?Chapter 1163: 362. Formal Meeting_2


    Nnd Lee steadied his mind and calmly waited for the moment when the “Escape” Core of the ne would “answer the phone”.


    As time ticked by, the Soul Energy within the Array steadily declined, and the star in the night sky grew a bit brighter and its outline much clearer.


    Nnd Lee squinted his eyes, staring at the star, observing its entirety with all his might.


    Nnd Lee had once asked the Assassin Angel, “What exactly does the ne Core look like?”


    The answer from the Assassin Angel was simple:


    For the current Nnd Lee, the ne Core is a star, which can be understood as a celestial body with Extraordinary Traits. <div>


    ...


    They are massive in size, able to move within the Universe, have tenacious vitality, and interfere with the Destiny of individual Life Creatures with extraordinary methods to satisfy their own needs.


    Within their bodies is an independent space that can be divided and given to the Life Creatures they favor to construct Sub-Dimensional nes.


    Wizards view the stars in the Night Curtain as the entrance and exit to the Sub-Dimensional ne, which is also a channel to enter and exit the internal space of the ne Core.


    Theoretically, beings like the Lecturer Professor who reside in Sub-Dimensional nes all live within the “belly” of the ne Core.


    Of course, the ne Core could also be thought of as a massive space ship, with the Sub-Dimensional nes being guestrooms on this ship.


    What Nnd Lee now needed to do was figure out a way to board the “space ship” of the “Escape” ne Core and be a “Passenger” on it.


    A few more minutes passed.


    The star in Nnd Lee’s eyes began to erge.


    He finally saw the full picture of the “Escape” ne Core.


    It was a very oddly shaped star, not spherical, but elongated and teardrop-shaped, like a tadpole with a long tail…


    Considering that the Inner Cosmos he resided in was spherical, and looking at the erging tadpole-shaped star, Nnd Lee’s expression turned somewhat odd.


    Why does this scene feel so familiar??… Nnd Lee paused for a moment, then immediately forced himself to remain calm and cast aside the random thoughts in his mind.


    He felt a force of attractioning from above his head, as if something was pulling him up into the sky.


    Completely letting go of control over his body, Nnd Lee allowed the force to pull him up into the Heavens.


    Gradually, the sound of the tide receded, and the vast ck Sea Surface was stepped under Nnd Lee’s feet, as the tadpole-shaped star in his eyes became increasingly bright, its light overshadowing most of the surrounding Starlight, with only The Moon remaining unaffected.


    Nnd Lee forcefully controlled his gaze to prevent it from drifting.


    He did not look down to check what was below his feet nor did he turn his head towards The Moon.


    He kept staring intensely at the tadpole-shaped star.


    This was something the Assassin Angel had repeatedly emphasized; during the Ceremony, one must not let one’s attention wander, otherwise the Ceremony could be interrupted immediately, leading to unpredictable consequences.


    At this moment, only the tadpole-shaped star and The Moon remained in the night sky; all other stars had disappeared.


    The tadpole-shaped star twinkled with a greyish light, its silver-grey body upying the left half of Nnd Lee’s vision


    The Moon, surrounded by a belt of lightposed of shattered stones, was serenely still, filling the right half of Nnd Lee’s view.


    The two celestial bodies reflected each other.


    Nnd Lee slightly turned his head, focusing all his sight on the tadpole-shaped star to avoid wandering thoughts.


    Just then, the scenery around him suddenly began to recede rapidly, and he ascended at an extremely fast pace.


    Before Nnd Lee could take a closer look, the tadpole-shaped star in his eyes suddenly erged, and he uncontrobly crashed onto the star’s grey Ground Level.


    In that instant, Nnd Lee crossed the surface of the star without hindrance, entering its interior and arriving in a unique space filled with swirling Grey Mist.


    Nnd Lee rxed his body, floating off the ground, suspended in the mist.


    The Assassin Angel said:


    “Sess. The ‘Escape’ has temporarily epted you. It looks quite weak; probably having wandered in the Barren Universe for too long without absorbing much of the Fire of St. Dn. Your arrival has just given it hope.”


    Nnd Lee blinked, looking around, then nced down at his own body, but all he saw was rolling Grey Mist.


    Well, just as the Assassin Angel described.


    What had entered this ce was his consciousness.


    His body was still lying on the Magic Intable Raft, coexisting with the ritual array.


    Nnd Lee randomly aimed in a direction and cast the Deconstruction Technique.


    [System Information:]


    [You are attempting to deconstruct “????”.]


    [Estimated to consume 130 billion Energy Points, which can bring the degree of deconstruction up to 10%.]


    [Due to your Character Level restriction, the degree of deconstruction can only be raised up to 10%.]


    There was no prompt from the System for Harmless Deconstruction.


    Nnd Lee subconsciously “rubbed his chin”, contemting how many Energy Points to spend in initiating the Deconstruction Technique.


    A grey shadow emerged, silently staring at Nnd Lee from several meters away.


    Nnd Lee closed the Systems Interface and faced the grey shadow, saying in his mind:


    “Your Excellency, is this the essence of the ne Core?”


    The Assassin Angel said:


    “Yes. It is observing you. Leave it to me.”


    Nnd Lee nodded silently to himself.


    A burst of deep purple fumes wafted from his body, especially conspicuous in the vast grey ocean.


    The grey shadow jerked like a startled small animal.


    The grey fumes around Nnd Lee roiled violently, and a massive repulsive force enveloped him, trying to throw him out.


    The purple mist, transformed by the Assassin Angel, burst apart and spread in all directions, dyeing the surrounding grey mist purple.


    The repulsive force vanished as the space stabilized, with the Assassin Angel forcibly stopping the core’s attempt to expel its visitor.


    An invisible rhythm transmitted from the purple fog, targeting the jerking grey shadow, and formed a purple sphere that enveloped the shadow.


    It was unclear what the Assassin Angel did and how itmunicated with the other party, but eventually, the grey shadow calmed down.


    After an indeterminable amount of time, the purple sphere covering the grey shadow dissipated back into a wisp of purple mist, returning to the Assassin Angel, who then flew back into Nnd Lee’s body.


    The voice of the Assassin Angel rang in Nnd Lee’s mind:


    “The ne Core behind you is not ‘Escape’. It answered your call solely because it urgently needs the Luminous of the Fire of St. Din.”


    “Eh?” Nnd Lee was taken aback and asked:


    “Then who is the ne Core behind me?”


    “Unclear for now.” The Assassin Angel didn’t dwell on this issue and went on to say:


    “Even though your Extraordinary Abilities do not originate from ‘Escape’, it is still willing to grant you a Sub-Dimensional ne to help you leave Outer Space.”


    Nnd Lee pondered and asked:


    “There must be conditions, right?”


    “Yes,” the Assassin Angel said:


    “When the ‘Wizard’ ne Year ends, and a new ne Core takes over the Inner Cosmos, it needs you to find a chance to return to the Inner Cosmos, help it open a ne channel, and assist it in stably acquiring the Luminous of the Fire of St. Din.


    “Due to a long time without absorbing the Luminous, it might take it several decades in human years to fully recover its ability to traverse Inner, Outer Space, and the Barren Universe. Your help is essential. Meaning, at least until its power is fully restored, you don’t need to worry about being abandoned by it.”


    Nnd Lee nodded slowly:


    “It sounds like an eptable condition.”


    The Assassin Angel fell silent for a few seconds before saying:


    “Since you are willing to ept its conditions, I won’t stop you. After all, I had promised to help you obtain a Sub-Dimensional ne. But, let me be clear, if youe across me while opening a ne channel in the Inner Cosmos, I won’t hold back. You must understand, fulfilling a promise and defending the order of the Supreme Star Pce are two different things.”


    Well, indeed an unsympathetic defender of order… Nnd Lee gave a stiff smile, then immediately raised a question:


    “Wait, Your Excellency, from what you’re saying, did you exit the control of the Main Brain Controller without the help of ‘Escape’?”


    The Assassin Angel said:


    “Not yet. ‘Escape’ will take several decades in human years to recover. I probably can’t wait that long and must find another way.”


    Nnd Lee raised an eyebrow but said nothing.


    The Assassin Angel continued:


    “You should make contact with it. Although it doesn’t understand thenguage of your Wizards, it can stillmunicate with you.”
