Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

The spiritual threads in the door are far more complex than those of intelligent creatures, and their number is so large that they occupy the entire spiritual field of vision. Even if spiritual piercing is used to attack, it cannot be shaken without years and months.

Li Ang couldn't figure out the function of the various structures on the door, but he touched a few places that looked like keyholes or opening devices, trying to see if the system had any prompts.

However, the system also remained silent and did not respond.

Is it true that the hidden location is clearly stated, but there is no way to open it?

The silent stillness seemed to be saying – let’s explore the places ahead later.

Suddenly, a faint spiritual fluctuation arose from the shadow behind him.

If his grasp of spirituality had not reached a new level after he obtained the Demon's Hand, he would not have been able to distinguish it from the spirituality of other things in the passage.

But for Leon now, such fluctuations are like fireflies in the dark. Although dim, it is absolutely impossible not to see them.

He immediately raised his magic shield and raised his devil's hand, just as he was about to suppress the opponent with spiritual suffocation, another ball of spirit emerged.

While opening his spiritual vision, he cast two slowing spells, clenched his demon claws, and used spiritual suffocation to lock the one that came out first.

In the darkness where the light could not reach, a shadow exploded and collided with the sudden suffocation control. The shadow fell to the ground like a splash of water, revealing Morales' figure.

"why you?"

Although the spiritual suffocation was blocked by his shadow control technique, the slowing technique hit the target accurately.

Xiao Mo naturally had no hostility. He probably discovered that Li Ang was missing and followed him here secretly.

What a trick."

Li Ang released the slowing spell, and Xiao Mo said the second half of his sentence at the same time, and he looked towards another place where spiritual fluctuations were occurring.

Droplets of water condensed on the walls of the metal corridor. They flowed slowly, then gathered into a mist, and slowly condensed into the image of Aqua.

She glared at Li Ang, and Li Ang immediately released the slowing spell for her.

"How disrespectful!"

Aqua hugged her arms and snorted. She was like water, no, she was a ball of water, and the edges of her body were still slowly fluctuating.

"I used water to clone myself here, but I fell into your trap again. Damn it."

She said again, but Leon couldn't figure out what last time she was referring to. Perhaps it was when the rabbit clone was stopped? Because this god's clones had a lot of embarrassing moments.

The two people who came were both from the same group. Li Ang said, "Why are you guys being so secretive?"

Aqua glanced at Xiao Mo, and Xiao Mo stared at Leon, as if to say, "Why another one?"

Li Ang introduced her briefly: "This is Aqua. She is... just think of her as a powerful mage. She knows a lot of ancient knowledge. She used to be in the same profession, but I don't know what she's doing now."

"Hello, I'm Duncan Morales."

The young man with animal ears smiled friendly at the incarnation of the water dragon.

“I was looking for this place.”

Aqua took a step forward, leaving behind water footprints with the sound of clattering sounds. The water body did not solidify, and the water marks left behind slowly flowed towards the main body.

She came to the gate of the Island Builder's Creation Association and looked up. She was originally petite, and now it was like a human standing in front of a giant spirit. However, Li Ang did not feel that her aura was weaker than that of the "giant spirit". Perhaps this was the majesty of the gods, which was in effect at all times.

"What's so special about this place?" Leon asked.

"I... I've heard before that the ruins of the civilization in the Rudder City contain high-level power, but I haven't made a special trip here before."

Aqua originally wanted to call herself Benlong, but she hid her identity in front of strangers.

She touched the door, the magic in her fingertips causing ripples of magic on the metal of the door.

In front of the incarnation of the god who supports the world, the power that blocked the gate responded.

"I sensed this power after landing on the island. They deliberately hid this facility, not wanting anyone outside their faction to discover it. Therefore, I've been searching for it. However, this power has shielded us from perception, and with my current strength, I can't accurately locate it."

The pink-haired girl turned around, her eyes made of water fluctuating. Leon couldn't be sure if she had any special look in her eyes, but she was staring at him anyway.

"I didn't expect you to be able to find it. You are indeed a little different. Perhaps some of Meimei's opinions are not groundless..."

Aqua pinched her chin in thought.

Morales spread his arms. "Um, could you tell me something that would get me involved?"

"Okay," Leon looked at the young man with animal ears, "When did you start following me?"

"Don't you want to borrow the space to build a ship? I happened to be talking to Uncle Locke about the Super Luck Group, so I mentioned it to him. He agreed, so I came back to look for you, but you weren't there. I figured you were out and about, but seeing you casting a spell on someone, I wanted to see what potion you were selling in the bottle."

Li Ang grinned: "You're not still wondering if I've become a villain or something like that, are you?"

"Of course not."

Xiao Mo chuckled, "But you really have a lot of tricks up your sleeve. I thought the sorcerer had no other options left. But that move just now was incredible. If you use it casually, who can resist it?"

He was referring to the slowing technique. The stronger the opponent, the greater the effect of this technique.

Leon has only encountered Meluna who can counter this move. Even the Crimson Demon only uses spiritual manipulation of the same level to offset the negative effects.

"Let's talk about these things later," said Li Ang.

"Yeah, it'll probably take a long time to explain."

Xiao Mo shrugged and said, "Then the question is, how do you know where the gate to the core of the machine city is?"

"Spiritual perception." Leon gave a reason that always works.

"Well, this door is indeed unusual. Your friend the wizard thinks so too."

Aqua said to Leon, "If you trust this person, I will continue."

"You've said that, what if you don't trust me?"

"Kill him. You've already become a demon, so it's okay to do some demonic things."

Xiao Mo stared at the edge of Li Ang's left sleeve: "Wait, I thought I saw it wrong just now, you——"

"It's a long story," Leon sighed, "I'll tell you later."

"Okay, I'll wait for your detailed explanation."

Li Ang was also helpless against the Water Dragon, a spirit that acted on its own accord. Fortunately, Xiao Mo was an old friend he could trust. He continued to ask, "What do you want to tell me?"

Aqua said, "The power that hides this facility comes from the Firstborn."

"I see. Only this level of power can block your perception."

When we talked about the Wedge of Creation before, the Water Dragon said? 4) It was the First Born who used his power to hide it, so the six dragons could not find it.

"Although it comes from the First Born, it's much weaker, otherwise you probably wouldn't be able to find it."

That’s hard to say.

Li Ang believed that the system had its own magic. There were several times when he could not see the panel information. It did not seem like the system was not powerful enough, but rather that the observed object itself used some special ability to avoid observation.

Simply put, he himself was not strong enough, and what he saw looked like a dummy or a phantom. Well, I'm talking about the elusive Faronio.

"What is a first-born?" Xiao Mo was confused beside him.

Leon ignored him. The meaning behind Aqua's words was worth pondering. He followed Aqua's lead and said, "The power comes from the Firstborn, but it wasn't done by them personally. Then who did it?"

"If it were the eldest sons, they would certainly look down on this imitation. The ones who would be afraid of it are of course those who claim to be their true blood descendants."

There was a hint of disdain in Aqua's tone.

A light bulb went off in Leon's head. Although he didn't get any directly relevant information, the information accumulated a long time ago, as well as the stories told by Meimei and Meluna, the game plot, and some things that Zoe would inevitably face, made him feel as if he knew the answer.

"The Deus?" he said speculatively.

Aqua nodded.

As expected, the Deus, or "God's People," left relics in the world and seemed to be the creators of the Star Soul and the controllers of the magical civilization. Although they also sounded like they had extraordinary divine power, Leon had never thought of them as the same as the first race born in the world, the "god image that was more in line with mortal cognition, and the eldest son of the true God."

“Why did they block this place off?”

"Of course I don't want future generations to master the power of this furnace, right?

"Stove?" Xiao Mo asked.

Yeah, the stove.

Leon knew it through the system, but Aqua obviously knew what was behind the door directly.

The Water Dragon didn't say much. Her water clone raised her hand and used magic to erase the power that had solidified on the gate.

In an instant, the entire door lit up.

She pointed to a bright spot where magic energy surged: "Next, it's your business."

Li Ang immediately understood that she wanted him to open the door, but this was not an operable mechanical structure, so there was only one answer.

He expanded his spiritual vision and removed the gate that was obstructed by the gods and people. The complicated spiritual lines had disappeared, and the current structure was something Le Ang could analyze clearly.

He aimed his spiritual power at the locking mechanism and pierced it. The next moment, the heavy metal door slowly opened with the sound of the mechanism operating.

At the entrance was a magnificent corridor, which looked like a building built for giants. The bright and wide hall extended inward until it reached another high wall that looked like it was made of light.

Starting from the entrance, countless words and symbols are engraved on the high walls that shine like gold. They are pictures that match the language, but they cannot be read with the knowledge Leon possesses.

[Hint: You have reached the hidden location: the Furnace of Creation. Please read more about the Island Forger to piece together the complete inheritance of skills.]

"Let's go."

Aqua's water clone took the lead and stepped forward.

297. The Furnace of Creation

As soon as he entered the passage, Leon immediately understood why this place was called "The Furnace of Creation".

Transport tracks, parked machinery, silent golems, the constant surge of fire and heat from the depths.

"Incredible!"

Xiao Mo looked around, constantly looking up and down, as if everything in the passage was very new to him.

"You live in a place full of factories, and even live with shadow factories that are independent of each other. Haven't you seen similar situations?" Li Ang asked him.

"What do you think of an ordinary factory? Even if it's technologically advanced, we all know that some things in ancient times are far beyond our current understanding."

The young man with animal ears looked at Li Ang as if he was meeting him for the first time.

What Xiao Mo meant was the reality that high-level air riders, including Leon, understood. The excavation and re-mastery of ancient powers was also a way for people today to move forward.

Speaking of the near future, the reason why the Empire can become the predetermined enemy of "Newbis Fantasy" and cause a series of destruction in Meme's world line is because the power behind it comes from ancient times.

"Have you seen it again?"

Xiao Mo asked back with a puzzled expression.

"To be precise, there isn't one, but..."

Li Ang thought about it and realized that the reason why he was not that shocked was mainly because he had been deeply impressed by similar things since some time ago.

The magnificent Martial Arts Forge Hall was Alafia's infinite weapon-forging domain. Perhaps the imagery in her mind came from the ancient heritage of the weapon race's bloodline.

The rails, the heat, and the flames—that is the mountain copper furnace of the Dome Furnace Society, the crystallization of the craftsmen’s creative power.

Huge golems have been seen in the Orichalcum Furnace, the basement of Cormac's Workshop, and the Star Palace of the Creation Tree Star Soul. They are the crystallization of various technologies.

Perhaps it is these things that form a shared impression, so when seeing the remains of the Island Maker, everything seems familiar.

But this also shows that the technology of the island builders is advanced enough to integrate these technologies from all parties to form a new wonder.

"No wonder."

Leon briefly talked about recent events and Morales nodded.

The young man with animal ears pointed deeper and said, "You have seen similar things, but how can you understand that a civilization that has been dead for who knows how long has their mechanical city core still functioning?"

A big part of what surprised Xiao Mo was the fire deep in the furnace of mechanical creation, the constant sound of its operation, and the hot air that kept blowing out.

"As a civilization capable of building a mechanical island, we might be able to keep some of its facilities operating until now," said Leon.

He even thought that neither the ancient ships he had seen before nor this metal island should be able to float.

Although Leon has never been to the Crimson Land, even if it is not a sphere, it has gravity similar to that of the past world. Ordinary sky islands are suspended in the air by the minerals inside the island combined with magic power.

But there must be a reason why this metal giant created by the island maker makes it float in the air.

Perhaps the reason lies in the furnace of mechanical creation, which is buried deep underground in the city of rudders and is known as the core of the mechanical city.

"It's surreal that people on the surface have lived like this for hundreds of years, and there are still things like this underground."

"Indeed, this is different from the situation in those Jedi secret realms."
