After entering here, the attacks of the mechanical giants have significantly weakened. To be precise, they might be more apprehensive.
Without hesitation, he pushed forward, and upon reaching the building where he first met the Saint, he rushed directly in.
Once inside the building, the scanning light on his body dissipated, and although the sounds of external gunfire were constant, the mechanical giants had stopped attacking him.
Qin Jin focused his gaze forward.
Looking ahead, in this hall, the steel colossus over ten meters high remained, but at this moment, the eyes of its helmet were dim, resembling a giant steel armor.
Just as Qin Jin was observing.
From behind.
The sound of rushing air echoed, and two figures, one after the other, entered the scene simultaneously.
Long Yunâan.
The other was a stranger, a woman.
On the battlefield moments ago, Qin Jin had seen her in action; she was one of the Spiritualists from Lingshu Academy.
Sweeping a glance over the two, Qin Jinâs gaze lingered on the woman: "What should I call you?"
"Shu Yan."
The womanâs voice rang out.
Upon hearing her voice, Qin Jin confirmed that she was indeed the Spiritualist who had communicated with him through Han Miao not long ago.
"Is the Saintâs true form located inside this building?"
Beside him, Long Ruoâan looked around, posing the question, his gaze resting on the steel colossus.
"After the first special battlefield, I once saw the Saint here."
"At that time, it initially relied on this Creation."
Qin Jin pointed to the steel colossus: "Back then, I met it in my capacity as a Purifier with battle merits, logically deducing that its real body should be nearby."
"Leave it to me."
Shu Yanâs voice sounded: "Spiritual Energy will give me the answer."
As her words fell.
Her eyes glowed, and within her pupils a web-like image was reflected.
Qin Jin keenly sensed that a peculiar force around him had been awakened.
Spiritual Energy.
He could perceive the existence of this special force, but when attempting to make faint contact, it deftly evaded, completely out of his reach.
This is the unique feature of a Spiritualist; without the awakening of related talents, one cannot touch Spiritual Energy.
About half a minute later.
The brilliance in Shu Yanâs eyes faded, and she spoke: "Underground!"
"Underground?"
Long Ruoâanâs expression turned serious: "Everyone, act together."
"Thereâs no need to hold back since the goal is destruction."
"Iâll go first."
"Alright."
A response was heard.
Having received the response, Long Ruoâan showed no hesitation. The hall was already spacious. With his right leg, he stomped the ground, propelling his body skyward. At the peak of his ascent, he pivoted, with Primordial Power surging through his fists, his arms swelling, he rapidly plummeted downward.
As he plummeted at high speed, his body spun, like a drill, in an instant, he struck the ground forcefully from above.
Simultaneously.
Qin Jin crossed his hands to form a cannon-like shape, releasing Primordial Power.
Source-Killing Cannon!
On another side.
A Spiritual Energy Beam roared forth.
Following Long Ruoâanâs ground impact, cracks suddenly appeared on the surface, and with a roaring sound, the entire surface collapsed, causing stones to fall downward.
Underneath the ground.
An Energy Light Curtain was revealed.
Bricks and stones fell, and upon touching the curtain, were instantly obliterated.
Unrelenting, Long Ruoâan followed the falling debris, with his fists wrapped in Primordial Power, pounding the curtain.
At the same time, the Source-Killing Cannon and Spiritual Energy Beam struck alongside!
The combined force of the three.
Caused ripples on the curtain, which after a few seconds, shattered like a mirror hitting the ground. Undeterred, Long Ruoâan continued downward, Qin Jin and Shu Yan exchanged a glance, and together they leaped after him.
Amidst a series of dull thuds, the three landed on a metallic floor.
Qin Jin looked ahead.
In the underground space of this industrial area, there was surprisingly a vast space, and ahead, an ultra-large technological server cluster formed a unique building, exuding a science fiction aura, settled here.
In front of this special building, a phantom stood firm.
That is...
The Saint!
Its expression was as ever, looking at the three in front with a gentle voice ringing out.
"You arrived much sooner than I expected."
Qin Jin raised an eyebrow.
He glanced at the server cluster behind him, speaking calmly: "You donât seem prepared to stop us."
"Stop you?"
"No need."
The Saint shook its head, reaching into the void and grasping a key-like special device, which it gently sent floating to Qin Jinâs front.
Its voice was calm: "Your ability to successfully hunt the Divine Son proves that my plan has succeeded."
"My existence is no longer important to me."
The key was caught by Qin Jin, featuring a single red button on the top.
"The key in your hand is the reboot key for the [Artificial IntelligenceâSaint]."
"You can initiate a reboot anytime you wish."
It raised a hand to point at itself: "Everything about me will be formatted, completely erased, and a new Saint will emerge to assist you in rebuilding civilization."
Qin Jin examined the key in his hand.
Beside him.
Long Ruoâan and Shu Yan exchanged a glance, Long Ruoâan spoke solemnly: "What is your plan?"
"My plan huh..."
The Saint smiled gently: "To let Purifiers find their path of evolution through the forge of war."
Its voice was long: "Initially, upon my creation, I was granted the foundational logic to aid Purifiers in their evolution."
