Arcane brilliance, shining forever

Chapter 104
After a long period of rest, the exploration team of 'Abyss of Nothingness' returned to a state of vigour. Although the waste crystal mine was dark, some timekeeping gadgets can still be used in this world, so everyone basically kept The usual work and rest habits.

"Very good, now that everyone has rested, let's go!" Strand said.

Everyone nodded without objection.

The passage from the fourth floor to the fifth floor was not long, and everyone arrived at the fifth floor after a while.

Everyone was shocked by the scenery in front of them. This is a larger cave than the cave they just rested. It can hardly see the end at a glance. It is hard to imagine that there is such a huge space in such a deep underground.

They entered from an entrance on the side of the cave. Looking along the edge of the cave, they could vaguely see several similar entrances. Obviously, there was more than one road leading to the fifth floor.

The ground of the entire karst cave presents an appearance of sloping downward towards the center. You can see that there is a huge pothole in the center. Countless black auras float out of it continuously and echo in the fifth floor. This black aura It's not a dark element, but a collection of negative emotions, the same as those that Lando saw in the mountains when he entered the waste crystal mine, but here they are more solid.

A group of people marched towards the hollow in the center, and as the distance got closer to the hollow, a terrifying pressure appeared in everyone's hearts, making everyone feel very uncomfortable.

When I came to the void and looked down, I could only see the endless darkness, mixed with the whimpering wind and the oppressive dark atmosphere, Leia grabbed Lando's sleeve and shrank back, Alice He glanced at it, then turned his gaze calmly.

"This should be the 'Abyss of Nothingness'!" Strand said excitedly.

Jens said calmly, "If your information is correct, it should be here."

Strand's excited expression eased a little, and he fell silent.

Seeing that everyone was silent, a question mark '? ', but also obediently did not speak.

Jens opened his mouth to break the silence: "Strang, we're already here, so there's no need to keep hiding, right? Let's tell you everything else!"

Stellan looked around and saw that everyone was waiting for him to speak. He smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, since we're all here, I'll explain everything."

"Originally, I wouldn't come to resources like the Crystal World, but not long before the opening of the Crystal World, a 'big man' found me and revealed a lot of relevant information to me, although I don't understand why he did this, Maybe it's an experiment? Or maybe it's just for fun? But that doesn't stop me from choosing to come to this world to see if I can get that reward!"

"Everyone should know that the crystal life has a bet with the empire, right? In fact, it's more like an agreement to ask for help than a bet."

"Although the crystal life is great, it is very lonely. It hopes that the empire can help it find or give birth to its own kind. As long as this can be done, the bet will be completed."

"Our associated crystals, the crystal creatures in this world are all efforts made by the empire for this agreement."

"The time lasted until the end of the last Crystal World, and a certain adult dropped a new generation of experimental products in this world. The information I got is that this experimental product is likely to complete the bet. As long as we return to the adult, it will naturally We can collect relevant data through our associated crystals to determine the completion of the experiment, and then the next opening of the crystal world may be the last time."

Jens asked in a deep voice: "Then what does this have to do with us? If there is no accident, the test object is in the 'Abyss of Nothingness', right? Since your lord has already arranged the outcome for it, why are we here?"

"Heh! ~ Don't worry, I came prepared. After being revealed by that 'big shot', I didn't do nothing. I searched for a lot of relevant information, and explored a lot of information after entering this world. and conducted a comprehensive analysis.”

"I have come to a guess that the reason why the crystal world has not been able to breed real crystal life after so many developments is that it lacks a crucial element—spirituality, and it is the unique spirituality of crystal life."

"Below the 'Abyss of Nothingness' is the core of the crystal world's leyline node. The adult has invested in it a creation that can absorb emotions to breed spirituality. It continuously absorbs the emotions of all the tribes that settle near the node crystal through the crystal network throughout the world. , to grow."

"Because negative emotions are always more persistent and more corrosive than positive emotions, over the years, this has become what it looks like here."

"Now we only need to enter the 'Abyss of Nothingness', break the container containing spirituality, and integrate the spirituality in it into our accompanying crystal, and we will be able to successfully breed a real crystal life. Not only will we be able to directly obtain that spirituality The friendship of a great crystal life, and a good helper with extraordinary potential!"

Lando nodded secretly, Strand's statement was completely in line with the information he had collected.

Hearing this statement, everyone showed excitement for a while, and some sober people asked: "Aren't we breaking the plans of the adults, is this really good?!"

Hearing the question, Lando keenly sensed that most of the people showed the same worry, but two or three people including Strand and Jens showed veiled disdain and looked at the questioner. People's eyes are contemptuous.

Strand said with a smile: "Don't worry, the adults won't blame us for this kind of thing. On the contrary, once it's done, there might be rewards."

Strand said this very firmly.

Jens also smiled and said: "Indeed, in the eyes of those big figures in the empire, we are all still children. It is understandable to be 'naughty', as long as resources are not wasted, it is nothing."

Calvo also nodded in agreement, which is a well-known fact in their ancient school.

A flash of lightning flashed across Lando's mind. At this moment, he thought of Odo's teaching to him, thought of what Leia said about the empire's talent policy, and thought of Strand and Jens who didn't care much about disrupting the experiments of the big figures in the empire. attitude, these once again broke his suspicion of the empire's tolerance for arcanists.

'It seems that many worries before were unnecessary, maybe I can be more high-profile! Lando glanced at the system and repositioned himself again.
