Facing her eager expression, Li Ang said, "Watch operate, and I’ll tell you the function of these places."
"You’ve already done research?" Loken asked from the side.
"If it’s a witch, they can sense so magic power flowing rhythmically according to its spirituality," Li Ang made up an excuse without changing his expression.
The engineers, though enthusiastic, couldn’t find a point of entry, so they stopped and watched to see what Li Ang would do.
Although the witch’s ability was a lie, Li Ang indeed felt the special magic power.
During legon’s speech earlier, he tasted it, and it seed related to the lting and Gathering Law.
He tentatively moved the control lever, and a crystal rose from the center of the operation platform.
"What is this?"
Zoe curiously leaned over to examine it.
"Don’t rush to see anything that erges from relics imdiately."
Li Angxian instructed her before walking in front of the crystal-like object.
This thing indeed didn’t seem dangerous, so he didn’t stop the young girl, but what needed teaching still had to be taught.
"There’s a dent on here, which feels a bit like a hand."
Alulu spoke as she compared her delicate little hand with the recess of the crystal plate, puzzled.
"If it’s a hand, why are there only four fingers?"
"Maybe the race that built this place was like that?" Xiaomo interjected.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, the beast-eared young man smiled and said, "Including the first exploration, I’ve chopped several tis at the tal guards here under Li Ang’s curse art blessing, and the undead controlling them were destroyed several tis too. I found them physically strong but very short, with particularly thick fingers."
"Though I didn’t look closely at their palms, the thickness of the fingers and the proportions of the palms resemble the shape of this recess."
The crowd couldn’t determine whether the crystal plate had a handprint because it’s far larger compared to a human hand, and the fingers are all quite thick.
Li Ang thought Xiaomo’s guess ca close to the truth; in the Island Founder’s inheritance, they liked to create four-fingered chanical arms, probably a reflection of the racial characteristics.
They, along with engineering knowledge, should have been together for a long ti. The magic power of Nebis evolved races faster than Earth, with thick fingers likely born to grasp tool handles more steadily.
Li Ang lined up his hand with the crystal plate and tried pressing it down.
Upon first contact, his magic power was swiftly extracted a little, then the crystal plate returned so, seemingly carrying so sort of information.
Was it insufficient? Or does it require so proof?
He tried transitioning the magic power via the lting and Gathering Law before inputting it, and the control console imdiately reacted.
A string of strange sounds emanated from the control console, sounding like a form of language.
Everyone present couldn’t understand what this sound was saying, but in their sight, a phantom ford by magic power slowly rose.
Appearance-wise, this phantom was a strong, short human, indeed only with four fingers.
The phantom stared forward blankly, and the machine releasing it ascended from the console’s opened door. The emitted sounds changed several tis, eventually becoming an ancient language mixed with so recognizable words and short phrases.
"Welco... furnace... outsider..."
"Nebis ancient language?" Loken questioned.
"It should be,"
Li Ang had perused so case files of Nebis ancient language, but it was too complex, and he read it against a dictionary, forgetting most afterward.
The Nebis ancient language most familiar to everyone was the nas of the Four Major Aerial Realms, like Flos’ "flower," Sable’s "sand," etc.
"Detect... dialect... evolution..."
"Correcting..."
After a period of chanical sound, the voice from the phantom continued to change, finally becoming closer to modern Nebis Universal Language.
"Welco to the chanical Creation Furnace, outsider."
Finally, the people present understood the phantom’s words.
"The chanical Creation Furnace should be the na of the facility we are in, right?" legon said.
"Exactly," the phantom replied.
The white-haired Knight Commander was sowhat surprised: "An ancient device that can converse?"
"I am the personification of the auxiliary thought unit of the chanical Creation Furnace. Due to the magic probe being screened for a long ti, the ti scale has blurred, but I understand it’s been a prolonged era since the departure of the owners and creators—the ’Island Founders.’
The owners didn’t destroy the final creation, which condensed the effort of their entire race, but adjusted it to low-power operating mode, hoping to retain the possibility for outsiders to discern the legacy upon reaching here.
"Since you’ve awakened , it shows you’ve obtained the Island Founder’s legacy, qualifying as the new master of this place."
The thought unit phantom looked straight at Li Ang, directly unveiling his foundation.
"Ah, you really found sothing good," Xiaomo was the first to claw Li Ang’s shoulder.
"Hey, hey, a bit lighter; didn’t I say? It’s seen from the spiritual level..."
Li Ang removed the beast-eared youth’s hand and explained with the usual excuse.
Because the doors to the chanical Creation Furnace were opened by Li Ang, his words actually didn’t raise much suspicion. Only Xiaomo, who saw Akuya open the door firsthand and is familiar with Li Ang, sensed sothing amiss, but he could see Li Ang didn’t want to elaborate in front of others, so he buried the doubts in his heart and outwardly pretended to trust him.
"Was the previous fla just low-power mode?" Farina cared, concerned with another statent by the phantom.
"Seems so; when I turned it off, I saw it could actually run with greater effect," Li Ang pointed at the giant chanical sphere above.
"Without a touch of transcendence beyond current people’s ingenuity, how could they use this chanical furnace to build the large ships outside?" Loken found it reasonable.
"Please leave your na to confirm the new controller of the chanical Creation Furnace," the phantom said to Li Ang.
"Li Ang."
"Okay, Master Li Ang, based on your exhibited magic power frequency, you currently possess 33% furnace permissions. Specifics can be inquired from ."
"Tell ?"
"Sure. Your current permissions include: material fine processing—Mountain Copper, Mithril, Refined Gold, Blue Iron, Purple Moon Steel, Crystal Iron, Earth Tin...
"Natural material invocation—Sunshine Stone, Sea Sound Stone, Island Soul Stone, Wind Wall Stone, Light Crown Stone, Dark Abyss Stone...
"Engineering device assembly—light transport unit, dium transport unit, dium assembly unit..."
Li Ang raised his hand: "Stop, stop."
He patiently listened to several sections of the thought unit’s information, as if announcing dishes, bearing no summary.
Specifically, what permissions are there will be explored later. If this thing’s information provision is this backward, Li Ang himself will have to spend effort organizing it to know exactly what degree the 33% permissions entail.
"As you command," the phantom paused and fell silent.
Li Ang glanced around, exchanged opinions with the crowd, and re-inquired about the issue the crowd was most concerned with.
"This place is called the chanical Creation Furnace, and its original owners claim themselves as Island Founders. Explain these two nas."
"Okay. The chanical Creation Furnace ans the hearth for creating chanical wonders; its na mostly stems from an invention based on Nebis legends, inspired by ’Creation Furnace,’ the divine facility left since creation, aiming to achieve the Creation Furnace’s power from my furnace."
"Did they visit the Creation Furnace?"
"Yes."
"Where is the Creation Furnace?"
"Your permissions do not allow knowledge of this issue yet."
Alright, inquire again after increasing permissions later.
Seeing the Do Furnace Association’s goal so close in front of him, Li Ang was sowhat excited; just from this angle, this battle wasn’t fought in vain.
"Then, the next question: the Island Founders left, where did they go?"
"The Deus people requested them to go to the Creation Furnace to build war machines. They felt the entire race would be silenced by the Deus people, so they sealed this place, hoping to leave the legacy to soone who could regain control of the chanical Creation Furnace. With this power, the successor might defeat the Deus people. The Island Founders believed the ultimate weapon Star Soul’s strength, which the Deus people rely on, exists here."
"Destroy the Star Soul?!"
Not only Li Ang exclaid in shock.
"How to do it?" Li Ang quickly asked.
"The Island Founders’ millennia of accomplishnts, all concentrated in one Power of Law, capable of dismantling the Star Soul body that carries the Deus people’s tyranny."
