Inner starry sky, Dianjin Island, in the polluted field of "Dead Steel Forest".

Deep underground, a full 30 kilometers above the ground, a large group of dead steel soldiers in metal power armor were chiseling the ground with the power tools in their hands.

The clanging sound was incessant, and the roar of machinery was everywhere, but the cracking of stones as they were broken by drill bits was rarely heard.

The ground beneath the Dead Steel Soldier's feet was a single piece of smooth crystal barrier with no blemishes, no gaps, no wrinkles.

As vast as the earth, it is far harder than a diamond, and not only does it have incredible hardness, but it slowly repairs itself, filling every scar left by the drill bit.

"When! While! ”

A loud popping sound.

It was the sound of heavy equipment hitting the ground with a huge metal hammer, but the crystal earth remained unmoving.

"Wow-"

The large drill bit with a diameter of more than ten meters spun wildly, and only lifted a small piece of crystal fragments, but it could not pierce the crystal earth.

The same scene is repeated over and over again in this underground space 30 kilometers underground.

This has been the case for more than 10 days.

The excavation operation carried out by the Metal Ancestor Dragon and the Death Steel Legion was finally stopped by the crystal land.

If it can't break through the crystal earth and continue digging downward, then the metal progenitor dragon won't want to touch the holy fire buried deeper underground.

The only good news is that after a series of explorations, the Death Steel Legion has discovered a rectangular window that glows with strange light in this vast crystal land.

This window appears in the crystal earth like a well, and inside it is a colorful light.

Before the Metal Ancestral Dragons came to inspect the window, the Deathsteel Legion had already sent some soldiers into it.

The end of the soldier can be imagined, but it is somewhat unexpected.

The Dead Steel soldiers lost contact as soon as they entered the window, but they did not die.

Their souls were still intact, but their consciousness had lost contact with the Captain and they were lost in the window that radiated the rainbow of light.

The Metal Ancestor Dragon rushed to hear the news.

The old dragon, who liked to show himself as a dragon man, immediately recognized the origin of this rectangular window.

The Metal Progenitor didn't explain much to the Death Steel Legion.

It simply gave an order to continue searching the crystal land for the same window, and hurried out of the underground area.

On the other side, the Assassination Angel monitors the Metal Ancestral Dragon's every move.

After discovering the existence of the mysterious window, he returned to the Spin Continent as soon as possible and told the Book Angel the news.

After thinking and recalling, the angel of the scroll probably recognized the origin of this mysterious window.

"The Crystal Earth that the Metal Progenitor Dragons are destroying is the inner barrier of the inner starry sky that we use to protect the Holy Flame."

The angel of the scroll recalls the journal of the past and says:

"I remember it very clearly. At that time, when constructing this barrier, the Star God asked three angels with superior divine powers, each of whom built a line of defense for the barrier that condensed all of their strength.

"The angel of space and gravity, Gironz, gives the barrier its indestructible qualities.

"Time and evolution Angel Senati, so that the barrier does not weaken because of the passage of time.

"Psychic and Phantom Angel Fan Yana, an illusionary space has been arranged on this barrier to prevent the invasion of non-physical creatures and spirits."

And the angel of the scroll said:

"If I'm not mistaken, those rectangular windows that appear on the barrier are the entrances to the illusion space. Any living being, or non-living being, will be tested by Fan Yana after entering the illusion space. Only Fan Yana and Star God know the shortcut to clearing the illusion space. According to my records, if the star gods want to approach the Holy Fire, they do so through the entrances of these illusionary spaces. ”

The assassination angel was wrapped in a thick purple mist, and the mist churned slightly:

"You mean, if the Metal Ancestral Dragon finds a way to break through the illusion space, it will be able to bypass the inner barrier and come into direct contact with the Holy Fire?"

The angel of the scroll nodded slightly sadly:

"It's a bit pessimistic to say that, but it's true."

Assassination Angel asks:

"Is there a way we can close the entrances to those phantom spaces?"

"No, at least we don't. Only Fan Yana, the Angel of the Heart, knows how to manipulate the illusion space. ”

The angel of the scroll groaned for a moment, and said with a little helplessness:

"For now, we can only hope to find the whereabouts of the Angel of the Heart."

The assassination angel bowed silently.

Time passed in contemplative and mechanical surveillance work, and it was late that night that things changed.

Since discovering the mysterious window in the crystal lands, the metal progenitor dragon has left the underground and returned to the metal magic ship docked at the docks of Bald's Gate.

Through the ritual circle inside the magic ship, it has made a spiritual connection with the clone of the alien sky.

Unable to see the thoughts in the head of the Metal Ancestral Dragon, the Assassin Angel had no way of knowing what instructions the other party had given to his clone.

But in the middle of the night today, the metal progenitor dragon suddenly woke up in the ritual circle of the magic ship, and then angrily and irritably set off a metal storm inside the ship, wantonly destroying the ritual circle and metal facilities, and venting the anger in his heart.

In order to avoid being injured by mistake, the assassination angel quietly stayed away from some metal storms.

Probably just as he had retreated to safety, the Metal Primordial Dragon let out a roar of reluctance and resentment:

"Damn reptiles! What the hell killed my doppelganger! Who the hell is stopping me?! Damn, I almost made it! It's just a little bit!! ”

The scene of the metal ancestor dragon going crazy was stunned when he saw the assassination angel.

Thinking that the other party had given an order to the doppelganger in the alien sky, and the doppelganger in the alien sky was inexplicably killed by a mysterious existence, the assassination angel almost instinctively thought of Li Nuo who stayed in the alien sky...

Could it be that Li Nuo's plot to make the metal progenitor dragon in the alien sky fail?

With this in mind, the Assassination Angel returned to the Spin Continent again and discussed with the Book Angel.

The two "people" are combined, instead of the two of them guessing in the starry sky themselves, it is better to directly contact Li Nuo in the alien sky and ask for details.

It would have been better if it had happened to be Li Nuo who had thwarted the Metal Ancestral Dragon's plan.

Thus, a ritual emanating from the inner starry sky and pointing to the outer starry sky began.

It didn't take long for the scroll angel standing in the center of the circle to sense Li Nuo, who seemed to be moving at high speed.

After waiting patiently for about ten seconds, Li Nuo entered a static state and connected the "long-distance call" from the Angel of the Book.

"Did you just finish your fight with the Metal Ancestral Dragon?" The angel of the scroll asked.

Li Nuo's heart jumped:

"You know so quickly? Oh yes, yes, the Assassination Angel has been keeping an eye on that old dragon. You know that's normal. ”

The Angel of the Book and the Angel of Assassination glanced at each other, and their eyebrows seemed to say that this was indeed the case.

The Angel of the Book continued:

"What happened between you? Why did the old dragon look so angry? ”

Li Nuo had just teleported to the dean's office with the snowwing cat at this time.

He pulled out his chair and sat down, describing his actions with the core of the Command Plane in vivid voice.

From organizing players to drop their connections, to using spiritual constructs to lure the Angel Enterprise Consortium into taking the bait, to discovering the metal progenitor's clone to tamper with the transport ship's jump route, and so on.

Nearly a quarter of an hour has passed since this long list of events has been fully recounted.

At the end of the words, Li Nuo gave a pertinent evaluation of himself and the operation of the "order":

"We only used a shipload of spiritual structures as a price to severely damage the fleet of the Redemption Angel Group of the Angel Enterprise Consortium, destroyed the dark galaxy of the Metal Creation Group, and set the Metal Ancestor Dragon Qi on fire, which can be regarded as an effort to get a triple return."

After listening to this, the angel pondered for a few seconds before he said:

"So, the Metal Ancestral Dragon is so angry because you stopped its clone from plundering the spirit structure twice in a row?"

Li Nuo tilted his head slightly, and then pressed his chin harder:

"Yes. Judging by the chronological order, it should be like this. ”

The angel of the scroll muttered to himself in confusion:

"What does the Metal Ancestral Dragon want a spiritual construct for?"

The Angel of the Book deflected his head to meet the gaze of the Assassin Angel.

The eyes of the two "people" met, inspiration burst out, and they said in unison:

"It's to explore the illusionary space."

"Uh, what illusion space?" Li Nuo heard the voices of the two opponents through the ritual circle.

The angel of the book sorted out his thoughts and told the story of what happened 30 kilometers underground on Dianjin Island in the past period of time.

Li Nuo listened and flipped through the results.

He killed the Metal Ancestral Dragon's dragonman clone in one fell swoop, triggering passive deconstruction and obtaining a very detailed decomposition result.

Among the many decomposition results, the instructions given by the metal progenitor dragon body to this dragon clone suddenly appeared.

That's right, this clone is collecting psionic constructs for the Metal Progenitor.

After gathering the spiritual constructs, the clones will use the ritual circle to send all the constructs into the inner starry sky for the main body to send.

Li Nuo knew that this matter was important.

After waiting for the angel of the scroll to finish the news of the illusion space, he immediately shared the results of the solution.

Two angels and a human finally figured out all the schemes of the metal progenitor dragon at this moment.

This old dragon just wanted to use the spiritual structure to explore the illusion space left by the Angel of the Heart on the inner barrier, and find a way to break through the illusion blockade.

The reason why the Metal Ancestral Dragons valued psionic constructs so much was simple.

The ability of psionic structures to be reborn in a specific place after death is the most important thing.

Imagine that.

After a group of spiritual constructs enter the illusion space and find that they are cornered, they can be resurrected outside the illusion space by rebirth after death.

After a few cycles like this, would the Metal Progenitor Dragon be able to use the spirit structure to figure out the situation in the illusion space?

Some extraordinary creatures created by magical means also have the property of whether or not they are reborn in a specific location.

For example, the shadow creatures that Leno had encountered before.

However, the status of these creatures is too low, and it is very likely that they will not be able to be reborn after death in the illusion space arranged by the Angel of the Heart.

Only a top-notch such as a spiritual construct that has been certified by the Star Palace can be immune to the constraints of the illusion space and be reborn outside the illusion space.

The Angel of the Book thought about it for a moment.

If he were to crack the secrets of the illusionary space, he would have done the same thing as the Metal Ancestral Dragon.

Using psionic constructs to explore the illusion space should be the safest way to do it in a short period of time.

"I don't think the Metal Ancestral Dragon will just give up." The angel of the scroll said,

"There's a good chance it'll continue to look for ways to get psychic constructs."

Li Nuo writes:

"Do you want me to stare at the clones it has placed in the alien sky?"

The angel of the scroll pondered and asked:

"Do you have a way to lock down its clone?"

Li Nuo shook his head regretfully:

"No way yet. I didn't find any information related to other clones in the deconstruction results. ”

The angel of the scroll looked at the angel of assassination:

"Then I'll have to ask Beria for help. We must keep a close eye on the Metal Ancestral Dragon to know if it has been connected to other clones. If we have the chance, it's best to know where its doppelganger is in the alien sky. ”

The assassination angel answered:

"No problem. The next time it performs a ritual, I'll try to sense the direction the ritual is pointing into. It's a bit dangerous, but I'll be careful. ”

Li Nuo chimed in:

"I'm going to let the Orders pay more attention. If a player goes missing, it will notify me as soon as possible. ”

The Angel of the Book said:

"That's all for now."

Without further ado, the Assassination Angel immediately returned to the Metal Ancestral Dragon and continued to monitor the cause.

Li Nuo discussed his progress in the alien sky with the Angel of the Book.

Half an hour later.

The Book Angel was just about to end the ceremony, but saw the figure of the assassination angel quickly condense in front of him.

After revealing his form, the assassination angel couldn't wait to say:

"There is a situation. The Metal Ancestral Dragon had just held two ceremonies. ”

"What ritual?" The angel of the scroll asked.

Assassination Angel Dao:

"It's all a ritual to communicate with the alien sky. The first ritual points to the Cult of the Dark God. The Metal Ancestral Dragon didn't seem to have reached any cooperation with the Dark God Descent, and was very annoyed and disappointed. At the end of this ceremony, it immediately began the second ceremony. The second ceremony pointed to the Angel Business Consortium. This time, it seems to have succeeded in reaching a certain cooperation with the consortium. ”

Li Nuo could still hear the conversation between the two angels at this time.

Thinking that both the Dark God Descent Sect and the Angel Enterprise Consortium had spiritual constructs in their hands, Li Nuo's thoughts were opened:

"The Cult of the Dark Gods has mastered some spiritual constructs that cannot be obtained from the surface by polluting the core of the Command plane. The Angel Business Consortium has recruited some of the undead who have defected to them through public solicitation. Could it be that the Metal Ancestral Dragon wanted to buy or borrow a few spiritual constructs from these two alien forces? ”

The atmosphere around the ritual circle suddenly became a little heavy.
