Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2485 Stacked Objects

It's a guaranteed deathrattle, and it's even headlocked.

They gained a lot in a short period of time, but the situation also deteriorated.

The three brain jellyfish left behind three times the power of the Star Dismemberment Technique, with no sign of being able to dispel it.

It's fortunate that the King of Abandoned Prison is in high spirits; someone with weaker physical condition probably wouldn't be able to take such a leisurely stroll.

All I can say is that the Ash Sea is indeed dangerous.

In the blink of an eye, the third stargazer, who had been acting as the guide, had also perished. With a sigh, Fu Qian continued forward.

As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold, and these three dying words are also three unfulfilled wishes.
As fellow academics, how could we possibly stop progressing because of this?

What dangers lie at the crash site? This is becoming increasingly intriguing.

So what we need to find next is a twelve-sided hourglass—hiss!

At one point, Fu Qian turned his head and his gaze fell once again on the wall beside him.

This time there's a way out, even if it's horizontal.

The deeper you go, the more you seem to feel that chaos.

The wall in front of me felt like a crumpled piece of paper that had been violently squeezed.

Fu Qian certainly didn't find any patterns, notes, or dragon language on the wall. The reason he stopped was simple: he seemed to have disturbed a new jellyfish.

Click!

The door, whose structure was almost completely deformed, was forcibly pushed open the next moment.

What followed was not a corridor, but a sunken platform.

It's clear that it was originally supposed to be round, but it has obviously been damaged. It's been kneaded and tilted, and it's almost become a triangle.

In one of the corners, the fourth stargazer was already in place, shining brightly—

Then number five...

And number six...

Number 7...

At a glance, there were countless brain jellyfish, a full double number, clustered together around a giant hourglass.

The latter had long been damaged, revealing its complex internal structure and glass-like sand.

Unfortunately, before I could even say hello, the jellyfish had already stirred up waves, and as they moved rhythmically one after another, star patterns flashed on their heads.

……

Are there not even opportunities to communicate?

It must be said that although that moment wasn't particularly spectacular, the interplay of stars in the star map gave it a strange sense of sacredness.

It has nothing to do with faith in gods or anything like that; it's simply a kind of wisdom that looks up to the stars, allowing one to instantly experience the romance of stargazing.

Of course, while the visual effects are great, the pressure of such a scene where you immediately unleash a death sentence upon meeting someone is suffocating.

This group of brain jellyfish seemed to be even more unstable than the previous three, and they immediately experienced a mass stress response simply by sensing an intruder.

As for the reason—this place is off-limits to outsiders?

Criticizing someone for lacking martial ethics is utterly pointless.

The moment he noticed this scene, Fu Qian pondered the reason behind it.

A more intuitive conclusion is that it's a matter of location.

On one hand, this place has a rather unique feel to it, exuding the air of a secretive and important location. If you imagine the jellyfish as former stargazers, you can almost picture them gathering here, discussing academic issues.

On the other hand, the special hourglass seemed to have extraordinary significance and matched what the third stargazer said.

Is this the crash site...?

As a contestant who has abandoned aesthetic prejudices, Fu Qian has not only adapted to the shapes of the jellyfish along the way, but has even combined his knowledge of biology to try to deduce which side of them is the front.

Although it was just a casual act, my curiosity has been rewarded.

You can see that although the jellyfish are clustered around the hourglass, at the moment they are disturbed, the direction they are facing is not the hourglass, nor each other, but a completely different direction: a pile of objects on the platform.

Yes, in my opinion, this is the only word that best describes it.

Although it's messy, it's hard to mistake it for a pile of trash that's been carelessly thrown there.

The main body of those objects is a cylinder whose specific purpose is difficult to determine.

The larger ones are large enough to be used as decorative items in some buildings.

However, its overly plain and unadorned surface seems to contradict its intended purpose.

Those that were not up to standard in size were sometimes even bent over, with one end sharp like a thorn.

That pile consisted of just a few things, plus a few other miscellaneous items, intertwined in a rather flamboyant manner.

In addition, the subtle sense of regularity it contained reminded Fu Qian of the first time he saw the cloud room.

In short, they occupy a significant portion of the platform, and the actual interior view is completely obscured.

According to the initial assessment, the jellyfish were collectively watching that spot.

……

Beside the twelve-faced hourglass, the calculated drop point is off; unauthorized personnel are not permitted to enter...

It must be said that many of its features seem to match up, making people more interested in what lies beneath the stacked objects.

Getting there doesn't seem to be an easy task.

After a brief period of brilliance came silence. Fu Qian's arrival seemed to disturb the last vestiges of tranquility in this place, and the backlash it brought was enormous.

The dismemberment power induced by the double-digit star chart was not diminished in the slightest by the excitement; at that moment, it all came crashing down on them with a soul-locking tracking ability.

The pressure suddenly increased dramatically, and even the King of Abandoned Prison could no longer turn a blind eye.

laugh!
The scene from the past is being reenacted, with an arm that has been stretched and deformed—not an arm at all.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the part that was pulled off the body no longer resembles a human limb; instead, it transforms into a tentacle with a distinctly mollusk-like appearance.

Even the biological feel on it isn't very strong; the regular geometric shapes, the somewhat cold and hard lines, and the seamless joints fully highlight what mechanical beauty is.

Not just the King of Abandoned Prisons, but even a mechanical remake.

Faced with the conflicting opinions of the stars, Fu Qian chose to return to simplicity and abandon some unnecessary embellishments.

This certainly doesn't diminish the power of dismemberment; in fact, due to the arbitrary shape, the efficiency of the body being pulled and deformed is even increased.

In the blink of an eye, Fu Qian's body seemed to be unleashing a powerful attack with thousands of tentacles, making it difficult to find any trace of humanity.

But it didn't matter; at that moment, he said he actually found this form quite comfortable.

With a tearing motion, it landed on the platform and moved step by step toward the "stacked objects".

Given that the tearing of the stars continued without interruption, a strange phenomenon emerged—

Fu Qian looked like a piece of syrup being stretched; with each step she took, her pose became more unrestrained and expansive.

But despite the impending tear, it just wouldn't break. With this more casual look, Fu Qian truly walked step by step toward her goal.
