Chapter 208 He paved the way for us! Keep moving forward!!

　"We can't retreat." Xu An's voice was low but firm. "Retreating means we'll lose this opportunity forever. Only by moving forward can we uncover the truth of all this."

Elena nodded and quickly adjusted the starship's power system. "The engine has regained some functionality. We can try to approach that area."

Taro gritted his teeth and said nothing more. He knew that he couldn't change his direction in the face of Xu An's decision.

The starship slowly approached the void. The surrounding purple light grew stronger, as if some living entity was watching them.

The Guardian's figure suddenly retreated, its movements slow but powerful, as if guiding the starship forward until it completely merged into the edge of the void.

"It's paving the way for us." Elena stared at the screen, complex emotions in her eyes. "It's not hostile, but it doesn't completely trust us either."

As the starship approached the edge of the void, the gravity in that area suddenly increased. The starship's hull began to emit a series of low rumbling sounds, as if it would collapse under the pressure at any moment.

Xu An stood in the command cabin, staring ahead. He could sense that there was some unimaginable power hidden behind this void.

Suddenly, a powerful wave of energy surged from the void, instantly enveloping the entire starship. Alarms blared on the control consoles, and all systems were briefly paralyzed.

"Xu An!" Taro's voice was filled with fear. "We have lost all control of the starship!"

Elena's face turned extremely pale. She stared at the data on the screen, her voice trembling, "This is not an ordinary energy fluctuation... It's trying to directly invade our consciousness!"

At this moment, Xu An felt a sudden shock in his mind, and a low and ancient voice sounded deep in his consciousness.

"The meaning of the trial is to make a choice." The voice was cold and deep, as if it came from the end of endless time and space.

Xu An's body shook, and his eyes slowly became more determined.

The sound continued to echo with an irresistible power.

The purple light around the starship suddenly disappeared, revealing an empty space inside the cavity.

A huge sphere appeared in front, flashing with countless complex symbols.

The light inside the sphere became brighter and brighter, as if a door was opening.

The huge sphere was suspended in the void, like an isolated island in the universe, emitting a brilliance that was difficult to look directly at.

The light was not scorching, but rather carried a chilling chill, as if every flowing wave of light was devouring everything around it.

Xu An stood in the command cabin of the starship, staring at the "door" that was gradually opening.

He could feel that what was gushing out of the sphere was not just energy, but an indescribable will.

"The sphere's internal structure is changing." Elena quickly adjusted the detector, her voice revealing an undisguised nervousness. "It seems to be attracting us, but also seems to be trying to suppress something."

Taro gripped the console tightly, his voice low and alert, "This thing looks more like a prison than a teleporter. We might be approaching something that's blocked."

Chapter 209 This isn’t just a door! It’s a living thing!!

On the screen, detection data kept scrolling.

The gravitational field surrounding the starship was changing rapidly, and the fluctuations in space slammed into the hull like a tide, with each impact threatening to crush the entire ship into pieces.

"The interference of the gravitational field is getting more and more serious." Elena turned to look at Xu An, a hint of uneasiness in her eyes, "We can't keep the starship stable. If we get any closer, the hull may disintegrate."

Xu An did not look away, his eyes were always fixed on the door that was gradually opening.

"The core symbol has been fixed." Xu An's voice was low, but filled with an unshakable determination. "This is not a prison, but a guiding door. Only by passing through it can we, 847, solve all the puzzles."

Elena's fingers trembled slightly, and she tried to steady her breathing. "Xu An, are you sure this isn't a trap? The energy fluctuations inside have already exceeded the starship's tolerance limit."

"We have no choice." Xu An's voice was filled with an irresistible determination. "Keep moving closer."

Taro gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the console. "Xu An, if we go through it, we may never come back. We don't even know what's on the other side of it."

Xu An turned to look at Tarot, his gaze as deep as an endless abyss. "Do you want to be lost forever in this void? We have lost our way out. The answer lies ahead."

As soon as the words fell, the huge sphere suddenly burst out with a strong light.

The light instantly penetrated the void and enveloped the entire starship.

The entire ship shook violently, and all systems issued shrill alarms at the same time.

"The intensity of the energy field has exceeded the warning level!" Elena screamed, her hands constantly operating on the console. "If this continues for another five minutes, our engines will completely shut down!"

"Use all your strength to output the protective shield!" Xu An ordered without hesitation, "No matter what, keep the starship intact."

The light of the protective shield lit up on the outer wall of the starship, but that light seemed extremely fragile in front of the huge sphere.

The symbols in the sphere began to change violently, as if countless lives were surging within it.

A deep crack suddenly appeared in its center, and the crack was like a huge pupil, staring at the starship.

"What is this..." Taro muttered softly, cold sweat already seeping out of his forehead, "It's not a door, it's like a living thing!"

Elena's eyes flashed with fear, "That's a consciousness being released from the sphere! It's observing us!"

At this moment, all the lights inside the starship suddenly went out.

The entire command cabin fell into dead silence and darkness.

Only the huge sphere was shining outside, projecting light through the porthole onto Xu An's face, reflecting an almost indifferent expression.

"It's invading our system." Elena's voice was extremely clear in the darkness. "I'm trying to stop it, but its speed far exceeds our system's response."

Taro stood up suddenly, his voice filled with anger and anxiety, "We can't just sit there and wait for death! If it really takes control of the starship, we're finished!"

Xu An raised his hand and signaled Tarot to calm down.

"It won't destroy us." Xu An whispered, "It needs us."

Elena's hand suddenly stopped, and she turned to look at Xu An in surprise, "Xu An, you mean... it's trying to establish contact with us?"

Chapter 210: Void Beam Attacks! Emergency Defense!!

　"That's right." Xu An nodded. "Its invasion is not for destruction, but for communication. We have approached its core, and it needs us to accomplish something."

The starship's system suddenly recovered at this moment.

The symbols on the screen were arranged in a completely new way, forming a complex pattern.

Elena stared at the pattern, her eyes suddenly widening. "This is a navigation signal! It's guiding us!"

Xu An looked at the pattern on the screen, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

"This is the final road," Xu An said. "Through it, we will reach the unknown other side."

"What if it deceived us?" Taro asked in a low voice, his eyes full of doubt.

Xu An didn't answer. He walked straight to the center of the command module and put his hand on the console.

"Start the engine." Xu An's voice was firm and calm. "No matter what the outcome, we must move forward."

Elena hesitated for a moment, then quickly entered the command into the console.

The starship's engine emitted a low roar, and the entire ship began to move towards the gap in the sphere.

As the starship approached, the gap became brighter and brighter, and the light gradually turned into a dazzling white, swallowing up everything around it.

A huge gravitational force erupted from the sphere, pulling the starship into the gap.

The surrounding space began to tremble violently, as if the rules of time and space were being redefined.

At that moment, all sound and light disappeared.

The starship entered an endless vortex.

There is no direction or boundary here, only countless points of light flowing slowly in the void.

These spots of light seemed to be whispering something, but it was impossible to hear clearly.

"We're here." Xu An's voice broke the silence.

A strange scene suddenly appeared on the screen.

It was a starry sky with countless fragments suspended in it.

Each fragment emits a faint light, as if recording some ancient memory.

"This is where it brought us." Elena's voice was filled with confusion, "But what is here...?"

Xu An didn't say anything. His eyes moved slowly, staring at the huge piece of debris in the center of the screen.

The surface of the fragment was covered with complex symbols and emitted a faint blue light.

"There." Xu An pointed to the fragment, "The answer is in that fragment."

At this moment, the starship's detector suddenly sounded an alarm.

"Something's approaching!" Taro's voice was filled with tension. "They... aren't natural objects!"

Several blurry shadows emerged in the void ahead.

The shadows slowly approached, each emitting a strong hostility.

Elena quickly adjusted the detector, her voice filled with fear, "Those are not living creatures... They are armed warships!"

Taro stood up suddenly, his pupils shrinking slightly, "There are other invaders here!"

Xu An stood in the center of the command cabin, his eyes as cold as a knife, "Prepare for battle."

In the void ahead, those blurry shadows gradually took on clear outlines.

They look like huge black hulls, but do not have any power systems or weapon systems that a starship should have.

These ships were integrated into one, their surfaces covered with deep purple light, like a group of silent predators, slowly approaching.

Taro's fingers pressed hard against the console, his voice thick with suppressed anger. "These aren't ordinary warships. The way they move defies the laws of physics."

Elena quickly analyzed the data on the screen, her face growing paler. "They don't move via engines, but directly jump through space. Our defense system simply can't lock onto their position in advance."

Xu An stood in the center, his eyes fixed on the enemy figure on the screen.

His expression was calm, yet it seemed to conceal a deep-seated determination. "These warships are not for exploration, but for destruction."

Taro turned around abruptly, his face full of tension, "Xu An, if these things are guarding this area, they won't allow any outsiders to approach here."

Xu An raised his hand, signaling everyone to remain calm, "They are not invincible. We have a chance to break through."

Elena's voice suddenly broke the silence, "The energy fluctuations of these warships are increasing dramatically. They are preparing to launch an attack!"

Before he finished speaking, several dazzling purple lights suddenly lit up in the void.

The purple light was like a spear, instantly tearing through the surrounding space and piercing directly into the hull of the starship.

· ····Request flowers···· ··

The starship's protective shield vibrated violently in the impact, and a heart-pounding buzzing sound was heard throughout the entire hull.

"The shield has dropped to 60%!" Elena reported quickly, her voice filled with urgency. "This energy fluctuation is too strong. We can't hold out for much longer!"

Xu An pressed the control console with one hand and quickly issued orders with the other, "Adjust the ship's angle and activate the counterattack system. Don't stop, quickly cross this area."

Tarot immediately executed the operation, and the starship's engine emitted a low roar.

The muzzles on both sides slowly extended, shooting out beams of blazing light, accurately shooting towards the enemy ships.

In the void, blazing beams of light intertwined with deep purple energy, like lightning exploding in the starry sky.

..........

But those black ships showed no signs of retreat. They dispersed at an extremely fast speed and formed a hunting formation among each other.

"They're surrounding us!" Taro roared. "These things have absolutely no weaknesses. No attack can shake their structure!"

Xu An's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was calm and decisive, "Their goal is not to destroy us, but to prevent us from getting close to the debris."

"You mean, they are protecting that area?" Elena looked at Xu An in disbelief.

"That's right." Xu An nodded. "The closer we get, the more violent their attacks will become. This means that this area is extremely important to them."

Taro slammed his fist on the console. "If this continues, the starship will be completely defeated. We must find a way to break their blockade."

"Break through directly." Xu An's tone was as cold as iron. "Concentrate all power on the propulsion system and rush towards the core fragments at full speed."

Elena was stunned for a moment, then quickly adjusted the engine parameters. "Full-speed propulsion may cause system overload, and the starship's structure may not be able to withstand it!"

"We have no other choice." Xu An said word by word, "Only by passing through here can we escape the pursuit of these things."

Taro took a deep breath and quickly confirmed the command, "Activate the maximum power propulsion system!"

The starship trembled violently, and the roar of the engine echoed thousands of times within the hull.

Chapter 211: The space jump is interrupted! The threat in the darkness is approaching!

The entire ship rushed forward at an incredible speed, tearing apart the distorted void in front of it.
