Chapter 1559: Chapter 885:
“So what exactly are these so-called ties of fate?” Gu Jing’s spiritual energy tendrils glided around Meifenier, golden eyes brimming with intricate runes, “It’d be best not to brush me off with talk of prophecies.”
Meifenier’s bare feet barely touched the void, and the olive branch crown suddenly burst into a starlike halo. Airelian groaned, clutching her forehead, as Kao’er’s mechanical eye spun wildly, his gear staff tapping ripples of data in the air.
“Thirty years ago, you were ambushed by the Slaanesh Demon in the Norma Star System.” The halo revealed an image of Gu Jing drenched in blood, “The wounds that should have been corrupted by evil power seeped with silver flames, such power…”
Gu Jing’s pupils contracted abruptly. It was his first activation of the starfire seeded by his father in his bloodline, the only time revealed to outsiders. Spiritual energy detection showed no deceit from the other party, yet seven subspace deception techniques could still bypass the lie detection.
“You received an encrypted star message five days ago.” Meifenier flicked a shimmering rune from her fingertips, “Although the content couldn’t be deciphered, the sending coordinates were in the Comillas Star Zone, which was just blockaded by the Tai Clan Fleet three hours ago.”
Gu Jing’s right hand was suddenly wrapped by the wings of the Magic Lord of Thousand Changes. Kao’er’s mechanical voice echoed timely: “Verification complete, the coordinate data indeed comes from my private key repository. But I don’t recall granting access to the Spirit Race.”
“Enough!” Airelian suddenly flung out a memory fragment. In the image, Gu Hang was implanting some crystal into a baby’s swaddling clothes, with the ethereal shadow of the Spirit Race’s holy artifact floating around. “We observed the ripples of fate at your birth—this truth was exchanged for with the Eternal Prism by the Ark Council!”
The entire space suddenly froze. The bird-headed Great Demon behind Gu Jing issued a piercing screech, the blue light atop the magic wand nearly tearing through the illusion. Kao’er’s mechanical arm instantly projected twelve layers of shields, with 103,000 response plans flashing through the data stream.
“So the ’dirty things’ father mentioned included the Spirit Race.” Gu Jing suddenly laughed, his spiritual energy pressure tripling, “So you’ve been spying since forty years ago? No wonder he upgraded the Eternal Star Ring’s defense matrix seven times.”
Meifenier’s white robe suddenly seeped with blood, the olive branch crown showing cracks: “Please believe we fear Lord Gu Hang’s fury more than anyone. But warp rifts are devouring your border star systems, and every day’s delay sees a million souls fall into the Evil God’s maw!”
Kao’er’s staff suddenly projected a holographic star map. At the edge of the Scarlet Scar, twenty-seven light points were being extinguished. “Data source verified, it’s the loss report from the Third Star Region last week.” The Mechanical Sage’s voice came with metallic friction noise, “They at least got one thing right—the warp anomaly is spreading.”
Gu Jing’s fingertips unconsciously stroked the Thread of Thunder. Airelian’s Spirit Bone Armor suddenly showed burn marks; she was terrified to discover that the opponent could reverse-burn the soul along the threads of fate.
“I need to establish a spiritual energy link with father.” Gu Jing suddenly spoke, the Magic Lord of Thousand Changes behind him spreading 720 wings, “Don’t worry, it’s just a one-way report.”
Meifenier and Kao’er’s data streams collided fiercely in the void. After three seconds, the Mechanical Sage sighed: “They’ve modified seven key parameters, but the core logical chain is real.”
“No!” Airelian erupted with emerald flames around her, “Gu Hang’s spiritual energy traits are too obvious; it will attract the Slaughter Demon Army chasing us!”
Gu Jing sneered, tearing the Thunder Silk Thread apart. The dreamscape began to collapse, Meifenier’s phantom flickering: “Please wait! We can open part of the memory core…”
“Either let me contact my father, or you’ll continue wandering the warp for another sixty years.” Gu Jing’s figure gradually turned transparent, “By the way, the recent spiritual energy wave has already caught the attention of the Jian Qi Demon Emissary.”
Kao’er’s mechanical arm suddenly plunged into his own chest, extracting a glowing logic core: “Use my memory module as collateral. Lord Gu Hang modified this module— you should recognize the verification code.”
Meifenier’s white robe was completely stained with blood. She trembled as she held out a fragment of shattered crystal: “This is a shard of the Eternal Prism, your father might recognize it…”
When Gu Jing’s spiritual energy tendrils probed into the crystal, a torrent of countless memories exploded. He saw his father confronting the Spirit Race priestess amid starfire, saw the star ring defense matrix devour the Ark Fleet, and finally, the image froze on himself in swaddling clothes being injected with some silver rune.
“Authentication complete.” The wings of the Magic Lord of Thousand Changes suddenly folded into an egg shape, “But father once said, the promises of the Spirit Race are less trustworthy than the excrement of rats.”
Airelian’s pointed ears turned red with rage, but Meifenier locked her throat with spiritual energy. The precursor wiped golden blood from her lips: “We can accept encrypted star communication, but it must use the Sect of Mechanics’ holy artifact as a shield.”
Kao’er dismantled his right eyeball and tossed it into the air; the mechanical eye immediately expanded into a gear-filled shield: “This is the credential of Mars’ Founding General, capable of blocking subspace surveillance for thirteen seconds.”
Gu Jing’s spiritual energy finally began to weave the Starfire Runes. When the silver flames illuminated the entire space, Meifenier suddenly groaned and knelt, and Airelian fainted directly— all their forbidden memories about Gu Hang boiling deep in their souls.
“Father has agreed.” As the runes extinguished, Gu Jing displayed an amused smile, “But he wants Kao’er Sage to hand over ’that thing’ as collateral.”
The Mechanical Sage’s gear staff suddenly jammed, with sparks erupting from the joints: “As expected, couldn’t hide it…please inform Lord Gu Hang, the STC template will be handed over once we reach the Super Sea Star.”
