Chapter 647 - 7: The Third Usage Method

Level Nine artifact, Ansoo’s Shuttle Gate.

This artifact came from a mysterious hooded figure who called themselves "Dawn."

At that time, everyone thought the purpose of the Shuttle Gate was simply to help them solve the aftereffects of Han Zhan being backlashed by Void Origin.

Indeed, they successfully used the Shuttle Gate to teleport Han Zhan to the Moon, completely resolving the problem of the malevolent essence.

But they never thought its use would actually go beyond this?!

"Isn’t the Level Nine artifact the same as the Tier Nine Realm, unable to break through the celestial barrier?"

Shang Siteng countered.

"What if, at its core, it’s not just a Level Nine artifact?" Lin Jingxuan said calmly, looking at the image displayed by the River Map and Luo Book.

His words made the crowd, who were still puzzled, pause their questioning.

Following Lin Jingxuan’s gaze, they looked again carefully at the River Map and Luo Book.

The Shuttle Gate on the River Map and Luo Book was indeed the Shuttle Gate.

However, it seemed somewhat different from the Level Nine Shuttle Gate in their impression.

"It’s the aura." Lin Jingxuan provided the answer, "The Shuttle Gate presented in the River Map and Luo Book exudes an entirely different aura."

Divination is a technical skill.

So is interpreting hexagrams.

Even if the same hexagram is divined, different levels of interpreters can lead to entirely different readings.

Just like this Shuttle Gate, Shang Siteng and others could interpret it, but they didn’t interpret the differences among the Shuttle Gates.

"If you think about it carefully, there’s no problem logically."

The Little Dragon Man Bob nodded slightly and said, "The mysterious hooded figure gifted two artifacts. One of them, the Dusk Chapter, can instantly annihilate the awakened remnant soul of a Primordial True Insect, and its grade is far beyond Level Nine."

"The other artifact, the Shuttle Gate, might also be beyond Level Nine?"

This possibility is very high.

Shang Siteng thought of this and nodded seriously, "Indeed, if everything you say holds, then there’s only one question left."

"How can we elevate the Shuttle Gate to reach the level of stellar crossing, to break through the celestial barrier?"

As she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something, and as she looked up, she happened to lock eyes with Han Zhan.

They both said in unison, "It’s the Dream Stone!"

Exactly, when Dawn handed this artifact to them, they didn’t hesitate to reveal their identity just to explain the usage of these two artifacts.

The Shuttle Gate needs to be imbued with Dream Stone to activate it.

This setup, at first glance, seems fine.

But if we think deeper, could it be that Dawn was hinting at them to invest a lot of Dream Stones into the Shuttle Gate from the very beginning?

If they did this, what would happen?

Could it be—unlocking the final form of the Shuttle Gate!

As they deduced this conclusion, the four people participating in this meeting all breathed a sigh of relief.

Being able to find a solution meant that this meeting wasn’t held in vain.

"There’s no time to lose, let’s set off now."

Han Zhan greeted everyone and exited the virtual meeting.

He and Shang Siteng were already at home, and the Shuttle Gate was also nearby.

Soon, they brought the Shuttle Gate to Julu Pass’s training field.

The Shuttle Gate was taken out and placed on the ground.

The Shuttle Gate stood two meters high, and from its aura, it indeed seemed completely different from what Lin Jingxuan saw in the River Map and Luo Book.

In a moment, Lin Jingxuan and Bob also appeared in the field.

"Let’s begin." Han Zhan nodded toward Shang Siteng.

The Dream Stone is so rare that it almost doesn’t exist on Blue Star, but this doesn’t pose a problem for Shang Siteng.

With her Heaven’s Origin Talent, as long as she analyzes the Dream Stone, she can create it out of thin air using the Nuwa Stone.

Han Zhan and she jointly acted, using Heaven’s Origin with full force, condensing one Dream Stone after another.

When the Dream Stones are fed into the Shuttle Gate, the gate will emit a bright silver light, simultaneously opening to reveal a swirling world of light and shadow.

At this moment, simply saying where you wish to go will transport you through the Shuttle Gate.

However, when Han Zhan attempted to say "Toptrous," the Shuttle Gate showed no response.

"It seems that in its current state, the Shuttle Gate truly cannot support interstellar transport."

"Let’s continue."

After Han Zhan finished speaking, he and Shang Siteng got busy again.

With the Void Origin present, consuming continuously, even though Dream Stones are extremely rare, they are produced in bulk as if wholesale.

The Shuttle Gate was beginning to get overwhelmed.

Perhaps, ever since it was created, it never consumed so many Dream Stones at once.

To the point that its originally plain door frame was beginning to get tinged with the unique bright silver color of the Dream Stones.

As more and more Dream Stones were consumed, the bright silver gradually covered the entire door frame, a process whose duration was unknown.

Finally.

When Han Zhan threw a super-large Dream Stone into the Shuttle Gate.

The gate suddenly closed on its own.

This abrupt change left the four who were eagerly looking around stunned.

Soon, the silver light on the door frame began to converge toward the center of the door.

More and more silver light gradually illuminated the center of the door.

From a single point of silver, it slowly expanded into a huge, dreamy silver vortex!

This was evidently the third usage mode of the Shuttle Gate!

"One at a time." At this moment, a somewhat lazy voice suddenly came from the silver vortex.

It seemed like it was yawning as it uttered those words.

"State your destination."

"Hurry up." It urged impatiently.

Encountering this situation for the first time, Han Zhan and the group were taken aback. Under the urging of the Shuttle Gate, Han Zhan stepped forward.

He attempted to say the word he acquired from the end of time: "Toptrous!"

Then came a long silence.

Silence from Han Zhan’s group of four, and silence from the turning silver vortex of the Shuttle Gate.

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward.

"Could it be...the images in the hexagram aren’t what we analyzed them to be?"

"It makes no sense; wasn’t the third usage mode of the Shuttle Gate activated?"

"Then why is there no reaction at all?"

Amidst the group’s heated discussion, the lazy voice yawned again, resounding once more:

"Wrong."

"It’s—Topstros—"

It seemed to curl its tongue and drag a long drawl.

But undeniably, its pronunciation was indeed closer to what Han Zhan had heard at the Bronze Long Table.

Then, suddenly, the Shuttle Gate with its spinning silver vortex erupted in black and red light.

Strands of deep black lightning flashed across the center of the vortex, as if revealing glimpses of the world beyond the gate.

"Our time is running out."

The voice flashed in Han Zhan’s mind again, and his eyes became determined.

"Then let’s set off!"
