Colonia Storm Tour

Walker.com AI warned.

"Should we say they have a better tachyon detector than the BIA space probe... or maybe they're just lucky, waiting for this."

Lin Haiyuan could have used tactical warp to move forward and shorten the distance to the sealed land immediately if he had been too hasty.

However, he did not do that, because he wanted to wait for the warships of the Ring Messengers. He would warp away as soon as they appeared, otherwise he would crash into the enemy forces that had warped over as soon as he finished warping. If he wanted to escape, he would have to rely on sub-light speed thrusters and time stop to buy time.

"Walker.net AI, it's time to tactically warp forward to the limit."

He made a tactical maneuver to break away from the enemy.

From an optical observation perspective, the Colonia's flank air base and the Kodiak warships shrank into a ball of spaghetti and entered a warp space that could not be directly seen.

Only when the warship has fully entered the warp space can the pale flash prove the location of the warp space's entrance and exit.

A few seconds after entering the warp space, the space where the Colonia flanking fleet had been located was filled with numerous Destroyer warships, Decayer warships, and Skybreaker carriers, all of which emitted a brief white-pink glow.

After ending the psionic jump state and not seeing any enemies, the Agent could easily understand from the series of ripples on the warp probe.

"They're really fast! Once the psionic warp engine has cooled down and recharged, continue chasing in the direction of the subspace fluctuations!"

The acting leader gave the order.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The Void Crystal Core responded.

This race between the stars of the universe has already begun to show a clear winner, with the Colonia flanking fleet, whose warp engines cooled and recharged faster, clearly securing the initial victory.

Thank you to all the readers for your generous donations!

One rather peculiar aspect of the Mechanical Mind challenge is that Libra, while overthrowing the Centurion and then pursuing Yunru, used his mental powers to discover that Boss La and Yunru had a clandestine deal. So, the question arises: how did Libra, with his mental powers perfectly suited for attack, reliably achieve "mind reading"?

Chapter Thirty-One: Rapid Sprint (III)

After the tactical warp ended and the Colonian flanking fleet returned to normal space, it continued to activate its afterburners to boost propulsion and advance as close to the target as possible while preventing it from being overtaken.

Silent, high-speed travel may seem boring, but it can be quite exciting when facing an opponent who can track your movements and also travel faster than light, especially when the opponent has a fleet that seems overwhelming in number.

"Subspace fluctuations detected. We are correcting the fleet's course and turning to pursue the unknown force's warships."

The Void Crystal Core reported and controlled the entire fleet to turn and pursue.

"Ah."

The agent responded calmly and continued to watch the screen formed by the illusory spirit crystals and spiritual energy, observing the magnificent scene of the fleet advancing.

This rapid journey alternated between sub-light speed travel and faster-than-light speed travel, but as the sensory markers in Lin Haiyuan's eyes gradually expanded, it was finally time for it to come to an end.

After completing a long-distance jump, the sensory marker in Lin Haiyuan's eyes had magnified enough to obscure his vision, leaving only the edges visible.

"As expected, I still need to cover my view. What a pain... Walker AI, scan."

Lin Haiyuan gave the order.

Walker.com's AI immediately used the ship's onboard scanning array to conduct a detailed scan of the visible land ahead, using various sensors to confirm the location of Exile's seal.

The report was ready in less than a minute.

"Master, we have detected terrain features matching your description on the floating continent ahead. The hyperspace teleportation has been located and we can take you there at any time once you are fully prepared, aboard the Jackal mobile vehicle."

Walker.com's AI also projected the scene of the sealed land being scanned onto a holographic screen.

“It’s time to erase this psionic mark.”

Lin Haiyuan unleashed his unparalleled mental power, shattering the sensory markers in front of him into dust.

As the shimmering light that emitted circular ripples disappeared from his eyes like scattered photons, he finally felt much better.

"Finally, I don't have to stare at a bright light bulb in front of me anymore..."

Lin Haiyuan looked at the holographic projection in front of him as he spoke.

Seeing the irregular, dark green, irregularly shaped patterns and hexagonal bluish-gray stone bricks on the ground, he confirmed that Walker.com AI had found the right place.

"The location is right. Now prepare the Jackal mobile vehicle to take me to the equipment room, and then teleport me to the designated location WalkerNet AI."

Lin Haiyuan put down Hei Yu without delay.

“Master, you will need additional guards; it will be an unsafe place.”

Walker.com AI provided a reminder.

"No need for extra guards. Black Feather and Orange Fox can continue to stand by. I can go by myself."

He got up from the chair and walked quickly towards the door.

"Walker AI, adjust the fleet's orientation and prepare to face the incoming Ring Messenger warships at any time."

Lin Haiyuan gave the order as he walked.

"Yes, Master."

Walker.com AI obeys.

Board the Commander-type Jackal mobile vehicle and head to Equipment Room 0. Change into the "Altaïr" combat suit, teleport to the designated location via hyperspace, and get off the vehicle in one smooth motion.

Stepping onto solid ground once more, Lin Haiyuan had no time to savor the feeling of being grounded. Instead, he hurried toward Exile's not-so-spacious sealed land.

As Lin Haiyuan walked, he could feel the almost non-existent gravity here. His legs felt like they were floating, as if he could fly into the surrounding universe if he ran a little faster.

Fortunately, the randomness domain still plays a role in this universe, and the magnetic boots are also helping Lin Haiyuan to move forward steadily and quickly.

This dimly lit floating continent is not a true orbital dwelling or ring world revolving around a star; it is merely a collection of irregular crustal pieces floating in space, without any stars or planets orbiting it. It simply floats there.

Lin Haiyuan looked up at the cluster of white stars scattered across the dark and pink nebula above, sensing a faint antiquity in their light...

The actual distances to those stars are probably comparable to the age of the universe; they are not only unattainable, but it's even questionable whether they are actually stars.

Thinking of this, Lin Haiyuan turned back to look ahead. Now was not the time for him to rely solely on visual perception to determine distances or quasar flares; he had more important things to do here.

The footsteps, silent and still in the void, came to a halt before the gray stone bricks. Up close, irregular patterns emitting a dim green light resembled magic circles carved into a temple.

Lin Haiyuan half-squatted down and used his right hand to draw orderly lines on the irregular pattern, as if he were redrawing a corner of the pattern.

"…………"

Lin Haiyuan closed his eyes and used his spiritual power to observe the world around him from a special perspective.

Psychic power has long been considered to have practical applications, such as reading people's minds and memories, manipulating airflow to form a pressure balloon or lifting objects, or levit oneself. The most basic application is bending the handle of a spoon, and there are many other uses. The most groundbreaking application is to use oneself as a scanning array and emit one's psychic power as a scanning wave.

It can be amazing to "see" the surrounding or designated parts of the world from a microscopic perspective.

In Lin Haiyuan's mental perception, the world around him was still dark, but the sealed place he had designated to explore had become a completely different world.

The world as perceived by humans through light sources and the naked eye no longer exists; only the most basic framework lines and barriers and fluctuations composed of pale energy remain.

The frame lines and pale energy barriers are consistent with the fluctuations on the ground around the hexagonal bluish-gray stone bricks. Once inside the hexagonal bluish-gray stone brick area, the color and depth of the frame lines and energy become distinct.

The framework and energy of the entire sealed land are very different from the tiny framework and energy around it. The primary difference is that the lines are pink, while the energy barrier and continuous fluctuations are green.

The seemingly irregular pattern, devoid of any energy flow, actually contains a surge of internal energy. The green energy, reminiscent of the color "forgiveness," flows in from a certain direction and continuously enters the irregular pattern.

Lin Haiyuan frowned. He could sense the subtle peculiarities of the energy through the mental power he continuously released. This energy was much stronger than similar energies.

Are there multiple unknown energy cores supplying power to the sealed land here...?

He pondered as his right hand moved forward, caressing its smooth surface, while he himself crouched and advanced.

In this somewhat comical crouching motion, he moved to the central ring of the irregular pattern. Lin Haiyuan withdrew his mental power, which then flowed through the irregular pattern like the mysterious energy.

This is an action based on intuition, without much reason; mere observation is of little use.

The spiritual power flowing along each line merges into one in the irregular pattern of the cyclical connection. At the moment the spiritual power converges, the irregular pattern and the edge of the hexagonal stone tile floor emit a mirror-like green light upwards.

"My intuition was right," Lin Haiyuan thought to himself.

Stepping along the hexagonal corner of the ground, a black triangular stone pillar emerges from the pale pink ground and begins to slowly rotate, emitting a soft green light in all directions.

At the top of each triangular prism, a distinct green particle traced a zigzag line upwards and disappeared into the starry sky. The irregular patterns and bluish-gray hexagonal floor tiles beneath Lin Haiyuan's feet began to emit an even more dazzling green light.

The energy fluctuations, which were very noticeable to the detector, slowly radiated from the stone pillar.

Lin Hai was able to step back two steps from the center of the irregular pattern. The next second, a green striped stone pillar with obvious splicing emerged from the energy ripples in the circle where he had been squatting.

This green striped stone pillar floats silently in the center of the irregular pattern. The entire green striped stone pillar is dull and lacks energy.

The green stripes on the stone pillar reacted to the mysterious energy pulsating around it, and began to beat like a human heart; this beating was actually a change in the intensity of light.

“Psionicist…”

The familiar female voice echoed in his mind once again.

After the green striped stone pillar was removed, she could sense that the second layer of the seal had been broken, so her powerful spiritual energy could once again establish a connection with Lin Haiyuan.

What should I do next?

Lin Haiyuan cut to the chase without any preamble.

"The mysterious energy of the Arcane Pillars is guided into the Emerald Key. This guide, from another world's psionicist, is hereby revealed..."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, Lin Haiyuan's body seemed to undergo a sublimation phenomenon, with a large number of green particles rising and disappearing, leaving green traces.

A gentle stream of spiritual energy flowed into Lin Haiyuan's mind through his hand pressed to the ground, and then that gentle spiritual energy transformed into knowledge and merged into Lin Haiyuan's mind.

The moment the psychic energy merged into Lin Haiyuan's mind, he gained knowledge of the obscure and indescribable feelings and written knowledge.

After frowning as he accepted the almost integrated "feelings" and "knowledge" transmitted through psionic energy, Lin Haiyuan stood up from the ground and looked at the Emerald Key.

He already had a full understanding of what he was going to do next, and he also had a full understanding of what he saw in front of him.

"Your jade tomb is too shabby."

From the knowledge he had just gained, he learned the name of the Exile seal, and that "Emerald Tomb" was also the name of a Gaia planet belonging to the Holy Guard.

"Only in this way can I escape reckoning and final punishment."

Exile said.

"Alright, then I'll ask you one or two more questions. First, why are you the only one in the Emerald Tomb? Where are the others?"

Lin Haiyuan asked.

"Because after the Empire signed a pact with the End of Reincarnation, I was the only psionicist who did not have the Void Mark on my body."

Exile's answer was very pragmatic, but also somewhat unbelievable.
