Douluo Continent: The Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Darkness, the Dragon Emperor Breaks Through the

Jin Chen received the letter on the seventh day.

He sat on a stone bench: "He said he had extracted the part of the records about the observation methods and equipment operation, and was verifying the feasibility by comparing it with the existing equipment layout in that space."

He said that if the existing equipment layout matches the description in the records, then the technology used in this space could likely be replicated.

Ling Feng said, "If he can verify the feasibility of those methods, then he will have mastered the complete operation process of that space."

Qian Renxue said, "Then he might try to recalibrate the core equipment of that space according to the methods recorded."

Chen Yuan said, "If he can successfully reproduce the calibration method in the records, then he will prove that the records of that space are indeed usable."

Tang San said, "He is currently verifying the equipment layout, which shows that he is indeed making progress step by step."

Ling Feng said, "He has already come this far, and every step from now on is just a natural progression."

Over the next few days, the boy revisited the space, carrying the newly organized notebook, and meticulously compared the descriptions in the records with the existing equipment layout.

He confirmed that the location of the core equipment matched the records, that every component involved in the calibration process was still in its original position, and that the stone strips, stone discs, metal sheets, and stone pieces were all functioning normally.

He drew a simplified diagram of the device layout in his notebook and marked the corresponding operation steps and sequence in the records next to it.

He did not immediately execute the calibration procedure. Instead, he repeatedly checked the simplified diagram against the steps in the record to confirm that each step had a corresponding operation position and sequence. Then he closed the notebook and walked back up the stairs.

Jin Chen received the letter on the sixth day.

He sat on the stone bench: "He said he had completed the comparison and verification of the equipment layout and confirmed that the existing equipment layout was consistent with the description in the records."

He planned to recalibrate the core equipment of the space according to the methods recorded after completing all the preparations.

He said he would double-check the recorded steps before performing the calibration procedure.

Ling Feng said, "Then he has already reached that point."

Qian Renxue said, "If he can successfully complete the calibration, that space may enter a new operating state."

Chen Yuan said, "Once the calibration is complete, that space may be able to restore its original function."

Tang San said, "His preparations are almost complete."

Chapter 406 Earth Veins

Ling Feng said, "Once he completes the calibration, the space will be able to start working again."

Only then will we see its true purpose.

On the evening of the day the boy finished his preparations, he sat under the lamp and read through the recorded steps from beginning to end, confirming the location and timing of each operation.

Then he closed the notebook, put it back in the drawer, and stood by the window for a while, watching the sky on the distant sea slowly sink into a deep blue as it darkened.

He stood by the window for a while, then walked back to the table, turned off the light, and sat in the darkness for a moment, as if confirming in his own way that every step was in the right place and ready.

As night deepened, he stood up and stood in the darkness for a moment, as if he were adjusting his orientation to align with the path.

He turned to the side and closed his eyes in the night.

A breeze seeped in through the cracks in the window, ruffling a corner of the already drawn equipment layout diagram on the table, as if confirming in its own way that the space was ready to be restarted.

All the components have been found, and the methods have been verified.

That space is waiting for the moment it will be reactivated, and all he needs to do is walk into that entrance at the right time and complete the set of steps that have been checked many times, one by one, in the order recorded.

Once he completes the final step, the core equipment of that space will resume operation, and the continuously flowing light pattern will once again cover the entire passage in a more stable manner than before.

The components that he put back in place will mesh with each other more smoothly than before, as if all the deviations between them have been corrected one by one during the long slumber.

After completing that set of calibration steps, he would follow the path that had just been reconnected to go deeper into that space to see what had been left behind.

The night breeze blew in through the cracks in the window, carrying the coolness of the night, as if telling him that the space was ready, and all he had to do was walk in and complete the steps one by one.

He turned to the side, holding his breath in the darkness, as if a long pause was being replaced by a clear starting beat, a starting beat that awaited him as he walked toward that space the next morning.

Tomorrow morning, he will walk into that entrance, follow the paths he has already traversed, and switch the states of each component one by one until the continuously flowing light pattern lights up again.

Tomorrow morning, that space will start operating again.

The wind blew in through the cracks in the window, ruffling the stray hairs on his forehead. He sat in the darkness, going over the steps again.

He confirmed the location where the first stone strip would be embedded, the angle at which the circular stone disc would be pressed into the corresponding groove in the corner of the third-floor ceiling, the direction in which the metal piece would slide into the groove at the top of the column, and the optimal position where the stone piece would be placed directly below the light pattern.

Those actions have been checked many times, and they won't go wrong.

He knew that the space would resume operation tomorrow, and the door would open after calibration, revealing the space behind it whose outline he had already envisioned.

He sat in the darkness for a while, then turned to the side and closed his eyes again in the night, as if confirming in his own way that the space was ready.

He would go in after dawn, and the continuously flowing light pattern would cover the entire passage again in a more stable way after he completed the last step.

That space will resume its function after a long slumber.

And that space will reveal its true form after he has completed the last leg of his journey.

The wind seeped in through the cracks in the window, ruffling the stray hairs on his forehead, as if confirming in its own way that the path was indeed still there.

Tomorrow morning, he will walk along that path.

The space is ready, and he will enter the entrance at the appropriate time and complete the calibration process step by step according to the set of steps that have been repeatedly checked.

The door would open after calibration, revealing the area behind it that he had envisioned many times in his mind, as if all the preparations were telling him in its own way that the space had indeed been reactivated.

And that area will reveal its true appearance after he has completed the last leg of his journey.

All the components have been put back in their proper places, all the paths have been reconnected, and all the records have been organized.

The night breeze passed by his window, carrying the salty, damp scent unique to Sea Breeze City, like a path slowly extending through the night, leading to the entrance he would walk towards the next morning.

The space was indeed ready, and all he had to do was walk through the entrance and complete the steps one by one in that order.

He closed his eyes; the wind was still blowing outside the window, and the night was still deepening.

He felt his breathing gradually slow down, synchronizing with the surrounding environment.

The paths are still there, and he is ready.

He turned to the side and closed his eyes again in the night.

Tomorrow morning, those paths will light up again.

When the boy woke up, it was still dark outside the window.

He slept very well, soundly and deeply, without waking up in the middle of the night.

He lay quietly on the bed for a while, as if to synchronize his breathing with the surrounding environment, and then sat up.

The sky outside the window was not yet fully bright, and the horizon was tinged with a very light gray-white, as if the entire night was slowly receding into the distance.

He dressed, checked the oil lamp, put the notebook in his pocket, then pushed open the door and stepped into the morning light.

As he reached the low-lying area, a pale golden light was just beginning to appear on the horizon.

He squatted down in front of the cover, cleared away the rubble from the edges, checked the condition of the cover with his hand, then inserted the crowbar into the gap and began to apply force.

The cover was lifted up by his prying without making any extra noise.

He climbed down from the entrance, the light of the oil lamp casting a steady, warm yellow glow in the passageway, illuminating the steps beneath his feet and the walls on either side.

He walked down the passage to the first floor and stopped near the east wall.

He stood in front of the stone slab, confirmed its position and condition, then reached out, grasped both ends of the slab, and smoothly inserted it into the slots at both ends.

The stone slab made a slight sound as it fell into the slot, confirming that it was in place. He then walked down the steps to the third floor, stopped in front of a recess near the corner of the ceiling, took out the round stone disc, adjusted its angle, and placed it steadily into the recess.

After the stone disc was embedded, a continuous, low sound came from the ground of the third layer.

He walked to the stone pillar, took out the metal piece, confirmed its orientation, and then placed it into the groove at the top of the pillar.

After the metal sheet was embedded, the brightness of the light in the space increased slightly.

Chapter 407 New Planning

He walked down the steps to the fifth floor, stopped in front of the light pattern at the edge of the staircase entrance, took out the stone piece, and placed it directly below the light pattern.

The brightness of the light pattern begins to change slowly, and the edges continue to expand outward.

He stopped in front of the light pattern, waited for its brightness to stabilize, and then walked down the steps into the stone chamber he had entered repeatedly.

He walked up to the sphere, checked its condition, and confirmed that its brightness had stabilized at a new level.

He stood there for a while, sensing a continuous, gentle change taking place inside the sphere, and then he went up the steps.

Jin Chen received the letter six days later.

He sat on the stone bench, opened the letter, read it once, and then looked up: "He said he had completed the recalibration, embedding the stone strips, stone discs, metal plates, and stone pieces in sequence, and the brightness of the sphere had stabilized at a new level without fluctuations."

"He confirmed that the sphere was stable, and then walked up the steps."

Ling Feng sat on the veranda: "Then he has completed the calibration."

Qian Renxue said, "The sphere has stabilized at a new level, which means the calibration was effective."

Chen Yuan said, "If the sphere's state has stabilized, then that space should have entered a new operational state."

Tang San said, "His next step might be to observe whether the state of the sphere changes over time."

Ling Feng said, "He is currently under observation."

Over the next few days, the boy would enter that space every day to check whether the sphere's condition remained stable.

He noticed that the brightness of the sphere did not fluctuate significantly over several days, and the direction of rotation remained stable.

On the fourth day, he opened his notebook to the page about device operation and added a note at the bottom of the page: "Calibration complete. The core device is stable. Rotation and brightness have reached the expected levels. The operating parameters are consistent with the description in the record."

He closed his notebook, stood by the window for a while, the sea shimmering evenly in the afternoon light, then walked back to the table, turned off the light, and sat there for a moment.

Jin Chen received the letter on the seventh day.

He sat on the stone bench: "He said he had confirmed that the sphere was stable, the operating parameters were consistent with the description in the records, and there were no abnormalities."

"He plans to continue observing while beginning to explore other areas of that space."

Ling Feng said, "He has now completed the calibration phase and entered a new exploration phase."

Qian Renxue said, "If the state of the sphere has stabilized, other areas of that space may also undergo corresponding changes."

Chen Yuan said, "If the calibration does activate some structures that were not activated before, then he should discover new channels or entry points during the exploration process."
