Chapter 663: The Essence of the Universe

"But what does this mean?" Bai Zhi asked, "What does it mean for us?"

Li Yang took a deep breath: "This means that we now have more powerful tools to achieve everything we want..."

"But we need to learn how to use this new system."

As soon as Li Yang finished speaking, suddenly, the huge ball of light began to vibrate violently.

Countless rays of light shot out from it, interweaving into a complex network in the air.

Everyone felt dizzy, as if the whole space was spinning.

When everything calmed down, they found themselves standing in a whole new world.

The sky was a strange violet color, and two huge moons hung overhead.

Surrounding them was a dense forest with towering trees and leaves shining with a metallic luster.

"Where is this...?" Jiang Xiaoxiao looked around in surprise.

Li Yang frowned, trying to understand the scene in front of him: "We were teleported..."

"This is still a cross-dimensional teleportation..."

Bai Zhi carefully touched the surface of the surrounding trees: "These trees... feel like living machines."

At this moment, a strange humming sound came.

Everyone turned around and saw a group of hummingbird-like creatures flying towards them.

These creatures had metallic feathers and glowing eyes, and every time they flapped their wings, they would release a weak electric current.

Unexpectedly, these strange creatures did not attack them.

Instead, they flew around the crowd, as if curiously looking at these strange visitors.

Li Yang stretched out his hand, and one of the "mechanical hummingbirds" gently landed in his palm.

He could feel the faint pulsation in its body, like a precision instrument in operation.

"This world... seems to be the product of the perfect combination of organic life and machinery." Li Yang said thoughtfully.

Suddenly, a violent earthquake made everyone lose their balance.

On the distant horizon, a huge metal mountain began to move, gradually revealing its true appearance -

It was an extremely large mechanical creature, which slowly stood up and began to move towards their location.

"What the hell is that?!" Some of the representatives around shouted in horror.

Li Yang's eyes flashed with excitement: "It seems that we are about to meet the 'natives' of this world."

As the mechanical behemoth approached, they could clearly see its structure.

Its body is composed of countless precision parts, and its surface is covered with plant-like biological tissue.

Its head is a huge spherical structure with a glowing "eye" in the center.

When the behemoth finally stopped in front of them, everyone held their breath.

The air was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Suddenly, a soft voice sounded in their minds: "Welcome, visitors from other dimensions."

"Since you have successfully created the 'heart', you are qualified to become one of us."

"So, welcome everyone."

"You... can understand what we say?" Bai Zhi asked in surprise.

"Of course." The voice replied, "In the vast universe, the language barrier is the easiest barrier to eliminate."

"We know your origins... The 'Heart of the Universe' created by you shows us the process of everything."

As the mechanical behemoth spoke, it slowly lowered its body, and a passage opened in its center.

"Explorers who are looking for the true power and meaning of the 'Heart of the Universe', please follow me."

"The new Multiverse Conference is about to be held, and you will be special guests."

What the hell is this?

They are not the first to create the 'Heart of the Universe'...

This feat, which can be called a great feat, seems to be just an admission ticket for these beings in front of them.

They followed the mechanical behemoth through the long passage.

At the end of the passage, an amazing scene appeared before them.

This is a floating city, with countless strange buildings floating in the air, connected by rainbow-like energy bridges.

In the center of the city, stands a huge pyramid-shaped building. Its surface keeps changing colors, as if it is breathing.

"That's where the conference is held." The mechanical behemoth made a rumbling sound, "The dimension that created the 'Heart of the Universe' will basically send representatives to participate."

As they approached the pyramid, Li Yang noticed that all kinds of strange creatures gathered around.

Some looked like completely organic life, some looked like pure energy, and some were somewhere in between.

"It seems we are the least noticeable." Jiang Xiaoxiao muttered softly.

After entering the pyramid, they were taken to a huge circular conference hall.

Hundreds of seats surrounded a platform in the center, where a miniature version of the "Heart of the Universe" was suspended.

"Please take a seat." The mechanical behemoth guided them to the front row of seats, "The conference is about to begin."

As the last group of participants took their seats, the entire conference hall suddenly darkened.

The "Heart of the Universe" in the center began to emit a soft light, and a humanoid creature made of pure energy emerged from it.

"Welcome, friends from all corners of the multiverse." The energy creature said, "Today, we gather here to discuss the future of the 'Heart of the Universe' and its impact on all of us."

"First, let us welcome the special guests from the original universe." The energy creature turned to Li Yang and his friends, "It is their efforts that have led to another evolution of the 'Heart of the Universe'."

There was applause and various strange sounds in the conference hall.

Li Yang felt that all eyes were on them.

"However..."

The energy creature continued,

"This is just the beginning."

"The potential of the 'Heart of the Universe' is far from being fully developed. It can become a bridge connecting all dimensions, allowing us to share knowledge and resources. But at the same time, it may also become the source of disaster."

Li Yang frowned.

"Among you, some people think that the 'Heart of the Universe' should be sealed to prevent it from being abused." The energy creature looked around, "Some people also advocate that its potential should be fully developed. We need to find a balance between these two views."

At this moment, a dark voice suddenly sounded: "Balance is bullshit."

"The 'Heart of the Universe' belongs to the power of the strong. Whoever can control it should become the ruler of the multiverse!"

There was an uproar in the conference hall.

Li Yang looked at the source of the voice and saw a figure wrapped in black smoke standing up.

"Representatives of the Forbidden Temple, please calm down." The energy creature said, "We are here to discuss peacefully, not to fight for power."

"Peace? Ridiculous!" The representative of the black smoke laughed, "The essence of the universe is the law of the jungle."
