Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train Chapter 1244 - 480: Omniversal Evolution

As all thoughts converged, Lin Xian's mind gradually cleared from its turbulent state. He gazed at the majestic and mysterious planet map within the Star Dome Space, his consciousness slowly returning to his physical body.

Upon opening his eyes, he found KIKI sitting at the table before him, legs crossed, observing him with a leisurely air. Noticing Lin Xian's eyes open, she immediately inquired,

"Did it succeed? Why did it take so long?"

Hearing this, Lin Xian's brow furrowed. He held his dizzy head and glanced at the time.

1:32 AM

He had unexpectedly spent so much time within the Black Star Forge without realizing it.

"Is it long?"

Lin Xian felt puzzled. Having interfaced with Viola's supercomputer, he had instantly drawn countless conclusions. The most probable reason was that his mental processing speed had been accelerated, facilitating extremely rapid event analysis. However, his conscious mind could not fully synchronize with the supercomputer, thus dulling his perception. He felt as though only a few minutes had passed, when in reality, nearly five hours had elapsed.

"How are they?" Lin Xian's thoughts immediately turned to his teammates, who were engaged in Crystal Grid Cultivation at that moment. KIKI waved a hand at him, signaling him not to worry.

"Sister Chen and the others are keeping watch there, so nothing will go wrong. Although everyone else seems normal, only Brother Huo is acting a bit odd."

"How so?"

"Who knows," KIKI replied, floating upwards. "Director Ding said he's in a rather excited state, causing his Spirit Vibration Value to fluctuate occasionally and heat up the surrounding air. Just in case, Sister Chen has already called Shi Zhi for support, and Viola has gathered robots to guard his Hibernation Pod. Aside from this, there are no other issues, with so many people observing."

"That guy..."

"And what about you? Did your supercomputer interface succeed?"

Lin Xian nodded. "Fairly smoothly. I resolved quite a few issues. Oh, KIKI."

He spoke, raising his hand to grasp a faintly glowing container that descended from the Black Star Forge Space. "Do you remember this?"

KIKI exclaimed instantly, "Isn't this the item discovered in the experimental field in Qingshui Town? What, do you have a clue about it?"

Lin Xian pondered, "This item should be related to my Mechanical Heart. I mentioned to you before, I suspected my Mechanical Heart and your superpower..."

"Aren't the same power?"

KIKI bit into a lollipop. With a flick of her finger, she used telekinesis to retrieve the mysterious container, examining it thoroughly. She then stated, "If not for the concern of damage, with Viola's computing power, forcibly cracking its password would be instantaneous. I'm just puzzled; if this isn't a taboo item, why can't your mechanical superpower directly control or decompose it?"

"That's precisely what baffles me," Lin Xian's gaze swept over the container. "An item that resonates with my Mechanical Heart but cannot be decomposed or controlled. Based on energy analysis, it doesn't belong to any known taboo item. I'm curious how the Foundation acquired such an object."

KIKI looked at him. "Are you worried your powers might have some connection to the Foundation, and if so, it poses a significant threat to you?"

Lin Xian's brow furrowed deeply. At this moment, he produced the Civilization Preview Ball, solemnly declaring, "The Foundation has effectively become the 'spokespeople' for the Dark Civilization. They are now relentlessly persuading elites within the Human Camp. These methods suggest they might have established some form of communication with the Dark Civilization. In contrast, the Phoenix Society appears quite passive, which is not good news. The higher-ups in the Phoenix Society possess a more extensive information base than we do, indicating the overall situation might be even worse."

"That's simple," KIKI said, handing the mysterious container back to Lin Xian. "Either forcibly break it open, or bring Hua Xiaoling over. Surely, you'll obtain the answers you seek."

Lin Xian smiled inexplicably upon hearing this. "That woman managed to appear before our base unnoticed. Even my drone patrol array didn't detect her, and then she vanished right before our eyes. It's fortunate enough that we weren't attacked by individuals from the Holy City or the Holy Revelation. If they haven't apprehended me, it implies the Foundation might not be prepared to use force against us yet. Perhaps they are still preparing to sway us. Capturing her is certainly difficult."

"You’re simply too cautious." KIKI crossed her arms, a smile gracing her lips: "Indeed, I acknowledge that Hua Xiaoling or the Foundation might possess deeper truths, or perhaps they have guidance from the Dark Civilization, coupled with cooperation from the Holy City and Holy Revelation. They might wield various peculiar taboo items, Disaster Plants, and the like. However, their advantage is merely superficial. If a true conflict were to erupt, the outcome might not be so certain. No matter how formidable they appear, they are still human, not extraterrestrial beings. What is there to truly fear?"

Lin Xian paused upon hearing KIKI's words, then responded with a chuckle: "Not bad, young lady. Your analysis of the situation is even more astute than Viola's system. I concur with your assessment."

"Oh, and there's also that... the dice."

KIKI suddenly recalled: "Didn't it predict your countdown the last time? This item is incredibly strange. I suspect it's related to the Foundation. Perhaps the items you possess are the reason Hua Xiaoling was able to locate you. What are your thoughts on this?"

"Well... I have indeed considered it."

Lin Xian shrugged his shoulders: "I've placed both these items within the Black Star Forge. If even that couldn't conceal them, then hiding them further would be pointless. However, I'm not inclined to discard them based solely on these suspicions."

KIKI nodded, her brow furrowed in contemplation: "You are correct. You have a habit of retaining treasures that can yield surprising results; they might prove immensely useful someday. One resonates with your Mechanical Heart, while the other is clearly not a product of Blue Star Technology and possesses predictive capabilities. Discarding them would indeed be a regrettable loss."
