Chapter 98: Eternal Shadow Image

  Dark and dry spaceship control room edge location.

  Li Ling relaxed his whole body, sat cross-legged and breathed out, mobilizing the true Qi in his Dan Tian. He slowly circulated it through his muscles and blood vessels for ten cycles, and due to the Qi's ability to activate blood flow and clear blockages, his self-healing abilities were greatly enhanced, barely managing to repair the damaged tendons and meridians back to their original state.

  An hour later.

  Li Ling took a deep breath, slowly exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, and with a "whoosh" sound, spat out a mouthful of stagnant blood. Only then did he slowly separate his joined palms from his abdomen, placing them calmly on his knees. After a few slow, peaceful breaths, his eyes finally began to open. The moment they opened, his eyes shone brightly, and it was clear that his bodily functions had recovered well under the nourishment of true energy.

  "With the true energy reversing its flow, it ran for ten cycles, and the muscles and veins throughout his body were almost fully restored. Except for the shattered bones that still remained in a shattered state, everything else was basically fine." Li Lingmu didn't know that an hour had passed, thinking it was only a few minutes, so when he looked at Mandrake, he didn't feel any sense of time and space loss, and smiled slightly.

  Man Tuo Luo was stunned, being suddenly spoken to by Li Ling, she had been quietly accompanying Li Ling for a long time, sitting silently, her gaze never leaving Li Ling's face for a moment, intently watching as Li Ling concentrated on his meditation.

  But the focused gaze was suddenly met with Li Ling's turning eyes, and there was a kind of inexplicable awkwardness, her face slightly hot. The main reason is that Mandala itself is not very familiar with emotional factors, so it also doesn't know what the awkward emotions represent.

  "That's good." Mandala replied calmly.

  "Let's go, we need to hurry up. That Glutton is simply a crazy devouring machine... We need to go find those Purple Flames and negotiate with them. But the most important thing is to try our best to avoid the Glutton. Otherwise, trouble will be big." Li Ling's face was serious, his hands propped against the ground as he stood up, dusting off the dirt on his hands. Mandala also got up following him.

  Li Ling felt that Mandala's expression was not quite right, so he took a look at the more mysterious manipulators around him and found them to be exceptionally strange. The operating instruments here were different from those with handles, but rather a series of bizarre devices that resembled withered vines, with something like antennae floating in the air at the end of each vine. These antennae seemed to be wearable on the head, connecting to some kind of subconsciousness, but unfortunately, everything was just speculation.

  "These things are truly unbelievable." Li Ling took a glance at the withered vine-like slender tentacles, feeling inexplicable surprise and also a numbness in his heart.

  "There is image data here, which can be inferred that this place should be the control room. However, when we came in just now, due to anxiety, we overlooked it." The words of Mandala were inexplicable, but her eyes were exceptionally calm, falling on a huge thin membrane like a screen in the distance.

  Along the gaze of Mandala, Li Ling looked at this extremely thin membrane, which appeared to be a very advanced computer screen from its appearance, but unlike a computer screen, this membrane was completely transparent and could be seen through, with a dark wall behind it.

  "How did you know there were image materials here?" Li Ling's eyes sparkled with a hint of sharpness, grasping the central meaning of Mandala's words, and looked at those thin films in surprise, hoping to find some clues.

  "Perhaps due to the arm of God, I seem to be able to see the past here through some kind of consciousness, of course, it's a past from ten thousand years ago." Mandala's eyes calmly looked at those tentacles, as if she had completely changed into another person, becoming more rational.

  It was during the hour that Li Lingyun was meditating that Mandala had carefully observed every object here, and even boldly touched them with her hands, but all produced unexpected results.

  At that time, Mandala was just curious about the strange shape of these tentacles, with many doubts, but after touching them, the whole person was like being electrocuted, and suddenly became broad-minded, and could see some incredible and magical illusions.

  The visions given to Mandala hinted that about 10,000 years ago, the indigenous humans of Earth had transported a mysterious crystal coffin into the interior of this spaceship, but due to the complexity of the maze behind the control room, the humans at that time, limited by their intelligence, placed the crystal coffin in the control room, which later led to the military being dispatched to transport the crystal coffin back to the underground research institute.

  "What did you see?" Li Ling knew this information was crucial, so he hastily asked.

  "I saw the crystal coffin with the arm of God placed here by a group of humans from ten thousand years ago, right under the control device." Mandala pointed to a platform above the control room, on which three pairs of tentacles were floating.

  The operating platform is about ten meters long and five meters wide, which can hold the arm of God with a crystal coffin.

  "Impossible, humans from ten thousand years ago couldn't possibly create something like the crystal coffin?" Li Ling furrowed his brow and asked anxiously, because the origin of the Arm of God was related to many mysteries.

  "In fact, in the ancient humans of ten thousand years ago, at most it was the Stone Age. The people of that era would not even know how to smelt metal, let alone refine crystal." said Mandala.

  "That is to say, the crystal coffin may not be a product of the earth? Also from an unknown world." Li Ling had once touched the arm of God, and the arm of God could make a person completely fall into the fantasy, take a person's consciousness away from the body, and go to an incredible fantasy world.

  Mandala's gaze suddenly turned calm, looking down at her hands, and continued: "In other words, the crystal coffin is not a product of this alien spaceship, but was transported by humans from another place. But where? The clue is broken."

  "It's highly likely that if it's true, then the trail of clues about the crystal coffin and the Arm of God will really end here." Li Ling let out a faint sigh. Sometimes, many unrelated things can combine to produce mysterious events.

  However, even though the clue was cut off, I can still open the image data on this screen with the remaining genetic will of the arm of God. That's also the method that the purple fire on this spaceship taught humans to ask for help 10,000 years ago. Mandala quietly looked at the thin membrane.

  Li Ling's eyes had a hint of unease, and he looked at Mandala with an uneasy gaze. Mandala's expression was very strange, as if she had seen something abnormal that she couldn't accept. Her eyes hadn't blinked for ten minutes already.

  Li Ling anxiously patted Mandrake's shoulder, but a kind of numbing power seemed to emanate from Mandrake's body, causing Li Ling's hand to bounce off. This numbing power was somewhat like electricity, but it was even more overbearing than the force of electricity. Without a doubt, this electric current was entirely for protecting Mandrake from being disturbed at that moment.

  The mandala consciousness is attracted by those thin membranes, and it walks step by step towards the screen of these membrane states like a person who has lost his soul.

  Li Ling could only stand behind Mandala and look at her, because Li Ling didn't know what had happened in the moment when Mandala was distracted.

  So Li Ling didn't dare to force Mannuo awake abruptly, fearing it would harm Mannuo.

  Before the mandala slowly approached the thin film with absolute transparency, the mandala slowly raised its hands, stretched them out flat, and pressed them into the film, making a hissing sound.

  The membrane was pressed down by the mandrake but did not break through.

  The elasticity of that membrane is exceptionally good, just like some kind of rubber.

  As the lotus-shaped arm slowly extended, golden light spots like circuit boards appeared on these thin membranes.

  Those golden light spots formed individual electric snakes, crisscrossing back and forth in the thin membrane, just like a circuit board suddenly being electrified.

  Suddenly, a scene that would only appear on a real screen appeared on this thin membrane.

  In a flash, the light flickered on the membrane, and an image appeared on the membrane.

  Li Ling was shocked and furrowed his brow as he looked at the thin-film screen.

  A very precious image data appeared on the thin film screen.

  "Roulette!"

  This is the first sentence after turning on the TV.

  The screen displayed a purple flame, but this purple fire could speak human language, and it was even Chinese.

  Perhaps this is a kind of extremely high intelligence, which can perform some kind of translation based on the viewer's language style.

  "Alert, energy depletion, wheel lost power!"

  "Absorbing planetary geomagnetism, replenishing magnetic field energy, waiting for next departure, system enters dormant state."

  Li Ling gradually came to understand that this spaceship's energy was entirely based on the principle of magnetic fields, navigating through space. But what about the wheel?

  "Rotating disk, supplementing the planet's energy! The power core of the entire spaceship, its strength is enough to destroy a small planet with a diameter of three thousand kilometers!"

  Suddenly, the screen changed and a spherical object emitting black light, like an astrolabe, appeared on the screen. This wheel was somewhat similar to an astrological chart, but it was spherical in shape.

  Roulette!

  Li Ling carefully observed the shape of the wheel and remembered the source of this mysterious power. In other words, the energy core of this flying ship has absorbed the magnetic field strength of 100,000 years at this moment, no wonder the external magnetic field is extremely unstable, it turns out that it was caused by this wheel.

  But where is this wheel thing? In the most central position of the spaceship?

  Li Ling tried to ask this question to see if this smart screen has a response function.

  "Where is the roulette?" Li Ling knew this was a one-time opportunity, and the location of the roulette was crucial.

  "Wheel, located at the very core of the spaceship, in the lower hold."

  "Is the power of the wheel enough to destroy anything?" Li Ling asked again.

  "The power of the wheel is too great, and the wheel itself has a strong magnetic storage capacity. Any object that approaches the wheel will be swallowed up by the powerful magnetic field at its center, similar to the principle of a black hole. The maximum force can destroy and crush a small planet with a diameter of 3,000 kilometers."

  Black hole, Li Ling's forehead was sweating, Li Ling wasn't an idiot, he knew what a black hole was.
