Chapter 513: System Crash?

Taikoo?

As expected, this old geezer has major issues!

He had previously torn a fragment from his body, which was still sealed away in the laboratory.

After Ye Cang's research, that fragment was discovered to be... just a fragment, completely useless, though it did have some collection value.

Because it was a fragment from Taikoo's body, nothing more.

Karl's projection continued, "He spread Shenhe technology throughout the entire Universe, making the whole Universe revere Classical Physics."

"He ensured no new knowledge would ever emerge in the entire Universe, all to prevent people from knowing what the true Ultimate Fear is."

"The true Ultimate Fear is the rule of the Universe: extinction."

"Heat Death, Big Rip, Big Crunch—these can all be called the Ultimate Fear."

"However..."

When he reached this point, Karl's projection revealed a self-deprecating smile.

"However, I knew nothing of this; I only learned that after the Ultimate Fear arrives, everything will vanish, and even gods cannot escape this fate."

"This unknown thing made me afraid; fear blinded my eyes, and it was then that I encountered the Void. Under the guidance of the Void, I entrusted myself to the Void and began researching Void technology, preparing to welcome the Void's arrival in this Universe."

"At the same time, my consciousness was slowly changing due to the subtle influence of the Void."

"Now that the Void Arrival is here, I know I was wrong, I was terribly wrong, and the entire Universe will be destroyed because of me."

"Ye Cang, you and I are both scholars!"

"I implore you! Save this Universe and expel the Void! Because you are the only one who understands my academic work, I am willing to trust you!"

"I am already dead now and cannot provide any help; this Grand Clock is my final gift."

"It's just that I don't understand... Principal Taikoo, my teacher... why did he not want new knowledge to appear... I don't understand..."

"Ye Cang, help me find the answer... My Grand Clock contains countless data, all of which I gift to..."

As Karl's projection said this, the projection began to flicker wildly, to the point that Ye Cang could not even hear the words that followed.

"What's wrong with this thing? Is it crashing?"

Ye Cang turned his head to look at Ge Xiaolun beside him.

Ge Xiaolun wore a look of bewilderment.

"Huh? Crashing? That's not very likely, this is the Grand Clock after all, the greatest celestial computer in the entire Universe. If it crashes, then my Galaxy Core..."

As he spoke, Ge Xiaolun wanted to activate his Galaxy Core.

But no matter how he called out to his Galaxy Core, there was no response.

"What the hell?!"

Ge Xiaolun's eyes widened.

Had his jinxing mouth finally reached perfection? Good things don't come true, but bad things do?

He had just said the Galaxy Core was going to crash, and it really died?

"Ye Cang, wait a moment, my Galaxy Core seems to have a problem!"

After Ge Xiaolun said this to Ye Cang, he began to deal with his Galaxy Core.

At the same time, Karl's projection also completely vanished before Ye Cang's eyes.

Before it vanished, Karl's projection was still speaking, though what was said remained unknown.

"Zhizi, interface with the Grand Clock, retrieve the Grand Clock's status." Ye Cang frowned as he issued the command.

As soon as the command was issued, Zhizi immediately sent a response.

"Cannot retrieve the Grand Clock, please issue the command again!"

Hmm?

Cannot retrieve the Grand Clock?!

How is this possible?

This thing isn't just...

Just as he thought of this, Ye Cang suddenly thought of an unlikely possibility.

Was the Grand Clock destroyed?

That thing was placed in the Dark Plane.

It was at this moment that Ge Xiaolun raised his head, a look of despair appearing on his face.

"Ye Cang, you might not believe this, but my Galaxy Core is broken..."

Before Ye Cang could answer.

Kaisha hurried in from outside.

"Ye Cang, it's bad!"

"The Angel's Sacred Knowledge Treasury has been destroyed!"

"Just now, my connection to the Sacred Knowledge Treasury was suddenly severed, and then there was not a single bit of activity. There is only one possibility for this to happen."

"My Sacred Knowledge Treasury has been destroyed!"

After speaking, Kaisha saw Ge Xiaolun standing to the side.

"Oh? The traitorous Galaxy Power? You're here too!"

Ge Xiaolun was stunned, then immediately retorted.

"Hey?!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't betray anyone, I was an undercover agent!"

"Old woman sitting on the sofa, let me tell you, the Void has officially arrived, and Karl has already become a puppet of the Void!"

"I..."

Ge Xiaolun had not finished speaking before he was unceremoniously interrupted by Kaisha.

"The Void has already arrived?!"

"Ah! I saw it with my own eyes!" Ge Xiaolun replied in a daze.

Kaisha did not speak and left in a great hurry again.

She left behind only a bewildered Ge Xiaolun and a slightly puzzled Ye Cang.

However, the puzzlement was only brief.

Ye Cang quickly returned to normal.

For now, his Zhizi could still be used; whether or not he obtained the Grand Clock and the technology within it really did not have much impact on him.

The most important thing now was the Void Arrival; he needed to control the Void's next move so that he could continue to resist the Void.

But currently, he could not obtain any effective information at all.

Since that was the case, he could only heighten his vigilance and strengthen construction; when the time came, he would meet soldiers with soldiers and water with earth.

This was the best plan.

Ye Cang looked at Ge Xiaolun.

"Ge Xiaolun, I will revoke your wanted status in a moment."

"However, you need to make a choice about your future. I will give you two choices now: one is to go home and farm, and the second is to stay. Choose one of the two."

Without the slightest hesitation, Ge Xiaolun made his choice.

"I choose to stay! My dad is here! I can't leave my dad alone and go back!"

"Besides, I have reasons why I must stay."

To this, Ye Cang nodded.

"Very well, go to the Qinglong Legion and report to Liu Chuang!"

Ye Cang's words made Ge Xiaolun's eyes light up.

Go find Chuangzi?

That would be truly great!

He and he had not seen each other for 100 years; to say he didn't miss him would be a lie.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ge Xiaolun turned and left.

But as soon as he stepped out the door, Ge Xiaolun turned back.

"How do I get to the Qinglong Legion? I don't know the way, that... give me..."

Ye Cang directly called someone over via communication to lead the way for Ge Xiaolun.

After Ge Xiaolun left, Ye Cang also departed.

He had to go find the old man; the two of them would have to make a decision together.

At the same time, over in the Styx Galaxy.

The Prophet looked at Karl, who was already completely transformed into a puppet by Void Energy, and nodded with great satisfaction.

"Not bad, with such a native creature here, many things have become quite convenient."

"Otherwise, I really wouldn't have known that there was some Dark Plane space in this Universe?"
