Global Era of Star trekking

Chapter 1606: Chapter 797: Relic of Civilization (Part 2)

Not long after, a ripple suddenly appeared in the starry sky ahead, followed by a massive space vortex slowly taking shape, resembling a giant mouth opening in the universe, emitting a unique blue glow.

Song Chi stood in the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Control Room, his gaze fixed on the twisted space entrance ahead, sensing the strong spatial fluctuations emanating from deep within the vortex.

[Detected strong space node reaction, preliminary judgment: dimension space technology left by a high-rank technological civilization.]

This was a prompt from the Dome Sky Wisdom Brain.

Song Chi nodded slightly, "Interesting, a space node concealed so deeply should at least be the handiwork of an eighth-level civilization."

After muttering a sentence, he turned to the Communication Screen: "Since it’s confirmed, let’s head straight in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the warship engines roared to life, but before the warship shot forward, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong hatch opened first, releasing a Seventh Rank Truth Mechanical Giant Beast that charged ahead into the relic vortex entrance.

Even though Song Chi had previously used the [Heavenly Destiny Compass] to divine a fortune, which turned out to be moderately favorable, indicating little to no major danger, caution is never a bad thing.

The next second, the outer shields of both warships glowed brighter, a sign that the Energy Shield was receiving additional support.

With the engines roaring, both ships slowly sailed into the twisted space vortex.

Upon entering the vortex, Song Chi felt a slight dizziness, a common reaction to space traversal, but given his current strength, such a degree of space distortion was insufficient to affect him.

Once his vision cleared, the scene before him made even the well-versed Song Chi raise his eyebrows slightly.

This was a massive spatial labyrinth, countless hexagonal space modules arranged like a beehive, each module moving slowly, forming a constantly shifting network of corridors. The connectors between modules flashed with a blue energy barrier, clearly not something one could navigate at will.

"Spatial array labyrinth..." Song Chi whispered, "And it’s dynamically changing."

Song Bei’s voice came through, noticeably shocked: "Chi Ancestor, our Sky Patrol Radar seems to have failed; the space structure here keeps reorganizing!"

Song Chi didn’t respond immediately; instead, he closed his eyes, feeling the flow of Space Law around him. Moments later, he opened his eyes, a smile tugging at his lips.

"Follow my trajectory," he briefly commanded.

The [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong] began moving, navigating the maze in a seemingly random way.

Song Bei’s [Northern Star River] followed closely, both warships occasionally advancing, retreating, and sometimes spinning in place, resembling a complex space dance.

"Chi Ancestor, what is this..." Song Bei couldn’t help but ask.

"The rhythm of Space Law," Song Chi explained, "Each module movement has a pattern. As long as you grasp the nodes of space fluctuations, you can find the correct path."

For ordinary living beings, achieving this might be incredibly challenging, but Song Chi was different. Not only did he master the Perfect Space Law, which had reached the Law Path level, but his Double Pupils were enough to decipher everything.

Thus, the two warships navigated through the maze array, until they were about to pass through the central area of the labyrinth, when suddenly, an unexpected change occurred.

A massive mechanical construct emerged from the maze walls, humanoid in shape but made of countless flowing and reorganizing silver metal plates, causing its form to continuously transform.

[Warning, detected presence of an external high-intensity energy entity.] The Dome Sky Wisdom Brain immediately issued an alert.

The mechanical construct’s "head" lit up with two red lights, as a cold voice echoed through the space:

[Unauthorized entrants, leave immediately. Repeat, leave immediately. Otherwise, this relic will initiate the purge program.]

Song Chi narrowed his eyes, "Relic Guardian?"

"Chi Ancestor, this seems to be a Seventh Rank Peak-level entity!" Song Bei also reported, though his eyes showed no worry, for this was the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong in action, not the Star-Annihilating Starships from the clan.

Seeing that the two warships did not respond, the Guardian’s arms transformed into two giant Alloy Blades:

[Final warning, countdown begins, ten, nine... three, two, one!]

As the countdown ended, the Guardian vanished from its original position, suddenly appearing above the [Beiming], slashing down with the Alloy Blades.

"Retreat!" Song Chi shouted.

The [Northern Star River] dodged urgently, but still sustained a massive gash on its right hull, and the Warship Armor was instantly damaged by 32%. Cold sweat beaded on Song Bei’s forehead, as this was the result of prior evasion. If the strike had been head-on, the Northern Star River might have been cleaved in two.

However, by this time, the [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong] had arrived, completely dispelling its crisis.

The surface of the [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong] quickly manifested countless Mysterious silver patterns, which rapidly transformed into a silver Heavenly Prison Chain, shooting directly at the Relic Guardian.

[Space Lock Seal]

With the activation of this component, the Heavenly Prison Chain shot out at incredible speed, precisely entwining the Relic Guardian, halting its imminent jump, forcibly immobilizing it in place.

Then, the Warship Main Cannon fired simultaneously, several beams striking directly at the Guardian.
