Chapter 677: Alien Demander

Ella looked around nervously, while Li Yang remained calm as always.

"Li Yang," Ella whispered, "Do you feel that something is wrong here...?"

Li Yang nodded: "Is it wrong? Indeed, the environment here is much more complicated than I expected."

"However, no matter what is ahead, it is not enough to hinder me."

As they went deeper, the corridor gradually widened and finally became clear.

They came to a huge circular space, surrounded by towering metal walls, and a huge cylindrical device stood in the center.

The surface of the device was covered with complex circuits and runes, emitting a light blue light.

Although it was not a familiar shape... Li Yang still recognized it at a glance. This was the [heart] they were looking for.

However, at this moment, a huge roar broke the silence of the space.

From the shadows, a huge creature slowly crawled out.

It had a snake-like body, but its head was like some kind of deep-sea fish, covered with fangs and tentacles.

Its eyes emitted a faint green light, staring straight at Li Yang and Ella.

"This thing... has so much resentment!"

"Could it be the natives of this city?"

Li Yang frowned slightly: "Not really, this should be a creature unique to this world."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the destruction of this city is probably related to it."

The creature, which was almost covered in blood, slowly approached them, and every step made the ground tremble slightly.

It opened its bloody mouth and let out a deafening roar.

Li Yang was unmoved, just gently raised his hand.

"I have no interest in you, and I'll give you a chance to leave." He said softly, "But if you insist on blocking my way... then there's nothing I can do."

As soon as the voice fell, a crystal clear golden five-star bloomed in Li Yang's palm.

This is [Starry Bloomer·Carambola], which can release a meteor shower that can cover the entire galaxy.

Under Li Yang's control, it was not difficult to destroy a fleshy monster.

Li Yang waved his hand gently, and countless tiny points of light flew out of the flower, attacking the sea creature like a meteor shower.

Leviathan let out a painful roar, and its huge body was shaky under the impact of the meteor shower.

It tried to fight back, but in the face of absolute power, everything was in vain.

In less than a minute, this terrifying creature that once destroyed the entire civilization turned into a pile of charred ashes.

Ella stared at this scene in amazement: "Is this... the power of a mythical plant?"

Li Yang nodded: "Yes, but this is far from its full power."

"If it is released with all its strength, I'm afraid the entire galaxy will be reduced to nothing."

After that, he turned and walked towards the central device.

"Come on," Li Yang said, "it's time to take this [heart]."

He reached out and gently touched the surface of the device. In an instant, the entire space was shrouded in dazzling light.

When the light faded, Li Yang had a crystal flashing blue light in his hand.

This is the [heart] of the [Blue Spring] universe.

As for what kind of power is sealed in it...

[Plant illustration update: Mythical plant · Alien demander · Water grass unlocked]

[Plant characteristics: can entangle hostile targets (smaller than the size of a star) and forcibly swallow them into the alien world]

When he simply called it in his hand, many black tentacles would continue to emerge from Li Yang's side.

"Done," Li Yang put away the thing and turned back to say, "We should leave here."

Ella nodded, but there was still confusion in her eyes:

"Li Yang, don't you think it's strange..."

"On the way here just now, we can see a lot of corpses entangled by similar tentacles..."

"Since this civilization can use this level of power...why would it be destroyed here by this creature?"

Li Yang pondered for a moment and replied: "Maybe those guys are not natives at all, but prisoners."

"Prisoners?" Ella said in surprise.

"That's right." Li Yang explained, "From the corpses just now, the civilization with the [heart] obviously has the ability to mobilize its power and use it to fight."

"But under the premise of holding mythical plants, an entire civilization was buried in the belly of a fish, which is obviously not in line with common sense."

"So, is it possible..."

"This city has been a prison for these prisoners since the beginning."

"It's not them who use these water plants, but someone else?"

"As for this creature that suddenly blocked the road... maybe it's just a watchdog."

Ella nodded thoughtfully. Head: "So, are we now enemies with a powerful civilization again?"

Li Yang chuckled:

"Enemies? Them?"

"Forget it, a civilization that dares to declare war everywhere just by using the characteristics of the [Heart] will only have one end."

"Besides, even if they really want revenge, without the support of the [Heart], it can't easily locate us."

"How can people who have their tickets confiscated enter this multiverse club?"

As he said, he raised the [Heart] in his hand: "And after getting this, we are one step closer to the truth."

Ella nodded and followed Li Yang out of this mysterious space.

When they returned to the ground, the whole city seemed to be shaking slightly, as if it was waking up.

"It seems that without the support of the power of [heart], this city will soon sink to the bottom of the sea." Li Yang said, "We have to leave quickly."

He summoned [Universe Wanderer Water Lily] again, ready to leave this disappearing world.

Just as they were about to teleport, Ella suddenly asked:

"So... Li Yang."

"How many [hearts] do you think we need to collect before we can get closer to the truth?"

Li Yang was silent for a while, then smiled calmly:

"Who knows?"

"No matter what the result is, since I have made a plan, I must keep moving forward until I find all the answers."

As soon as the voice fell, the bright light enveloped them again.

When the light faded, Li Yang and Ella had disappeared, leaving only a mysterious city that was about to sink, quietly waiting to be swallowed by the sea forever.

As [myself] said before, every [heart] in this universe is a puzzle, and every world hides unknown secrets.

And on this road to explore the truth, they will face more similar situations, win more companions, and encounter more enemies.

But no matter what is waiting for them ahead, Li Yang is ready.

Because he knows that only by moving forward can he finally uncover the truth of the [system] and understand the meaning of transcending the [system].
