Chapter 453 Opening the Stone Palace
Roy's attention was quickly drawn to Jhin.
From the moment he set foot on the moon, Jhin's condition was not quite right.
He stood still, motionless, while the flames behind him surged more and more violently.
Those eyes were fixed on the direction of the distant crater, something surging deep within their pupils.
"Jin?" Roy walked over.
"Captain Roy."
Jin's voice was a little hoarse.
"Something is calling me from that direction..."
Roy followed his gaze. There lay the depths of the ring-shaped mountain range, the source of the energy pulses.
"Let's go," Roy said, "let's go take a look."
The two left the group and headed towards the crater.
The closer you get, the stronger Jhin's reaction becomes.
Flames spread from his back to his entire body, and he involuntarily entered battle mode.
Its black wings spread out, golden patterns appeared on its brown skin, and even its breathing became heavy.
"Are you alright?" Roy asked.
"It's nothing," Jin said through gritted teeth, "It's just... I have a lot of images in my head."
"What scene?"
"Fire...the city is burning...someone is screaming..." Ember's brow furrowed. "And there's a door...a very large door...with carvings on it..."
He stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking.
Ahead, a huge stone tablet is half-buried at the foot of the crater.
The stone tablet was ten meters high, five meters wide, and more than one meter thick.
The surface is covered with dense text and patterns, and although it is severely weathered, the general content can still be discerned.
Olvia was urgently summoned.
She squatted in front of the stone tablet, her fingers gently tracing the engravings, her lips trembling as she translated each word.
"Our homeland is dead... We search for a new life..."
"At the end of the sky... lies the blue sea..."
"Resources exhausted...we have no choice but to leave..."
Her voice grew increasingly agitated.
The inscription on the stone tablet perfectly matches the records in the ancient Sky Island books—the Moon People were forced to leave their homeland and travel to that blue planet due to resource depletion.
Murals are more intuitive.
First image: parched land, withered plants, and a desperate crowd.
The second picture shows people looking up at the starry sky, their eyes filled with reluctance and determination.
The third image shows a massive spaceship under construction, with countless people working busily.
Fourth image: The spaceship takes off and flies towards the blue planet below.
"This is the evidence."
Olvia stood up, her expression excited.
"The moon people did indeed migrate to Earth. The legend of the sky island people is true."
Just as Roy was about to speak, he suddenly sensed something. He abruptly turned his head and looked behind the stone tablet.
There, a scientist was squatting on the ground, his fingers touching a groove on the base of the stone tablet.
"Don't touch it—"
Before he finished speaking, the ground began to shake.
The ground around the stone tablet began to crack, and gray dust was shaken into the air.
The scientist was so frightened that he fell to the ground and scrambled backward.
A humanoid machine stood up from the sand.
It is about three meters tall, and its silver-white paint gleams coldly under the starlight.
The blue core on his chest flickered a few times, emitting a buzzing mechanical sound.
Then, its eyes lit up with red light, locking onto the nearest living person.
"Invaded life form detected...unregistered race...initiating elimination procedure."
The mechanical sound was cold and mechanical.
The next second, its arm deformed, revealing a dark gun muzzle.
An energy blast shot out!
With a thought, Roy created an invisible protective barrier around him.
The energy blast was frozen three meters away from the group, suspended in mid-air, and then dissipated silently.
The mechanical warrior struggled in vain, its deformed gun barrel still charging, but its entire body was firmly locked in place by Roy's telekinesis, unable to move.
"Interesting." Roy walked up to it and examined the ancient creation.
Energy weapon – its power is equivalent to a full-force attack by a naval captain.
Its outer shell—capable of withstanding ordinary slashes—is no match for him.
The energy fluctuations of the core energy source—blue light—are exactly the same as the flames of the Lunaria race.
Roy turned to look at Jhin, who was staring intently at the mechanical warrior, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.
"Captain," his voice trembled slightly, "it..."
Roy raised an eyebrow.
"It's not an attack." Jin took a few steps closer, and the mechanical warrior's struggles lessened. The frequency of the blue light flashing on its chest also changed. "It's... confirming my identity."
"Lunalia bloodline." Roy understood. "This thing was created by your people."
Roy withdrew his telekinesis.
The mechanical warrior landed on the ground, neither attacking nor fleeing.
It simply stood still, the blue light on its chest stabilizing, and the red light in its eyes turning back to blue.
"Cease the attack." Jhin's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable power.
The mechanical warrior's actuator clicked, and its arm returned to its original position, hanging down at its side.
It bowed its head slightly, as if in a gesture of respect.
"Take it back for research." Roy waved his hand, and the mechanical warrior, enveloped in telekinesis, floated towards the direction of the Ark's Proverb.
Roy turned and looked at the huge ring-shaped mountain range in the distance.
There, energy pulses still beat rhythmically, like some ancient call.
"Let's go," Roy said, "Let's go take a look over there."
The team continued forward, leaving behind the first set of human footprints on the moon.
Roy glanced back at the way they had come, feeling as if something was watching them.
But there was nothing on that gray wasteland.
The closer you get to the crater, the stronger the energy pulse becomes.
It was a rhythmic fluctuation, like a heartbeat, or some kind of ancient signal.
Each strike made one's chest feel tight, but for Jhin, the feeling was completely different—his blood was boiling, and the flames behind him were almost burning through his clothes.
"This is it." Jin stopped in his tracks.
Ahead, at the foot of the ring-shaped mountain range, lies a massive building.
No, calling it "architecture" is too small.
It was a giant stone palace embedded inside the mountain, over two hundred meters high, and its width was immeasurable.
The two giant stone doors were tightly closed, their surfaces carved with intricate totems—in the center was a human figure with outstretched wings and surrounded by flames, and around which were symbols of the sun, stars, and the sea.
Lunaria.
Roy recognized the pattern immediately. It was exactly the same as Jhin's battle form.
"How do I open this door?" Barrett stepped forward and punched the stone door.
boom--!
A fist slammed into the door, producing a dull thud. The stone door remained completely still, without even a crack.
Barrett shook his numb wrist and cursed, "What the hell is this? It's harder than Seastone."
"Don't do anything reckless." Roy stepped forward and placed his hand on the stone door.
Using his mental power, he sensed the complex structure inside the stone door; it wasn't a simple latch, but a sophisticated identification system.
A specific energy frequency is required to trigger the activation mechanism.
"Jin, come here."
Jin stepped forward, his right hand rising uncontrollably and pressing against the human-shaped totem in the center of the stone gate.
The totem patterns lit up the moment the palms touched.
Golden light spread along the engravings, like blood flowing in veins.
It spreads outward from the center, filling every line and every symbol.
The sun shone, the stars shone, and the sea shone.
Rumbling--
The stone gate slowly opened inward.
