Chapter 577 Main Star Portal
That giant eye.
At the pupil's eye, there was a slowly swirling, absolute darkness, unfathomable.
It was as if even the light falling into it would emit a mournful howl.
The whites of his eyes shimmered with a cold, viscous, pale glow that was somewhere between liquid and gas.
The light didn't illuminate anything; instead, it made the surrounding starry sky appear even more desolate and aged.
At the same time, deep within Lin Qiye's mind, a shattered image suddenly exploded:
It was a shattered, burning starry sky.
Sorrow and desolation!
Countless enormous wrecks floated on the water, vaguely retaining the outlines of palaces, towers, and giant ships, but their material was neither gold nor jade, and they exuded a dim divine radiance.
The stars were shattered, turning into cold dust belts.
Within the cracks that stretch across the galaxy, flows solidified dark gold blood, emanating a mournful aura.
"Civilization...tombstone...cycle..."
"Do not seek...do not think of...do not look at..."
"Error...error...error...error...error..."
The intermittent thoughts, not sounds, were directly reflected in Lin Qiye's mental sea, filled with resentment and hatred!
However, it only lasted for a moment.
The next second, the giant eye vanished silently, as if it had never existed.
Outside the porthole, the starlight still flows eternally.
Lin Qiye turned his head and met the eyes of Chi Yan and Bing Yu behind him.
Their faces were solemn and respectful.
"Master, you've seen it." Chi Yan took a deep breath, his voice low, "That's the 'Eye of Godfall'..."
"That is the symbol of the Protoss ruins. In the direction it points, there lie the ruins of the Protoss, buried in the void for countless years, a forbidden zone for our Galactic Empire."
"It is filled with incomprehensible taboos and dangers. Usually, only the most powerful interstellar warriors are qualified to lead a team to explore it, and... the casualty rate is extremely high."
Lin Qiye recalled the grand, mournful cry that directly impacted his soul, and murmured to himself, "The gods...?"
"Yes," Chi Yan said, his gaze distant, as if recalling those long-forgotten documents deep within the courtroom.
"After tens of thousands of years of exploration and research by the Empire, our basic understanding of the Protoss ruins is that when the Protoss civilization, which ruled the endless sea of stars, was completely destroyed and annihilated, its remains and the last imprints of civilization formed these ruins."
"And their final collective obsession, resentment and regret at the time of their demise, after millions of years of sedimentation and the distortion of the rules of the universe itself, formed this 'cosmic ghost phenomenon,' which is the 'eye of the fallen gods' you just saw."
"As long as you get close to the spacetime region where the Protoss ruins are located, you may be able to 'see' them. They are a sign of the existence of the Protoss ruins, and also... a warning."
Ice Prison added coldly, "Legend has it that the gods did not perish naturally..."
She paused, seemingly choosing her words carefully. "The records in the dossier are vague, but they vaguely point to the fact that they were 'harvested' by... something indescribable and incomprehensible. That's why their resentment and hatred are so intense, so intense that even though civilization has turned to dust and the race has long since become extinct, that obsession is still imprinted on a specific time and space coordinate, like an unhealed scar in the universe, repeatedly oozing blood and pus."
"This is merely the gateway to the main star sector."
"All forms of warp jumps are prohibited ahead."
"Because the StarNet Torch in the core region of Taurus emits waves that block higher-dimensional space, any attempt to forcibly jump over it will be crushed by the space storm."
"Everyone, regardless of status, must pass through the 'Star Gate' to enter different areas of the main star sector according to their rank."
The warship slowly slowed down and approached a dark green planet surrounded by countless artificial celestial bodies.
Lin Qiye was surprised when he observed this so-called "gateway galaxy".
This mere portal is already ten times, or even a hundred times, more prosperous than the 0755 star system!
Here, artificial rings encircle each planet like a necklace, and the massive commercial space station is even larger than the mother planet of the 0755 system.
"Let's resupply here for a day. We need to apply for a Class C starport entry sequence from the Stargate Hub," Chi Yan explained.
The warships docked at the starport.
As Lin Qiye stepped down the gangway, the sheer awe he felt instantly overwhelmed.
In the 0755 star system, a martial artist at the extraordinary level is qualified to serve as the commander of the capital's guard and be revered by all.
But here, he looked around.
The port dispatchers who waved guide flags and skillfully directed the docking of giant containers all emanated extraordinary levels of spiritual energy!
Not only that.
In the distance, rows of ordinary patrol soldiers in uniforms, and various staff members...
These... they're all superhumans!
An existence that reigns supreme in the peripheral galaxies.
Here, they're just doing the most basic port duties?
He was secretly astonished: Is this the essence of the Taurus ruling planet?
Lin Qiye was marveling at the terrifying power of this main star region.
Suddenly, a cold, metallic alloy hand grabbed his left hand without warning.
Lin Qiye was slightly taken aback and turned to look.
Ice Prison, clad in a full set of Martial God armor, was looking down slightly. His expression was obscured by his mask, but the force pulling him was extremely firm, even trembling slightly.
Before he could react, he felt a familiar metallic touch on his right hand.
Chi Yan also reached out and tightly grasped his right hand.
Lin Qiye: "..."
At the bustling exit of the Starport, two judges, each nearly five meters tall and exuding an aura of menace, stood on either side of the court, like two bodyguards... no, like two mothers leading their children.
This striking visual contrast instantly caught the attention of passersby.
Ye Hongyu, who was following behind, rolled her eyes at the sight.
"This is insane, happening in broad daylight..."
Chen Tianyang, Zhou Ming, and Feng Zhentian pretended to be studying the architectural structure of the Starport, but their minds were in turmoil: Chief Lin's methods were simply extraordinary. Even the Tribunal, a ruthless adjudicator, had been subdued.
Chen Tianyang, in particular, secretly thought that the rumor that the Arbiter had given birth to President Lin's child must be true...
God!
How many great emperors would favor him!
