Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 520

Yang Jian's energy lines slowly moved inside the altar, like a slender silver snake, carefully exploring every corner.

His brow furrowed slightly, his fingertips trembled gently, and he felt every fluctuation transmitted through the energy lines.

The altar's internal structure was more complex than he had imagined.

The energy lines touch many tiny nodes, each of which is like a lock that requires a specific frequency to unlock.

He adjusted the vibrations of the energy lines, trying to resonate with these nodes.

"These mechanisms... require energy of a specific frequency to be fully activated."

Yang Jian said in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity.

Upon hearing Yang Jian's words, Nezha took a step closer, his gaze wandering over the runes, his fingers lightly tapping the gun barrel, as if he were pondering something.

"Energy at a specific frequency?"

Nezha narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone tinged with doubt.

"Could these runes... be a clue?"

Yang Jian nodded, and with a light stroke of his finger in the air, silver runes flowed through the air, forming a complex energy network.

He was focused, as if he were having a silent conversation with the runes.

“Runes can certainly provide clues, but the order in which they are arranged is also important.”

He spoke in a low voice, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Sun Wukong stood to the side, his golden cudgel drooping slightly, his eyes fixed on the surroundings of the altar.

Hearing Yang Jian and Nezha's conversation, he grinned, a hint of relief in his voice:
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's give it a try!"

Yang Jian did not respond immediately, but continued to manipulate the energy lines, penetrating deeper into the altar.

His fingers trembled slightly as he adjusted the frequency of the energy lines, attempting to resonate with the mechanism.

The nodes within the altar gradually responded, emitting a faint humming sound, as if waiting for something.

At the same time, Nezha's gaze fell on the runes on the surface of the altar.

His fingers gently touched the runes, sensing the energy fluctuations they contained. A glint of light flashed in his eyes, as if he had discovered some kind of pattern.

"I'll try arranging these runes in the correct order."

Nezha said in a low voice, pressing his fingers lightly on the runes, pressing them in the order he had predicted.

The runes on the altar flickered slightly with his movements, emitting a low hum.

However, the mechanism was not fully activated, and the energy fluctuations did not subside.

"It seems that the order of the runes alone is not enough."

Nezha frowned, a hint of disappointment in his voice.

Sun Wukong walked to the other side of the altar, raised his golden cudgel slightly, and scanned his surroundings.

His gaze suddenly fell on a stone pillar, whose surface was covered with ancient runes, making it seem different from the other stone pillars.

"This stone pillar... seems to have something wrong with it."

Sun Wukong said in a low voice, tapping his fingers lightly on the stone pillar, producing a deep, resonant sound.

Upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, Yang Jian turned to look at the stone pillar.

His gaze swept across the stone pillar, sensing the unusual energy fluctuations emanating from it.

"Indeed, the energy fluctuations of this stone pillar are different from those of the other stone pillars."

Yang Jian said in a low voice, his tone tinged with wariness.

Sun Wukong grinned, and with a sudden flick of his golden cudgel, the tip of the cudgel struck the surface of the stone pillar.

The stone pillar emitted a deep hum, the resonance becoming more pronounced.

"It seems there's something hidden inside this stone pillar."

Sun Wukong said in a low voice, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

Yang Jian nodded, and with a light stroke of his finger in the air, silver runes flowed through the air, forming an energy line that slowly probed into the interior of the stone pillar, sensing the energy source hidden inside.

"There is a hidden energy slot at the base of the stone pillar."

Yang Jian said in a low voice, his tone thoughtful.

"Energy bar?"

Upon hearing this, Nezha took a step closer, slightly raising his Fire-Tipped Spear, the flame at the tip illuminating the base of the stone pillar.

He scanned the base of the stone pillar and indeed found a hidden groove.

"This energy bar... might be able to connect to a mechanism."

Nezha said in a low voice, his tone tinged with excitement.

Yang Jian did not respond immediately, but continued to manipulate the energy lines, probing into the energy tank. His fingers trembled slightly as he felt the faint energy fluctuations emanating from the energy tank.

"The energy bar can indeed be connected to the mechanism, but it requires a specific method."

Yang Jian said in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity.

Sun Wukong grinned, scratched his head, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes:
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's give it a try!"

Yang Jian nodded, and with a light stroke of his finger in the air, silver runes flowed through the air, forming an energy line that slowly connected the energy tank to the mechanism.

The runes on the altar flickered slightly with his movements, and the energy fluctuations gradually stabilized.

As Sun Wukong watched the runes on the altar gradually stabilize, he shouted excitedly and slammed his golden cudgel heavily into the ground, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

The surrounding rocks shook, and dust flew everywhere.

Nezha and Yang Jian were startled by the sudden tremor and instinctively took a step back.

Yang Jian frowned, gently brushed the dust off his sleeve, and said in a deep voice:

"Be gentle, don't shake the altar down."

Although his tone carried a hint of reproach, his eyes also showed a sense of relief, after all, the mechanism had been activated and everything was developing in the expected direction.

Nezha carefully observed the changes in the runes on the altar, his expression focused. He put away his Fire-Tipped Spear and stood quietly to the side.

“These runes… seem to be some kind of energy circuit.”

He muttered to himself, his eyes never leaving the altar, as if trying to discern some clue from the complex arrangement of runes.

Yang Jian walked to Nezha's side and stood beside him, the two of them observing the runes on the altar together.

The runes at the center of the altar were slowly rotating, emitting a soft light, and a peculiar energy fluctuation emanated from the altar, enveloping the entire space.

"This energy fluctuation... seems somewhat familiar."

Yang Jian spoke softly, his brows furrowing slightly as he recalled the various energy fluctuations he had encountered in the past.

He reached out and touched the energy emanating from the altar, feeling its properties; his fingers trembled slightly.

As soon as Yang Jian's fingers touched the energy fluctuations of the altar, he felt a slight tremor. His fingertips tightened slightly, and he withdrew his hand, a look of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

"This energy fluctuation is very similar to the aura I felt on the bronze box before, but it seems to be more ancient and more complex."

He spoke in a low voice, his tone thoughtful. Upon hearing this, Nezha frowned slightly, his gaze returning to the runes on the altar.

He reached out and tentatively ran his hand along the edge of the rune, feeling a faint energy flow through his fingertips.

"The arrangement of these runes does not seem to be a simple energy circuit, but more like a kind of seal."

He said in a low voice, his tone tinged with doubt.

Sun Wukong stood to one side, gently turning his golden cudgel in his hand, the golden light from the tip of the cudgel sweeping across every corner of the altar.

"A seal? Could something be sealed inside this altar?"

His tone carried a hint of excitement, as if he were completely unconcerned about the unknown dangers.

Yang Jian did not answer immediately, but instead carefully observed every detail of the altar.

His gaze slowly moved from the runes to the bottom of the altar, where there was a tiny groove, almost completely obscured by the altar's shadow.

"That groove..."

He muttered to himself, then quickly walked to the other side of the altar, squatted down, and gently touched the edge of the groove with his fingers.

"What did you find?"

Nezha followed closely behind, the flames illuminating the outline of the groove.

Yang Jian frowned slightly and said in a low voice:
"The design of this groove is clearly intended to work with a specific energy source. If we can find an energy source that matches the groove, we might be able to further activate the altar's power."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong grinned and swung his golden cudgel sharply, the golden light at the tip of the cudgel pointing directly at the groove.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's quickly find a way to get this energy source out!"

Yang Jian shook his head, his tone tinged with caution:
"We cannot act rashly. The power of this altar is extremely complex, and the slightest carelessness could lead to unpredictable consequences."

Nezha nodded to the side and looked at the runes on the altar again.

“Yang Jian is right, we must proceed with caution. The arrangement of these runes seems to conceal some kind of pattern. If we can decipher the secrets of these runes, perhaps we can safely activate the altar.”

Yang Jian stood up, and with a light stroke of his finger in the air, silver runes flowed through the air, forming a thin energy line that slowly probed into the depths of the altar.

His brow furrowed slightly as he sensed the complex energy structure inside the altar.

"There seems to be a core mechanism inside this altar that controls the flow of the entire energy field."

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Nezha's eyes.

He lightly pressed his finger on the edge of the rune, and the rune's faint light flickered slightly with his movement.

"If we can find this core mechanism, we might be able to completely control the power of the altar."

Sun Wukong stood to the side, staring intently at the center of the altar.

"Core organs? Where are they?"

Yang Jian did not answer immediately, but continued to manipulate the energy lines, delving deeper into the altar.

His fingers trembled slightly as he felt the energy lines touching tiny nodes inside the altar.

"These nodes... seem to be key to the core mechanism."

He spoke in a low voice, his tone thoughtful.

Nezha took a step closer.

"So what do we need to do?"

Yang Jian lightly swept his finger through the air, and silver runes flowed in the air, forming a complex energy network that attempted to resonate with the nodes inside the altar.

"I need to adjust the frequency of the energy lines to resonate with these nodes in order to fully activate the core mechanism."

He looked serious; clearly, this was an extremely delicate operation.

The next moment, Yang Jian moved his finger and adjusted the frequency of the energy lines, trying to resonate with the nodes of the altar. The internal structure of the altar was extremely complex, and each node was like an independent individual that required a specific frequency to activate.

His brows furrowed slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, clearly indicating that maintaining this power was extremely taxing.

A moment later, the nodes inside the altar finally responded to the frequency of the energy lines, emitting a faint humming sound.

Yang Jian's brows relaxed slightly, and he said in a low voice:
"It's done!"

As he finished speaking, the runes on the altar surface suddenly lit up, their light even more dazzling than before.

The light between the runes intertwined to form a complex network, radiating intense energy fluctuations.

Sun Wukong's golden cudgel slammed into the ground, its golden blade gleaming, forming a solid defensive barrier that stared intently at the altar.

The runes on the altar gradually stabilized, and the spread of energy fluctuations was temporarily suppressed.

Yang Jian's gaze was focused, as if the entire world was condensed into the energy lines at his fingertips. The energy fluctuations of the core mechanism of the altar gradually subsided, and he could feel that power gradually synchronizing with him.

"The frequency of the energy lines still needs fine-tuning..."

Yang Jian said in a low voice, his brows furrowing slightly, and his fingertips moving even more gently.

Silver runes swirled in the air, as if weaving an invisible net, attempting to completely control the core mechanisms of the altar.

Nezha walked slowly around the altar, his eyes scanning the stone walls around it, trying to find the control point corresponding to the core mechanism.

Suddenly, he stopped in front of a slightly protruding stone wall, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Something seems different here."

Nezha muttered to himself, his fingers gently touching the runes on the stone wall. He felt a faint energy fluctuation, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Yang Jian, I've found a control point!"

Nezha called out in a low voice, his voice tinged with excitement, as he pressed on the stone wall. The runes flickered slightly with his movements, as if responding to his touch.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian paused slightly with his fingers, and silver runes swirled in the air, forming a slender energy line that slowly reached towards Nezha.

His gaze remained calm as he spoke in a low voice:

"Activate that control point and pay attention to changes in energy fluctuations."

Nezha nodded, and the flames of his Fire-Tipped Spear suddenly surged, illuminating the entire outer perimeter of the altar. He pressed his hand on the runes, and the runes on the stone wall lit up abruptly, emitting a low humming sound.

At the same time, the energy fluctuations at the center of the altar gradually subsided, eventually forming a stable energy sphere. The surface of the sphere shimmered with a soft light, like a star suspended in the air.

"Yang Jian, the energy of the altar seems to have stabilized."

Sun Wukong said in a low voice, his tone slightly relaxed.

He gripped the golden cudgel slightly, his gaze fixed on the energy sphere, as if waiting for something.

Yang Jian's gaze remained fixed on the altar. The runes condensed once more, forming a thin energy line that slowly probed into the energy sphere.

His movements were extremely gentle, as if he were touching a fragile pearl, and his eyes revealed a hint of focus and caution.

"The energy sphere has stabilized, but it still needs further guidance to ensure it doesn't get out of control."

Yang Jian said in a low voice, his tone thoughtful.

The energy lines drifted gently inside the sphere, attempting to find the pattern of energy flow.

Nezha turned his head and whispered to Yang Jian:
“These runes seem to have some connection to the energy spheres, and perhaps we can use them to further control the energy.”
