Chapter 568: Chapter 570: Folded State – Altar Palace

“Found it; looks like I don’t need Ji Shan to come over and break it for me,” Qin Muye finally breathed a sigh of relief, already contemplating resorting to metaphysics.

Following the positioning, he discovered a space similar to a sub-dimension and yanked out the Wise Man’s Book Shadow and tossed it in.

This thing could be manufactured again even if it was damaged, otherwise, he would really be intimidated if he had to go in person; who knows what’s inside.

As a Lord, Qin Muye didn’t follow the so-called invincible path, so when it was time to retreat, he retreated, and without anything like a Dao heart, naturally, his skin got thicker.

Through remote control, Qin Muye successfully entered the space.

“A palace like an altar, what now, are you trying to remind me that the end of science is theology?” Qin Muye looked at the temple altar and made a snide remark.

After exploring for a while, he found that the source of the signal was the palace itself.

The palace wasn’t in its normal state; it seemed to be in some kind of folded state.

It was only thanks to Qin Muye’s multi-view and the signal connection during the synthesis with the Three Great Treasures that he found it.

“The Three Great Treasures seem to be part of this palace, one of some powerful equipment.”

“So that’s how it is, the Life scepter belongs to the energy category, the Book of Eternity is the server, and the Galaxy Cube artificial intelligence is the processor.”

“But such an archaic thing doesn’t look scientific at all.”

Qin Muye found the most precious place in the palace, not its function, but the hidden abilities, a special technology like housing the great Mount Meru in a mustard seed, a technology far more powerful than space folding, even capable of eluding the scrutiny of an entire world.

The Cosmic Will might know about this special contingency plan, but obviously, it hadn’t found it, otherwise, it wouldn’t have left such a hazard around.

Didn’t you see that even the Three Treasures were disposed of? Certainly, a greater menace wouldn’t be spared.

“If this technology is integrated into the Endless Abyss, then every time I enter an instance, there’s no need to find a place for the Endless Abyss; it can be directly placed inside me.”

“This should be considered a type of portable space, shouldn’t it…”

Qin Muye discovered this loophole and laughed to himself.

“Most of the functions are shut down and dormant, unable to find any traces that I need.” After his jest, Qin Muye continued to collect data from the entire temple palace, but unfortunately, due to the shutdown, the data retrieved was limited.

To obtain more data, the temple palace had to be fully activated.

Just that Qin Muye didn’t understand what this thing was for, and random activation could lead to big problems.

That’s why he was so hesitant.

“The overall architecture resembles a place of worship, but aside from the surface style, this temple palace is definitely a culmination of the GROX Empire’s highest wisdom, not likely abandoned due to disrepair, but it feels this way due to the change in cosmic parameters.”

The entire universe is not constant; just like the environment, it constantly changes.

Therefore, the signal emitted by the temple palace can’t adapt to the current universe. If there were artificial intelligence or patch updates, this situation wouldn’t happen, but evidently, there weren’t, which caused the signal problem, but fortunately, it was connected, otherwise Qin Muye wouldn’t have been able to get in.

“It only needs to start the corresponding artificial intelligence for calibration, and it should be able to recover.”

“There are several energy supplies, but most of them are shut down, with only the energy for signal maintenance and concealment remaining.”

Qin Muye tried to initiate energy supply and activation but found that he could not start it, lacking the corresponding key program, so authentication failed.

“Is this thing this rigid? It’s obviously a contingency plan, but it requires Wang Wei…” Qin Muye frowned, unable to start it with technology and unwilling to use force.

This thing he could covet and even have.

Sitting in the temple palace, Qin Muye contemplated whether to initiate it; he really wanted the folded state technology, which probably wouldn’t be less valuable than his success in becoming a 9th tier.

“`

If the cuckoo’s plan to take over the nest fails, then the value of this folded state technology could increase by hundreds of times.

“Can only try to cut off this folded state space now and pull it back into the Endless Abyss,” Qin Muye thought simply. He firmly believed that once inside the Endless Abyss, there was no way it could turn the situation around.

Moreover, once the Folded State Altar Palace enters the Endless Abyss, there is no need to worry about any accidents that might occur after the fusion of the Three Great Treasures inside Wang Wei’s body.

In Qin Muye’s eyes, this object was just a part of the Altar Palace, even if it was a core part, it couldn’t represent the whole.

Which car runs on just an engine?

As long as the two are not united, it’s basically like a car without an engine and an engine without a car.

He knew that the missing secret key program was the Three Great Treasures. What else could it be if it’s already connected to the signal? Where else could it go?

Qin Muye had checked. In the entire Shining Universe server, only Wang Wei could connect to the Altar Palace; there was no second connection signal.

That’s why he was certain of the secret key. Though it might sound a bit stupid given the deep connection between the two things, it was just to be safe; Qin Muye carried out further investigations.

Qin Muye allocated a thread to remain on the Wise Man’s Book Shadow Costume, then returned to the Endless Abyss to summon remote support.

This kind of thing must be left to the Endless Abyss to cut through. It couldn’t possibly be his job to do it.

“I was hasty… couldn’t find the cutting point.” It was only after everything was in place that Qin Muye suddenly realized that this object was in a folded state, still folded together with the entire Shining Universe. This was the reason for its omnipresence. Despite the small size of the Altar Palace, if we talk about actual coverage, it spans the entire Shining Universe.

So, to cut it, it must first be separated.

But if Qin Muye had the corresponding technology for this, he wouldn’t have had such a hard time.

“There’s still a chance. Because it lacks the core secret key program, theoretically, the folded state isn’t complete.”

“A perfectly complete folded state, let alone entering it, might be an issue even finding it.”

“So, there is still an opportunity to cut and pull it into the entire Endless Abyss.”

Data began to flood Qin Muye’s mind, and he ran continuous calculations, with different plans taking shape, further refining their feasibility and success rate with the computing power of the Star Array.

“It’s worth a try, there’s a ninety percent success rate!”

Luckily, the Wise Man’s Book Shadow Costume was still inside, serving as a perfect coordinate point.

However, this would cause quite a bit of trouble again for the Shining Universe server, since the Altar Palace was in a folded state with the whole Shining Universe. The palace was essentially one with the universe. It would be problematic if Qin Muye’s forced separation didn’t cause issues.

It was similar to how his Dimensional Reaction Extraction Factory’s extensive extraction activities had caused irreversible damage to the universe. That was a necessity in the past, and though the damage that remained was being repaired, it didn’t mean it was not experienced.

Qin Muye personally took charge of the operation. The Spirit Monsters were definitely not up for such a massive project, and besides, the task of locating the Wise Man’s Book Shadow Costume would require him, given it was his avatar. Together with the Star Array, he could better calibrate the coordinates.

“Dead Silence Hand, prepare to activate level 3 power,” Qin Muye said with a serious expression. Cutting would definitely require the Dead Silence Hand, such a large project demanded adequate cutting means.

The Dead Silence Power was set as a ray which, under Qin Muye’s control, forcibly surged into a palace that was overlapping with another.

This palace was half illusory, half tangible, like it was in the universe yet submerged in a sub-dimension.

As the Dead Silence Power flowed in, the palace became more tangible, as if it was forcibly being pulled out.

“It worked, all units prepare. As soon as the Dead Silence Hand is turned off, immediately start the capture operation, forcefully breaking through the energy vacuum and initiating salvage action,” Qin Muye instructed and then slowly began to close the Dead Silence Hand.

Then the Endless Abyss surged forth, in coordination with the Serenity Sanctuary, instantly grabbed the palace that appeared in the universe and was about to revert to a folded state again, and pulled it back without regard for anything else. The entire Star Domain was stirred into disarray in that moment.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. The Altar Palace was pulled into the Endless Abyss in an instant, and then the various departments quickly initiated suppression action, fully securing the palace to prevent it from entering a folded state again.

“Phew~ done.” Qin Muye knew that the difficulty of the entire pulling process wasn’t great; the real challenge lay in not damaging the Altar Palace.
