Mothership Restart

In the mountains beyond the horizon Kangning City, a massive mothership sits in an underground base. Its cold, metallic sheen sends shivers down the spine, inspiring awe in all who behold it.

"Reboot... the mothership program?"

Some voices were trembling. Although the purpose of this base was to revolve around the mothership, activating it was of great importance. It was a matter of life and death for the Sun family.

The core members of the Sun family are on duty here year-round. Upon receiving the news, they did not hesitate and immediately implemented the restart plan.

Terrifying sounds emanated, especially from the mothership's main control room. The moment the large screen lit up, various unknown information jumped wildly.

"After its initial recovery, it started sending messages into deep space again, which is terrifying!"

An old man trembled, panicked, and had no idea how things would turn out.

This is certainly not the first time they've restarted the mothership in over a century, hoping to analyze all sorts of cutting-edge technologies. There's nothing more incredible than it.

But each time, they were filled with dread. What might this mothership bring from the unknown End of Deep Space? This was their deepest fear.

Therefore, unless it involves the life or death of the Sun family, they generally will not easily restart the mothership.

The mothership's systems emitted a cold voice, asking them what they needed its help with.

Sun Rongkun, one of the core figures of the Sun family, quickly stated that the supernatural invasion and the arrival of Transcendent Immortals meant that the Sun family of Kangning City was facing a life-or-death crisis.

"Are Transcendent Immortals beings comparable to Innate God-Demon?" The mothership analyzed and instantly informed that conventional energy was sufficient, but alien energy was scarce and insufficient to support the hunting of god-level beings.

It explains that heterogeneous matter is the general term for all Energy Substance related to the extraordinary and divine.

Sun Rongkun was shocked. He had never mentioned the Transcendent Immortals to the mothership before. It turned out that it also had various databases about extraordinary gods and demons. It was really terrifying. What kind of opponents had it faced in the past?

"Is there no way to deal with him?" Sun Rongkun was anxious, fearing that the Sun family's stronghold would be completely destroyed.

"After scanning, we found two relatively weak gods and demons in Kangning City, both of whom had been severely injured..." the mothership system announced.

According to its scan, Zhou Chong and Mr. Ghost are barely considered weakened divine and demonic species, but they are currently in a state of extreme weakness, so the Mech Number Five on the ship can be sent to protect the Sun family.

The mothership contains training mechs and several robot prototypes. It is recommended to activate Mech Number Five, which consumes less alien matter and can barely unlock the second-level ability, which may save the Sun family.

Then, the mothership stopped talking and just kept sending signals, all sorts of undecipherable messages, into the unknown depths of the universe.

The Sun family members felt a chill run down their spines, but they couldn't worry about it anymore. Mech Number Five. Time was of the essence; if they were a step later, the Sun family headquarters might be wiped out.

Mech Number Five is revived. Its Cold Metal Body and smooth lines are full of artistic beauty. It is not particularly tall, only a little over two meters.

It quickly discerned Sun Rongkun's intentions, its eyes flashing intensely before returning to calm, like a somewhat aloof human, as it stepped out of the mothership.

"Don't disturb me unless it's absolutely necessary. I'm going to go into hibernation again," the mothership said, sending out its last message before turning off its screen.

"Is everything alright?" a middle-aged man whispered inside the mothership.

The mothership comes from the moon, beyond the Old Earth.

Back then, five motherships were unearthed and sailed towards the New Star. For more than a hundred years, it has sent mysterious messages many times, but has never received a response from the depths of the universe.

The mothership was very humane; it once said, "The chances are slim; we may never come back."

Zhou Chong grabbed the Silver Bell and retreated rapidly, trying to leave the Sun family temporarily, but his dangerousness in the process was terrifying.

The sword light swept across, and entire sections of the Sun family's buildings collapsed, leaving clean, sharp cuts—the destructive power was immense. Except for the area where the God Slaying Banner was located, which remained relatively calm, the rest of the area suffered heavy casualties.

In an instant, more than fifty members of the Sun family died, including security personnel, domestic workers, collateral relatives, and core high-ranking members.

Various energy cannons and other technological weapons were aimed at Zhou Chong, but the effect was not ideal. Even though the energy cannons scattered his Blood Shadow, it was eventually able to reassemble into a bloody light.

It wasn't that the technological weapons were weak, but rather that his bone was considered an immortal bone, endlessly regenerating, which was truly extraordinary.

Furthermore, this is the Sun family's stronghold, and overly destructive weapons cannot be "unlocked" here; otherwise, a group of high-ranking officials would also perish.

"If the Mothership Restart Plan fails, or it's too late, then let's destroy this place with warships and make the superhumans pay for our deaths!"

The frail old man from the Sun family cried out in heartache and despair, ordering the warships that had already appeared in the sky to prepare for attack.

Thump!

After Zhou Chong's sword light cleared the surrounding buildings, a blinding beam of light descended and struck him, causing his blood to splatter with a "poof" sound, and his Blood Shadow exploded.

This time, he lost some of his blood mist and was unable to fully condense it back. Moreover, some of the charred marks from the lightning strike on that piece of true bone had fallen off.

As he reassembled his Blood Body, he suddenly looked up, and a small warship emitted a beam of focused light that injured him.

"I'll find a place to refine the Soul Locking Bell first. Yuan Hong, be careful and don't get close to the God Slaying Banner. Go to the other secret vault of the Sun family. I sense there are amazing treasures there. Take them all!"

Zhou Chong shouted, glancing coldly at the warship in the sky. Then, his Blood Shadow flashed and he rushed out of the Sun family, not daring to refine the ancient Heavy Artifact too close to the God Slaying Banner.

As soon as he stepped out of the Sun family's house, several beams of light intertwined in the sky and struck down directly, faster than the previous beams of light.

Zhou Chong dodged in the blink of an eye, and the Blood Shadow disappeared into the ground.

In front of the Sun family's house, a terrifying crater appeared, all kinds of soil melted, and nearby buildings were cracked and about to collapse.

"He's been detected underground to his right front!"

Thump!

Another beam of light pierced the ground, penetrating deep underground and unleashing a terrifying burst of light that melted the soil and rocks.

"You've got some nerve, haven't you?" Zhou Chong said coldly, his cultivation level had plummeted, and he had been severely impacted.

Instead of fleeing deeper underground, he rushed directly into the sky, changing direction several times to approach the small warship.

At this moment, he temporarily put away his true bones, abandoned his Blood Shadow form, and threw down the Silver Bell; otherwise, appearing in the sky would have made him an easy target.

Boom!

His Soul Body unleashed a sword light that pierced through the small warship, shocking everyone in the Sun family and causing a violent explosion in the sky.

However, the flying sword that shot up was locked onto by another small warship, struck by a beam of light, and sent flying sideways, its brightness dimmed and the tip of the sword damaged.

Zhou Chong's expression changed.

When!

At the same time, the bell rang, and Mr. Ghost urged the bell to work, racing against time, still trying to refine it.

Zhou Chong turned around and swooped down again, merging with the True Bone once more. His Blood Shadow reappeared as he went to fight for control of the Soul Locking Bell.

At the Sun family's residence, Yuan Hong screamed and fled in a disheveled state. She activated the crimson treasure seal, unleashing a barrage of runes to counter the Dark Light behind her.

She quickly transmitted her voice, saying, "There's a great treasure in the Sun family's secret vault, it's actually... a golden bamboo slip. But there's something strange about it, it seems to have been set up, it's very dangerous, specifically targeting extraordinary individuals, and restraining those whose soul light leaves their bodies!"

"What? Golden Bamboo Slip, the Supreme Scriptures of Daoist Master?" Zhou Chong was shocked, and then he had to sigh. This was truly a bizarre era. How could such a thing appear in a mortal family?

Having lived behind the Great Curtain for many years, how could he not know about this? The person who practiced the Golden Bamboo Slip was incredibly powerful and became the most renowned master.

Moreover, there are rumors that the Golden Bamboo Slip, stone tablet scriptures, and other artifacts are unverifiable and their exact age is unknown.

Even those who ascend to immortality Ascension to Immortality beings desire the Golden Bamboo Slip, hoping to decipher them and find the flaws of the most skilled Daoist Master.

In fact, even after becoming an immortal, the methods recorded on the Golden Bamboo Slip are still suitable for cultivation, and one can continue to practice them in greater depths, which is truly terrifying.

Zhou Chong produced a talisman, which flashed with purple light and fell into the secret vault, suppressing the Dark Light there. Then he produced the broken flying sword and slashed into it.

Boom!

Terrifying sounds emanated from the outer area of that secret vault, accompanied by dazzling runes bursting forth.

"It was arranged by a master. Once an extraordinary power appears, the Netherworld Talisman there will be activated. Who took over this place first?"

Zhou Chong's face showed surprise. The talisman he had summoned was quickly destroyed, which pained him. He didn't have many good items left. Even though he was a follower of the Transcendent Immortals, that person had only managed to teleport out some mediocre artifacts for him using great supernatural powers.

"Is that you?" Zhou Chong looked down at the Silver Bell.

Mr. Ghost exclaimed, "It wasn't me, it was someone else. I've always felt that there's something strange about the Sun family. Someone has taken this place as their own territory, which makes me quite uneasy. I think that a top-level expert among the Transcendent Immortals has his eye on this place and is interfering in the mortal world. This place may become their training ground in the future."

Zhou Chong didn't believe it and said, "Nonsense! Even Transcendent Immortals can't interfere like this out of thin air. Do you have someone behind you? Do you have accomplices?"

At the same time, he returned to the Sun family again, firstly because he had his eye on the Golden Bamboo Slip and was determined to get his hands on it. He felt he would regret it for three lifetimes if he didn't take such a heaven-defying treasure!

Secondly, after he entered the Sun family compound, the warships in the sky dared not launch a devastating attack. Of course, he also exercised restraint and did not attack the Sun family members again this time.

Mr. Ghost said urgently, "I can swear, by the curse oath revered by all cultivators, that it really has nothing to do with me. It must be some other unknown and terrifying being that is behind this."

In the distant sky, Mech Number Five hovers, scanning Zhou Chong, collecting data, and preparing to hunt down gods and demons!

In the hotel, Wang Xuan was deeply moved. The Sun family was nothing but a bunch of strange things, which was alarming and something that had to be taken seriously.

So, does some creature really have its eye on the secret vault and consider it its territory? But why hasn't it come out and remained silent?

Wang Xuan watched quietly, waiting for the situation to become clear. There were some things he had to try to obtain today. If he missed them and they were taken away by the Transcendent Immortals, he would probably never have another chance.
