Bright light, dazzling and brilliant, for a thousand years, the Underground Palace had never witnessed such scenery. Unfortunately, this fleeting beauty went unnoticed. After the light faded, the place that had gathered shadows of people was now empty. With their departure, the long-buried Underground Palace returned to a deathly silence.
Boom—
A muffled thunder-like sound echoed in Ouyang Zixin's ears, startling her so much that she almost lost control of the Mysterious Energy. At that moment, she remembered that the Small Stone Box in her arms seemed to have been brought out with her. Originally, she had no intention of taking anything from the Millennium Ruins, but how could she have forgotten this "only" item she obtained?
—Master, steady yourself!
Although Ouyang Zixin's method was not exactly a teleportation array, its nature was quite similar. Throughout the entire teleportation process, her role as the focal point was crucial; she absolutely could not afford to be distracted. Nameless naturally understood that the sudden sound from the Small Stone Box was uncontrollable, but he had to diligently protect his master.
Don't worry, I'm fine.
Ouyang Zixin focused her mind and calmed herself. Even if the Small Stone Box made disruptive noises again, she would not be easily affected.
Nameless, can you sense where we are now?
—Master, if Nameless is not mistaken, the space we currently occupy should not belong to the Yuhai Continent.
Indeed, Ouyang Zixin and her companions were in an unknown space surrounded by darkness. If it weren't for the faint glow of Mysterious Energy flickering around them, she would have doubted whether they had entered Absolute Darkness once more. After hearing Nameless's words, Ouyang Zixin was not surprised; if the Millennium Ruins truly dated back a thousand years, they should have long since eroded or disappeared and should not still exist. Since it had been preserved until now, it must be supported by some profound spatial or temporal magic. Their emergence from there should be a form of time-space travel.
Unexpectedly, on this ancient continent, there existed magical techniques akin to high technology. Ouyang Zixin couldn't help but smile wryly; all of this exceeded her understanding because even on Earth, she had never heard of such advanced scientific technology.
Legitimate Daughter Mechanism Self-Use...
These few words appeared again in Ouyang Zixin's mind. What did they mean?
Sigh, forget it; I won't think about it anymore. Let's get out of this space first.
Ouyang Zixin decided to stop overthinking; perhaps she would never understand all of this in her lifetime.
Dong——
It was the Small Stone Box again.
It seemed that the sound from the Small Stone Box was not a coincidence; what was it trying to signify this time?
Ouyang Zixin became alert. If something unexpected happened in this unknown space, they would all be doomed. She observed for a moment. Yun Tianmo and the others were maintaining their external Mysterious Energy, but they seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, leaving her as the only one awake. This meant that whatever happened next would depend solely on her. No one could offer her any help.
She slowly lowered her arms, which had been held up, and instructed Nameless to temporarily take her place. Maintaining the balance of Mysterious Energy, she took out the Small Stone Box from her arms, preparing to see what it was about to do.
The Small Stone Box appeared very calm, as if the sudden sound just now had not come from it at all. Its ancient gray surface was adorned with carvings that were hidden in the shadows, making them less noticeable. Ouyang Zixin reached out to lift the lid, revealing an interior that was pitch black, similar to this unknown space, except that within the Small Stone Box, there seemed to be tiny points of light flickering.
After observing for a while, she noticed that those small bright spots had no discernible pattern, as if they were grains of rice scattered randomly on the ground. They did not glow simultaneously but instead took turns flashing—one moment this one, the next moment that one. This reminded Ouyang Zixin of lying on the grass in her rural hometown as a child, gazing at the starry sky.
What was going on? When did the contents of this Small Stone Box change like this? Where had all the totems gone?
If the starry sky could be found with orderly constellations, then the lights within this Small Stone Box were completely irregular; therefore, it certainly was not a starry sky. What did it represent?
Just as Ouyang Zixin fell into contemplation, the surrounding space began to change. Starting from beside her, the dark space seemed to slither like a small snake, bringing forth points of light. At first, there were very few bright spots, and they were not very noticeable; even Nameless did not notice them. However, as time passed, the number of Light Spots increased and grew brighter, expanding outward until it soon reached the circle formed by the four people outside.
—Master, what is this?
Nameless called out to Ouyang Zixin several times before she snapped back to reality. She looked around and discovered that the outer space seemed to have been infected by the space within the Small Stone Box, becoming exactly the same—only much larger, like an enlarged version.
I don’t know what’s going on either; I haven’t figured out what’s happening inside the Small Stone Box.
Both master and servant were bewildered by this sudden change. However, seeing that there seemed to be no danger, Ouyang Zixin instructed Nameless not to worry and to continue maintaining the balance of Mysterious Energy, while she continued observing the Small Stone Box.
Why hasn’t it made any sound since I opened it?
“Hahaha, I didn’t expect I would have such a foolish day.”
“It’s you!” Ouyang Zixin exclaimed in surprise; that woman had appeared again. It seemed that escaping her was not so easy after all. “What do you want?”
"What are you doing? I'm here to help you, so hurry up and thank me."
"Thank you? Ha, I thank your whole family!"
"You're welcome."
...
Well, is this considered a generation gap? Ouyang Zixin silently complained to herself. After all, she wasn't being too unreasonable; this woman could very well be the "her" from before, and the family she thanked might include some of her relatives or even herself.
"Inject your Mental Power into the Small Stone Box, resonate with those highlights, and then you'll understand what they signify," the woman's voice was filled with nostalgia. "It will become your best Mystical Artifact."
Ouyang Zixin couldn't be bothered to argue with her and was more afraid she would start reminiscing about the past again, so she immediately followed her instructions—
"Oh my! How could this happen?"
She could hardly believe what she was seeing; it was all too incredible...
