A journey of Shadowverse and Honkai Impact 3rd

"..."

Coming to the very center of the building, at a height of more than ten meters that is beyond the reach of ordinary people, on a high table-like column platform sits a graceful suspended cube quietly. The clear blue is mixed with pure white, and it has a unique simple beauty.

The length, width and height are all exactly three meters. As it rotates quietly, a subtle wave-like arc appears on its surface, as if it will undergo a shape change in the next moment and turn into another geometric body.

Xilin thought this thing was very beautiful, as if all the beauty of the entire building was concentrated on it.

Sera felt that based on what she perceived about the building, this geometric object should be some kind of operating terminal.

"Xilin, please help me keep an eye on the surroundings while I try to synchronize with her." After getting off the boat, Sera no longer maintained a state of physical and mental fusion with Xilin.

"Well, I'll take a look, but there's no trace of Honkai energy in here, and the energy used isn't Honkai energy either. This is really quite strange."

After looking around again and confirming that there was no trace of Honkai energy in her perception, Xilin was very surprised.

The concentration of Houkai energy outside is so high that it can give birth to a Herrscher, but the inside is like an insulator and does not contain any Houkai energy at all. What kind of isolation technology can create such a situation?

An Ning's spacecraft was hovering in a tall building. The detectors around it were constantly collecting a large amount of original data, which was transmitted to the space station at home through the debugged base station. The observatory, which served as a message transfer station, also received the message.

Fimi, who had painstakingly sorted out and deciphered the language of the Three Heavenly Dragons, was still in high spirits, as if she had endless energy. For greater efficiency, she even slightly exceeded her functional limits, using a technology called "Original One" to increase the upper limit of her own body.

"Well, Ochis sent me a message earlier, saying that Mom and the others had already left. I'm going to see what the message that was sent back says."

Realizing that the observatory had received new information, Fimi devoted part of his attention to excitedly opening the real-time message. He saw that in a huge, rough-style factory-like building, an exquisite geometric shape was constantly transforming, and under the wrapping of Sheng Qing's mana, a continuously changing operating interface was displayed.

Well, Sera's mom is operating, and Xilin's mom should be watching over it or something...

After recognizing the two familiar mothers in the picture, the black-haired girl couldn't help but pay more attention to what was happening in the picture. Just by paying attention, she recognized some familiar text on the operating interface formed by geometric shapes.

Those are various words used in booting up or authentication of permissions, which simply require the user to authenticate the operating permissions before entering the next operation interface.

beep beep...

Geometry is not a product like a magic book. Although the art of synchronization can allow Sera to find a way to open it, further operation undoubtedly requires the correct method.

Just as she was thinking about what the right approach was, assistance from home came with the light and shadow emitted by the spacecraft, explaining the current situation to Sera.

"If you don't have permission, you can't proceed to the next step."

After obtaining the consent of the space station commanders, Fimi made a remote broadcast from the observatory, clearly bringing his words to the distant abyssal alien space.

"Mom, I suggest not using brute force or anything like that for now. If you have enough time, you might as well explore other places. Maybe you can find the authority to pass the authentication."

The changing geometric shape returned to its original plain cube shape. After listening to Fimi's advice, Sera slowly landed on the ground. What she had to do next was to use the space teleportation technique to go to other places.

"Listen to Femi. If you use brute force, it will be bad if something goes wrong."

Sera said this to Xilin, and Xilin looked at the cube for a few more times with lingering feelings, and then turned around to prepare to copy one as a decoration in her dream nest.

Spatial fluctuations appeared, enveloping the entire spaceship and the two people inside, and flashed towards other areas. In the spatial vision of the two people, the clusters of Honkai energy could not obscure the entire view of the buildings surrounded by them, and their corresponding spatial coordinates were transparent and straightforward.

Moving rapidly, I witnessed many factories. Although the layout had changed, the key geometric terminals and the very normal and suitable living environment had not changed. Naturally, there was no possible authority carrier.

Sera and Xilin went back and forth to hundreds of factories, and the spatial coordinates they recorded were so many that they could be connected together to form a map. After wasting mana in this fruitless way, Sera changed her mind.

She connected the spatial coordinates she obtained in series and combined them with the scene of the collapse energy crystal cluster she had previously seen from above the sea. When they matched them one by one, she found confirmation.

The areas surrounded by relatively sparse clusters of Honkai energy crystals should be pipelines for transmitting energy, while the areas surrounded by relatively dense clusters of Honkai energy crystals are mostly large factories.

"Let's go take a look here. According to the temporary map, this is the center of the entire network. Perhaps we can gain something."

As the words fell, the space teleportation was carried out again by the combined efforts of the two. In the sudden bright and clear light, they saw new things.

A huge and strong creature sat down against the wall. Although its flesh and blood were full of vitality, it did not react at all to the movements of the outside world.

According to biological classification, this should be a Tyrannosaurus.

312. Planetary Field

A living prehistoric species appeared before people's eyes. Looking out from the porthole of the spacecraft, although this overlord was not the mythical species that Sera had seen, the majesty around it was extraordinary.

It seemed to be dead, but it still seemed to have its last breath in its throat. The excessive vitality formed a pure majesty around it, making people dare not act rashly against it.

If you think about it carefully, this can also be considered as the dragon's pressure, as the overlord at the top of the food chain, the evidence of the dignity it radiates to the species born on the planet in the future.

The era they live in is far older than that of humans, and the civilization they created was exposed to the Honkai Impact earlier than humans...

Although they also disappeared in history earlier and became ancient fossils occasionally seen in the strata, from the current perspective, they seem to have left behind some mysterious tricks just like the pre-civilization era of mankind.

Sera came back to her senses from the surprise of seeing the prehistoric species, and then carefully walked down the spaceship with Xilin, walking towards the giant beast that was leaning, or rather, slumped on the edge of the wall. Every move she made changed the atmosphere of the home observatory and the space station.

"Prehistoric species, according to records, were active in ancient times measured in billions of years."

Ochis's cold words revealed the identity of the Tyrannosaurus. Although she was not an archaeologist, she still felt a little respect for this ancient creature.

Like other space station commanders, respect is not offered for its pressure, but for the time and years it embodies.

It is so ancient that even a living being is a precious treasure in itself, embodying precious value that transcends time, like a jar of fine wine, which becomes more fragrant with age.

"What a huge creature! I wonder who is stronger, it or Sheriff Ulna?"

A commander had a sudden idea and brought up the topic of beast fighting in the control room where everyone could hear.

"In terms of size, Sheriff Ulna is not a heavyweight like it, so he should not have been subjected to such torture."

As the topic deepened, the cheerful atmosphere spread throughout the control room. However, in the huge factory where Sera and Xilin were, the giant beast in front of them was not happy at all.

At close range, their good hearing could hear the beating of its heart like a drum and thunder, and saw its body constantly rising and falling as if it was taking a long, deep breath.

Various signs indicate that it still has physiological manifestations, but in human perception it presents a faint sense of nothingness.

Sera spoke the language of the spirit, a language that communicated based on the spirit of living beings, which always worked well, but at this moment it did not bring any happy results.

This Tyrannosaurus just sat alone by the wall, like a tall and lush old tree, solid as a rock, unable to be shaken by the outside world. Even if Xilin, who had no respect for it, made her own angry noise as an "ant", it remained indifferent.

It just sat there with its eyes closed, motionless, letting time pass by minute by minute.

"Hey, hey, hey! Big guy, if you don't get up, I'm going to spank you hard!"

Xilin shouted as if in a provocation, but although she tried her best, her voice was still too small compared to the heartbeat of the Tyrannosaurus. Just as she was about to continue shouting, Sera stopped her.

"Shhh."

With a finger raised in front of her mouth, she made a gesture of silence. Fearless, Sera walked straight forward, put her hand on the body of the Tyrannosaurus, and directly checked the condition of the Tyrannosaurus.

The holy green mana flowed into the giant beast's body bit by bit, from bottom to top, through all its blood vessels, bones, and finally to its brain. While sensing its vigorous vitality, Sera finally understood its situation.

"Sera, what do you think? Is this guy sleeping soundly?"

Only after Sera moved her hand away did Xilin ask impatiently. Looking at her determined expression, it seemed that she believed that whenever Sera took action, there would be results, and in fact, it was indeed so.

However, the result Sera obtained seemed somewhat strange. This was the first time she encountered such a situation.

"It's not sleeping," Sera replied.

"All that's left here is its body. Its soul and spirit are empty."

"It can be said that although it is still alive, it is no different from being dead."

Hearing such remarks, Xilin simply uttered an "oh", and then, with her novel thinking, she brought up a topic that made Sera lose her composure.

The cute purple-haired girl jumped onto the Tyrannosaurus's limbs with curiosity. After kicking it with her feet and touching it with her hands, she suddenly spoke.

"Sera, what do you think this big guy tastes like?"

It seems that facing the "dead" Mr. Tyrannosaurus, Xilin has already regarded it as a consumable, and tried to have a taste of it with the mentality of "it would be a waste if you don't eat it".

After all, he is already dead, so this can be regarded as letting him play his posthumous value~

"Xilin, stop it. Everyone is watching what's going on here. Sooner or later, you'll ruin your reputation in the family."

She first persuaded loudly, and when Sera saw that Xilin listened, she took the girl who had jumped down to the center of the factory. In the area connected by densely packed crude instruments, there was a geometric terminal suspended on the pedestal without exception.

But the geometry here is different. Compared to those azure and shining changing fluids, the cubes here are strict solids that will not undergo even the slightest change, giving people a sense of immobility like a mountain.

"Mom, why don't you try that Tyrannosaurus? Maybe its body tissue can help us pass the authorization verification."

Femi's voice was amplified by the spacecraft's device and transmitted to the factory, and it reached Sera's ears without any surprise, but the girl did not adopt this suggestion.

Because, as they got closer and closer to the cube, some kind of certification that Sera held was emitting a mysterious heat in an unknown area.

The whole body felt warm, as if immersed in the hotel's hot springs. A transparent and warm feeling swept over the whole body. Even if it could not cover up the pain of the trial of the disaster hero, it could silently weaken it a little.

"Well, Fimi, you're right. However, I have something important to do right now, so I might be away for a while. I'll leave the homestead to you guys from now on."

Sera smiled, her bright expression without a trace of gloom, as if she was a lady about to go on an outing.

"Well, Xilin, hold on to me and don't fall behind."

The certification, which existed nowhere, took effect. Without any startup steps or assistance, infinite light flooded the place, and as something emanated from the distant deep realm, it gave gentle comfort to the alien space in the abyss.

At a special place and time, the planetary realm of Earth was opened to special people, and in the deepest part of the planet, where even the cocoon of the end could not reach, the planet itself was waiting.

This is the revelation that Apocalypse gave to Sera. In the strange space of the abyss, she can accomplish two things.

One is the exploration of the alien space in the abyss, and the other is to be invited to the planetary realm and come face to face with the awakened earth.

313. Celestial Bodies

The earth has many meanings in Serra's mind.

For example, the space-time itself that supports everything, or the solid structure made of sand, stone and soil.

It's just that this is the first time we've met face to face from the perspective of the stars.

It was not a shape similar to the forest land in my memory, nor was it an animal or a human, but simply an endless brilliance, flickering like waves between heaven and earth, like an expression of divinity, a fusion of all things in the sky, earth, and ocean.

Because of her identity as the mother planet, she can call it She, and because of her identity as the star, she can also call it He.

"here it is?"

Grabbing Sera's little hand, Xilin, who did not fall behind, also came here as her qualifications were recognized. In this area that should have been empty, she saw the celestial will that was not high and mighty.

She is everywhere here, or rather, the planetary realm they have reached is her spiritual interior, whether it is light or time and space itself, they are all her forms of existence.

"..."

She did not answer, like a shy woman who had clearly welcomed her into the room but was too shy to speak. She only dared to glance at Sera and Xilin inadvertently with her bright and watery eyes.

As for Xilin, she knew.

He was once the Herrscher of the Sky, the messenger of God who brought destruction and disaster to the earth. But now, he has embarked on the righteous path, which is rare.

As for Sera, she didn't know much.

Singularities created in many world lines are unknown existences that may lead the fate of a planet onto a completely new path. They can be said to be miracles in the evolution of life, but they can also be said to be kindness from outer space.

"This place is the planetary realm, in other words, the interior of the Earth."

Sera answered Sirin's question and carefully observed the surrounding environment. With her outstanding eyes, she could see that everything here was the embodiment of a certain will. The all-encompassing attributes immediately reminded her of the World Tree, Lord Yggdrasil, whom she had seen before.

However, she also had a subtle thought, that is, compared with Lord Y'ktrasil, the expression of the corresponding characteristics here seemed to lack depth, and failed to have the perfect natural meaning of the Mother of Creation.

"Ah, the interior of the Earth? What will we encounter there?"

Xilin was shocked. She knew a little about what Sera meant by the interior of the earth. She was no longer the illiterate person she used to be. After being fed with knowledge by others tirelessly, she understood what the interior referred to.

The core of a celestial body is, in the sense of mysticism, a synonym for heaven, heaven, and other high areas. Although it may appear differently for different celestial bodies, it is undoubtedly an extremely secret place.

Only those who are not talented can reach it, and only those who are not recognized can reach it...

"Who knows? It all depends on what Mother Earth thinks."

As soon as Sera finished speaking, the communication from her arrived. Just like the collapsed god that Xilin had seen, her words rang directly in the mind, and people could understand her meaning without the need for voice transmission.

"The first child died and his body was buried in the deep sea.

From the scorching ashes, milky white relics were forged.

The second child fell down and his spirit was lost in the grave.

From that hunched back, a heavy mountain grew."

The first words she spoke were filled with a suffocatingly rich flavor of a riddler. The mysterious meanings referred to so many things that it was impossible to understand what she wanted to say.

"If you can, please explain it more clearly."
