The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

Leonard tried to ease the tension:

"How about... when I get back, I have the forging center build me a black mech overnight to try it out? Maybe this is the opportunity the God-Emperor will guide me to advance to demigodhood!"

Elena glanced sideways at the Imperial War General and said speechlessly, "I didn't expect you to be so humorous."

"Haha, anything is possible!" Leonard laughed heartily twice.

Elena sighed, turning her gaze away from the crack, and slowly said:

"In my father's divine message, besides the black mecha, he also mentioned that the empire would face a crisis in the future..."

The oracle did not mention a specific time.

Maybe tomorrow, maybe a month from now, or maybe ten years or a hundred years from now.

But this prophecy is like a Damocles' sword hanging over the head of the Torres Empire.

As the empire's first and second strongest individuals, Elendina and Leonard are the "tall ones" standing at the forefront.

If the sky really falls, they will be the ones to hold it up!

Elena took a deep breath, suppressing her heavy emotions, and changed the subject:

"Right now, the most important thing is to find the mole within the upper echelons. Have you set up the three designated coordinates?"

Leonard's smile faded, and he nodded solemnly: "Yes, everything is arranged."

A murderous glint flashed in Elena's eyes. "Once Lin Hui buries the three fragments of the Divine Emperor's Sword at the designated coordinates, our plan will begin immediately!"

After discussing the matter, the two did not linger and quickly boarded the ship, leaving the Great Rift Valley.

However, for safety's sake, Leonard still dispatched three high-level psionicists to keep an eye on the rift's movements.

Late that night, Leonard received two more urgent intelligence reports.

In the depths of the wilderness within a hundred kilometers of Ironridge City and Silvermoon City, the patrol team also discovered similar spirit realm rifts!

The situation there was exactly the same as in the Great Rift Valley; all the creatures of the Kreece type within a radius of several hundred miles had mysteriously vanished without a trace.

……

The next morning.

The Class 9 motorhome is smoothly driving autonomously.

Since Su Qingqian was too tired and was still catching up on sleep, Lin Hui got up early and personally cooked a sumptuous breakfast for the employees.

On the long dining table, steaming hot fried dough sticks, Shaxian steamed buns, fried eggs, boiled broccoli, preserved mustard greens and bamboo shoots, pickled mustard greens, and a large pot of spicy tofu pudding in red oil were laid out.

Although the taste wasn't as good as Li Xian's, Jiang Qingyan, Liu Xi, Ya'erbeide, and Lilith ate with great relish.

"Hey... Boss, the chili you put in is so satisfying!" Jiang Qingyan said, sticking out her pink tongue as she shoveled mouthfuls of tofu pudding into her mouth.

Albedo elegantly wiped her red lips with a tissue, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lin Hui: "Anything made by Master himself is delicious."

Lin Hui also took a sip, and thought, "Mmm, it tastes really good."

At that moment, he looked around and suddenly realized that one person was missing.

"Lilith, where's Bai Ling? Why hasn't she come down for dinner yet?" Lin Hui asked Lilith.

Lilith raised her little face and obediently replied, "Sister Bai Ling is still in the lab! She hasn't come out since she got those two fallen beasts last night. I'll go call her!"

"No need, you continue eating, I'll go check on her." Lin Hui stopped Lilith, who was about to get up, and smiled.

After saying that, Lin Hui got up and walked towards the laboratory.

"Tch~~"

The laboratory's airtight doors slid open to both sides.

As soon as Lin Hui entered, he heard soft music echoing in the sterile laboratory.

On the dissection table ahead, the fallen beast, tightly bound by four obsidian gold chains, had stopped struggling.

Bai Ling, wearing a transparent raincoat and holding a sharp scalpel, was staring at the fallen beast on the stage and sighing repeatedly.

The indescribable twisted flesh and eyes of the Fallen Beast constantly emanate powerful mental pollution; an ordinary person who glances at it will have their SAN value depleted and go insane on the spot.

Even dedicated players will be affected.

But Bai Ling was completely unharmed, and her SAN remained at 100.

The second effect of the "Purification" gold item is "SAN Fountain"! As long as you are within the range of the music, you can forcibly restore your SAN!

Lin Hui walked to Bai Ling's side, glanced at the fallen beast on the dissection table, and asked curiously, "Bai Ling, why are you sighing so early in the morning? Are you running out of materials to make?"

Upon hearing Lin Hui's voice, Bai Ling abruptly raised her head, her delicate face filled with deep frustration.

"Boss, you're here..."

She put down the scalpel, pointed at the beast's semi-liquid flesh, and sighed helplessly, "I spent the whole night cutting it! But... I have absolutely no idea how to dissect this thing!"

Bai Ling paused for a moment, then voiced her guess:

"Fallen beasts are different from creatures in the real universe or the spirit world!"

"This seemingly fleshy part is actually an aggregate of projections from other dimensions into the real universe!"

Lin Hui asked in surprise, "So, they come from other dimensions? Besides the real universe and the spirit world, there are other dimensions?"

"Hmm! That's my conclusion so far." Bai Ling nodded slightly, looking quite dejected. "In short, at my current level, I'm still unable to unravel the mysteries of the Crusader creatures..."

Lin Hui reached out and gently patted her head, comforting her:

"You're only at Rank 5 now. Once you advance in rank, what are those type-elemental creatures? I believe in you!"

He paused, then promised, "Don't worry, I'll find a way to collect the upgrade blueprints for Tier 6 Medical Specialization as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling, who had been looking like a wilted eggplant, suddenly brightened up!

"Boss! You're amazing!! I love you so much!"

Bai Ling cheered and pounced on Lin Hui, clinging to him tightly like a koala.

"Hmm... I will definitely create the strongest blue potion in the entire universe to repay you handsomely!"

Feeling the astonishing softness and pressure emanating from it, Lin Hui hurriedly said, "Stop! Stop! Stop it! I can't breathe!"
