Chapter 1268: 946

Su Yu didn’t dodge or block, allowing Qin Jiagui to bomb against his body, he let out a slight grunt from his lips, but he kept pressing down on Qin Jiagui, immobilizing him.

Zhang Zhongmou also jumped out, angrily shouting, "Old Qin, what are you doing, why are you attacking Su Yu?"

The others looked at everything unfolding before them, exchanging puzzled glances, while above the void, the Sky-gazing Giant Eye and the rest of the Valiant Death Knights, along with the Master of Rules and the Spear of Orthodoxy, had already swiftly retreated completely.

The original sky regained its tranquility, but the earth below seemed as though a pot had exploded.

It was only after the enemy forces, including the Sky-gazing Giant Eye, retreated cleanly that Su Yu finally let go of Qin Jiagui.

Qin Jiagui could not find the words to speak, his only response was a wild roar as he charged towards the void, quickly vanishing into the stratosphere.

Feng Ya clutched at Su Yu, hoarsely screaming, "Su Yu, why, don’t you like Lei Leian, why didn’t you make a move to save her? Why—"

The others around were somewhat silent. In their minds, Su Yu was someone who would bravely confront any situation for his friends, even risking his own life to prevent these people from taking the Master of Rules, to protect Yuan Niping. But today, why had he acted so out of character?

What had happened to him?

Silent, Su Yu didn’t speak, and suddenly, Ada on his shoulder burst into a roar, "What are you arguing about? The enemy’s strength is far greater than ours. If we were to fight to the death now, not only would we fail to save them, it could kill all of us—"

Su Yu looked at Ada, knowing that only Ada understood his intentions. He didn’t care any less about Lei Leian, nor was he indifferent to Yuan Niping’s well-being or safety of his friends. It was just, according to the Chief of Heroic Spirits, it seemed she wouldn’t kill the Master of Rules immediately after abducting her but wait to hand her over to her "master," and since Yuan Niping was a Valiant Death Knight, she should be safe for the moment.

Therefore, they still had time. The most crucial part now was that Su Yu had just received something taught to him by the Golden Emperor and he needed time to comprehend it. Once he understood, he would have confidence to face the Chief of Heroic Spirits and the Sky-gazing Giant Eye, and then he could rescue Lei Leian and Yuan Niping. Right now, time was of the essence.

He needed time, and openly confronting them now was obviously not wise. He needed the time that the Sky-gazing Giant Eye had bargained for on his behalf.

But trying to explain all this seemed exceedingly difficult. Su Yu slightly shook his head, unwilling to explain, he simply muttered in a low voice, "You all... must trust me..." Once he had said these words, he stomped his foot and shot into the sky, instantly disappearing from this world.

Zhang Zhongmou looked up and called out, "Su Yu, no matter what you choose, I’ll trust you. Dammit, if anyone dares to speak ill of Su Yu, my fists don’t recognize faces."

Su Yu was gone, and yet Qin Jiagui quickly returned, it was clear he had pursued but hadn’t found any trace of the others. The universe was vast and boundless; without any clues, he had no choice but to return.

Qin Jiagui’s eyes were red with urgency, immediately upon his return, he screamed, "Where’s Su Yu, where is Su Yu—"

His boiling rage was directed squarely at Su Yu.

Ada looked at him, shaking his head slightly, "Qin Jiagui, cool down. You’ve seen for yourself the strength of that Chief of Heroic Spirits and the Sky-gazing Giant Eye. Do you really think we have the power to save your Yuan Niping now? Such rashness will only get you killed. After all that we’ve been through, have you not changed at all, still as impulsive as ever?"

Qin Jiagui howled, "How do you expect me to stay calm when Ni Ping was right before my eyes, and yet... yet I was powerless to do anything, watching helplessly as she was taken away—"

Zhang Zhongmou also frowned, "Old Qin, at least now you can be sure your girlfriend is still alright, and you know roughly where she is. She seems to be living well and doesn’t seem to be in any danger, so what’s the rush? Let’s all put our heads together and think of a solution."

Taking a deep breath, Qin Jiagui calmed down a bit, and Feng Ya also gradually settled down, remembering Su Yu’s last words and what Ada had said about the opponents being far stronger. She realized that even if Su Yu had fought to the death, it would only have been at the expense of his life, without saving anyone—pointless in the end.

"Su Yu is on the verge of a very special breakthrough, you need to give him time. He didn’t act earlier because, at that moment, there was no chance of winning. But just give him time to gain insight, and our odds of winning will greatly increase. Then it’ll be not too late to save Lei Leian and Yuan Niping. You’ve all been cultivating for so many years, how can you still be so impatient when something arises?"

Ada looked at the people before her with some impatience and then turned to Qin Jiagui, "You’ve been looking for your wife for decades now, can’t you even wait a little longer? Follow me and let’s go down to take a look. There’s something quite weird about this planet."

While speaking, Ada slightly raised her head to look into the void, silently pondering, "I’ve already secretly marked the body of the Master of Rules. Wherever she is taken, I will know. Su Yu, everything now is entrusted to you... The things that the Golden Emperor taught you... can you defeat the Chief of Heroic Spirits with them?"

After being reprimanded by Ada, Qin Jiagui gradually calmed down, remembering that Su Yu was not the type to leave someone to die. He must have his reasons for his actions. As Ada said, they were not strong enough right now. Even if Su Yu and Ada made a move, it would only be suicide. It would be better to wait for Su Yu to make a breakthrough and become stronger before attempting a rescue. At least there would be more certainty then.

"I understand now. I owe Su Yu an apology. I misunderstood him just now."

After pondering, Qin Jiagui felt a bit alarmed. Every time he encountered something related to Yuan Niping, he would panic. Thinking about how he had just swung his fist at Su Yu made him feel even more uneasy.

Ada shook her head and said, "Don’t disturb him anymore. In fact, Su Yu is probably more anxious than anyone right now; he just needs time... The best thing we can do is to trust him. Let’s go, follow me down there. I have a certain premonition; there might be something very unexpected hidden inside this planet, something that might even be able to resolve the predicament we currently face."

Ada had recognized those Charm characters in that space built of steel at the core of the planet and had a faint guess about what was related, so as soon as the Sky-gazing Giant Eye and the people from the Hall of Spirit Heroes left, the first thing she thought of was to enter the hole below to find out what was truly there.

Qin Jiagui, Zhang Zhongmou, and others nodded their heads. There was nothing else they could do at the moment. In the short term, they couldn’t significantly increase their strength through cultivation. They were still no match for the terrifying Sky-gazing Giant Eye or the mysterious Chief of Heroic Spirits. Seeing Ada place such importance on the space forged in steel inside the planet, Qin Jiagui and the others also became curious. What secret was hidden inside this planet?

This time, led by Ada, Qin Jiagui, Zhang Zhongmou, Qing Huang, Zhao Shichang, Meng Ting, and others jumped into the gaping hole in the ground.

Descending along the way, they quickly reemerged in the space filled with tombstones.

This was the very place they had arrived at before – and then they were attacked by the Valiant Death Knights so fiercely that Ada and the others had to rush out without the chance to examine it closely.

"Don’t look at these tombstones. They possess a very strange power that can bewilder the soul. Once trapped inside, without considerable strength, you won’t be able to leave," Ada solemnly warned everyone. The others, listening to her words, felt a chill. Zhang Zhongmou and others, having had previous encounters, certainly did not dare to look anymore and also cautioned others not to do so.

Following behind Ada, the group passed through the space filled with towering tombstones and gradually a city buried within the "heart of the planet" began to appear before them.

This was a City of Steel, silent within the interior of the planet, its history unknown. There were no signs of life within the City of Steel, but at its center stood a very strange steel apparatus.

The device looked like an enormous steel pillar with thick copper-like threads wrapped in continuous circles around the pillar.

No one knew how many times the copper threads were wrapped around the pillar. It went from the bottom to the top, where at the very peak, another super-large and seemingly complex precision instrument was placed. This instrument had eight angles, with a faint blue glowing ring hanging down from each corner, slightly rotating and emitting a "hissing" strange noise.

"What is this thing..." Many people widened their eyes, looking at each other, curiosity visible in their expressions.

Ada leaped swiftly to the top of the city walls of the City of Steel to watch the huge, bizarre apparatus in the center. She vaguely felt that the terrifying gravitational force of this planet might be connected to that central bizarre apparatus.

"Ada, what is this? Do you recognize it?" Zhang Zhongmou, who was following behind, couldn’t help but ask.

He had just asked his Category 5 Lifeform, the White-headed Zhu Yan, but unfortunately, since arriving in this starry universe, the once knowledgeable White-headed Zhu Yan knew nothing and was just as baffled as Zhang, leaving only Ada who seemed to know a bit more.

Hearing Zhang Zhongmou’s question, Ada murmured, "This is the masterpiece of a once glorious civilization... It represents the highest achievement of that bygone, brilliant civilization, and even I... am seeing the legendary Ye’katel Coil for the first time..."

"The Ye’katel Coil? What is that?" Zhang Zhongmou asked curiously.

Ada stretched her little paw and pointed towards the central area’s massive cylinder wrapped in countless copper wires, slowly saying, "That is the Ye’katel Coil... the most outstanding crystallization of the Mesopotamian civilization, which once shook the very foundations of the universe. It’s the ’Demon Coil’ that was cursed by the gods."
