajiu, as if there was nothing else in the whole world except Ajiu.
"Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything." Chu Xuanyi got himself into trouble and retreated angrily.
At this moment, the huge body of the guardian spirit slowly stood up, and it stretched out its palm and gently waved it between them and the main body of the observatory.
A long, dazzling bridge made of pure starlight appeared out of thin air, firmly connecting their location with the central platform at the core of the observatory.
"This is... paving the way for us," Chu Xuanyi observed in amazement. "Such treatment! Just now they were about to fight and kill us, but now they've even rolled out the red carpet. Bloodline truly holds sway."
Xiao Yu didn't say anything. He took Ajiu's hand and was the first to step onto the bridge of stars.
The bridge deck is very solid, with flowing stars underfoot and deep void all around, giving people the illusion of walking in the universe.
The three of them walked across the long bridge and finally set foot on the core area of this ancient creation that had been silent for who knows how many tens of thousands of years.
This is an extremely large circular platform with a huge star map engraved on the ground. In the center of the platform stands a strange stone about one person tall, like obsidian.
It looks plain and without any luster, but it naturally becomes the center of the entire platform.
"This should be the main control room," Chu Xuanyi looked around, his eyes filled with curiosity and shock. "That black stone is probably the main switch."
As he spoke, he was eager to go forward and touch it.
"Don't touch it." Xiao Yu glanced at him coldly, and he quickly retracted his hand in fright.
"I'm just curious." Chu Xuanyi muttered softly.
"Brother Xiongxiong." Jiu gently tugged at Xiao Yu's sleeve, her eyes never leaving the black hub stone. "It's... calling me."
Xiao Yu nodded and said softly, "Go, we are here with you."
Encouraged, Jiu took a deep breath and walked forward slowly, gently placing his hand on the cold hub stone.
"Buzz..."
The purple mark between Ah Jiu's eyebrows, which had disappeared before, reappeared, emitting a brilliant light. The power of the tomb keeper's bloodline in her body flowed madly along her arm into the black pivot stone.
In an instant, the entire observatory, which had been silent for a thousand years, came alive.
Starting from the central hub stone, the huge star map on the ground was lit up one by one, and countless silver rays of light spread rapidly along the ancient lines, like awakened dragon veins rushing towards every corner of the observatory.
The three of them only felt a slight vibration under their feet, and the entire bronze giant made a "cracking" sound, as if countless dusty mechanisms were returning to their positions.
Immediately afterwards, an even more shocking scene occurred.
The endless void directly above the observatory darkened without any warning. It was not the ordinary darkness, but a pure and extreme darkness that could even swallow up the light.
The next second, countless points of light lit up on the dark curtain.
Those were not the stars they saw in their daily lives, but billions of extremely real and dazzling stars. Their sizes, brilliance, and colors were different. Some formed gorgeous galaxies, and some turned into magnificent nebulae. They appeared so clearly above their heads and were within reach.
