Chapter 396 The Holy Altars Across the Entire Territory Are Ignited! Harvesting Accelerates
"All the altars within the territory have been set on fire."
Three enormous heretics knelt outside the crevice.
The next second, all the screens at the bottom of the sky simultaneously turned red.
A row of new windows appeared on Bai Zhi's side.
【warn! 】
[Power supply link connection in progress...]
[Power source: Unknown]
[The World Engine's underlying interface has been passively activated...]
[Countdown in progress...]
Just as Shen Hou was about to curse, the scarlet countdown on the screen suddenly jumped.
【167:12:44】
【166:58:03】
【166:41:19】
"Holy shit!"
Shenhou couldn't hold back any longer.
"It can fast forward?!"
Bai Zhi's voice was strained, and her fingers were tapping so hard they were almost invisible.
"It's not a countdown fast forward."
"The energy generated before the harvest has been replenished."
"The altar is powering the world's engine!"
Chen Yifan looked up at the main screen.
The blue star projection unfolds.
One by one, dark green dots lit up on the map.
The border of the Dragon Kingdom.
Northern wasteland.
The South Pacific Rift Valley.
The old battlefield of the Western Continent.
Deep polar ice caps.
Submarine fissure zone.
Hundreds of points of light formed a network, all pointing towards the deepest part of the blue planet.
World Engine.
Zishu stood at the edge of the formation, a short spear hanging in his hand, his voice hoarse.
"These dots... are too neat."
Shenhou cursed.
"Neat my ass, it looks like a dead man lighting a lamp."
Bai Zhi zoomed in on one of the coordinates, and the old array eye number popped up on the screen.
Her fingers paused for a beat.
"wrong."
Chen Yifan immediately took over.
"What's wrong?"
"The underlying structure of these altars was not temporarily erected by the Holy Church."
Bai Zhi stacked several waveforms together.
"Their compatibility with the World Engine interface is ridiculously high."
"The underlying protocols can be directly interlocked."
The voice of the Rabbit came in from the public channel.
"To conclude."
Bai Zhi enunciates very quickly.
"They are closer to the wells that served as the source of civilization in the previous era."
"The Holy Church simply converted the diversion well into a sacred altar."
Shenhou's face turned black upon hearing this.
Speak like a human.
Chen Yifan looked at the dark green dots and his voice deepened.
"This thing originally came from the farm's water pipes."
There was a brief silence on the channel.
Chenlong lay on the ground, his fingers digging into the metal plate.
He stared at the dots of light on the screen, and squeezed out a few words.
"Was it like this in the previous era too?"
No one answered him.
Outside the crack, the Holy Lord chuckled softly.
"You've finally understood a little bit."
"The farm does not need to re-lay pipes every season."
"The old well is buried underground. We can open it when the crops are ripe."
Shenhou swung his broken stick and smashed a polluted thread that was rushing towards him.
"Shut up."
"The watchdog is quite good at giving agricultural lessons."
The Holy Lord ignored him.
The three colossal heretics slowly rose to their feet.
Dark green lines lit up in their chest cavities.
Those patterns and the altar lights on the Blue Star map pulsed in sync.
Bai Zhi immediately shouted it out.
"Three colossal heretics are receiving energy from the altar!"
"They are not ordinary heretics!"
"There is a complete thorax within the chest cavity!"
The voice just fell.
The first outsider collided with the old blockade layer.
boom!
The gray-blue dragon pattern under Wang Qingyun's palm suddenly collapsed.
He swayed slightly, and the cigarette between his fingers had burned down to his fingertips.
Shenhou's expression changed.
"Old Captain!"
Wang Qingyun did not turn around.
"Hold your position."
The second heretic raised his giant arm and rammed down again.
The gray-blue veins were cracked and riddled with tiny fissures.
Bai Zhi's voice changed from anxiety.
"The stability rate within the inner circle of the lockdown layer has dropped to 39%!"
"Keep crashing, the inner ring will break!"
Shenhou charged forward, dragging the broken stick.
"Don't let the old captain be the only hero!"
He had just reached the safety line when the third heretical bone hammer came crashing down.
Shenhou raised his stick to meet the attack head-on.
boom!
The broken stick was bent into an arc shape.
He was so crushed that one knee slammed to the ground, and blood immediately seeped from his shoulder.
"It's fucking heavy!"
Chen Yifan took a step forward, his right hand ring burning hot.
All things steal and lock onto the chest of the first giant heretic.
Regular nodes can be dragged directly.
This time it won't work.
The moment his thieving power penetrated, it was seized by the entire altar's energy circuit, which poured contamination back into his arm.
The veins on the back of Chen Yifan's hand bulged.
The golden pagoda rotated within the body, crushing the pollution that rushed in.
"White Gardenia".
"Look at the third ring on its chest."
The white gardenia was immediately magnified.
"I saw it!"
"That's not a node, that's the power supply network!"
"It's connected to the Blue Star Altar!"
Chen Yifan gritted his teeth and pulled back with his five fingers.
"Then it will be worth even more."
hum!
He forcibly tore the first dark green energy supply line out of the giant external tract's chest cavity.
The heretic knelt on the ground and roared, a large amount of black blood gushing from his chest.
Chen Yifan didn't keep it; he tossed it to Bai Zhi instead.
"Analysis".
Sparks flew from the cables next to Bai Zhi's remote projection.
She ripped off the burnt connector and connected it directly to the spare manual bus.
Give me ten seconds!
Shenhou cursed loudly, his head swung at the bone hammer.
"Ten seconds? Ask this thing if it agrees!"
The rat raises its gun.
The dark green patterns on the gun barrel had faded considerably.
He didn't shoot randomly.
The moment the second heretic lifted his leg and stepped over the edge of the crack, exposing his knee joint, he pulled the trigger.
boom!
The dark green bullet penetrated the joint space.
The second outsider's knee twisted, and the impact was off by half a foot.
Wang Qingyun seized the opportunity and pressed forward with the gray-blue dragon pattern on his palm.
The sealing layer pushed back half an inch.
The mouse gasped for breath.
"We can still stall."
Shenhou turned his head and shouted, "How many rounds do you have left in that gun?"
The rat looked down.
"Out of bullets."
Shenhou was dumbfounded.
"What did you just hit?"
Zishu disassembled the stock and took out the last old-fashioned firing pin.
"It was disassembled and repaired."
Shenhou held back for a long time.
"Well, you review district really know how to manage your finances."
Chen Yifan didn't have time to listen to their bickering.
He fixed his gaze on the second colossal outer path.
The theft of all things has begun again.
This time, the Holy Lord was prepared.
The second heretic's chest cavity suddenly split into twelve segments, interlocking with each other like locks.
As soon as Chen Yifan moved one section, the other eleven sections simultaneously emitted a backflow of pollution.
The Holy Lord spoke through the crack.
"Using the same trick too often gets boring."
Chen Yifan's arm jerked, and the contamination crept up his fingertips.
He did not let go.
"You teach very quickly."
"Unfortunately, the students aren't smart enough."
He slammed his left hand down in mid-air.
The external path's inner palace unfolds.
The purple-gold spiritual power suppressed the pulsating rhythm of the twelve circuits.
The next second, he stopped removing the brightest section.
He stole the "synchronization" between the twelve loops.
All twelve loops are experiencing frequency malfunctions simultaneously.
The second heretic's chest exploded.
Chen Yifan tore out a second power supply line from it.
"White Gardenia".
"Article Two."
Bai Zhi has already pushed the first waveform into the model.
"Received!"
"Start reverse-engineering the coordinates!"
"There are seven sacred altars within the Dragon Kingdom... no, eight!"
The Rabbit immediately took over.
"Report your location."
"An old underground formation's core in Kyoto."
"One abandoned mining area in the Northwest."
"A deep section of the East China Sea naval port."
"One section of the defense line through the fissures in southern Xinjiang."
Bai Zhi suddenly stopped speaking at this point.
Chen Yifan's fingers tightened.
"continue."
"There's another place...below the sky."
Shenhou immediately turned his head away.
"Do we have them under our feet too?"
Bai Zhi gritted her teeth.
"Not the bottom of the sky."
"Deeper."
"Near the World Engine Extension Interface."
Wang Qingyun spoke in a low voice.
"Don't worry about what's under your feet."
"If the front line breaks, no one can get down."
Chen Yifan looked at the third giant outsider.
The thing didn't rush to crash.
It raised its arms, its chest cavity fully opened, inside which was a miniature dark green altar.
Bai Zhi's voice turned somber.
"The third one is a mobile altar."
"It's repairing the chains on the first two statues."
Shenhou understood.
"Should we attack the healer first?"
Chen Yifan raised his hand.
"You did a good job summarizing this time."
Shenhou wiped the blood from his face.
"Nonsense, I've played games too."
He dragged his bent, broken staff and charged toward the third heretic.
The altar inside the third heretic's chest lit up, and more than a dozen dark green chains shot towards Shenhou.
The Monkey cannot avoid it.
He simply held the broken stick horizontally in front of him and forced his way forward.
The chains lashed his shoulders, chest, and arms, causing lines of blood to burst open.
"Chen Yifan!"
"I've stopped you!"
Chen Yifan traveled through the void.
The spatial turbulence tore at his ears, causing him to deviate three meters from his landing point.
But that's enough.
He appeared beside the third heretic, his right hand pressing directly into the edge of the shrunken altar.
The Holy Lord's voice faded.
"You dare touch the core of the altar?"
Chen Yifan replied crisply.
"You've practically offered it to my face, it would be impolite of me not to touch it."
Steal everything!
This time, he didn't steal the veins.
He directly stole the "energy supply qualification" between the altar and the physical body of the heretic.
The third heretic froze completely.
The shrunken altar inside his chest lost its support and began to tremble violently.
Bai Zhi screamed.
"Don't pull it!"
"It'll explode!"
Chen Yifan dug his fingers into the dark green veins and forcefully peeled off a core symbol.
The moment the symbol left, the shrinking altar went silent.
The third giant heretic kneels down.
Shenhou struck its chin with a stick.
"Kneel properly!"
Chen Yifan threw the core symbol at Bai Zhi.
Is this enough?
Bai Zhi paused for half a second.
The next moment, all the dark green dots on the screen began to be relabeled.
"That's enough!"
"The core symbols have completed the last piece of the protocol."
"The altar coordinate model is complete!"
"It can reverse-engineer all diversion wells!"
The Rabbit immediately gave the order.
"All zodiac animal sequences, heed my command!"
"The main battlefield will be taken over by me, Shenhou, Zishu, and Yanlong."
"Guardian units in all regions must immediately confirm the coordinates of the altar, prioritize its sealing, and prohibit unauthorized approach."
"Chen Yifan, Bai Zhi."
"You are responsible for tracking down and destroying the energy supply chain."
Shen Hou had just smashed the third heretic to the ground when he heard this and immediately objected.
"Why should I stay?"
"Dismantling the altar sounds more interesting than getting beaten up!"
Chen Yifan raised his hand and tossed two remaining nodes to him.
"You have a foul mouth, perfect for stirring up trouble."
Shenhou was stunned for a moment, then laughed and cursed.
"You're pretty good at assigning people these days."
Chen Yifan pointed to the Holy Lord outside the crack.
"If you scold him a couple of times, his face will look even worse than if I had stolen from him."
Shenhou picked up the broken stick, turned around, and shouted into the crack.
"Did you hear that? Headless patrol!"
"Grandpa will stay and chat with you!"
The Holy Lord raised his hand.
The heretical sects outside the crack rose up again, pressing in like a tidal wave.
The gray-blue dragon pattern on Wang Qingyun's palm was still supporting the inner circle.
Zishu put on the short sword he had taken from Heijia and stood on the other side of the formation base.
One order after another came from the Rabbit's side.
"The east gate is manually locked."
"Old energy wells, three people per shift."
"Manual calibration of the array base is not allowed; system access is prohibited."
Shenhou, carrying a broken stick, blocked the crack.
Zishu removed the last section of the metal tube from the short gun and inserted it into the handle of the knife.
Wang Qingyun pressed against the sealed layer, the cigarette butt between his fingers already burning his skin.
Chen Yifan looked away.
"Bai Zhi, give me the nearest entrance to the altar."
Bai Zhi tossed the coordinates in front of him.
"The nearest one is the old utility tunnel on the third floor below the dome."
"But that place has been sealed off by pollution."
"I can't open the door for you."
Chen Yifan moved his fingers, which were stained and blackened.
"Doors don't necessarily have to be opened."
Just as he was about to set off, Bai Zhi suddenly sent an urgent message.
"etc."
Chen Yifan stopped in his tracks.
"What's wrong now?"
Bai Zhi pulled the altar model to its maximum size.
Beyond the hundreds of bright spots, at the very center of the map, there is an unnumbered gray hole.
It has no energy fluctuations.
All the altar energy chains bypassed that area.
Bai Zhi lowered her voice.
"An extra point has been added to the coordinate model."
"The system does not recognize it."
"It has no number."
The Rabbit immediately took over.
"Location."
Bai Zhi paused for two seconds.
"Jiangcheng".
Chen Yifan's fingers tightened suddenly.
Bai Zhi continued speaking.
"More accurate."
"Underground of Ping'an Street Police Station in the old town of Jiangcheng."
For the first time, Wang Qingyun's hand, which was resting on the sealed layer, stopped.
Chen Yifan turned to look at him.
Wang Qingyun, his voice hoarse, held a nearly burnt-out cigarette between his fingers.
Don't look at me.
"I'm just a police officer at the Extraordinary Things Management Center, not a police officer at the local police station!"
