Chapter 809: Chapter 373 "Observatory

What kind of information is crucial?

Time?

Space?

Layers?

Or...

Lin Yi had a flash of inspiration, and a thousand words converged into one sentence—

"Maozi, I’m here to save you!"

While Mao Feiyang was descending the stairs with numerous Art Students, his body suddenly shuddered, followed by a light in his eyes that did not match his temperament.

He seemed to be murmuring in a trance:

"Everything... proceed according to the plan..."

"It’s... not time yet..."

Lin Yi exclaimed: "What...?!"

However, before he could get more information, the Vision fluctuated again, and he lost contact with Maozi...

"Maozi he... no, we indeed have a plan!" Lin Yi’s eyes revealed a complicated yet joyful enlightenment, "Only I was unaware of this plan..."

"But speaking of which, is Liangzi part of our plan?"

Lin Yi couldn’t help but be momentarily dazed, and in that fleeting moment of haziness, his Vision changed again, and this time it was even more outrageous; he seemed to see...

An isolated island.

If it weren’t for the unique yellow-brown building materials of the Art Building spread all over, he would have thought his consciousness had been pushed overseas by the ’Holy Hall’s’ breath.

Everything here was made of massive yellow-brown rocks, each stone bearing the traces of years, rough surfaces covered with moss and marred with blotches of cracks, as if narrating stories of the past; towering high at the highest point of the Black Moon Outpost, it seemed nearly within reach of the sky...

"Wait... what is this place?!"

On this "isolated island," he actually saw a Bell Tower?!

The Bell Tower is the highest point of the entire Art Building, yet it seems it isn’t the only place; this mysterious island, nearly as high as the Bell Tower, but on the opposite side of the Art Building, is a vast open-air platform, enveloped in a serene and profound atmosphere.

An open-air platform?

No, that’s not right!

Under a storm, how could there be an open platform?

Indeed, he discovered that the platform wasn’t open-air, but instead covered by a completely transparent dome. Outside the dome was the oppressive sky, groups of Sneering Angels flying in the night sky, seeking opportunities to invade the tremendous invisible shield of the Art Building—the Art Building’s Defense Works were actually quite robust. Lin Yi realized that the only way for these invaders to "slightly more smoothly" invade the Art Building was only through the three Stone Bridges connected to the Watchtower and the Art Building.

Besides the Stone Bridges, an invisible shield formed a terrifying force field, repelling a large number of Sneering Angels.

"No, that invisible force field!"

The force field, wave after wave, resonated oddly with his wave of consciousness.

He certainly knew it had nothing to do with him, as the wave of breath, at its Root, was none other than the ’Holy Hall’!

The ’Holy Hall’s Domain, even at the edges of its breath, constituted a super protective shield sheltering the entire Art Building!

Incredible!

"This is the work of ’Designer’ Amon!"

Lin Yi also found that the Nocturnal species that covered the entire outer wall of the Art Building hadn’t appeared around this dome; it seems they hadn’t spread to this area yet?

That’s not right, with a Quantum giant clock like the ’Holy Hall’s Bell Tower being invaded, how could there be no movement here?

There must be something fishy!

He quickly looked around and indeed found a gate that was both open and closed. Strangely, when he looked at the gate, his consciousness penetrated underneath, revealing a narrow and winding stone staircase, with a few candle holders emitting faint light mounted on the walls of the staircase, the dim yellow light flickering unsteadily in the wind, casting twisted and deformed shadows on the walls...

He withdrew his attention and looked at the spacious platform, then noticed not far away a massive bronze-made Celestial Sphere.

The Celestial Sphere was already corroded, its full-bodied rust presenting a dark green color under the dim light; its gears and ring structures were intricate, like a forgotten Time machine.

It stood there quietly like a divine artifact eroded by the ages, waiting for someone to polish it anew.

It stood there quietly, as if adhering to an ancient mission, peering into the secrets of the universe...

"Is this... the Celestial Sphere? Could this be the mysteriously unattainable ’Observatory’ within the Art Building?!"

According to Old Mo, the Observatory had long been closed to the public, even Art Students needed specific qualifications to come here!

Had he really seen the Observatory?

Then, could it be that ’Star Moon Night’ is also here?!

Surrounding the edge of the Observatory was a row of stone columns reaching waist-height, carved with various mysterious Secret Marks, totems, and mystical symbols, which formed patterns of constellations through their enigmatic trajectories.

However, these carvings had become blurred under the erosion of years; the lines of the constellations seemed to be pulled and twisted by dark powers, the original symbols of hope and guidance now exuded an inexplicably eerie vibe.

In the center of the Observatory was a large circular stone platform, covered with ancient runes emitting a faint blue light, like a response from the distant stars...

Despite the current stormy winds and Grey Mist Invasion, this circular stone platform still gathered starlight; under the dark clouds, somehow beams penetrated and landed on the stone platform...
