Chapter 1719 Boarding the ship!

"Do you know what this is?" Ye Chuyun asked in a deep voice.

Zu Long slowly sat down, took several deep breaths, and barely managed to calm his turbulent emotions.

His gaze toward Ye Chuyun became incredibly complex.

"Young Ye, I really don't know if you've hit the jackpot or run into the worst luck..."

Do you know what the 'Monument of Annihilation' means?

"All I know is that it seems to be related to some being imprisoned at the bottom of the abyss or in the void, and is part of the key," Ye Chuyun said truthfully.

“A key, it’s more than just a key…” Zu Long gave a bitter laugh.

"As far as I know, the Monument of Annihilation is likely an artifact used in a previous era, or even earlier, to seal, suppress, or record an ultimate calamity or existence that led to the world's annihilation."

"It itself contains fragments of the laws of annihilation."

"It is a symbol of taboo, a vessel of calamity, but at the same time it may also contain a glimpse of the secrets to pierce through annihilation and even touch upon eternity."

Kurosawa's voice came from the shadows: "No wonder... no wonder the Shadow Council is so crazy."

"What they seek are relics that touch upon the roots and taboos of the world."

"What do they want to do by collecting the fragments of the Monument of Annihilation? To recreate the calamity or to control the forbidden?"

Moro's expression was extremely solemn: "Whichever it is, it is enough to make them stop at nothing."

"It's really hard to say whether these four fragments in your hands are a blessing or a curse for you."

"It could bring tremendous opportunities, or it could bring utter destruction. The Shadow Council will never let this go. Their obsession with the fragments far exceeds your killing of a few of their deacons."

Ye Chuyun stared at the four cold, broken pieces on the table, her heart churning with turmoil.

He originally thought it was related to a powerful sealed being or a treasure, but he didn't expect it to involve something like "ancient calamity" or "the law of annihilation".

The risk has escalated again.

But at the same time, the possibility of opportunities has also increased.

“It seems that the trip to the Sky Continent was not only about solving energy problems and improving strength,” Ye Chuyun slowly put away the fragments.

He looked around at everyone: "We are clear about the threat. Although there is still time, every second counts."

"The aerial continent is the key to breaking our deadlock."

"Now, I order all personnel selected for the 'Kunpeng Project' to complete all necessary preparations within one hour, carrying their highest-level combat equipment and three days' emergency supplies, and assemble in front of the classified warehouse to prepare for boarding."

"Qian Duoduo, you should also give the order: the personnel remaining on duty should immediately enter 'deep-sea' mode, and external control should be raised to the highest level."

"I will personally send a message to An Qiaoqian, informing her of the potential risks of the portal and raising the alert level."

"Now, act!"

"Yes!"

After the meeting ended, everyone quickly dispersed to begin their own preparations.

.....

An hour later, the money in the secret vault.

More than twenty figures stood silently, each one almost fully armed, wearing almost every tool and item they could think of that could help.

In front of them was the Narwhal spaceship, which was gradually being activated.

Arnor was still working hard to build war fortresses for the Falcon.

Therefore, he could only complete this task by remotely guiding his disciples.

The person acting as Arnold's tool this time was a new engineer named Han Yun.

Han Yun is an engineering prodigy recently discovered using talent potions, possessing master-level engineering talent.

If they can be nurtured with great effort, it's not impossible for them to become masters in the future.

First of all, he is very studious and hardworking.

The second Arnor liked him very much and was willing to teach him everything he knew.

Han Yun is now an intermediate engineer, and he has only been learning for less than half a month. This speed has already surpassed all other engineers.

Under Arnor's remote guidance, Han Yun nervously helped activate the Cloud Whale spaceship.

Fortunately, activation was not difficult, and the Cloud Whale spaceship was slowly started up under Han Yun's control, with the hull gradually growing larger.

Fortunately, the space inside the warehouse is independent and can be expanded indefinitely.

The silver patterns on the spaceship's surface were now fully illuminated, and the hatch on the side of the hull was open, extending out a faintly glowing staircase.

Han Yun, along with several other highly skilled engineers, was conducting final pre-flight checks.

"How much longer?" Ye Chuyun, who was almost ready, came over and asked.

"It'll be ready soon."

Although Han Yun's eyes were bloodshot, he was in high spirits: "The Cloud Whale spaceship has been fully debugged, the floating stone is operating stably, the Eye of the Storm has been pre-charged, and the stealth module has been activated."

"The barrier generator has been installed according to the temporary plan. With the Sky Crystal as the buffer core, it can currently achieve about 70% of its theoretical efficiency. Its connection with the energy network is 85% stable, which can meet the needs of emergency start-up and basic navigation."

Ye Chuyun nodded: "Thank you for your hard work. We will bring back the two missing Sky Crystals."

Han Yun solemnly said, "I wish the Alliance Leader and everyone a safe journey and a triumphant return."

"Do not worry."

Ye Chuyun turned around and faced the group of people who were all ready to go.

His gaze swept over them one by one.

"Board the ship!" Ye Chuyun didn't waste any more words.

The group filed in, ascended the light staircase, and entered the Cloud Whale spaceship.

The spaceship's interior space is larger than the entire city lord's mansion. The main control hall is located above the bow, offering a wide field of vision, with a huge arched observation crystal window in front.

The central hall houses the command console and several auxiliary control positions, while the surrounding area is divided into zones for energy monitoring, flight path planning, and communication.

The living quarters, training rooms, medical bays, weapons control rooms, warehouses, and other functional areas extend along the central passage to the stern, with a reasonable layout and complete facilities.

Everyone was awestruck by the spaceship.

Even the three members of the Ancestral Dragon Clan, who were well-versed in the world, showed approval in their eyes.

"Everyone to your positions." Ye Chuyun walked to the captain's seat, and Ye Wen naturally sat down in the position of deputy captain and navigator.

Su Muyu sat at the communications station and began to fine-tune the connection between her [Spiritual Perception] and the spaceship's communication system.

Qin Feng, Bai Hang, and the others dispersed to various observation windows or standby control consoles.

"Start the main engine, energy output 15%, vertical ascent mode," Ye Chuyun commanded with a wave of his hand.

"Yes, main engine started, energy output 15%, vertical ascent mode activated!" Ye Wen skillfully operated the control panel.

The floating stones at the bottom of the spaceship suddenly emitted a strong blue light, and a powerful upward force lifted the massive hull, slowly lifting it off the warehouse floor.

The multi-layered protective gates at the top of the warehouse had already slid open silently, revealing the deep night sky above.

The Narwhale spaceship, like a giant whale awakening, passed through the warehouse gates and entered the night sky.
