Just after entering school, you became an emperor pilot?

Chapter 524 We Are All Bugs

Only half of the black tower made of unknown black material was exposed above the water, and the rest stood in the center of the vortex, obscured by the water.

But just the part that is exposed above the water is estimated to be twenty stories high.

It stands there like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea.

Thunder flashed above, and the thick dark clouds emitted a very faint colorful glow against the backdrop of the starlight.

Rumble~

"……grave."

Lu Yun opened his mouth, stunned.

If it is a grave, then that means the old man the robot is talking about is dead.

The robot narrowed its eyes and said in a cheerful voice, "The old man said that was his grave, so it must be a grave."

"Okay, stop wasting time. I've been waiting here for over three hundred years. Let's go."

The robot turned twice on the spot, its tracks whirring as it ran towards the seaside.

Lu Yun looked back at Haotian who was parked at the entrance of the town, motioned him to follow, and then followed the robot.

After walking for almost ten minutes, the sound of waves became clear.

The towering black tower was magnified in the sight, and the many carvings and rough lines on the surface could be vaguely seen.

An ancient and heavy atmosphere hits you in the face.

The robot stopped at the edge of a cliff.

Just as Lu Yun was curious about how to get over, he saw the robot move a few steps on the edge of the cliff, as if trying to find its position, and then walked up.

An orange halo appeared out of thin air under the robot's feet, holding it firmly.

As the robot moved forward, orange halos appeared one after another and then gradually disappeared.

Lu Yun took a look and followed him up. He could feel a steady lifting force coming from under his feet.

All the way to the gate of the black tower.

The robot asked Lu Yun to wait for a moment, and then it walked to the door, extended its robotic arm, and slammed it twice.

"Old man, I've brought the person to you!" it shouted.

Lu Yun looked strange, but waited quietly.

After a while, the sound of steel crushing came from inside the door, and the heavy door slowly retracted to both sides.

A narrow gap was revealed, only wide enough for one person to pass through.

There is light shining from inside the door, warm and gentle.

After knocking on the door, the robot stepped aside to make way: "Go in by yourself, the old man is waiting for you inside."

Lu Yun took two steps forward and looked up at the nearly three-meter-high black tower gate.

For some reason, he was a little afraid to go in.

It's like being homesick.

Before coming here, he had all kinds of guesses, ideas, and questions to ask. He was extremely eager to know what was happening to him.

What is his origin?

His bloodline, Haotian, Xiaoai, and the Fire Bearer...

Etc., etc.

He had so many questions that he wanted answers to, but standing at the door, he was afraid to get the answers.

He was afraid that he would not be able to accept the answer given by the people inside the sect.

"Master, no matter what, Xiao Ai will always be with you." Xiao Ai noticed Lu Yun's emotions and supported him firmly.

Lu Yun nodded slightly, suppressed his restless thoughts, maintained a calm mood, and stepped into the gate.

The light enveloped and submerged his body.

Lu Yun quickly disappeared in front of the robot and Haotian, and the door closed.

Haotian's eyes flashed, as if he was about to take action. The robot suddenly said, "Don't worry, big guy. There's no danger in there. You'll see him again soon."

Haotian was silent.

……

Lu Yun had imagined the scene inside the black tower many times. It might be an illusion, or there might be a robot similar to Photon 0 waiting for him.

Or maybe the spirit of the dead old man ascended and turned into a mechanical consciousness that exists here.

But after entering, I found that it was not the case.

What appeared before my eyes was a very spacious hall.

A red carpet woven from the fur of an unknown creature stretched from the entrance to the depths of the hall, then went up the steps to the towering golden throne in the depths of the hall.

On both sides of the red carpet are six mecha statues, standing with their palms facing upwards, supporting the roof.

A vast star map is painted on the roof.

This scene seems to be saying that these six mechas support the entire universe.

The light coming from nowhere illuminated the empty hall in every detail.

There are countless murals painted on the walls on both sides.

Lu Yun was distracted for a moment and didn't notice a holographic projection appear next to him. It looked at the star map above his head and the murals on both sides with him.

"Are you the old man the robot was talking about?"

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yun noticed the projection of an old man beside him and asked calmly.

"it's me."

The old man nodded with a smile.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his body slightly hunched, and he was wearing clothes made of sackcloth, looking like an old farmer from ancient times.

He looked at Lu Yun, his eyes full of satisfaction: "You are much better than I thought."

"you know me?"

Lu Yun felt calmer than ever before, so he was not in a hurry to find the answer. Instead, he enjoyed the magnificent scene in front of him that had been passed down from the ancestral temple era.

"That depends on your definition of knowing."

The old man laughed and walked towards the statue on the left.

"If what you mean by 'knowing' is your name, your experience, or your social circle, then I don't know."

"But if you mean your origins, your past, then I can really tell you a thing or two."

"Do you think I know you or not?"

The old man smiled and turned around and asked back.

"Do the people in the ancestral temple like to be so secretive and play word games?" Lu Yun couldn't help but sneer.

He put in a lot of effort to get here.

There was even some luck involved.

The old man laughed out loud, "Young man, you're quite hot-tempered. It seems this trip wasn't a pleasant one."

"It's quite unpleasant." Lu Yun added.

"Please understand. After all, the glory of the ancestral temple has become history. Now we are just insects hiding in the shadows, so there is no choice but to be cautious."

"Bugs?" Lu Yun looked at the old man in confusion.

"Yeah, bugs."

The old man's voice was filled with sighs. He looked at the golden throne in the depths and said slowly, "Faced with such an existence, we are all insects."

Such an existence?

Is there something that even the ancestral temple would be afraid of and retreat from?

a long time.

He asked doubtfully, "What happened back then?"

"I met the last princess of the Seljuk Empire. From her, I learned that the ancestral temple disappeared overnight, and the universe lost its order and fell into chaos."

"But then I saw Photon 0 left behind by the ancestral temple. It overturned Mudoudou's statement and said that the ancestral temple still existed."

"I saw the town outside. It's been deserted for hundreds of years. That must be your final habitat. What could have forced such a glorious royal court to such a remote and desolate corner?"

Lu Yun asked repeatedly, staring at the old man's profile seriously.

That face was full of traces of time, lacking any of the grace and nobility that a descendant of the ancestral temple should have.

abjection.

This was the only adjective Lu Yun could think of.

The old man spoke in a low voice: "Everything started from a mistake."
