Chapter 1914: Horus Eye

~6 min read 1,146 words

The center of the Solar System..

"This thing has been placed for a short time, and... it's quite new?"

Above the corona layer, Yalian gazed thoughtfully at the enormous triangular structure before him.

After the warship detector discovered this place, they spent about forty hours rushing here.

Although it was somewhat a waste of time, compared to Andre's side, the anomaly here is obviously more important.

However, after a quick glance, Yalian realized that this artifact from the old era had just been forged.

"The forging time is no more than a week, and the material is very primitive stellar material."

"As for the placement time..."

"Within 120 hours?"

His expression was strange.

His mental power swept over the slightly melting triangular edge, Yalian's brows furrowed, his eyes full of confusion.

If such an old-era artifact appeared on Earth, he might not even bother to glance at it. But for such a massive pyramid to appear at this distance and time....

From Earth to the Sun, even if he flew at full speed with his strength, at a hundred times the speed of sound, it would still take at least a thousand hours! This is no exaggeration, after all, even at light speed, the journey from the Sun to Earth takes eight full minutes!

"Spatial transmission rules? But how could anyone here possibly master ultra-long-distance spatial rules?"

"Or... due to some chaotic reason? An Awakened One was dumped here by the system, and then they casually forged this thing?"

The more Yalian thought about it, the stranger it seemed; to him, none of the possibilities seemed realistic.

Don't even mention long-distance transmission rules; he even felt that the insects in this star system couldn't grasp the most basic spatial rules. At best, they only have a Blink ability, limited to teleporting a few kilometers.

He was certain that the residual rule fluctuations above the corona layer were clearly only at the Fourth Stage Peak, and even that seemed a bit strained.

"Sir, perhaps this object was sent here from Earth by a Fourth Stage using a special prop? Or maybe it's not about rules at all."

Noticing the Captain suddenly become alert, a Fourth Stage member blurted out his guess.

The only civilization in the entire star system is on Earth, so without doubt, it must be those monkeys on Earth.

But before he could say more, in the next second Yalian irritably cut him off:

"Think before you speak! I really don't know how you became Fourth Stage! Think, don't be careless about anything! You must think first!"

"A spatial prop? Something that could transport from Earth to here? The Alliance doesn't even have such a thing! Even if they sent it bit by bit, have you calculated the energy consumption?!"

After saying that, Yalian couldn't help but extend his mental power to touch the pyramid; as he penetrated its interior structure, his eyes suddenly flashed with an unusual color.

"Huh? The direction of energy concentration is actually Earth?"

"Three points in a line? Is it planning to send the Sun's energy back to Earth?"

Instantly, many things came to mind; although this kind of long-obsolete old-era artifact isn't special in itself, thinking that a Death Star-level entity had appeared here, Yalian couldn't help but associate them.

"Even if the possibility..."

"Captain, is this thing important? I've only heard that the old era had such things, this..."

Noticing the Captain's face growing graver, a Fourth Stage member couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

He couldn't see anything special about this thing; even if placing it here is strange, anyway it's probably just related to the Fourth Stage? Back on Earth, just ask around and you'd know.

"Not important... but the fact that this thing appears here is important!"

"This pyramid-shaped object was called the Horus Eye in the old era, equivalent to a higher-grade artificial node."

Patiently explaining, Yalian thought while speaking:

"Um... you might not even know what an artificial node is. Just understand it as something that can absorb and release spiritual energy."

"The Horus Eye dates back to very early times, when the first batch of Awakened Ones used it to enhance themselves. Those who used these devices were called Sun Sovereigns, and of course, current records should refer to them as Old Sovereigns."

"Old Sovereigns?"

A squad member exclaimed, his face instantly changing.

If everything from the old era is completely foreign to them, they can only see it in the records.

Then the name Old Sovereign is a nightmare that runs through the history of the Creator Alliance!

"That's right, it's the monsters that destroyed the old era."

"The power it converts contains something like a meme, which causes absorbers to gradually go mad. Although it boosts strength quickly at first, bluntly speaking, this thing is a disaster, the source of a virus!"

"It was also after the outbreak of the Old Sovereign Disaster that the Alliance completely banned such things."

After a brief pause, Yalian let out a light sigh, his heart also feeling somewhat oppressed.

"Then Captain!? Should we immediately destroy this thing!? Those insects, they actually dare...!?"

"No."

"Not necessary."

"The reason I say this thing isn't important is because its maker's methods are too crude. It imitates not only the first-generation Horus Eye, but also carries very little power."

"According to this power output, being able to produce a Third Stage would already be not bad."

Yalian snorted; in his view, this seemingly enormous pyramid was actually no different from a toy.

During the peak of the old era's frenzied production and use of the Russ Eye, they even made a Horus Eye that wrapped the entire Sun. Through rule refinement, it could mass-produce Fourth Stage Peaks in a short time!

Of course, the price they ultimately paid was also unimaginably tragic...

"Forget about this, lest we scare the snake. Honestly, I'm more curious what that fool who placed this here actually has in hand..."

"A fish jumped out of its tank, then placed a grain of sand on the beach thousands of li away..."

"Looks like those humans on Earth might have dug up quite a few good things?"

Thinking of when Andre contacted them, it was actually by chance that he found a special prop, opening an old-era dungeon.

For a moment, Yalian couldn't help but become quite interested.

In his view, the anomaly here likely stems from an Earth Awakened One who inadvertently obtained a special old-era prop, then regarded the lowest-grade Horus Eye as some unimaginable thing, thus pulling off this stunt from afar.

As for whether this anomaly is related to the Death Star level—sorry, the two are vastly different, so different that after thinking it over he simply gave up.

If it really is that person who left some traces here.

Then they probably cannot see the sun.
