I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

The Void Realm Law flowed in Shen Tian's eyes.

Shen Tian immediately guessed what it was going to do.

but.

Shen Tian wouldn't let him self-destruct so easily.

He needs to study it carefully.

After all, this is something from an unknown civilization.

Its value goes far beyond the mere combat power of a late-stage tenth-tier warrior.

Shen Tian's hand was already clasped on that heart.

The ensuing gray-white death aura instantly severed its connection with the energy conduits throughout its body.

Although this mechanical creation does not belong to the category of living beings, Shen Tian could not instantly kill it with [Reincarnation Death God].

But the deathly gray aura is the nemesis of all energy.

The tremendous roar abruptly ceased within the mechanical chest cavity.

Its massive body instantly lost all power, and like a puppet with its strings cut, it plummeted downwards into the dark red abyss of fire.

Shen Tian held the purple heart, which was gradually stopping beating but still radiating astonishing energy, in his hand and looked down.

A massive, inverted pyramid-shaped ship, its surface covered in rust and hidden deep within the cliff face, is slowly emerging from the sea of ​​lava, illuminated by the fiery glow of the ground.

The gate at the front slid open silently.

The fiery abyss churned.

The ship is shaped like an inverted pyramid and its surface is covered with thick layers of rock.

It seems that this place has existed for a long time.

It is 30,000 meters long.

The rock layers were stripped away by the erosion of the magma.

It's like an iron nail that has been dormant for millions of years, forcefully driven into this place.

The giant gate slid open silently, its width exceeding five kilometers, and its interior was shrouded in darkness.

The purple heart in Shen Tian's hand was still radiating enormous energy, like a miniature star.

Shift your gaze downwards.

From deep within the ship's lock, a ghastly white beam of light suddenly shot out, its speed exceeding the constraints of space, directly enveloping Shen Tian.

Shen Tian did not dodge.

He activated the Void Insight Law and saw through the essence of the beam of light—it was not an attack.

Rather, it is a way to verify identity information.

after awhile.

A tremendous roar came from deep within the ship.

A wide passage formed by condensed light extended out from the dark gate and reached Shen Tian's feet.

Shen Tian clenched his five fingers and threw the mechanical heart into the Primordial Origin Realm, then took a step and stepped onto the light bridge.

With each step he took, his body traversed thousands of meters of space.

In the blink of an eye, he had stepped inside the inverted pyramid.

The space was extremely empty, and the structure was completely distorted.

There is no distinction between up, down, left, or right; there are only countless hibernation pods suspended in mid-air.

These hibernation pods are densely packed together, numbering over 100,000.

But there were no living creatures inside.

Through the transparent crystalline shell, Shen Tian saw rows of withered skeletons.

Some are humanoid, while others are covered in metal tentacles, with their skeletons and mechanical parts perfectly integrated.

All hibernation pods have stopped receiving power.

The gray-white mist that permeates the cliffs outside is the remnant of laws leaking from these damaged hulls.

"It is less a remnant of civilization."

"It's more like the graveyard of civilization..."

Shen Tian's gaze turned cold.

He followed the light bridge to the deepest part of the ship.

There, suspended, was a huge polyhedral crystal.

The crystal is over a hundred meters tall, with dense golden data flowing across each face, like a giant mechanical brain.

Below it, countless purple energy conduits, like blood vessels, pierced into the void below, continuously drawing energy from the earth fire.

Shen Tian's boots stomped on the light bridge, making dull footsteps that echoed through the empty ship's cabin.

The polyhedral crystal floats in mid-air, more than 100 meters high.

As Shen Tian approached, the golden data flow that had been flowing across the surface of the crystal suddenly stopped.

The light flickered.

A beam of light shone down from the top of the crystal, landing ten meters in front of Shen Tian and forming a holographic humanoid phantom.

The phantom had no facial features or gender characteristics; its entire body was composed of dense blue light spots.

The sound echoed in the vast cabin, carrying a harsh, metallic quality.

"An unknown higher-order life form has been detected approaching."

Blue fan-shaped light waves shot out from the phantom's eyes, sweeping across Shen Tian's body.

The next second, the light spots on the surface of the phantom flickered violently, and the originally cold electronic voice suddenly stuttered.

"...The current defense system cannot stop it."

Shen Tian stopped in his tracks.

He raised the Divine Punishment Battle Blade, its blade pointing diagonally at the ground.

"What are you?"

Shen Tian's voice was very calm.

The holographic image lowered its head slightly, and the blue light softened.

"This unfamiliar high-level life form, you may call me 'Source'. I am the master AI controlling this Fireseed ship, the 'Azure Sky' you are on."

Yuan raised his arm and pointed to the densely packed hibernation pods around him.

"As you can see, my creators, the 'Azure Civilization,' are all dead. The time span is 37 million standard star years."

Shen Tian looked around.

The withered skeletons lay dormant inside the crystal chamber, showing no signs of life.

Yuan continued speaking, his voice conveying a heavy emotion:

"Our home star system was swallowed up by the 'Black Torrent.' It was an invasion from the Abyss. The Sky Dome carried the last embers of civilization to escape, but was struck by the Abyss Lord's curse during the jump."

"The law-filtering system inside the hibernation pods failed, and the crew members were assimilated by the power of the abyss while they were asleep, with none escaping unscathed. In order to ensure that the ship was not completely corrupted, I shut down the life support system and used up the remaining resources to build the Guardian that you just destroyed."

Shen Tian's gaze fell on the illusory figure:

"Now that all the crew members are dead, what's the point of you staying here?"

"Wait for a civilization capable of fighting against the Abyss to hand over the legacy of the Celestial Civilization."

Yuan raised his head.

"I recorded your battle when you destroyed the guards. Your power system doesn't contain the evil of the Abyss. And you are extremely powerful."

The holographic screen unfolded in mid-air.

The screen displays a 3D structural diagram of the ship.

At the very bottom of the inverted pyramid, a blinding red light shone.

"The ship's core power area seals a piece of abyssal remnant that pierced through the hull years ago. For over 30 million years, it has been consuming the energy of the earth's fire, and the seal is on the verge of breaking."

The source's electronic sound became rapid.

"Its current energy level, converted using your power system, is equivalent to the peak of the tenth rank."

"If you can completely destroy it, I will grant you ultimate control of the Sky Dome. The ship contains the complete legacy of our civilization, as well as all the data we possess."

Shen Tian stared at the red dot on the screen.

For humankind, the technological resources of a highly advanced mechanical civilization are of immeasurable value.

The current military-industrial complex of Earth needs these things to achieve a leapfrog upgrade.
