Are you alright?”

At this moment, Andor’s voice rang out.

The Pirate Captain had originally seen Ian dare to directly connect to the relic’s data cable, and what flashed in his heart was actually ‘He’s so bold?!’ as well as ‘Eh, isn’t he supposed to capture me for experiments?’ Such a complex thought.

Although Andor was a pirate, he was actually quite concerned about the Labyrinth’s information; after all, on the Terra Continent, there were too many stories about people becoming powerful and rich overnight because of the Labyrinth, and it had become an opportunity that all unofficial Sublimators strived for.

Among those legends circulating among Adventurers, there were many about Sublimators who thought they had mastered the control of the Labyrinth, only to be killed by the self-regulating facilities inside.

Even more, there were rumors that some powerful Adventurers defeated Magical Beasts and guardian puppets and finally reached the Labyrinth’s Central Control Room, attempting to take control.

However, they were brainwashed by the controls, completely forgetting their identity as Adventurers and becoming the new Maze Masters, protecting the Labyrinth generation after generation.

Of course, this legend was too exaggerated, not to mention, living from generation to generation was obviously impossible.

Andor had thought that Ian brought him over just to test how to connect to this kind of relic communication system!

In fact, Ian had indeed done so, but it was in the future predicted by premonition.

Since there was no danger, and there were many benefits, that was why he took on the task himself.

——Prophets don’t need actual manipulation to perform reverse-time experiments and errors!

In any case, Andor had always been watching the young man’s expressions anxiously.

However, afterward, he saw Ian’s expression gradually change from excitement and anticipation to the current one, cold as ice.

This difference made him fearful—what unspeakable thing must he have seen to make this overly powerful White Folks genius reveal such a look, even betraying a faint hint of despair?

Could it be… they could no longer leave this relic and return to the surface?!

Andor’s voice roused Ian from his reverie.

He came to his senses and realized his previous expressions had revealed his true emotions, and he understood Andor’s worries.

Therefore, the young man sighed and answered, “It’s nothing, don’t worry.”

“I just felt that this relic is too oppressive, too dark and lightless.”

Putting aside the faint despair from earlier, Ian decided not to think about these issues anymore.

Whether it’s a natural disaster or man-made calamity, whether the destruction from the stars was about to descend upon Terra—whether his guess was right or wrong, none of it mattered to him at the moment.

What humans could do was only to stand firm in their conviction, and then face it all.

And to tell the truth, both the Interstellar Dust and the cosmic catastrophe had a doubtful point… according to them, Terra should be right in the center of this dust region and destruction zone.

Otherwise, the entire starfield’s spherical starmap wouldn’t be dimming in the same rhythm… but what makes Terra the center?

What humans should avoid the most is pride and arrogance; the universe’s destruction has nothing to do with who’s who, there must be a reason behind it all.

This is why Ian, until the very end, did not deny the possibility that some barrier had sealed off the entire Starfield.

Just like the Infernal Heaven’s prison.

But this guess had its flaws because if something really was enveloping the entire Starfield from the Oort Cloud, then the disappearance of the stars should be extremely regular and orderly, which wasn’t the case.

The stars’ disappearance was one here, another there, clearly the distant stars vanished first, and then their light couldn’t shine on Terra.

Of course, it’s possible that two events are happening at the same time… the entire Terra Starfield is being enveloped, and at the same time, the distant stars are being imprisoned by Star Prison Tianyu, which is why this situation had arisen.

It’s just that…

“If it really is so, then the existence that can create such a cosmic spectacle, how could any person or civilization withstand it?”

Shaking his head slightly, after satisfying his curiosity, Ian needed to face the real issues at hand.

“Check the power source’s heat dissipation and the cooling system of the base.”

Upon issuing the command to the Central Control Room, Ian quickly got the answer he needed.

[Power source heat dissipation status: Extremely dangerous!

Cores 1~7 unable to dissipate heat normally, Cores 11~15 on the verge of melting, fuel rods have come into contact with the cooling water!

Please immediately evacuate all personnel and living creatures from the surrounding sea area, initiate the emergency natural cooling process, and send maintenance machinery for urgent repairs!]

[Cooling system status: Running well, vacancy rate 73%]

[——Warning, warning!——]

[Detection of heat dissipation data not matching with cooling system operation data, conducting system check… Check successful!]

[No abnormalities]

“?”

Ian blinked, certain that what he saw was ‘No abnormalities’ rather than a danger warning, he was greatly surprised, “How can there be no abnormalities?

What kind of joke is this, what’s the reasoning here?”

“A cooling system with a vacancy rate of 73% plus abnormal heat dissipation, and you call this normal?

And with this base full of parasites, it’s basically a computer case crawling with cockroaches, and you even have a dragon and a giant moth carcass inside your cooling storage, and that’s no abnormality?!”

“Not to mention the cores on the verge of melting, the fuel rods in contact with the cooling water, isn’t that the spread of contaminating radioactive material?!

How can you say there are no abnormalities?!”
