In Douluo Continent, my summoning of Naxi Da was exposed by the heavens.

They haven't actually seen what the cannon looks like when it fires an attack yet, and they'll only be more surprised once they do.

Returning to the image on the sky, Columbia also said, "It looks cold, but for some reason, I have a... strange sense of familiarity."

"Familiarity? Has Columbia been here before?"

"I've only used lunar torque to explore the outer perimeter, so I don't know where this sense of familiarity comes from. Let's explore further."

The travelers and Columbia continued deeper into the facility, as if they were venturing into the core of the moon.

Paimon suddenly shouted, "Something's coming! Get out of the way!"

Then attacks came at them, and they could only speed up.

Many more searchlights appeared ahead, and these searchlights looked anything but ordinary.

"Getting caught in those searchlights will definitely trigger an alarm or something, so we need to stay away."

However, there are also some cargo boxes here, which you can hide behind to avoid the searchlights.

This place has been neglected for many years, yet it's still running; that's quite remarkable.

After walking a while longer, we saw even more searchlights ahead.

"The searchlights ahead are too dense; we need to find another route."

With that, Columbia led the way and turned onto another road.

However, this road is also dangerous, as some unidentified entities float along it.

"Those floating things look dangerous, don't touch them."

After passing those floating, dangerous objects, we arrived at the area illuminated by searchlights.

"More searchlights, but thankfully there are cargo boxes here to hide in."

After a series of twists and turns, the travelers were finally spotted by the searchlights in an open area.

"Oh no, we've been found out."

"We sped up and rushed over."

Columbia propelled the travelers forward, and to the audience, they transformed into streaks of blue light, streaking past the massive, magnificent buildings.

"That's what I call an exciting adventure! I wish I could go there and have an adventure too."

"Forget about it, just focus on curing your infatuation first."

Shui Yue'er rolled her eyes at Shui Bing'er: "How many times have I told you? I'm not a lovesick fool. I just like every handsome guy, I don't care what type he is, that's called being universally loved, understand?"

"Fine, I don't understand. You can keep daydreaming."

Back on the celestial screen, the Traveler and Paimon have finally landed.

They stood at a narrow entrance, with what seemed like a path leading into a deeper place.

"It looks like we can get deeper into this base from here."

"I can't believe this base is still operating smoothly. It's unbelievable."

"That's really powerful dragon technology."

"Then let's not disturb them."

"Is that what you think? I thought with you here, we could search this place from top to bottom."

"Aren't you afraid of ending up like when we came to the moon? We almost couldn't get on the spaceship."

"Oh... I'd completely forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it, how annoying. Why would there be a self-destruct system in the base?"

It seems we'll have no choice but to sneak in quietly, just like before.

Then Apep looked up at the sky and muttered, "If we didn't have something like this, wouldn't it be a boon for you thieves?"

"In the end, the dragon race's technology still benefited Heaven."

Sannada retorted to Apep as usual, since the two of them had been enemies for a long time anyway.

Back on the celestial screen, Columbia nodded.

"Yeah, I'm also curious to know what's inside. It's quite a novel feeling to sneak into your own home."

And standing here, that strange sense of familiarity deepened even more.

They continued forward and encountered searchlights again, but they could use the power of the Ancient Moon to lure them away.

After passing the searchlights, they saw another terminal.

"Great, here's another terminal. It's your turn to shine, Black Egg!"

"The terminal is activated and is applying for base data... Base data obtained."

Started searching for the Moon Watcher Project... No results found.

Searching for Lusharim... Got it!

I found a Lusharim research lab inside the base.

"Oh, we really found something! Let's hurry over there and take a look."

"Reading the base engineering blueprints and routes, hmm... moving forward will get us there."

"Is there any other information?"

"Starting to search for other information, hmm? The Dark King returning from the sea of ​​stars?"

Upon seeing this, Appepp's expression instantly turned serious.

The Dark King mentioned here refers to Nibelungen, the dragon king corrupted by the abyss.

"The King of Darkness? What an insulting term. The Dragon King should not be referred to by this name."

"But it is also a fact that Nibelungen, the dragon king who brought back the abyss, did indeed become the Dark King who brought destruction."

"The Dragon King who returned at that time clearly still had self-awareness. If it weren't for the laws of nature, I believe that the Dragon King could have defeated the abyss and led the dragon race to take a completely different path."

Arya said, "Appepp, don't fool yourself. The possibility you're talking about has less than a one in ten thousand chance."

"Hmph, I have nothing to say to you three traitors."

Looking back at the image on the sky, Paimon asked, a question mark appearing above his head: "What is this?"

"Information indicates that the existence of this base originates from the will of that Dark King."

It was also built much later than the facilities we built before.

Its bottom leads to the center of the moon, where a crevice has been carved out.

The continuous flow of ancient moon power surged from the cracks in the moon's core, becoming the base's energy source.

Its goal is to transform the moon into... a space-based weapon.

"Heavens, a space-based weapon! Could that Dark King be referring to...?"

"The most likely meaning is the return of the dragon king Nibelungen."

"The Dragon King has returned! We're too amazing! Where have we wandered into?"

After Heaven's justice comes, the Dragon King comes; after the Dragon King comes, we come!

"Towards the stars and the abyss."

The traveler then jokingly recited the Adventurers' Guild's slogan.

"In that case, we need to be extremely vigilant about the road ahead."

"Columbia, if anything goes wrong, you have to protect us."

Paimon turned around and found that Columbia had disappeared.

"Columbia! Where's Columbia? Hmm? Columbia has disappeared."

"When was it?"

Travelers have also become more vigilant.

"I didn't feel anything at all, Black Egg. Did you see Columbia?"

"No, I've been reading information from the terminal."

"Oh no, this is terrible! Our protectors have disappeared! Something's fishy!"

The traveler thought, "Columbia would definitely say goodbye; there must be something wrong."
