Chapter 143: Steam Energy Tower

Hearing Gunie say this, the three divine envoys also breathed a sigh of relief.

This mysterious visitor from a foreign land was not someone to be easily offended; if things turned unpleasant, it would be quite unfortunate.

Now that he was willing to cooperate, they felt much more at ease.

"In that case, please come with us!"

With that, Kakaloi waved his hand, and a force enveloped Gunie, lifting him into the air.

Babalulia and Ruap, flanking him on the left and right, also flew along.

"Why not test him further?" Ruap transmitted teasingly.

"The test was only to verify his identity."

Kakaloi spoke softly.

"This man, facing so many of our strong, showed a calm expression without a trace of fear."

"Moreover, based on his unique traits, he could deduce that we were waiting here for him due to extraordinary means. That alone proves he is no ordinary person."

"That is enough; there is no need for further testing."

"Indeed."

Babalulia beside him also nodded slightly.

Traveling through the sky with the three, Gunie remained silent but carefully observed the differences between this supernatural world and the Oya Continent.

First,

the temperature environment.

The temperature conditions in this supernatural world were quite harsh.

Through his special visual ability, Gunie could see that the massive trees swiftly passing beneath had strong resistance to both high and low temperatures.

Clearly, when temperatures rose, they could withstand over a hundred degrees, and when they dropped, negative a hundred degrees was no issue.

Besides temperature,

Gunie could also feel the gravity of this supernatural world.

It was about eight to nine times that of the Oya Continent.

Under such high-pressure gravity, an ordinary person would collapse after just a few steps.

Only supernaturals could survive in such an environment.

Under such intense living conditions,

Gunie discovered another drawback: the source energy here was quite thin.

Even slightly less than some source-rich areas of the Oya Continent.

This was vastly different from what he had imagined—several times or even a dozen times richer than the fertile source environment of the Oya Continent.

"Ordinary humans of the Oya Continent are not suited to live in such an environment."

"But once they adapt, their physical constitution, honed by the natural environment, is essentially equivalent to being in high-intensity training every day."

"Survive, and you can gradually grow stronger—that is indeed true."

As they flew forward,

gradually, many tall towers in white and earthy yellow began to appear within Gunie's field of vision.

At the same time, Gunie saw huge mechanical energy towers standing on the plains.

These mechanical towers emitted a hazy mist.

"Are these steam mechanical towers?"

After a moment's thought, Gunie pointed at the tall energy towers and asked.

"They are steam mechanical energy towers," Kakaloi explained gently.

"Steam mechanical energy towers?" Gunie narrowed his eyes, listening quietly to the divine envoy's explanation.

"In many places, to obtain more resources, necessary infrastructure is indispensable."

"The most important aspect is the utilization of mineral resources."

"At this point, the core capable of accommodating the supernatural properties of metals and smelting them—the steam mechanical energy tower—is essential."

Gunie nodded slightly after listening.

On the Oya Continent, in the northern imperial territories,

steam engines had indeed begun to roar.

And large steel factories vaguely showed the prototype of steam mechanical energy towers.

Gunie even speculated whether someone had secretly obtained blueprints or prototypes of steam mechanical energy towers.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Oya Continent to develop so rapidly along such a similar path in such a short time.

"The Oya Continent itself is part of an ancient large supernatural world containing steam mechanical civilization; having such prototypes is not surprising," Gunie thought to himself.

"When our Oya Continent develops to a certain level,"

"it too can have deep-source anchors that continuously draw power from the source sea, towering steam mechanical energy towers, railway tracks crossing mountains and rivers, reaching every corner of the world."

"In the sky, there may even be source-powered aircraft; I recall the mechanical race uses source furnaces to make their mother ships fly across the heavens."

"The Oya Continent seems to be researching this as well."

"And steam-powered submarines have apparently already gone to sea."

After a moment of reflection, Gunie gradually calmed his mind.

"Everything on the Oya Continent is thriving, and as part of it, protecting it is something I must do."

Gunie thought to himself.

With Kakaloi's narration,

the four of them had already flown to the edge of a tall tower.

This was a mechanical tower.

The tallest among the many mechanical towers around,

fully twelve hundred meters high.

At the very top of the mechanical tower,

a source furnace, thirty meters in diameter, formed into some kind of apparatus, radiated blazing light.

The energy was so dense that within a hundred meters, three hundred meters, and a thousand meters around the source furnace, there were three thick energy rings.

Looking at this massive core source furnace,

Gunie finally began to understand why the surrounding source energy was so thin.

It seemed that the source energy within a radius of several hundred kilometers was all drawn to this huge core source furnace.

With the tall mechanical source furnace tower as the core,

the surrounding source energy was so rich it was suffocating.

Using source vision, Gunie could clearly see that the closer to the core, the denser the source energy.

Even at a distance of over ten kilometers, the source energy density was already more than ten times that of the outside.

At the core, the source energy was over a hundred times that of the outside.

Taking a light breath, Gunie felt the source energy nourishing his lungs and soul.

The four of them landed on a platform about a thousand meters up the mechanical source furnace tower.

As soon as Gunie landed,

the eight supernatural masters stationed there all looked over.

And their gazes undoubtedly all fell on Gunie.

"Lord Kakaloi, is this man the殿主's guest?"

"Yes, this visitor from a foreign land is the one the殿主 is looking for."

The eight stationed supernatural masters' expressions turned solemn.

"The殿主 has long instructed that if this guest arrives, he may enter directly."

"Mm."

Kakaloi nodded.

Then he looked at Gunie.

"Sir, please enter. The殿主 is already waiting inside for your arrival."

"Mm." Gunie nodded slightly, steadied his mind, and then moved toward the tower.

Upon entering, there was a corridor with a dark red golden luster.

After passing through this corridor,

Gunie looked around and felt as if he had arrived at a massive library.

At the same time, the noise from outside was completely blocked.

Just looking at the vast collection of books, Gunie felt a sense of calm and focus.

"Over here, please sit."

A voice, exceptionally soothing and comfortable, came from deep within the bookshelves.

Gunie walked over slowly.

Then, at a huge desk as large as a living room, Gunie saw a foreign strongman, fully five meters tall, sitting behind the desk, reading a book.

When Gunie arrived,

this strongman slowly closed the book before him and then fixed his gaze on Gunie.
