Chapter 661 The First Search for the Heart of the Universe
After returning from the mysterious passage, Lin Yu and his group fell into deep thought. The clues to the Heart of the Universe were too faint, but without finding them, the balance of the universe could not be restored, and the "Dark Eclipse" might even return. The commander of the mysterious fleet spoke up: "Since this is the key to restoring the balance of the universe, our mysterious fleet is willing to search for the Heart of the Universe together." Lin Yu looked at him gratefully, nodded his thanks, and with the assistance of the mysterious fleet, their hope increased.
Ellie and her research team quickly immersed themselves in studying the Heart of the Universe, attempting to find clues from the vast sea of cosmic data. They spent their days at the research base, analyzing various ancient documents, energy fluctuation records, and interstellar legends. Lin Yu was also busy; he organized multiple reconnaissance teams to conduct a thorough search of the galaxies near the energy channel, leaving no possible clue unchecked.
After several sleepless days of research, Ellie finally made a discovery. Excitedly, she presented Lin Yu with a fragment of an ancient interstellar civilization's scroll: "Look at this! It records a mysterious energy crystal, described in a way very similar to the Heart of the Universe. It's said to possess powerful purifying abilities, capable of calming chaotic energy, and is hidden in a place called the Misty Galaxy." Lin Yu took the scroll, carefully examining the blurred text and obscure star map, his eyes gleaming with hope: "The Misty Galaxy… although the information is limited, this is a good start."
Thus, Lin Yu and the mysterious fleet commander led the combined fleet towards the Misty Galaxy. Along the way, everyone was filled with anticipation, yet also apprehensive, unsure of what awaited them. As the fleet approached the Misty Galaxy, the scene before them was breathtaking. The entire galaxy was shrouded in a thick, eerily glowing mist, obscuring its interior.
"Be careful, this fog seems strange." Lin Yu cautiously ordered, "Activate all detection equipment, maintain tight formation, and advance slowly." The fleet slowly entered the fog and immediately felt a powerful interference force. The ship's navigation system and communication equipment malfunctioned, the pointers spun wildly, and the signal was intermittent. The crew could only rely on experience and limited backup equipment to grope their way forward.
Suddenly, a group of strange creatures burst forth from the mist. Their forms were ethereal, their translucent bodies shimmering with multicolored light, like moving flames. These creatures attacked the fleet directly, beams of energy shooting from their bodies, striking the ship's shields and creating ripples.
"Counterattack!" Lin Yu decisively ordered. The fleet reacted swiftly, its weapon systems firing at full power, beams of energy shooting towards the strange creatures. However, these creatures were exceptionally agile, weaving freely through the dense barrage of fire, their attacks showing no signs of abating.
During the intense battle, Xiao Wang discovered that these creatures seemed to react to sound waves of a specific frequency. He immediately shouted through the communicator, "Everyone, try adjusting your weapon frequencies and emitting low-frequency shockwaves!" Upon hearing this, everyone quickly adjusted their weapon parameters and emitted low-frequency shockwaves. Sure enough, the strange creatures were affected, their movements became sluggish, and their attack rhythm was disrupted.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the fleet concentrated its firepower and launched a fierce attack on the strange creatures. Under the overwhelming firepower, the strange creatures fled and disappeared into the depths of the mist. Having resolved the immediate crisis, the group continued to venture deeper into the star system. As they advanced, the mist gradually thinned, and a massive ring-shaped structure came into view. The surface of the structure was covered with strange symbols and patterns, exuding a mysterious aura.
"Could this be the place where the Heart of the Universe is hidden?" Ellie wondered. Lin Yu nodded and led the group closer to the building. When they reached the entrance, an energy barrier blocked their path. Lin Yu reached out and touched the barrier; instantly, a powerful electric current surged through his body, and he quickly withdrew his hand.
A member of the mysterious fleet took out an energy analyzer and scanned the barrier: "This is an ancient energy protection mechanism; it requires a specific energy frequency to break." The group circled the barrier, analyzing the symbols and patterns on it, trying to find clues to decipher it. Just as they were racking their brains, Lin Yu suddenly remembered some symbols he had seen in the ruins before, which seemed similar to those here. He quickly recalled the arrangement patterns and energy fluctuation characteristics of those symbols in his mind, and tried adjusting the parameters of the energy analyzer.
The moment he pressed the confirm button, a miracle occurred. The energy barrier slowly dissipated, revealing a passage leading into the building. A soft light filled the passage, seemingly beckoning them. Lin Yu took a deep breath and led the way into the passage, silently praying that the Heart of the Universe lay at its end. Would they truly find the coveted Heart of the Universe, or face yet another unknown crisis?
