Chapter 660: Inside the Sanctuary

A Life Titan's corpse!

The rest of the crowd couldn't help but reveal shocked expressions on their faces. Just how powerful the Titan race was, the Fallen Titan that had just appeared had already proven everything to them.

Hearing this, Li Yu's expression remained unchanged. He shook his head and said: "Impossible. The Annihilation Device would conceptually lock onto all lifeforms that can be called Titans and launch attacks on them."

"Not even a corpse would be left behind."

"Conceptually lock onto all lifeforms that can be called Titans?" Codri was somewhat bewildered, only understanding the meaning of this sentence after a moment.

"Is it really possible to do that?" Yasini couldn't help but say.

"No wonder the Titan Civilization perished, yet not even a corpse could be found in the various major ruins."

As for people like Dark Star and Hunter, it was even difficult for them to understand the meaning of this sentence in a short period of time.

"It is indeed like this..." Andrei sighed inwardly. Only then was he certain that Li Yu truly knew the inside story, rather than just accidentally hearing a name.

"They succeeded?" Codri couldn't help but ask.

"No..." Andrei shook his head: "They failed. The Annihilation Device didn't leave them enough time. However, their experiment succeeded on a corpse."

"Didn't that Fallen Titan just now succeed?" Yasini asked in confusion.

"Fallen Titan is just the name we gave them. The true Titan Civilization wasn't even willing to give them a name." Andrei sighed somewhat:

"Titans are a proud race. Letting them survive by polluting their own Bloodline is no different from being destroyed. Moreover... that guy was also an accident."

The crowd Looked at Each Other in Dismay. Rather than feeling generosity and solemnity from this behavior, they felt somewhat Speechless.

"What use do you have for obtaining this corpse?" Li Yu continued to press.

Andrei fell silent, seemingly somewhat hesitant. He looked at the faint smile on Codri's face, which was filled with contempt, just like how he used to look down on him.

This made him unable to help but say: "Originally it was of no use. But after I was revived by the Salvation Ark, I learned that they had a special Spiritual Body internally, born from a Titan after its death."

"I don't know how they obtained it. Perhaps it was also an attempt by a Titan trying to escape the Annihilation Device."

"So I pondered, if I could integrate that special Spiritual Body into that corpse and awaken it through a special method, I would obtain a living Titan."

Codri was slightly startled. This guy had this intention?

"Unfortunately, I met an Idiot and ruined the rise of the Salvation Ark." Andrei said coldly.

"Are you talking about the Overlord?" Li Yu was somewhat surprised. He remembered that thing didn't seem to have much resistance against him, or rather, against Titans.

"Heh, I don't believe you were considering it for the Salvation Ark. You definitely had a way to Cuckoo in the Nest and let yourself control that corpse." Codri shook his head.

"That's right, it's like this." Andrei admitted, but then added: "But I didn't plan to abandon the Salvation Ark either. I originally could have brought you to new heights. Unfortunately, I met an Idiot!"

Codri's expression suddenly sank.

Li Yu glanced at him, suddenly budding an idea, and immediately said: "There's no need for you. The Salvation Ark will also reach a new level. I will obtain that corpse and give it to the Salvation Ark."

A hint of mockery flashed through Andrei's eyes, clearly not believing it, but he also didn't speak to avoid angering Li Yu.

Codri glanced at Li Yu, remaining silent and Noncommittal.

Since he learned the whole story, Li Yu refocused his gaze on the Titan Sanctuary and said to Tu Ying: "Go try and see if you can open it."

The sturdy Tu Ying nodded, walked to the doors of the Titan Sanctuary, and slowly placed his hands on it.

In an instant, a certain change occurred on the doors of the Titan Sanctuary. Flowing Light dispersed, energy surged, and a golden Light Beam shot into the sky.

"It says my... Bloodline is impure, but meets the minimum Authority standard..." Tu Ying said with a strange expression.

At the same time, all energy focused on the doors of the Sanctuary. And the convergence of such massive energy also triggered changes in the cosmic structure.

Centered around the golden Light Beam of the Titan Sanctuary, the space within tens of millions of kilometers began to crumble.

A large number of bizarre rift-like patches appeared in the Starry Sky filled with twisted Flowing Light.

Various mysterious buildings appeared out of thin air, then slowly collapsed and dissipated.

Titan fortresses, Life Prism Obelisks, and mysterious massive starports appearing out of thin air seemed to demonstrate the former power of the Titan Civilization.

However, now they were all lifeless, like grotesque things invading reality from a dream.

"What are these?" Codri looked around.

"These are Space-Time Projections of the Titan Sanctuary, reflecting reality at a certain period of time." Li Yu could feel the chaotic space-time around him:

"When energy gathered to a certain extent, it destroyed the foundation of the Universe, causing space-time disorder, so these things popped out."

"Will there be any problems?" The Hunter was somewhat worried.

"These Space-Time Projections are of no use, just useless empty shells..."

This scene didn't last too long. The golden Light Beam erupting from the Titan Sanctuary was rapidly shrinking back, condensing into a sphere, like a golden sun.

The surrounding space vibrated violently, countless temporal rifts rapidly emerging and disappearing in a flash.

Some colorful light curtains resembling auroras appeared in the Starry Sky. As if attracted by something, they began to move towards the Titan Sanctuary.

At the same time, the golden sphere at the core was rapidly expanding, quickly growing to the size of a sun.

Then it stopped in this state and began to frantically Absorb all energy around it!

This method of opening far exceeded everyone's imagination. The doors on the Titan Sanctuary seemed to be just a decoration.

The dazzling golden "star" seemed to be suddenly attacked by something. It trembled violently, and black cracks suddenly covered its surface!

Boom!

It completely exploded, forming a dark and silent passage. It didn't belong to Spatial Channels, nor did it belong to Dimensional Passages, and it even less resembled Information State Passages.

And Tu Ying had disappeared from his spot at some point.

"Keep an eye on this place!"

He issued an order. Both the Death Star and Istrala rushed over from the outside, their mechanical pupils locking onto all lifeforms present.

Li Yu's eyes were clear, and he stepped inside without hesitation.

In an instant, his thoughts seemed to detach from his Corporeal Form, his consciousness drifting in an empty and bizarre space.

When he slowly woke up, his first sensation was that he was floating in an boundless ocean of light, as if even his Corporeal Form had disintegrated.

However, this feeling only lasted for less than a second. As his consciousness completely cleared up, that empty and ungrounded feeling also rapidly faded away.

Li Yu controlled his body to make a fist-clenching motion, Thunderous Surge. Thus, in an instant, he felt his Corporeal Form return.

He looked down at his body, confirming there seemed to be no problems with it.

Where is this place?

At this time, he also noticed that the surrounding environment seemed somewhat strange. There was nothing around, only endless Golden Radiance slowly undulating.

There was no Earth below, nor a sky above. He couldn't feel Gravity or air.

Apart from the Golden Radiance around him, his various senses discovered nothing else. This feeling seemed to be floating In interstellar space.

Li Yu slightly moved his limbs, confirming his body was fine.

Then he looked around, but within his line of sight, there was only endless golden light.

This golden light was bright but not blinding. They formed continuous stretches floating around him, their gentle and slow appearance like flowing water ripples.

The naked eye couldn't judge exactly how vast the range of this light was, and for a moment, he couldn't determine where the source of this light was.

Right now, the only thing Li Yu could be certain of was that it was harmless.

In fact, quite the opposite, it gave people an intimate and gentle sense of familiarity.

Putting on the [Virtual Goggles], Li Yu looked at the massive amount of information on his status bar, somewhat dumbfounded.

[God-King Form -- From Odin...]

[Lord of Thunder -- ...]

[King of War -- ...]

Because the duration of the God-King Form hadn't ended yet, there was a bit too much information on the status bar.

He finally found the buff regarding this light in the status bar with great difficulty.

[Sea of Life -- You are in the Sea of Life, your body's recovery speed is greatly enhanced.]

"Sea of Life..." Li Yu muttered.

Inside the Titan Sanctuary, there was only the endless Sea of Life. Unlike what Li Yu expected, it was empty inside, and there were no specific functional facilities.

Although it was very beautiful, seeing only golden light in all directions was also monotonous enough.

He just roughly investigated and found that this Sea of Life had boundaries.

He picked a direction and rapidly charged out.

Patches of golden halos rapidly swept past his side, lacking temperature or tactile sensation.

But as Li Yu continuously moved forward, some other structures seemed to appear in this Sea of Life.

The pure and thin mist of light slowly showed signs of clumping and condensing. Some blurry golden objects appeared in the surrounding space.

They floated aimlessly in all directions, looking like unconscious jellyfish.

Li Yu rapidly swept past some golden objects, and unexpectedly, these golden objects actually chased after him, seemingly developing a weak Self-awareness.

With the power of the God-King Form present, Li Yu quickly broke free from this Sea of Life.

And what appeared before him turned into another scene. Surrounding an incomparably grand golden sun were nine resplendent stars.

Li Yu approached and glanced at a relatively closer planet.

He found it was tidally locked, without rotation. The entire planet presented a state of liquid magma. That purgatory flowing with magma continuously erupted massive amounts of matter, falling into the star.

Another planet was completely covered in solid ice, without an inch of land on its surface, like an ice ball. At the same time, it also emitted a massive amount of ice blocks, merging into the central golden sun.

And the remaining seven planets were similar, basically composed of pure forms of certain energies, seemingly transporting something towards the central sun.

And in the surrounding Void, there were many small and medium-sized artificial facilities, looking like space stations or massive satellites.

The appearance of these facilities was very uniform. They were basically all angular polyhedrons, the smallest having a diameter of thousands of kilometers.

Occasionally, composite buildings formed by the accumulation of multiple objects could be seen.

But the connecting beams between those buildings had obvious movable structures. Clearly, this combination was also temporary and could be disassembled at any time.

On the shells of these facilities, there was also the text of the Titan Civilization.

"Sacred Tree Cultivation - Laphepe..."

Li Yu translated the text on it, his expression suddenly changing slightly, and he abruptly turned to look at the central golden sun.

He rapidly advanced towards the golden sun. As the distance grew closer, the scene within became increasingly clear.

How was this any golden sun? It was just because the light emitted by the object inside was too dazzling, forming a film of light.

Passing through this film of light, what appeared before Li Yu was a tree!

An indescribable Golden Giant Tree. This giant tree seemed to have been exquisitely designed. Even the seemingly mottled and uneven bark on its surface contained a certain pattern.

Nine branches corresponding to the nine stars outside. They were swallowing energy and feeding it back to the main body.

Before this, this Titan Sanctuary had always existed in the Universe in the form of an Information State.

In this state, all objects within it were in a state of space-time stasis. Only after it was materialized would the time within it begin to flow.

This also meant that this giant tree had actually just started to swallow energy and nutrients.

"A figure?" Li Yu vaguely saw a figure under the giant tree, which made him feel slightly vigilant inwardly.

"Uncle Yu?" That figure slowly turned around and called out tentatively.

"Tu Ying?" Li Yu was slightly startled and breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, the Aura on his body began to rapidly decay--the duration of the God-King Form had reached its end.

"How did you get here." Li Yu asked.

"I don't know either. When I woke up, I was standing here." Tu Ying said somewhat blankly.

Li Yu was speechless, and then began to observe this giant tree in front of him: "Is this the Life Titan's Tree of Life?"

Energy flow light flowed on the surface of this Golden Giant Tree. Special energies swallowed from the nine branches merged together at a certain branch node and flowed into the main trunk.

It looked very normal, but Li Yu always felt that there was something not quite right about this thing.
