Chapter 735 Mother Planet
Yun drove Sapphiron and circled over Icecrown Citadel for several times. In the game, the entrance to the Soul Forge was located next to Icecrown Citadel, but Yun knew very well that if this entrance really existed, Kel'Thuzad would have discovered it long ago. Despite this, Yun still held a glimmer of hope, hoping to find some clues here.
However, after a careful search, Yun was disappointed to find that there was no trace of anything here. Not only that, some of the Easter eggs he had found in the game before, such as the strange child in the area below Icecrown Citadel, were also now empty. This was just a simple bunker built around the Frozen Throne, which was a far cry from the magnificent building covered with Saronite in the game.
Since he couldn't enter from here, Yun decided to return to the previous treasure house. He knew nothing about the underground situation and was full of curiosity. He had to see with his own eyes what those star energy extractors looked like.
Rhett was a little surprised about Yun's coming back, but Yun didn't have time to say anything and went straight to the depths of the treasure house.
"Lord Yun, you seem to be worried about something. Is there something important?" Rhett noticed that Yun's expression had changed significantly. He couldn't help feeling nervous and asked quickly.
Yun shook his head and tried to make his tone sound more relaxed: "It's no big deal, just continue with your work." However, he knew very well in his heart that this matter was not something they could solve easily. Even for Lei Te and Fang Zhou now, it would be difficult for them to reach the place where the star energy extractor was located.
Lei Te was obviously not reassured, and he continued to ask: "Then... do you need our help to do something?"
Yun shook his head again and replied with a smile: "No, you just need to focus on the work at hand." After that, he turned and walked towards the innermost door of the treasure house.
"Lord Yun, we tried this door before, but we couldn't open it no matter what." Lei Te pointed at the door and said helplessly.
Yun did not respond to Leiter's words. He silently took out the Ashbringer from his arms. With a little force, the Ashbringer was inserted into the door as easily as inserting tofu. Then, just like when Yun opened the central door before, he exerted force on his wrist, and the Ashbringer instantly dug a huge hole in the door. The darkness behind the door was like a ferocious beast, opening its dark mouth.
"This..." Leiter couldn't help but take a breath, and the shock in his heart was beyond words. He stared at the big hole that Yun had easily cut open with his eyes wide open. Before, they had always been puzzled about the big hole in the middle of the central gate. Although the explosion was extremely violent at that time, they all took it for granted that it was the impact of the explosion that smashed a sharp object into the gate, causing the hole. However, now that he saw Yun so easily cut open the gate that they were helpless against, Leiter suddenly realized that all this was actually done by Yun.
"It's very dangerous down there, so you'd better not go there." After leaving these words, Yun dived into the dark cave without hesitation and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Where's Yun?" At this moment, Fang Zhou hurried over. He had obviously received the news of Yun's arrival. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was shocked and asked in disbelief, "Where did he go?"
"Inside." Rhett came back to his senses, pointed at the dark hole, and answered with a slightly trembling voice.
"Got in?" Fang Zhou frowned, his face full of suspicion, "Did Yun make this hole? What did he do in there? What do you need us to do?" He blurted out a series of questions like a machine gun, and it was obvious that he was very puzzled by Yun's behavior.
"Yes, Yun did it." Lei Te nodded, his eyes still fixed on the dark hole, as if he could see Yun's figure through it. "He said it was dangerous inside and told us to ignore him."
"Ah? Then we will just ignore everything?" Fang Zhou looked at Rhett in astonishment, his face full of worry.
Lei Te took a deep breath and said slowly: "I think Yun's help to us may be incidental. His real purpose may have been here from the beginning. Moreover, we have all seen Yun's strength with our own eyes. He said there is danger. If we go, I am afraid that we will not only be unable to help, but will also cause trouble for him."
As he spoke, Rhett stretched out his finger and pointed at the dark and deep cave entrance, as if there were endless dangers and unknowns hidden there.
Fang Zhou's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end. He knew very well that Lei Te was right. With their current strength, they really couldn't provide any substantial help to Yun.
After a moment of silence, Fang Zhou finally made up his mind and told the people around him, "Leave some people here to guard. Once Yun comes out of the cave, notify us immediately."
Yun also walked forward in the dark, and it was pitch black all around, as if there was no end. However, despite the darkness, Yun was able to clearly identify the road, which made him feel a little strange. After all, he had been here before, and Ragnaros and the Titan creation had also visited this place, but there was no change along the way, and it was even difficult to detect any signs of someone having been here.
Although he was full of doubts, Yun did not stop. He continued to walk towards the bottom firmly. Finally, he arrived at this extremely wide underground world. At a glance, he could only see three extremely large star energy extractors. They were like three huge mountains, standing in the darkness. The star energy extractors in the distance were beyond Yun's field of vision and could not be seen at all.
Not only that, Yun also noticed that deep in the underground world, there were huge turbofans slowly rotating. These turbofans looked inconspicuous, but from time to time there would be bursts of red light, making the entire underground world extremely gloomy and terrifying. The red light seemed to be coming from hell, making people shudder.
Yun stared at the turbofans below. Although they looked small, he knew it was only because of the distance. As for how deep it was, he was not sure. Moreover, since he could not summon a mount here, Yun did not dare to jump down rashly. After all, no one knew what kind of danger was hidden below.
After some thought, Yun decided to follow the road towards the first star energy extractor, hoping to find some clues or answers there.
"Lord Yun?" This sudden voice seemed to come from the netherworld, and it was particularly abrupt in this terrifyingly quiet underground space. Yun was caught off guard, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat. He stared with wide eyes and looked around in horror, but he saw nothing except darkness and deathly silence.
"Who?" Yun's voice was trembling, cold sweat began to appear on his forehead, and his heartbeat accelerated rapidly. He waited nervously, hoping to hear some response, but after a long time, the surroundings were still quiet, without any sound.
Yun heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe it was just his own hallucination. But just as he was about to move on, the voice rang out again without warning: "Master Yun?"
This time, even though Yun was somewhat mentally prepared, the voice still broke through the night sky like a bolt of lightning, striking deep into his soul and causing him to shiver involuntarily.
"Who are you? Where are you? Are you here?" Yun's voice was full of fear and confusion. His body trembled involuntarily, as if the owner of the voice was standing in front of him, but he could not see him.
"Lord Yun?" The voice seemed not to hear Yun's question and kept repeating it.
Various possibilities flashed through Yun's mind, and suddenly, he thought of someone - Xin Diyalai. That voice sounded very much like her, could it really be that she was here?
"Cindyale, is that you? Where are you?" Yun asked loudly with a glimmer of hope.
However, the voice did not answer him, but continued to repeat mechanically: "Lord Yun?"
Yun's patience was wearing thin, and his fear was growing.
"Who are you? Where are you... where are you... where are you?" Yun finally couldn't stand it anymore and yelled at the top of his lungs. His roar echoed in the empty underground space, forming waves of echoes, as if the entire underground was responding to his questioning.
"Master Yun?" The voice echoed in the darkness, seemingly endless. Yun's heartbeat became more and more intense, and he clenched his fists tightly, trying to calm himself down.
"Damn it, am I still afraid of you?" Yun secretly encouraged himself in his heart, but his voice trembled unconsciously. He took a deep breath and chanted a spell, "Fireball!" As his voice fell, a ball of blazing flames appeared in his hand.
Yun threw the fireball forward, and the fireball drew a bright arc in the darkness, illuminating a small area around it. However, this could not completely dispel the darkness, and the underground world still looked gloomy and mysterious.
Yun was unwilling to give up, he continuously released fireballs, one after another, flying around him, illuminating the area around him. Finally, he could see the surrounding environment clearly - there was only a long passage, empty on both sides, without any trace of anyone.
"Lord Yun?" The voice still came slowly, as if mocking Yun's fear. Yun's forehead began to sweat, his throat was dry, and he could hardly make a sound.
"Damn it." Yun cursed in a low voice, unable to bear this weird atmosphere any longer. He turned around and ran along the passage, hoping to escape from this terrible place as soon as possible.
"Master Yun?" "Master Yun?" "Master Yun?" The voice followed Yun closely like a shadow. Yun's steps became faster and faster, and his breathing became more rapid.
However, just when he felt desperate, he suddenly found that the sound seemed to be getting louder. This made him feel moved. Could it be that... the sound came from outside? And, in front of him?
Yun stopped and listened carefully to the sound. Yes, the sound was getting louder and clearer. This meant that the thing making the sound was waiting for him not far ahead.
Although this discovery did not completely eliminate Yun's fear, it at least gave him some psychological preparation. He calmed himself down and continued to move forward cautiously.
Soon Yun arrived at the first star energy extractor. Yun saw two thick tubes in front of him that led directly to the darkness above. However, Yun could clearly see that there was a circular node near the bottom of the tube, and there was a gray-white figure soaking in this node.
Yun was somewhat surprised. This thing was definitely not there last time. Why did it appear? What was it for? What did it have to do with the one who had been calling him just now?
"Lord Yun?" The voice continued, but it was already louder.
"Damn it, never mind." Yun jumped directly towards the strange figure.
As soon as I approached the cloud, I was surprised. It was not a human figure at all, but a group of figures, more like a soul, completely asleep there.
"System, are these all souls?" Yun asked in surprise.
"Yes, these are souls with star energy." The system replied.
"Souls with star energy? What does that mean? Don't all souls have star energy?" Yun didn't understand what the system meant by this sentence.
“When life is born, a small amount of star energy is integrated into the soul, so that it will not be suppressed by the star soul, but these star energies cannot be used. However, these souls are injected with usable star energy, so trapping them here may be to convert star energy through them.” The system explained briefly.
"Huh? Who did it? Are these souls Sindialai and the others?" Although Yuntian didn't understand, it was definitely not a good thing.
"Yes, all those who have directly or indirectly received your gift have usable star energy in their souls," said the system.
"Huh? What did you say? The soul I bestowed contains usable star energy? Then what kind of energy did I bestow? I also bestowed energies of other ancient gods? How come..." Yun was a little puzzled.
"Yes, bestowing itself is to integrate energy into the soul. The body alone cannot hold so much energy. The energy you use is just a medium. After bestowing, you can use this energy, or you can use their own energy. The use of this energy itself is carried out through the soul to obtain the ubiquitous star energy." The system continued.
"Everywhere? Isn't that chaotic energy? How is it related to star energy?" Yun became even more confused after listening.
"Because chaotic energy is star energy. Chaotic energy is the star energy of the mother star. The mother star was exploited by various forces and finally exploded. The star energy of the mother star, that is, chaotic energy, filled the entire universe." said the system.
"Mother planet? What is this?" Yun was completely confused. How could such a new thing appear?
