As they killed their way through, Feng Yuchen and the Accelerated Six Kings gathered together. All the guards and enemies along the way were basically killed. With the strength of all the players in the Accelerated World, it was easy to eliminate the enemies of the Divine Beasts.
Then, Feng Yuchen and the others gathered in a room in front of them. It was a very spacious temple.
Red pillars supported the rather high ceiling, and the four walls were decorated with gorgeous ukiyo-e. The whole space looked like the room of the final boss, but it seemed that there was no public enemy in it. However, there was some kind of dense atmosphere in the space.
"This isn't the center of the Forbidden City. That's the platform for the Fifth Star, the Alioth Star, and the Sixth Star, the Mizar Platform," the White King said as he looked at the two one-meter-tall stone pillars at the end of the room that were emitting a black glow.
There were different trays and plates at the top and bottom of the platform, which should be used to hold things.
In front of the two platforms, there was a small metal plate, other than a few words on it, there was also a strange picture engraved on it, in the picture were seven points, and six lines connecting these points, the shape of the lines and the points was the tail of the Ursa Major Constellation, the Big Dipper Seven Stars.
The Big Dipper on the two platforms was not exactly the same. The Fifth Star was bigger, and the Sixth Star was bigger. It seemed like it was used to differentiate the types of platforms.
"The Fifth Star and the Sixth Star, the strongest external equipment in the Accelerated World. The First Star, Dubhe, is one of the Four Labyrinths — the big sword in the depths of Shinjuku Metropolitan Hall. The Second Star, Merak, is one of the Four Labyrinths — the staff in the depths of Tokyo Station. The Third Star, Phecda, is one of the Four Labyrinths — the big shield in the depths of Tokyo Dome. The Green King holds it. The Fourth Star, Megrez, is one of the Four Labyrinths — the crown in the depths of Shiba Park. I currently hold it," Bai Xueji said.
"That means that this is not the last hall. There is another place in the center of the Accelerated World. It should be the Seventh Star, Alkaid, right?"
Feng Yuchen said.
"That is indeed the case …"
At this moment, a short virtual character walked out of the shadows. The first thing that came into view was his extremely clear, deep blue eyes, like the deep waters of a deep lake, but also like the blue dome of heaven looking up from the clouds.
His limbs had heavy armor plates that looked like long-sleeved trousers and a kimono, and an accessory shaped like a hair band extended from the back of his head to his waist. The mask that was revealed under the accessories was childish but firm.
The overall impression he gave was of a strong Japanese style, like a young samurai.
The young samurai-type character wore a strengthened outer armor for close combat on the left side of his waist. This strengthened outer armor was equipped with an oval blade and a thin scabbard. Perhaps it should not be called a sword, it would be more appropriate to call it a saber. However, the body of the saber had almost no curvature at all. The weapon's mirror-like silver, other than reflecting the virtual character's blue body, there were also countless light spots swaying within it. It was as if the endless starry sky had been condensed into the shape of a saber.
The young samurai stopped about ten meters away from the two of them. He put his left hand on the scabbard, and there was a light metallic sound. The young samurai unsheathed the saber and the scabbard from his waist and conveniently put the saber by his feet, making himself unarmed. Then, he said politely, "As you can see, I am holding the fifth piece of the Seven Star Set, Alioth. You should have Mizar in your hands. The remaining seventh piece of strengthened outer armor is the true center of the Accelerated World."
"Who are you?"
Feng Yuchen asked. Who was this young samurai who suddenly appeared?
"My name is Trilead Tetraoxide. This is the name given to me by my ancestors. My original name is Azure Hair. As for my purpose, I think it's probably to guide you on the final journey to the Accelerated World. I didn't expect to be able to gather together. This power might really be able to defeat the Yagami, obtain the final Alkaid, and clear this world," the young samurai said modestly and politely.
He did not seem like an ordinary person, and he appeared in the center of the imperial city. In reality, he should be an important person, right?
"The Yagami?" Black Snow Girl asked doubtfully.
"Yes, defeating the Four Gods is not the final result. The Yagami of the Yagami Shrine is guarding the Alkaid. His power may be stronger than the Four Gods. This is the final test," the young samurai said. "Come with me, I will take you to the Yagami Shrine."
The kings looked at each other, then looked at Feng Yuchen.
"Then let's work hard and rush to the end. No matter what kind of danger lies ahead, I think as long as everyone works hard, we will definitely succeed."
Feng Yuchen stepped forward and followed the young samurai. In the end, he knew that it was not so simple. The Yagami, it seemed that this was the final test.
"Well …"
Black Snow Girl and the others nodded and followed Feng Yuchen's footsteps. Could the Yagami really defeat them?
Feng Yuchen and the others followed the young samurai to the dark north side of the room. At the bottom, where the candlelight could hardly reach, there were walls made of the same red pillars and white walls as the left and right sides, but in the middle of the wall, there was something that they had not noticed before. It was an entrance, or it should be said that it was a door. Between the pillars that formed a small memorial arch, there was a dark hole, which overflowed with a freezing chill.
After passing through the memorial arch, they thought that they could not see their fingers in front of them. In fact, there was a faint light inside. This corridor did not go far before they reached the stairs leading to the underground. The faint light seemed to come from below. Feng Yuchen and the others followed the young samurai's footsteps, but they felt a strong pressure, even stronger than the pressure emitted by the Four Gods. There was a stagnant energy pressure in the air.
They walked down more than 30 steps along the ebony-like stairs, and after a 180-degree turn, they finally saw the end of the stairs. It was a slightly spacious space with a wooden floor, but it was much smaller than the large room upstairs with two platforms. The area was only a fraction of the latter.
Moving forward, they saw a second memorial arch, but it was even larger than the first one.
In front of the wooden space stood a vermilion pillar that connected the left and right walls to the ceiling, but between the two pillars there was an object that was not in the memorial arch upstairs.
It was a very thick pure white rope, the boundary between reality and the realm of the gods.
At this time, the young samurai stopped. Feng Yuchen and the others found that there was a light of a different wavelength than the flickering firelight in front of them. A platform made of black stone appeared in front of everyone. The shape was the same as the two platforms they saw before, and there was also a metal plate in front of it.
However, because the distance was too far, they could not see what was written on it.
Above the platform was shrouded in the blue light of the portal, and a warm golden light slowly pulsed, as if it was whispering to people, but also as if it was calling people.
"It's here, but if we go forward, I think the Yagami will come out …" the young samurai said.
