Chapter 632 Mysterious Figure and Shocking Truth
The stone gate slowly opened, and a powerful surge of energy rushed out, gradually revealing the figure in the light. Lin Yu and his companions instinctively gripped their weapons, nervously watching the mysterious being emerge. When the light faded, an old man dressed in strange attire appeared before them. The old man's face was etched with the marks of time, but his eyes were deep and unfathomable, radiating a wisdom that transcended worldly concerns.
"You've finally arrived." The old man's voice was deep and gentle, echoing in the empty space. "I have been waiting for this moment for a long time."
Lin Yu frowned slightly and asked warily, "Who are you? Why are you here? What secrets are hidden here?"
The old man smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping over the three faces one by one. "I am the guardian of the secrets of this universe, and this building is the key to the balance of the universe. The answers you have been searching for will all be revealed here." With that, the old man turned and walked through the stone gate, gesturing for them to follow.
The three exchanged glances, hesitated for a moment, and then followed them inside. Inside was a huge circular space, with a massive crystal ball suspended in the center, emitting a soft and mysterious light. Surrounding the crystal ball were various strange instruments and devices, flashing with different colored lights, and complex energy lines flowing and weaving within them.
“This is the cosmic balance center.” The old man walked to the crystal ball and gently stroked it. “The energy of the universe is not eternally stable. Every long period of time, it will face a major energy reshuffle. This is the universe’s self-adjustment, but if the imbalance becomes too severe, the entire universe will fall into endless darkness.”
Ellie asked in surprise, "So those unusual phenomena and the appearance of the mysterious forces are all related to this energy reshuffle?"
The old man nodded. "That's right. The mysterious forces are trying to take advantage of the energy reshuffling to control the energy of the universe and achieve their ulterior motives. They are searching everywhere for ways to activate energy sources, but they don't realize that this will only exacerbate the imbalance of the universe."
Recalling his previous experiences, Lin Yu suddenly understood, "The crystals, minerals, and energy codes in the ancient books we found are all key to maintaining the balance of the universe?"
“Exactly,” the old man affirmed. “The crystals and ores in your hands are the keys to opening and stabilizing the universe’s balance center, while the energy code is the command to activate it. But that’s not enough. To truly save the universe, you also need courage and wisdom.”
Just then, the crystal ball suddenly began to vibrate violently, cracks appeared on its surface, and its light flickered. The old man's expression changed drastically. "This is bad! The mysterious forces have started their plan! The balance of the universe is rapidly collapsing! We must act immediately!"
He quickly turned around, pointed to the surrounding instruments, and said to the three of them, "You each operate these instruments and adjust the energy frequency according to my instructions. I will stabilize the crystal ball to buy some time."
Lin Yu and his two companions immediately sprang into action, each heading towards a piece of equipment. The equipment was covered with complex buttons and dials, its operation obscure and difficult to understand. However, under the old man's guidance, they gradually grasped the essentials and began adjusting the energy frequency.
However, the mysterious force seemed to have detected their actions, and the roar of aircraft could be heard again outside the building. Immediately afterwards, a violent tremor followed, clearly indicating that the mysterious force had begun attacking the building.
"They're here! We don't have time!" Xiao Wang shouted anxiously. Lin Yu gritted his teeth, "No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must persevere. This is our only chance to save the universe!"
Amidst the attacks from the aircraft and the shaking of the building, the three struggled to operate the instruments, their backs soaked with sweat. The crystal ball cracked more and more, its light growing dimmer. Each tremor made their operation even more difficult, but they did not flinch.
Suddenly, the instrument Ellie was operating emitted a sharp alarm, and a critical component began to smoke. "Oh no, the instrument is going to break down!" Ellie cried out in panic. Lin Yu quickly ran over to check the instrument. "I'll try to fix it; you continue adjusting the other parameters!"
Just as Lin Yu was focusing all his efforts on repairing the equipment, the building's defense system finally succumbed to the attack of the mysterious force. A beam of energy pierced through the wall and hurtled towards the crystal ball. In this critical moment, could they successfully repair the equipment, activate the cosmic balance center, and save the universe from plunging into darkness?
