"Buzzz... buzzz... buzzz..."
At that moment, the entire dark starfield could feel space trembling and humming.
The many experts present immediately understood. No wonder they had chosen such a place to open the gate.
If such terrifying energy fluctuations and spatial disturbances erupted anywhere else that drew attention, they would inevitably attract the notice of other experts.
But this place was different.
There were no life-bearing planets, no vital minerals, and not even the light of nearby stars could reach this place. Only cosmic pirates would build a Star City here.
The radiance flickered continuously. Energy was being consumed at a furious rate, yet immediately replenished.
It took more than four full hours before the light gate finally stabilized completely.
Jiang Shu estimated that the energy consumed would be enough to drain ten Venerables dry, and even that might not sustain it.
"What a lavish undertaking."
Jiang Shu murmured inwardly.
At last, the light gate stabilized.
Yet while its edges shone brilliantly, its interior was incomparably deep and dark, leading to who knew where.
"This gate-opening technology came from an accidental discovery we made back then. Although it contained certain errors, under the joint deduction of our computing power, it should have been fully completed and now conforms to the predetermined logic and expectations."
The Mech Mother responded. At this moment, even Jiang Shu, a member of the Human Race, surprisingly caught a rare trace of exhaustion from a machine.
The next moment, the Insectoid Clan experts turned their gazes toward them. Their leader was likewise a Mother Queen Guard at Peak Venerable level, even somewhat stronger than the Late-stage Venerable who had attacked Jiang Shu last time.
"Human Race side, it is time for you to produce the key and open that gate."
"We understand."
Zhan Jiuxiao nodded slightly
