Chapter 63: Chapter 61 Inside the Divine Strategy Tower

After dealing with the Purple Bamboo Young Master, the Rebel Army took a short break, and upon Gongsun Yue finishing her check on the Divine Speed Chariot, they headed straight for the Celestial Craft Institute.

They traveled all the way to the Celestial Craft Institute and went directly to the Divine Strategy Tower.

Because Lin Qianxuan had previously shown the Memory Ball to the Gongsun sisters, they understood that it contained the Divine Machine that could reverse the turbid air.

Thus, after inspecting the Flying Ship, Gongsun Yue took the initiative to unlock the Thousand Mechanism Lock.

[Gongsun Yue (placing both hands on the Thousand Mechanism Lock): The variables in the Thousand Mechanism Lock are numerous and constantly changing, with only one key at any given time, but I should be able to directly find it…..]

Tentacles extended from Gongsun Yue’s Eyes of Death, attempting to see the Death Mark of the Thousand Mechanism Lock.

The Death Mark seen by the Eyes of Death seemed not just limited to destruction.

Used well, it could have many possibilities.

At this moment, Gongsun Yue was unlocking in this way.

If she could see the Death Mark of the key, she could precisely identify what the key was.

“Click~!”

A crisp sound, and the Thousand Mechanism Lock naturally opened.

Rumble~!

The door of the Divine Strategy Tower gradually opened, revealing the War God Armor Body inside.

[Gongsun Yue (shocked): War God Armor Body? How could it be here…..]

Just like last time, Gongsun Yue appeared very surprised.

But none of that mattered.

What mattered was the upcoming battle.

Lin Qianxuan thought for a moment and did not let the game character directly use the Spiritual Energy Cannon.

Instead, he had him engage in battle with Gongsun Ying.

The Spiritual Energy Cannon’s firepower was sufficient, but it would deprive Gongsun Ying and Gongsun Yue of participation, missing a segment that could earn favor points.

In terms of strategy, this was very important.

As for relying solely on external items to bulldoze through the plot, that would be tried later.

[War God Armor Body: Celestial Craft Institute’s important ground, intruder, will be punished!]

The War God Armor Body stood up, holding a Ruler, engaging in combat with Gongsun Ying and the game character.

Or rather, it was driving the two away.

Then Gongsun Ying directly launched a big move, revealing a thirty-zhang Primordial Spirit Dharma Form, breaking the War God Armor Body’s defense, forcing it into the second stage.

[War God Armor Body: Stubborn and ignorant being!! To be slain!!]

An indigo energy shield appeared on the surface, the Ruler in the War God Armor Body’s hand turned into a Slaughter Blade, the sharpness and destructiveness was immense.

The game character and Gongsun Ying could only dodge.

An arrow flew in, hitting the War God Armor Body’s chest. Although it didn’t break the defense, it caused its movements to stall for a moment.

[Gongsun Yue (showing delight, enduring great pain and shouting): Young Master, sister, its Spiritual Wisdom Core is in the chest, attack there!]

Blood tears flowed from Gongsun Yue’s eyes, evidently from high-intensity use of the Eyes of Death.

Lin Qianxuan understood that the time had come.

[Lin Qianxuan: Ying girl, you step back a little.]

Gongsun Ying retreated to the side without much hesitation.

At the same time, Lin Qianxuan’s command was well executed by the game character.

In an instant, the Spiritual Energy Cannon shrouded in mist fired.

“Boom~!”

The Slaughter Blade in the War God Armor Body’s hand swung out, and the indigo energy shield on its body was pushed to the extreme.

The Slaughter Blade’s speed was incredibly fast, precisely slashing at the cannonball.

“Boom~!”

A ground-shaking explosion, blue light bloomed, accompanied by flying sand and stones, the ground in front of the Divine Strategy Tower was significantly reduced, and even the Divine Strategy Tower was affected, the shockwave forcing the Rebel Army to manifest their Primordial Spirit to resist, continuously retreating.

The game character had a water flow barrier in front, not retreating a single step, while Gongsun Ying, bursting with Divine Energy, also held her ground against the shockwave without moving back.

When the smoke and dust cleared, only the War God Armor Body, blown into countless pieces, lay on the ground, with its chest’s structure being the only relatively intact part.

From it, a faint noise was emanating.

[War God Armor Body: Stubborn and ignorant being…..]

The protection of the War God Armor Body’s weakness was done quite well, yet it still hadn’t been destroyed.

Unfortunately, the Spiritual Energy Cannon blew apart the rest of its body, so even if its Spiritual Wisdom Core was intact, it was meaningless.

[Gongsun Yue (somewhat weakly): The Divine Machine of the Young Master is truly of boundless power.]

[Lin Qianxuan (shaking his head): The shells of this Spiritual Energy Cannon are useful for attacking such large targets, but if the speed is too fast, it can’t hit.]

Lin Qianxuan spoke honestly, the Spiritual Energy Cannon had great power, clearing a radius of one hundred meters.

But if he faced the Spiritual Energy Cannon, he definitely wouldn’t get hit.

With his almost triple-supersonic speed and strong danger perception, he could instantly judge the threat, escaping the attack range the moment the barrel aimed.

Not only him, but even in simulated future battles against enemies, aiming was difficult.

It’s important to note that the enemy’s size wasn’t small, and it was confined to a certain area.

At this moment, Gongsun Ying had also gathered her Divine Energy.

[Gongsun Ying (looking at you and Gongsun Yue): Let’s go inside.]

[Gongsun Yue (nodding): Yeah.]

[Lin Qianxuan (nodding): Alright.]

Following this, the Rebel Army, led by the three, proceeded together into the Divine Strategy Tower.

Entering the Divine Strategy Tower, the vast space took Lin Qianxuan by surprise.

The first floor here felt as large as a soccer field, an unimaginably expansive space.

From outside, the tower seemed large, but it didn’t feel as exaggerated as it was inside.

[Lin Qianxuan (looking at Gongsun Yue): The space inside is much larger than it looks from the outside!]

[Gongsun Yue (slightly unnatural): Young master, the Divine Strategy Tower uses the Divine Machine Art of space expansion, so it appears much larger inside. But the most impressive was the Qiankun Cauldron from the Great Qian, it’s said there was a complete world inside, though it has been reportedly destroyed now.]

Lin Qianxuan noticed Gongsun Yue’s expression in the images showed slight pain; her once wide-open eyes were now barely open, with some blood staining the tentacles, making her look very uncomfortable.

[Lin Qianxuan (concerned): Miss Yue, if you’re feeling unwell, why not take a break?]

[Gongsun Yue (shaking her head, turns to find the divine machine, staggering): Just some pain, I’ve already treated it with the rebirth spiritual liquid, it’s not a big deal.]

[Lin Qianxuan (stepping forward to support): Don’t push yourself. Take a break.]

[Gongsun Yue (gritting her teeth, shaking her head): I can’t, only I might know the message my mentor left, others might not be able to find it.]

[Lin Qianxuan (looking at Gongsun Yue): Let me do it. I’ll describe those things for you, and you can confirm the situation. I’ve also learned some basic Divine Machine Art from you, and it should be easy to find.]

[Gongsun Yue (hesitating for a moment, then nodding): I’ll trouble you, young master.]

After speaking, Gongsun Yue simply closed her eyes.

Clearly, even opening her eyes now was an incredibly painful task for her.

The connection between the optic nerves and the brain makes any damage excruciatingly hard to describe.

Lin Qianxuan, having experienced pain from overusing his eyes in the past, felt like he was better off dead then.

Gongsun Yue’s overuse of the Eyes of Death had caused her eyes to weep blood; Lin Qianxuan could imagine her current agony.

[Your subtle care and help moved Gongsun Yue slightly.]

[Current connection status with Gongsun Yue is 36%.]

Attention to detail is always a necessary factor for successful strategies.

Lin Qianxuan’s lips curled slightly as he input instructions, allowing the game character to help Gongsun Ying describe the surrounding situation.

Meanwhile, he began to observe those divine machines within the image as well.

The items inside were a motley assortment, many of them outdated divine machines, but stored here because of their historical significance and value.

The first floor was quickly searched, and everyone headed towards the second floor.

The Divine Strategy Tower had a total of one hundred and three floors.

Searching such an expansive space completely would be an unknown time-consuming endeavor.

There were also a dense array of spiritual mechanisms inside; who knew which one could reverse the miasma?

This search might waste a significant amount of time.

At least three to five days would be needed to sort it all out.

On the third floor, Lin Qianxuan saw a wall covered with hexagonal insignias, each about thumb-sized, with the text in Great Qian script, seemingly quite archaic.

This kind of divine machine he hadn’t encountered before.

So he inquired with Gongsun Yue.

[Lin Qianxuan: Miss Yue, what are these insignias?]

[Gongsun Yue (shaking her head): They aren’t insignias, they’re heraldry, a type of small divine machine typically embedded on other divine machines for supplementary use. The text on them indicates their specific functions.]

Lin Qianxuan examined the text on the heraldry.

[Poison], [Hallucination], [Attraction], [Decomposition], [Flame]….

He automatically made mental comparisons.

This must be where the game’s special effects derive from.

Speaking of which, how many pieces of heraldry can a divine machine embed?

What happens if there are conflicts between heraldry?

Like one for flame and another for frost.

These questions he posed to Gongsun Yue, who replied that embedding could be done freely. Conflicts might occur but generally wouldn’t.

Furthermore, embedding too many heraldry is inadvisable since activating them consumes a vast amount of divine energy; every additional one increases the user’s pressure. Moreover, the effects’ range is extremely limited and intensity low, usually serving only as auxiliary divine machines, not primary devices.

By the tenth floor, everyone spotted numerous three-plus-meter-tall humanoid metal armors, numbering over a thousand.

[Gongsun Yue (astonished): They’re the Divine Martial Guard’s Divine Martial Armor Bodies, I didn’t expect the Celestial Craft Institute to preserve so many here.]

Lin Qianxuan’s previous conversations with Gongsun Yue had already given him some understanding of this aspect.

Armor bodies, as the name implies, are armored bodies worn by people.

Or, to put it another way, exoskeleton armor.

The earlier War God Armor Body was the pinnacle creation of such divine machines.

The armor bodies before them were single-user miniature exoskeleton armor.

The Rebel Army, seeing these, was immediately delighted. Upon Gongsun Yue’s inspection revealing no issues, they prepared to unlock them on the spot, equipping each person with a set.

With these, the Rebel Army members’ strength could be enhanced to a certain extent.

Continuing their search, the game character encountered a naked human body with no facial features or gender characteristics. Yet, calling it a mannequin felt inaccurate due to the overly realistic skin.

Nearby, there was a Memory Ball.

Lin Qianxuan had the game character pick it up, infuse divine energy, and words and images directly appeared.

“Isn’t this encrypted?”

[Gongsun Yue (slightly excited): It’s the Blood and Flesh Armor Art, and it’s already been successfully researched!]

[Lin Qianxuan (confused): Miss Yue, what is the Blood and Flesh Armor Art?]

[Gongsun Yue (struggling to open her eyes, looking at the Memory Ball): Simply put, it’s a technique to replace everything in one’s body except the head with a divine body. Once replaced, it connects with the nerves, practically indistinguishable from the original body, allowing divine energy circulation and normal perception, while being even stronger in every way….]

[Lin Qianxuan: Is Ying’s divine machine based on this technology?]

[Gongsun Yue (shakes her head): No, my sister’s divine strategy limbs lack perception, those are merely her weapons. However, mastering this technology might allow her to be fitted with a brand new, more powerful and practical set of divine strategy limbs.]
