Chapter 313: Chapter 252: The Manager (First update, seeking monthly ticket)

(Something came up, so the update will be late. Apologies.)

"And what’s even more terrifying is, what about the ’spinal bone’ that remarkably resembles some kind of creature? If it really is the ’spinal bone’ of some creature, what kind of terrifying and primitive existence should this creature be? Could it be... the origin of everything? The answer to all mysteries? If there really is a so-called ’God’ in this world, perhaps... only this life-form connected to the ’spinal bone’... would be qualified!"

What Xingyu said was shocking to the core. Su Yu murmured, "Right... Maybe this ’spinal bone’ really is ’God’s’ spine... so later when you guys turned this spinal bone into a ship, were you trying to..." Suddenly, he understood the Atlanteans’ true intent in creating "Noah’s Ark", and a look of shock crept into his eyes.

"After the Atlanteans discovered the terrifying implications of this ’spine bone’, they decided to pursue the truth behind it all, to uncover some facts that had been submerged in the river of time... If this ’spine bone’ belongs to a certain creature... it’s bound to be beyond imagination. If this ’spine bone’ obtained power once again, perhaps... perhaps the ’spine bone’ might return to the body it originally belonged to... This was the Atlanteans’ speculation, and so, ’Noah’s Ark’ was constructed. The true motive behind building this ship was to search for the truth."

Su Yu was deeply shaken, having never expected the legendary "Noah’s Ark" to have such a stunning and terrifying origin.

"Sadly, what the Atlanteans didn’t anticipate was that once Noah’s Ark was created, they lost control of it, or rather, no one in this world could control this divine ship anymore."

Xingyu sighed deeply, gazing into the infinite dark void, his eyes kindling with a longing look.

"Once, I had the fortune of seeing it in a desolate world... it was truly... a miracle... I have a feeling, it is around here... the Divine Ship... will reappear. This time, I must seize the opportunity."

Xingyu, with his fists clenched and eyes skyward, knew this was their only last chance, both for him and Xiao Nan."

Su Yu was also filled with awe and yearning for this legendary divine ship.

That day, Su Yu spent time aboard this dark giant ship. Xingyu taught him a lot of combat techniques, greatly benefiting Su Yu. He also asked Xingyu for guidance on his own immature combat methods and techniques, such as how to deal with enemies who are proficient in long-range attacks, and how to make his spells more powerful. Only after listening to Xingyu did Su Yu realize that magical treasures could also evolve and upgrade.

With upgrades and evolutions, the capacity of magical treasures increase and can accommodate more energy, thereby also making the spells more powerful.

Xingyu also reminded him that since he has the thunder attribute, he should seize the opportunity to enter the "Sixth Space of the Thunder Element" if he gets a chance in the future because it would greatly aid his growth.

As they interacted more, Xingyu became a respected mentor and friend in Su Yu’s eyes. Although Xingyu’s character was somewhat childlike, when it came to combat, his insightful opinions could not be doubted. Su Yu had no choice but to admire him. This "artificial god", although not as omnipotent as a real god, was indeed unmatched in terms of combat power.

At one point, Xingyu even explained the principles and moves of his most proud "Five Great Destructions" to Su Yu, including the "Annihilation" technique that had previously destroyed whole groups of Silver Soldiers. This was one of the moves among the "Five Great Destructions".

This was the first time Su Yu encountered an ability that was on par with a divine technique. He listened with wide eyes and eagerly committed everything to memory. Although he couldn’t yet master these due to his current limitations, he knew they might come in handy in the future. Furthermore, some of the more profound theories were beneficial to Su Yu’s other skills.

On the second day, which was Su Yu’s third day in this world of trials, Su Yu checked the device on his left wrist, which displayed that there were 24 teams left.

As for Xingyu, he was already sitting in meditation on the deck of the ship’s cabin early in the morning. An invisible shield enveloped the dark giant ship. Xingyu sat on it, quietly waiting for something.

Xiao Nan also became very calm, staying inside the cabin, constantly gazing at the meditating Xingyu outside.

Even Su Yu felt a heaviness in his chest, as if something was pressing down on him, making it almost difficult to breathe. The dark sky was filled with a foreboding atmosphere, an ominous sense of impending doom like warning of an imminent storm.

In a distant space, there was a temple. At this moment, a pillar of light within the temple connected the top and bottom. Inside the pillar of light, the beautiful woman in the white robe was still closing her eyes, floating motionlessly as if in a deep slumber.

Beneath her feet, numerous scenarios were constantly being displayed. Each of them showed the current situation of every team in the dark world of trials. Only Su Yu and the giant ship that floated in mid-air were out of this scenarios’ range, unable to be displayed here. Of course, this was due to Xingyu’s abilities, as he had blocked some peeping power.

That dark giant ship had already become his domain, beyond the control of the white-robed woman.

Suddenly, this white-robed woman with her eyes closed and head bowed, showed a slight change in her expression, as if sensing something, and opened her eyes.

Inside the Temple, three void cracks appeared. Then, three figures stepped out of the cracks. In an instant, the Temple was filled with a golden glow, too dazzling to bear.

Aside from the golden armored figure that had appeared yesterday, capable of summoning "Xutedela’s Immortal Nine-headed deity", two more individuals in golden armor had joined.

One of them looked as if his body was a mechanical construct, but was entirely made of gold, like a golden robot. Golden cannon barrels protruded from his shoulders, both sides of his arms, and even behind him hung two giant artillery-shaped equipment. Two glowing light swords stuck out from both sides of his legs. His entire form resembled a humanoid machine monster.

The other golden figure had a pair of golden wings on his back, somewhat similar to the eagle-headed golden creature that had appeared before, but this figure had two curved golden horns on his head. His left arm was embedded with a golden shield, and a golden broadsword hung from his waist.

The sudden appearance of the three Golden People, their golden glow reflecting on each other, turned the Temple entirely gold. The white-robed woman floating in the center of the light column slightly furrowed her eyebrows and slowly said, "Are you truly intent on killing till none are left?"

"Xingyu is a traitor. His existence is a disgrace to the Sun Palace, the Guardian of the Black Iron world. We entered here to express our apology, doing what we must in the world you guard. Please forgive any offense," the Golden Person with the golden wings bowed slightly and said with a rough, low tone. There was a resolve firm as iron in his voice.

"You should know that this is the world I guard. Ensuring it remains unharmed is my duty. But... a big battle here... the devastation it would cause to this world is permanent... I cannot allow that..."

At this, the golden humanoid robot immediately stepped forward, voicing loudly, "Be silent. We entered here only out of respect that you are this world’s Guardian, not to ask for your opinion, nor to seek your permission. Guardian of the Black Iron world, I believe you should get this straight."

The light around the white-robed woman instantly "boom" expanded, seemingly infuriated by the golden robot’s words.

"Ah, looking for a fight? I don’t mind destroying this place—" The golden robot raised both his golden arms, an audible "clicking" sound echoing from them, turning its barrel, instantly sucking in a terrifying power, forming a vortex visible to the naked eye.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, another man’s voice resounded through the Temple. Following this, another light column "boomed" and lit up the Temple. Soon after, another figure appeared from this light column.

The white-robed woman converged the expanded light pillar and took a step back, surprised, "I didn’t expect your involvement?"

The golden figure with golden wings also moved one step forward, stopping the others, saying, "Liyaque, keep it down. Here, can you be less rude?"

"Humph..." The golden robot let down his arms and stepped back.

In the newly appeared light pillar, another figure floated up. He was a middle-aged man seeming to be in his thirties, yet the intelligence and vicissitudes radiating from his eyes implied countless years beyond that.

This man too was draped in a white robe, donning a look similar to the white-robed woman. A celestial light column circled him, making him seem extraordinarily glorious and sacred.

"Turns out it’s the world’s Guardian, as prestigious as you are, you should know what happened. Xingyu must be eliminated. We came only to fulfill that order. Honorable sirs, we ask for your permit." Said the golden figure with golden wings, his voice hoarse and deep, but very respectful.

The newly appeared white-robed man slightly bowed his head, saying, "I am aware. You may proceed to complete your mission. Plus, I thought of something interesting."

"Oh?" The three golden figures looked surprised, and the white-robed woman looked somewhat puzzled too.

From within the column of light, the white-robed man looked at the manifestations below and revealed a slight smile on his face. He said softly, "Xingyu’s dearest person is undoubtedly the human named Xiao Nan...Hmm...if she died...and this man-made god...I wonder how he would grieve...hehe..."(To be continued.
