Chapter 1007: Chapter 518: Arrival at the Arena? (Part 2)

Li Ming frowned, listening as the Observer explained, “The War Titans, belong to one of the Titan races, and one of their hobbies is to raise advanced Star Beasts and enjoy watching them slaughter each other.”

“What you mentioned as the interstitial space should be what they call the ‘Arena’, a place cut from dimension space, not a common artificial space, with extremely high stability and concealment.”

“Arena…” Li Ming muttered involuntarily, do the Titans really find this entertaining?

“The concealment method of this interstitial space is very special…” the Observer said, “But the Arena wasn’t really a secret during the Titan Era, it was even considered common knowledge, and it’s not difficult to find if you look for it.”

“You didn’t let me down.” Li Ming couldn’t help but grin.

“But…” the Observer emphasized, “The defense of such an arena is also very strong, as it imprisons advanced Star Beasts, and it’s generally very difficult to open.”

“Oh?” Li Ming’s eyes slightly moved, Gutierrez had also emphasized this matter.

“You better give me the way to find the interstitial space first.” He pondered.

The Observer’s fingertips surged with a tide of data, which then condensed into a virtual hard drive and landed in Li Ming’s hand.

“This is a communication device that resonates with the Arena.”

Li Ming raised an eyebrow and immediately prepared to log off.

But was stopped by the Observer, “Wait…”

After a brief hesitation, he flung his hand and manifested a hexagonal golden badge, which was not virtual but physical.

“What’s this?” Li Ming took it, his face slightly moving —

[King’s Validation–Special: Proof of winning the same level King’s Trial, also a symbol.

Control Conditions: Ten million metal energy

Control Ability–Identity Symbol: Any Titan who sees you will understand your identity.]

Title? Li Ming couldn’t help but be surprised, the Observer’s expression was different, “I forgot to give you this before.”

Li Ming inwardly scoffed, he had already passed the same level trial a long time ago, this was clearly kept hidden on purpose.

But he didn’t expose it, and just logged off; after opening his eyes, he also found a virtual hard drive floating in his hand, immediately summoning the Vermilion Bird for information transfer and parsing.

“So simple?”

He was somewhat surprised looking at the virtual blueprint in front of him, it was a type of output communication device, with very complex frequencies.

But the manufacturing method was very simple, Li Ming could even directly create it using the [Mechanical Hand], and its level wasn’t even A Level.

In front of him, various materials melted and intertwined, and soon, a uniquely shaped communicator was produced —

[Titan Joint Communicator–B Level: Unique frequency resonance device.

…

Control Ability–Resonance: Distribute a unique frequency on a large scale, resonating with specific items.]

“Tsk…” Li Ming thought about what Gutierrez had said, “Extremely secretive… undetectable…”

After adjusting the course, they soon jumped to the Desolate Anchor Star Gate Node.

The scale of this Star Gate Node was not large, but it was located near the Desolate Channel.

The Desolate Channel was originally an important channel for the Federation and the Sea of Stars.

However, about eighty thousand years ago, after a long period of strife, and under the oppression of the Empire and the Federation, the strongest civilizations decided to form the Star Alliance.

Of course, the Federation and the Empire did not want to see the birth of the Star Alliance, so they exerted great efforts to block it.

Both sides fought over this for more than three thousand years, and this originally prosperous channel became disrupted due to multiple wars and the application of various large-scale weapons, making normal navigation nearly impossible.

However, during the war, many cargo ships went into dormancy.

In comparison to the Red River Star Stream, the risk in the Desolate Channel was very low, making it a favorite place for many novice explorers.

However, every discovered wreck meant one less to find, and over the years, it gradually declined, though it hadn’t reached a level of being completely deserted.

Therefore, Li Ming and his ship did not stand out at this Star Gate Node.

After disembarking and making arrangements, Li Ming bought a small spaceship equipped with various navigation devices tailored for the Desolate Channel and entered the channel.

This trip lasted over three months, unlike the Red River Star Stream, with few remarkable events along the way.

For more than half the time, he navigated through the tedious jump tracks, and sometimes had to switch to conventional propulsion when encountering magnetic storm groups.

There were no magnificent cosmic spectacles, only an endless barren starry sky.

Li Ming was continuously developing his Gene Progress, so he did not find it boring, although the signals began to become unstable as he ventured further.

Sometimes it was difficult to contact the outside world for two or three days.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

One day, the Vermilion Bird, which had long taken control of the spaceship, suddenly reminded, “Master, we have reached the destined location.”

The spaceship fell out of the jump track, and in the narrow space, Li Ming, who was developing the Genetic Seed, suddenly opened his eyes and exhaled deeply, “Finally here.”

He did not leave the spaceship immediately; there was still quite a distance to the coordinates given by Gutierrez.

He stopped here to avoid falling directly into a trap.

Although the Star Alliance likely wouldn’t be that foolish now, he nonetheless took precautions.

After some adjustments, he parked the spaceship here.

Then, flying solo to the destination took another two or three days before reaching the actual target area.

According to Gutierrez, the Star Alliance had already given up exploring this coordinate due to the disproportionate cost and gain.

After spending a few days wandering around, finding no trace of other life forms, Li Ming felt slightly relieved.

He held the uniquely shaped communicator in his hand.

After activating it, a wave imperceptible to regular life forms began to spread outwards.

To ensure efficiency, Li Ming even upgraded it from B Level to A Level.

This area was quite vast, and spreading the frequencies would take a significant amount of time.

However, the Observer wasn’t deceiving him, three days later, Li Ming followed the wave to a silent void.

Initially, only faint ripples were spreading, seemingly weak, but as the ripples expanded, the void began to undulate like water.

Soon, a silver door gradually emerged from the depths, standing tall in the starfield.

“Only this one door?”

Li Ming was rather surprised, looking around, he found nothing behind, nor any other measures.

Compared to the Titan-related items he had seen before, this door was quite simple.

He hesitated, then reached out his hand, his eyes suddenly shining.

It was actually metal, which surprised him.

He then realized that the high-intensity defense the Observer talked about was precisely this metallic door.

A door for confining pets indeed didn’t need to be complex, only strong enough.

He couldn’t help but grin, this was his comfort zone.

He immediately began to absorb the metal energy.

The metal materials used for this door were quite remarkable, with an absorption rate second only to that of the metal block found in the Holy Spirit Civilization Ruins.

After spending some time, Li Ming absorbed most of the door, leaving the frame intact to prevent a collapse.

The center of the door led to another space, gray and foggy, filled with unsettling gray mist, with shattered space fissures vaguely visible in the distance, and irregular surfaces suspended in mid-air.

“Why is it gray mist again…” Li Ming frowned, instinctively thinking of the Eternal Abyss.

After hesitating for a moment, he sent in a few expendable mechanical bodies, which stepped in and scattered in different directions.

The gray mist seemed not to originate from the Eternal Abyss and displayed no corrosive properties.

After more than half an hour, the expendable mechanical bodies safely returned with collected video data.

He summarized and reviewed it, finding no Star Beasts, only a barren space.

“Tsk…” Li Ming couldn’t help but frown, looking up and hesitating briefly, stepped inside.
