Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 690 Night Boat Repair Cycle
"Apart from this fortress located under the influence of the power of the Four Sovereigns, are there specific coordinates of the other fortresses?" Xia Xiu asked with curiosity.

The commander's face darkened slightly, and with a tone of helplessness and regret, he responded in a low voice:
"Fortresses 1, 2, and 3 are all located in the area where Cadia is located. That place is too far away from Terra. With our current etheric engines and ship technology, it is simply impossible to support a round trip. We don't have a complete star map or a stable route. Rashly entering that area... The risk is too great. No one dares to take the risk easily."

At this point, the commander's tone was heavy and helpless. He paused, as if weighing the weight of each sentence, and then continued:

"Fortress No. 4 is located at the border of the Milky Way, even farther away than Cadia. It is also a place we cannot reach at this stage."

"And the location of Fortress No. 5 is even more bizarre. It is in the far west, and it is also an area that we cannot reach right now."

The commander-in-chief had obvious regrets, but when he mentioned Fortress No. 6, his expression changed and his tone softened slightly:
"Only Fortress 6... it's the only one we can reach. We've observed it, and it seems to be stranded in the ether.

It’s just that… the location where it ran aground is a little bit tricky.”

The commander's words came to an abrupt halt at this point. He looked up at Xia Xiu meaningfully, as if waiting for him to understand the key himself.

Xia Xiu sensed the vague hint, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. Then he seemed to have caught something, and his tone was filled with tentative speculation:
"That place, could it be the main battlefield of the Ivy War... caused by the dimensional turbulence caused by the 'Golden Tree'?"

The commander nodded slightly, his expression becoming serious:

"That's right. Fortress No. 6 is located very close to the core area of ​​the dimensional turbulence. The aftermath of the Ivy War affected many star fields, and that place is one of the most unstable places for ether flow. We can observe it, but getting close... is not that easy."

Xia Xiu's brows were slightly furrowed, and his thoughts were instantly drawn into a complex fog.

He whispered: "Ivy War..."

Those words floated in the air, carrying some unspeakable weight.

There was a gleam of deep thought in his eyes.

"What a coincidence, everything is too coincidental..." Xia Xiu whispered to himself.

Each piece of the puzzle seemed to begin to fit together into a huge conspiracy. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the reality around me was being pulled by countless invisible threads, ultimately pointing to the same center.

The famous 72 hours of crisis came to his mind, when the Four Lords generously "helped" the [World Tree] and [Financial Street] to carry out the so-called "fund-raising".

The Four Monarchs are the driving force behind everything, carefully planning and promoting this fundraising plan that transcends time, space and dimensions.

Through their guidance, the existing gods on the plane side were led in one after another to "invest" in this seemingly huge and attractive plan.

The result of all this is the rise of the unified object, the [Golden Tree].

It grows wildly on the surface of New York, like a giant anchor rising from countless planes, gathering those scattered planes under its protection one by one.

Countless planes were forcibly pulled together and reorganized, and the entire plane near Terra, the hub, and the rules of the inner world were rewritten at that moment.

Xia Xiu's thoughts flashed rapidly, and in his mind, the image of the [Golden Tree] was entangled with the chaos of the Ivy War.

Through this fundraising action, the Four Monarchs are actually secretly manipulating the overall situation, controlling the flow and fusion between planes, and turning the entire universe into their chessboard.

And when all this is completed, many powerful forces in the universe are forced to be involved in this endless battle.

Then, Xia Xiu’s memory jumped to the moment when Green Sun fell.

"One of the coordinates... turned out to be the main channel for the Four Sovereigns to leak their power."

Xia Xiu said in a low voice, with an inexplicable chill in his heart.

He realized that this was not just intelligence from the night ship, but part of the chess game that the four monarchs were playing behind their backs.

Through these coordinates, they not only revealed the existence of the Blackstone Fortress, but also directed the attention of Heaven to the core channel of Chaos, the source of the hidden power of the Four Lords.

"They have gone to such great lengths to plan this, just for..."

Xia Xiu thought of the [Seal] given to him by the Black Horse Knight. It was one of the so-called Seven Seals and one of the key factors for the outbreak of the future Apocalypse War.

Xia Xiu's thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, and all the complicated thinking and deduction were completed in an instant.

Almost without making a sound, he quickly returned to reality from his deep thoughts, his expression remaining calm.

He gently raised his right hand, pointed his index finger upwards, and asked in a calm tone, with a hint of calmness:
"What do the assembled councillors think about the fortress?"

"Put him under observation." There was a hint of worry in his tone, and it was obvious that he was not completely satisfied with this.

Then, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and he continued with deep meaning and hope:

"Among all the fortresses, Fortress No. 6 is the most important. It is the closest to Terra."

"No matter what, even if this thing is not in the hands of humans, it must never fall into the hands of other races or hostile forces. Its power is too strong, and any enemy that may get close to it must be destroyed."

Xia Xiu nodded slightly after hearing this.

The situation at Fortress No. 6 is obviously more complicated, and the Ivy War has undoubtedly made things more difficult.

The topic came to an end for the time being, and Xia Xiu quickly turned to another key point that he was also concerned about. His brows relaxed slightly and his eyes looked at the general commander:

"So, how's the reconstruction of the Night Ship going?"

The commander stood in front of Xia Xiu, with a tone of obvious professionalism and a hint of helplessness, and began to report in detail on the reconstruction of the night ship:

"Abraham, first of all, we have to face the reality - the Night Ship is in a very bad condition now. Its hull is 8 kilometers long, but in the previous battle, both the hull and the frame have suffered a lot of damage."

"We estimate that it will take three months to complete her structural reconstruction and repair of the propulsion system. The core task of this phase is to recast and repair her skeleton, especially the outer layer of lightweight alloy and ultra-heavy metal structure, to ensure the integrity of the entire ship."

He paused for a moment, then tapped his finger in the air. "The problem with the propulsion system is particularly severe. The spectral thrusters have completely failed, and we must overhaul and replace them. The propulsion system is the lifeline of the Night Ship. Only by ensuring that she has the minimum maneuverability can she get out of a static state and start moving autonomously."

He raised his hand and pulled up a piece of data on the virtual screen, and continued:

“After this phase, the Night Ship will have basic mobility capabilities sufficient to support subsequent repair and testing work.”

"The second stage is the most critical - the reconstruction of the energy core and the update of the cooling system." The commander's eyes revealed a trace of severity, "The original multi-dimensional energy core of the Night Ship has been completely destroyed in the battle and is currently unable to provide any energy. This is the core work of the entire reconstruction plan. We plan to rebuild her fusion reaction core and introduce quantum stabilization technology to improve energy efficiency and stability."

"The reconstruction of the cooling system and the energy core will be carried out simultaneously. The existing quantum fluid cooling system is almost completely damaged. We must update it comprehensively to ensure that it can still maintain stable operation under high energy output."

"This phase of work will take four months, by which time the Night Ship will have restored sufficient energy supply to support her full ship operations and combat capabilities."

"The third phase is the repair of the weapon systems and defense barriers."

He pointed at the wreckage of the Night Ship's weapon systems that gradually emerged on the screen, "The Night Ship once had a Hades beam cannon and a variety of weapon systems, but now these systems are almost all paralyzed. Our plan is to reinstall the ultra-high energy particle cannon on it and repair the existing Styx missile launcher and Hades beam cannon."

"If possible, we will also conduct reverse engineering based on the weapon parameters and data on the abandoned antimatter missile silo inside and try to complete the system."

The commander raised his hand and waved it gently in the air.

"The Hades Barrier also requires a complete repair. This is its most important defense, and we will strengthen the barrier's multiple layers to withstand the more deadly attacks of the modern battlefield. This phase will take approximately three months, by which time the Nightship will regain her former firepower and defensive capabilities."

Xia Xiu was silent for a moment, nodded, and then asked: "Where are the ecological zones and command systems?"

He had noticed during the battle with Green Sun that there were a large number of abandoned ecological areas on the ship.

From this point, he was actually almost certain that Corinius P. Bodfe II created the Adytum Awakening, allowed the incarnates to establish human body trade lines and other black industries to make huge profits, and colluded with the consortium - all for the purpose of repairing this huge night ship.

But it is obvious that this "solar boat" is obviously not something that a mid-range model can handle.

As the old saying goes: "Rich lineages rely on etheric technology, poor lineages rely on flesh and blood mutations."

Although their ancestors were once wealthy, they have completely declined by the time of modern Terra.

Don’t you see what kind of idiots are in charge of the Lust now?

You are talking about the New Sarkic, how many cult leaders have been replaced one after another, have they changed their bad habits? Have they adapted to the new era?

All they do all day is fight for the legitimacy of Ion and eat up the wealth of the Sarkic Empire.

What is the new guideline for the new flesh and blood of the new Sarkic? Is it useful?
Change the soup but not the medicine!

Not only do they lack the ethical and moral constraints of common traditional Sarkicism - they may even be its opposite.

Directly deviating from the original doctrine, they established cooperation with the alien beings that Ion once challenged.

It's worse than a cult!
The old and new Sarkic factions are fighting over Ion's orthodoxy and engaging in revisionism.

Can they revitalize the Sarkic lineage? No!

I don’t have the ability to know!

If the amendment is made further, the surname will be changed directly to Daeva, and blood sacrifices will be carried out directly, and the Red King will be worshipped; then, Daeva will be named Qunxing, and Qunxing will be named, and then the surname will be changed to Four Monarchs.

After being a slave to three families, there was no one left to live with, and everything was ruined.

The new Sarkic Worm Mystic Order led by Saint Cassius Clea was quite good. The [Way of Stripping] was also promoted and developed in his hands, and the people were directly canonized.

But, they revised the White Worm Secret Order?
Don't even care about your face!!!
If the revisions continue, the Sarkic lineage will be doomed to failure.

While Xia Xiu was secretly criticizing the Sentinels, the Commander continued:
"Our fourth phase is to repair the ecological zone and rebuild the command system. The ecological zone of the night ship was severely damaged in the battle, and the living conditions inside have deteriorated. We plan to use the Heavenly Kingdom bioengineering technology of the Science Department and the Ether Science Department to rebuild the ecological zone and improve its self-sufficiency so that it can sail for a long time."

His tone gradually became more solemn:

"As for the command tower church, it is the center of the Night Ship. We will reinstall an advanced command system and equip it with a more powerful quantum computer to perform battlefield analysis and fleet command. At the same time, we will activate the psychotronic framework to enhance the resonance between the command system and the fleet. This phase is expected to take two months, and once completed, the Night Ship will fully restore its command and combat capabilities."

He finally stood up straight, his tone full of determination: "The entire reconstruction plan is expected to be completed within 12 months."

After listening to the general commander's report, Xia Xiu frowned slightly and pondered for a moment.

He gently stroked his chin with his fingers, his eyes slightly moving upwards, as if he was picturing some new idea in his mind.

After a moment, he looked up at the commander-in-chief, his tone calm but with a hint of firm confidence:

"I have new ideas and design drawings for the reconstruction of the Night Ship's centerpiece, the ship's church."

"When you repair the church, contact me. I have a construction plan that can make the Night Ship truly a miracle-like creation."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gleam of determination flashed in Xia Xiu's golden eyes.

That confident tone made people involuntarily believe that the church he designed was not just an ordinary restoration, but a brand new upgrade, a breakthrough beyond existing technology.

When the commander-in-chief heard the blond young man's confident words, a gleam appeared in his eyes.

Then, he nodded slightly, with a hint of anticipation and curiosity:

"Okay, Abraham, when the Night Boat Church is rebuilt, we will contact you immediately."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and the atmosphere was filled with an unspoken understanding and consensus.

01: 20 PM.
Unknown Land - Fourth Floor - Azlut.

This is the place in heaven that is closest to the essence of truth and is called the "near world."

In this world, everything is shrouded in an infinite light. That light has no specific form or structure. It is just a pure existence that runs through the entire space. It seems to be shining everywhere, yet it is nowhere to be found.

The light of heaven is not restricted in any form here. It is boundless, invisible and intangible. It is like light itself has become the source of life in this place.

Xia Xiu was wearing a regular black suit, and his straight suit looked particularly solemn in this pure space.

His black top hat was pulled down, covering half of his face, and the silver cane held tightly in his hand seemed like a symbol of authority.

[Rainbow Bridge: Transmission Completed——]

[Arrived at destination: Azlut! ]

A colorful rainbow light extended from the sky to his feet like a bridge. In an instant, Xia Xiu's figure was teleported to [Azlut] in the colorful light.

His feet landed firmly on the ground and he felt the soft yet solid ground beneath his feet, which was like white clouds. Everything here was filled with sacredness and mystery. The sky around him was spotlessly white and endless, with no clear shape discernible at the edge of the sky. The space seemed infinitely vast in the penetration of light, a feeling that was both real and unreal, like a dream, and beyond all definitions of the material world.

Just as Xia Xiu had just steadied his body, the air around him suddenly began to flow, and with a slight buzzing sound, a silver-white beam of light swept across his entire body.

This beam of light did not have any temperature or physical touch; it was just like a data scan, completely recording his existence.

【>Authorization Node: 1-A is opening——

Thaumaturgical data module synchronizing...

...Access rights verification in progress...

>Welcome back, the fourth sword-bearer in heaven - Hugh Abraham]

Everything in this pure world seemed to come alive in an instant, and Eden's authentication information circulated quickly, scanning Xia Xiu from head to toe.

The authority node instantly connected to the core database of Heaven, quickly and accurately reading his identity information.

Xia Xiu felt the flowing scanning light starting from his toes, slowly rising along his body, until it swept over his shoulders and head, and finally gently disappeared into the void.

Although the scanning process was silent, the feeling of being scrutinized and verified was still clear and palpable, as if... the entire heaven was watching him.

After the scan was completed, the colorful rainbow light gradually dissipated, and Xia Xiu stepped on the soft white clouds. The space in front of him suddenly revealed a majestic habitat.

This is the storage place of the paradise of Eden and the habitat of Yahweh.

The moment Xia Xiu stepped onto the fourth floor, a familiar and powerful figure appeared in front of him.

It was an old man, dressed in an ancient white robe, the patterns of which blended in with the light of heaven.

The old man walked barefoot above the white clouds. Every step he took was as steady as a mountain. Even this infinitely glorious world became quiet because of his footsteps.

He wore ten rings on his hands, and each finger was inlaid with a ring that symbolized authority. The light reflected from the silver cane in his hand and shone on his white-haired and childlike face.

When he approached, Xia Xiu immediately stopped respectfully, bowed his head slightly, took off his hat, placed it on his chest with his right hand, stroked it gently, and saluted respectfully and humbly.

This is not only out of respect for the third sword-bearer in the Kingdom of Heaven, but also because he is the well-deserved elder of all the sword-bearers in the entire Kingdom of Heaven.

The first sword holder and the second sword holder must also express deep respect in front of him.

He is the strongest in heaven and one of the spiritual pillars of the entire heaven.

"Greetings, His Majesty Mu."

Xia Xiu said in a low voice, addressing the old man as "Your Majesty", a general term for "miracles".

Mu Weiwei raised her hand, her expression gentle and kind, gently wiping away all the restraint and awe.

Mu just smiled and motioned Xia Xiu to stand up. His voice was low and powerful: "Let's go. Neither you nor I care too much about such etiquette."

Xia Xiu stood up obediently and followed the old man's steps silently. The two walked side by side, heading deeper into the light.

Mu said as if he was just chatting about family matters:

"You're making more noise each time."

Hearing this, Xia Xiu couldn't help but shrugged lightly, with a helpless smile on his face, and responded with a bit of helplessness:

"I don't want to either, but troubles come to me on their own, and I can't do anything about it."

He is just a corporate slave who convinces others with reason and works honestly, but trouble always likes to find such "honest people".

It's so cold and infuriating. This land is so unfriendly to honest people.

The local forces in Terra were also very rude and often hindered his work, forcing him to work overtime all night long!
