But these two items before me, as well as the Information Fragments attached to them,

Gave Tang Qi an illusion as if he had returned to his previous life, experiencing the feeling of a subpar sci-fi game.

It was at this moment, as Tang Qi was getting used to the shift in style,

That a terrible, intense premonition of danger suddenly emerged.

Tang Qi almost immediately raised his head, looking towards the distant horizon, his gaze sweeping over palaces, fortresses, massive engines, towering tunnels... at the end, there was an extremely deep and vast rift, cutting through a large area, extending and connecting with other rifts.

Originally, everything here was silent, including those rifts.

But in this second, everyone felt the ground shake beneath their feet.

As their faces changed, a slight tremor, despite the vast distance, was transmitted over.

Boom!

It happened - streaks of blood-red light beams burst forth from those rifts in the blink of an eye, instantly connecting together to form a light screen, contracting towards the center.

When this scene of the light screen touching physical objects occurred, most Transcendents who had entered these Ruins showed a drastic change in complexion.

Tang Qi wasn't far away; he watched as a collapsing palace, marked by the scars of time and engraved with mysterious symbols and textures, faintly displaying the portraits of Divines, some suggesting outlines of war murals.

This charming building, after being swept by the light screen, vanished.

It was like a scene that would only occur in the Magic World, where the enormous palace turned to ash in the blink of an eye, scattering down. Following that, those seemingly more formidable black fortresses, tunnels, engines... everything on the ground was disappearing.

Tang Qi remained still, his pupils slightly contracted, focusing intently on the light screen.

Special images, rapidly forming.

[Curio: Original Force Cutting.]

[State: Activating.]

[Information Fragment One: Due to the excessive number of Transcendents who have descended into the ruins, the War Planet's ultimate defense has been triggered, automatically entering a mutual destruction mode... Escape mechanisms exist throughout the planet, but all devices cannot be activated by non-Pla Clan members.]

[Information Fragment Two: Original Force Cutting will indiscriminately kill any target, its limit being 'Legendary Level' Transcendents or corresponding Level Curios.]

[Information Fragment Three: The first phase will last five minutes.]

As these Information Fragments popped up, Tang Qi's expression subtly changed.

At the same time, the voice of "Barton Bird" came through.

"Members of the Holy Eagle Nest Society, there's been a slight change in plans, with an increase in the danger level of the ruins. It's up to you to choose whether to stay or go. You have a few minutes to consider, before 'Original Force Cutting' enters its second phase, your badges will no longer allow you to leave here smoothly."

"May the Divine Eagle protect you!"

The last four words gradually faded, indicating that this Undying Pioneer was moving away.

His words clearly conveyed the meaning: the danger level of this vast relic known as "War Planet" was surging.

If the member's combat power was not strong, or they had concerns, they could use the 'Holy Eagle Nest Badge' to leave here.

"The Holy Eagle Nest Badge possesses teleportation capabilities, but each member only has a one-time use, and it's not free - once used, a hefty price must be paid upon return."

"Whether new members or veterans, there are no exemptions."

While Tang Qi mused, he directly looked at the two Curios on his short hand.

Driven by instinct, without hesitation, Tang Qi tossed them behind him, whereupon a bright red tongue immediately emerged from his backpack, wrapping around the Crystal and syringe, and swallowed them.

After another glance at the seemingly slow but actually swiftly sweeping "Original Force Cutting," Tang Qi turned and darted deeper into the ruins.

His figure had just shot out a distance when he suddenly stopped.

Around Tang Qi, there were three platforms.

On the one to the left, a "Black Water Drop" shaped vessel lay quietly, its cockpit seat half-reclined with a withered corpse inside, similar in form to a Human. It should have been used by its former pilot to escape, but sadly, before activation, a spear pierced the pilot's chest.

On the spear, Tang Qi saw a familiar emblem, belonging to the Bright Church.

With a slight epiphany, Tang Qi then looked towards the other two platforms which should have been equipped with "Protection Shields".

On one particularly close to the vessel, starkly stood a horrific, monster-like weapon.

It had a pitch-black, sturdy base, complex circuitry, and that daunting, magic-symbol covered muzzle was enough to send shivers down one's spine.

"Curio: Warforce Cannon, if charged for a sufficient amount of time, it can kill a 'Legendary Level' Transcendent in a sneak attack... Damaged!"

The last three words made Tang Qi feel some heaviness in his chest.

"If this cannon could be moved to the Witch School and placed atop Dragon Heart Castle..."

The splendid imagination shattered in an instant.

But Tang Qi was not at all discouraged, as he had come to a realization at this moment.

"This so-called 'Pla Clan' is essentially a war-oriented species, and although they have perished, the wealth they left behind is considerable. The Twelve Saints may not care, but I cannot afford to miss out."

After murmuring this in his heart, Tang Qi reached out to take a "Crystal" and "Syringe" from another platform.

As if to prove his premonition, after speeding up again, he soon had to stop.

In front of him was another platform, surrounded by at least several different corpses.

Unfortunately, after a glance, Tang Qi continued forward.

The cannon and the flying devices... still damaged.

In the time to follow, on that dark, desolate land full of ruins, the "Original Force Cutting," seemingly condensed purely from blood light, slowly advanced, turning everything in its path, living or otherwise, into dust.

Those Transcendents that had fallen from the sky, although unable to perceive the Information Fragments of the Original Force Cutting like Tang Qi could,

Their sense of danger was not lacking.

They turned into streaks of light, fleeing deeper into the depths.

In the process, many Transcendents chose to leave the area.

Clearly, not only the Holy Eagle Nest Society cared for its members; other organizations would not let their members sacrifice unreasonably either.

However, the majority stayed, and soon, they too discovered the benefits.

This place was once a battlefield, especially since it was a confluence of the intellectual crystallization and the plunder of a War Race.

Although the Pla Clan has been completely annihilated and the battlefield was presumably scavenged by the Twelve Saints, what the Saints deemed unworthy was still of high-level curios to most Transcendents.

The Transcendents, while collectively avoiding the Original Force Cutting, also began to collect curios all around.

Among them, the most efficient was a "Yellow Lightning."

...

Deeper into the Ruins, streaks of light from various directions shot over, revealing a massive number of Transcendents.

Judging by their attire, bodies, and auras, there were Bright Knights from churches, official agents, heavily concealed members of Mysterious Organizations, and a large number of Evil God believers, most of whom had lost their human bodies and shamelessly displayed corruption and stench.

However, at this moment, everyone tacitly abandoned combat.

All eyes turned towards the massive crack that had suddenly appeared in front of them.

Down in the abyss, there was no sign of the "Original Force Cutting" bursting forth.

On the contrary, in the center of the crack, a large number of silver-white circular metal flakes floated, emitting a faint ghost light and stably suspended in the void.

Looking behind at the Original Force Cutting fast approaching them.

Several Transcendents quickly used "Puppets" to probe and successfully reached the other side.

In the next instant, these Transcendents moved at once, stepping on the metal flakes and descending upon the land on the other side of the crack.

For added safety, they ventured in a bit deeper.

Only then did they have the leisure to look at the other Transcendents, who, despite being distant from one another, still formed three major camps, viewing each other warily and with hostility.

However, before the outbreak of war and slaughter, to ensure safety,

The Transcendents from the three major camps simultaneously turned to the rapidly approaching "Original Force Cutting" that was about to reach the crack.

So at this second, reflected in their eyes was the same scene:

The horrifying Original Force Cutting advancing quickly, with a lightning-fast figure moving ahead, displaying tremendous speed that could easily escape the Light Screen's threat, but the "Yellow Lightning" moved in a zigzagging path, staying at various places, greedily tossing some "Curios" into its backpack.

As it moved forward, it hummed a joyful tune, faintly carrying over.
