Poison God's Heritage

"You need to use Soul Energy to penetrate through their layers and then you\'ll be able to understand the secrets of the Slabs. But as we are right now…"

True, we\'re currently puppets, I cannot funnel my soul energy through steel and metal.

"There is a way," the Administrator said.

All three of us turned to the Administrator.

"There is a slab reader in the Bastion. I once was tasked to move it to a storage area since it was no longer useful and was basically just gathering dust. But it can read the slabs and display their content without the use of soul energy."

"Where is the storage area?" The Blue Sun asked.

"Third floor, second section B wing. On the thirty-second shelf." The Administrator said.

"Then what are we waiting for, let\'s go get it," I said

"That won\'t be possible, the three of you are too visible and make too much noise. I\'ll go grab it, the time it should take me to go to the storage area and back is about two hours, if do not come back, you may then go and find it," the Administrator answered.

He is right, the Administrator is far nimbler than the puppets and it knows the way, not to mention it has lived here for a long time and knows how to move around the Rakshasa without getting destroyed.

"I\'ll bring the Reader back, please remain hidden or at least do not make a lot of noise, one may never know when the Noble Rakshasa might want to come back here," the Administrator said.

I nodded to the administrator who turned and zoomed forward to a far away wall where he simply penetrated through it and disappeared from view.

"What are we going to do now?" asked Tao Yang.

Her words were still halfway through as both me and the Blue Sun were already moving bits and pieces of the Fusion Reactor.

"Ah, I guess the scientists already have their mind where it should be, I\'ll go keep a watch in case of any dangers," she said.

she then used the full ability of the sniper puppet and began jumping from wall to wall all the way to the edge and made a frontal flip to land on the top level where the Noble Rakshasa was sealed.

The two of us nodded as we continued inspecting the reactor.

"I wish if we could prop open an already functional reactor," the Blue Sun said.

"I don\'t think these puppets are strong enough to sustain the gravitational pull of these things, it will crush us in seconds," I sighed.

"Look here," she said as she approached me, "This small inscription, I understand it, it is an energy transfer and magnifying inscription. This is almost similar to what you have in these puppets we\'re using," she said.

"True," I said as I took note of the inscriptions and began analyzing the rest, and couldn\'t help but laugh as I said, "I was actually on the right track."

"How come?" she asked.

"I had already thought of how to use nuclear reaction to power up my puppets, but Qi reaction is far more stable and easier to harness, however, it was never enough to satisfy me. I had a feeling that there was something more, so I used up my understanding of law and Qi to try and compress it, but always ended up failing or blowing something up.

But here, what they did was simple but so genius at the same time," I said.

"Explain," she said.

"The inscription they\'re using, they aren\'t made to compress Qi as a whole. But to slowly apply gravitational weight on them, making a single speck of Qi heavier than a ball of lead due to how much Gravitational Law it is exposed to. Then this inscription right here, will apply the same force, to another saint Qi particle, then they shoot these two particles at each other.

The power of the impact would generate force, and this would continue happening over and over and over again."

"They\'re using the force of clash and contact to create heat and energy," she said.

"Yes, only they\'re using something that is almost intangible, atoms are what makes the world, but Heavenly Qi is something that is like…well, nothing it is ordained by the heavens to exist though it cannot be touched and can only be harnessed. These inscriptions allow you to \'trap\' them into the tangible world and make them solidify then compress and fuse them for power."

"This is almost at the realm of making something out of nothing," she said.

"Close enough but not there yet, I wish I could see what\'s inside deeper in these reactors, this looks amazing," I said as we continued studying the tubular engine.

We discovered more and more mechanisms, like small almost nanometer-sized pistons that in theory should rapidly pump up the energy that is generated from the contact of materialized Qi as it clashed together and would transfer that energy to the ship like… well for the lack of a proper word, a Dynamo. Only this one was so advanced it is absurd.

The energy that the pistons would create would make the entire engine create so much force and power that it was able to help it run for tens of thousands of years all of that from a small bit of Qi.

Sadly, this one is inoperable, and since I cannot use Divine Sense, I have no idea where the issue us. My puppet eyes are mostly designed for battle and survival not for mechanical engineering. If only I had my real body with me, I sighed. Discover stories with mvl

"I know what you\'re thinking," the Blue Sun said.

"Really?" I said.

"Yes, this thing is far too complex and intricate to simply scan using puppet eyes no matter how advanced," she said as she continued scanning the outer layer of the engine.

"Look here, there is a small seam here, perhaps this is the way to open up the engine," The Blue Sun added.

"I wouldn\'t touch it," I replied.

"Why so?"

"we don\'t know if this reactor is actually in short cut, or if it simply stalled and might operate the moment we touch something we shouldn\'t. It\'s a technology that we have too little understanding of, and remember you are not in your real body where you can easily sustain any type of damage or reaction, we\'re puppets right now," I said.

"Indeed, I keep forgetting that I\'m not using my body," she sighed inwardly and we continued inspecting the entirety of the tube. Nothing out of the ordinary was discovered besides what we already saw so we just sat down trying to figure out the inner ship layout.

Without the administrator and the slab reader, we really can\'t do much right now, so we\'ll just have to wait for him to come back.

Somewhere far, far away.

Two massive stone puppets were hovering high up in the emptiness of space. And behind them was a massive warp portal that seemed to lead to an unknown universe.

Six people were standing tall in front of these puppets, after all they had finally achieved what they had promised though it took them many years.

Meng Hao, his wife Yan Song, Leng Yuyu sect master of the Purple Cloud Sect, Liang YuHairess of the Crimson Suzaku sect, Master Rain the Eccentric, and lastly a man wearing a full set of red robes and had a dragon mask on that no one knew who he was.

The six people were standing in front of the stone puppets, and one of the stone puppets spoke.

"You have returned stronger, there is no need to test your current prowess, you may all proceed," the puppet said as it waved his arm and the portal to the beyond opened up.

Everyone had been hard cultivating in the Vast Expanse to improve themselves and visit the Beyond, and now they had the ability to do so, and they now have the confidence to no longer be considered mere followers but actual companions.

With confidence in their newfound power, they took a step into the dark vortex and began the long journey to the beyond through the tunnel.
