The situation aboard the warship quickly cald down. After eting with Long Fei, the Elders Council also acknowledged this princess as a worthy ally.
Having just awoken, they missed an era and needed the strong figures of this era to help them return to the world.
Under their control of the warship, it took just a week to reach the Star Domain where Aurelius is located.
To avoid alerting the enemy, Long Fei and the Elders Council decided that he, Jin Wu, and the princess’s party would first take a small boat to Aurelius. After reconnaissance and planning there, the larger warship would descend upon Aurelius.
Tai’en and his group stayed aboard the ship, as it would be too conspicuous for them to go.
With the support of this ancient warship, Jin Wu, who was in charge of leading the way, felt increasingly confident.
The group boarded the small boat and quickly entered the orbit of Aurelius.
From the universe, this planet didn’t look as lively as Earth. It appeared barren and dry, with black rock structures.
It’s the sa size as Ancient Earth, ten tis that of the current Earth.
Jin Xiyao, who had been asleep for 130,000 years, returned to her holand, grabbed Long Fei’s hand, and her eyes imdiately turned red.
Jin Wu reminded her, "Princess ancestor, this place is vastly different from your era. You’d better be ntally prepared."
"I know."
Jin Xiyao nodded, not appearing fragile.
As their small boat reached Aurelius’s outer space, giant steel tropolises surrounding Aurelius flew out, encircling them.
Jin Wu told Long Fei, "These space cities are the first barrier of Aurelius. Any warship or cosmic wanderer entering Aurelius is monitored by this defense system, even an eagle would be detected."
Long Fei observed that this defensive space seed like a city wall encircling the entire Aurelius.
The planet appeared like a steel monster.
Machines were continuously building this outer barrier, possibly preparing to construct a full circle around it.
A voice quickly ca through the receiver, "Intruder, please stop your vessel imdiately and provide your information."
"Repeat, please stop your vessel imdiately and provide your information."
The opposite side had over a hundred warships, and this circular disc-shaped flying object was no match for them.
The whole warship was a black streamlined shape, resembling a black droplet.
Jin Wu responded for authentication as he introduced to Long Fei, "All these warships are unmanned, directly controlled by the Ten Great Elders of the capital city, and are our latest warship developnt on Aurelius."
The receiver quickly replied, "Authentication approved, please follow the designated route to enter the port, and have a pleasant journey."
The warships quickly parted, allowing Long Fei and his party to pass through.
The spacecraft passed through the outer space defense walls, entering through a gate-like passage.
Long Fei noticed that the walls were guarded and patrolled solely by chanical People.
He had never seen these chanical People before.
Long Fei always felt these people were like robots from the movies, but didn’t expect they had long transcended the form of machines.
Even though made of tal, they took on human form.
Through their bodies, Long Fei saw molten iron and the chip in the brain control room.
Jin Xiyao also stared at these chanical People, her brows furrowed, "I didn’t expect that the High Priest’s prophecy was true."
Long Fei curiously asked, "What prophecy?"
Jin Xiyao replied, "He said the next era of Aurelius will be called the Great Extinction Era, where the fortune of the Human Race declines, and Demonic Spirits take on the form of the Human Race, enjoying human lives as soulless specters. These chanical People are those Demonic Spirits."
Long Fei was quite intrigued by this High Priest, hearing about two prophecies from Jin Xiyao, both of which seed validated.
He asked Jin Xiyao, "Which race does your High Priest belong to? What’s his cultivation level?"
Jin Xiyao shook her head, "I don’t know, they are a mysterious clan. Their cultivation level isn’t high, but they are knowledgeable in astronomical calendars, capable of predicting futures and assessing the past. There should be traces of them in all Nine Domains; such priests existed in empires at that ti. During the Demon Calamity, they seed to receive so call and vanished altogether."
Long Fei nodded, having heard so stories about this clan elsewhere.
They seed similar to the Mayans of Earth, proficient in astronomy, calendar, and mathematics.
They could delve into the past and forecast the future.
The spacecraft descended, quickly revealing the full view of a city.
As Long Fei expected, it was a giant city made of steel and cent.
Skyscrapers over a thousand ters tall stood in the center of the city.
Below, the lights were dazzling, with diverse, cold tal structures forming the city.
Various flying objects and land vehicles connected by iron fras densely traversed the city.
The whole city lacked any hint of greenery.
Looking around made one’s eyes feel sowhat oppressed.
On the city’s outskirts, a hundred-ter-high steel wall was constructed.
The wall was equipped with various cannon installations and spotlights continuously patrolling, indicating a tense atmosphere, suggesting potential military activity.
Jin Xiyao said with stifled unease, "Why does this city look like a machine, with not a bit of green?"
Jin Wu chuckled dryly, "Princess ancestor, you know our Aurelius environnt. Due to the rich Golden Elental Power underground, the soil isn’t suitable for ordinary plants’ growth. So only wealthy families have plants; ordinary people may never see a green plant in their lifeti."
Jin Xiyao glared at him, "That’s an excuse. You’ve gone down the wrong path. The cities we built back then had lower buildings made of flat transparent glass. Greenery was everywhere indoors, with large parks prevalent; everything was shielded from the air."
Jin Wu sighed, "That was in the past, now it’s different. chanical People don’t need to breathe; greens are useless to them, so they lack enthusiasm for plants. Every day, a vast number of chanical People are born, they need housing, so buildings get higher and higher."
"Sha on you! As a mber of the Human Race’s Imperial Family, shouldn’t you fight for our rights instead of collaborating with the chanical Tribe to enslave humans together?"
Jin Xiyao glared at him, feeling sowhat stifled in her heart.
Jin Wu chuckled apologetically, "Ancestor, I brought you here to resist, didn’t I? I was just biding my ti, waiting for the right mont. Now that it’s co, haven’t I imdiately turned to the side of light?"
Jin Xiyao curled her lips, no longer reprimanding him.
The spacecraft landed at the designated city airport, preparing for inspection by airport personnel.
These hundred-ter-sized crafts are regulated in the city and can only station and depart from this airport, not privately stored in a Storage Ring.
On the tarmac, military crafts equipped with heavy weapons stood ready with lights on.
After their identities were checked, Jin Wu casually asked, "What’s going on today? The city seems to be on high alert?"
One person replied, "Half a month ago, monsters were unearthed at various mines outside the city. They’ve already killed hundreds of thousands of the Human Race and are now gathering and so have already infiltrated our Jinzun City."
"Monsters?"
Jin Wu frowned and exchanged a glance with Long Fei and the others.
During their journey, Jin Wu had already prepared false identities for Long Fei and the princess using docunts from their stint in the Great Xia Country’s logistics departnt.
After passing the inspection, they were allowed to disembark from the spacecraft.
