F-class thief? Sorry, I can steal anything.

"Deep within the world's engine."

After Bai Zhi finished speaking, only the muffled sound of the outer channel hitting the blockade layer remained in the channel.

Shenhou exploded first.

"Say it again?"

"Where is the twelfth core inside that thing?"

The keyboard sounds from Bai Zhi's side were deafeningly loud.

"Not the stomach."

"It is the core harvesting hub at the very bottom of the engine."

"It swallowed the twelfth core as ballast."

Chen Yifan stood in the desert, the bone imprint on his chest still burning hot.

Eleven cores were pressed into the ring space.

Blood rain.

Thunder Bone.

Blue smoke.

God's Ashes.

Soul-Slaying Remnant Pattern.

These things were just pushing against each other, but now they are pressed into a complete ring by the human anchor point of Qingyan Well.

Just one square away.

Bai Zhi continued reporting.

"146 hours left in the countdown."

"But after the Holy Lord lit the altar, the harvesting process had already been pre-loaded."

"If the twelfth core is crushed by the engine, even if we recover eleven of the twelve cores from the twelve core wells, it will be useless."

Shenhou cursed.

"Then let's disassemble the engine!"

Wang Qingyun coughed softly.

"It can't be demolished."

"At least we can't do it the way we disassemble the machine."

Chen Yifan raised his hand and pressed it against his chest.

The empty space in the middle of the bone imprint jumped very fast.

It was as if they were urging him on.

The Holy Lord finally spoke.

Its sound was forced into the channel from outside the crack in the sky.

This time, it didn't install it.

"She figured it out."

"The twelfth core is indeed deep within the world engine."

Shenhou immediately swung his club and smashed a heretic away, then roared towards the crack.

"You're admitting it so readily, there's definitely something fishy going on!"

The Holy Lord smiled.

"Of course."

"If Chen Yifan doesn't go in, Blue Star will continue to be harvested."

"When Chen Yifan goes in, the eleven cores will unlock the engine's core for him."

"That crack in the door will also open for me."

The static on the channel stopped for a moment.

The rabbit's voice quickly quelled the chaos.

"The Holy Lord needs him to bring the eleven cores into the engine."

"This is the result it waited for."

Bai Zhi's breathing became erratic.

"No wonder it forced the delivery of the ninth, tenth, and eleventh wells."

"It's not that it's desperate to lose."

"It's collecting keys."

Shen Hou's temper flared up instantly.

"You headless dog, you really know how to set traps!"

The Holy Lord ignored him.

It only stared at Chen Yifan.

"You don't have to go."

"Your sister, along with this planet, will be absorbed into the origin of civilization by the World Engine."

"You can go too."

"With eleven ancient hearts, break down that last door for me."

"Chen Yifan, you choose."

In the desert, yellow sand swirls up from the ground, only to be pushed back down by the distant remnants of the Mitsui well.

Chen Yifan didn't speak immediately.

He took out the fragment of the inscription from the Qingyan Well.

The old, grayish-blue patterns on it are still dancing.

[The heavens are sealed, but people are not.]

Wang Qingyun's voice came through.

"Don't let it dictate your pace."

Chen Yifan hummed in agreement.

Bai Zhi immediately added.

"There is another way."

"Give us the eleven cores, and we will send them into the engine via the Sky Dome Offline Array."

Wang Qingyun rejected it outright.

"no."

"The core is the bone imprint of the sealed well inside his body."

"If he leaves, the authority of the Eleventh Well will be revoked."

The Rabbit (卯兔) continued in a deep voice.

"I led the team in with him."

Chen Yifan looked up.

"No."

The rabbit paused for a moment.

"Chen Yifan, now is not the time for you to shoulder this alone."

I didn't succeed.

Chen Yifan pressed the remaining smoke and text back to his chest.

"Once you enter the engine, your skills will be locked, and your privileges will be taken away."

"The corpse may also be used by the Holy Lord to prolong life."

Shenhou was immediately displeased.

"What do you mean?"

"Am I only good for holding everyone back?"

"You're cursing it outside."

Chen Yifan looked at the other end of the channel.

"Don't let it quiet down."

The monkey is stuck.

Two seconds later, he gritted his teeth and cursed:

"OK."

"I'll curse their divine genealogy until it smokes today."

The Rabbit did not laugh.

"All zodiac animal sequences, guard the lockout layer."

"Without orders, do not venture into the engine crack."

"Those who disobey orders will be treated as wartime deserters."

A muffled groan came from the Tiger's side.

"receive."

The ugly ox was panting heavily.

"receive."

Wu Ma dragged his injured leg, his voice weak.

"receive."

Zishu added in a low voice.

"Chen Yifan, the Holy Lord is both afraid and eager about you entering the engine."

"These two sentiments are mixed together."

"It still has a backup plan."

Chen Yifan tidied up the ring space.

The eleven cores are arranged in order.

The first to the eleventh.

The gray and white patterns slowly merged into a circle, enveloping the wisp of divine embers in the eighth well, and were then pulled back to the center by the human anchor point of the eleventh well.

The remaining thread left by the Holy Lord did not reappear.

It is waiting for the engine.

Chen Yifan raised his hand and gently pressed the ring with the "Stealing All Things" technique.

I won't steal this time.

First, arrange the formation.

Bai Zhi immediately noticed the change.

"Chen Yifan, are you rearranging the suppression intent?"

"Um."

"According to the old order of the Twelve Heart Wells, the first three suppress the earth, the fourth and fifth suppress the water veins, the sixth and seventh suppress the soul, the eighth suppresses the divine remains, the ninth and tenth suppress the lingering thoughts of those who died in battle, and the eleventh suppresses the anchor point in the human world."

Bai Zhi speaks even faster.

"If you pile all of these into the sealed well bone seal, your body will be under a lot of pressure."

Chen Yifan looked down at his chest.

The grayish-white lines have spread from the ribs to the shoulders and back.

"We'll talk about it if we can't handle it."

Shenhou shouted in a hoarse voice:

"That sounds like you don't have insurance!"

Bai Zhi suddenly paused.

"Wait a moment."

"After the eleven cores were sorted, a hidden link appeared."

"They are not limited to opening the twelfth core."

"They can also reverse-engineer the harvesting connections between the Holy Lord and the World Engine."

Wang Qingyun immediately took over.

"Found it?"

Bai Zhi tapped quickly.

"not yet."

"But once he gets inside the engine, the Holy Lord will definitely use the harvesting protocol through the crack in the door."

"At that moment, Chen Yifan was able to steal the line between it and the engine."

The Monkey King is in high spirits.

"Understood."

"The headless dog thought he was fishing, but even fishing rods can be stolen?"

Chen Yifan chuckled softly.

"almost."

The voice of the Holy Lord came again.

"You can continue to discuss this."

"Every moment wasted advances the countdown on Earth by one moment."

An alarm suddenly sounded from Bai Zhi's side.

"The harvest loading speed is even faster now!"

"It's revving the engine!"

The Rabbit gave the order in a cold voice.

"Press all in front!"

"Don't let the Holy Lord continue to devour the remnants of heretics!"

Shenhou immediately started cursing.

"Brothers, did you hear that?"

"The headless dog is starting to pressure us for the order!"

"Confiscate all their takeout!"

A series of impact sounds came from the channel in front of the Sky Dome Blockade.

Yin Hu roared and forcefully pushed back the high-level heretical path.

Ugly Ox inserted the damaged beam into the front of the formation base, with himself positioned behind it.

Wu Ma kicked away a mangled body and cursed:

"Hurry up with the incineration array!"

"If you slow down any further, this bastard will be eating his midnight snack!"

The tense atmosphere on the channel eased a little after hearing those few sentences.

Chen Yifan did not laugh.

He could hear Wang Qingyun's breathing getting heavier and heavier.

"Old Wang."

Wang Qingyun hummed in agreement.

Chen Yifan spoke:

"What is the root at the bottom of the engine?"

Wang Qingyun remained silent for a few moments.

"The World Engine is not just a machine."

"It considers Earth to be a farm, so all professionals are crops."

Destroying its outer shell won't help.

"As long as the underlying consensus remains, it will restart."

Bai Zhi then completed the rest.

"Therefore, its judgment needs to be rewritten."

"So that it can no longer mark Blue Star as a farm."

Wang Qingyun coughed even more violently.

"People from the previous era tried it."

"They failed."

"The World Engine has divine certification at its core."

"Certification is the twelfth core requirement."

Chen Yifan looked up.

"Therefore, the twelfth core is both the seal of the last heart and the seal that the Divine Court gave to the engine cover."

"right."

Wang Qingyun's voice lowered.

"Destroy the engine, not smash the metal casing."

"It's about cutting off the root of its belief that Earth is a farm."

As soon as he finished speaking, a soft crackling sound of burning gray-blue flames came from the channel.

Bai Zhi grew anxious.

"Captain Wang, what are you doing?"

Wang Qingyun ignored her.

"Chen Yifan, here you go."

A streak of grayish-blue flame passed through the encrypted channel from the base of the celestial array and landed directly in Chen Yifan's palm.

The fire wasn't big.

Inside were old police badges, teacups, duty rosters, and the names of the members of the Green Smoke Group who hadn't brought them with them.

Chen Yifan closed his fingers.

The fire drill entered the sealed well bone imprint and adhered to the eleventh core.

Wang Qingyun took a breath.

"This is the last wisp of the dying embers of the Smoke Dragon."

"Don't complain about the small amount."

Chen Yifan looked at the empty space in his palm.

"You're still alive and well outside?"

"Stop talking nonsense."

Wang Qingyun scolded him very lightly.

"I'm only missing half a heart, not a mouth."

Shenhou immediately delivered the finishing blow.

"Your mouth is certainly quite resilient."

Wang Qingyun coughed twice.

"roll."

Chen Yifan pressed the remnant of the Smoke Dragon into the bone imprint.

All eleven cores trembled simultaneously.

Grayish-white lines spread out from his chest, running down along his bones.

Arm.

back.

Leg bone.

The entire well was sealed, and the bone imprints were strung together as one.

There was no surge in psionic energy.

My body felt much heavier.

Every step felt like carrying eleven wells.

Bai Zhi's voice was strained.

"The well-sealing bone imprint is stable."

"The anchor point in the human world is stable."

"The divine embers have been suppressed."

"Chen Yifan, you can tear the crack in the engine."

Shenhou suddenly spoke.

"Wait a moment."

Chen Yifan stopped.

The fighting on Shenhou's side was chaotic, but the volume was lower than before.

"Remember to use the main entrance when you leave."

"I don't want to erect a monument for you."

Chen Yifan replied.

"Don't write the wrong name on the monument."

Shenhou cursed:

"Damn it, you really know how to respond."

The sound of a mouse interrupted.

"Chen Yifan".

"I can't hear what you're thinking after you go inside."

"But if someone we know is inside, we'll attack them first."

Don't hesitate.

Chen Yifan hummed in agreement.

The Rabbit spoke last.

"Chen Yifan".

"This time, I'll make a note of it myself."

Chen Yifan raised his hand and tore open the void.

"I'll owe you for now."

"Interest is calculated at black market rates."

Shenhou immediately started shouting.

"Even Mu Wanqing would praise your business acumen!"

A rift in the void opened.

This time, Chen Yifan did not go to the Sky Dome.

He targeted the depths of the Mariana Trench.

The location of the World Engine.

The next instant, the sea pressure crashed down.

Chen Yifan landed on the edge of the deep-sea rift, and the surrounding seawater was pushed apart by golden-red light.

A giant meteorite-shaped world engine lies across the bottom of the trench.

The surface is not stone.

It was covered with dense runes.

Each rune is connected to the Blue Star professional panel.

The countdown is still ticking.

[Countdown to Civilization Harvest: 146:12:09]

Chen Yifan raised his hand and pressed it against the surface of the engine.

Eleven cores beat simultaneously.

A crack appeared on the surface of the world engine.

Golden-red light emanated from within.

Bai Zhi's voice sounded very distant over the communication.

"The entrance is open!"

"Chen Yifan, be careful, the level of rules inside is much higher than that of the Heavenly Dome."

Chen Yifan did not reply.

He stepped into the crevice.

With the first step, my body suddenly sank.

Tens of thousands of golden chains of rules rolled in from all directions, binding the wrists, ankles, necks, and sternums.

The skill bar instantly turned gray.

The equipment slots are blocked.

The job panel started flashing.

[Abnormal individual.]

[A destiny beyond the boundaries.]

Harvesting variables.

[Prioritize clearing.]

The chains tightened suddenly.

Chen Yifan's bones emitted a series of muffled cracks.

The eleven cores did not protect him.

They simply pressed down the well-sealing bone imprint firmly, preventing the engine from mistaking it for a crop.

Chen Yifan looked up.

This is not the Mechanical Palace.

It was a golden field.

Millions of lives sprout from the earth, bending into ears of wheat.

Each ear of grain contains a professional's level, talent, skills, family, and memories.

An invisible scythe hangs overhead.

We're just waiting for the countdown to reach zero.

Chen Yifan tugged at the chain wrapped around his neck and chuckled softly.

"Clear?"

"Stick your neck out first."

The theft of all things is activated.

The objective is the power of execution within the first chain of rules.

The ring was red from being pressed down by the chain.

The World Engine immediately added a verdict.

[Theft detection.]

[Illegal access permissions.]

[Execute the erasure.]

More chains pierced Chen Yifan's chest.

The seal on the well suddenly lit up.

The wisps of smoke and the flickering embers stood at the forefront, forcefully blocking those rules that pierced the heart by half an inch.

Chen Yifan grabbed with his right hand.

"steal."

click!

The first golden chain broke at the base.

The entire golden field trembled.

On the countless professional panels on Blue Star, the countdown suddenly paused for one second.

In the Sky Channel, Bai Zhi suddenly shouted.

"The countdown stopped for one second!"

Shenhou laughed loudly.

"it works!"

"Chen Yifan, keep harvesting it!"

Inside the world engine, the broken chains turned into gold dust.

At the edge of the golden field, a figure slowly appeared.

The person was wearing the same clothes as Chen Yifan.

The figure, face, and movements were all exactly the same.

It reached out and caught a broken piece of chain.

The panel's judgment text is then refreshed.

[Analysis of the extraterrestrial destiny trajectory is underway.]

[Trial simulation generation.]

The figure raised its head, its voice flat.

"You've finally arrived."

"A person outside the boundary."
