Chapter 1041 Locating a Sp.a.w.n Point

Although Leon acquired the allegiance of the Golden Suanni Clan's Paragons, he still felt it was necessary to give them a small taste of the benefitseven if the benefits weren't for themselves to enjoy.

Nevertheless, after gifting the early parts of the Suanni Lion Bone Forging Method to the Golden Suanni Clan's Paragons, he cemented his position in their hearts.

A short while later, Rains.h.i.+ne hopped down from the branches on the outskirts and climbed onto Leon's shoulders.

"Will we be heading over to the western tribes for negotiations now, Master?" Rains.h.i.+ne asked.

"No, not yet," Leon said with a shake of his head.

"The secrets of the abyss need to be explored, and the Golden Suanni Clan's home needs to be restored. We won't leave until we complete these two objectives."

"Can we explore the abyss with you, my Lord?" Goldenstride requested with an eager look.

Goldenstride had always been curious about the abyss. Now that there was an opportunity to explore it, he didn't want to miss out.

"You can't fly, Lord Goldenstride. You will only inconvenience the lord if you join him," Dawnchaser stated.

"It matters not," Leon casually said. "You can all join me, but not now. I need to test something first. Once it's done, we can all explore the abyss together. Guard the perimeters of the abyss while I am gone."

"Yes, my Lord!" the Paragon-level Golden Suannis obeyed.

Shortly after, Leon took off into the sky, shooting straight into the black clouds before parting them with his Divine Will.

The first ray of sunlight immediately shone straight down into the abyss, followed by a rus.h.i.+ng tide of Wrathful Demon Energy squeezing its way through the small gap in the black clouds.

As the gap expanded, the ray of sunlight grew into a thicker pillar of light.

Nevertheless, Leon didn't make the gap too big. Just enough for the pillar of sunlight to s.h.i.+ne down the center of the abyss as the Whitebone Fiends had previously done.

Afterward, Leon flew parallel to the pillar of sunlight, heading straight down to investigate the changes created by the Wrathful Demon Energy in the abyss.

At the same time, Rains.h.i.+ne held onto Leon's shoulders tightly as her fur stood on end. Supposedly she was afraid of heights, but she still kept silent.

"W-what are you testing, Master?" Rains.h.i.+ne asked in a slightly trembling voice.

"I'm not quite sure myself. I guess we'll find out soon enough," Leon casually replied.

A few moments later, Leon reached the bottom of the abyss, where the pillar of sunlight directly shone on the piece of s.p.a.ce debris.

At that moment, Leon and Rains.h.i.+ne could see the runic patterns on the s.p.a.ce debris s.h.i.+ning, which wasn't present previously without the pillar of sunlight.

That being said, Leon didn't seem surprised by the discovery.

"As expected of a relic from the Nova Civilization. Even if it's just a small piece of a whole, it still has the function of absorbing and refining the limitless solar energy of the sun, which allowed The Nova Civilization to prosper during their era" Leon muttered.

"But given its incomplete structure, it might not have all its intended function in this single piece of debris, and its functions definitely wasn't intended for Wrathful Demon Energy."

"Nevertheless, let's see where the energy leads" Leon muttered.

He spread out his divine sense and traced the flow of Wrathful Demon Energy and solar energy running through the runic patterns. The energy went through myriads of complex pathways in the thick hull and reached the interior s.p.a.ce before splitting off into different directions.

Most of the pathways led to dead ends before the energy was leaked into the surrounding areas due to the incomplete structure.

However, Leon found out that some of the energy led to a room, which seemed to have been a sort of sleeping quarters. It was filled with two dozens of hibernation chambers.

If the room wasn't half destroyed, there were most likely to have been more hibernation chambers.

Some of the hibernation chambers were occupied by mutated humans who had been dead for over ten thousand years.

Despite that, they weren't reduced to bones and ashes. Their corpses were relatively well-preservedat least according to mortal standards.

The energy was delivered into their hibernation chambers.

However, the energy was further extracted by the tree roots and vines, which had made their way into the interior of the incomplete megastructure and penetrated the corpses.

"This is a bit more difficult to trace," Leon commented while rubbing his forehead.

There were hundreds of thousands of tree roots and vines underneath the metal s.p.a.ce debris.

Wrathful Demon Energy and solar energy only flowed through a few tree roots and vines connected to the corpses in the hibernation chambers. But as it flowed out, it connected to those hundreds of thousands of other tree roots and vines, each leading to various places.

Some went deeper into the abyss beneath, while others went into the surrounding rocky walls, where numerous cave entrances and earthen pa.s.sageways could be found.

If Leon wanted to explore all those entrances, it would take quite some time.

"I don't need to explore every single one of these cave entrances. Just one will do," Leon thought. That being said, he wasn't going to pick just any entrances.

Leon waited for a short while before he started hearing the bird-like cries of infant abominations being sp.a.w.ned.

He quickly followed the source of one of their cries and entered an earthen pa.s.sageway in the wall, burning all the infant abominations that tried flying out of it. Many also came from the rear as they were all attracted by Leon and Rains.h.i.+ne's presence.

However, Leon also burned them all without exception.

A short while later, Leon reached the end of the pa.s.sageway and entered a huge open s.p.a.ce. There, he found one of the infant abominations' many sp.a.w.n points.

It was a cave full of strange mutated plants, the likes of which Leon had never seen before. A few Whitebone Fiends were found within the sea of mutated plants.

Leon couldn't confirm whether they were still alive or dead.

However, they were all a.s.similated and became one with the mutated plants.
