Chapter 95: The Fleeting Spirit Energy Clan

After Zhou Chu's strike landed, his figure finally revealed itself from the void; he walked forward and picked up the Compass on the ground.

One could see that this Compass was full of an archaic flavor, looking like an old object from a very distant era.

It was engraved with all sorts of fine patterns and mysterious symbols, as well as some unrecognizable characters.

The needle on the Compass had stopped spinning at this moment, but a thumb-sized Crystal on it was flickering with a yellow light incessantly, as if it had detected something.

Zhou Chu held the Compass and walked a few more steps toward the portal in front.

The light of that Crystal seemed to flicker even faster.

There must be something tricky behind this portal!

Zhou Chu became even more certain of his previous guess.

Hidden Easter eggs in a Commercial Dungeon are generally never exposed; only the builder knows of them.

Having discovered this hidden Easter egg by accident, Zhou Chu would naturally not let it pass.

But for the sake of safety, Zhou Chu did not walk into the portal immediately; instead, he casually summoned a few Grave Diggers and ordered them to go in first to scout the situation.

The Grave Diggers followed Zhou Chu's order and were the first to enter the portal.

Zhou Chu waited outside for a moment, but he never received any prompts.

Perhaps there was no danger on the other side of this portal.

Furthermore, now that he had a god-level servant body and two god-level servants to escort him, any worries were truly superfluous.

Zhou Chu then stepped into the portal.

A flash of azure light passed, and Zhou Chu was already in a square space.

The entire space was built from metal.

The walls, floor, and ceiling all radiated a cold metallic luster, giving one an extremely sturdy and heavy feeling.

In the center of the space sat a huge circular device, its surface covered in various complex circuits and flickering indicator lights.

The device was surrounded by a circle of transparent energy barriers, with electric currents darting across the barrier from time to time, emitting a "zizi" sound.

Zhou Chu saw that several Grave Diggers were wandering around here, looking quite leisurely.

Since there was no danger, Zhou Chu felt relieved.

He disengaged from the Soul Transfer, then looked at the metal Compass in his hand.

The frequency of the Crystal on it was flickering faster than before, and at the same time, it emitted a rapid beeping sound.

Zhou Chu walked up to the circular device, and the Compass in his hand suddenly refracted a ray of light.

He saw the circle of transparent energy barriers that had previously surrounded the equipment vanish in an instant.

Zhou Chu was slightly startled; he looked at the Compass in his hand with some surprise, then came close to the device.

There was a transparent glass cover on the device, and inside the cover lay a girl of about eighteen or nineteen, sleeping peacefully.

At this time, the girl's eyes were tightly closed, her face fair and delicate, like a porcelain doll, and a head of long, brownish-red hair was scattered around her like a waterfall.

However, the tight-fitting, gray-white slim-fit uniform on her body seemed to be completely attached to her body.

Even at the seams, one could see traces of screws and rivets.

This unique uniform looked a bit strange, as if it were made of metal.

Zhou Chu carefully examined the girl's entire body, his brows furrowed for a moment, and a slight expression of surprise finally appeared on his face.

No, the girl in front of him not only had clothes made of metal, but her entire body was made of metal.

Because Zhou Chu discovered a slightly ajar iron plate on the side of the girl's upper body, and he seemed to be able to see some complex circuits and mechanical structures inside.

The girl in front of him was actually a robot.

Or what is called a Mechanical Intelligent Being.

Only then did Zhou Chu recall the main theme element of this Copy—machinery.

However, to be able to make a robot so realistic, almost indistinguishable from a real person.

He had only seen it in science fiction films before.

He did not expect this world to have such advanced technology as well.

Just as Zhou Chu was sighing in admiration, the glass cover slowly opened.

At this time, Zhou Chu noticed that the flickering frequency of the Crystal on the Compass seemed to have slowed down a bit.

It was now more like a heart monitor, emitting a faint "beep-beep" sound.

Zhou Chu's gaze fell once again on the slightly ajar iron plate on the side of the robot girl, and he discovered that there seemed to be a slot inside.

And the size and thickness of this slot seemed to be about the same as the thickness of this disc.

Could it be that this Compass was originally supposed to be in this robot girl's body, but was later pulled out by someone?

Zhou Chu hesitated for a moment, but decided to take the risk and try.

Carefully holding the Compass, he tried to align it with the slot and put it in.

The moment the Compass was embedded into the slot, a soft light lit up from the connection between the Compass and the slot.

Following that, the light spread along the circuits and mechanical structures inside the girl's body, as if it were re-injecting vitality into her.

The robot girl's previously tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, the light in them brighter than before, and then she projected a beam of light.

The next moment, a middle-aged man wearing a uniform full of technological sense was projected in front of Zhou Chu.

Zhou Chu was startled by this sudden appearance and subconsciously took a step back.

The middle-aged man paused expressionlessly for a moment and then slowly said, "Don't be afraid, young man. My name is Qiaosefu, and I am the patriarch of the Spirit Energy Clan."

"Spirit Energy Clan?" Zhou Chu couldn't help but mutter in confusion, "Isn't this a race that occupied this world hundreds of years ago?"

It is said that the Spirit Energy Clan was a group of people among humans who had mastered advanced technology, and later, relying on this superb technology, they built many mechanical pieces of equipment to help people resist the invasion of the Calamity Forces.

If that were really the case, then this place in front of him must have been left behind by the Spirit Energy Clan!

This was the only thing Zhou Chu could recall in his heart regarding the Spirit Energy Clan, but because the era was too distant, the Spirit Energy Clan had long since been submerged in the rolling dust of history.

Furthermore, the deeds of the Spirit Energy Clan are rarely mentioned, and their existence was like a flash in the pan, as if they vanished into thin air overnight.

Therefore, no one knows how the Spirit Energy Clan disappeared in an instant overnight.

To this day, this remains a mystery.

Seeming to see the confusion on Zhou Chu's face, Qiaosefu continued, "Perhaps you do not yet understand the Spirit Energy Clan, so let me give you a brief introduction."

"The Spirit Energy Clan was once the first in this world to master extraordinary power. They were also the first to use the power they mastered to resist external invasions."

"The Spirit Energy Clan was indeed glorious during its peak. Relying on our control over Spirit Energy and advanced technology, we guarded this world, resisting the incursions of the Calamity Forces time and time again."

"Therefore, the Warriors within the Spirit Energy Clan were collectively known as Psionicists, and were also hailed as the guardians of the world!"

Qiaosefu paused for a moment and continued, "But it was precisely because we relied too heavily on technology and Spirit Energy, and were overly confident in our own strength, that the Calamity Forces found an opportunity."

"Until the Calamity Forces launched a covert Calamity Invasion against us, which was simply beyond our imagination, and subsequently became the eternal nightmare of the Spirit Energy Clan..."

"Calamity Power, by invading from within, could not only corrode mechanical equipment but also interfere with our use of Spirit Energy..."

"Although we fought with all our might, we still suffered heavy losses. Many clansmen perished due to the erosion of Calamity Power, and our technology also developed serious loopholes and phenomena of loss of control due to the destruction caused by Calamity Power."

"In the end, the Spirit Energy Clan met with a catastrophic disaster; it was an unprecedented riot of Mechanical Intelligent Beings!"
