Chapter 159: Reunion

After acquiring the 14th divine gene, Li Yi's total divinity amounted to almost 23.

Although this number is just Li Yi's estimate.

But combined with his understanding of the actual combat performance of each upper-level mecha master, his estimate is still very accurate.

"Although we were able to use the magnetic explosion characteristics to simulate the effect of repulsion before, it was still difficult to control. Now that we have the repulsion characteristics, we can improve the propulsion efficiency of the gravity thruster."

"When I use the Kite Step with my physical body, I can also use it to exert a stronger vertical speed and turning speed, which is not bad."

After a brief summary in his mind, Li Yi came up with various ideas on how to use the repulsive characteristics.

If you add it to the divine fighting skills, you basically only need to try it a little before you can apply it in actual combat.

If it is added to various long-range divine skills, or divine skills like puppet manipulation, it will take some time to train and adapt.

"There are still two hidden dangers that need to be dealt with. One is the fragment of the seal of the divine out-of-body control technique; the other is the remaining understanding of the realm of force like flowing water."

Li Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.

He obtained a total of 10 seal fragments in the Puppet Tower, eight of which were obtained by defeating his opponents, and the other two were the seal fragments left after the ideological seal was worn away.

Deep within each fragment, there are mysterious thoughts from the ruins, which are quite dangerous.

Fortunately, the stamp fragments are both a source of danger and a protector.

With the seal fragments in place, the mysterious thoughts would not rashly break out and corrode his soul.

But the temptation is always there. The thing is there, and you can't guarantee that one day you won't be able to resist the temptation, or you may have been through a war, be mentally exhausted, and have a weak will, and accidentally take one or two pills.

"Xu Weilu has reached level five and obtained four. Together with the thought stamps for entering and leaving the game, there are a total of six. She should have digested four or three. There should be a few more mysterious thoughts in her soul, so we can't be careless."

Li Yi knew that even though Xu Weilu was in good condition now, he had secretly asked Jiang Chaoqun and Liang Zhishen to pay more attention to Xu Weilu's condition.

If anything abnormal occurs, take it down immediately, block the action first, and then provide treatment.

Therefore, the most urgent task, in addition to resolving the crisis of the A-class mecha that may be controlled by the ruins at any time, is to quickly figure out the relevant knowledge of virtual reality and use this thing to separate those mysterious thoughts.

However, since even Xiaozhuang couldn’t do it, Li Yi knew that it would probably be difficult for him too.

Unfortunately, he did not take the virtual mother machine he had obtained in the Tianshu ruins too seriously, and instead handed it over to the Yaochi ship's war merit library as one of the items to be exchanged for war merits.

"However, virtual mother machines are basically the product of modern technology. They are not in the same system as ancient technology. They do not contain divine power. I may not be able to obtain the corresponding cracked memory by sleeping."

While thinking, Li Yi dialed the pilot's long communication and said, "The starship will leave Planet 33 first. We will wait in the outer orbit to avoid any safety risks."

"receive."

On the side, several other people in the cockpit were still gathered there discussing. Hearing the voice, Liang Zhishen walked forward, leaned over the conversation window in the cockpit and asked:

"Li Yi, are you sure you don't want to stay at the entrance of the ruins to guard it?"

Li Yi said: "Even if we kill the Thunderbird mecha, it will only be a short-term victory. I estimate that if the mysterious thoughts in the ruins still have some power left, they will definitely not allow us to get away with it. They will definitely awaken other A-class mechas to hunt us down."

"So, we need to go to outer space for a while and stay out of the spotlight."

On the side, Teng Juli also came over and said in surprise:

"Li Yi, although we are all worried about this possibility, why are you so sure? Have you seen something?"

Li Yi said: "First of all, there are at least 10 A-class mechas in reserve."

"The reason why I am so sure is because I saw traces of at least 10 A-class mechas and 20 B-class mechas produced in the ruins before, and they were produced within the last thirty years."

"Referring to the situation of the Thunderbird mecha, the mysterious idea is most likely to transform ordinary-level wild evolvers into disposable pilots of B-class mechas, while the wild evolvers at the peak of the initial position are disposable pilots of A-class mechas."

"Among them, I have just confirmed the traces produced in the past six months, and one of them is highly consistent with the Thunderbird mecha."

Liang Zhishen touched his earlobe and thought: "In other words, the Thunderbird mecha was originally produced from this heritage site?"

Li Yi said: "It is very likely. Moreover, judging from the activity traces in the past six months, there are still three A-level machines. Therefore, it is very likely that after the Thunderbird Mech loses control, the other party will try to activate the other three."

"Of course, considering that we can only rely on one Thunderbird mecha before, it means that even if the other party can activate the other three, the cost will probably be high."

"But since we have already caused such great damage, we can no longer consider the possibility that the other side will not attack us."

Liang Zhishen nodded and said:

"That makes sense. Since we are already in a life-and-death situation, we must not trust the other party's mercy or their lack of strength."

As he said that, he turned to the pilot and said, "In that case, pilot, please speed up as much as possible and get away from Planet 33 as soon as possible."

Now that he had started talking, Li Yi said:

"By the way, I have just checked the list of Zheng's evolvers in the past thirty years, and there are basically no people who look like the Thunderbird pilot."

Hearing this, the people who followed were a little surprised.

Xu Weilu pondered and said, "The driver looks about 50% to 60% similar to Bian Longwan. What's going on? Since he is not on the list, it excludes the possibility of being a descendant. Could it be a clone as Jiang Chaoqun said?"

Li Yi said: "It's hard to say. If that mysterious thought really has related abilities, it's probably not as simple as cloning. It may be a sequence characteristic related to the God of Life."

After some discussion, everyone went into training.

The gravity multiples brought by the starship's acceleration are naturally nothing to everyone.

Instead, you can take advantage of this natural opportunity to exercise.

As for Li Yi, he decided to take out Xiaozhuang's information and study it.

For others, this period of time may be a last-minute effort.

But given Li Yi's already solid academic foundation, as long as he starts to ponder, he will soon be able to acquire relevant memories and enhance his understanding.

By then, there may be a chance to create a function to separate the stamp and hide the thoughts.

In fact, Li Yi’s dream plain may not be unable to do this.

But that was Li Yi’s foundation after all, and he didn’t want to take any risks here.

Since you can think of other solutions, there is no need to add risks to yourself.

Who knows the true lethality of that mysterious thought? ...

In the blink of an eye, 5 hours passed.

At this moment, the starship has already arrived in the outer orbit of Planet 33 and is orbiting, waiting to depart.

In the cockpit, Liang Zhishen dialed Li Yi's personal number:

"I'm afraid your training will have to end early. Be prepared to activate the divine mecha at any time!"

Li Yi woke up from the dream plain and replied: "What's going on?"

Liang Zhishen said in a deep voice:

"The surveillance camera detected an A-class mecha and five B-class mechas on the ground, flying straight towards our starship."

"What should we do, flee, or fight?"

Li Yi said: "What size is A-level?"

Liang Zhishen said: "Class A is 177 meters, and Class B is around 85 meters. We just touched the edge."

Li Yi said decisively: "Escape! We will never be able to resist this kind of power configuration. Adjust the direction to Planet 29 and hide there first."

Their starships are fragile. Not to mention the B-level ones, even the D-level divine energy cannons can sweep them away.

If you want to fight, you have to use all nine divine mechas.

But when they faced an A-class Thunderbird mecha before, it required the combined efforts of eight mechas.

No matter how you think about it, this configuration is a losing game.

Unless the opponent is a weak A-level, only a little over 145 meters long, but obviously, it is not.

Liang Zhishen had also done his homework and knew the situation of the surrounding star map. He immediately understood Li Yi's plan: "Are you planning to use the small meteorite belt around Planet 29 to avoid pursuit? Got it."

He turned around and told the pilot, "Captain, fly at full speed towards Planet 29!"

The size of Planet 29 is comparable to that of Saturn in the solar system, and it is one of the largest planets in the inner circle of the Dust Corridor.

The small meteorite belt outside it orbits Planet 29 and is very dense.

If those divine mechas refuse to give up and insist on continuing to chase them, then the small meteorite belt will be the best battlefield.

It can weaken the opponent's encirclement attack power with the greatest efficiency, which is most suitable.

On the outskirts of the bare Planet No. 33, the starship began to spew out a large amount of propulsion flames, like a meteor, and began to accelerate in another direction.

About a few minutes later, six divine mechas soared into the sky and arrived in the outer sky. They stayed for a moment and then accelerated in the direction of the starship.

In the cockpit, Liang Zhishen observed the observation data on the far-side detection system, narrowed his eyes, and gritted his teeth and said, "Are you ready to fight to the death?"

Teng Juli said: "It must have cost a lot for the mysterious thoughts in the ruins to awaken and control so many divine mechas. If they let us go, they would probably be unwilling to do so."

Liang Zhishen said: "No matter what, let's get ready to start. The other party is accelerating very fast and will chase us at all costs. We can't avoid it."

The Divine Mecha's thrusters, when they reach level B or above, have a very high level of efficiency. With continued acceleration, their efficiency is far higher than that of a starship.

Especially in the space environment, there is no resistance and the material of the mecha is hard enough.

As long as the thrusters are continuously activated, without turning or hitting any obstacles, the speed can be increased almost infinitely.

The reason why they rely on starships for flight is mainly for endurance considerations.

After all, even if these superior mecha masters of theirs stimulated the divine acceleration at all costs, they could only sustain it for an hour or two at most, and then they had to stop accelerating and rely on inertia to fly.

During this period, you will need to rest for the same or even longer period of time to relieve the load and restore your divinity.

In this way, it is obviously impossible for the divine mecha to approach the level of 0.1 or 0.2 light speed by accelerating for several hours or even days like a starship.

Therefore, it is basically impossible for a B-class divine mecha to cross the distance between planets in a short period of time.

It will take at least ten days, or even more.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Therefore, in space travel, except for the powerful celestial beings, other mecha pilots cannot achieve long-distance and short-time interstellar travel relying solely on divine mechas.

But obviously, those opponents from the ruins are exceptions.

Their pilots are disposable. As long as they can still bear the load and inspire their divinity, they can continue to accelerate and catch up with their starships.

The only drawback is that accelerating to the limit may directly cause their one-time drivers to be unable to bear the load, resulting in organ failure and physical collapse.

By then, it will be like sending treasures across thousands of miles.

Therefore, this is also a point of contention between the two sides.

It depends on whether they can catch up with the starship and kill Li Yi's team before their acceleration reaches its limit, or whether Li Yi's team can hold on until their disposable pilots collapse one after another and then start to fight back.

Liang Zhishen thought for a moment and reported their current situation to the Border Star Garrison Corps.

Across the quantum communication light curtain window was Xiaozhuang. He said solemnly, "Okay, I've learned about the situation. I'll tell the two Heavenly Rank experts, and they'll turn around and head towards you. It just so happens that your direction corresponds to yours, which can save them time to pick you up. Please be careful, and report any situation at any time!"

…

Seven hours since leaving Planet 33.

In the vast stardust corridor, ant-like starships fly at high speed between the planets.

The six divine mechas behind them were very close to them, only a thousand kilometers away.

On the scale of this vast universe, this distance can be reached by running and accelerating with the long-range detection system of the divine mecha.

Outside the starship hangar, nine divine mechas came out one after another, carrying the glory of tail flames, standing on the periphery of the starship. Their huge steel palms grasped the outer fixators and they crouched down to prevent themselves from being thrown away from the accelerated state.

Then, he turned around and, under Li Yi's command, kept the thruster's propulsion port parallel to the starship's propulsion port.

Then, fire up the thrusters!

Instantly, countless flames surged, and the starship's acceleration was instantly increased several times under such a fierce propulsion! Nine divine mechas over 70 meters high worked together to boost, and combined with the starship's own propulsion, the starship immediately left the six divine mechas behind.

In a short while, the distance was tens of thousands of kilometers!

Everyone in the cockpit breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge rock had been lifted off their feet.

Xu Weilu praised him generously and said, "I never thought that Li Yi, you actually have this hidden trick."

Li Yi smiled and said:

"Everyone, don't let your guard down. The group of divine mechas in the back have obviously not accelerated to the limit of their pilots. Now we will rotate in groups of three. Leave three here to continue accelerating, and the remaining six will go down to repair. We must prepare for a long-term battle with the enemy."

"Time is our friend. The longer they delay, the less able the bodies of those one-time pilots will be to withstand the stress. They will be on the verge of collapse at any time."

"When the time comes, it will be our turn to accept these A-class and B-class mechas."

When everyone thought about it, they felt happy.

At the moment, Teng Juli, Hu Yitong and Jiang Chaoqun were left as a group to continue accelerating the starship and increasing the distance.

Li Yi, Lin Xiaohu and Xu Weilu are in one group, and Liang Zhishen, Tan Haode and Zhang Pengting are in another group, so the strength is relatively balanced.

…

In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth hour since we left Planet 33.

Liang Zhishen's group, which was rotated in, soon discovered a new situation.

"It's a bit strange. I can't see the six divine mechas anymore. Have they given up?"

In the cockpit, Li Yi frowned and asked, "Instructor Zhang, how far is the range of your detection system?"

Zhang Pengting said: "I have increased the detection range to 100,000 kilometers. Although this will miss some details, I have scanned the area behind several times. There is no trace at all, not even the flame."

The detection system has a long range and, as long as there is no obstruction, it can theoretically be used as an ultra-powerful astronomical telescope.

Although a lot of visual details will be lost when driving at an altitude of 200,000 kilometers, overall, a target like the Divine Mecha will produce a huge amount of flames, which cannot be ignored in a space environment.

Li Yi pondered and said, "It seems that the other party has given up. This is strange. Just in case, we should not stop accelerating until we meet up with the powerful Tianwei who came to help."

Liang Zhishen pondered, "Is it possible that their pursuit was originally intended to drive us away and lure the tiger away from the mountain, and then they secretly moved the important items within the ruins?"

Li Yi shrugged and said, "Even so, there is nothing we can do. If we continue to stay in the ruins, we may gain something, but the risk of being wiped out is greater. Since I am your captain, it is my responsibility to take you out of here safely."

"Besides, they can run away, but they can't run away from the temple. As long as the ruins are still there, the mysterious thoughts will not be able to move all the important things away."

Liang Zhishen said: "That's right. Without people, even if you get resources and knowledge, it's meaningless."

At this point, the possibility of inheriting the relics is very high.

Although their team was unable to continue exploring and dig out enough resources and earn enough points to allow some people to squeeze into the top ten, at least they discovered the ruins and obtained the corresponding points.

Just like that, half an hour later, everyone received the communication signal from Lin Wendong. It took them more than ten minutes to get together, change direction, and return to Planet 33.

The starships they brought to support this wave were very large, at the level of small main ships, approximately two-thirds of the No. 18 cabin of the Yao Chi, which was enough to accommodate Li Yi and his team's small starship.

At this moment, everyone has moved the divine mecha out and placed it in the hangar inside the ship.

Lin Huiyi, who was frozen in ice, was transported out along with the hibernation capsule.

The two Heavenly Rank powerhouses were very efficient. They both stood in the hangar, waiting for everyone to eject from the cockpit and confirm the situation.

After a while, Lin Wendong listened to everyone's detailed explanation and said thoughtfully:

"They are quite strong, but with you, me and Lao Mu here, we are not afraid. Just kill them!"

Another Heavenly Rank expert, Mu Tianlei, also said in a chuckle: "That's right, we are not ordinary Heavenly Rank experts, we are not afraid at all!"

As he spoke, Lin Wendong walked up to Lin Huiyi and began to observe her.

After a long while, his face darkened and he shook his head.

"The study of the soul is profound and extensive. I can't tell what Lin Huiyi is going through at the moment."

Zhang Pengting asked: "Captain Lin, do you think Lin Huiyi can be saved now?"

Lin Wendong said: "It's hard to say, but Lin Huiyi's true self should still be there, but I'm not sure to what extent it has been eroded."

Mu Tianlei took a quick glance from a distance and didn't look at him again. Instead, he made a call to urge the medical soldiers to come and receive the wounded.

This time they set out earlier than before Lin Huiyi was attacked, but they did not bring any experts in the soul field with them.

Everyone was a little disappointed. It turned out that even a Heavenly Rank powerhouse couldn't handle this kind of soul erosion problem.

In fact, I had expected this, but now I heard Lin Wendong admit in person that he couldn't do it, and I felt a different mood after all.

Mu Tianlei looked at Li Yi and asked, "I heard from Xiaozhuang that you suggested using virtual reality to separate the mysterious thoughts?"

Li Yi didn't know what these strong men meant, but he nodded anyway.

Mu Tianlei said, "Your suggestion is very good. I once met Wu Huanling from your Yaochi ship and saw the virtual mother machine that can connect to dreams. I just don't know if this is the virtual mother machine you need?"

Li Yi was slightly startled and said, "In my imagination, it is true, but I don't know what Chief Mu meant by mentioning this?"

With his years of experience in absorbing memory fragments in dreams, he naturally learned knowledge related to dreams, and also knew roughly how to use the dream virtual mother machine to complete the corresponding separation operations.

Therefore, when he mentioned this to Xiaozhuang last time, he was so sure that the plan was feasible.

Mu Tianlei stared at Li Yi for a while, then slowly said:

"Perhaps, I know where Wu Huanling hid this virtual mother machine."
