"The steering wheel can't be moved?" This was something that surprised everyone. The old-fashioned wooden steering wheel was huge, but it didn't look difficult to turn.
“That means there are special rules that restrict it. Without finding the corresponding rules, it will never be able to be turned!” Noah said in a deep voice. Clearly, nothing on the ghost ship can be manipulated at will.
Upon hearing his words, no one uttered a sound. Apart from the low growls of the Dark Executioners in the darkness, the control room fell into a brief silence. After a while, Ye Jun raised his hand and hurled a blazing fireball at the steering wheel, burning it to ashes.
"Do you know what the biggest difference is between you, or your races, and the other races of the prehistoric world?" Ye Jun chuckled, and the others couldn't help but smile faintly upon hearing this.
"You are willing to follow the rules, but we are more willing to break the rules, or even create them!" After Ye Jun finished speaking, his body suddenly shone with scorching light, and terrifying solar power poured out, illuminating the entire cabin little by little.
"Bring out your golden feathers; they will protect you from the scorching sun!" Fuxi said to the sixth-tier clansmen. The three-legged golden crow is the embodiment of the sun; its light and heat are indiscriminate, regardless of friend or foe. Without special protection, even they themselves would be burned to ashes.
Upon hearing his words, everyone took out the golden feathers that Ye Jun had given them earlier. The intense light and heat were almost unbearable even for the angels who wielded light.
Noah retreated a step back with a grim expression. The scorching sun was unbearable for him as a soul.
The intense light gradually dispelled the darkness in the control room. Everything that the light knew was as bright as day. There seemed to be a clear dividing line between the light and the darkness, which was slowly pushing towards the darkness.
"The night has passed, and the day is coming!" Zhulong's voice rang out, and everyone felt the surrounding space brighten, as if a pair of eyes had opened and a ray of morning light had arrived.
Both the three-legged golden crow and the candle dragon are gods who wield light. When the two of them acted together, the darkness dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and one after another, the hideous dark executioners were exposed to the sunlight, their faces full of fear and anger.
"Boom~~~" The surrounding wooden objects burned in the flames, yet under the protection of the immortal attribute, they were constantly repaired, endlessly repeating the cycle of destruction and rebirth.
The Dark Executioners obviously couldn't withstand such high temperatures either. Even as demigods, they were ultimately maggots living in darkness, and under the intense light, they even had trouble seeing.
"Roar!" Forced by the raging flames, the Dark Executioners had nowhere to retreat and charged towards Ye Jun and the others one by one.
However, at this moment, they not only lost the concealment of the darkness, but were also exposed to the scorching sun, which greatly weakened their strength, making them only able to exert one or two tenths of their power.
Such strength was no match for Ye Jun and the others. Even the strongest late-stage seventh-tier leader was easily slapped away by Zhulong.
Noah and the many angels stared in astonishment at the scene before them. As expected of someone who dared to break the rules! However, doing so was of no use. Even if all the Dark Executioners were killed, the steering wheel could not be turned, and the ghost ship's course could not be changed. Surely they couldn't just burn the entire ghost ship down? Noah did not believe that the Three-Legged Golden Crow and the Candle Dragon had such power, although they were indeed top-notch in the arts of fire and light.
"What's next? Should we just charge in?" As the Dark Executioners were successively slain, Taishan asked excitedly. He had never fought such a satisfying battle before. One coward after another rushed up to him to kill, making him feel like a god descended to earth, possessing the courage to hold off ten thousand men...
"Kill what? Do you think we're here to kill monsters? Go try the steering wheel, try different powers. If that doesn't work, we'll just burn this ghost ship down!" Ye Jun said magnanimously. Unlike Noah's pessimism, he genuinely had this idea. The True Sun Fire was the most yang fire in the world. Even if the ghost ship had immortal attributes and was blessed with divine power, it would be difficult to extinguish it. Burning the ghost ship was not impossible.
Of course, this is only a last resort. It's different from burning down a control room. The ghost ship is as big as half a planet. Burning it down would be exhausting. If there's a chance, it's best to find the right method. Breaking the rules is also a very difficult thing.
"Alright!" Taishan nodded helplessly, clearly still feeling a bit unsatisfied. He went to the steering wheel, where a new one had been repaired. As long as Ye Jun's burning continued, the recovery speed of the immortal attributes was still quite fast.
Grasping the steering wheel, Taishan forcefully spun it around. To everyone's astonishment, the steering wheel actually began to turn slowly with him. However, this rotation did not seem to last long. When Taishan released his grip, the steering wheel slowly returned to its original position, and the ghost ship's direction did not deviate at all.
"It seems we forcibly took control of the steering wheel from the Dark Executioners, but there might not be just one steering wheel here!" Fuxi said, frowning as he looked out at the darkness.
Previously, even destroying it wouldn't turn it, but with the death of all the Dark Executioners, they suddenly regained the ability to turn the steering wheel. It can only be described as a change in control authority. Although the rules behind this are unknown, it doesn't prevent them from succeeding.
However, this ghost ship is enormous, and the main cabin has a large number of rooms, so there can't be just one control room. They need to find other control rooms and regain control of them as well, and perhaps then they can truly take control of this ghost ship.
Moreover, it would be a bit too much to ask to control such a huge ghost ship with just a steering wheel. If that were the case, how could the steering wheel be removed so easily?
"You guys go try it too, see if the steering wheel can turn now?" Without rushing to reply to Fuxi, Ye Jun said to the sixth-tier familiars. If there really was more than one control room, then relying on just a few demigods wouldn't be enough.
Fortunately, perhaps the rules really do apply to teams. The two angels also managed to turn the steering wheel, but the result was the same as with Mount Tai. When they released the steering wheel, it slowly turned back to its original position.
