Chapter 492 492 Chapter Underground Space
```
"Strange, Nirvana Land should have been formed by the planet itself, and the underground space was created when a spaceship crashed into an underground cavity. It's unlikely there's a Nirvana Land down there." Lin Shen thought to himself.
But according to the Wei Family, the underground cavity actually has the ability to breed Nirvana Creatures, which is too similar to Nirvana Land.
"If the Primeval Eggs inside the spaceship can influence and mutate the native life forms into Nirvana Creatures, then those Primeval Eggs must be overwhelmingly powerful…" Lin Shen couldn't imagine, if it really was the influence of the Primeval Eggs, just how powerful these eggs would have to be.
Wei Wufu continued with the Wei Family's plan; their task was not to participate in the extermination of the Nirvana Creatures, but to destroy the place where the Nirvana Creatures were being bred.
The main force for exterminating the Nirvana Creatures would be Wei Changqing and the other seven Nirvana Beings of the Wei Family.
Including Wei Wufu, there were now only thirteen direct descendants of the Wei Family left, the rest were either children who had not yet come of age, or those who had married out.
This time, the Wei Family was staking their last bit of strength. If the operation failed, or any unforeseen accident occurred, the Tiancheng Wei Family was essentially facing the same as extinction.
They only left behind a few female members and one severely injured Nirvana Being, who were responsible for protecting the children of the Wei Family and leading them away from Tiancheng if the mission failed.
From a few days back, the evacuation of Tiancheng's residents had already begun, even the orphans who grew up in Tiancheng were gradually being moved out.
It seemed that the Wei Family didn't hold much hope for this operation, otherwise they wouldn't have started evacuating in advance.
"Didn't you seek help from other families?" Lin Shen asked, frowning.
"Notified... Evacuate..." said Wei Wufu.
Lin Shen was also helpless; what Wei Wufu meant by notify and evacuate was probably to prepare other families for the evacuation of the mother planet.
Upon further thought, apart from the Wei Family, there were likely no Nirvana Level powerhouses on the mother planet. The role that Ascenders could play was indeed limited. Even if some were willing to help, their effect would be minimal.
Wei Wufu then gave Lin Shen some documents to read, all related to the underground space.
The more Lin Shen read, the more alarmed he became. If not for the Wei Family's staunch defense, countless Nirvana Creatures would have emerged from the underground space, and humanity would not have been able to resist at all.
Lin Shen's own strength, combined with the various items he possessed, made him unafraid of ordinary Nirvana Creatures. Furthermore, with Wei and Fei Zai (Fatty), along with the seven Nirvana Beings of the Wei Family, the chances of success were still very high.
At noon the next day, Wei Wufu brought Lin Shen again to the Townland Hall, and the seven Nirvana Beings of the Wei Family had all arrived.
In the entire Townland Hall, only the nine of them were left; the other Wei Family members were busy preparing for the evacuation.
If they failed, they would immediately evacuate Tiancheng, preserving the last Fire Seed of the Wei Family.
Seeing Lin Shen arrive, Wei Changqing and the others nodded slightly. By accepting Wei Wufu's invitation and coming at this time, they already regarded Lin Shen as one of their own.
"Once we're down there, don't rush to make a move. After we've surrounded the Nirvana Creature, you all try to destroy the thing that breeds Nirvana Creatures together. If it's not feasible, retreat immediately, without a moment's hesitation," Wei Changqing said to Lin Shen: "Child, I leave Wufu in your care."
"Sir Qing, I will advance and retreat together with Wei," Lin Shen replied.
Wei Changqing nodded slightly and turned to walk deeper into the hall: "Depart."
Without any further words, everyone followed behind Wei Changqing, heading into the depths of the hall, with Wei Wufu and Lin Shen trailing at the rear.
They passed through gateways thicker than city walls, with each gateway crossed, a drawbridge would fall.
```
When they reached the center of Townland Hall, a huge pit appeared before Lin Shen's eyes.
Only then did Lin Shen realize that the entire Townland Hall was built over a deep pit, which suppressed the main exit of the space underneath.
The beast tides that Tiancheng usually encountered were merely Base Variant Creatures that crawled out of nearby cracks. The real big guys were all pinned down here by the Wei Family.
Inside the pit was pitch darkness, and no Base Variant Creatures could be seen crawling out from it.
Wei Changqing took the lead, leaping into the pit, followed closely by the other six Nirvana Beings, each one jumping in after the other.
Lin Shen and Wei Wufu exchanged glances and jumped into the pit together.
Lin Shen didn't use his flying ability, allowing his body to fall freely; he had seen methods for entering and exiting the underground space amongst yesterday's resources.
His body continued to plummet in the darkness, the pitch-black hole seemingly bottomless, as if he were falling into the abyss of hell.
Just as Lin Shen thought he would keep falling endlessly into the abyss, suddenly, a light appeared before his eyes, and then he felt a terrifying force pulling his body down at a rapid speed.
Everyone tossed their claw-hooks connected to ropes, securing them onto the nearby stone walls.
Lin Shen did the same, stabilizing his form, and as he looked down, he immediately saw a sight that was astonishing.
Although he had read about the underground space in the data, seeing it with his own eyes was still staggering.
The depths of their mother planet were like an independent world, with mountains and rivers, forests and lakes stretching as far as the eye could see.
The sky of the underground world was a giant stone ceiling, except it was not ordinary rock but a type of glowing Crystal Jade.
In the Crystal Jade-like sky, there were countless fluorescent lights twinkling.
In the distance, there were towering Crystal Mountains stretching from the stone ceiling to the ground, resembling Mount Buzhou from the legends, supporting the heavens and the earth, and sustaining the entire underground space.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
They were suspended above the Sky Vault, right above a strange spacecraft, broken in two and embedded in a river.
One-half of that spaceship alone was as large as three or four football fields, and its broken end looked like lotus root with many irregular holes, resembling a cross-section of a honeycomb.
The spacecraft was carved like blue crystal throughout, with a smooth surface like a mirror, and the blue light radiating from its core bathed everything around in a ghostly blue hue.
The river's water was also blue, not because of the reflection from the spaceship but due to being tainted by something, a color similar to sapphire.
The strong suction pulled at their bodies, dragging them down; the ropes forged with materials unknown to Lin Shen used by the Wei Family creaked as if they could snap at any moment.
Before Lin Shen could take a closer look, already a swarm of creatures was flying towards them through the air.
Those creatures resembled earthworms with wings like bats, as large as pythons, their bodies seeming to be carved from blue jade, and in their circular mouths, a row of sharp teeth was visible.
"Down we go," commanded Wei Changqing, with a purple Phoenix Plume Knife appearing in his hand he casually made a slash, and a sweep of purple Blade Qi solidified, instantly slaying a large number of Crystal-based Creatures.
The other Nirvana Beings also summoned their Life Bases, slaughtering the Crystal-based Creatures that fearlessly lunged at them.
